"Boom! Click, click, click—"
A carriage dragged by a Thestral just bumped into the open space in front of the camp for a moment, and then landed lightly. The wheels wrapped in iron sheets and riveted tightly rolled for a while as they were pulled, and soon stopped slowly. Come down.
And just behind and behind these dozen carriages, two teams of hippogriff knights and more flying escorts riding broomsticks also landed.
Even though the whole team seemed a bit mighty, from the air to the ground, the formation was actually neat and orderly without any chaos.
Oh, of course! A formation like this is definitely not something the Blois family is trying to show off - they move and fight almost all day long under the cloud where the Apparition Spell cannot be used, and even the only heir of the family is personally on the front line. Such a posture is naturally sparse. It's a normal thing.
Not to mention that most of the people here are family members, even Mrs. Maxim and her first secretary who came uninvited today did not find it strange at all when they saw this scene.
With the background of the Blois family, protecting wizards can only be regarded as a small scene. Many upstart mid-level forces in the magic world usually go beyond this!
"Click."
After the entire team landed and stopped, the door of the second carriage in the queue was gently opened, and the steps automatically extended from under the door. Immediately afterwards, the head of the Blois family, Willy, and the old housekeeper walked down one after another under the respectful guidance of a leading wizard.
"Madame Maxime?"
As soon as he got out of the car, the head of the Blois family, who came back with the team, saw the only two outsiders here - with Maxim's size, it was really difficult not to see them.
Blois paused briefly, and then nodded slightly at the other party with a questioning expression.
Although she is an "outsider", with Maxim's identity, it is obvious that no one in the Blois family will be unfamiliar with her. Many years ago when Maxim became the principal of Beauxbatons, Willy's father had already met her once, and it was in the former family residence - Chateau Blois.
However, if you want to say familiarity... in fact, the two of them are not very familiar with each other. After all, the Blois family, especially the main family, has kept a low profile over the years, and the opportunities for the two of them to actually meet are still somewhat rare.
"Mr. Mr. Blois, what a coincidence. I was asking your camp guard to let me in and sit and wait for a while! Unexpectedly, before the report was finished, Mr. had already returned."
"Well," Blois couldn't help but paused again after hearing the words, then walked up to him, waved back casually, and said, "If Madame Maxime has anything to do, just talk to the housekeeper directly. You guys We're relatively familiar. Well, I'm sorry... let's take you two in and talk slowly!"
The last words were obviously meant for the old butler, and after saying these words, he nodded again to Maxim and walked directly past and went inside.
To be honest, Mr. Blois's behavior was not to say disrespectful, but at least it was somewhat rude. But the content of what he said actually made sense.
At least he knew very well that Maxim and the old butler had founded the Resistance Alliance together with Hermione, and he also immediately guessed Maxim's purpose this time. Since he no longer wanted to get involved in too many external affairs, leaving it to the old housekeeper to reconcile with Xini was naturally the most appropriate choice.
At least that would definitely be much more lenient than if he personally refused the invitation that the other party was about to send out later.
"I'm sorry, madam! The head of the family has been personally involved in danger in the UK during this period. He just came back recently, but he immediately rushed to the front line to deal with a big trouble. It was just when he needed to rest... Please! Anyway, what can I do? , let’s go sit down and talk in the camp first!”
Experienced people like Mr. Blois and the old housekeeper can naturally more or less guess the specific reason for Madame Maxime's sudden visit at this critical juncture. As for the current internal and external situation on the European continent, it can be said that there are turbulent undercurrents under the surface order that is only barely maintained. As the new president of the Federation, Maxim, who is still somewhat alone, will naturally hope to win over all parties as soon as possible. The talents and power can be attracted, so that more things can be done when disaster strikes.
Unfortunately, Blois and the old housekeeper actually saw things more clearly than she did.
Mr. Blois, in particular, has experienced so many difficult battles in Britain, and he already has a very deep understanding of the nature of this disaster. If mankind's enemies were only living corpses, gathering together most of the wizarding and Muggle forces might be able to compete with each other and find the possibility of victory.
However, most people are still unaware that the real enemies of mankind today are a group of real demons!
At this time, what the human side needs is not a large number of "sending the dead" who are willing to sacrifice, but an elite force that can confront those demons and Haierbo head-on - this is talking about Harry who is still fighting in the UK. , Hermione and others.
As for the rear... all the forces have to do may be to maintain stability as much as possible, at least not to drag down Harry and the others who are fighting bravely at the forefront of the first battlefield.
Didn’t you see that Blois has returned? He came back this time not only for Willie, but also to keep an eye on the second battlefield in Germany and the southern Netherlands.
Of course, Mrs. Maxim must not fully understand this truth at this time. She is even considering connecting the major forces and uniting everyone to launch a counterattack against the enemy!
However, when she realized from the situation just now that the head of the Blois family obviously didn't want to say anything to her today, she hesitated for a moment, her eyes passed by the old housekeeper, and she subconsciously turned to look at Willy who was not far away. .
Meeting Mr. Blois today was just an accident with no surprises, and Maxim's original target was originally Willie, who had recently been acting on behalf of the family head's rights and obligations.
"Miss Blois... Oh, it is said that you were with Mr. MacLean for a while in the UK before. I wonder what the situation is like with him there? You should know that Mr. MacLean and I are also old friends. Recently, he There has been no news from the outside world, which is a bit worrying after all!”
On the way here beforehand, Maxim had been emphasizing that the meeting should be based on a friend's identity. Although she had just unexpectedly met the head of the Blois family, it seemed that she still planned to do so at this moment.
Unfortunately, Willy has never been very fond of this kind of thing.
