In this palatial side hall, sumptuous dishes line the long dining table, exuding tantalizing aromas. In the crystal clear wine glass, the amber wine reveals a faint halo under the illumination of the light.

In the portraits on the walls, the wizards of the Werther family exchanged glances with each other, as did the family members on either side of the table, silent and silent.

Probably because of Maca's sudden attack, no one is in the mood to touch the exquisite food on the table now.

During the short time she waited for Charlotte to come, the air became a little heavier.

However, the moment the much-anticipated side hall door was pushed open, the most embarrassing person in the audience was Maca, who smiled subtly.

Uncle, you didn't recognize me until now?

"McLean ......"

Seeing Charlotte's determined expression, Maca couldn't help but feel a stomachache.

"Good evening...... Senpai? He regrouped his mood, but the smile on his face became more and more weird, "I don't know how senior sister is lately?" Heard...... You're getting married? ”

He said as he stood up and walked towards her.

“…… So what. ”

Charlotte's eyes flickered, trying her best to suppress the complicated emotions in her heart, and replied coldly with a tense face.

Fortunately, it's rare that the blind actor gave birth to a movie queen daughter, and it seems that there is still salvation.

Maca stood still in front of Charlotte, but in comparison with Charlotte, who was tall and long-legged, everyone noticed that Maca was actually a few inches shorter than her.

It was only at this moment that many members of the Werther family realized for the first time that the sometimes elegant and calm, sometimes obedient and manic guy in front of them was actually just a young man several years younger than Charlotte.

Once this was noticed, the originally somewhat funny comparison made the hearts of everyone present even heavier.

What is the power that allows this teenager to suppress the audience in front of the old master? Is it his family lineage? Obviously, the reason for this is far from simple......

Shorter than Charlotte, Maca is naturally quite aware - he has been "looking up" at her since he first entered school, and until Charlotte graduated, he did not have a chance to break this visual relationship.

Now, however, this contrast can be a valid psychological suggestion.

The deterrent effect caused by the blow he had previously given back several family members at the door was invisibly amplified by this psychological suggestion.

Just as everyone at the table was solemn, and even the old man showed a thoughtful expression, Maca suddenly spoke-

"Senior sister, haven't you always longed for the so-called 'freedom'? How...... Is marrying Augustine the 'freedom' you want? ”

He stared intently into Charlotte's eyes, with a hint of mockery in his tone.

"For the sake of this foolish faith, to sabotage my perfect plans at Hogwarts...... If it weren't for your stupid behavior that delayed my time, the Philosopher's Stone would have been mine! ”

The word "Philosopher's Stone" easily caused a stir among the members of the Werther family.

At the beginning, the Philosopher's Stone caused a storm at Hogwarts, but except for the person concerned, even the vast majority of students did not know the specific situation.

Of course, no one knows that the Philosopher's Stone has been destroyed.

Now, when this world-famous alchemical masterpiece comes out of Maca's mouth, it immediately arouses greed in everyone's hearts.

"But Nick Lemay's Philosopher's Stone?"

The old man has a lot of white beards, and he is the oldest in the audience, if you want to say that you are in a hurry, of course he is the most anxious.

After all, not every old man was as intelligent as Dumbledore and saw through the mystery of life and death.

Maca turned her head slowly, her eyes flashing with a fierce gaze.

"It's indeed Nick Lemay's Philosopher's Stone, the Philosopher's Stone." He said calmly, "The pinnacle of alchemy that connects spirit and matter, the 'key' to refining the elixir of life. ”

"And now? Where is it? Still at Hogwarts? The old master could barely hide the impatience in his heart, and he immediately continued to ask.

But Marka smiled mysteriously and said meaningfully, "I wonder if Mr. Witt knows, Voldemort...... Already resurrected? ”

The old man's face immediately changed, could it be that he ......

"I wonder if Mr. Witt knows that he has now regained his youthful appearance?"

"This ......," the old master was stunned for a moment, "can the Philosopher's Stone still restore its appearance?" ”

Maca shrugged her shoulders and said, "I don't know about this, I just know...... When he escaped from Hogwarts by possessing a professor, he was holding the Philosopher's Stone in his hand......"

"If it weren't for the fact that this granddaughter of yours had to argue with me about 'freedom' and delay my time...... Hmph......"

It has to be said that Nick Lemay is a great alchemist who has surpassed his limits, and his masterpiece in his heyday has resounded more than the whole world.

Once upon a time, many families and individuals tried their best to seize the seemingly ordinary, but miraculous stone.

Unfortunately, Nick Lemay is a master of alchemy, and he can easily disappear with his wife, and many wizards who yearn for wealth and immortality cannot find a trace of him.

But now, when the old master heard that the Philosopher's Stone was actually in Voldemort's hands, he knew that the opportunity had come!

Although the so-called Dark Lord is powerful, their Werther family is not vegetarian. In the event of a head-on collision, they are not afraid of anyone.

However, after a burst of excitement, the old man forced himself to calm down.

"Mr. Dihr, you are so young...... Are you also interested in the Philosopher's Stone? ”

Maca glanced at him, then smiled contemptuously.

"Young?" He looked the old master up and down, then shook his head again, "Oh, you think I'm interested in the 'elixir of life'?" ”

The old family owner secretly said, "Sure enough", the Dihel family are all crazy people who are obsessed with magic research, and several of them blew themselves up because of a mistake in the research process.

It seems that the genius boy in front of him has obviously inherited the "excellent" tradition of the Dihr family.

"Oh...... Of course not! The old master smiled and said, "Doing anything for the sake of research is the quality that every wizard should have!" ”

As if hearing a rare quote of wisdom, Maca raised her eyebrows, revealing a look of approval.

"Looks like Mr. Witt understands it too!" He snorted with satisfaction, "As far as I can see, 'turning stones into gold' and 'refining the elixir of life' are just by-products of that magic stone, and its mysterious power of communicating spirit and matter is the real mystery of that magic stone!" ”

"Well, then, there doesn't seem to be any conflict between our intentions......," said the old master suddenly, "Mr. Dichel, I have a private deal here, and I wonder if you are willing to accept it?" ”

What he was going to say next, Maca knew with a round part. But after all, he was the one who pulled out this result all the way, and now it's time to echo it, of course, he can only suppress the soul of complaining in his heart.

"Say it!" Maca waved her hand casually.

"As long as Mr. Diehr can study and use the Philosopher's Stone together after obtaining it, then Charlotte will be taken away and disposed of by you today, and we will have nothing to say." The old man said.

It wasn't quite what he had in mind. Obviously, there seems to be something hidden in the Werther family, so much so that they have given up the opportunity to take the initiative......

Is it because of the deterrence of the "Dihr family"? This kind of answer, Maca herself was the first to disbelieve.

According to his understanding, there were obviously several more ancient wizard families, but why did they hide quietly in the shadows?

What are the scruples? Or are you planning something unseemly?

Of course, now is not the time to think about this, let's solve the matter in front of us first!

Maca snorted coldly, pointed at Charlotte and said, "Just her? Can it be compared to half of a Sage's Stone? Mr. Witt, are you kidding? ”

Charlotte had a cold face, and said in her heart that if she had a chance to leave here, she would definitely make enough effort to give this junior brother who dared to say anything to give it a hard time.

When he grasps the psychology of the other party's desire, this kind of desire to indulge in the move will be extremely effective when he hides his true intentions.

What's more, what he said is also very true. In the eyes of the members of the Werther family, it was too good to trade a Charlotte for half of the use of the Philosopher's Stone.

If Maca doesn't bargain, it will really arouse the suspicion of the other party.

Sure enough, the old master immediately nodded and said, "Of course it's more than that!" Mr. Dijer, if you have anything you want, as long as we in the Werther family have it, you can consider it. ”

I'm waiting for your words!

"I'd like to borrow the magic book Abbatheil!" Maca said unceremoniously.

When the old master heard this, his face suddenly froze.

The Werther family's magic book is too famous, and the reason why it is so famous is precisely because of the scandal in the family.

"Ahem...... Can you change it? The old master took a deep breath and said, "'Abateel' is the inheritance of our Werther family, and even if it is a family member, it needs to be sifted through a lot of ...... before it can be read."

For this request of Maca, he is not surprised, not at all!

It was because of the scum of the family that this secret magic book of the family became almost universal. Even if the Werther family has completely lowered its profile now, everyone who should know already knows it.

But can that thing be casually taken out and used as a trade-in item?

Maca shrugged her shoulders and said, "In that case...... I'd like to borrow a few of your family's books - not including Abatheel, but that's fine, right? ”

From the beginning, he didn't expect to be able to see the famous and mysterious magic book so easily.
