Chapter 585: You Are Yin and I am Yin
At the end of the day, both for Maca and for old Edward, all they lacked was a justifiable reason.
Nicol Lemay's legacy is to be made public to the global wizarding community, and the groups that have come to the world now include almost half of the world's countries. If you want to pass on "knowledge" to all wizards, you must not be able to avoid these large and small forces.
Therefore, even though Edward Sr. had agreed with Madame Maxime a long time ago on a reasonable and reasonable distribution at Hogwarts, he still had to find a suitable reason.
So, does this reason have to be to get a favor from old Edward in front of everyone? No, of course not.
What Maca has to do is understand what most of the wizards are thinking. As long as he understood how the representatives of the forces wanted to obtain the alchemy inheritance, he could cooperate with the old butler and complete their plan in the way that most people thought.
Although others will definitely be unwilling to get the fruit in this way, they are more afraid of being annoyed why the lucky person is not themselves.
Winning with the methods everyone is thinking of is undoubtedly the most inconspicuous and least suspicious shortcut to victory for Maca and Edward Sr., who have reached an agreement in private.
When the able-bodied housekeeper Fanny entered the auditorium again, she found that it was still in a stalemate. Compared with the time when they left not long ago, there may be some progress, but the most important point - the whereabouts of the old butler still no one knows the truth.
This is also a matter of course, because old Edward took the Immortal Hidden Elixir to hide his body, and he, the so-called "victim", was actually one of the makers of this disappearance.
At this moment, Fanny noticed that the wizards in the auditorium who were kept in the dark were still hesitating about the purpose of the Tayflor family master and the origin of the two strange wizards, one tall and one short. The spearhead of the masses is directly pointing at the two sides who seem to be at the center of the incident.
ββ¦β¦ It's all this time, I think you should make yourself known too, right? The flirtatious wizard was still staring at the tall man, apparently in a fit for the other.
"Does this have anything to do with your purpose?" The tall wizard's face was not good, and he was still holding on to his death, "What we want to do is actually no different, it's all to find a way to get Mr. Butler back safe and sound, isn't it?" β
"Hmph, you're right," the frivolous man pursed his lips and replied reluctantly, but immediately changed his perspective, "but to be honest, if you two keep it like this, I'm afraid everyone here won't be able to really rest assured, right?" Although we all belong to different forces, we at least know the roots, but you can see...... What about you? β
Maybe the two of them have some inconvenient origins, or maybe they still have some ulterior motives, but no matter what, they have always persevered, and there is a determination not to reveal their identities.
It is worth mentioning that this tug-of-war lasted not for a short time, and many people in the auditorium began to show impatience.
As for the head of the Tauffle family, who had been surrounded in the middle from the beginning, he calmed down at this moment. He occasionally glanced at his son, but more often than not, he just stared at the tall wizard with a sneer.
"If you don't mind, let me say a few words?"
Coldly, a clear voice suddenly rang out from behind the crowd on the side of the auditorium, and the wizards who were blocking in front of them turned their heads after hearing it. And when they found out who suddenly spoke, most of them took the initiative to give way.
It was Fanny who spoke, the housekeeper of the Blois family in France. If you want to talk about status, the surname "Blois" alone is enough to prove many things, not to mention that she is also a steward with her own surname who handles many internal and external affairs of the Blois family.
At present, the people in the auditorium are actually people of similar levels in various forces, and they naturally have no reason to oppose Fanny's request to speak.
But how did she start voicing? You know, the housekeeper had been by McLean's side all the time without saying a wordβwhich inevitably made those who were flexible in their minds start to think about it again.
After all, what kind of relationship is maintained between the low-key Blois family and Hogwarts is enough to make the major powers speculate endlessly.
Seeing that no one said "I mind", Fanny calmly walked down the aisle that everyone had left and calmly walked towards the center of the dispute.
"I know that all the gentlemen and ladies are worried about some of the unknowns that are gradually emerging," she said as she walked, her eyes deliberately glancing over the tall wizard, "but at the end of the day, we have to find Mr. Edward Lemay. I think...... Whoever the kidnapper of Mr. Butler was, he couldn't easily admit what he had done, could he? β
Speaking of this, Fanny frowned slightly, and her beautiful face showed her usual seriousness.
"If that's the case, what's the point of us arguing here?" She said, "I suggest that everyone go and find Mr. Butler as soon as possible." And these ...... 'suspects' will be guarded by me and Madame Maxim first, and when Mr. Butler returns, everything will be understood. β
Her words were so remarkable that many wizards nodded their heads, apparently in their deep opinion. In fact, it was not that her advice was subtle, but that everyone was actually thinking so, but they were still suspicious of the existence of the Tauffler family master and the two strange wizards, and no one wanted to miss any major clues because of their own thoughts.
"And what do you Blois Castle say?" In the crowd, a wizard from another force suddenly shouted, "France is the territory of your Blois family, if that Mr. Butler has been smuggled out of Beauxbatons, it won't be all your Blois Castle in the end?" β
"You can't talk nonsense," said Fanny seriously, "there are many other forces in France besides my Blois family! β
As she spoke, as if she had thought of something, she continued, "Of course, I will also take this opportunity to make an explanation on behalf of the Blois familyβat least in this Chamber of Commerce, we at Blois Castle have no intention of getting involved. I'm here to visit the castle as a person. β
ββ¦β¦ Really? β
Some people obviously don't believe her set of statements, but because the power behind them is not big enough, they can only mix in the crowd and mutter.
"Of course it is true," said Fanny, who at once heard the other man's words, and at once turned in the direction from which the voice came, and said aloud, "this gentleman, do you have any suspicions about our Blois Castle?" β
"No, no, how can it be ......" After Fannie's calm look, the person who had just spoken suddenly shrank down.
However, at this moment, another voice suddenly appeared, giving everyone's already somewhat stiff necks another chance to loosen their bones.
I can't help it, I always stretch my neck and look forward, it's really tiring!
"Miss Blois, it's not that I want to be suspicious of you Blois Castle, but there are some facts that make me dare to doubt it......"
The person who spoke at this time was really surprising, because it was Maca McKellen of Hogwarts! From his words, it was somewhat audible that he seemed to have discovered some secret information about the Blois family.
Hey, that's big news for the representatives of the forces here!
At first, they thought that Blois Castle and Hogwarts were going to unite, but this trend of strong alliances really made the hearts of all the forces sink suddenly. But now it seems that the bond between the two sides is not as solid and reliable as they thought?
"Mr. McLean?" Fanny's face tightened, looking at the Maca who appeared at the door of the auditorium, there seemed to be some doubts, and there was some surprise in it, "What fact are you talking about?" What do you want to suspect? β
"Hmm......" Maca came in from the main entrance of the auditorium, and now stood by the door, with a little muttering on her face, "I think it might be better for the person concerned to explain this 'fact' to everyone in person...... Mr. Butler, please come in! β
Before the words fell, as he stretched out his hand to invite, a familiar figure suddenly came out of the originally empty door. Look at the unforgettable butler's uniform, and the kind face carved with wrinkles, who is not the old Edward, the housekeeper of the Lemay family?
From the moment the old butler appeared, the auditorium fell silent.
"Ladies and gentlemen, first of all, I would like to thank you all for your efforts to make my deed," said old Edward's old voice, echoing softly through the auditorium, which had fallen silent, "yes, there was a little episode of my abduction...... I have to say, this is also a rare bad memory in my life. So far, my life has not been long, it is much shorter than that of the head of the family......"
He casually made a little joke, with a slight hint of sarcasm in between, apparently secretly responsible for the guys in the auditorium. He's had an accident, but these wizards are still just messing around, and even if he has a good temper, he's a little angry.
"But......" said old Edward after a pause, "I didn't expect that the person who attacked me would be a member of the Blois family, who has always been low-key and introverted...... This surprised me a lot. β
