Chapter 648: Armand Malfoy
Early in the morning on William's flagship, William sat on the boat with a navy blue blanket with brown fur trim over his head, but he didn't seem to be sleeping very comfortably with a frown.
"Your Majesty. One of his men cautiously woke him up, not only because he was dealing with a ruthless king, but because their helmsman might have made a great mistake, though the poor helmsman was still at a loss to understand why he was in such a state of affairs as he had been—in fact, no one could explain what had happened.
William lifted the blanket from his head, stood up and looked around for a while, his face bewildered and frightened, and he opened his mouth in surprise. You know, he had been trapped in his territory for two months, and now he was finally out to sea, but he never dreamed that he would find himself in such a situation as the lone ship he was in on the vast sea.
He stood up and looked around, looking for his fleet: "Where are they?"
"Your Majesty, in the wee hours of the morning, all of a sudden, there was a thick fog, which, you know, is very common around England. Although there is no way to see the surrounding scene clearly, we can still see the shadows of our fleet and their voices, we thought that when the fog cleared, we could get in touch with the other fleets and regroup, after all, in the dense fog, we did not dare to set sail at will, but we did not expect that when the fog cleared, the fleets that should have been around just now were all gone, and only one of us was left. Your Majesty ......" Before the words behind the guard could be spoken, William raised his hand and stopped him.
"You, go and have a look at the mast. William ordered quietly. In fact, he knew in his heart that even if he did this, it would be difficult to find a trace of the fleet, after all, everywhere he could see, there was all the blue water, and there was no shadow of the ship at all. Apparently, their own flagship drifted away from the fleet in the strait.
The guard walked back from the mast with a dejected expression, and William could see that he had found nothing without asking. But he pretended to be unmoved and enjoyed a breakfast accompanied by wine, but his heart was worried and he didn't know how to eat. He had invested a great deal of time and money in the year to assemble his expeditionary fleet, and now the fleet was gone, and in the face of delayed military planes and dangerous storms, William took a huge risk to sail in the vagaries of autumn winds and low visibility, even if he lost a part of the ship, he could accept it, but now, except for the one he was on, all the other ships had disappeared without a trace!
Pushing the empty plate in front of him forward, William, who had had eaten breakfast, stood up and walked to the fence next to the boat, holding the railing with both hands and looking out to sea, his heart full of worry and anxiety.
"You don't have to be in such a hurry. A voice suddenly appeared from behind him, and William jerked to look behind him, only to see a strangely dressed boy step out of the shadows of the ship, holding a staff with a beast skull never seen before.
William's heart suddenly rose to the extreme, the person in front of him was by no means a good person, and he must be a wizard who could suddenly appear on his ship.
He immediately called out to his men around him, shouting, "Catch him!" at the same time, his hand gripping the handle of the sword at his waist vigilantly.
However, his men around him did not seem to hear his cries, nor could they see their situation, as if nothing strange had happened on the ship, and they were still going about their work, and William was so frightened that he immediately pinched his cross and shouted: "Come over to Lao Tzu!"
"You don't have to be so alarmed, I have no ill will towards you. Alan smiled comfortingly, but his smile seemed to pierce the other party's nerves, and the vigilant William rubbed the ground as Alan approached, pulled out his knight's long sword from his waist and pointed it at Allen.
William forced himself to calm down and defeat the evil wizard in front of him, after all, he was also a knight who had been practicing martial arts for many years......
Suddenly, the hilt of the sword was still in William's hand, but the blade turned into a long giant python with iron snake scales, and it turned around and quickly wound William, tying him firmly to a chair, no matter how much he struggled, he could not break free.
William, who had never seen such a strange situation, kept praying in his heart for the god he believed in. At the same time, he tried again to give a loud order to his subordinates, trying to wake them up: "Hurry up and arrest him, give Lao Tzu arrest him." But no matter how much William ordered and threatened, the men around him remained unmoved.
At this moment, as the phantom shifting caused black smoke, a middle-aged wizard with light blond hair appeared out of thin air, and he realized as soon as he saw the scene in front of him after teleporting, "Bold boy, don't you know that Lord William is supported by our Malfoy family?
As he spoke, Armand Malfoy raised his staff at Allen, but then his staff automatically took off his hand and levitated in the air, burning from the tip of his wand in front of him, and finally turning to ashes— This made the Malfoy, who wanted to show his hand in front of the Muggle Duke and deliberately say some spectacles, and then teach the boy in front of him a lesson, just like his offspring, his expression was as frightened as Draco when he saw Voldemort in his first year, he screamed and ran backwards, only to realize that he was staying on the ship now, and he couldn't do it without a wand, so after thinking about all this, this Malfoy directly let himself kneel to show his submission......
Alan looked at the Malfoy ancestor in front of him with interest, the reason why William did not summon a wizard to appear during the previous storm was because William thought it was just a natural disaster, and he did not want to expose the fact that he was a devout believer in front of the world and actually had a wizard - although in fact, William had privately asked his wizards for advice when he was trapped in the north wind of the English Channel, but it was obvious that a wizard who could control the weather on a large scale like Allen was not something William could afford to raise.
Information about the Malfoy family flashed through Alan's mind - the Malfoy surname originated in old French and means "word but not faith". Like many ancestors of English pure-blood families, the wizard Armand Malfoy followed William, Duke of Normandy, to Britain as part of the Norman army that invaded England.
The Malfoys had been using magic to deal with some of William's hidden grey issues, and as a result, they were given the Golden Land in Wiltshire, which had been plundered from the original Anglo-Saxons after their victory.
The descendants of the Malfoy family have lived there for ten centuries.
The cunning ancestor Armand in front of him encapsulates many of the Malfoys' traits, as their not-for-all surnames suggest, the Malfoys have a reputation for cunning and draw on power and wealth everywhere. Although they embraced pure-blood theories and firmly believed that wizards were superior to Muggles, they would curry favor with Muggles whenever profit drove them. In doing so, they became one of the richest wizarding families in Britain, and for many years in Allen's day, there had been rumors that the Malfoys had successfully ventured into the realm of Muggle currency and assets.
In the days that followed, they expanded themselves by annexing nearby Muggle lands, and collected more and more Muggle treasure and art through the Muggle royal family. The Malfoys had a clear line between poor Muggles and the powerful. Until the implementation of the International Secrecy Act in 1692, the Malfoys were active in the upper Muggle society, and it is said that their strong opposition to secrecy was partly due to the fact that they had to leave this pleasant social life. Although Malfoy's descendants vehemently denied it, there is ample evidence that Malfoy, the first named Lucius, pursued Elizabeth I but was thwarted, and some historians assert that the queen's subsequent refusal to marry was due to Malfoy's curse. For nearly a decade, the Malfoy family has lived by a code of conduct that protects oneself. As soon as the International Secrecy Act was enacted, the Malfoys ended their dealings with noble Muggles, knowing that continued opposition and protest would only keep them away from the new core of power, the newly rising Ministry of Magic. Their attitude changed 180 degrees, and they were as vocal in support of secrecy as those who had supported secrecy in the first place, and quickly dissociated themselves from their dealings with Muggles, and even their previous marriages.
William watched silently as the most powerful of the wizards he secretly raised was powerless in front of this young wizard, although he didn't know why the other party was stunned and didn't follow up, but he finally understood that he was really planted this time.
"Now, can you listen to me quietly? I suggest you don't move. With Allen's teasing, the python head that the sword had turned into opened its mouth wide and approached William's face.
"If you don't want to die in this sea like the soldiers before you......" Alan tilted his head, "yes, I created and controlled the storm you encountered before. ”
