Chapter 815

"Patriarch, Master Augustine came to visit unexpectedly, saying that he wanted to discuss specific countermeasures with our Werther family on the issue of completing the marriage contract..."

In the upper study of the Werthers' mansion, the old Patriarch was listening casually.

He didn't know why Mario Augustine appeared at this time, let alone how the other party came here. You know, the black market can no longer enter or exit, right?

Well, could it be that the young master was shopping here before the black market was blocked?

Of course, if you really want to get in and out, the Werther family like them naturally has a way. What the old Patriarch is more concerned about now is the real purpose of Mario's sudden visit.

"...Patriarch, if it's inconvenient for you, let's just find a reason to let him go back first?"

Hearing what the steward who came to report said so, the old Patriarch waved his hand casually.

"No, the heir of the Augustine family, I still have to see you." He thought to himself, "How many people came here? Did you let them in?"

"Oh! Of course, I have asked them to go to the side hall to rest..."

Seeing the old Patriarch's question, the steward immediately nodded repeatedly.

"However, there were very few people who came, and there were only two people including Master Augustine—the other one seemed to be the accompanying female servant."

"Well," the old Patriarch nodded, "Rangba—"

The old Werther owner just wanted to habitually ask Barno to receive him, but soon he realized the key. Immediately, he shook his head somewhat disappointedly.

"Let Charlie go! And you go too... I'll change my clothes and I'll go down in a while."

After the steward nodded in response, then hurriedly turned and left, the old Patriarch looked at the re-closed door and sighed softly.

"What exactly is the Augustine family sending him here for?"

Of course, the old Patriarch Werther just thought that Mario came here according to their family's decision. Hmm... Maybe, the Augustine family knew about Hai Erbo's appearance through some channels?

"Hmph, if there is only one person coming, maybe it's more likely to be an asylum... I found that I couldn't get out after wandering around the black market, so I came to our place to find out the situation? Well, maybe I need to stay overnight .”

The old owner obviously ignored Miriam who was traveling with Marius subconsciously.

While the old Patriarch Werther was thinking about it and talking to himself from time to time, Maca, who was still invisible, was actually standing next to the old man's desk. Just a few seconds after the steward knocked on the door of the study, he had already stepped in.

At this time, Maca, who had also heard the report just now, was thinking in the opposite direction from the old Patriarch.

"'Mario Augustine'...will the other follower be that Miriam?" He stood still on the spot, thinking silently, "This time Charlotte's engagement has been revived, so it should be It started from the Augustine family... plus the important person from Hogwarts who came to Mario before, there is Miriam in the crowd behind him."

Thinking of this, Maca couldn't help curling her lips.

"Let's observe again in a while! If Miriam is really the 'culprit' who incited the Augustine family to make trouble, then things will be interesting..."

Seeing that the old Patriarch Werther had stood up, Maca casually gave way and let the other party go to the inner room of the study to change clothes.

In fact, at the beginning, he wanted to show up to "chat with" the old Patriarch after entering the study, but now he felt that if he waited a little longer, there might be more gains.

...

At the same time, the downstairs side hall of Werther's mansion.

Compared with the main hall where the "trauma" has just been repaired and many decorations have not had time to make up, this side hall has not changed much.

There are delicately woven carpets, soft and comfortable sofas, magical oil paintings on the walls, and house elves appearing and disappearing with large trays.

The riots outside because of the destruction of the exit,

It's as if it doesn't have the slightest impact here. After Maca left here, the mansion quickly returned to its usual state of life.

Of course, at least that's how Mario felt.

As for whether this is the relaxed atmosphere specially created by the Werther family, it is impossible for outsiders to tell.

Speaking of Marius, he actually felt a little uncomfortable at the moment. It may be that the previous afternoon's indulgence made him feel more disgusted with this hypocritical communication than usual.

And the two Werther family stewards sitting not far from him are probably the biggest source of boredom in his heart.

"Mr. Augustine, I heard that you usually like to watch Quidditch matches? I have to say that although it has less connotation than the 'Ten-pin Bowls①', it is more exciting. People at our level Wizard, there are indeed too few stimulations in life, and we need to use this kind of entertainment to better add vitality..."

Hearing that guy named Charlie go on and on, Mario's heart was numb. But no matter how disinterested he was, he still had to go along with it.

Otherwise, he would feel embarrassed if he was left alone.

"Oh, yes! Speaking of Quidditch, Charlotte also likes it very much. I heard she was at school—"

Manager Charlie was talking when he suddenly felt someone touch his calf, and he immediately reacted. Obviously, any topics related to Hogwarts are not suitable to be brought up at present, especially in front of Marius.

Although... For Marius himself, there is actually nothing to be taboo about.

"Ah! I suddenly remembered something..."

After a few seconds of pause, Manager Charlie abruptly changed the topic.

"Mr. Augustine, please be sure to taste the tea leaves that our family bought from several oriental wizards. Although you may not be used to the bitter taste at first, after you get used to it, you will be completely addicted to it like us! "

Marius managed to squeeze out a fairly natural smile, but he kept sighing in his heart.

But when she sat on the sofa and felt that the time was long, Miriam, who could only stand aside as a "follower", was observing the situation in the side hall calmly.

Unlike Mario, who is mainly responsible for stabilizing the scene, Miriam neither needs to speak nor move, but she has more things to do.

For example, in order to ensure that Asa, who will definitely come again in the future, can successfully complete the mission, she has to collect the information here with her eyes and brain.

Under the premise that people in the Werther family seem to be trying their best to conceal something, digging out more things from their words and deeds-this is obviously a very difficult task.

"It seems that when McLean knocked on the door, many people here should have seen it... Well, that male wizard seemed to be thinking about something... and that person's expression was not quite right..."

Because of the conflict between Maca and the Werther family, the witnesses were almost only members of the Werther family. Yasa was here at first, but he was scared away by Hai Erbo's eyes after a while.

Therefore, Miriam had to rely on observation and speculation for the time being, in order to get a feel for the remaining impact of that conflict on the Werther family.

But looking at it, even Miriam, who had undergone similar training, couldn't help shaking her head secretly. This kind of crap is really not done by humans.

But at this moment, a mix of light and heavy footsteps suddenly came from the corridor. As soon as she heard it, she knew that it should be the old Patriarch Werther who came down in person surrounded by his clansmen.

Not long after, when the old Patriarch slowly appeared in the side hall, Mario and the two stewards who were talking to him got up together, and greeted the old wizard with the highest seniority and status in the audience.

"Mr. Witt, on behalf of the family, Mario Augustine would like to extend his sincere greetings to you! Please forgive me for making trouble this time."

Old Werther didn't seem to care much about Mario's solemn salute.

"Oh, it's a child from the Augustine family..." He waved his hands lightly, his big white beard trembling slightly, "Come, sit down! You're welcome..."

Not far away, Miriam silently followed Mario and saluted, and then consciously retreated into the crowd next to her. Although she is not a member of the Werther family, after standing inside, she also looks very harmonious.

In addition, the old Patriarch didn't pay much attention to her, and in a blink of an eye, she completely blended into the surrounding "background".

Only Maca, who was following invisibly, immediately set her sights on this woman after discovering Miriam.

Not long after, Maca noticed that Miriam's eyes were always moving around very covertly, and that kind of probing eyes Maca was very familiar with.

He still remembered that when he was dawdling in the Muggle world, he had seen this kind of sight on many guys who were in charge of "spotting".

"Are you looking for something? Prepare for some future plans?"

Maca pondered for a while, and then immediately took this discovery to heart.

He was sure that something was bound to happen after this, and it was the kind he had better not miss!

Within a few minutes of his observation of Miriam, Mario and Werther's old master had already sat down at the dining table. In fact, it was already past dinner time at this time, but in order to entertain Mario, the Werther family still started to set up a banquet in this side hall.

The so-called ancient wizarding family, to put it bluntly, is nothing more than the nobles of the Muggle world in the past-although this cannot be generalized, in many cases, this can actually be equated.

Especially in ancient times, many wizards secretly collaborated with the Muggle Kingdom, and many of them were even awarded corresponding titles.

As far as the Werther family is concerned, it's actually pretty good.

"Child, you're welcome, let's eat something!" The old head of the family sat on the main seat and said with a smile, "Of course, maybe you want to say something first during the dinner, as a topic for our chat?"
