The one who sent Daniere's family was Minerva Hudson, who now holds the position of vice-chancellor.

I had a relationship with Char in the past.

Around the time of Gayward's escape, Char went to Hogwarts to meet Abb once, where she was reporting to her about the new students.

However, she is now over a hundred years old, and the long years have given her many experiences with Muggle families.

She was standing in front of the door of Daniere's house, and Minerva was wearing a large magic robe and a large pointed hat on her head, similar to the legendary witch.

However, she doesn't have a pointed nose, and although the years have left many marks on her face, it is definitely not ugly.

On the contrary, her straight sitting posture and raised neck have a noble temperament like a white swan, like an old lady in an old aristocracy.

She raised her hand and knocked lightly on the door.

Soon, the door slowly opened, and Daniele opened the door for Minerva, who raised his head and looked at Minerva curiously, looking at her classic magical outfit, he immediately understood where Minerva came from.

He turned his head to look at his father.

"Dad, the guys from that school are here!"

Minerva looked at the house through the crack in the door.

It's a house at the foot of the Alpine Ranch, some distance from the town, but on a high vantage point overlooking the town.

The house was built of wood mixed with earth, and it was also a type of timber-reinforced house, which was common in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

However, with the advancement of mecha technology and the emergence of new building materials such as cement, this kind of house is very backward.

The house is covered with wooden floors, and there is no shortage of wood in the Alps, so it should be made of local materials.

The furnishings of the room are also very simple, with a table and a hearth for fireplace and cooking, similar to Char's earliest house, but the surrounding walls are covered with many specimens of prey.

For example, a bear skin, a deer head, and even some leopard skins are all prison beasts, but obviously, there are no such strict laws in this era.

Leiden sat down in front of the hearth, adding wood to the hearth, on which a kettle full of water was heating.

"Come in." Layton said.

"Please come in." Daniel hurriedly said to Minerva.

Minerva slowly took off her hat and walked into the room, where she looked at Layden.

"Mr. Layton Duke, you must have known what I was here for, and the owl of the school had already sent the letter in advance."

Layton slowly turned his head to look at Minerva.

"You know my name?"

"Schools generally do some surveys on the families of students who are enrolled." "It's easier to get to know the students and teach them according to their aptitude." ”

She looked at Leiden, "Leiden Duke, you are a former veteran of West Francand, and have fought in world wars, even in the Berlin Blitz led by Joan of Arc and the classic Battle of Verdun, right?"

You were one of the generals who resigned from their positions and rushed into Germany to rescue Joan of Arc.

He was imprisoned by German intelligence for more than a month, and was eventually released after a peace treaty between the two sides.

You are Joan of Arc's lieutenant, and your military exploits are enough to ask for a major general in West France.

But after the war, you gave up everything and chose to graze at the foot of the Alps incognito.

Your son was born here, too, but it's a pity, your wife."

"That's enough." Layton stopped Mineva from continuing, looking at her with a sharp look in his eyes, "Your intelligence system is really powerful. ”

Danielle looked at his father with his eyes slightly open, and to be honest, it was the first time he knew that his father had such a story in the past.

"Magic saves a lot of time." Minerva said with her head raised slightly.

Her eyes were full of wisdom, as if everything was under control.

"It takes a lot of effort for you to investigate like this, but for us, it might just be a matter of magic."

Layton fell silent.

Having seen the dragon and the spear slaying it, Darniere's father was not as skeptical of magic as the rest of the Muggle family.

He's more worried about the unknown.

He didn't know anything about the school, and he didn't know what his son would go through when he went there.

"What does this school of yours do?" Layton said.

"Teach students like your son how to use the power in themselves." "Your son's magic has begun to awaken, and if he is not properly channeled, there is a danger that his magic will run wild, threatening his own life and the lives of those around him. ”

"Mana Runaway?" Layton frowned.

"You can imagine a timed dynamite in your son's body, exploding at some point, maybe never, maybe the next moment.

And we're teaching your son how to control this explosive. Mineva said.

Layton looked at Daneva, "I never believed that there was no such thing as a free lunch. ”

"Since the school was founded by Merlin, its main function has been to provide fresh blood to the wizarding world.

Just like the school in the world, the school provides fresh blood and high-level talents for the society, and the wealth created by the talents is fed back to the country.

The state reinvests in schools, creating a virtuous circle.

Although the wizarding world is not a country, the school also exists to create such a virtuous circle that will promote the progress of the entire wizarding world. ”

Layton nodded silently.

And Mineva's words continue.

"Hogwarts is mainly a boarding school because of the lack of transportation, but we do have two long holidays every year, one for the summer and one for the winter break around Christmas.

Students can go home and be reunited with their families at this time. ”

After a pause, Minerva continued, "Are you worried about your child's life at school? ”

Without waiting for Leiden to reply, Mineva continued.

"There are public phone booths inside the school, and parents can keep up to date with their children's presence at school over the phone.

At the same time, the school also organizes a number of activities every year, and parents can also support their children, participate in activities, and learn about their children's school and school life. ”

After a pause, Mineva raised her hand, and a quaint parchment scroll appeared on her hand, showing the family's information.

"Your family has encountered a dragon in the past, right?"

Layton and Daniel looked up in unison.

"We have our own source of information." Mineva laughed.

But soon, her smile gradually retracted and became very serious, "In the future, there will be more and more similar magical events in this world."

The world is changing, and there are many people who will be unable to cope with this change, but your child has the talent and the opportunity to keep up with this change.

Are you sure you want to pass up this opportunity? ”

Daniel turned his head and looked at his father expectantly.

Layton took a deep breath, and after a long silence, he finally spoke.

"The child's mother died early, and we have been dependent on each other until now.

But I know that even if you have a lot of worries, you shouldn't stand in the way of your own children. ”

He slowly raised his head and looked into Minerva's eyes.

"I hope that all this you say is true and not deceptive."

Minerva smiled, "If you're really unsure, you can come to the opening banquet together, and we allow Muggle parents who are not worried to accompany their children to the school tour." ”

Hearing this, Leiden was also relieved, and then he picked up the admission letter and said.

"Where do you go to bring your own cauldron, a magic wand for casting spells, a few sets of changing magical apprentice robes, textbooks for the first semester of Hogwarts, and some small pets?"

"That's why I'm here." Minerva smiled, she raised her hand and handed a gilded ticket to Leiden, "The day after tomorrow, at six o'clock in the morning, you take the children to this place, then I will also be there, and there will be a chosen one similar to you, I will take you ......"

The corners of Mineva's mouth lifted slightly, revealing a mysterious smile.

“…… Let's see the world of magic. ”

Layton took the business card, which stated the departure time and an unfamiliar address.

[West France State Cross train station - platform 9. 】

……

Watching Mineva leave, Daniel looked up at his father curiously.

"Dad, is it true that she said you used to be Joan of Arc's lieutenant?"

There are two Joan of Arc in West Farland, one is Joan of Arc, who led the people of West Francis against the invasion of the Britons in the Hundred Years' War.

The other is naturally Joan of Arc, who led the army of West France against German aggression ten years ago.

Both of them have the same name and do the same thing.

So there are many people who think that the latter is the reincarnation of the former, a messenger from God.

At the end of the biography of Joan of Arc, it is described that when she was about to be brutally burned to death by the evil German invaders, the gods appeared to save her and take her to heaven.

There is quite a taste of merit consummation and feathering and soaring.

In fact, there are not many strange places in the whole biography, but it is because of this last paragraph that the legendary female general is shrouded in a veil of mystery.

Of course, the mainstream view is that this story is just a glorification, and that the real Joan of Arc has long since died at the stake in that cruel and sinful fire.

Although many in Germany claim to have witnessed a miracle, the vast majority believe that it was an excuse given by the Germans to clear their sin of killing Joan of Arc.

Layton used to tell Danielle stories about Joan of Arc, so he was no stranger to it.

"Sort of." Layton muttered softly.

"Then why don't you stay in the army?" Daniel said suspiciously, "She said you can be a general." ”

"Because of disappointment."

"Disappointed?" Darniere was even more puzzled, as if he wanted to ask something, but he listened to Layton continue earnestly.

"There are many things that you can't understand at this age, and they are not what you should understand at your age.

If you could, I would like you to promise me one thing in the future. ”

Layton looked at him earnestly.

"Never touch politics, it's dirty and disgusting."

Daniel nodded as if he didn't understand
