Chapter 1596 Declaration of Counterattack
A sumptuous lunch that was quite enjoyable.
After all, no matter how frantic Maca was, he wouldn't be able to put this feeling on the table and make everyone feel overwhelmed.
Although... Actually Maca can also see that most of the big guys are just like themselves, trying to force a smile in order to take into account the interests of others.
"...Mr. Blois, I heard that the wizarding block you prepared for the refugees not only has beautiful scenery, but also has a long history. Then...the residents who lived there...is it okay?"
"Well, of course it doesn't matter! Miss Granger, please don't worry, the subsidies and rewards I give from Castle Blois are enough to make them happily go to other places to settle down."
"Oh, uh...that's good, thank you for doing so much for us!"
"No, compared to the help Mr. McLean brought to our Blois family, this is nothing at all—a problem that can be solved with money is not a problem."
Right now, everyone was listening to the conversation between Hermione and Mr. Blois. In fact, it can be heard that Hermione wanted to use this topic to express her gratitude to the other party again, but while chatting, she was a little confused by Mr. Blois's "full of pride" argument. Why did you answer the call?
"Father."
Just as Hermione took another sip of grape juice from her glass to cover up her subtle emotions, Willie, who was sitting next to Mr. Blois, suddenly touched her father's elbow.
"At the dinner table, don't mention money."
"Oh, I'm sorry honey, Dad didn't mention it!"
Today's Willie has become quite agile in speaking, and her expression has become much richer than before. Only when he was in a bad mood would he change back to this extraordinarily concise style of speaking.
And Mr. Blois is worthy of being a father who dotes on his daughter, he immediately felt Willie's dissatisfaction, and quickly responded softly.
Immediately afterwards, he gently put down the wine glass in his hand, and said with a complete face:
"In short, everyone, please rest assured to live in France—as long as my Blois family does not fall, it will still be safe here!"
After uttering such a promise in person,
He then turned around and said:
"Since everyone has almost finished their lunch, let me talk about some more important business! At present, the personnel sent by the family to monitor the movements around the mist have sent back the first batch of detailed information. Before lunch, I just I went through all the report documents..."
As soon as Willy's father said this, everyone at the table, including Maca, put down the tableware or cups in their hands, and turned their eyes to him.
After a pause, Mr. Blois continued:
"Yes, Hai Erbo himself has not received any valuable information yet, and the fog that covers most of Kent County, the outer part is basically quiet, and there is no special abnormal situation."
But just now, he waved his hand slightly.
"However, 'no abnormality' can sometimes be regarded as a kind of 'abnormality'-there are so many Muggle cities in Kent, after all, only a few large and small towns from London to Canterbury were evacuated before. !After the fog spread this time, I haven’t even seen the shadow of a refugee around the fog, which is obviously very unusual.”
In this regard, Bulova did not continue to speculate along the train of thought, but just thinking about it based on the zombie attack not long ago, some possibilities are ready to emerge.
Ron scratched his scalp, shook his head and said in a low voice:
"Oh, what the world will look like in the future... I really don't want to imagine!"
However, at this moment, Maca, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke:
"None of us know what the future will look like—nor does Hai Erbo. But in the next short period of time, no matter what happens in the fog in Kent, Hai Erbo will definitely not act rashly."
"Why?" Mr. Blois couldn't help asking after hearing the words, "Because he was injured?"
Seeing that everyone turned their attention to him again, Maka slightly shook his head and said, "It's not 'he was injured', but he was injured 'again'."
Regarding the specific situation at Hogwarts last night, Maca hadn't mentioned it since she came to Blois Castle. And everyone probably saw that he didn't take the initiative to explain, so even the friends who didn't ask him until he went to solve the meteorite crash.
Until now, Maca sighed slightly, and looked from left to right at his little friends who were staring at him.
"Presumably everyone wants to know what happened last night? Perhaps, you all saw the fleeting meteor." He said quietly, "First of all, let me tell you some bad news—Hogg Woz Castle has fallen."
Even when they found out that Maca hadn't mentioned this matter, some people had already made some psychological preparations. But when Maca told the news, everyone's heart trembled suddenly, and they all froze on their chairs.
"Collapsed...?"
Neville touched his mouth and muttered to himself, with a dull look on his face. Hannah on the side couldn't help but grasped his arm tightly, also showing a slightly dumbfounded expression.
The expressions of Hermione, Ron, and Ginny were exceptionally similar at this moment, they all pursed their lips slightly, lowered their eyelids and said nothing.
Even Willie, who left school halfway, blinked at the moment, with a hint of sadness in her eyes. After all, it was not only the place where she first met Maca, the benefactor, but also one of the few places in the world where she felt at ease.
Seeing that everyone was very depressed, Maca didn't pause for long, and immediately continued:
"There's bad news, so there's also good news...Although Haierbo's sudden appearance with injuries interrupted my plan to resist the meteorite, he also suffered more serious injuries. Even if he has the ability to heal himself, But at least in a short period of time, it is impossible for him to return to his peak state."
Speaking of this, Maca couldn't help but spread his hands.
"So, he will definitely not take the initiative to ask for trouble these days. In fact, during this period of time, he will hide from me and prevent me from taking advantage of his serious injury to find trouble for him!"
Judging from Haierbo's various behavioral signs, he obviously needs to rely on that demon's body to do other things. What's more, if Maca really ruined his body, it would be even more difficult to do it like before.
"Of course," Maca said with a smile, "I did intend to take this opportunity to find trouble with him! We were all forced out of England by him, how could we let him relax in secret? What about recuperating?"
