Chapter 1601: The Muggle Queen's Guts
ββ¦β¦ Are you going to take the Muggle Queen's request for help? β
In the small parlor at Fort Blois, Kingsley had just gotten up to leaveβhe had already said what he had to say, and his personal thoughts had already been conveyed to the other two people present, so Maca let him go to rest first.
When he went out, Maca and Blois fell silent for a while, until the latter seemed to sense part of Maca's thoughts, and asked a question.
"Well, yes!" Maca sat on the sofa, folded her arms in contemplation, and paused before saying, "There are some things that I really have to help...... After all, those Muggle dwellers must be innocent. β
Hearing this, Blois couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
"Even if the queen and the prime minister are forced to ask for help, they still try to maintain their reserve and decency first?"
In the case that Kingsley has just described, it is no wonder that Mr. Blois would say this. However, after chuckling, Maca still nodded her head.
"Yes." He replied, "Actually, to be honest, the Queen's reserve was predictable - even if it was just for the sake of the royal family's face, she would not be allowed to bow her head, which is not difficult to imagine." β
As she was talking, Maca suddenly spread her hands again, and said while recalling:
"But...... Well, I've met her before! Did you know, Mr. Blois? At the time, before it all got out of hand, the Queen was actually thinking about merging the wizarding world with the Muggle world - no doubt it was a very radical idea at the time. β
"At that time, I naturally decisively rejected her intention to cooperate, after all, in the situation between the two sides that was still stable at that time, this could only be regarded as a whimsical proposal."
"But," Maka said in a slightly more aggravated tone, "although I flatly rejected the offer at the time, I have always been in favor of the general direction in which wizarding Muggles are reunited. And I think the Queen was probably aware of this fundamental point of view at that time. β
Listening to Maca speak of this step by step, Blois finally interjected with a slight frown:
"I think I understand what you're talking about...... You mean, the Queen's reserved attitude is mainly due to her desire to keep wizards and Muggles on an equal level? β
"I think so...... Or at least, there must be a reason for this. "To be honest, although this period is full of dangers, the eyes of the whole of Europe and even the world are secretly focused on this. However, this is not necessarily the most appropriate time for the 'two societies' to come into contact. β
In short, it's an opportunity, and one that once missed, it's hard to come back again.
Right now, there are so many pairs of "eyes" staring here, but the owners of those sights don't dare to stretch out their hands here. In a way, no one would dare to intervene in the most astonishing actions of Maca and the Muggle Queen.
After all, Helbo is like a sticky dynamite these days, and no one wants to provoke him into their home for no reason.
In the end, there are very few cases like the Blois family who have received asylum seekers.
"So I think," Marca continued, "that the attitude of the Muggle Queen is perhaps more of a more subtle message to me......"
Maca paused for a moment, and it was clear that he hesitated.
Because, although he has come to a rather bold conclusion, he still does not know how much "courage" the queen has, whether she dares to think of going with him.
While Maca was pondering to himself, Mr. Blois, who was sitting opposite, did not rush to ask, he just waited with a serious face.
After a moment, Maca said slowly:
"Alright! I would like to believe that our 'radical queen' wants to 'take a gamble'! So, I think she was actually trying to say that she wanted to be fully involved in this 'war' against Helbo. β
"Shhhh
Calm as Blois, he couldn't help but take a soft breath at this time.
Blois also knows something about the situation on the British royal family's side, and he knows that the other party's contact with the British wizarding world has never been completely severed.
Especially after the famous male wizard Davidson suddenly disappeared and secretly ran to attach himself to the royal family and served as the chief bishop of England, the British royal family has a deeper understanding of the wizarding world.
Therefore, Blois understands exactly what it means to "participate in the war".
If Maca's speculation was correct, then the Queen probably wanted Muggles to ...... At the very least, "some Muggles" gain the ability to use magical powers!
"This ...... It's impossible to do it in a short period of time, right? β
Faced with Mr. Blois's question, Maca could only smile, and then said slowly:
"If that's what the Queen meant...... If you can't do it, you have to do it. Because not only do they know something about wizards, they know about magic, they obviously know it too...... I also knew them very well, and I knew Muggles very well. β
"What do you mean?"
Seeing Blois frowning and asking, Maca said calmly:
"It's simple, maybe Helmo himself hasn't paid much attention to it, but he's pushing Muggles to the brink of extinction. And I and the British royal family both know that Muggles must not be driven to a dead end - the wizarding world has been separated from Muggles for too long after all, and many people may forget that Muggle power is also extremely terrifying! β
Greenwald hadn't forgotten that year, so he even relied on the huge explosion to spark panic among wizards during his speeches, and by the way, increase his supporters.
And Maca, of course, is even more unlikely to forget this, if the Muggle side is really pushed into a hurry, the consequences are afraid that the consequences will be more serious than the current disaster caused by Helbo.
The British Muggle royal family had reason to maintain their reserve, because it was good for both sides.
Thinking of this, Maca suddenly waved her hand, and then, as if she wanted to relax, leaned back against the soft back of the sofa.
"Forget it, we don't need to worry too much about this matter, the real nerves that should be worried about these are the group of parliamentarians of the International Federation in the end!" He said calmly, "And we...... Or rather, the most I should consider is to keep more 'hands' on the 'magic' side. β
With that, Maca beckoned to the black tea that the maid had placed on the table, causing it to float in front of him, and he took a sip of the teaglass.
"It's cold." He said casually.
