I don't know if it was a coincidence or if Arkinbad did it on purpose, he chose the location of this emergency joint meeting at the Federation branch of the French wizarding community.

After all, the first meeting of the International Confederation of Wizards was held in France.

In such a place of great significance to the Federation, it would be provocative to start a discussion on the International Federation of Wizards' Secrecy Act, which is also of great significance to the Federation.

Of course, the meeting had not yet begun, and the official parliamentarians had not yet gathered, and Akinbad only indicated in the urgent invitation that it was a discussion of the "Helbo Rebellion".

The real issue can't be said all at once, is it?

"Here...... Is that the venue for the first joint convention? ”

At this moment, Kingsley and Arkinbad are in this historic conference room, accompanied by the French Minister of Magic and the headmaster of Beauxbatons, Madame Maxim.

Kingsley seemed to be a little puzzled by the fact that the venue, which had obviously not been used for a long time, and was still somewhat dirty and dusty, even though it was sometimes cleaned.

"In fact, it's usually only used for exhibitions and exhibitions, and it's ...... To be honest, not many people want to come to see this kind of place, so there is a bit of a slack in cleaning. ”

"Madame Maxim."

Seeing that the big headmaster beside him even said this kind of big truth, the minister couldn't help but tug at the hem of her clothes, but instead Maxim lowered his head and glared.

"These two are my friends, and there's no need to be so secretive when talking to them!"

After saying this to the obviously weak minister, Maxim turned his head and said as if with a little worry:

"We have also helped to do the work of stepping up the convening of parliamentarians, and I say, Mr. Akinbard, Mr. Shakel, should you two also tell the truth? Seriously, I am aware of the current tension in the British wizarding community, and I am afraid that it is unusual for anyone to hold a joint meeting at this time...... The two of you said yes, yes? ”

When she had finished, the French Minister of Magic added:

“…… Moreover, it was deliberately chosen in this old venue, which has long been abandoned. ”

"yes!" When Akinbad heard this, he couldn't help but bow his head slightly, "Madam, you are right, such an untimely emergency meeting will indeed make people suspicious. However, it is precisely because of this that it is even more inconvenient for us to tell the truth now...... Oh, it's definitely not a distrust of the two, it's ...... Mr. McLean's proposal. ”

"Hmm-"

After hearing this, Maxim couldn't help but groan, and then nodded helplessly.

"Alright! Sooner or later, we'll find out...... But when you say that, it seems even more amazing than I originally thought? ”

Before he could finish speaking, Kingsley and Arkinbad glanced at each other, and then they both smiled wryly.

Madame Maxim really can't be considered an outsider, so the two don't particularly want to hide it from each other. The deliberate mention of Maca just now is actually equivalent to giving Maxim a very clear hint.

Even Maca had to be so cautious in advising them to pay attention to secrecy, and this matter must be very involved.

And the next moment when there was a slight silence in this old conference room, a knock on the door suddenly sounded from the door, causing the four people present to turn their heads at the same time.

"Oh, that's my secretary...... Wait a minute, I'll come as soon as I go. ”

With that, the minister hurried to the door, and only after the secretary had whispered a few words in his ear did he come back and say:

"The lord of Fort Blois already knew about the two of them, and he took a representative over and wanted to talk to them...... I don't know? ”

The French Blois family is a well-known top wizard family in Europe, and Arkinbad, as the president of the federation, naturally has dealt with each other a few times.

However, while Akinbad was still hesitating, Kingsley spoke first.

"Understood, please come in the representative of Fort Blois!"

"Are you alright?" Akinbad turned his head and asked in a low voice, "To be honest, the Blois people are a bit difficult to deal with...... If that person suddenly asks about the actual situation, I'm afraid we can't afford not to answer? ”

"No problem," said Kingsley, "though I haven't seen much of anyone at Fort Blois—"

"Haven't you seen it?"

"Hmm...... But with the name of Maca, people will definitely not embarrass us too much...... Maybe they can help us a little! ”

Everyone basically knows a little about the friendship between Maca and the Blois family, but not many people know how deep that friendship is.

After all, in the impression of most people who know something about the Blois family, the family that is low-key on the surface but arrogant in fact is not an easy person to deal with.

But after a while, when an old man in a suit and leather shoes and neatly combed hair walked in through the door with steady steps, and took the initiative to smile and extend his hand to Kingsley and Akinbad, everyone except Kingsley suddenly felt a little surprised.

They all knew this old man, and he was the oldest old butler in Fort Blois, who was in charge of all the affairs of the Blois family.

In the past, although the old butler was often smiling, he always gave people a sense of distance, how could he feel as kind as an old friend today?

"Is Mr. McLean okay? The people sent by the head of the family before, are they still enough? I've been wondering if I'll send another group of people to help! ”

"No, no, that's enough," replied Kingsley, taking the old butler's hand, "Maca said that Blois Fort is just as important, and ...... I don't know why, but he recently said that the presence of Fort Blois has become more important than ever. ”

"Really?"

Kingsley's words were clearly very concerning, including the old butler. However, after a moment's pause, he immediately smiled again, and then took the initiative to change his head and say:

"I see, I'll let the guards continue to be strengthened when I get back."

After a slight greeting, the old housekeeper immediately looked solemn and said seriously:

"Actually, the main reason why the head of the family asked me to come here this time is to let me fully cooperate with the two of you in this emergency meeting...... The French wizarding world is the territory of our Blois family, and if there is any need, we will definitely help. ”

Even if the Minister of Magic of France was standing next to him, the old butler did not shy away from saying that "the French Wizarding World is the territory of the Blois family", so it is no wonder that Mr. Minister has always behaved so weakly.

With such a deep-rooted and thriving family sitting on the side, how could he be strong?
