Chapter 9: The Daily Life of the Wizardsβ€”The Banquet (Part II)

"My first impression of the UK – it was terrible! But in order to shoot the banquet of the wizard nobles, someone has to sacrifice it...... For example, the one I wear now is the usual costume of wizards, wizard robes...... You can take a closer look, the gold and silver edges, and the family crest......"

Danny is alone in the changing room, talking to himself at first glance.

In reality, however, he's talking to a pinhole camera in the shape of a fountain pen (supposedly the latest masterpiece of the CIA R&D, waterproof and drop-proof, with a lifetime warranty β€” provided you can find the tech nerds who are secretly protected by the government).

In fact, this kind of video can be dubbed afterwards, but sometimes, Daniel can't restrain his desire to complain and break his thoughts.

Anyway, there is no one around now, and even if there are people, they will only think that he is talking to himself, and they don't know what he is doing.

He was not a discreet agent, and he hated life of disguise and restraint. That's why he hated the task in the first place.

So, he simply said to himself in the locker room.

Including the irony of 'Narcissa's helpless and disgusted eyes' and Lucius's insinuation that 'I remember that the Black family's crest had always been a majestic demon dog, when did it become a gentle and harmless VIP in the Muggle world'.

"Come on, Malfoy's crest isn't a peacock either!" Daniel only dared to respond like this behind his back.

Then, Daniel, who was 'under the roof', heeded his cousin's 'kindness'.

He pulled at his black wizard's robe, which Narcissa had prepared for him, awkwardly.

Leave Narcissa on the verge of collapse when she sees his jeans and white T-shirt and backpack.

At first glance, this set of wizard's robes is plain black, but the cuffs and the edges of the robe are edged with fine gold threads, which is very luxurious.

Especially the detailed design, the waist and shoulders are extremely conformable, and the lining is very straight.

This is not one of those ordinary wizard robes that are uniformly ordered, and at first glance they look the same, but in fact they are loose and unfitted.

Experienced aristocrats can easily distinguish between nobles and commoners with a single wizard's robe.

On the wizard's robe there is also the black family crest of the Black family, with a mountain between the two stars as the main body, a sword as the foundation, and two magical dogs in a leaping shape on both sides.

I don't know what material Narcissa used to make this family crest with magic patterns.

The pattern is not visible when standing still, but when it is moving, it comes to life. Especially the two dogs on both sides of the sword, with the flying of the wizard's robes, opened their mouths majestically, faintly revealing a mouthful of fangs.

"This family crest is said to be the ancestral heirloom of my family...... To be honest, I don't really like dogs, I don't feel very imposing, and I heard that the symbol of Gryffindor is the lion, so that must be cool...... However, there is no way, the family crest is passed down from generation to generation by Blake's ancestors, and it should be buried in the ground, a tradition, a tradition......"

He put away the negative feelings that he had vented enough, playfully raised his eyebrows in front of the camera, and grinned a row of small white teeth with a bright smile.

Many girls in the United States just love his heartless and sunny smile, and they think that "Wizard Blake" is simply the most heartwarming of all reality TV stars.

Daniel was complacent.

Moreover, he has no hidden consciousness at all, and has been committed to introducing the 'great' wizarding family, Blake, to the audience.

It's just that most American viewers think it's just a family of magicians who 'like to call themselves wizards'.

Now, we can imagine:

If one day, Narcissa knew that after Daniel's unremitting 'promotion', the Blake family had become well-known and well-known in the United States, I wonder if she would be happy or angry?

Leave that to the moment.

When Daniel calmly recorded another video of the 'Wizard's Family Changing Room Interior', he stepped out of the house amid the voice of the house-elf's voice of 'Narcissa Master urges you to hurry'.

All the nobles of your wizarding world are black households in England.

- Mycroft Holmes

So, the question arises:

In the British wizarding world, how many black households (nobles) are there?

To this day, population access has been a major problem.

In order to save Mycroft's anxious and receding hairline, in addition to his own documentary project, Daniel decided to dutifully (by the way) investigate these nobles in the wizarding world.

After introducing her cousin, the only one in the Black family who is barely a direct heir, Narcissa left him to Lucius and ran to talk to a group of noble ladies.

As for Lucius, he was very dutiful in introducing everyone to his wife's cousin.

"This is John Pusse, the director of the Department of Magical Communications, and by the way, his son is two or three years older than Xiaolong."

He held up the goblet and introduced casually, but without revealing a trace, "The one with the pipe over there is Stephen Bleitch, the director of the International Magical Law Office, and his son is also two or three years older than Xiaolong; In addition, the long, stocky, fat-chin guy was called Abt Boss, a minor nobleman, he was a deputy captain in the magic law enforcement police force, and his daughter was the same age as the little dragon, but it would be a great tragedy if his daughter followed him......"

"Uh...... My dear brother-in-law, why do you introduce everyone and associate them with your son? Daniel asked, stunned.

At that moment, Lucius, who had investigated all the nobles and tried to find a playmate for his son, was not quite right, his expression was a little cold.

He looked at the only Blake family heir who was barely a direct heir with a mixed expression of pity and annoyance, "Watch your way you speak, Daniel. I'm glad you live in the United States and not at Hogwarts in England, otherwise I'd probably see another 'Sirius'. ”

"Don't mention Sirius to me." Daniel frowned in annoyance, "My father gave him all his possessions, and then he took those possessions with him to the prison in Azkaban. ”

"This...... Lucius said slowly, "Sissi feels about the same as you...... A word of advice to you, if you don't want her to hate you, I think you need to hurry up and make more useful 'friends' and try your best to reunite the Black family. ”

"Am I just going to go over it?"

Daniel was a little frightened and tried to hide behind Lucius, feeling that it was much more comfortable to stand on the stage and perform magic tricks than to say something inexplicable to these nobles.

"Go!" Lucius gave him a stern glance, then cruelly turned away from him, leaving him alone in the middle of the banquet surrounded by wolves.

"Well, isn't it just a pick-up? I can do it, I can do it, I can do it! Think about it, it's the British government standing behind me!" Daniel blinked as he thought in pieces, looking around the scene, "Now, the first target, who to choose?" ”

Lucius, who had already joined his wife, seemed to be chatting casually with the people around him, and at the same time whispered to his wife: "Sissi, I'll just throw him away, is it really okay?" I always thought, you wish I could help him a little more? ”

Narcissa raised her glass to everyone, a formulaic official smile on her face.

At the same time, she replied in a very low voice: "No, Lucius, the future of the Black family must always be created by the people of the Black family, and relying on you is not a long-term solution." Moreover, I always have to test this 'strange' cousin to see what he can do and whether he can achieve my wishes. Then, let's talk about helping. Moreover, the young lady of the Black family can do anything for the sake of the family, but Mrs. Malfoy cannot. Do you know my heart, my dear? ”

Mrs. Malfoy, who said this, smiled tenderly at her husband.

"Of course, dear, I've always understood you." Lucius confessed his sincerity in a playful manner, and then, bowing his head, kissed his wife lightly on the face, and sighed, "Sissi, I haven't seen you smart (shrewd) for a long time, I really miss it." ”

Narcissa gave him a roll of the eye.
