This time Maka was invited to Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in France, not only to represent Hogwarts, but also to represent himself. In order to maintain her image in front of the French wizards who value respectability, Maka specially dressed up.

, wrapping himself into the image of a handsome young man with great dignity.

Well! With his modest height and looks that are always younger than his actual age, he can only be called a "teenager" no matter how you look at him!

In order to highlight his personal importance to Hogwarts, he also specially selected a Thestral carriage as the basis for his appearance. The enchanted Hogwarts school emblem on the carriage looked glittering, representing the four major schools.

This kind of animal has a distinctive and lifelike posture, which is as eye-catching as you want.

What he is not afraid of most now is ostentation, because this time he went to Beauxbatons and said he was participating in discussions, but in fact he was going to face-to-face negotiations to compete for benefits. He put on his airs first, and then regardless of whether he could gain an advantage, at least he would have a disadvantage.

It will definitely decrease accordingly.

Those present at that time will be all important figures in the magic world. In addition to Madame Maxime and the old housekeeper of the Flamel family, there will probably also be the president of the International Federation of Wizards and famous and powerful wizards from various countries.

Come forward. Just imagine, the scene will definitely be quite chaotic.

Although he looks nice on the surface, but there are turbulent undercurrents under the water, his reputation for defeating the Dark Lord may not allow him to easily gain the upper hand.

Of course, before going to Beauxbatons, he had to prepare some time in advance to visit someone in Paris.

…

To put it bluntly, the beautifully decorated Thestral carriage is just a cosmetic decoration at best. Maka naturally does not need it to travel. After taking the carriage to France with the help of the portkey, he got into the Shiguo

The carriage of the Illusion Body Spell flew all the way to Blois Castle.

This huge royal castle has been a long absence for Macca. The scattered castle buildings are put together, but they belong to different architectural styles. Walking among them, it seems that time is passing by.

The changes made Maka couldn't help but recall the scene when she first came here.

Because of the special nature of the barrier that separates it from the Muggle world, wizards who visit Blois Castle must walk to enter. The entrance is only on a staircase, and the real space inside the castle cannot be reached anywhere else.

Maka followed the route in his memory and moved forward slowly. Soon, he saw the spiral upward staircase. The steps were covered with a red carpet with beautifully embroidered edges, which made the white marble steps look even more evocative.

Gold is like jade.

He stood at the entrance of the stairs and sensed it, then stretched out his hand and patted the handrail lightly. Suddenly, the entire spiral staircase began to fade layer by layer, extending to the top of the stairs.

After the staircase completely changed, another slight wave of magic quietly shook around him. Maka knew that the Muggle world and the real inner space of Chateau Blois were finally connected.

He no longer waited, and stepped lightly onto the translucent steps. While feeling his own magic power resonating slightly with it, he himself gradually began to fade away. In the space behind,

It is a wizarding realm that Muggles can never reach.

As he gradually walked up, it wasn't long before he came to a door. The door was open at the moment, and a maid who didn't look too old was standing on the inside of the door.

He immediately bowed with a gentle face.

"Hello! Sir, do you have any reservations here?" the other party asked softly in French.

"Can you speak English?" Maka smiled politely at her, "I'm Maka McClain from Hogwarts, um... I'm an old friend of your master, right?"

"Please...please wait a moment."

The maid blinked, and after giving another salute, she immediately turned around and went in. Maka watched her leave, thinking that she was probably looking for someone, but he didn't know if the other party understood what he said.

.

He remembered that the old housekeeper of the Blois family could speak fluent English, but as for these maids, they may not be very proficient.

The servants of the Blois family are all very efficient at work. Not long after, the maid invited the old housekeeper out without any surprise. Speaking of which, this person was also an old acquaintance. As soon as they met

Both seemed very happy.

"Mr. McLean, come on, please come in quickly -" the old butler warmly invited, "The master has learned about your visit. He is in the study now. I will take you there right now!"

"Weili... Where is your young lady? How is she?" Maka asked while following the footsteps of the old housekeeper.

"The young lady is fine, but the master has been unwilling to let her go out since she returned home last time." The old housekeeper shook his head gently and said, "I can see that the young lady really hopes to return to Hogwarts.

To continue her studies."

"Mr. Blois did the right thing. The British wizarding community as a whole was not very safe some time ago. It was right not to let her pass." Maka nodded and said, "But that said, Willie should be fine...

…”

The latter sentence was said to himself.

In the underground vault of the Dark Spirit Pavilion, Willie took the initiative to unlock the seal on her body, releasing the inexplicable curse power and solving a deadly situation against Maka. After that, her father took her directly back to the castle.

We are trying to re-impose the seal, but the probability of success is said to be unknown.

Of course, judging from the effect of the weird blood curse of the Blois family, even if the seal failed to be applied again, Willie's life was not in danger. On the contrary, the curse was actually more like an uncontrollable massacre.

Yes, because those who died under that curse must be the people around her.

If I had to make an analogy, Maka couldn't help but feel that it might be more like the effect of the ancient magic mirror. Judging from its appearance, it looks like a large-scale disaster that affects the soul, and it can actually make people unconsciously self-conscious.

Killing each other is extremely powerful.

"Mr. Maclean's activities are already known to families like ours who don't go out much in France. Although it may not have been very safe before, now the British wizarding world has obviously been purged. When seeing this news, the master

I couldn't help but praise your magic power..." The old housekeeper said with emotion, "You know, my master rarely praises others."

Hearing what the old housekeeper said, Maka immediately recalled the underground battle between him and Willy's father.

Although he was somewhat timid in that fight and ended up letting it go, he still admired the unusually powerful Lord of Blois.

That guy not only practiced the ancient sealing magic inherited from his family, but also suspected of mastering the ancient summoning technique. If it comes to a real large-scale group battle, the opponent's deterrence is definitely higher than Maka, who prefers single-target duels.

Much larger.

Some ancient books have recorded that magic in ancient times was rough and powerful, and its performance on the battlefield was surprisingly astonishing. That is indeed true.

While Maka was chatting casually with the old housekeeper, she followed him around the huge castle. After walking for more than ten minutes, she found that she had entered a rather spacious study.

This study room alone has three floors. Looking up from the bottom, there are stairs and one-sided corridors on both sides. Except for a desk deep in the ground floor where Maka is currently, the rest of the space is occupied by bookshelves.

occupied.

For wizards, the most important thing is knowledge. Most of the carriers of knowledge are books and papers of various thicknesses. In a wizard family with a deep foundation, the largest place is usually the study room, unless

This family has long given up on accumulating magic and turned to other directions for development.

And just opposite the door where Maka came in, you could see Mr. Blois sitting behind the desk from a distance, looking at him calmly.

"Hello, Mr. Blois." Maka is a junior after all, so it's not too much to say hello first.

"McLean...well, Mr. McLean," for some reason, Blois hesitated, but then changed his words, "I welcome you to visit Fort Blois - come over! Please take a seat!

"

In Maka's impression, Willy's father gave people a very conceited feeling. Probably no one could make him look pleasant except for his precious daughter.

But now, he felt a raw enthusiasm in the other party's words and deeds.

"It's my honor to be your guest." No matter how curious he was, it was difficult to show any rude behavior in front of Willy's father. Maka still walked forward politely, and then followed the other person's words.

Sitting at the round table nearby, he said, "Mr. Blois, I also have official business this time, so I stopped by to visit Willy - I haven't been able to find the time to come over since the last time we said goodbye. I'm really sorry!"

"No, Mr. Maclean, you don't have to be so polite." Mr. Blois sat behind the desk and said with a smile, "I still know a little about what you are doing in the British wizarding world - you can kill that guy Voldemort.

I am also very happy to die. To be honest, if I hadn't been worried about my daughter, I would have gone over to deal with him!"

"Although Mr. Blois did not come in person, I have heard about how you used some influence to fight against the Death Eaters," Maka also said with a smile, "With your help, we can solve the problem so quickly.

Clearing out the forces of dark wizards lurking beneath the water allows me to devote more energy to clearing out the Death Eater strongholds."

In fact, with the Order of the Phoenix and some low-level wizards collecting information from Maka, it's more than just "hearing". Some forces have even infiltrated the British Ministry of Magic, and behind it, there might be Bro

The forces mobilized by Warburg are influencing.

To be honest, the power disputes in the magic world are really hard to explain at the moment.
