In the Beauxbatons auditorium, a discussion on inheritance distribution began just after lunch, with participants vying to speak. However, this meeting started a little faster than expected, but it ended just as quickly.
The entire meeting only took about two or three hours from beginning to end, and Mrs. Maxim had to temporarily stop it and explained that the follow-up meeting would start again soon.
There is no way, those many forces all have their own reasons, and while they express their own opinions, there will be some minor frictions from time to time. If no one stopped him, he would have to have a wizard duel on the spot.
Of course, it's not certain whether there will really be a fight - the group of guys who are constantly arguing may seem reckless, but in fact they are all smart people. How can there really be a fight
But to be honest, if no one has an overwhelming power advantage, it is absolutely impossible for a meeting like this to reach a result that everyone accepts.
At this moment, Maka, who had just finished the meeting, was walking on the path in the garden. He breathed the fresh floral air and admired the colorful flowers around him, and couldn't help but feel comfortable for a while.
"Sir, why didn't you speak just now?" Fanny, who was following him, asked, "Is it because you knew that today would be like this?"
"No, how could I have expected that it would be so noisy in the auditorium before?" Maka explained, "I just understand that such a world-class inheritance distribution will definitely not happen in a day or two. A conclusion can be drawn. Today is just the beginning... "
He said, paused for a moment, then spread his hands again and continued:
"And you see, Madam Maxim once again mentioned the alchemy competition. She probably wants those families and various other forces to gradually get used to this proposal, so that she can formally propose a plan to allocate the competition in the future. They just need to be mentally prepared when they come out."
"So...are you planning to take over the venue rights for the event to gain more dominance?" Fanny said thoughtfully, "Well, Nico Flamel's alchemical legacy...think about it It’s indeed very tempting…”
"Well, there may be a method for refining the magic stone in the inheritance... Who knows!" Maka shrugged, "But whether it exists or not, everyone has to treat it as 'there' Things. Otherwise, if you miss it, you will regret it."
"The elixir of life...?" Fanny pursed her lips and sighed with some regret, "I don't know if it is really 'immortal'... Then when Mr. Nico Flamel made it, What age are you?"
Fanny seems to care more about the effect of "immortality" than "immortality". In this regard, Maka couldn't help but shake her head secretly - even this beauty and workaholic will still inevitably worry about appearance and youth!
"You can ask the old housekeeper later," Maka said with a smile, "If you can't find a chance, I can also find time to ask for you... But as for the magic stone, I don't actually know anything about it. Others are so eager to get it. In fact, this time I am only here for the venue rights. As for the 'dominant force' you mentioned, I don't have that much interest in it."
The more he studied magic, the more he understood the wonder of life. Between life and death, there are great mysteries hidden, and death may be a door that leads wizards to explore more fundamental magic. This was something Dumbledore conveyed to Maka through an opportunity to watch.
That world is what all enlightened wizards yearn for, so much so that Grindelwald tried to follow it, even at the cost of inflicting extremely terrible disasters.
It is precisely because of this that Maka knew in advance another direction that he could reach in the future.
But, as most people have experienced, death is always scary. Even if you may not be afraid, you will still hesitate at the foot of death because of your nostalgia for this world.
Therefore, everyone wants to obtain a magic stone like Nico Flamel, so that their lives can continue as if without limit.
Of course Maka hasn't lived enough yet, but there is still a lot of life that belongs to him that he has not spent yet! Now, he is not so enthusiastic about a magic stone, because he wants to be like Dumbledore and try to cross the boundary called death himself.
Look at Nico Flamel and his wife, didn’t they choose to give up eternal life in the end? Although no one knows the truth about why they made such a decision, it is a fact that the Flamel couple took the initiative to die - this was what Dumbledore said himself back then.
Living things die as soon as they are born, and Maka can't quite explain why, but in the end it seems to be the most correct thing to face death head-on.
Therefore, whether the method of making the magic stone can be obtained in the end, let it take its course!
Fanny felt quite incredible about Maka's thoughts. Let me ask, who would care nothing about immortality and wealth
But this is Maka's business after all, and what he decides is naturally up to him.
Fanny just thought about it and put this matter aside for the time being. Because she suddenly remembered another question in her mind, it was a good time to ask while the two were walking in the garden.
"Mr. MacLean, I heard... you and Miss were classmates at Hogwarts, right?"
"Yes what's the matter?"
Maka couldn't help but be a little confused after hearing this. She didn't know why she suddenly asked this.
"Then... what do you think of Miss..." Fanny said, but paused for a moment, "No, I mean... what do you think of Willy? What do you think of her?"
"Uh...how about what?"
Maka suddenly felt a little strange. If this kind of question came from Mr. Blois, there would be nothing surprising. After all, she was his precious daughter. But if it was Fanny who asked the question, it would seem a bit sudden.
He still remembered that when Mr. Blois introduced Fanny to him, he mentioned that this young female steward seemed to have left the family a long time ago and went out to develop. The relationship between her and Willy is probably not close enough to ask about these things, right
This Fanny is extremely serious at work, even a bit rigid, and does not seem like an abrupt character.
"Sorry, Mr. MacLean." Fanny hesitated again, and then said softly, "I know it's a bit sudden to ask this, but I still want to trouble you to tell you... The head of the family has always been worried about Willy's future. I don’t know if I can find someone to entrust my life to.”
"Did Mr. Blois ask you to ask that?" Maka glanced at her and asked hesitantly.
"No, it's not like that..." Fanny immediately shook her head and said, "This is not part of my mission this time, it is a question of my own. In fact, many people in the family are worried about this. Willy has been worried about this since she was a child. She doesn't like to talk, she doesn't even have a friend, and she can't even smile... There are always rumors in the family that Willy was given some kind of black magic... "
Maka had heard Willy mention some things in the past. It seemed that this bloodline curse was not suitable to be explained to others, so very few people knew the actual situation. Unexpectedly, there were just some strange rumors within the Blois family.
"Well... It's a pity that I am Willy's friend, but it's just a friend." Maka stopped and said seriously, "There has never been the possibility between me and her as you imagined. "
"Really?" Fanny pursed her lips and sighed vaguely, "If that's the case, there's nothing we can do about it. It's just a pity... I hugged Willy a few times when she was a child! At that time, I was still thinking, Finally there is a girl younger than me at home..."
Her feelings for Willy are probably the same as those she feels towards her own sister. A sister who is delicate and beautiful but is burdened with many regrets will always make her, a sister, feel pity for her.
What's rare is that many years after she left Chateau Blois, she still thinks about her sister Willie.
"Actually, Mr. Blois has asked me to try to solve Willie's trouble this time," Maka comforted, "I will do my best for this. Will Willie become a normal girl? , I think it’s worth looking forward to.”
"Solve it?" Fanny asked quickly, "Mr. MacLean, do you know the reason why Willie became like that?"
Maka did not answer her question casually.
"Actually, Mr. Blois also knows that, doesn't he?" he said, "He asked me to solve this matter first. If you want to know the specific situation, I think it is better for you to ask him... I don't He is qualified to reveal it on his behalf.”
"Master...?" Fanny was stunned, "Okay... Then, I won't ask any more questions. Thank you for explaining this to me, Mr. McLean."
Seeing that she saluted towards him and seemed to be changing back to working mode, Maka immediately waved her hand.
"I'm serious, you don't have to be so reserved here! If possible, I still hope you can be more casual. This will be a kind of relaxation for both of us."
"No, how can this be done-" Fanny said seriously, "For me, this is work, a task given by the family."
Seeing her insistent look, Maka could only sigh secretly.
He said nothing more, raised his legs and continued walking forward. In the distance, he caught a glimpse of a striking silhouette, which was obviously the fat young master of the Hohenheim family. Just looking at his panicked look, it seemed like something interesting had happened again.
