"Mr. Blois... always comes to disturb the guests' rest. Maybe it's not what I, as the host, should do. It's just that there are some more urgent matters... I think I have to talk to you 'alone'.

"

It can be heard that she emphasized the word "alone" more, and maybe she even used too much force because of some guilty conscience.

Therefore...in terms of wording, Maxim's words were extremely polite, but in terms of the meaning of her words, they were not necessarily very polite.

Fortunately, in the face of the disaster, she had to deal with many troubles all day long, so no one would take it to heart if she was rude and rude like this.

It's just a pity that her expectation of "talking alone" failed.

"Madam, it seems that we have not specially introduced this lady to you in the past few days - this is my mistake. In fact, this lady is not only a good friend of my daughter, but also a friend of many people... What's the matter?

If it's urgent, just say it! There's no need to avoid her."

When Maxim entered the room, Mr. Blois was sitting at the desk and seemed to be chatting with Delphi who was standing at the window.

Seeing Mr. Blois say this, Delphi nodded slightly to Maxim as a greeting.

"Well," Mrs. Maxim also nodded slightly towards her, but then said with some hesitation, "But this matter... to be honest, because it involves Mr. Percy Weasley from the Weymouth camp.

For the time being, I’m afraid the less people know about this urgent letter, the better.”

She said, and finally couldn't help but add:

"...Well, it's about Mr. MacLean."

"Mr. MacLean?"

Obviously, it would have been better if Maxim had not mentioned Maka, and maybe Delphi could have avoided it. But now that she said this, even if Delphi originally wanted to leave, she would definitely not leave now.

Sure enough, when Delphi heard this, he immediately left the window and took a step towards this side, frowning and saying:

"Mrs. Maxim, what happened to Mr. Maclean? What news did Mr. Weasley send?"

"Miss--"

Maxim opened his mouth, and then looked towards Mr. Blois in embarrassment. But the latter shook his head slightly at the desk and gestured:

"Remember what I just said, this lady is also a friend of many people - including McClain. In fact, she was even a big help to Mr. McClain when he fought with Haierbo."

Due to her own problems, Delphi's actions have always been very secretive. It can be said that she has never exposed her identity in front of others, so many people don't know what she has done.

Therefore, when Mr. Blois mentioned it a little bit, Maxime immediately showed a surprised expression - she did not expect that this beautiful girl, who she had thought was a squib, or even a Muggle, actually had such an origin.

And more importantly, the other party seems to be very familiar with McClain!

"There's no need to mention these," Delphi shook her head and said, "Mrs. Maxim, please tell me quickly! What's wrong with Mr. MacLean? What's the news?"

Seeing her asking questions again and again, and Mr. Blois also indicating that she could continue talking directly... the words had already been said, Maxim found that he seemed to have no reason to continue the stalemate.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally said:

"Here's the thing... I just received a red-label urgent message from Mr. Weasley. The letter said that the Weymouth camp was once again attacked by living zombies. And this time, there were many evolutions among the living zombies.

In the absence of Miss Granger and others, the camp's defense line is very likely to fall. At this time... Mr. Weasley... seemed to have received a summons from Mr. MacLean, saying that he hoped

Weymouth camp can hold on..."

As she talked, Maxim's words gradually contained more and more ambiguous words. Fortunately, the policy she had decided on in her speech was still correct - say as much as you want and make as many mistakes as you want, and just stop talking.

After a brief explanation, she immediately stopped the topic and said instead:

"You two, you should also know that the alliance is currently not very stable. So... I think what Mr. Weasley mentioned in the letter is right - Weymouth camp is the first step and the last step.

If the news that the camp's defense line is on the verge of being lost is known to some members of the alliance, the consequences will be very bad, so I just... Miss, I think I was a little rude just now."

"Um...no, it's nothing."

Delphi had been thinking about something after listening to Maxim's previous explanation. Seeing Maxim's apology, she just shook her head casually, obviously not paying attention to what she was saying.

At this moment, not far away, Blois frowned and said:

"McLean asked Percy Weasley to guard Weymouth? Hmm... Since he told Weasley, he must have a reason... Of course I can take action, but I suggest you wait and see.

Let’s talk again! It would be bad if McClane’s plan is ruined.”

Ever since he was on the small island in Rowena, Blois knew what Maca had planned, and it seemed to be a big plan.

Although Blois now feels very complicated about Maka, his admiration has never been lacking. Regardless of strength or wisdom, at least Blois personally believes that he is the only one in the world who can deal with Herbo.

Under the current catastrophic situation, staying true to one's duty, not taking any rash actions, and waiting for McClane and Haierbo to confront each other seems to be the only option to preserve oneself.

Yes, because of this, Blois, who only hoped that his daughter Willie could survive this crisis safely, decided to withdraw from the fight and no longer get involved.

Hearing that Blois still seemed to want to wait and see, Maxim, who knew that Weymouth might not have much time, suddenly became anxious, and saw her further say:

"But...Mr. Blois, I don't even think that Mr. Weasley has a way to defend the line! Sir, you must know the strength of those evolved zombies better than most people."

, no matter how many ordinary wizards there are, they may not be able to stop their invasion. Not to mention, there are many times more ordinary living zombies than Weymouth’s defense team——"

However, this time, before Maxim could even finish his words, he was suddenly interrupted by Delphi, who had been deep in thought for a long time.

She suddenly raised her head, looked at Maxim and said:

"No, Mr. Maclean will not let Mr. Weasley forcefully defend Weymouth. No... I don't think he will even have contact with Mr. Weasley!"
