Chapter 2646 Yuxiang
"Miss Granger, I have seen that the Resistance Alliance has become active again on the front line of fighting against disasters, leading so many brave men to fight for the survival of mankind. As one of the people who once assisted Miss in establishing it, It’s a great honor.”
In Hermione's temporary office with simple furnishings, the old butler was calmly taking guest seats.
Well, it is said to be a guest seat, but it is actually just a lonely armchair.
In fact, even Hermione only had one more ordinary desk than this one for office work—there was piled up with various documents at the moment, and it was obviously not suitable for entertaining guests.
However, even in such a simple environment, the temperament of the old butler that had already penetrated into his bones was still visible to the naked eye. Whenever he is present, people always feel extremely comfortable, and even anxiety and anxiety seem to be ironed out.
"Don't say that," Hermione looked at the other party and said, "Mr. Steward is not just as simple as having assisted. Back then, if Mr. Maxime and I hadn't been in charge, we would not have been able to make it gain a firm foothold. Mr. is One of the founders, that's something pretty much everyone in the league knows today."
"Oh, I don't remember that I have done such a remarkable thing!" The old butler said with a smile, "What's more, the Rebel Alliance that has been reactivated now is far from the one that was only used to test the attitudes of all parties. It's a temporary organization, and it has nothing to do with me..."
As the old gentleman said this, seeing that Hermione seemed to want to correct him again, he waved at her.
"Don't worry about this little thing," he said, "and I don't want to get out of it. Just like this initiative to launch a counterattack plan proposed and led by Miss Granger this time, I, and I The Patriarch behind the scenes actually agrees very much... Otherwise, I would not have appeared in front of Miss today."
When Hermione heard this, her eyes lit up.
"Mr. Steward, do you mean—"
"Yes," the old butler nodded lightly with a smile, "Although Mr. Patriarch didn't come, my visit this time has already represented the attitude of Mr. Patriarch—Miss Granger must know it too, but in fact, I did too. Not long ago, I just separated from my lady and returned home in a hurry. I originally went to listen to some views of the owner on the current situation. Speaking of which, the owner spoke very highly of your previous decision, Miss Granger. Especially It is the matter of obtaining the friendship of those intelligent living corpses, which is indeed a far-sighted stroke."
"Oh, I just..." Hermione couldn't help laughing, "I just think that since they have wisdom, self, and feelings like us, they shouldn't be enemies anymore. And at that time Well, Rebes and the others just happened to express their desire to coexist peacefully with us humans... This can only be said to be, it naturally became like this? At least I didn't feel that I had put in too much effort to deliberately promote this. thing."
Although she said so, she also knew in her heart that becoming friends with those intelligent living corpses headed by Rebes is definitely beneficial and harmless.
Let’s not talk about forward-looking, after all, who knows what will happen in the future? But even if she only looked at her eyes, how much help did she get after having the help of those high-level living corpses? This is almost obvious.
However, there were some things, at least Hermione didn't want to be so snobby about it. If everything is viewed through the lens of seeking profit, then even the purest friendship seems to change its taste all of a sudden.
"Oh, I was rude, Miss Granger." The old butler is worthy of being a butler for decades, and he instantly sensed Hermione's thoughts, "But please don't pay too much attention to it. In fact, most of the time There is no conflict between whether there is any benefit and whether to do it or not. Just like this thing, it is only after the young lady did it that she just happened to get the benefit-this does not prove on the contrary, "Give someone a rose, keep the rest Fragrant (The roses ihe in mine)'?"
"Uh...um.
"Hermione thought for a while, then nodded.
On the other side, after comforting Hermione, the old butler continued: "Then, I think we should take advantage of this excitement and talk about the business!"
"...Is it something about the United States?"
Hermione's expression lifted, and she thought that the point was finally coming.
However, the next moment, the old housekeeper shook his head gently and said to her:
"Well, actually, I know what Miss is thinking about—after all, that's what Mr. Black and his party went to see the Patriarch before! But I have to say, the Stewart family is planning now. Some small thoughts are actually not that important. At least, it is far from as bad as Miss imagined... These are the words of the head of the house."
"It's not important?" Hermione was shocked when she heard this, "If what John Stewart said is true, it means that we are in danger of being stabbed deeply in the back at any time! And according to my guess, what he said is very likely to be true!"
"That's right!" The old housekeeper nodded, "That's true. The Stewart family has gone astray, and that's how it was a long time ago... But, miss, based on your understanding of the existence of 'living corpses', do you think The Stewart family... can they really easily transform humans into living corpses in batches?"
"this……"
"Maybe they have indeed achieved something," the old butler continued, "With the research on the 'Obscurant' who has many similarities with it a long time ago, and the silence for so long after the disaster, the Stewart family There must be something in my hand. But I don’t believe that they can accomplish anything—the Patriarch doesn’t believe it either. You know, it’s the product of Haierbo who worked so hard to get it out of the demon summoning technique. , the Stuart family wants to artificially manufacture it through other methods? Is it that simple?"
Having said that, Hermione was still silent, but the old butler suddenly changed the subject again.
"Of course," he frowned, "more importantly, the opponent we are facing now is not comparable to a mere Stewart family who has gone astray. 'Witch Kern' is Is it? In fact, after learning about this name from Mr. Black, the head of the family looked through the books in the library of my Blois family and found some... records that made us feel bad... ...I heard that the lady is planning to go to Hogwarts Castle? I think, after hearing this clue, the lady had better think more about it..."
