The opponent's speed is still getting faster!

Since even Willie, who was watching from afar, noticed this, it was natural that Maxim, the person who was directly fighting with him, could not fail to notice it.

So... yes, just like Willy's judgment, Mrs. Maxim gradually realized that if the stalemate continued like this, she would probably lose.

"Something's wrong, zombies... zombies don't evolve that fast. If every zombie was like her, the whole of Europe would have been destroyed long ago!"

While Maxim pursued the opponent as closely as possible, he occasionally dodged counterattacks launched by the opponent when he took the opportunity to do so. At the same time, he was still thinking in his mind.

"So, is this really what happens when the blood of living corpses is actively integrated into the body of a normal wizard?"

When he thought that the Brandt family secretly mastered this extremely dangerous technology, Maxim could no longer calm down. There is no doubt that this possibility, which is close to certainty, is far more complicated than the seemingly inevitable one before him.

A battle that is about to be lost is even more terrifying.

If the Brandt family is really clinging to Herbo in secret without fear of death, then this Ida Brandt can probably only be regarded as a test subject at best. And what will the Brandt family do next?

It seems that it is no longer unimaginable that something will happen.

Yes, it does make sense if that's the case.

"boom--"

Because she put too much thought into thinking about this matter, Maxim finally made a mistake in this obviously increasingly difficult battle. When she stepped forward and planned to give the opponent another heavy punch, she failed.

Instead, the opponent dodged and moved around behind him.

"Boom!"

Ida, who turned into a living corpse, didn't seem to be much weaker. She suddenly put her knee on the tall Madame Maxime's lower back, pushed her forward, and threw her fiercely.

Hit the Beauxbatons wall.

Fortunately, Maxim was also rough-skinned and thick-bodied, so this blow would not cause her any serious injuries.

"Ma'am, are you okay?"

"Mrs. Maxim, we will come out to help you right now!"

Hearing the professor's shouts from the school behind him, Maxim hurriedly got up from the ground in a slightly embarrassed manner, and hurriedly warned:

"I'm fine, don't come out! Don't open the door."

After saying this, she wanted to rush back to the battlefield immediately. But at this moment, she seemed to suddenly think of something, and she frowned secretly and made a decision.

"In addition...depending on how the situation develops, we are prepared to initiate a comprehensive school closure process!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Maxim finally rushed to the battle area ahead again and rejoined the confrontation with Ida who had turned into a living corpse.

At the same time, Willie, who was on the main roadside of the school, couldn't help but turned to look at the old housekeeper with some doubts.

"What is 'school closure'? Locking down the school?"

But the old housekeeper immediately shook his head.

"No, it's not just a matter of blockade."

He seemed a little surprised by Madame Maxime's decision, but he could somewhat understand her mood at this time. After all, the Brandt family was behind the incident of the living corpse appearing in Beauxbatons.

He could somewhat see the situation.

And then, the old housekeeper gradually recalled some of the classics he had read at home, and explained to Willy:

"I think Miss Beauxbatons should also know that the establishment of Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry did not leave many records in the wizarding world. In fact, Beauxbatons actually had a predecessor - in the beginning, Beauxbatons was actually

A wizard fortress built during the war. During that period, our Blois family also had many combat forces stationed here, fighting side by side with several other forces that were in their prime at the time."

"However... in terms of scale alone, that war was even larger than the scope of the current disaster. Although our side was considered victorious, the losses during that period were also extremely heavy."

"In order to preserve as much power as possible in the aftermath of the war, the fortress started a comprehensive sealing process. Our ancestors secretly brought in the remaining wizard team, a large number of wounded and even most of the members' families,

Then an ancient magic was used to completely isolate the inside and outside of the fortress - this was the only 'closure' in Beauxbatons' history."

After briefly explaining what the so-called "school closure" process was, the old butler gestured to Beauxbatons in front of him and finally said:

"That comprehensive closure lasted for decades. When the closure ended, it quickly became Beauxbatons today - because many children were born in the fortress during those decades, and they grew up during the closure.

In order to receive an education, Mr. Nico Flamel and several of our forces simply jointly provided funds for reconstruction and transformed the wartime fortress that was no longer useful into a school."

Because the establishment process of Beauxbatons involved a lot of secrets, and because the fortress was closed for a long time, a lot of messy things happened internally. To be honest, that's not what a wizarding school that provides education for children can do.

Information released to the outside world.

Therefore, even the students at the school don’t know much about Beauxbatons’s founding history.

However, many of the habits that existed back then were eventually passed down as generations of teachers and students changed. For example, Booth was gentler than Durmstrang in both the teaching atmosphere and the relationship between teachers and students.

Barton, the school has always had a tradition of very strict school rules.

After listening to the old butler's explanation, you can understand that this is obviously because the first generation of "professors" themselves were all members of the French wizard coalition who survived the arduous war.

Of course, now is obviously not the time to discuss the history of Beauxbatons in depth, so the old butler just gave a quick and simple explanation and stopped there.

"In short," he said after a pause, "Miss... I think Madame Maxime is ready to fight to the death with the Brandt family."

Just listening to the words of the old housekeeper may make people feel a little confused. But if you combine it with the situation at hand, it is not difficult to understand.

Obviously, according to the "school closing" process, students... and even their families can be brought back to school secretly. This is definitely not something that can be done under the current circumstances. At the very least, the school must be closed first.

The group of guys at the door, as well as the living corpse Ida who was fighting madly in the air, had to be expelled elsewhere.

"So...Miss, should we first find a way to invite the head of the family back?"
