Chapter 577

Among the many activities of the so-called "upper class", the content of the activities themselves is often not the focus, and the ball at Beauxbaton's is the same. What's even more ironic is that there is not even a single person who is the focus of attention at the ball tonight. Most of the multi-party forces dispersed, forming a pair of dance partners for their own interests and needs. And what's more worth mentioning is that most of the wizards present are men, so there will inevitably be cases where they cannot find a female partner. Since that's the case, it's impossible for a man to pair with a man, right? Madam Maxim naturally took this into consideration, so she specially invited some women from French wizarding families to this large ball, so as not to embarrass too many male guests. However, where do the wizards representing their respective forces really want to dance? As soon as the scene started, Maca and Fanny didn't even stand up to the music, when they realized that there was a scene in the auditorium that was more embarrassing than the male wizard being ignored: Mrs. Maxim had set aside the long table just now. Withdrew from the auditorium and replaced it with round tables arranged in a circle. But now, a large part of the wizards sitting around those round tables did not move, so that the female wizards who came here at the invitation of Mrs. Maxim had to stay in their seats with a stiff face. If at the end of the day, you can't wait for the gentlemen's invitation to dance, then you will really lose face and go to grandma's house! Then, what are those wizards without female companions doing? Maca looked around at their expressions, and immediately understood the state of those wizards—their attention was obviously focused on communicating with other forces. "...It's not easy for Maxim now," a middle-aged male wizard with a moustache next to him whispered to his companion, "If you want me to say, this dance is simply unnecessary." His name When the companion heard this, he immediately shook his head. "This has nothing to do with being superfluous or not. The key is that she was supposed to participate in the presidency of this inheritance distribution, but she always wanted to stay out of it. Look, the relationship between Beauxbaton and Nicole Flamel Can she figure it out?" "Well, what should we do..." The bearded wizard sighed, "Even if small and medium-sized forces like us gather together according to her suggestion, there will probably be all sorts of problems Fatal rift—I want to use us to cover her, even if we are willing to make a deal, how can it be so easy?" "Hmph, it's better to stick together, at least it's more stable." His companion Glancing around for a few times, he said calmly, "As for whether you will get any benefits in the end, it depends on the luck of each party..." Maca stood up and extended her hand to Fanny while listening to the wizards talking in a low voice. invite. The beautiful melody was gradually playing in the auditorium, and most of the male wizards who were planning to dance had already invited gentlemen to those they had already made an appointment with, and couples of men and women were skating to the dance floor respectively. Although the wizards who chose to dance accounted for at least half of the people present, the huge auditorium still seemed a bit loose and empty. This is an undeniable fact. "I'm afraid Beauxbaton will lose some face today." Fanny put her hand on Maca's outstretched palm, saluted him politely, and said softly, "Mr. McLean, you Do you think there will be any changes in a while? Will Mrs. Maxim think of some way to save it?" "Probably deal with it?" Maca nodded at her, and then led her into the room like everyone else. On the dance floor, "As for what method she will choose and how much thought she will spend, no one knows. Well... If you want me to say, there is actually no need to deliberately try to redeem, after all, the highlight of tonight must be at the end. Instead of wasting energy on these small flaws, it is better to use more energy to re-plan the issue of inheritance distribution.

"He is right. In the final analysis, the purpose of the gathering of various forces this time is only one. Like this dance tonight, at best it serves as a buffer. Since this is an empty space to shape the surface The shell, even if someone knocks it to pieces, there may not be too many people to remember it afterwards - everyone's attention is focused on other places! After analyzing it, Fanny also agreed, "By the way, what about the steward with a foreign surname just now? Behind him..." Although Fanny didn't finish her sentence, Maca naturally understood her question easily. "The manager doesn't know, and the other party seems to be very careful not to reveal his identity easily. He recalled, "I have already let him go, I believe that in the near future, that person will try to find a chance to get close to me...Of course, if he still has the intention to continue to reach out!" It's not surprising if you stop immediately when you notice something is wrong. But to be honest, it may be quite difficult for that kind of person to completely give up Nicole Flamel's alchemy legacy. It is already taking the risk of being noticed by the Patriarch, and it is not impossible to bet an extra bet for this." Then..." Fanny hesitated for a moment, and then said softly, "I will find time to hand over to the Patriarch. to the message. " "As long as the channel for passing the message is okay, you can do that at any time." said Maca. "If Monsieur Blois can take care of the man before he comes to me, then I'll be happy too." The two of them lowered their voices and chatted, while staggering their steps, scrambling back and forth near the edge of the dance floor, and like most people, they did not put their minds on dancing. After a while, Fanny suddenly pursed her lips , seemed to be a little hesitant. "Mr. McLean, are you..." She seemed to be still worried about how to word, opened her mouth, then paused before continuing, "Are you not very familiar with dance steps? When Maca heard this, she couldn't help grinning. "Someone taught me some, and then I wrote down some of the commonly used ones." It's just... well, the lady who taught me wasn't too serious, and I didn't dance much myself, you know. When he spoke, his expression didn't look awkward, but Fanny felt a little embarrassed. After all, although Maca danced a little weirdly, she didn't always step on people like a beginner. The instep. Since no one in this dance party is really paying attention to the dance, what does it matter how well Maca dances? She couldn't help mentioning it now, but it seemed too fussy. "Don't worry, you dance you It's fine, I guarantee that your feet will be safe and sound in the end. Maca joked, "I can feel that your dance steps are very standard, and dancing with you is not so tiring." You know, the one who taught me to dance once was amazing. I spent a lot of effort to escape her fierce attack on my toes. What he mentioned at this time was, of course, the dance at McMillan's house back then. Charlotte, who had suddenly arrived at that time, used him as a shield, but it also left a deep impression on him. Probably Since then, every time he attends a ball, he will remember that big beautiful woman stomping on his instep. Just when Fanny felt a little amused by Maca's words, he heard a "bang" There was a loud noise, and the door of the auditorium was opened from the outside. "Mrs. Maxim, where is my son? "A middle-aged wizard dressed exquisitely and gorgeously broke into the auditorium with a few followers, and asked loudly, "I need you to give me an explanation!" In the auditorium, most of the dancing wizards stopped and turned to look at the gate. Maca and Fanny looked at each other, and they also looked there. Maca didn't know each other. Who is it that came, but it seems that some people present know the identity of that person. Soon, there was a muffled buzz of discussion in the auditorium. "That is the current Patriarch of the Taifler family, Enes de Téfleur. Fanny introduced Maca in a low voice. Sure enough, Madam Maxim spoke the next moment. "Good evening, Mr. Taifler?" "Although it is obvious that the head of the Taifle family is not kind to the visitor, Mrs. Maxime can't lose etiquette because of this, and she has to be as polite as possible. "I don't think it's so 'good', Mr. Taifler frowned, strode across the crowd on the dance floor, and everyone made way for him, "Mrs. Maxim, I think you should understand the reason why I came here!" " Of the two representatives sent by the Taifler family this time, one died that night, and the other is still unconscious until now, and the latter is even one of the orthodox heirs of the Taifler family. The first two victims of the strife, the Taifler family, are considered bloody bad luck. But even so, they can't swallow this bad breath because the murderer's identity is unknown, right? Since they want to find someone who can take the blame, then I can only find Mrs. Maxim. The matter happened in Beauxbaton, and she has to bear some responsibility. The other forces are silently watching, and some are indifferent, Some even put on a gesture of watching the show. Of course, there are also people like Akinbad, the president of the Federation, and Edward, the old housekeeper, who are worried about Mrs. Maxim.

All of a sudden, in this luxuriously decorated banquet hall, all the beings showed various expressions. "The father of the young master of the Taylor family?" Maka said softly and abruptly, "He didn't show up until now?"
