Chapter 2048 Coercion
It is not a big deal for the Brandt family to transfer the family wizards in the Granger camp - it is said that they are going to Denmark, but as long as they cross the border of northern Germany, that is not a big deal. Have you stepped on the land of Denmark?
If they can use this excuse to take back the people, the Brandt family can increase the defense force of the northern border by the way. This is simply killing two birds with one stone.
It can be seen that this Miss Brandt has inherited the shrewdness of the family.
But it's a pity that Maxim didn't care about the people sent by the Brandt family to the wizarding coalition!
As we all know, the Brandt family's foundation is almost entirely on the dragon farm, and the combination of dragon trainers and a large number of fire dragons is the real combat power of their family. As for the manpower support they provided, it was nothing compared to it. Even in the previous tragic Weymouth defensive battle, they were the first group of people to retreat.
To be honest, Madam Maxim actually wished for a suitable reason to transfer those guys away from the coalition forces!
As for the girl in front of him... Maxim originally thought that the person who came today should be someone like the head deacon of the Brandt family.
"Miss Brandt, you...forget it, I don't want to embarrass you too much, please go back! Please tell your Patriarch, in fact, helping Denmark is equivalent to helping your country, and then... the alliance will Consider supporting Miss Blois' actions. By the way, if it is necessary to talk again, please send a more suitable person."
"you--"
At this point, the young lady of the Brandt family obviously couldn't pretend any longer—the previous timid appearance was not her true character at all.
"Madam Maxim, let me tell you the truth! I came to Beauxbatons today, and I never thought of leaving!"
Suddenly, she completely flinched before, and suddenly said loudly:
"Before I left the mansion, the owner had already made it clear to me that if I go back without completing the task he gave me, I will be punished. But it doesn't matter, even if I lose for a while, the owner has other arrangements! In fact, When I set off to Beauxbatons, the owner of the house had already sent people to start the arrangement at the same time..."
Hearing what she said, before Maxim could react, she suddenly pulled out a strange-looking dagger from her sleeve, and put it directly on his fair and tender neck.
Immediately afterwards, she gritted her teeth silently,
And stared straight at Maxim and said:
"Madam, you can try to guess what will happen if I go down with the knife? Don't worry, if there is time, there is still more or less."
A cut on the neck will naturally bleed profusely, but it certainly won't die immediately. Just looking at her expression of hidden anxiety, but inexplicably becoming confident, it is obvious that it is not that simple.
And actually, more importantly, that dagger...does look suspicious.
It was a dagger with a scarlet blade, as if it had been soaked in a lot of blood, and it was just fished out of the blood when it was about to be used. It looked bright, but it was even more thrilling.
This might be some kind of secret belonging to the Brandt family, at least according to Maxim's knowledge, he didn't recognize what was hidden in it at the moment.
After staying for a while, the girl pursed her lips and said to Mrs. Maxim threateningly:
"Can't you guess it? It's actually very simple - I believe you should be familiar with the 'Twelve Uses of Dragon's Blood' discovered by Albus Dumbledore? One of the uses is to use it as a potion after dilution The absorption enhancer used. And the blade of this dagger has already stored sufficient diluted dragon blood, as well as... greatly concentrated blood of the living corpse."
After saying these words, the girl's pretty face had turned pale, and a layer of cold sweat faintly oozes from her forehead. However, she still suppressed the fear in her heart, and finally said:
"Madame Maxim, if I haven't walked out of Beauxbaton's gate by myself before lunch time, then the news of your affair with Haierbo will immediately spread among various forces, and the owner will personally bring people here I want someone from you."
framed? Blackmail?
This kind of vulgar but never outdated drama naturally has its reasons for being rampant in every era. If one is not handled well, the ending is predictable.
However, it is true that the diluted dragon's blood can be used to promote the absorption of potion ingredients - after all, this is one of Dumbledore's most commendable discoveries.
But the question is, what will happen when the human body absorbs the blood of the living corpse? Will it turn normal people into living corpses?
It has to be said that there are still a large number of blanks to be filled in the current research on living corpses. However, at least now, many people already know about the birth of the living corpse.
Even though everyone hasn't understood the part about the demon summoning technique, the fact that they changed in the mysterious gray fog at the beginning has at least been recorded.
As for the blood on their bodies... At least just touching them would definitely not turn normal humans into living corpses.
Of course, it would be difficult to say that it was forcibly absorbed into the body like this Miss Brandt in front of me—so far, no one has been crazy enough to do such a thing!
"Your Patriarch, what exactly do you want?"
Now that things had happened, Maxim obviously didn't want to be polite with her any more, and the hesitation and pity he had shown to her before had naturally disappeared long ago.
Regardless of whether she dared to cut off her own neck or not, just doing so willingly and actively in front of others was no different from a lunatic.
On the other side, when Miss Brandt heard that Maxim finally asked this question, she immediately said:
"The head of the family said that Granger and the others should be called to the border between our country and Denmark to resist the coming zombies. People from the Blois family were also wanted, but now that they plan to go directly to Denmark, it seems that It's also okay... Next, I will be by your side, so please don't do anything that makes me feel 'uneasy', understand?"
Judging from her conditions, the Patriarch of the Brandt family wanted to make Maxim his puppet to some extent, and it was this Miss Brandt's life that was used to coerce her.
However, this condition is really difficult for Mrs. Maxim!
But Maxim didn't expect that in the moment when she was in trouble, another unexpected change took place in this matter.
