Chapter 2051: Hypocritical Goodwill
"Mr. Ionescu, Ms. Dumitru, and all of you in the Brandt family, these are very tense times, as I am sure you all know. Because of this, Beauxbatons, as one of the few magic schools in Europe that still insists on teaching, must do my best to maintain the safety of the campus - although it is currently in a short period of suspension and vacation, there is still no relaxation in the inspection of people entering and leaving, and I ask for your understanding and cooperation. ”
Following Madame Maxim's instructions, the administrator summoned several professors to the school gate. Of course, even if he didn't inform him, everyone would have already seen the union mark issued by Ionescu earlier.
However, even if Madame Maxim had asked for it, it was unlikely that they, the Beauxbatons professors, would actually prevent these people from entering the school.
In particular, Ionescu and Dumitru, two people from the International Federation of Wizards, obviously came here for a very valid reason. If it is too deliberately blocked, it will appear that Beauxbatons is even more weak-minded.
Of course, the most important thing is that these professors who came in a hurry still didn't know much about the situation in the side hall, that is, they just listened to the administrator explain a few words on the way.
In fact, even the Administrator didn't fully understand what was going on on Madame Maxim's side.
"This professor," said the Witch Ionescu, who was still a member of the Federation, "it is natural to cooperate with the inspection, it is a reasonable request of your school, and even if we have the Federation on official business, it is indeed for the sake of safety. But...... Actually, we don't have to get into your school, we just need-"
Speaking of this, he suddenly turned his head slightly and said to the head of the Brandt family not far away:
"Well, let's talk about this matter, Mr. Brandt!"
"Willing to help."
The head of the Brandt family, that is, the majestic male wizard standing in the middle of the crowd, nodded slightly when he heard this, and seemed to be a little reserved, but still a little domineering:
"It's a very simple thing—my cousin's daughter, Ida Brandt, came to visit this morning because of some business between my family and your school's headmaster, Madame Olim Maxim. However, not long after she left, I heard some rumors from the mouths of my family's subordinates. ”
"It is said that Madame Maxim has secretly colluded with the ancient dark wizard Helmo the despicable Helpo. For example, in the previous defensive battle of Weymouth, which caused heavy losses on our side of the alliance, it was because she did not notify the head of the Blois family in time to send maximum support, that the Weymouth defense line completely collapsed, and even Percy Weasley, the excellent and brave leader of the younger generation, was killed in the battle. ”
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but spread his hands and changed his words:
"And not only that, but I've heard about ...... Madame Maxim is even assisting Nahelpo in transforming more living people into living corpses through black magic and covertly! ”
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
One of the Beauxbatons professors finally couldn't help but ask, and asked aloud. Unexpectedly, the head of the Brandt family shrugged his shoulders and even smiled at him.
"Of course I can't believe it!" Brandt waved his hand and said, "After all, rumors are just rumors, without any real basis, how can we casually suspect Madame Maxim, one of the founders of the Resistance Alliance?" You know, the object of this rebellion alliance's 'resistance' is the despicable Helbo! ”
"Then you're—"
The professor, who was very loyal to Maxim, was about to ask a rhetorical question, but was interrupted by Brandt shaking his head:
"Don't worry, please listen to me...... To be honest, I waited for this time, naturally because my cousin, who couldn't hold his breath, was really worried about his daughter's safety. Looking at the age of the professors, compared to everyone who has children, they should understand the feelings of being a parent very well. I heard rumors that Madame Maxim was secretly imprisoning living people and turning them into living corpses, and today Ida was here alone to interview Madame Maxim, so it is understandable that as a father would be worried about this. ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Dürer Brandt, the maiden's father, at his side, and then turned his head and continued:
"I won't say anything else except that I don't blame him for being so abrupt just now. Because the most important reason for me to come here this time is another reason - for the sake of the two rumors just mentioned, I specially invited Mr. Ionescu and Ms. Dumitru of the International Federation of Wizards, and with the two of them to witness, I am bound to completely clear up this irresponsible rumor, and return Madame Maxim to a clear name! ”
In the end, he was still a little solemn and serious:
"This is a great time to fight against the ancient dark wizard Helbo, and the sooner you eliminate this kind of thing, the better! Once it is expanded, the consequences will be unimaginable, and it will completely disrupt the pace of our rebellion, you say...... Isn't it? ”
The words fell slightly, and several Beauxbatons professors present couldn't help but be silent - because the Brandt family's old style of acting had already been laid out in front of them, even if he said it in an orderly manner, and even seemed to imply a layer of "kindness", all of them felt that something must be wrong.
Especially...... Listening to the Administrator's brief explanation, it seems that there is something terrible going on on Madame Maxim's side. Here, there was a strong atmosphere of conspiracy all of a sudden.
However, what the head of the Brandt family said just now is indeed difficult to refute.
"Professors, what's wrong?" Brandt frowned slightly, and then said, "Well, anyway...... It doesn't matter if we get in or not, so let's call out Madame Maxim and my niece Ida first! Especially Ida's child, my brother can't wait. ”
As soon as they finished speaking, the professors couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the administrator behind them, but after seeing that the other party was stunned for a moment, they quickly frowned and shook their heads.
The first person to see Ida Brandt today was him, the administrator, who of course recognized him. And just now in the side hall...... Even if he only glanced at it from a distance, he had already recognized the figure lying in a pool of blood.
Call out both Madame and Ida? No kidding!
"No...... Could it be that Madame Maxime is really—"
The Administrator's heart shuddered, and then he shook his head again, tossing some of the terrible thoughts out of his head, not daring to continue thinking about it.
All in all, Beauxbatons today ...... I'm afraid I'm going to get into a big trouble!
