Chapter 261: Edward Lemay

The two Beauxbatons boys on the other side of the fountain were arguing fiercely, but Fleur seemed to avoid them, and without giving any explanation to Maca, she beckoned him and Luna to quietly take a detour.

Seeing Fleur's appearance, how could there be anything that Maca didn't understand?

It's just that this matter obviously has nothing to do with him, and Fleur doesn't want to explain it at all, so he shrugs his shoulders and follows with Luna.

The interior of Beauxbatons Castle is distinctly Baroque, whether it is the tables, chairs, carpets or flower column carvings, they are all exquisite, gorgeous and unrestrained, and the color contrast is even more vivid and powerful.

After avoiding the dispute over the fountain, Fleur put on her gentle, slightly haughty smile and led Maca and Luna forward, occasionally introducing them to the various decorations in the porch.

And her younger sister, Gabrielle, followed her sister quietly, looking quite well-behaved and sensible.

Looking at the teaching environment of Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Maca also had to nod her head Compared to Hogwarts, Beauxbatons is obviously much richer!

Who would let the family have a good alumni who can produce gold through alchemy?

He controlled his words and deeds at all times, allowing himself to maintain the necessary etiquette, but the pair of eyeballs glanced at all kinds of valuable things, and still calculated the value contained in them.

Naturally, they weren't just wandering around, at least, they had to go around in front of Madame Maxim, the headmaster, and say hello before they could continue to wander around.

Following Fleur all the way to the top floor, Maca and Luna stopped in front of a gorgeous gate and let Fleur and Gabrielle go in first to inform Maxim.

They didn't have to wait too long, and Fleur came out first.

"Mr. McLean," she whispered, "the Headmaster is receiving guests right now......

"We'll be fine when we wait a while."

Maca didn't want Fleur to think that she would snub herself, so she nodded and said first, but she didn't think about it, but the other party shook her head.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ No, it's not," Fleur explained, "and the guest heard that he was a student from Hogwarts, and he wanted to meet him too......"

At this point, she added, "...... That's Mr. Nick Lemay's butler. ”

Maca nodded in understanding.

"Mr. Nick Lemay and Professor Dumbledore are good friends, presumably for that reason......" he thought for a moment, and motioned, "Let's say hello together!" Otherwise, it would be rude. ”

But although he said this, he was muttering in his heart that the history of magic had been ruined, and Nick Lemay didn't know if he had died with his wife, and when he saw the housekeeper for a while, how should he say hello?

It's hard to ask, "Hey! Are your lords and their wives dead? ”

But no matter what he thinks in his heart, since people have mentioned it, he still has to meet him.

As Fleur pushed the door in, a large room immediately caught Maka's eye. Luxurious dΓ©cor is everywhere, from desks and bookcase coat racks to sofa chairs for entertaining.

At this moment, the tall Madame Maxim was sitting on the sofa chair, and opposite sat a white-bearded wizard, who was obviously the old butler of the Nicklemay family.

"Madame Maxim, it is an honor to see you again. It's not been long since the last separation, and this is bothering you again, if there is anything rude, please don't mind! ”

Marka spoke clichΓ©s, but her gaze first looked at Maxim, and then naturally wandered to the old butler.

"Presumably you are the butler of Mr. Nicklemay's house," he continued, "Professor Dumbledore often talks to me about Mr. Nicklemay's alchemical talents, and although I don't know much about alchemy, I admire Mr. Klemay's achievements...... Don't know what I should call you? ”

"Don't be so polite," said the old butler with a smile, "you can call me Edward...... When I heard that it was Mr. Dumbledore's student who had arrived, I wanted to meet my master on my behalf. ”

As he spoke, the old butler Edward looked at Maca a little more, and then continued: "I heard the master mention earlier that Mr. McLean was Mr. Dumbledore's best student, and when he heard that you had transferred to Durmstrang, he didn't believe it! ”

Hearing Edward mention this, Maca's expression did not change in the slightest, and he still maintained a calm smile on his face.

"Yes! Speaking of which, I don't believe it either! "It's just that there will always be all kinds of unexpected changes in this world, and every step in life will lead you to a completely different future." ”

He didn't mean to explain anything about this matter at all, and he didn't need to explain so much if he couldn't.

Perhaps because of what kind of master there is, what kind of servant there is, this old butler seems to be extraordinary. Although Maca had made a big fuss about the final of the Quidditch World Cup and had a relationship with the evil Death Eaters, the old man was still calm.

"Mr. McLean is really intelligent, and the last thing he said casually is thought-provoking......"

Probably unable to stand the old and young people flattering each other, Madame Maxim hurriedly stretched out her hand to Maca and motioned: "Mr. McLean, don't stand, please take a seat!" And this ...... Miss Lovegood? ”

In the second event of the Trifinals, Luna was held hostage in the maze as Maca, so Madame Maxime was a little impressed.

"Yes, this is Luna Lovegood, a student at Ravenclaw College."

Maca was not polite as she introduced, and took Luna and sat down on the spare sofa chair next to her.

Luna, who was following him, leaned over slightly when she heard them mention herself, a slight trance smile on her face.

Seeing that they were seated, Fleur and Gabrielle smiled at them, and then went out first.

"How does it feel to be in Beauxbatons today? Don't know if you're happy with the environment here? Madame Maxim smiled and said, "If there is any place you want to visit, you can let Delacour take you there in a moment, and you don't have to be too restricted." ”

Maca nodded politely and joked, "The teaching environment of your school is very beautiful, and I can't help but want to stay and study here." I've heard at Hogwarts that your school has a higher bursary than both Hogwarts and Durmstrand! ”

To be honest, although Maca has been lamenting Beauxbatons' Dorking all the way, he really doesn't really want him to live in this kind of place.

Beauxbatons' school rules are actually very strict, especially in terms of etiquette, which is cumbersome, sometimes even to the point of harshness.

One of Beauxbatons' traditions is that when the headmaster enters the room, the students must stand upright until the headmaster is seated and then sit down as a sign of respect for the headmaster.

If he wants to live in this kind of place for a year and a half, does he still want to do things?

Whether it's at Hogwarts or Durmstrand, he's always focused on simplicity and magical studies, and when did he pay attention to etiquette?

Now that Beauxbatons is a guest, he can still pretend to deal with it, but if it takes a long time, he still can't be tired to death?

"Oh...... I'm relieved to hear you say that! Mrs. Maxim, of course, knew that he was joking, and said with a smile, "If possible, please stay a few more days in the rooms of the school for guests, and now that it is summer vacation, Mr. McLean can stay and enjoy the beauty of Beauxbatons." ”

Of course, there is nothing wrong with staying for a few days, but if you continue to revolve around these polite words, I guess the next topic should cover the French wizarding world.

Maca deliberately said less, so she simply threw the conversation to the old butler Edward.

"Oh...... Thank you for your hospitality, I am honored. As he spoke, he naturally changed the subject, "Madame don't have to worry about me, since Madame is still entertaining, and ask Madame and Mr. Edward to continue, I will go to other places to visit first." ”

However, he wanted to put oil on the soles of his feet, but some people refused to let him.

"Oh! Mr. McLean is so polite," said the old butler with a smile, "it is all right, my wife and I have just talked about something interesting, and if Mr. McLean is interested, he might as well come and listen to it." ”

Although people said it very casually, after all, they made an invitation, and it was obviously because they could afford him to say so. If he refuses to say it, it will be uninteresting.

In that case, he could only smile and nod, waiting for Edward or Maxim to continue.

Luna on the side didn't care at all, she tilted her head sideways and looked at the landscape oil painting on the wall, staring for a moment, as if she was starting to take care of herself again.

"Here's the thing......"

The old butler paused, and then began to tell an incident about his master, Nick Lemay.

In fact, most of the wizards who study alchemy are very fond of tossing cryptography. However, the cryptography of this wizarding world is very different from that of Muggles, and is fundamentally based on all kinds of special ancient magic scripts.

His master, Nick Lemay, is also proficient in the in-depth study of many ancient scriptures.

It's just that nearly a hundred years ago, in the course of traveling around the world, Nick Lemay discovered a very special ancient character from the ruins of an ancient ruin, and it is not known whether it has magical powers.

It took him a lot of time to decipher part of this ancient character, but it didn't take long for him to completely throw it aside.

Recently, when the old butler Edward was tidying up his things, he turned over the stone slabs with ancient characters carved into them. But he found these slates very strange.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It can even be said to be 'weird'! The old butler's face turned pale.
