Chapter 648 Armand Malfoy
In the early morning on William's flagship, William was sitting on the boat with a dark blue blanket edged with brown fur, sleeping soundly, but with a frown on his face, he didn't seem to be sleeping very comfortably.
"Your Majesty." One of his men woke him up cautiously. The reason why he was so cautious was not only because he was facing a ruthless king, but also because their helmsman may have made a big mistake. The poor helmsman is still confused and doesn't understand why he, who is so dedicated, is facing such a situation - in fact, no one can explain what happened.
William lifted off the blanket covering his head. He stood up and looked around for a while, with a look of confusion and panic on his face. He opened his mouth in surprise. You know, he has been trapped in his own territory for two months, and now he has finally gone out to sea, but he never dreamed that he would encounter such a situation - only his body was left on the vast sea. This is a lonely ship.
He stood up and looked around, looking for his fleet: "Where are they?"
"Your Majesty, in the early morning, a thick fog suddenly arose. As you know, this is very common near England. Although there is no way to see the surrounding scene clearly, we can still see the shadow of our fleet and their voices. We were originally We thought that after the fog cleared, we could get in touch with the other fleets and regroup. After all, we didn’t dare to set sail casually in the thick fog. Unexpectedly, when the fog cleared, the fleet that should have been around just now turned out to be They were all gone, and only our ship was left. Your Majesty..." Before the guard could say anything else, William raised his hand to stop him.
"You, go and take a look at the mast." William ordered calmly. In fact, he knew in his heart that even if he did this, it would be difficult to find traces of the fleet. After all, everything he could see was blue water, and there was no trace of any ships at all. Apparently, his flagship drifted away from the fleet and was left alone in the strait.
The guard came back from the mast with a frustrated look on his face. William could tell without asking that he found nothing. But the scheming man pretended to be unmoved and enjoyed the breakfast accompanied by fine wine, but in his heart he was worried and didn't know how to eat. He invested a lot of time and money during this year to assemble his expedition fleet, but now the fleet is nowhere to be seen. Faced with delayed military planes and dangerous storms, William took huge risks and faced the unpredictable autumn. Sailing in wind and low visibility, he could accept even the loss of part of the ship, but now, except for the one he was on, all the other ships had disappeared without a trace!
Pushing the empty plate in front of him forward, William stood up after breakfast and walked to the railing beside the ship. He held his hands on the railing and looked towards the sea. His heart was full of worry and anxiety.
"You don't have to be in such a hurry." A voice suddenly appeared from behind him. William turned around and looked behind him. He saw a strangely dressed young man walking out of the shadow of the ship, holding a hand in his hand. A staff with the skull of a beast that has never been seen before.
William's heart suddenly reached its peak. The man in front of him was definitely not a kind person. If he could suddenly appear on his ship, he must be a wizard.
He immediately called to his surrounding men and shouted: "Catch him!" At the same time, his hand was vigilantly holding the handle of the sword at his waist.
However, the men around him seemed unable to hear his cry and could not see their situation. It was as if nothing strange had happened on the ship and they were still doing their own work. William was shocked and thought to himself. When something bad happened, he immediately pinched his cross and shouted: "Come here quickly!"
"You don't have to be so panicked. I have no ill intentions towards you." Allen comforted with a smile, but his smile seemed to pierce the other person's nerves. The vigilant William rubbed his hand against the ground as Allen approached. The knight's sword was pulled out from his waist and pointed at Allen.
William forced himself to calm down and defeat the evil wizard in front of him. After all, he was also a knight who had been practicing martial arts for many years...
Suddenly, the hilt of the sword was still in William's hand, but the blade turned into a long, huge python with iron snake scales. It turned around and quickly wrapped around William, tying him tightly. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get out of the chair.
William, who had never seen such a strange situation, kept praying to the gods he believed in. At the same time, he once again tried to loudly order his men, trying to wake them up: "Hurry up and catch him, catch him for me." But no matter how William ordered and threatened, the men around him remained motionless.
At this moment, as the phantom shapeshifted and caused black smoke, a middle-aged wizard with light blond hair appeared out of thin air. After teleporting over, he understood the scene in front of him as soon as he saw it, "Bold boy! You don't Do you know that Sir William is supported by our Malfoy family? I, Armand, want you to pay the price for your arrogance!"
As he spoke, Armand Malfoy raised his staff towards Allen, but then his staff automatically took off his hands and floated in the air. It automatically started burning from the tip of the wand in front of him, and finally turned into ashes—— This made Malfoy, who wanted to show off his skills in front of the Muggle Duke and deliberately said some words, and then taught the ignorant boy in front of him, become as timid as his descendants. His expression was just like Draco's. The senior was equally horrified when he saw Voldemort's figure. He screamed and ran back, and then realized that he was now on the boat, and he was not yet able to apparate without a wand, so after thinking about all this, This Malfoy directly let himself kneel on the ground to express his surrender...
Allen looked at the Malfoy ancestor in front of him with great interest. The reason why William did not summon a wizard to appear during the previous storm incident was probably because William thought it was just a natural disaster and did not want to expose his pious nature to the world. Believers actually have the fact to breed wizards - although William actually asked his wizards privately for advice when he was trapped in the north wind of the English Channel, it is obvious that wizards who can control the weather on a large scale like Allen are not at least not William can afford it.
Information about the Malfoy family flashed through Alan's mind - the surname Malfoy originated from the old French, meaning "not keeping one's word". Like the ancestors of many British pure-blood families, the wizard Armand Malfoy arrived in Britain as part of the Norman army that invaded England, following William, Duke of Normandy.
The Malfoy family has been using magic to handle some unknown gray matters for William, and thus obtained the golden land in Wiltshire - which was plundered from the original Anglo-Saxons after their victory.
Descendants of the Malfoy family thrived there for ten centuries.
The cunning ancestor Armand in front of him embodies many characteristics of the Malfoy family. As their unflattering surname suggests, the Malfoy family has a cunning reputation and never forgets to extract power and wealth wherever they go. Although they support pure-blood theory and firmly believe that wizards are superior to Muggles, they will please Muggles as long as their interests drive them. In doing so they became one of the richest wizarding families in Britain, and for many years in Alan's time there had been rumors of the Malfoy family's successful involvement in Muggle currency and assets.
In the days that followed, they expanded themselves by annexing nearby Muggle lands and amassed a growing collection of Muggle treasures and art by currying favor with Muggle royalty. The Malfoy family has a clear line between poor Muggles and powerful people. Until the implementation of the International Statute of Secrecy in 1692, the Malfoy family was active in Muggle upper class society. It is said that their strong opposition to the Statute of Secrecy was partly due to the fact that they had to leave this pleasant social life. Although Malfoy's descendants firmly deny it, there is ample evidence to prove that the first Malfoy named Lucius once pursued Elizabeth I but was frustrated; some historians assert that the reason why the queen later refused to marry was because The Curse of Malfoy. UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.net For nearly ten centuries, the Malfoy family has adhered to a code of conduct that protects oneself wisely. As soon as the International Statute of Secrecy was implemented, the Malfoy family stopped interacting with aristocratic Muggles; they knew that continued opposition and protest would only keep them away from the new core of power - the newly emerged Ministry of Magic. Their attitude changed 180 degrees, and they expressed their support like those who had supported the secrecy law from the beginning, and quickly distanced themselves from any dealings with Muggles or even previous marriage relationships.
William watched in silence as the most powerful of the wizards he had secretly cultivated was unable to fight back in front of the young wizard. Although he didn't know why the other boy was stunned and made no further moves, he finally managed to I understood that I was really in trouble this time.
"Now, can you listen to me quietly? I suggest you don't move." Following Allen's teasing, the python head turned into a sword opened its big mouth and came close to William's face.
"If you don't want to die in this sea like the soldiers before you..." Allen tilted his head, "Yes, the storm you encountered before was created and controlled by me."
