"Patriarch, Master Augustin came to visit suddenly, saying that he wanted to discuss the specific countermeasures with our Witt family about completing the marriage contract..."

In the study room upstairs in the Witt family mansion, the old Patriarch was listening indifferently.

He didn't know why this Mario Augustine appeared at this time, and he didn't even know how the opponent came over.You know, the black market can't get in or out now, right?

Well, is it possible that the young master went shopping here before the black market was blocked?

Of course, if you really want to get in and out, the Witt family like them naturally has a way.What the old Patriarch is more concerned about now is the real purpose of Mallor's sudden visit.

"... Patriarch, if it's not convenient for you, let's find a reason for him to go back first?"

The steward who could hear the report said so, and the old Patriarch waved his hand casually.

"No, the heir of the Augustine family, I still want to see." He secretly calculated, "How many people have come here? Did they let them in?"

"Oh! Of course, I have asked them to go to the side hall to rest..."

Seeing the old Patriarch's question, the steward nodded immediately.

"But there are very few people here, including the Master Augustine-and the other maid seems to be accompanying him."

"Well," the old patron nodded, "Rangba—"

The old Werther Patriarch just wanted to habitually call Barno to receive him, but he soon realized the key.Immediately, he shook his head in a daze.

"Let Charlie go! And you too... I will change my clothes and go down in a while."

After the steward nodded and hurriedly turned and left, the old Patriarch looked at the closed door again and sighed slightly.

"The Augustine family sent him over, what are they trying to do?"

Of course, the old Patriarch Witt just thought that Mallor came here according to their family's decision.Hmm... Maybe, the Augustine family knew about the appearance of Helbo from some channels?

"Huh, if there is only one person, maybe it is more likely to have come to take refuge... I wandered around the black market and found that I could not get out, so come to us to find out the situation? Well, maybe you need to stay overnight. ."

The old Patriarch obviously ignored Miriam who was walking with Mallor subconsciously.

And while the home owner of Witt was thinking about it, and sometimes muttering to himself, Maca, who was still invisible, was actually standing next to the old man's desk.Just a few seconds after the manager knocked on the study door, he had stepped in.

At this time, the Maca who had also heard the report just now, the direction of thinking was completely opposite to that of the old Patriarch.

"'Mallor Augustine'... Will the other person who will follow Miriam?" He stood still, silently thinking, "This time Charlotte’s marriage contract has been mentioned again. It should be It started from the Augustine family...In addition to that Mallor who came to Hogwarts before, there was Miriam in the crowd behind him."

Thinking of this, Maca couldn't help but curl his lips.

"Let's observe again for a while! If that Miriam is really the'culprit' who encouraged the Augustine family to make trouble, then things will be interesting..."

Seeing that Witt’s old Patriarch had stood up, Maca freely gave way and let him go to the inner room of the study to change his clothes.

In fact, at the beginning, he wanted to show up and "chat" with the old patron after he came into the study, but now he feels that there may be more gains in waiting.

...

At the same time, the side hall of the Witt House downstairs.

Compared with the main hall where the "wound" has just been repaired and many decorations have not had time to make up, this side hall has not changed much.

Finely colored woven carpets, soft and comfortable sofas, magical oil paintings on the walls, and house elves that appear when holding a large tray.

The riots caused by the destruction of the exit outside,

Of course, at least that's what Mario felt.

As for whether this is the relaxed atmosphere specially created by the Werther family, outsiders cannot tell.

Speaking of Mario, he actually felt a little uncomfortable right now.It may be the indulgence of the previous afternoon that made him feel more disgusted at this moment of hypocritical communication than usual.

And the two Witte family stewards sitting not far from him were the biggest source of boredom in his heart.

"Mr. Augustine, I heard that you also like to watch Quidditch games? I have to say that it has less connotation than the'ten-post bocce game,' but it is more exciting. It is like ours Wizard, the excitement in life is indeed a bit too little, and we need to use this type of entertainment to better add vitality..."

As the guy named Charlie kept talking, Mallio's heart was numb.But no matter how uninterested he was, he had to go and agree.

Otherwise, he would feel embarrassed himself in case of a cold show.

"Oh, yes! Charlotte also likes Quidditch very much. I heard she was in school—"

As Manager Charlie was talking, he suddenly felt a touch on his calf, and he immediately reacted.Obviously, the current topics involving Hogwarts are not suitable for mentioning, especially in front of Mallor.

Although... for Mario himself, there is no taboo at all.

"Ah! I suddenly remembered something..."

After a few seconds of pause, Manager Charlie turned the subject off abruptly.

"Mr. Augustine, please be sure to taste the tea that our family bought from several oriental wizards. Although you may not be comfortable with the bitter taste at first, you will become as obsessed with it as we are when you get used to it! "

Mario managed to squeeze a fairly natural smile, but he kept sighing in his heart.

While sitting on the sofa feeling the long time, Miriam, who could only stand aside as a "follower", was watching the situation in the side hall calmly.

Unlike Mario, who is mainly responsible for stabilizing the scene, even though Milian doesn't have to speak or walk, she has more things to do.

For example, in order to ensure that Asaph, who will inevitably come back later, can successfully complete the mission, she has to collect information about this time with her eyes and brain.

Under the premise that everyone in the Witt family seems to be trying to hide something, digging out more things from their words and deeds-this is obviously a very difficult task.

"It seems that when McLean hit the door, many people here should have seen it... Well, the wizard seems to be thinking about something... and that person's face is not quite right..."

Because of the conflict between Maca and the Witt family, the witnesses were almost exclusively members of the Witt family.At first Asaph was here, but it didn't take long to be scared away by a look in Helbo's eyes.

Therefore, Miriam had to rely on observations to make speculations for the time being, in order to find out how much the conflict had left over to the Witt family.

But looking at it, even Miriam, who had undergone similar training, couldn't help but shook her head secretly.This kind of mess is really not done by humans.

But at this moment, there was a mixture of light or heavy footsteps, and suddenly came from the corridor.As soon as she heard it, she knew that it was the old Patriarch Witt who had come down in person, surrounded by the people.

Not long after, when the old Patriarch slowly appeared in the side hall, Mallor and the two stewards who were talking with him also got up and faced the senior wizard with the highest status in the audience.

"Mr. Witt, on behalf of the family, Mario Augustine, I would like to extend my sincere greetings to you! This time I suddenly came to harass, and please forgive me for my presumption.

For this solemn courtesy of Mallor, Old Witt didn't seem to care so much.

"Oh, it's an Augustine child..." He waved his hand gently, his large white beard trembling slightly, "Come on, sit down! You're welcome..."

Not far away, Miriam silently followed Mallor and saluted, and then consciously retracted into the crowd next to her.Although she is not a member of the Werther family, after standing inside, she also seemed extremely harmonious.

In addition, the old patron didn't pay much attention to her, and in a blink of an eye, she was completely integrated into the surrounding "background".

Only Maca, who was invisible and followed by, stared at the woman immediately after spotting Miriam.

Not long after, Maca discovered that Miriam's eyes were always moving around in a very concealed manner, and the exploratory look of Maca was very familiar.

He still remembered that he had seen this kind of sight on many guys who were responsible for "stepping on" when he was messing around in the Muggle world in the past.

"Are you looking for something? Preparing for some future plans?"

Maca pondered a little, and then immediately put this discovery in his heart.

He is sure that something will happen after this, and it is the kind he had better not miss!

Within a few minutes of his observation of Miriam, Mallor had already gone to the dining table with the old Patriarch Witt to sit down.In fact, it was already time for dinner by this time, but in order to entertain the guest of Mallor, the Werther family began to set up a table for a banquet in this side hall.

The so-called ancient wizard family, to put it bluntly, are the nobles of the Muggle world in the past-although this cannot be generalized, in many cases, this can actually be an equal sign.

Especially in ancient times, many wizards were secretly colluding with the Muggle Kingdom, and many of them were even given corresponding titles.

As far as the Wit family is concerned, it is actually pretty good.

"Child, you don't have to be polite, let's have something to eat!" The old patron said with a smile, sitting on the main seat, "Of course, maybe you want to say something during the dinner as a topic for our small talk?"
