Chapter 265: Four Dark Clouds
Tai Fleur's sneak attack plan failed in the end, but it would be a bit stupid to talk about the reasons for his failure.
As soon as the tip of his staff pointed at Maca, a sudden loud noise passed by his ears.
Tefler, who was already a little nervous, was frightened by this, and the wand in his hand couldn't hold it steady, it rolled and jumped between his fingers, and fell to the ground while spinning.
After he took a closer look, he found that the ice giant had completely collapsed, and the ice fragments scattered in all directions, turning into a pile of large and small ice lumps.
Although Maca was thinking about the relationship between Transfiguration and Ancient Summoning, Maca certainly noticed his little trick.
It's just such a trivial matter that he doesn't bother to pursue it!
In any case, the enmity between the two was settled, although Maca didn't really care about it at all.
"Maca McLean is the winner of this duel!" Professor Martin was also surprised by Maca's magic, and he announced it belatedly until now.
"Then goodbye, Mr. Tafuller." Maca nodded casually at the other party, and then turned to Professor Martin, "Oh, I'm sorry, the hall of your school is full of water... "
Professor Martin shook his head immediately, and said with a smile on his old face, "No, it's okay, kid... It's nothing trivial to witness such a wonderful application of the spell."
He paused, and then asked curiously, "Was that Transfiguration just now?"
Maca nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it's just an ordinary shape deformation, there are no other tricks."
He said so, but even if it is the shape-shifting technique at the physical level, if it is necessary to control the flow of water and manipulate it for real-time combat, it is absolutely impossible to complete it without a rich and solid foundation in the shape-shifting technique.
Just when the two were chatting casually, a well-dressed old man hurried in from the main entrance of the hall, and looked around inside.
Not long after, the visitor's sight stopped on Tai Fleur, and then he walked over there ignoring the water everywhere in the hall.
"Oh! Young master, you are..." The old man was talking, but he paused again, and then said in a low voice, "Young master, the master told you to go home quickly! There are guests at home!"
The old man who called Tai Fleur the young master greeted him anxiously, as if something important had really happened.
Taifle got up from the ground with the old man's support, his body was dripping with water, and he was extremely annoyed in his heart.
This young man who just graduated not long ago hated Maca to the core.
But even so, as the heir of the Taifler family, he can still distinguish the priorities of the matter. After squinting his eyes secretly, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes, he snorted coldly and followed the old man straight away.
From the beginning to the end, he didn't look at Maca again, he was really afraid that he would cast the death curse if he couldn't help it.
He, Master Taifle, was originally a very jealous person, not only small-minded, but also especially fond of holding grudges. If he finds an opportunity, I'm afraid he will retaliate against Maca without hesitation.
"Luna, let's go out for a walk!" Maka called to Luna who was standing aside, thought for a while, and then said to Furong, "Miss Delacour, do you want to come together?"
This time I came to France at the invitation of Furong. Although some messy things happened, Maca would not take this kind of trivial matter like a joke between friends.
Right now, he plans to go to the school with Luna to enjoy the scenery. It would be rude if he doesn't ask "Master" to go with him.
Fleur and even her younger sister Gabriel have been playing with them these few days, and the friendship between the four has deepened a bit, and it is no longer as estranged as it was at Hogwarts.
"Oh! I'm going to call Gabriel, you go to the front garden first!"
...
Maca's side is relaxed and happy,
After all, it was summer vacation, and the matter about the Monument of Bewitching had begun to emerge. Under the state of greatly reduced stress, this trip to France so far can indeed be called leisurely.
In contrast, Voldemort's side is not happy at all.
Under the dignified atmosphere of the Death Eaters, Voldemort once again calculated the follow-up plan.
Compared with the radicalness when the wizard war was launched last time, and the various temptations so far. This time, Voldemort was more cautious.
The dark lines he planted in the British magic world are advancing slowly, and various groups of intelligent creatures that believe in darkness will also be twisted into one rope by him. He believes that the real opportunity for a decisive battle is in the near future.
And at that time, even if the old man Dumbledore still hides his strength, he will definitely not be able to resist the attack of the army of darkness!
"...Master, the Lestrange couple have left the habitat of the evil fairies. The negotiations were successful. Those evil fairies are very satisfied with the promise given by the master... Now they are going to the Tyfull family to negotiate."
At the head of the long table, Voldemort nodded expressionlessly.
...
At the same time, within the territory of the Taifler family.
As for the Taylor family, there used to be a duke title in the French Muggle world, but during the reign of terror between 1793 and 1794, the title was cut off.
It is said that when the Duke's ancestor of the Taylor family was about to be executed, he cast a concealment spell on his neck, pretending that his head had been chopped off, thus escaping the fate of death.
It's just that some of it is true and some of it is false, so not many people can make it clear. It's just that this interesting history is still recorded in some magical histories.
Perhaps due to the influence of the duke's ancestor, the Taifler family's territory is quite large, and the family's background in the Muggle world is relatively rich.
At this very moment, in the living room of that large French-style villa in the very center of the Taifler family's territory, the Lestrange couple were having a meeting with the head of the Taifler family.
Although his wife, Bellatrix, had a higher status in front of Voldemort than her husband, in this type of negotiation, her husband, Rodolph Slestrange, still dominated.
Not for anything else, just because Bellatrix is really a bit paranoid and crazy. Although she is favored more because of this, it is not suitable to be in charge of negotiations.
At this moment, her husband, Rodolphus, is analyzing various benefits and losses for Patriarch Taifler, trying to facilitate a future mutual benefit and win-win plan.
But at this moment, Erde Taifler, the son of Patriarch Taifler, happened to be brought back home by the old housekeeper.
"Father."
Erde, who had just been taught a lesson by Maca and rushed back from Beauxbatons in a hurry, bumped into old Taifle in the living room before he could change his clothes.
"Huh?" Seeing that his son was covered in water, old Taifle frowned immediately, "Erd, what's going on... Forget it, let's not talk about this, you go and change clothes!"
After finishing speaking, he said to the Lestrange couple with a little apology: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry...that's my son, Erde Tefler."
Erde got used to being scolded by his father early in the morning since he was a child, and he didn't care about it now. He just nodded slightly and went upstairs to change his clothes silently.
After a while, he hurried down to the living room again, and walked towards the sofa where his father received guests again.
"You two distinguished guests, I was a little rude just now, please don't mind me." Erde said solemnly, adhering to the etiquette among wizard families.
Bellatrix, who was sitting next to him, glanced at him coldly, and then simply looked away. On the contrary, her husband Rodolphus smiled slightly, indicating that he didn't care.
Old Taifle asked his son to sit down on the sofa beside him, and then he continued to speak on the basis of what he just said.
"... I don't know how many forces Mr. Voldemort has contacted. If there is no more definite guarantee, no matter how many benefits are in front of my eyes, our Taifler family will not take risks easily."
Old Taifle said it calmly, but the meaning in it was already very clear.
Rodolphs nodded, and replied with an understandable expression: "I can tell you with certainty that the master has already negotiated terms with some vampire families in the United States, and the dementors in this country have also I will completely devote myself to the master's command... Moreover, my wife and I have just made a clear agreement with the evil fairies..."
Having said that, he paused for a moment, and then said in a more emphatic tone: "Next, the master will go to communicate with the giant settlement in person, and the result is naturally beyond doubt!"
"...In addition to these intelligent magical creatures that believe in darkness, many pure-blood wizard families in this country have also responded to the master's secret call. The general offensive of the British magic world will really start soon!"
After Rodolphus finished speaking, seeing Patriarch Tefule was still thinking about it, he revealed another astonishing secret.
"If you still have doubts," he added emphatically, dragging out the end, "Some dark wizards from the Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Magic will also officially join the ranks of the master's Death Eaters..."
"I think, Patriarch Taifle, you should understand what this means?"
When old Taifle heard this, his eyes widened suddenly, and a series of seemingly impossible guesses flashed through his mind.
"Could it be that"
Rodolphus immediately waved his hand, and didn't let old Taifle continue to ask, but the expression on his face had already expressed what he wanted to say.
"Since that's the case, I, the Taifler family, also count as a share!"
Under Voldemort's heavy planning, not only in the United Kingdom, but even many forces in the whole of Europe are ready to move.
This time, Voldemort's plan remained the same, but the scope of his plan was no longer the same as the last wizarding war.
But, would Dumbledore really let him succeed so easily?
