Harry Potter’s Book of Sin
Chapter 545 Visiting Fort Blois
This time Maca was invited to the Boothbarton School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in France, not only representing Hogwarts, but also representing himself...In order to maintain his image in front of those French wizards who value dignity, Maca deliberately trimmed his clothes and wrapped himself into an image of a handsome and handsome young man.
Ok!He can only be called a "juvenile" just because he is not tall enough to be tall, and looks always younger than his actual age!
In order to highlight his personal attention to Hogwarts, he also deliberately selected a night horse carriage as the basis for his appearance. The enchanted Hogwarts school emblem on the carriage looked golden, representing the four of the four colleges. This kind of animal is more vivid and lifelike, it is as eye-catching as it is.
Now he is least afraid of swagger, because this time he went to Busbarton and said that he was participating in discussions, but in fact he was going to face-to-face negotiations to compete for benefits.He put it out first, and regardless of whether he can gain an advantage or not, at least his disadvantage will definitely be reduced accordingly.
The people present are all important figures in the magic world. In addition to Mrs. Maxim and the old housekeeper of Le May, there will probably be guys like the president of the International Wizarding Federation and famous and powerful wizards from various countries. Come forward.Just imagine it and you can guess that the scene will definitely be quite chaotic.
At the time when the surface is pleasant and the'color', and the undercurrent is raging under the water, his reputation for defeating the Dark Lord may not allow him to easily take the lead.
Of course, before going to Boothbarton, he had to prepare some time in advance to visit someone in Paris.
...
To put it bluntly, the beautifully decorated night horse carriage is at best a decoration that fills the surface of the door, and Maca naturally does not need it to travel.After bringing the carriage to the French border with the help of the'door' key, he then got into the carriage where the phantasm was cast and flew all the way to Blois.
This huge royal castle is a long time ago for Maca. The scattered castle buildings are put together, but they belong to different architectural styles.Walking in the meantime, it seemed that even time was changing with it, and Maca couldn't help but recall the scenes when he first came here.
Because the barrier that separates it from the Muggle world has a very special'sexuality', wizards who visit Fort Blois must walk to enter. The entrance is only on a staircase, and the real space inside the fort cannot be reached anywhere else.
Maca slowly followed the route in his memory, and soon he saw the spiral staircase.The steps are covered with embroidered and beautiful red and colored carpets, which set off the white and colored marble steps themselves more and more like gold and jade.
He stood at the entrance of the stairs and sensed it left and right, then stretched out his hand directly and patted on the handrail.Suddenly, the whole spirally upward staircase began to fade away layer by layer, extending to the top of the staircase.
After the stairs were completely changed, another slight magical wave moved quietly beside him.Maca knew that this Muggle world and the real internal space of Fort Blois were finally connected.
He didn't wait any longer, and lightly stepped onto the translucent steps. While feeling his magic power resonate slightly with it, he himself gradually began to blur.In the space beyond, it was a wizarding realm that Muggles would never reach.
As he walked up gradually, it didn't take long before he came to a big'door'.The big'door' was open at the moment, and a'maid' servant who didn't seem to be too old stood inside the big'door', and when she saw him, she immediately bowed her face gently.
"Hello! Sir, do you have an appointment here?" The other party asked softly in French.
"Can you speak English?" Maca smiled politely at her, "I'm Maca McLean from Hogwarts, um...Is it an old friend of your master?"
"Please... please wait a moment."
The'maid' servant blinked,
He remembered that the old housekeeper of the Blois family was able to speak fluent English. As for these'maids' servants, they might not be very'proficient'.
The servants of the Blois family were all highly efficient ones, and it didn't take long for the'maid' servant girl to invite the old housekeeper out without surprise.Speaking of which, this is also an old acquaintance, and they both seemed very happy when they met each other.
"Mr. McLean, come, please come in soon—" the old butler warmly invited, "The master already knows about your visit, he is in the study room now, I will take you there!"
"Villy...what about your lady? How is she?" Maca asked while following in the footsteps of the old butler.
"The young lady is'very' good, but since the last time she came home, the host has been reluctant to let her out of the'door'." The old housekeeper shook his head gently, "I can see that, the young lady is very hopeful to return. Go to Hogwarts to continue her studies."
"Mr. Blois is right. Some time ago, the British magical world was not safe. It was okay not to let her pass." Maca nodded and said, "But then, Villy should be fine... …"
The last sentence, he said to himself.
At the beginning, in the underground vault of the Dark Spirit Pavilion, Wei Li took the initiative to unlock the seal on her body and released the inexplicable curse power to unlock a deadlock against Maca.After that, her father took her directly back to the fort to try to re-impose the seal. It is said that the chance of success is still unknown.
Of course, in terms of the effect of the weird blood curse of the Blois family, even if the seal was not re-imposed, Veri did not worry about her life.On the contrary, the curse was actually more like an uncontrollable big killer move, because the people who died under the curse must be people around her.
If you have to make an analogy, Maca today can't help but feel that it may be more like the effect type of the ancient magic mirror before.In addition, it looks like a large-scale disaster that affects the soul, which can cause people to kill each other unconsciously, and they are infinitely powerful.
"Mr. McLean's activity is already known by families like ours who don't go out very much in France. Although it may not have been very safe before, but now, the British magical world has obviously been wiped out. Upon seeing these news, the master I can’t help but praise your magic power..." The old butler said with emotion, "You know, my master rarely praises others."
Hearing what the old butler said, Maca immediately recalled the battle between him and Willie's father.
Although he could not help but shy away from the'hand' that time, in the end it was nothing.However, he also admired the extremely strong Blois Lord.
That guy not only learned the ancient seal magic from the family, but also suspected to have the ancient summoning technique.If it comes to real large-scale group battles, the opponent's deterrence is definitely much greater than Maca, which is more inclined to single duels.
There are records in some ancient books, saying that most ancient magic is rude and powerful, and its performance on the battlefield is surprisingly amazing. That is really correct.
While chatting with the old butler casually, Maca followed the other side around in this huge castle, and after walking for more than ten minutes, he found that he had entered a rather spacious study.
This study room alone has three floors.Looking up from below, there are stairs and one-sided corridors on both sides. Except for a desk deep in the ground floor where Maca is at this time, the rest of the space is occupied by bookshelves.
For wizards, the most important thing is knowledge.The carriers of knowledge are mostly books and papers of various thicknesses.In a family of wizards with a deep heritage, the largest place is usually the study, unless the family has long since given up the accumulation of magic and changed to other directions.
And just opposite the'door' where Maca came in, you could see from a distance Mr. Blois sitting behind the desk, looking at him calmly.
"Hello, Mr. Blois." After all, Maca is a junior, and it is not too much to say hello first.
"McLean...well, Mr. McLean," Blois hesitated for a while, but changed his mouth again. "You can come to Blois as a guest. I am very welcome-come here! Sit down! "
In Maca's impression, Wei Li's father was quite conceited.Probably no one else could make him show a mellow and pleasant look except the baby "girl".
But right now, he felt a jerky enthusiasm in the words and deeds of the other party.
"It's my honor to be your guest." No matter how curious it is, it is not easy to show any rude behavior in front of Wei Li's father. Maca walked forward politely, and then followed. Sitting at the round table next to the other party’s words, “Mr. Blois, I’m also on business this time, so I will stop by and take a look at Villie. Sorry!"
"No, Mr. McLean, you don't have to be so polite." Mr. Blois smiled, sitting behind the desk, "I still know a little bit about what you did in the British wizarding world—you can kill Voldemort. I am also very happy to die. Seriously, if it weren't for me to worry about the little girl, I would have gone to deal with him long ago!"
"Although Mr. Blois did not come in person, I have heard of you using some influence to fight against the Death Eaters," Maca also smiled, "With your help, we can take care of it so quickly. The power of the dark wizards lurking under the surface of the water allows me to'pull out' more power to concentrate and eliminate the stronghold of the Death Eaters."
In fact, with the Order of the Phoenix and some low-level wizards as the intelligence-gathering Maca, it is more than just "heard".Some forces have even penetrated the British Ministry of Magic, and behind it, maybe there is a force launched by Blois Fort.
To be honest, the power disputes in the magical world are really unclear for a while.
