Chapter 1617: Come one by one
Angry?
No, for Davidson Sr., who is already very old and has experienced too many ups and downs in his life, this option definitely does not exist. As a wizard whose strength is in the middle and upper reaches of the entire modern wizarding world, he knows very well that Macka McKellen is undoubtedly unbeatable.
Therefore, no matter how greedy he is and how much he desires power and fame, he has always been just thinking about how to carefully intervene in it.
Unfortunately, the only thing he didn't calculate was that Helbo's power was too strong, so strong that Maca couldn't bear any uncertainty in his plans.
Otherwise, Maca wouldn't bother to care about his "petty theft"!
"Please!"
Maka, who was sitting on the couch, glanced at him again, then waved her hand at the side door of the main hall, which opened even when no one touched it.
"This ...... Well, I see. β
Old Davidson looked at Marca, then at the Muggle Queen who had never turned her head to look at him even a moment, and then finally nodded weakly, and turned to the door with a look of loneliness.
In the meantime, the prince beside the queen seemed to make a slight touch with Davidson's gaze while he was looking at him.
At that moment, Maca naturally noticed the prince's eyes, but he didn't care.
When old Davidson walked out of the hall, the side doors closed again, the Muggle Queen and her son once again turned their attention to Marca.
But it was at that moment that Maca suddenly waved her hand in front of the two of them.
It can be found that Her Majesty the Queen, who was closest to him, was still calm and composed, and the prince beside her had a change in expression, but several wizarding guards and Muggle guards standing a little farther away suddenly tensed.
"I've just cast a sound-cancelling spell around us, because the more people know about what I want to say to Her Majesty next, the better."
Marca's voice fell slightly, and she saw the queen on the other side smile and nodded lightly:
"Magic is amazing...... In fact, Mr. McLean was right that our royal family has always been more or less connected to the wizarding world. I remember when I first met a real wizard as a child, and her magic made me wonder for years if I could be called a wizard too...... Unfortunately, it turns out that I don't have that talent. β
"Oh," Maca chuckled at her words, "if you had become a witch, maybe everything would have been completely different now!" β
"Who's to say it isn't?"
As she said this, the queen couldn't help but hide her mouth a little, and showed a smile bigger than just nowβto be honest, even the prince on the side had not seen his mother smile like this in recent years.
However, perhaps the queen has long forgotten how to be an ordinary woman. Such a warm conversation about childhood still contains another deep meaning in essence.
Maca knew that the Muggle queen was deliberately directing the conversation to what she wanted. And Maca's smile echoed it, which was equivalent to expressing no objection to the queen's behavior.
So just as there were smiles on both sides' faces, Maca suddenly reached out and gestured to the coffee table in the middle.
Immediately afterward, Delphi, who had been standing silently behind the sofa since just now, immediately understood, took a very ordinary leather bag from the waist covered by his robe, and stepped forward and placed it in the center of the coffee table.
Then, under the watchful eyes of the Queen and the Prince, she unbuttoned the long leather handbag and flipped it open like a book, revealing five small test tubes stuck inside.
In the next second, the prince didn't react, just looked at the test tubes with a puzzled face, but the queen couldn't help but say slowly after staring at the test tubes a few times:
"Could it beβ"
However, Maca didn't wait for her to finish, and quickly interrupted her with a wave of her hand:
"Nope! Your Majesty, this is not so easy to do! If I had to use an analogy, it might be equivalent to the development of a new drug in Muggle medicine...... Well, maybe with the help of magic, it's a little easier than that. But you have to understand that this is always going to be an unprecedented attempt for everyone. β
"Developing a new drug?"
For the extremely "Muggle-like" analogy of Maca, it is certainly enough to understand with the Queen's insight and wisdom. Not only that, but after she thought about it again, she even took the initiative to ask further:
"Doesn't that mean...... Need to experiment and adjust? β
Seeing that this conversation had finally been mentioned, the smile on Maca's face had not changed at all, but his heart jumped suddenly.
There are some things that he resists.
It didn't matter what the world was looking at, it was simply that his philosophy didn't want him to become a wizard like Helbo, who would stop at nothing to find the truth of magic.
However, the person who forced him to seize all possibilities was none other than Helbo!
"That's right," Maca paused, then took a deep breath and nodded slightly, "and...... Maybe it's going to be a 'lot' of experiments β I need a lot of data. β
At this moment, the queen knew what Maca was talking about, because it was originally a plan she had conveyed to Maca through hints.
And the prince, who was sitting on the side with a confused face, finally deduced a conjecture in these few words of conversation between his mother and the other party.
"Mother, these ......"
The prince could not finish his sentence, for the queen quickly raised his hand slightly, and directly caused him to hold back the question that was about to be blurted out.
Because it is clear that Her Majesty probably does not want to delay any longer at this moment.
"Mr. McLean," she continued directly from Marka, "since you've brought them here tonight, that is...... Oh, there are so many rooms in this manor and ...... underground."
"No, no," Maka shook her head, "In the early days, the process of experimentation was not complicated...... Just get five people, and let the rest out. β
With that, Maca noticed that the queen's style of conduct was obviously very different from her usual elegance and kindness.
She didn't keep Maca waiting long, and as soon as Maca had removed the silence charm, she ordered all the guards to leave the hall, and called five able-bodied Muggle guards to line up in the center of the hall.
But at this time, Maca was not as decisive as the queen, and he stared back and forth at the five guards, as if he was observing their state. But what was actually going on in his heart, even if only Delphi and Kingsley could feel it somewhat.
After a few moments, Maca finally waved at the nearest guard and pointed to the leather handbag containing five test tubes on the coffee table.
"Take one, uncork the oak and drink it in one gulp, one by one."
