Harry Potter’s Book of Sin
Chapter 1321 Buckingham Palace Tour
When Maca and the others searched all the way to find Kingsley, the latter had already withdrawn from the battlefield with the Queen's Muggle army, and was about to return to Buckingham Palace where the Queen was.
At this moment, after a series of previous coordinated operations, the Muggle army's losses were not small.Even if Kingsley had been able to avoid fighting without fighting in line with the strategy of avoiding war and defending himself, it would have been nearly 20% fewer than when he first entered the battlefield.
Sudden wars in cities like this that cannot use most of the heavy attack weapons, coupled with the fact that the enemy is a large group of "weird" wizards, this is too much disadvantage for the Muggle army.
"The old bishop Mr. Davidson is now at Buckingham Palace persuading the Queen to ask her to leave London temporarily. When we arrive at Buckingham Palace, I will be responsible for escorting her away..."
Right now in front of the Muggle army's marching queue, Kingsley and Maca were sitting on the roof of a Land Rover Defender and talking loudly, discussing some Muggle arrangements.
"It's just," Kingsley said, but shook his head again, "Whether the queen herself will leave or whether the old bishop can persuade her is an unknown."
To say that when there were not many black pupil wizards, the Muggle army's combat effectiveness against those crazy wizards was actually quite impressive, at least not inferior to the wizarding team.
But now, to be honest, most of the people on both sides actually have to evacuate the battlefield first, and hand over the combat tasks to Maca, Delphi, Harry, etc. who can cope with the combat power of the black pupil wizards.
Otherwise, once a battle is encountered, the casualties are too great.
Correspondingly, Her Majesty the Queen, who was considered passable in terms of security, must now move away from this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
"This is London after all!" Maca nodded with some understanding, "I can understand how the Queen wants to stay here... but there is no way, she really has to withdraw, if not, she will use some coercive means. Right!"
For wizards, the Muggle queen is actually indispensable, especially now that this queen is the one who advocates that wizards and Muggles can get along well.Needless to say, Muggle's military strength should not be underestimated. If the relationship is handled well, it is also an important force to deal with Helbo.
Because of this, the Muggle Queen can't have an accident. When it's time to retreat, let her evacuate first!
"That's right," Maca thought for a while, then turned to him, "The Buckingham Palace, have you been attacked during this time?"
Upon hearing this, Kingsley could not help but nod slightly:
"There are natural and there are, but they are not large in scale. They are just sporadic accidental attacks... Mr. Longbottom did a good job. He cooperated with the remaining Auror guards and the Muggle guards to wipe out those guys. ."
"Oh, isn't it?" When Maca heard it, he immediately smiled, "As the queen's wizard guard this time, he is also showing his face. I believe he can leave a good impression on the queen."
Neville was originally the kind of activist who didn't talk too much nonsense, coupled with his usual shy character, he was born with a simple affinity.This time Kingsley and Maca arranged for him to go to the Queen's side as a temporary guard. Naturally, they were not randomly assigned.
In fact, after this London battle, there will inevitably be a collision between wizards and Muggles.Regardless of the outcome, the original separation between the two parties will be broken.
When the time comes, of course, the magic world will hope to live in harmony, even if they can't blend in with each other, at least they won't have too much friction.
At that time, Neville will become the official proof of "friendship" between wizards and Muggles.
So when Kingsley heard Maca say that, he immediately agreed:
"Yeah! And I think... as long as our Mr. Longbottom doesn't make any difference, then it will be time for the'Longbottom Family' to rise again."
"Oh no, don't get involved with the family," Maca immediately waved his hand when he heard it, "It's his business what Neville wants to think, but on the face of it, this matter is only about the individual."
The history and current situation of the pure-blood family is a bloody example, and Maca does not want to get a sense of family honor.
After all, even if Neville himself has no power of greed, who can guarantee that his descendants will not use the hard-earned credit of these ancestors for evil?
Of course, these are just talks between Maca and Kingsley at the moment, and the things they said are still far away!
They could only hear you and me talking casually, and it didn't take long for them to see that the palace in the mist ahead was already far away.
"In a moment we will go directly to the green drawing room, where the queen and the old bishop are."
After Kingsley said these words, it didn't take long before they finally arrived in the front garden of Buckingham Palace.After Kingsley and the remaining officers completed the handover of the team, the group directly passed the guard post at the door and entered the golden and glorious Buckingham Palace.
"How many please here."
"Oh, wait a minute."
After Maca spoke to the Muggle guard who was about to lead the way, he turned around and said to the American President Ifamoni who was accompanying him:
"Mr. Stewart, I'm sorry... Next, we will meet with the Queen of England. There are some conversations between the Ministry of Magic and the British Muggle Royal Family. It may not be convenient for you to be there..."
"Well, of course," Stewart nodded immediately when he heard him say that, "I won't follow up."
Obviously, if Maca didn't mention this, this one would probably just go to the auditorium with a cheeky.But fortunately, after Maca mentioned this a little bit, he immediately took a step back with interest.
"Thank you for your understanding."
Maca smiled at him and gave a salute, and then signaled the Muggle guard to continue leading the way, and Stewart really remained silent at the door, letting another guard take it to the side hall to rest.
"Maca, do I want to go too?" Harry, who had been following him, couldn't help asking.
"If you don't want to go, you don't have to go," Maca shrugged. "However, Neville is over there now...you don't want to see him?"
"Ah!" Harry was taken aback when he heard the words, then nodded, "Okay! I'll go too."
...
The interior decoration of Buckingham Palace is obviously that the very eye-catching gilt pilasters separate the walls. The ceiling is hung with luxurious crystal chandeliers, exquisite and exquisite decorations and various famous paintings on the walls, making the surrounding look exceptionally brilliant.
Maca and others followed the guard all the way in, and soon everyone had arrived at the door of the green living room.When the soldiers went up and went to report the arrival of Maca and others.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please come in."
The next moment, including Thomas and Harry, a group of five people stepped into the living room which was slightly different from the front hall outside.
It can be found that this living room is obviously very different from the lobby outside.The furnishings here are more concise and clear, and even seem to be a waste of space because there are too many empty spaces.However, such a living room that is as extravagant as for ordinary people is obviously much simpler than the other rooms outside.
"Hello, Your Majesty the Muggle Queen...Of course, as well as Mr. Davidson, we haven't seen you for a while."
While Harry was still greeting Neville, who was sitting by, Maca and Kingsley walked directly to the Queen and greeted them politely.
"Hello, Mr. McLean."
Before the queen had spoken, the old bishop spoke first.
"This time, thank you for arranging someone to come over to ensure the safety of Her Majesty the Queen. Two enemies had already rushed to the gate of Buckingham Palace. If Mr. Longbottom were not there, the consequences would be disastrous."
Although this old bishop was once a wizard and his conversational knowledge is quite extraordinary, his magical power has never been very strong.To say that I am grateful for Neville's assistance in defense, it really is sincere, because Neville also protected his own safety.
Before the words finished, the queen sitting in the middle couldn't help but nodded in thanks, showing that Maca's previous guess was accurate.
After hearing the other party's thanks, he took advantage of the trend to be humble for Neville and then turned to:
"Old Mr. Davidson, Your Majesty the Queen, there is one thing I want to ask if I don't know. Has your plan to leave London been confirmed?"
"Oh, this"
When Old Davidson heard this, he couldn't help turning his head to look at the queen.Then, he shook his head somewhat helplessly, lowered his voice and said:
"Your Majesty does not want to leave here."
The old bishop's judgment of the external situation is quite accurate, and obviously, he really wants to let the queen leave this ghost place, so as to prevent the situation from getting worse and even accidents.
But unfortunately, with his face, it seems that he can't persuade the dignified and majestic Muggle queen.
"I have to say that I personally admire Her Majesty the Queen who wants to stay and comfort the victims of the disaster. However, her safety is also related to the people's sentiments! It's just a pity."
The old bishop's voice was deliberately suppressed at first, but when he said it, his voice became a little louder, obviously he was deliberately speaking to the queen.
When Maca saw this, she shrugged and said in cooperation with the other party:
"Yes! In case Her Majesty the Queen... Well, in any case, as far as the external situation is concerned, Her Majesty does need to take shelter for a while. Now the situation in London has deteriorated again, and no one knows what danger will happen next second ... staying here is too risky."
At the same time, Harry obviously didn't care about the Queen's affairs anymore, he was asking Neville about the situation here.Hearing Neville talk about the previous process of protecting the queen, Harry couldn't help telling some of his own combat experiences.
On the other hand, the Muggle Queen's attention stayed more in their conversation.
