Chapter 1257: Something Strange in My Heart
“…… Go and ask all those families who have a deep foundation and can afford to collect valuable magical items. In particular, if there are ancestors in the family who have served as the Minister of Magic, or who have joined the Department of Mysteries, you can give priority to asking ......"
In the wing hall of Malfoy Manor, Maca was speaking to Lucius about his specific request.
In fact, he had been knocking on the door a few minutes earlier, and had waited for a while for no one to open it for him.
Of course, Maca and Malfoy are not polite these days. When he found that there were obviously people in the house, but there was no movement, he rushed in directly.
To tell the truth, Lucius and Narcissa were somewhat relieved when they saw that it was Maka. Because what they are most worried about now is actually being approached by the dark wizards under Helbo's hands - how terrible those dark wizards in the city of London are, they have already heard through some channels!
However, after Maca came to this side hall, she didn't give them much time to calm down at all, and just said hello casually. began to assign tasks to Lucius.
But...... Wrong!
Maca always felt that something strange was lingering in her heart, as if she hadn't noticed something...... Or maybe something got it wrong.
“…… By the way, don't forget that there is also a Cornelius Fudge - although his family does not have a long heritage, he himself is also the previous Minister of Magic, and it is worth asking. ”
As she spoke, Maca suddenly reminded as if she had thought of something:
However, Connelly was dead after all, and even his body was never found. When you go to his house to inquire, remember to be tactful. ”
After adding another sentence like this, he frowned slightly and said:
"Anyway, so be it...... As I said at the beginning, don't let go of any clues that might lead to a time turner! If you have anything in mind beyond the advice I just mentioned, you might as well try to look it up......"
"Finally, if something is difficult to do, or if you find a clue in the city of London, then you can send a letter to the Leaky Cauldron."
At this point, Maca had already finished saying all the words that should be explained, and then saw him wave his hand, and decisively turned and walked towards the door.
"Hey—"
Maca's stormy words made the Malfoys a little overwhelmed. Seeing that the other party was about to leave, Lucius hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him.
"What's wrong?" Maca turned her head slightly, "Did I say it too quickly and didn't understand?" Do you want me to say it again? ”
"Ahh No, no, no, we hear you clearly...... Lucius said, "it's just...... You know, it's so dangerous out there right now, I'm worried that with my little strength—"
The couple was originally worried about danger, so they always hid at home and didn't even dare to go out of the door. And even so, they are already thinking about whether to go abroad to avoid it.
It's just that Maca came to open his mouth in person, considering that he had given so many small favors to the Malfoy family in the past, they really didn't have the face to refuse.
On the other hand, hearing Lucius's question, Maca shook her head and said:
"Didn't I say it all? You don't need to go to London, just find families who live outside of London! At present, Helbo's energy is still concentrated in the city of London, and he obviously has no time to take care of other places. ”
As he spoke, he saw that Lucius still didn't seem to have much confidence, so he had to sigh and say:
"If you're really not at ease, let it follow you!"
As he said this, he saw Maka raise his hand slightly, and even a puff of silver-white light and mist gathered in his palm.
Then, a palm-sized, but substantial-looking Silver Eagle Patronus flew up from the mist, lightning across half of the room, and landed on Lucius's shoulder.
"Unless you run into Helbo directly, at least it's okay to get out." Having left Lucius with a guarantee, Maca didn't linger any longer, and turned to open the door to the side hall.
"It will probably take a lot of time to get to the Witt family in a moment, so I'll have to go—Lucius, if you can't feel at ease even then, then pray that I can find a working time-turner right there!"
This trip to Malfoy Manor, Maca can be said to have come suddenly and in a hurry. But as he walked out of the mansion and into the vestibule, he couldn't help but pause as soon as he was about to rush to London.
Yes, it was still the strange feeling that flashed in his heart just now, which made him involuntarily meditate again.
"I'm ...... What exactly is being overlooked? ”
……
The Werther family, a family of ancient wizards who arose through the study of magic.
Until the Middle Ages, wizarding families like the Werther family, which could truly be called a "magical family", were limited, but in general there were still quite a few.
But with the gradual intensification of a series of disputes after that, several successive large-scale wars have killed many ancient wizard families.
Until now, there are only a handful of ancient wizard families in various countries and regions that can survive, and most of the inheritance in the family has been left more or less like the Werther family.
However, the biggest headache for the old master of Werther now is the real ancient wizard "Hellbo the Despicable". It is precisely because their Werther family has a little long-standing relationship with Helmo that even if it is now a long time ago, it will not prevent Helmo from coming to their family to do things.
Just like in the past two days, the Werther family, who has been brought in by a bunch of people from Helpocy, seems to be able to endure silently.
There is no doubt that they are naturally not because their ancestors have been involved with Helbo, they are only because of Helbo's strength that they have to obey.
Moreover, the old owner of the Witt family was obviously quite unwilling - otherwise, he would not have hinted to his son, that is, Charlotte's father, to find a way to find Maka to secretly inform.
Now, in the master's study upstairs of the Werther mansion...... Well, to be honest, he's been waiting very anxiously.
With Helbo's men at home, he couldn't talk much to his son. So although Charlotte's father knew something about demon summoning, he obviously didn't know as much as his own father.
Therefore, what old Werther hopes most now is that Maca can come over sooner, so that he can tell the other party more details about what he knows.
Except for Helmo, he was probably the only one in the world who knew how terrible that demonic summoning technique really was—at least that's what old Werther himself thought.
But he didn't know that although Maca had finally embarked on the journey to his Witt family's mansion at this time, what she was doing was not a demonic summoning technique at all.
And he didn't even know that as for the great danger that could be caused by the completion of the demon summoning technique, Maca had already heard about it from the mouth of the "eldest daughter" who had come out of thin air.
"Whew-"
The old master glanced at the wizard who was sitting diagonally across from him, and then let out a long sigh of impatience. The book he had in his hand hadn't turned a page in a long time.
"Mr. Werther, is it too stuffy in this study? Also, a closed study like this is really not suitable for the elderly to stay for too long! ”
After hearing the old master's exhalation, the other party didn't forget to say a word of mockery, obviously not taking this old master of Werther seriously.
"Oh, yes...... If necessary, I think we could change to a room with a window – that would at least allow you to breathe in more, wouldn't it? ”
"Hmph."
Old Werther frowned and snorted coldly.
Seriously, if it were according to the temper of the old master when he was young, I am afraid that he would have rolled up his sleeves and waved his staff to duel.
But now, after all, he was so old - even if Dumbledore was still alive, he would be as old as him. Naturally, a man of his age understands the importance of being patient when it is time to be patient.
The wizard on the couch couldn't help but pout his lips a little boredly when he saw that Old Werther was not having a seizure, and then lowered his head again to flip through a magic book casually.
He is a wizard sent by Helbo to the Werther family to spy on the old master.
Werther Sr. has never fought against him, so he can't be sure of the specific strength of the other party. But according to his certain understanding of Helbo, he knew that since Helbo had sent such a guy to guard him, he must have relied on it.
As soon as he thought of this, the annoyance in Old Werther's heart became more and more intense.
Closing his eyes slightly, he forced himself to calm down a little more before he opened his eyes, intending to turn the pages patiently.
But at this moment, the old man's expression was slightly stagnant.
He saw that behind the couch where the annoying wizard was sitting, a figure had appeared there at some point. Right now, the man lowered his eyes slightly, and his gaze fell silently on the back of the watcher's head.
Old Werther was shocked in his heart, but he had lived so much, and he was stunned that he didn't show any abrupt expression. After only a second's pause, he lowered his head, ignoring the sudden appearance.
But in his heart, he was secretly relieved:
"This McKellen...... It's finally here. ”
That's right, standing behind the wizard at this moment is Maca, who has quickly rushed back to London. After entering the underground black market and quickly arriving at the Werther Mansion, knowing that there were Helbo's subordinates, he decisively chose to sneak in to find out the situation first.
And now, apparently, he has been touched all the way to old Werther's study.
