Chapter 216: Who is the Wicked Man?
Between pure-blood wizard families, there will actually be a big gap because of the difference in heritage and family motto. Compared with the Divine Twenty-Eight Clans, as a wizard family that has survived from ancient times, the Witt family's mansion is more low-key.
Of course, keeping a low profile is just a way to show your family's bearing, not a reason to sacrifice your comfortable living environment.
At this moment, Maca sat casually on the sofa in the hall, leisurely sipping the fresh juice drink produced by the Witte family.
At the same time, he was observing everything in this hall without a trace.
One by one, the magical ornaments passed through his eyes, and if an ignorant wizard came here, he would definitely ignore the seemingly mundane, even "ugly" small objects.
However, for wizards who understand its value, this hall alone is like a treasure trove of magic made of gold gallons.
"Mr. Dichel, the head of the house has asked the elves to prepare a simple supper, please go to the side hall to enjoy it...... The head of the house is already there waiting for you to take your seat. ”
Maca looked at the middle-aged wizard in front of her, and then the corners of her mouth curled erely.
He stood up suddenly, snorted, and said, "Can you finally get down to business?" Pleasant...... What a delight! ”
Compared to the low-key and luxurious hall, the side hall for hospitality looks much more straightforward.
Generally speaking, family members are not allowed to use it at will. Only when the guests arrive, the side hall will be prepared as quickly as possible under the orders of the head of the house.
And when Maca followed the middle-aged wizard and stepped into this extremely luxurious side hall, he was not attracted by the superficial gold and splendor at all, and immediately glanced at this side hall.
In the middle, on both sides of the long table, covered with embroidered gold tablecloth, was almost full. It seems that the important members of the Werther family have been gathered, and the plan seems to be successful.
However, he did not find Charlotte among those people.
"Also, I don't think Senior Sister will be called to such an occasion," Maca glanced at a certain wizard who was at the bottom of the room, intentionally or unintentionally, but there was no delay in her actions.
"Oh, good evening, Mr. Witt!" He looked directly at the old master of the throne, and said with a graceful smile on the corner of his mouth.
Maca's sentence is basically equivalent to ignoring everyone except the old master. After all, who can sit here without the surname "Werther"?
There were two guys at the table who had no one in their eyes on weekdays, and they were a little uncontrollable immediately, but under the absolute power of the old master, no one dared to speak at the table.
"Mr. Dihel, please sit down next to me...... Closer to some good talk. The old master didn't care about Maca's rudeness at all, and still invited with a calm face.
In his opinion, a young wizard like Maca, who has both strength and background, would be a big joke if he was easy-going and tolerant everywhere.
And what he refers to is, of course, himself back then.
The old patriarch of the Werther family, Gru Samon Werther, was an unborn genius in the Werther family until he took on the special middle name "Samon".
Pure-blood wizard families like the Werther family, which have been passed down all the way from ancient times, will not let their children go to those so-called "magic schools" to study.
For these families, to receive that kind of 'unpopular' teaching is a great insult to their family name.
They have a vast library of books unique to their families, powerful magic that has been passed down from generation to generation, and a lifelong admonition to contribute to the prosperity of their families.
And Gru Werther, a genius wizard cultivated in this environment, is also the only heir of the Werther family who has passed the ancestral test for hundreds of years and is allowed to read the magic book "Abateel" directly.
Looking back on his original self, isn't he as unscrupulous as the young man of the Diehr family in front of him?
"Hmph...... Mr. Witt," Marca ignored his invitation, pulling out an empty chair at the very end, and sat down, "I prefer chicken to pumpkin soup." ”
With that, he tore off a chicken leg from the roast turkey in front of him, opened his mouth and gnawed on it.
The members of the Werther family on both sides of the long table frowned - where had they ever seen such a rude and rude way of dining, was this really a descendant of an ancient wizard family?
The old master, Gru Witt, was also stunned for a moment, and then smiled slightly.
It seems that this boy is much more arrogant than he imagined!
When he entered the door just now, although Maca ignored the others with extreme rudeness, his actions showed good etiquette.
So what is he doing with such barbaric behavior now?
Obviously, this young man is extraordinarily intelligent, his every move involves the emotions of everyone present, and the initiative has been unconsciously controlled by him.
No matter what he has to say next, whether others are happy to listen to it or not, everyone will listen to it word for word.
At this moment, Maca made another unexpected move - she threw the half-gnawed chicken leg in her hand, and with a "clang" sound, the half-pulled chicken leg landed on the plate of a male witch not far from him.
The wizard seemed to be surprised, but he could only sit at the end of the table, and his status in the family was not high. At this moment, he just frowned and looked down at the half of the chicken leg on his plate, and his face changed slightly.
While many people looked at Maca with annoyed eyes, Maca spoke up without care.
"Mr. Werther," he said, leaning lazily back in his chair and wiping his hands with a wet towel, "I think...... You must have noticed some anomalies lately, right? ”
The old master Gru's big white beard moved slightly, and he nodded secretly in his heart: "...... Sure enough, the Dijer family was also born because of the 'anomaly of that time', that's right! ”
But he could imagine that the "abnormality" he and Maca were thinking about were not the same thing at all.
Or, the two may have intersected at the root, but the "appearances" that Maca and Gru come into contact with are completely different.
By "anomalous", Maca refers to the key to Voldemort's rebirth. Of course, this is just a random reason he picked, aiming to lure the old family master to find a serious topic to talk about.
As for the "abnormality" mentioned by the old master......
"Mr. Diher, I wonder what your family thinks about that kind of change?" Gru asked solemnly.
Maca didn't rush to answer, he just looked at the old family master with great meaning, and said slowly, "Of course the Dihel family is very interested...... What reason is there to refuse such an interesting research subject? ”
He walked by lightly, and then asked rhetorically, "What about the Werther family?" Aren't you interested? ”
"Of course the Werther family is also very interested......" The old master paused, his face slightly solemn, "When wizards face the unknown, exploration is inevitable, but it also needs to be cautious ......"
"To tell you the truth, we have not yet found out the cause of such an abnormality, and it would be too early to find out further...... "He hesitated for a moment, and then continued, "if Mr. Dihel had come on behalf of your family to discuss cooperation...... The Werther family is willing to pay the price to join this exploration and research. ”
Now, Maca naturally heard some clues from the words of the old master.
Judging from what the old master Gru said, it was clear that the Werther family had discovered something of extraordinary value. Although the other party has not yet figured out the specific situation, he must have obtained some information through some means.
To be honest, although Maca came this time to bring Charlotte out of the family, now, he was also intrigued by this topic.
What is it that would make an ancient wizard family like Werther imperative? Magic items from the ancient times? Or is it a powerful magic lost in the long river of history?
Or, in fact, the "Monument of Bewitchment" that brought Voldemort back to life?
However, if it is really a monument of bewitchment, he is not ready to face the bleak life now!
After a moment's thought, Maca decisively changed the subject.
"Hmph...... Hum hum ......" He looked directly at the old master and smiled strangely, "Mr. Werther, it seems that you are also very interested...... This is good! Pleasant...... The ultimate pleasure! ”
He suddenly regained his composure, and said loudly, "I have come here on behalf of the family this time just to see Mr. Werther's attitude on this matter. Obviously, the Werther family's spirit of exploring the unknown has not been abandoned to this day, which is very good! ”
"I'll go back and tell the master of the house about Mr. Werther's attitude, huh...... Hahaha...... Pleasant! The ultimate pleasure! He paused, and suddenly stood up from his back chair.
"In addition to the family mission, I have a personal matter for this time...... "Maca sneered suddenly, "that witch named Charlotte is a member of the Werther family, right?" Where is she? ”
When he mentioned the name, the eyes of the middle-aged wizard who had just thrown the leftover chicken legs into the dinner plate flickered.
"Charlotte?" The old family head frowned slightly, and thought for a while before saying, "There is indeed such a female heir in the family...... I remember that Mr. Diehel had been hiding in Hogwarts Castle before, was there anything about her that upset Mr. Diehel? ”
"Hmph......" Maka sneered, "not to be happy, a witch like her is not even as good as a filthy Muggle wallowing in the dirt...... Humph......"
"Of course, this is a private matter and will not affect my report on tonight's conversation...... But Mr. Werther, is that how your family teaches its children? ”
Maca deliberately dragged out her tone, exuding a disgusting arrogance all over her body.
"Hmph...... Hand her over, now, now, now! ”
