harry potter book of crimes

Nothing happened all night.

Under the panic and struggle of the past few days, the tranquility of this night may be called "luxury". Even Maka, who still stayed up all night and sat on the shabby sofa all night, was

While thinking complicatedly, I felt a little bit of the peaceful feeling of the past.

And when the rising sun slowly rose in the east and gradually illuminated the pier through the ribbon-shaped clouds on the horizon, two carriages, one large and one small, came at high speed from the south.

"Oh, are you here?"

Maka, who was rubbing her forehead in the warehouse, suddenly put down her hand, glanced up subconsciously, and then stood up with a support on the armrest of the sofa.

…

"boom!"

The big carriage, which looked like a small house, was obviously not as smooth as the small carriage that arrived first. The wheels bounced on the ground of the dock twice before landing completely.

After the sound of horse hooves stopped for a while, the big car finally stopped behind the previous small car.

"Lord of Blois Castle, have you come in person?"

When an exceptionally tall woman stepped out of the huge carriage and led a dozen wizards to stand in the open space of the dock, they saw that the low-key and luxurious carriage in front of them also opened slightly.

At the door, a middle-aged man wearing luxurious clothes and imposing manner walked down behind an old man with a humble posture.

"Let's not forget about the disaster on the other side of the strait... After all, this time Mr. MacLean has officially come to France to live temporarily. Of course, I have to come to welcome him in person to show the sincerity of my Blois family."

Although the other party's words seemed to treat the whole of France as his own territory, Madame Maxime really couldn't say anything.

Because in the French magic world, this is almost a fact. Regardless of its heritage or strength, Chateau Blois is truly the only one in France, which is undoubtedly rare in the magic circles of other countries.

And just as the two parties stopped at the dock to chat casually, Maka's figure finally appeared suddenly at the warehouse and walked towards them.

"Mr. Blois, Madame Maxime...Good morning everyone, thank you for coming here so early in the morning!"

"Good morning, Mr. MacLean."

Seeing Maka coming this way, Blois and Maxim immediately went up to meet her.

"If there weren't some things that needed to be prepared overnight, my master would have gone to Canterbury to help last night!" The old housekeeper followed Mr. Blois and said to Maka with a smile, "And the ladies, if not

The head of the house deliberately concealed these things, so they might be able to sneak out of the house secretly..."

"Oh, hearing you say that, I really miss them a little!" Maka shrugged, paused and then said apologetically, "But... I'm really afraid that I'm really going to cause you trouble!

"

"Mr. Maclean, look at what you said," Mrs. Maxime shook her head gracefully and whispered softly in a tactful tone that did not match her size. "This disaster, at least, affects the entire Europe.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s a major event that the whole world needs to pay attention to!”

What Mrs. Maxim said is of course the truth, but the actual situation is still complicated after all. When countries have not yet faced the most direct threat, most countries will actually just stay on the sidelines.

Not to mention far away, even among the countries closest to the UK as the "hardest hit area", aren't at least half of them just gritting their teeth and preparing while watching secretly?

What's more, because of Helbo's big move, the face of the wizarding world has been gradually revealed to the Muggle society. The conflicts and chaos between Muggles and wizards will also be a very troublesome problem.

It's just that at present, this contradiction is only entangled under the water's surface and has not yet been truly exposed.

"Mr. McClain," after greeting Maca, Blois, who always has a tough and direct style, immediately said, "I have asked people to free up several blocks for pure wizards to live here for the refugees.

Obviously it’s not safe, so it’s better to move there as soon as possible.”

After that, he waved his hand gently, and the old housekeeper nodded to Maka, and rushed to the warehouse area to make relevant arrangements. Upon seeing this, Mrs. Maxim immediately asked those who came with her to

The wizard went with the old housekeeper to help.

As for the remaining three people, Maca, Blois and Maxim, they boarded the two huge carriages at the latter's invitation and sat down at a table inside.

Blois and Maxim came here, firstly, to accept the refugees from England, and secondly, naturally, they wanted to discuss with Maca the various actions of Haierbo as soon as possible, and to understand Haierbo more accurately.

Strength.

Although Mr. Blois did fight against Haierbo, at that time he only had a hasty battle with Haierbo who had not recovered his strength. Not to mention, that guy now might even have surpassed him.

His peak form.

The three of them had a lot to talk about. In the carriage, they drank cup after cup of tea, and Blois and Maxim's expressions became worse and worse.

Even if the Blois family has investigated the confrontation between Maca and Herbo, how can ordinary spies figure out the root cause of the conflict with the strength of the two of them beyond the normal scope?

For example, in the area shrouded in gray fog, since the complete fall of London, only a handful of people have been able to walk out of the fog alive.

"...In short, it is best not to let go of the combat power in your hands easily, because it is almost a deal with no return. At the moment, Haierbo should at least not extend his hand to France... As for

To be honest, I am still considering the issue of the British interior."

Maka took another sip of tea, put down the teacup in her hand again, and then continued:

"Currently, the Muggle Prime Minister and the Queen have gone to a secret place in the north. The royal family is probably not stable. I will ask Kingsley to go over there and talk to them face to face about some things during breakfast later. We still need to see

It’s their attitude that really determines it.”

Wizards and Muggles both have their own powers, and of course they all have their own ideas. Even in Britain, where the conflicts between the two sides are somewhat less obvious, when faced with various incoordination in mutual cooperation, both sides need to

Just think it over more carefully.

"After all, even if we can make up our minds to coexist peacefully, the essential contradiction between magic and technology still exists, and no one can ignore it."

After saying this, Maka was about to change the topic, but suddenly, he tilted his head slightly as if he noticed something.

"Wait a moment, everyone, I'm going out for a moment."
