"I see, Great-Ancestor Adrien." Xiwen thought for a moment and nodded slowly.

Then, a golden circle of light lit up in the hall of the Rozier family, and disappeared again in the blink of an eye.

Along with it, there was also the figure of Xiwen.

After Xiwen left, the whole hall was quiet, and the violins floating in the air still played pleasant music, but the Christmas atmosphere had dissipated a little.

The Rozier ladies sitting around the table lost the idea of continuing the Christmas dinner, and Xiwen's arrival made them realize that the global wizarding war was still going on, and the entire wizarding world was in dire straits.

The false peace of Christmas is, in the final analysis, nothing more than an illusion created by Grindelwald and the Muggles.

Vader lost her appetite at all, turned to look at Adarian's grandfather, who was sitting on the main seat, and asked, "Do you really want to give the inheritance of the Rozier family to that kid from the country?" ”

Adrien unhurriedly raised the goblet in his hand, took a sip of the high-end Burgundy wine in the glass, and a smile hung on his wrinkled face.

"Don't worry too much, Vader, there are not a few families in the entire Enamel Kingdom that meet the conditions I gave." He smiled at Vader. "What's more, with the hearts of us pure-blood families, who would want to obey the leadership of a fourteen-year-old wizard?"

No anti-theft

"Do you think that Xiwen will really be able to convince the three pure-blood families of the Enamel Kingdom to join his new forces?"

"But what if?" Vader said unrelentingly. "He's only fourteen years old now to be able to have this kind of strength, so what about when he really grows up in three years? What if those unrivaled families saw his potential and were willing to bet on him? ”

"If he can really get the support of three or more pure-blood families, then what's the harm in giving him the inheritance directly?" Adrien chuckled and said calmly. "We needed Shevin to inherit the Rozier family, and you know, he's the only young male in our clan now."

"I don't give him the right to inherit now, it's just that because Xiwen's plan is too risky, he needs to postpone it a little later. If he can indeed subdue three purebloods, then he can prove that he has the ability to influence the situation in the world. In that case, why not let the Rozier family be the core of a pure-blood force? ”

After saying these words, Adrien gently put down the tall crystal cup in his hand, looked at Vader's charming face with a deep gaze, and asked in a deep voice: "Vader, do you really want to give up the entire Rozier family to Grindelwald?" ”

In Adrian's deep gaze, Vader threw the silver knife in his hand into the fine porcelain plate in front of him with a blank face, making a crisp sound.

Then she stood up in silence and looked at her grandfather, a sickly smile suddenly appearing on her lips.

"I finally understand that the same family I just talked about will probably include Rozier." There was no smile in her eyes, but the corners of her mouth were torn apart in disobedience, making the smile on her face pretty and beautiful. "You're right, my grandfather?"

The old man looked at his granddaughter silently, his expression calm, and he did not have the slightest intention of changing his mind.

Seeing this, Vader sneered, and with a "bang", the apparition shifted out of the Rozier family hall.

"Is it really okay to tell Vader your decision directly?" The white-haired old lady next to Adrien, his companion, Edda Rozier, asked worriedly.

"I don't want to hurt Vader's emotions either, but she's so emotionally invested in Grindelwald." When the old man saw Vader leave without hesitation, he couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment and said helplessly. "I'm afraid that in Vaderwald's eyes, the whole family is not as good as a finger of Grindelwald."

"What's more, the Great Wizard standing at the top of the world is not just Grindelwald. The other great wizard, Dumbledore, with the International Confederation of Wizards and the Law of Secrecy behind him, is all ordinary wizards, all Muggle-born wizards. Grindelwald really can't really win! So we couldn't let Vader put all their chips on Grindelwald, and the arrival of Shivin just gave us another chance to bet. ”

"Everything I do is for the sake of the family!"

Adrien sighed softly as he looked at the old face reflected on the crystal cup.

……

At the same time, a city in the south of the country of Fa, Marseille.

A light mist shrouded the waters of the Mediterranean, and from a distance, the shuttle barges seemed blurry, with only little black shadows gliding in the lighthouse lights.

The bustling harbor is lined with sails and boats, and the water surface is stirred by ships, full of waves.

Even though it was already night, on Christmas Eve today, there were still many homecoming wanderers rushing home by cruise ship, hoping to catch the final Christmas dinner.

Leaning on a lamppost, Siwen sat by the water's edge in the port of Marseille, gazing intently at the horizon, barely visible in the night.

In the midst of the crowds, the strange Hogwarts robes on the young wizard's body, and his lonely and silent figure, were out of step with the crowd around him, and passers-by often looked at him curiously.

"Little friend, why did you run away from home on Christmas Eve?" An old woman in thin clothes walked over and smiled kindly at Xiwen. "Hurry up and go home, don't worry your family anymore."

Hearing this concerned greeting, Xiwen's eyes moved.

In fact, he is now using a time turner to go back to his past state. Calculate the time a little, and by this time he should have finished the Christmas dinner with Sandrine.

Thinking of this, Xiwen turned his gaze to this amiable old woman.

"I didn't run away from home, I just waited for someone." He laughed.

"Ahem, did your father also go to the front?" She coughed weakly twice, then smiled kindly again and said to Xiwen. "My son just went to the front to fight this damn war that the Damn Nationals started, and he told me before he left that he would be back before Christmas."

"I've prepared the Christmas dinner, and now I'm waiting for him to come back."

Xiwen was stunned for a moment, and looked at the old grandmother with some unbearability.

He knew that this global war would not end for a while, and that her son might not be able to fulfill his promise.

"No, I'm not waiting for my father." Xi Wenqiang smiled and persuaded. "It's so cold out here, you can go home and wait for your son! He doesn't want to see you cold, does he? ”

The old lady shook her head and said gently but firmly, "I want to see him as soon as he returns to Marseille." ”

Looking at the resolute grandmother, Xiwen was silent, not knowing what to say.

At that moment, a luxurious cruise ship docked at the edge of the harbor, and a brown-skinned man stepped out of the ship, looked at the faces around him, and easily spotted Xiwen's unique Hogwarts attire.

So he went straight to Xiwen and the old grandmother.

"Shevin Rozier?" He asked, looking at the little wizard in the green Slytherin scarf.

"I think we're going to meet for the second time, Mr. Kama." Xiwen bowed his head.

Then he looked at the old grandmother and said goodbye to her, "Grandma, the person I was waiting for has arrived, so I won't be here with you for now." ”

"It seems that this man is indeed not your father." The old woman glanced at the man's complexion and nodded firmly, "Then go quickly, don't get cold outside with me, an old woman." ”

"Goodbye, Grandma."

Before leaving, Xiwen quietly waved the wand in his sleeve to the old woman.
