Solim knew exactly what Lucius' words meant. He was worried that his choice would put the Malfoy family in huge trouble, because at that point, whether it was trouble from Voldemort or trouble from the Ministry of Magic, there was nothing he could do, Lucius, and he could only hope that he would be able to survive the crisis. Give Draco a hand every now and then, and maybe give the Malfoy family a little hope.

Reality issues, and the looming reality of those realities, made Lucius completely lose his adult restraint when confronting Solim. He could be said to be out of proportion now, because in the eyes of anyone who knows the situation, the Malfoy family is now on the cusp. Any choice Lucius makes will have a huge impact on the future Malfoy family. A family like the Malfoys would definitely have to choose sides between Voldemort and the Ministry of Magic, there was no such thing as a neutral.

If you want to remain neutral before the coming storm, you must either be like Weasley now, who is completely worthless, or be like Selwyn, who has a deep foundation and strong strength, and can ensure that either side will not affect itself.

The most uncomfortable thing is the Malfoy family: they have some strength and status, and have the value of being wooed, but they don't have the strength to protect themselves wisely. The Malfoy family is powerful, rich, and well-connected in the wizarding world. This is where the value of the Malfoy family lies. As long as they can control the Malfoy family, then these things that the Malfoy family has can be used by them. And Voldemort also took a fancy to these characteristics of pure-blood families, whether they were lured or threatened. In short, many pure-blood families in the Ying country were gathered under Voldemort's command. These families were also unwilling to be at the mercy of Voldemort, but they had no choice. Their skills were inferior to others, they couldn't beat Voldemort, and they wanted to ensure the continuation of the family, so they could only compromise.

After thinking about it, Solim said: "Uncle Lucius, you have investigated me, so you must be aware that although my surname is Selwyn, but with my status in the family...I think this I can't do anything about this matter, and I don't have any right to speak within the family."

Looking at Lucius' gloomy face, Solim went on to say, "But it's not difficult to preserve the Malfoy family."

Lucius looked at Solim, waiting for him to speak.

"Draco must have told you about what happened at school last term, and that must be the reason for your uneasiness, Uncle. You and I know very well: Once that man comes back, Malfoy will definitely not be able to hide …”

Speaking, Solim pointed to Lucius' left arm, both of them knew what was there.

"He just wants to use Malfoy's contacts and money in the wizarding world to influence and control the Ministry of Magic. Then, when Malfoy is still valuable, if there is some small unhappiness between you, It can also be exposed, from this aspect, as long as the Malfoy family still has value to use, that person will not persecute you too much."

Lucius nodded at Solim's words.

"But... the same reason, as long as Malfoy is still useful, then you can't get rid of him. When you want to get rid of him and draw a clear line with him, Malfoy loses his use value Uncle Lucius, you have been in contact with that person for a long time, and you must be much clearer than me about how he deals with people who are worthless."

"The current situation is not as good as before. Even if he does come back, as long as he doesn't want to start a war with the entire wizarding world of the UK as soon as he comes back, then he will definitely block the news of his return, and he will definitely need a foothold as a gathering place for death eaters." The base camp of the gangsters," Solim looked at Lucius and said, "Uncle, you might as well guess where he will choose this base camp?"

Lucius couldn't help showing a wry smile when he heard Solim's words. Is there any need to guess? It must be our Malfoy Manor. It covers a large area and has many rooms. It is not a problem to cram two or three hundred people here. Besides, where else would he choose if he didn't choose Malfoy Manor? Lestrange? Their family only had a small three-story villa, which could accommodate a dozen people if they were exhausted. Nott? They're not as good as Lestrange. Carrow? The two brothers and sisters are still wanted by the Ministry of Magic. Aurors have been chasing them. In this situation, they don't even have a decent residence, so naturally they can't be counted on. The same situation applies to Antonin Dolohov and others. These people are having a hard time being hunted by the Ministry of Magic. Avery complained about this at the last gathering. Working under the Dark Lord.

But as Solim said, when Voldemort really returns, he will definitely find a place to use as his base camp. And Malfoy Manor is the only choice. Under such circumstances, how could Malfoy refuse Voldemort's request? Not let Voldemort live in? That's easy to do, just kill Malfoy directly, and the manor will naturally belong to Voldemort.

"If uncle really wants to draw a line with that person, then this manor must not be taken." Solim said: "As long as you are still the owner of this manor, then he will definitely come to you. And even if you want to sell this manor It is not a manor, and it cannot be handed over to others casually, and the superficial work must be done well."

After hearing Solim's words, Lucius smiled wryly. He understood what Solim said, since the Dark Lord would most likely live in Malfoy Manor after his return, he should sell the manor before then, and the best thing to buy this manor is the kind that the Dark Lord would like A feared family or organization. Only in this way can we ensure that the manor will not be ruined by the Dark Lord and his minions. However, this manor was the ancestral property of the Malfoy family, so Lucius would have sold it out, just thinking about it would make him almost suffocate.

«Is there no other way? ’ Lucius’ cheeks trembled.

"To be honest, Malfoy won't be able to escape unless he is killed in a very short time after his return. I know what uncle you mean by looking for me, and I hope that I can connect Malfoy and Selwyn so that Malfoy is under Selwyn's protection. But, I think it would be a stupid decision even if it worked out." Solim spread his hands.

If things really turned out as Lucius expected, and Selwyn sheltered Malfoy, what would Voldemort think? Well, you Malfoy, your wings are stiff and you dare to change jobs. You don’t even have to report your resignation. If you don’t give it to me, do you want to leave the job directly? It’s a beautiful idea! Go ahead and make your dream come true! He will definitely, definitely, absolutely kill all the Malfoys, even if he offends Selwyn for this. .

If Malfoy really escaped from Voldemort's control through this method, what would the rest of Voldemort's subordinates think? Oh, just find a big thick leg and hug me, and Voldemort will have nothing to do with me. You see, Malfoy is like this I did it, and I'm still alive and well, let's find a big (Wang Lizhao) to hug me. Come on, except for those Death Eaters who were loyal to Voldemort, the other people who joined Voldemort's command by coercion and lure would definitely run away-don't discuss whether these people have the ability to find big thick legs.

"So, in order to prevent this kind of thing from happening, he will definitely kill the Malfoy family as an example to others."

"Could it be that our Malfoys... can really just watch this happen? Is there no way for us to escape this disaster?" Lucius' expression was as calm as ever, but he The hands with bulging veins still betrayed his heart.

"Uncle Lucius," Solim smiled, "I don't believe it, you ex-Death Eaters who survived, haven't you studied why that person didn't die completely?" Solim crossed his hands, "You know, there are few ways to prevent unnatural deaths, but that doesn't mean there are none.

After hearing Solim's words, Lucius trembled his lips, and finally managed to utter a word that terrified him:

"Horcruxes."
