Harry Potter’s Book of Sin
Chapter 218
In this magnificent side hall, sumptuous dishes are arranged on the long dining table, exuding a seductive aroma.In the crystal clear wine glass, the amber liquor showed a faint halo under the light.
In the portraits hanging on the wall, the wizards of the Witt family exchanged their eyes, just like those family members on both sides of the table, silent.
Probably because of Maca’s sudden trouble, no one is in the mood to touch the exquisite food on the table.
During the short period of time waiting for Charlotte to come, the air became a little dignified.
However, when the door of the much-anticipated side hall was pushed open, the most embarrassing thing in the audience was Maca with a subtle smile on his face.
Uncle, did you recognize me until now?
"McLean..."
Seeing Charlotte's firm expression on his face, Maca couldn't help but feel a stomachache.
"Good evening...Senior sister?" He regained his mood, but the smile on his face became more and more weird. "I wonder if Senior Sister is doing well these days? I heard...you are getting married?"
As he spoke, he stood up and walked towards her.
"……so what."
Charlotte's eyes flickered, trying to suppress the complex emotions in his heart, and replied coldly with a tight face.
Fortunately, it is rare that the play-blind Laozi gave birth to a queen-daughter, which seems to be saved.
Maca stood still in front of Charlotte, but in comparison with Charlotte, who was tall and long in legs, everyone found that Maca was actually a few inches shorter than her.
It wasn't until this moment that many members of the Werther family realized for the first time that this sometimes elegant and calm, sometimes surly and manic guy was actually just a young man several years younger than Charlotte.
Once aware of this, the originally comical contrast added a heaviness to the hearts of everyone present.
What kind of power is it that allowed this young man to suppress the audience in front of his old Patriarch?Is it his family background?Obviously, the reason is far from that simple...
Shorter than Charlotte, Maca is naturally quite aware-he has been "looking up" at her since the beginning of enrollment, and until Charlotte graduated, he did not have the opportunity to break this visual relationship.
But now, this contrast can become an effective psychological suggestion.
The deterrence caused by his previous blow that forced back several family members at the door was invisibly enlarged by this kind of psychological hint.
Just as everyone at the table was dignified, even the old Patriarch showed a thoughtful expression, Maca suddenly spoke up——
"Senior sister, haven't you been yearning for the so-called "freedom"? How... marrying Augustine is the "freedom" you want?"
He stared intently at Charlotte's eyes, with a slight mockery in his tone.
"For this stupid belief, destroy my perfect plan at Hogwarts... If it wasn't for your stupid behavior that delayed my time, the Philosopher’s Stone would have been mine!"
The word "Sorcerer's Stone" easily caused a commotion among the members of the Werther family.
At first, the Sorcerer's Stone caused a disturbance at Hogwarts, but apart from the parties involved, even the vast majority of students did not know the specific situation.
Of course, the fact that the Philosopher's Stone has been destroyed is even more unknown.
Now, when this world-famous masterpiece of alchemy was spoken from Maca's mouth, it immediately aroused the desire for greed in everyone's hearts.
"But Nick LeMay's Philosopher's Stone?"
The owner of the old family has a large white beard, and he is the oldest in the audience. If you want to say anxious, of course he is the most anxious.
After all, not every old man is as intelligent as Dumbledore and has seen through the mystery of life and death.
Maca slowly turned his head, sharp eyes flashing in his eyes.
"It is indeed the Philosopher's Stone of Nick LeMay-the Sage's Stone." He calmly said, "The pinnacle of alchemy that connects spirit and material.
"Now? Where is it? Is it still at Hogwarts?" The old Patriarch could hardly conceal the impatience in his heart, and he immediately asked.
But Maca smiled secretly and said meaningfully: "I don't know if Mr. Witt knows, Voldemort...has been resurrected?"
The old Patriarch's complexion immediately changed. Could it be that...
"I don't know if Mr. Witte knows that he has now recovered his youthful appearance?"
"This..." The old Patriarch froze for a moment, "Can the Magic Stone restore his appearance?"
Maca shrugged and said: "I don't know about it, I only know... He was possessed by a professor when he fled Hogwarts, he was holding the magic stone in his hand..."
"If it wasn't for your granddaughter who insisted on arguing with me about'freedom', it would have wasted my time...huh..."
I have to say that Nick Lemay is a great alchemist who has surpassed the limit, and the masterpiece of his heyday has surpassed the entire world.
Once, many families and individuals tried their best to capture the seemingly ordinary but miraculous stone.
It's a pity that Nick Lemay has superb alchemy. He can easily disappear with his wife. Many wizards who yearn for wealth and immortality can't find him.
But now, when the old Patriarch heard that the Sorcerer's Stone was actually in Voldemort's hands, he knew the opportunity had come!
Although the so-called Dark Lord is powerful, their Werther family is not vegetarian.In the case of a head-on collision, they will not fear anyone.
However, after a while of excitement, the old Patriarch forced himself to calm down again.
"Mr. Diher, you are so young...are you also interested in the'Sorcerer's Stone'?"
Maca glanced at him, then smiled contemptuously.
"Young?" He looked up and down at his old Patriarch, then shook his head, "Oh, do you think I would be interested in the'elixirs'?"
The old Patriarch secretly said, "Sure enough," the Diher family are all crazy people obsessed with magic research. Just because the research process went wrong, several of them killed themselves.
It seems that this genius boy in front of him has obviously inherited the "excellent" tradition of the Diher family.
"Oh... of course not!" The old Patriarch smiled and said, "For the sake of research at all costs, this is the quality that every wizard should possess!"
As if he had heard a rare wise saying, Maca raised his eyebrows, showing an expression of approval.
"It seems that Mr. Witt understands it too!" He grinned with satisfaction, "As far as I am concerned,'turning stones into gold' and'refining elixir' are just by-products of the magic stone. , Its mysterious power to communicate spirit and matter is the true mystery of that magic stone!"
"So, our intentions don't seem to be in conflict anymore..." the old Patriarch said suddenly, "Mr. Diher, I have a private transaction here. I wonder if you are willing to accept it?"
What he wants to say next, Maca wants to know with a certain round part.But after all, he was the one who brought this result all the way, and now it's time to reconcile. Of course, he can only suppress the soul of Tucao in his heart.
"Please speak!" Maca waved his hand casually.
"As long as Mr. Diheer can study and use the Philosopher's Stone together, then Charlotte will let you take it away for disposal today, we will have nothing to say." The old Patriarch said.
This is a bit different from what he thought.Obviously, there seems to be something hidden in the Werther family that they gave up the opportunity to take the initiative...
Is it because of the deterrence of the "Diher family"?Maca himself was the first to believe this answer.
According to his understanding, there are obviously several other families of ancient wizards, but why would they hide silently in the dark?
Are there any scruples?Or are you planning something shameful?
Of course, this is not the time to think about this, let's solve the immediate matter first!
Maca snorted coldly and pointed to Charlotte and said, "Just rely on her? Can it be compared to half a sage stone? Mr. Witte, are you kidding me?"
Charlotte had a pretty face with a cold face, and said that if she had a chance to leave here, she would have to exert her energy to give this junior boy who dared to say anything to come on.
After grasping the eager psychology of the other party, this kind of playful trick will show great effect when he hides his true intentions.
What's more, what he said is also very true.From the perspective of the members of the Werther family, it was a bargain to trade a Charlotte for half the right to use the magic stone.
If Maca doesn't bargain, it will really arouse suspicion.
Sure enough, the old Patriarch nodded immediately and said: "Of course it's more than that! Mr. Diher, if you have anything you want, as long as our Witte family has it, you can consider it."
This is what you are waiting for!
"I want to borrow the magic book "Abatel"!" Maca said unceremoniously.
After hearing this, the old Patriarch's face suddenly stiffened.
The magic book of the Werther family is too famous, and the reason why it is so famous is because of the scandal in the family.
"Ahem...can you change one?" The old family master took a deep breath, "Abatel is the inheritance of our Werther family. Even family members need to go through a lot of screening before reading..."
He is not surprised at this request of Maca, not at all!
Because of that family scum back then, this family secret magic book has become almost universally known.Even though the Werther family has been completely low-key now, everyone who should know already knows.
But can that thing be taken out as a trade item?
Maca shrugged and said, "In that case...I want to choose a few books from your family's collection to borrow--not including "Abatel", is this always okay?"
From the very beginning, he didn't expect to see the famous and mysterious magic book so easily.
