There is a very interesting proverb in the Egyptian magic world that goes like this:
“The Greek Sphinx didn’t make up riddles about the pyramids.”
Sphinxes are also extremely intelligent and naturally fond of riddles. Because of their different habitats, they each have their own ideas and habits, and there may even be many inexplicable resentments between them.
If you think about it carefully, is this sentence also appropriate in Europe today
Also faced with the pressure of disaster, all parties will make their own choices and take actions just because of subtle differences in their respective positions.
Apart from other things, at this moment, it is obvious that Madame Maxime and the Blois family have different plans. Even if both sides are working for current stability and future peace, what they should do now and what they should do in the future have different priorities.
For Maxim, uniting all the forces that can be united and resisting the whole people will be the only choice to finally defeat the disaster. However, in the view of the Blois family, this approach may be no less than pushing ordinary people to death in vain. Even if it is really possible to succeed, the civilians will surely bear the maximum degree of pain on their behalf.
The head of the Blois family thought so, so he had no intention of talking to Mrs. Maxim and simply walked away. And now it seems that Willy probably has the same idea as her father.
"Madam, if you have any questions, tell me the same thing. If it is indeed feasible, I will definitely convey your words to the lady in full, and try my best to promote cooperation between you and me."
In the tent with gorgeous interiors, the old butler accompanied Maxim and sat at the long table, with the usual warm smile on his face. And what he said sounded sincere, as if he was trying his best to convey his cooperation to the other party.
However, although Maxim was also smiling, his smile seemed a little absent-minded. Because she knew very well that the shrewd old housekeeper in front of her was just using some pleasant-sounding words to prevaricate - you could never hear the rejection in his heart, but the facts had already been put on the table.
Didn’t you see that the secretaries beside you started to yawn secretly? This conversation, which lacked one of the protagonists, was destined to have the most boring ending from the moment it entered the camp.
Yes, even Willy had no interest in talking to Mrs. Maxim just now. She wasn't used to talking nonsense with others, so she didn't even let the latter finish what she was saying. She just gave him a slight bow and left alone.
It's a pity that Mr. Blois and Mr. Blois have the confidence to leave her aside, and Willy doesn't care at all about these human sophistications that she thinks are completely unnecessary. However, for Maxim, he definitely cannot fall out with the Blois family - at least not now, and in the future... he can only watch it again.
As a result, Maxim's visit became what it is now.
"Oh, by the way, madam, would you like to have a cup of afternoon tea? Although this is just a temporary camp near the front line, there is no shortage of tea and snacks. The lady has become accustomed to the feeling of drinking tea and relaxing during her years in the UK - she I didn't like this before, so I never forget to bring enough stock wherever I go... Well, actually, even I have gradually started to like it... What is it called? Gordig root tea? I don't know. Who is researching this strange tea drink, and it tastes so good..."
The old butler ran further and further as he talked, talking about the ingredients and cooking methods of Gordig root tea to the cultivation and planting of Yinhao tea trees. By the end, even if he was just being polite, Maxim could no longer do it, and the smile on his face became visibly stiffer and stiffer.
Finally, after finally waiting for a pause in the old housekeeper's words, she hurriedly found an excuse to get up and say goodbye, and left the camp with the first secretary who was almost asleep.
But Maxim didn't know that as soon as she left, Mr. Blois walked out of the innermost part of the tent and sat casually on the sofa on one side.
"The head of the family."
The old housekeeper saw him off when he came back, and couldn't help but pause lightly in his footsteps. After hesitating for a moment, he sighed slightly and said:
"To be honest, I still feel a little sorry for Madame Maxime!"
"Well," Blois, who was flipping through a magic book, nodded slightly when he heard this, "After all, she is also for the overall situation. Unfortunately, it is only her overall situation, not ours... But it's no wonder, even if I only came to understand it after I went to the UK in person... That way of doing things requires paying too much, but it is very likely that you will get nothing... It's not worth it!"
After the words fell, there was a moment of silence, and then the old housekeeper smiled and said:
"The thoughts of the head of the family and the young lady are my thoughts."
…
The news of the return of the head of the Blois family quickly spread among many forces in Europe, and the Blois family will continue their combat plan in the southern Netherlands. With this news, it also flowed into the ears of various forces. .
This is obviously not bad news, especially for the German Brandt family, which is currently trying its best to resist the invasion of zombies. The Blois family's stable offensive will continue to take a lot of pressure off them.
So this is not bad for the International Federation of Wizards currently headed by Maxim - it's just that Maxim's attempt to persuade them to cooperate failed, thus not forming the most ideal situation.
But having said that, the two battlefields in Germany and the Netherlands are just the second battlefield anyway. The first battlefield that truly has a decisive impact on future changes in the situation is still in the UK.
And until now, when the vast majority of people in the world still do not know enough about the nature of this disaster, an extremely powerful demon has "fallen".
"If the price we pay is just my two legs... wouldn't this be a great deal?"
Facing his companions who looked gloomy, Ron seemed very calm. Even if he was just pretending to be calm, to be fair, what he said was correct.
If possible, Hermione and the others are also willing to use their legs to exchange for more demons to be eliminated, even if the price is their own lives, it is also worthy of consideration.
But unfortunately, defeating the devil is not such a simple thing. Although "Wrath" has strong fighting ability, its intelligence is not very high. The battle they will face next will only be more difficult than this time.
"It's just," suddenly, Ron still sighed, "I will definitely not go home before this disaster is really over... I don't know how to see my mother."
