Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

Chapter 587 Unexpected Rejection

"...The gentlemen of the Miller Farley family over there, do you have anything to say about Martin's management?"

Under Maca's abrupt change of subject, many people seemed a little WwΔW. "kge" ge. La

What they didn't know was that Maca had been talking about Fanny of the Bulova family well, but all of a sudden, he pointed his looming sharp edge at the seemingly unrelated Miller Farley family.

But when he said this, all the wizards present looked over there, and a few people really noticed the tension on the face of the representative of the Miller Farley family. Although the expression was only fleeting, but if it wasn't dazzled, it probably meant that there were still some unknown connections hidden in it.

"Several gentlemen, do you...have nothing to say?"

Seeing that their faces changed slightly and they remained silent, Maca seemed rather embarrassed, so he urged again.

The Miller Farley family, like the Blois family, is also a wizarding family in mainland France. Of course, compared to the latter, although the Miller Farley family has a rather peculiar family history, it is much shallower in terms of background.

According to Fanny, this family was an ordinary mixed-blood wizard family in the past. It has been making and selling pastries and desserts for a living for generations. It can be said that there is nothing unusual about it.

However, under the inspiration of a certain generation of ancestors, this family took advantage of a certain war to change their appearance and washed away the mixed blood of their ancestors, and became a pure blood family in the magic world after the war . And for a period of time since then, because they have some money and a false status, they complement each other and really made them famous and rich.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. Their so-called "pure blood" was finally investigated by the Ministry of Magic's pre-war archives restoration work. Although by that time, whether or not pure blood was no longer the top argument in the magic world, the reputation of the Miller Farley family was trampled thousands of times by the public opinion, and it completely stinks.

Today, the Miller Farley family is barely able to gain a foothold in the upper-middle class of the French magic circle in terms of wealth only by relying on the continuous hard work of generations of clan members. If it weren't for the fact that the members of their family were still quite clever, the surname Miller Farley would have disappeared from the French magic world long ago.

But it was precisely because the status of this family was so embarrassing that there was room for them to be wooed by the previous greedy Steward Martin. If it was replaced by other more powerful forces, it would be extremely difficult for old Martin to rely on his status as a steward with a foreign surname in the Bulova family.

That is to say, both of them have an urgent need to cooperate, so it will happen that Manager Martin plunges into the distribution of Nicole Flamel's estate.

Just outside the side door of the auditorium, Maca had a small discussion with Fanny, and made some articles on this seemingly trivial matter. As for how to deal with the steward Martin who was scared away by Maca's few words after the incident... As long as that guy keeps his own way after this, there is no need to clear him out of Castle Blois.

If today's things can be done, then the greedy old guy can be regarded as a hero.

"Well, Mr. Martin did have some dealings with us this time." The representative of the Miller Farley family seemed a little hesitant at first, but soon his face became serious, "However,

Our family has never promised to cooperate with him..."

Saying "I haven't seen Martin" now will not help the final result, and he will not tell such a lie that can be easily exposed. Since it cannot be denied, it is better to simply admit it, and then be able to avoid some thunder points with a more calm attitude.

"Oh?" Maca nodded calmly, waiting for the other party to continue.

"Yes, that's it..." the representative of Miller Farley said cleverly, "It is true that Steward Martin tried to participate in this conference in his personal capacity, but no matter how 'personal' he is, he is also a member of Blow A steward of the Wa family. Our Miller Farley family is small and weak, so we dare not refuse his request easily."

"So you brought that steward Martin in, didn't you?" Maca nodded clearly and said, "I can understand your embarrassment, but now, sir, you can answer our doubts, so to speak. Thank you very much."

"Our Castle of Blois should also thank you, Mr. Miller Farley," just after Maca said, Fanny immediately seized the gap, and thanked you together, "Your testimony, for us The Lowa family has washed away their grievances."

The cooperation of the Miller Farley family was of course within Maca's expectation.

A family with an awkward position like them couldn't hope to get caught up in the fire, let alone offend either the Bulova family or Hogwarts. So he spoke very simply, except for the mistakes he had made on his side, he said everything he should say about Martin.

Now that the truth of Martin's private destruction of the family plan has been revealed on the spot, then, Blois Castle's remarks of "one thing on the surface and another thing behind it" are logically self-defeating.

"Sorry, Miss Blois... It seems that I misunderstood your Blois family on my own initiative." The old butler had been watching all this happening just now, and it was only now that things gradually became clear that he said, "Hope You Blois family can severely punish that steward named Martin, so that I and everyone present can feel at ease as soon as possible."

"Of course," Fanny said without looking sideways, "Blois Castle will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

After the surprising appearance of Maca and old Edward, the enigma of Patriarch Tyfler and the two wizards, one tall and one short, has obviously not changed in any particular way. But for the original disappearance of the old housekeeper, it is completely clear. When the final answer is already in front of everyone, who else will have too much interest in the questions that arise in the process of solving the problem?

Maybe others don't, but Maca is by no means one of those people. After realizing that the restlessness between the two parties might have an unknown impact on his future actions, he made up his mind to figure it out.

But, that's definitely not now.

"Mr. Edward Flamel, Ms. Fanny Blois... the misunderstanding between the two can be solved so quickly, it is really great!"

While the wizards of various forces were still secretly analyzing the conversations just now, Mrs. Maxim, who had been a bystander not far away, finally found a chance to speak. To be honest, it's really inconvenient for her as a local landlord to interfere with such a mess, and she is very aggrieved.

"Yes!" Old Edward showed his kind expression again, and said in an easy-going manner, "Well, this time I should thank Mr. McLean from Hogwarts. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid I would have been arrested by now Is it locked up in a small dark room? With my old bones, I feel a little scared when I think about it..."

His words immediately reminded all the wizards who coveted the legacy of alchemy. It can be seen that many faces turned around at almost the same time, and countless gazes came straight to Maca.

Probably because it seems to have reached a critical moment, those eyes are obviously more explicit than before, and they seem to contain various emotions and psychological activities.

However, Maca didn't seem to notice those sharper eyes, he just smiled and bowed slightly to the old housekeeper.

"Mr. Flamel is polite." He shrugged, with a bright smile on his face, "When I entered Hogwarts, the first thing Professor Dumbledore taught me was that I should learn Help everyone who needs help. Although I am not very old now, I am also a teacher who imparts knowledge...how can I miss this kind of opportunity to set an example for students?"

"Oh, Mr. Dumbledore..."

As soon as Old Edward heard the name, he immediately showed a sentimental expression, which made the surrounding crowd feel bad.

"In the past, the head of my family also stayed in the British wizarding world for a period of time. At that time, I was also fortunate to have a few brief conversations with Mr. Dumbledore... that is a great wizard worthy of anyone's respect. Thinking about it now, he What I said back then seems to be still ringing in my ears!"

As soon as these reminiscing words came out, Maca noticed that there was a lot of whispering in the crowd. He knew that the time to take that final step had arrived.

"When you have a chance, sir, you might as well go to Hogwarts to see Professor Dumbledore. He was willing to sacrifice for the school, so he gave us an opportunity to defeat Qiang Li. Now he is buried in Hogwarts. By the lake, it guards our campus forever like a bundle of immortal fire from Gubulai..."

While talking, Maca winked at old Edward very covertly. In fact, he didn't need to remind him at all, how could the shrewd old housekeeper not know, it's time to get to the point.

"That's for sure," Old Edward said with a smile, "Well... why don't you take this opportunity to hand over the distribution of my master's estate to Hogwarts! I believe that Mr. Dumbledore's school We must be able to selflessly accomplish this great event that benefits the entire world."

That's it! That's right, it was this sentence that made the entire auditorium boil. The representatives of those forces couldn't bear it anymore, because what the old butler said was "full authority to be handled by Hogwarts"!

If this matter is really going to happen, then these forces are still playing a game! But at this moment——

"No, I'm afraid it won't work."

Maca's answer was beyond most people's expectations.
