If we put aside the survivors in the forest for the moment, in fact, from the moment the head of the Blois family arrived in time, the local crisis caused by the arrival of the two high-level zombies had been resolved. As for the rescue, I have to be honest here - at least in terms of the overall situation, the success or failure here is indeed not enough to have a big impact.
Compared with this, the fact that Mr. Blois joined the Dutch war midway is a change that deserves more attention... Whether it is the human side or the zombie side, I am afraid this is the case.
For example, Madame Maxime, who has just rushed from Granger Camp to the northern border of Belgium, seems to think so. .
"...remember what I said when we came out today? Everyone else should stay in the car! It's enough for just the two of us. If there are more people, it will look too unfamiliar and polite. Remember, this time I just I went to meet Miss Blois as a 'friend'."
The exquisite rune-horse carriage came from the southwest sky and glided gently to land. The wheels were about to stop rolling, and Maxim himself opened the door and bent down to step out. And just as she had just warned again, except for the first secretary, there was no one else getting off the car behind her.
"Is it... Madame Maxime? Excuse me... What is the important matter for Madam to come to our temporary camp at the Blois family?"
It can only be said that he is worthy of being a member of the French Blois family. Even if he is just a camp guard, he can still ask questions and respond to Maxim without being humble or condescending when facing him.
"Madam is here to talk to Miss Blois about your family's invasion of living zombies—"
"Hey! I told you not to be so formal!"
The secretary witch was habitually trying to explain Mrs. Maxim's purpose to her, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by a gentle wave of Maxim's hand.
"Actually, it's like this... We just went to Cherbourg and met with Mr. Bill Weasley and others. It happened that we heard there that the head of the Blois family had returned from the disaster place in England. And as soon as I came back, I came here to meet my daughter, Miss Willy Blois... So, since it’s also on my way, I’ll just come over.”
"Oh, that's it." When the guard foreman heard this, he nodded immediately, leaned forward without disrespect, and said, "Yes, Mr. Patriarch has indeed been here before, but unfortunately, the Patriarch will soon Left again."
After all, the Blois family's march into the Netherlands did not go through with Beauxbatons or the International Federation of Wizards. It could only be regarded as a completely private operation. Therefore, he naturally had no reason to reveal the whereabouts of his master to The other party knows. Especially in this place very close to the front line, not only every move but also every word and deed needs to be cautious.
Of course, Maxim also understood this truth, so she didn’t ask any questions. She just thought about it and said:
"In this case... I wonder if we can wait here for your master to come back? You know, with the current war situation, we still have to find an opportunity to have a good talk."
Since the head of the Blois family did not stay at the border camp for too long, it indirectly means that the young lady from the Blois family is not here either. Although one could roughly guess that the other party must have continued northward into the Netherlands, and Mr. Blois must have chased him, Maxim had no intention of rashly taking the initiative to look for him again.
To be honest, a sudden visit here is considered a rather abrupt act.
At the same time, the guarding wizard on the opposite side paused for a moment after hearing the words, and then spoke again with some hesitation:
"Originally, the order given to us by Mr. Butler was that no one outside the family was allowed into the camp, but... After all, it's Mrs. Maxim, we can't let the current president of the Federation blow the cold wind outside the camp... Please wait a moment, I’ll ask someone to ask Mr. Beltrand, the consul who is temporarily in charge of camp affairs.”
"please!"
Maxim spread his hands, indicating that he could ask.
However, at the moment when the other party turned around to order her men, a sad look flashed across her face - from Madame Maxime's point of view, no matter in the past or now, the Blois family is actually very important to her. It's not really a help.
When he was the principal of Beauxbatons in France, the Blois family was the school's top investor.
Many people in the European wizarding world have heard about the huge donation made by Nico Flamel and his wife to their alma mater with a large amount of gold, and even greatly expanded the campus. However, everyone does not know that Beauxbatons was once a wartime fortress. Since the war, most of the annual expenses have been supported by the Blois family.
The seemingly astonishing personal donations of Mr. and Mrs. Nico LeMay are nothing compared to the investments they have made over the years.
However, what makes successive Beauxbatons principals feel fortunate is that although the entire school is almost equivalent to a private property of the Blois family, the Blois family has never meant to impose a director on the school. gave Beauxbatons considerable freedom.
At least it is not like Hogwarts in the UK. Even if Albus Dumbledore is as prestigious as Albus Dumbledore, many of his ideas and plans will be difficult to implement smoothly once they are questioned and opposed by the majority of the school board.
However, the feeling of being caught between power and reality is always not so wonderful, and Maxim knows this well.
Now, Maxim has half-forced and half-actively taken up the position of president of the International Federation of Wizards. Of course she was happy to fight behind the scenes to fight against the living corpses, but when she thought that there were still some forces secretly shackles behind the association, she felt a little frightened.
Because the Blois family still exists here.
To her, the largest family in France seemed like a huge shadow that was destined to be unavoidable no matter what. Especially in the current disaster, as someone who hopes to make the major forces make more changes, she will obviously have to face this huge family that she has always been unable to figure out sooner or later.
"In short, no matter what, if we want to win in this disaster, the bloated and egoistic power structure of the 'Wizard Family' should be banned... right?"
While Maxim stood quietly waiting for the guard to ask the camp leader, he said this to himself secretly. Unexpectedly, at the next moment, many figures suddenly appeared in the distant sky to the north, rushing here quickly.
"Madam, it's the team of the Blois family." The first secretary reminded her in a low voice.
