Chapter 263 The Ultimate Dowry

"How's it going? Are you confident?" Lucius seemed to be concerned, but in fact his tone was full of affirmation and pride.

Narcissa walked forward, gave Xie Lin a gentle hug, and then gave Lucius a roll of her eyes, "See what you said, a competition of this level..." Then she looked around with some arrogance, He glanced at the other three warriors and said, "How can an opponent of this level be my son's opponent?"

Xie Lin almost choked on his saliva. He coughed twice to signal his mother to stop provoking hostility for him. Oh my god, I know you want to show off your son, but even if it’s the truth, don’t say it directly in front of others.

Mr. Monroe snorted coldly, expressing his dissatisfaction, while Mrs. Weasley and Bill also looked unhappy.

Although Harry was the Warrior with the most points in the second event, Schelling was still far ahead in the total score - the key is that the way he broke through was so surprising. You must know that the surprised people mentioned here include the three major players in Europe. Including the principal of the magic school. Use ancient dragon language to train the evil dragon guarding the golden egg, use a new and original human body transformation technique to sneak into the bottom of the lake... Both times used magic that had never been seen before...

So, what new methods will Schelling use for the third project?

Even Dumbledore probably couldn't figure it out.

Therefore, even if Mr. Monroe and Mrs. Weasley were not convinced, they could not say anything to refute.

Eleanor's parents did not feel dissatisfied, but looked at Xie Lin with a smile and admiration.

Mr. Hohenheim came over with steady steps and held out his palm. Lucius knew in his heart that the other party was the most powerful pure-blood family in Germany and could stand side by side with the Malfoy family. He did not dare to neglect and hurriedly reached out his hands to hold them together. (He did not know about the Sleeping Dragon Society or the alliance between Schelling and the Hohenheim family)

"Mr. Malfoy, I really envy you for giving birth to such an outstanding son." He glanced at Xie Lin first, and then continued gently and politely, "Although I didn't come to the scene for the first two games, I was also in the newspaper. After seeing the detailed process, it seems to me that the other three warriors in this competition are just running with us, and the final champion will almost definitely belong to your young master. "

Although Lucius thought so too, he was obviously well versed in the hypocrisy of nobles. He smiled and said, "You are too flattering to him when you say this. Don't forget that he is 3 years younger than the two warriors. And I think,” he paused before saying thoughtfully, “everything is unknown until the real results of the game come out.”

"Of course that's the case," Mr. Hohenheim replied knowingly: "I specifically told Eleanor to go all out. Even if she doesn't win the championship in the end, she can't lose the family's reputation and image."

"Sir," Xie Lin interrupted, "please allow me to say that Eleanor's strength is no worse than mine, and she also has many advantages in alchemy items. You should have more confidence in her." Xie Lin's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "Of course, I will go all out and just rely on my strength to get this honor."

"I really like young people like you who are humble and polite, know how to respect their elders, and have a clear understanding of their own strength, and will not fall into arrogance because of their youth and achievements," Mr. Hohenheim said with a look of appreciation and satisfaction. Expression, "But my opinion will not change. Eleanor told me about your strength. From her description, I can confirm that she will never be your opponent...

"To be honest, as a father, I only have one daughter, and I know her thoughts best..." He showed a meaningful smile, "Don't look at her quiet and easy-going look. This girl has been here since she was a child. She is very arrogant and has to be strong and competitive in everything. I have never seen her praise someone so highly in her words——"

"You are the first one -" Mr. Hohenheim's eyes flashed with a flash of light, "Young Master Malfoy. I wonder what you think of my daughter?"

Lucius and Narcissa looked at each other, both showing expressions of realization——

It seems that they are not looking for trouble, but are here to get married!

Lucius curled his lips disdainfully. Women will only affect the speed at which a man pulls out his wand. A good man should put his career first. How can he be tied up by personal affairs between men and women? Moreover, Xie Lin, a bastard, has too many romantic encounters. Come on...

Lucius was not without spies at Hogwarts. He contacted Snape regularly. In addition to helping Snape collect some banned potion materials from abroad, he would also take the opportunity to inquire about two My son's current situation at school.

According to Snape, Sherrin seemed to be in love with both young ladies of the Greengrass family. Then, there seems to be a girlfriend in Ravenclaw. If we include the missing eldest daughter of the Shafiq family. He already has 4 girlfriends. This guy still doesn’t know how to stop. Damn it——

Why didn't I receive such treatment when I was young... Lucius shook his head hurriedly and quickly dismissed this slightly dangerous idea.

Narcissa was smiling all over her face. In her opinion, having a girl like him meant that her son was excellent.

"This..." Xie Lin hesitated.

Seeing that there was something going on, Mr. Hohenheim threw out a heavy bait, "Through the information I obtained from various channels, as well as my own observations just now, I must say that I very much agree with Eleanor's vision. You will definitely She is a good match for Eleanor, and for this reason——"

"I am willing to make concessions for my daughter's lifelong happiness," Mr. Hohenheim's eyes flashed with a compelling light, his voice was steady and powerful, showing great determination, "I promise here in the name of the current head of the Hohenheim family that if our two families are lucky enough to marry, our family will not ask about your personal feelings. Except for Eleanor, no matter how many emotional entanglements you have in other places, we will never interfere, and we will also give you a big gift-"

"The core secret inheritance of our Hohenheim family-human alchemy, I can decide and give it to you two. The engagement gift is for you. "

"And you, on the day when Eleanor succeeds as the next head of the family, will also obtain the position of 'son-in-law of the head of the family' in the Hohenheim family, which is a status and power that matches the position of the head of the family. When the head of the family is not there, you will have the supreme power to supervise all matters of the Hohenheim family on behalf of the head of the family. "

This gift is indeed unexpectedly generous. Even if they don't know how precious the core inheritance of the Hohenheim family is, they can guess it. What's more powerful is the status of the "son-in-law of the head of the family", which is equivalent to Xie Ling and his descendants directly owning the huge resources of the two families in the future.

Narcissa has covered her mouth, and she was so surprised that she couldn't speak.

Lucius' pupils flashed with brilliance, and his fingers had tightly grasped his snake-shaped silver-plated cane. At this moment, he looked at Xie Ling, and he wanted to rush up to accept this marriage on behalf of Xie Ling.

"Merlin's beard!" Lucius regretted it in his heart, "I apologize for those disrespectful thoughts that just came to my mind. A good woman will not only not affect the speed of a man's wand drawing, but also make her man fight for twenty, no, thirty years less!... Why didn't I have such treatment back then..."

Even though Xie Lin was his beloved biological son, Lucius couldn't help but feel envious and jealous of Xie Lin for the second time-

Just now, he inadvertently recalled Narcissa and her two sisters, the beautiful sisters who were said to be the "three golden flowers of the Black family" in that era, and began to imagine, but his heart was sour, "I am also very handsome, I am also a rich second generation, I am also tall, rich and handsome, why, why, you say why, brat, you are really... too enviable..."

Although Xie Lin was a little shocked, he did not agree.

He knew that in that second, as long as he nodded, his power would almost double at the moment of nodding.

After all, the Hohenheim family is now just his ally. Although they cooperate with him in various aspects and will cooperate with his plans and actions, they are not under his control and deployment.

However, he has his own bottom line and persistence. He will not use his feelings as a political bargaining chip.

He did not refuse, but this was purely because he did not hate Eleanor. He was not sure whether the two of them could develop further. After all, what man could refuse a beautiful, intelligent, shrewd and virtuous woman?

Not long after, the people in the conference room were almost gone.

The Malfoy family walked out of the slightly crowded conference room and walked slowly by the lake.

They spent a morning in the castle and walked around the entire castle.

When Lucius passed by the corridor. From time to time, he commented on the aesthetics of some statues and portraits, and seemed dissatisfied. Narcissa was obviously very happy to visit Hogwarts again, and kept telling Shalling about all the interesting things that happened during her school days, and even mentioned that Lucius was beaten up by her sister, Shalling's aunt Bella, for trying to get close to her.

(In the original book, Bella didn't seem to like Lucius very much. When she mentioned Lucius, her tone was very disdainful. Of course, it was probably because she disdained Lucius for being a traitor after Voldemort's fall, but it might also be the impression she had during her school days)
