"...gentlemen of the Milefali family over there, do you have anything to say about Steward Martin?"

Under Maka's sudden change of words, many people seemed a little confused.

They didn't know that Maka had been speaking eloquently towards Steward Fanny of the Blois family, but suddenly she was pointing her looming edge directly at the seemingly unrelated Milefali family.

But as soon as he said these words, all the wizards present looked over there, and a few people actually noticed the nervousness on the face of the representative of the Milevale family. Although the expression only passed for a moment, if it weren't for

If you are dazzled by it, it means that there are probably some unknown connections hidden in it.

"Gentlemen, don't you... have anything to say?"

Maka saw that their expressions changed slightly, they remained silent, and seemed quite embarrassed, so she urged them again.

The Milevale family, like the Blois family, is also a wizarding family in France. Of course, compared to the latter, although the Milevale family has a rather peculiar origin history, in terms of its background, it is quite

It's too shallow.

According to Fanny, this family was originally an ordinary mixed-blood wizard family. For generations, they made a living by making and selling pastries and desserts. It can be said that there is nothing surprising about them.

However, under the inspiration of a certain generation of ancestors, this family actually took advantage of a certain war to wash away the mixed blood of their ancestors, and became a pure-blood family in the post-war magic world.

.And in the period since then, because they had both some money and a false identity, they really gained both fame and fortune.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. Their so-called "pure blood" was finally found out by the Ministry of Magic's pre-war archive recovery work. Although by that time, pure blood was no longer the top priority in the magic world.

The argument was made, but the reputation of the Milefali family was trampled on thousands of times by the public opinion and was completely ruined.

Nowadays, the Miller Farley family has only relied on the continuous hard work of generations of family members to barely gain a foothold in the middle and upper classes of the French magic world in terms of wealth. If the members of their family were not quite bright-minded, I am afraid that Miller

The surname Farley has long since disappeared from the French magical world.

But it is precisely because the status of this family is so embarrassing that there is room for the greedy steward Martin to win over. If there were other more powerful forces, then old Martin would only be in charge of the affairs of the Blois family with a foreign surname.

Status is something that cannot be easily leveraged.

That is to say, both of them have an urgent need to cooperate, which is why things like Manager Martin rushing into the distribution of Nico Flamel's estate happened.

Just outside the side door of the auditorium, Maka had a small discussion with Fanny and made some articles about this trivial matter. As for how to deal with Martin who was scared away by Maka's few words afterwards.

Steward... As long as that guy stays on his own from now on, there is no need to clear him out of Blois Castle.

If today's thing can be accomplished, then the greedy old guy can be regarded as a hero.

"Well, Mr. Martin did have some dealings with us this time." The representative of the Milefali family seemed a little hesitant at first, but soon his expression became serious, "However, our family can

I never promised to cooperate with him..."

Now, saying "I have never met Martin" will naturally not help the final result. He will not tell such a lie that can be easily exposed. So since he can't deny it, he might as well admit it outright.

, and then you can avoid certain minefields with a more calm attitude.

"Oh?" Maka nodded calmly and waited for the other party to continue.

"Yes, that's it..." Representative Milefali said smartly, "Steward Martin is indeed trying to participate in this meeting in his personal capacity, but no matter how 'personal' he is, he is still Bro

He is a steward of the Wa family. We, the Milefali family, are small and weak, and we dare not refuse his request easily."

"So you brought that steward Martin in, right?" Maka nodded clearly and said, "I can understand your difficulty, and now sir, you can answer our doubts, so to speak.

Thank you very much.”

"We at Chateau Blois should also thank you, Mr. Milevale," Maka had just said. Fanny immediately seized the opportunity and thanked you together, "Your testimony has laid a foundation for us."

The Lowa family has been cleared of an injustice."

Of course, Maca expected that the Milefali family would be so cooperative.

A family with an embarrassing position like theirs would not want to get themselves into a situation that would lead to trouble, and they would not want to offend either the Blois family or Hogwarts. So he said it simply, except for the crimes committed by his side.

Apart from the mistakes he made, he said everything he needed to say about Martin.

Now that the truth about Martin's secret sabotage of the family's plans has been revealed on the spot, Blois Castle's statement that "one thing appears on the surface but another behind the scenes" is logically and self-defeating.

"I'm sorry, Miss Blois... It seems that I misunderstood your Blois family without permission." The old housekeeper had been watching all this happening just now. It was only now that things gradually became clear that he said, "I hope

You Blois family can severely punish the steward named Martin, so that I and everyone present can feel at ease as soon as possible."

"Of course," Fanny said intently, "Blois Castle will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

After the surprising appearances of Maka and Edward Sr., the mystery of the Taifler family head and the two wizards, one tall and one short, has obviously not changed. But for this initial disappearance of the old housekeeper, there is no special change.

It is completely understood. When the final answer is already in front of everyone, will anyone else be too interested in the questions that arise during the process of solving the problem?

Maybe others didn't, but Maka was definitely not one of those people. After realizing that the restlessness of the two parties might have an unknown impact on his future actions, he made up his mind to find out.

However, that is definitely not now.

"Mr. Edouard Flamel, Mademoiselle Fanny Blois...it's great that the misunderstanding between the two of them can be solved so quickly!"

While the wizards from all forces were still secretly analyzing the conversations just now, Mrs. Maxim, who had always been a bystander not far away, finally found the opportunity to speak. To be honest, such a messy thing

, as a local landlord, it was really inconvenient for her to interfere at will, and she was very aggrieved.

"Yes!" Old Edward once again showed his kind expression and said in an easy-going manner, "Well, this time I have to thank Mr. Maclean of Hogwarts. Without him, I would have been arrested long ago.

Is it locked up in a small dark room? With my old bones, I’m really scared when I think about it..."

His words immediately reminded all the wizards who coveted the alchemy inheritance. It can be seen that many faces turned around at almost the same time, and countless eyes were directed towards Maka.

Probably because it seems that a critical moment has been reached, those eyes are obviously more explicit than before, and they seem to contain a variety of emotions and psychological activities.

However, Maka didn't notice those eyes that became sharper. He just smiled and gave a slight nod to the old housekeeper.

"You're welcome, Mr. Flamel," he shrugged, with a bright smile on his face. "When I entered Hogwarts, the first principle Professor Dumbledore taught me was that I should learn

Help everyone in need. Although I am not very old now, I am still a teacher imparting knowledge... How could I miss this opportunity to set an example for students?"

"Oh, Mr. Dumbledore..."

When old Edward heard the name, he immediately showed a sentimental expression, which made the people around him feel bad.

"My head of the family also stayed in the British wizarding world for a period of time in the past. At that time, I was also fortunate to have several brief conversations with Mr. Dumbledore... He was a great wizard who deserves respect from anyone. Now that I think about it, he

It’s as if the words I said back then are still ringing in my ears!”

As soon as these words of reminiscing came out, Maka noticed that there was a lot of whispering among the crowd. He knew that the time to take the final step had arrived.

"When you have the opportunity, sir, you might as well go to Hogwarts to see Professor Dumbledore. He was willing to sacrifice for the sake of the school, thus giving us an opportunity to defeat the powerful. Now he is buried in Hogwarts.

The lakeside, like a bunch of immortal Gubulai fairy fire, guards our campus forever..."

As Maka spoke, she winked at old Edward very covertly. In fact, there was no need for him to remind him. How could the shrewd old housekeeper not know that it was time to get to the point?

"That's for sure," Old Edward said with a smile, "Well... why not take this opportunity to hand over the distribution of my master's inheritance to Hogwarts! I believe that Mr. Dumbledore's school

I will definitely be able to selflessly accomplish this great event that will benefit the entire world."

That's it! Yes, it was this sentence that made the whole auditorium boil. The representatives of those forces couldn't bear it any longer, because what the old butler actually said was "Leave all power to Hogg."

Woz handles”!

If they really want to make this happen, then these forces are just playing ball! But at this moment——

"No, I'm afraid that won't work."

Maka's answer exceeded most people's expectations.
