Harry Potter’s Book of Sin
Chapter 574 Dinner and Discovery
Maca is not a guy who can especially enjoy in luxury.
To be precise, he actually wanted to indulge in enjoyment.But reality often joked with him time and time again, so that he has never been able to linger in those prosperous and luxurious places with peace of mind.
Therefore, when he was in the luxurious banquet hall of Boothbarton this time, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Of course, this discomfort has long been deeply buried in his heart, and no one will notice it.His style has always been like this-whether it is his strengths or possible weaknesses, he will hide them all and meet the eyes of others with a dripping attitude.
The dinner party has already begun, and the long table is full of rich French dishes, each of which will make you appetite.Maca, who loves to enjoy food on weekdays, is naturally no exception.
Tonight, Mrs. Maxim gave him a good place-it was on the innermost side of the long table.Although this is actually a more important seat, even today, when the forces are gathered, it can still be divided into three, six or nine.But Maca's trip is not only a representative of Hogwarts, but he has become famous recently, and sitting here is not much inferior to the others in his vicinity.
It's just that, after all, he is sitting here, after all, everyone needs to think about it to determine whether he is qualified.As for Vannie, who is in charge of the Blois Castle family, no one would doubt it.
It can be said that Maca, a young wizard who has only recently emerged, is lighter than the Blois family in terms of its weight in everyone's hearts.The victory and defeat between him and the Dark Lord was actually not very clear in the eyes of many forces in the world of magic, let alone his magical power that could shake people's hearts.
This time Maca came to Boothbarton, and has always been with Fannie since he appeared. Many forces will still think that Maca McLean climbed the Blois family instead of going. I thought it was the Patriarch of the Blois family who wanted him.
If you look closely, you can see that Vannie is sitting next to Maca, staring at her secretly, I'm afraid it's more than looking at Maca.
"Do you seem to be very concerned?" Maca said with a chuckle.
But after Fannie heard it, she just shook her head slightly.
As a steward of the Blois family, she has certainly attended many banquets.Especially when the patriarch clearly stated that he wanted to keep a low profile, he himself did not show up in many activities, so most of the formal occasions fell on their own stewards.
At least in name, they are also descendants of the Blois family, which is not a problem.
So in fact, Fannie is much more adaptable than Maca for this kind of official business.Those eyes that wandered around, she had long been accustomed to, and they could all be ignored as air.
"Sir, please taste this--" Fannie took a plate of delicate and tender foie gras from the front, and gently placed it by Maca's hand. "I have tried it. This is fried foie gras. The preparation is ingenious and the sauce is unique. I haven't seen it elsewhere. I want to come, this must be Bussbarton's unique recipe, and it's really worth trying."
After she recommended this plate of fried foie gras to Maca, she took advantage of the opportunity to face Maca, and she whispered a few words to Maca.After Maca heard it, her expression remained calm on the surface, but in her heart what Vannie had said.
In fact, Fannie suddenly told Maca that when she was observing the surroundings just now, she had discovered an acquaintance.That person, like her, was also a steward of Fort Blois, but one of the stewards of foreign surnames who specialized in managing those small and medium-sized family businesses.
Right now, the steward was sitting in a seat near the middle of the long table, seeming to be mixed with members of one party.
Duo Fannie couldn't elaborate, but she still explained a few more critical questions to Maca.According to family rules, Guan Shi is not allowed to have too deep intersection with other forces, let alone participate in major activities in the name of other forces like it is now.
The Blois family's rules are quite strict, and the management of those foreign surnames may even be a little harsh.If it is discovered by the family under such circumstances, it will undoubtedly be removed from the role of steward, and those with serious circumstances will be directly expelled from the Blois family.
Because of this, once someone with a foreign surname attends an important occasion without authorization, most of them are relying on it, and it is even unknown that they came by following the orders of some people in the family.
This matter is related to the internal affairs of the Blois family. It stands to reason that Maca is not suitable for intervention, but this time it is different.Since Mr. Blois sent Vannie to follow him, it means that his title on this trip has been marked with the surname "Blois", and he can really take care of this matter.
What's more, now the Blois family is also a bargaining chip for him, and other people cannot be allowed to come in.According to the words Villi’s father said to him before he left Fort Blois, it can be known that Mr. Blois intends not to participate in the alchemy legacy incident for the time being, and it is obvious that there is someone else in charge of that foreign name.
"Mr. McLean," while Maca was still thinking about it for a while, Akinbad, the president of the International Wizarding Federation sitting in front of him, suddenly called him, "Farewell to Hogwarts last time. , It’s been a while. Unexpectedly, after that, you actually defeated Voldemort, and even Greenward, who had harmed all of Europe, fell under your hands... Mr. Dumbledore was really not at the beginning. You are wrong, your potential is unimaginable!"
After hearing the words, Maca nodded at him politely.
"Mr. President praised, if it weren't for the efforts of the rebels that everyone didn't know, I would definitely not be able to do so many things alone." He said sincerely, "Compared to my achievements. , I still hope that the chairman can give more praise to those selfless rebels."
"...You British wizards are too modest." The wizard sitting on the other side rushed together, listening to his tone, it seemed that there was some disapproval.
Maca doesn't know who it is, but the people who can sit around here are mostly some well-known wizards.Hearing that the person was vaguely a little bit yin and yang, Maca didn't run him back because Akinbad spoke first.
"Mr. Lapan, I think this is probably not the humility of the British wizard." He objected solemnly and courteously. "In a resistance against a powerful dark force, there will always be a lot of unsung heroes. The place appeared and then disappeared. This is the truth that many events in history have had."
The old Mr. Akinbad said here for a while before continuing:
"I believe that in the process of the British magical world's resistance to the Dark Lord, there are also so many people who sacrificed themselves for the reappearance of light. And Mr. McLean should be referring to them."
"Mr. President is right," Maca nodded repeatedly, raised the cup and gestured to him, "Thank you for your understanding-for those unsung heroes who sacrificed their lives for ambition!"
"For those unsung heroes." Old Mr. Akinbad also raised his glass and repeated.
"Mr. Lapan" who was hiding in the words just now twitched the corners of his mouth, but he didn't say anything strange, instead he raised his glass.
Most of the people present are not vulgar people, even most of them are elite wizards who have paid attention to etiquette training since childhood.Perhaps there will be some paranoia in the concept, or maybe a little festering from the root, but the superficial etiquette is rarely lost.
Since people know that it will end when it is clicked, Maca will naturally not catch it.Seeing that Mr. Akinbad asked another Egyptian wizard about some of the current situation of the pyramid, Maca also joined in along with the content of their conversation, cursing part of the academic magazines that have been published in recent years. It shows some views that are not very in-depth.
Most wizards are like this, and the content of the chat is basically inseparable from magic, especially when certain aspects become their profession.
Although Mr. Akinbad is the president of the International Federation of Wizards, he is also the honorary principal of the African Wagga School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He specializes in the curse classification of magic science.At this time, the person who told the recent news about the pyramids was the deputy dispatcher of the Egyptian Pyramid Exploration Center. What popped out of his mouth was the first-hand information about the pyramid exploration.
While eating and chatting for a long time, the sumptuous and luxurious dinner gradually came to an end.Maca, who likes food and all kinds of magic theories, really feels a little bit unfinished.
When Mrs. Maxim stood up and seemed to be planning to speak, Maca also took this opportunity to make an appointment with the deputy dispatcher, who could write letters and talk more about the exploration of the pyramid.
"I believe you all have eaten and drank enough, so please take a short break," Mrs. Maxim said loudly, "Maybe everyone is already waiting, but after all, the food is still slowly digesting in the belly—— You can take advantage of this short period of time to take a walk in the garden, and after a while, the dance party tonight will officially begin!"
Maca knew that this would also be the last chance for those who have not found their first dance partner.Some people have just arrived in Boothbarton today, so you have to give them some time, right?
He and Fannie looked at each other, and then stood up with some of them, ready to take a stroll outside.
