Chapter 546: Flowers, Blooming
In Monsieur Blois's spacious, bright and delicately decorated study, Maca and the other man had an unusually polite conversation. He could clearly feel the discomfort contained in the other party's words, and it was clear that Willy's father was not used to talking to others in such a polite way.
It can be seen that behind the other party's performance, there should be a hidden purpose.
But whether the Monsieur Blois had a request for herself, or what she wanted from herself, Maca could not understand the purpose of this sudden suddenness.
You know, he came to Fort Blois this time on his own initiative, without even a word of notice...... Although the suspicions revealed by the other party in his words and deeds have reached such an obvious level, he still understands what he thinks in his heart.
After another conversation without much nutrition, Maca finally smiled bitterly.
"I have to say, Mr. Blois, that you are indeed not well suited to such a tone and deliberately politeness." Maca interrupted a topic and said bluntly, "I'm a friend of Willy's, and you're her father—if you need my help, just say it." ”
When Mr. Blois heard this, he could not help but be slightly stunned. After staring at Maka's face silently for a moment, the slightly stiff smile on his face gradually faded, but there was a little more helplessness in his eyes.
"Mr. McLean," he addressed Maca unchanged, "you may be right, I ...... Well, I'd like to ask you a question, and if you can, be sure to answer it honestly. ”
"Please—" Maca gestured with her hand.
"I've heard ......," said Mr. Blois, grimly, "I hear that you seem to have cultivated a spider with the ability to petrify in sight, don't you?" ”
Maca nodded dryly.
This matter was originally a secret, but after he controlled those little guys more and more times, there were actually many people who knew about it. The Blois family has a lot of power in their hands, and they can understand this, and it is clear that it is not unexpected by him.
"So......" continued Mr. Blois, "are those spiders some kind of alienated subspecies based on the bloodline of the eight-eyed giant spider?" ”
In the entire wizarding world, there are actually many magical creatures like spiders, and the eight-eyed giant spider is just one of the more famous species. In addition, the little ones cultivated by Maca are all mixed with the blood of the basilisk, and it is extremely difficult to distinguish the characteristics of the eight-eyed giant spider from the appearance, and I don't know how this Mr. Blois guessed.
Now, of course, that doesn't seem to be the point.
"Mr. Blois, when you went to Voldemort to cooperate, it was for that guy's bloodline to transform knowledge, right?" Maca thought for a moment, and suddenly had a hint of understanding, "Actually, you don't have to beat around the bush...... If the bloodline transformation can indeed solve the curse on Willy, of course I'm willing to give it a try. ”
"But, last time I was—"
When Maca saw the embarrassment in the other party's expression, he immediately understood what the previous politeness was for. He could understand, after all, the last time he was deep in the underground of the Dark Spirit Pavilion, the other party didn't even want to explain, so he tried to stop him. Even in the end, the two had a big fight.
After that situation, it was obvious that Willy's father would have a hard time asking for help from him.
"Mr. Blois, where is Willy now? Do you mind if I meet her first and have a chat? ”
Maca interrupted the other party again, because his side didn't seem to care about that incident at all, so why bother the family now?
"You know, she and I haven't seen each other in a long time," he smiled, "Mr. Butler said that you didn't let her go to Hogwarts for her safety—I think you made the right decision. But seriously, I miss her a lot...... We're good friends. ”
After Maca interrupted, Mr. Blois opened his mouth again, but after that, he did not say anything superfluous. He heard sincerity from Maca's words, and it was this sincerity that made the apologies and entanglements in his heart fade a little.
“…… Friend...... Okay," the other man nodded, and said slowly, "I think Willy still needs a friend...... She's in her own room, and the butler will lead you there. ”
The word "friend" is a very distant word for Willy and for Monsieur Blois.
Maca remembered that Willy had told him a story about her first friend. In those memories of the past, Monsieur Blois tried to send a friend's warmth to the lonely little Willy, but unfortunately it turned out to be a big regret in Willy's heart.
After that, Maca said goodbye to Monsieur Blois for a moment, and led by the old butler at the door, left the study and walked in the other direction of the corridor.
In the study, Monsieur Blois looked at his departing back, but sighed softly.
Since when did you not even remember how to ask someone? Did it start on the day his wife died? Or is it that after sitting in the seat of the head of the Blois family, he gradually became what he is now?
He didn't know...... He just felt that he was no longer the young wizard who could communicate with others at will. All kinds of experiences made him a completely boring guy.
“…… Am I really a good father? He asked himself softly, but he couldn't find the right answer in his mind.
……
Willy's room is located in a small tower on the west side of Fort Blois, with five floors from the bottom to the top, and she has belonged to her since she was a child.
Maca followed the old butler up the floors to the top floor, where Willy's bedroom was located.
When the old butler stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door, a female voice immediately came from inside. It wasn't Willy's voice, it sounded like a maid, about twenty or thirty years old.
"Who is it?"
The other party was in French, and perhaps it was only a habitual response, so without waiting for the old butler to answer, the door was opened.
"Oh, it's you?" The maid said softly, "Miss is reading at this moment, may I ask ......?"
She couldn't finish her sentence, because not long after she spoke, she spotted Maca standing nearby. It could be seen that she seemed very surprised that the stranger Maca appeared at the door of the young lady's bedroom.
"This ...... This is? The maid hesitated and returned her gaze to the old butler.
"This is Mr. McLean, a friend of Miss." The old butler explained, "Is the young lady reading?" It's okay, I think Mademoiselle would be happy to meet Mr. McLean! ”
"Uh...... Is it? The maid blinked in surprise, her face still puzzled, "Miss's friend? ”
Although she was strange, since the old housekeeper had said so, it would naturally not be wrong. Filled with wonder, she quickly stepped aside.
However, just as she was about to reach out and pull the door open, the door was directly pushed to the side by another force.
"Maca?"
The first thing that caught Maca's eyes was a pair of crystal white hair, like snow and frost with a slightly transparent texture, which was easily reminiscent of the crystal clear. And then, he turned his attention to the delicate, fair face hidden between the white hairs.
Willie was wearing a wide nightgown at the moment, matching her petite body, and she looked very lazy.
"Willy, long time no see." He smiled and greeted the other party, looking relaxed and casual.
"Flowers, blooming." Willy looked at him, serious.
This girl is still off the line as always, and she always speaks out of the rules. He was still saying hello here, and people jumped the topic directly to the flower.
Maca pondered for a moment, tilted her head and guessed, "You mean...... That Rafaela dragon kiss last time? ”
Willy nodded expressionlessly.
"Really, it's better than the photos......"
After the Rafaela dragon kiss bloomed, Willy sent him a lot of letters, which contained a lot of cultivation records and indeed some magical photos.
But that's been a long time coming...... Could it be that this girl has been thinking about letting him see the flower?
"So let's go and see?" Maca shrugged.
"Hmm."
"Bang!"
Willy nodded again, and then closed the door, leaving Maca, who was standing outside the door, and the old butler beside her wordlessly looked at each other.
"I think Miss should go back and change her clothes." The old butler explained.
"That's what I thought too." Maca smiled wryly and shook her head, "Seeing that her temperament hasn't changed at all, somehow, I feel a lot better." ”
In fact, what hasn't changed in Willy is not just her personality. Maca also noticed that the girl, who was not good at words, didn't seem to have changed much in appearance. In contrast, after several years of growth and development, his appearance has changed a lot.
As for the reason, it may be that the power of the seal is affecting the growth of her body, or maybe it is some complication of the bloodline curse. But if you don't grow up for the rest of your life, it's a big pity.
Willy didn't let Macha wait, although she always looked expressionless, she was obviously quite happy with Maka's arrival. It wasn't long before the bedroom was opened from the inside again, and the well-dressed Willie finally walked out of the door gently.
"Let's go."
As she spoke, she eagerly tugged at Maca's sleeve and walked downstairs, and Maca was pulled by her coldly.
