harry potter book of crimes

It is not a big deal for the Brandt family to transfer the family wizards from Camp Granger - they say they are going to be sent to Denmark, but as long as they cross the border of northern Germany, then it is not a big deal.

Have you already set foot on Danish soil?

If they can use this excuse to withdraw their manpower, the Brandt family can also increase the defensive strength of the northern border. This is simply a matter of killing two birds with one stone.

This shows that Miss Brandt has inherited the family's shrewdness.

But it's a pity that Maxim actually doesn't care at all about the people sent by the Brandt family to the wizard coalition!

As we all know, the Brandt family's heritage is almost entirely in the dragon farm. The combination of dragon trainers and a large number of fire dragons is their family's real combat power. As for the human support they provide, it is simply useless in comparison.

It was nothing, even in the previous tragic Weymouth defense battle, they were the first group to retreat.

To be honest, Mrs. Maxim was actually hoping for a suitable reason to transfer those guys away from the coalition forces!

As for the girl in front of him... Maxim originally thought that the person coming today would be someone like the chief deacon of the Brandt family.

"Miss Brandt, you... forget it, I don't want to embarrass you more, so please go back! Please tell your family master that actually rushing to the aid of Denmark is equivalent to assisting in the defense of your country. Next... the alliance will

Consider supporting Miss Blois' actions. By the way, if it is necessary to talk again, please send a more suitable person."

"you--"

At this point, it was obvious that the young lady of the Brandt family could no longer pretend - the timid look she had before was not her true character at all.

"Madame Maxime, let me tell you the truth! I came to Beauxbatons today and I never thought about leaving!"

Suddenly, she shrank away from before and said loudly:

"Before I left the mansion, the head of the family made it clear to me that if I go back without completing the tasks he assigned me, I would be punished. But it doesn't matter, even if I fail for a moment, the head of the house will still have other plans! In fact,

Before I set off to Beauxbatons, the owner of the family had already sent people to start setting up..."

Hearing what she said, before Maxim had time to react, he saw her suddenly pull out a strange-looking dagger from her sleeve, and then put it directly on his fair and tender neck.

Immediately afterwards, she gritted her teeth silently, stared straight at Maxim and said:

"Madam, you can try to guess what will happen if I strike with the knife... Don't worry, as far as time is concerned, there is still more or less time."

A knife cut on the neck would naturally cause blood to flow profusely, but it would definitely not kill her immediately. Just looking at her expression of hidden anxiety but inexplicable fearlessness, it was obvious that it was not that simple.

And actually more importantly, that dagger... looks really suspicious.

It was a dagger with a scarlet blade, as if it had been soaked in a lot of blood and had just been fished out of the blood when it was about to be used. It looked bright and vivid, but it was even more thrilling.

This may be some secret belonging to the Brandt family. At least with Maxim's knowledge, he didn't recognize what was hidden in it at the moment.

After waiting for a while, the girl pursed her lips and said to Madam Maxime threateningly:

"Can't you guess? It's actually very simple - I believe you are familiar with the 'Twelve Uses of Dragon Blood' discovered by Albus Dumbledore, right? One of the uses is to use it as a potion after dilution

The use of absorption accelerator. And the blade of this dagger has already stored sufficient diluted dragon blood, as well as... greatly concentrated living corpse blood."

When she finished saying this, the girl's originally pretty face had turned pale, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on her forehead. However, she still suppressed the fear in her heart, and finally said:

"Madame Maxime, if I haven't walked out of Beauxbatons by myself before lunch time, then the news of your affair with Haierbo will immediately spread among various forces, and the head of the family will also personally bring people here

I want someone from you."

Framed? Blackmailed?

This kind of vulgar drama that has never gone out of style naturally has its reason for being rampant in every era. If it is not handled well, the outcome is foreseeable.

However, it is true that dragon's blood can be used to promote the absorption of potion ingredients after dilution - after all, this is one of Dumbledore's most commendable discoveries.

But the question is, what happens when the human body absorbs the blood of a living corpse? Will normal people become living corpses?

It has to be said that there are still large gaps to be filled in the current research on living corpses. However, at least now many people know about the birth of living corpses.

Even though everyone has not yet learned about the demon summoning techniques, the fact that they were transformed in the mysterious gray fog has at least been recorded.

As for the blood on their bodies...at least just contact with it will definitely not turn normal humans into living corpses.

Of course, it would be hard to say if it was forcibly absorbed into the body like the Miss Brandt in front of me - so far, no one has been crazy enough to do such a thing!

"What do you want, head of the family?"

At this point, it was obvious that Maxim no longer wanted to be polite to her, and the hesitation and pity he had shown towards her before had naturally gone away.

No matter whether she dared to cut her own neck or not, just doing it willingly and voluntarily in front of others was not much different from a madman.

On the other side, Miss Brandt heard that Maxim finally asked this question, and she immediately said:

"The head of the family has said that Granger and the others will be called to the border between our country and Denmark to resist the coming zombies. Originally, the Blois family also wanted them, but now that they plan to go directly to Denmark, it seems that

It's okay...I will follow you from now on, so please don't do anything that makes me feel 'uneasy', do you understand?"

Judging from her conditions, the head of the Brandt family wanted to make Maxim his puppet to a certain extent, and the person who was using it to coerce her was Miss Brandt's life.

However, this condition is really difficult for Mrs. Maxim to achieve!

But Maxim did not expect that in the moment when she was in trouble, the matter would take another unexpected change.
