Chapter 109

To tell you the truth, it's really a fine day today.

In a cold winter, there will be sunny days occasionally.

Macmillan's restaurant has large windows with excellent light transmittance in the front and back. The light shines through the branches around the residence, illuminating the whole indoor space.

At this time, in the middle of the restaurant is a long big table, which is flat covered with a beautiful red and white grid tablecloth, on which all kinds of exquisite plates are arranged.

Those are big plates for food, which are still empty for the time being, but it can be imagined that after they are filled with food, there will be another wonderful scene.

Near the four walls, there are small dining round tables for guests to eat. After that, they can sit down with suitable objects and enjoy delicious food.

By now, there are many people in the restaurant. Most of them stood by the long table in twos and threes, talking softly, as if they had endless words.

"... I heard that there are two special guests coming this evening. Do you know who they are?"

As soon as Maka entered the restaurant, she heard two male wizards standing by the door whispering.

"I just know, it seems... McMillan is going to surprise us." another older wizard shook his head and said meaningfully.

"Isn't it a surprise..." not far away, a noble witch suddenly turned around and said mysteriously, "it is said that one of those families is coming this time!"

"Oh - true or false?" the two wizards said in surprise.

"Who knows whether it's true or false? It's good to have some news - McMillan's house is deep enough this time!" the witch waved her hand gracefully.

"But... Those families have disappeared for many years, and some people begin to guess whether they have..."

"The details are there! It's not that easy!"

Maka just paused and heard so much news. Although he didn't get anything exact from it, the information contained in it alone was enough for him to figure out a lot of things.

After a few more steps, he found that it was no coincidence that he could hear those conversations. Probably because the news just came out, many people are secretly talking about it at the moment!

Just then Ernie's father came in through the side door. Beside him was a charming woman, who should be Ernie's mother.

"You've been waiting for a long time. You must be looking forward to the evening party, but there's no need to worry," said Ernie's father lang. "at least, we have to fill our stomachs first?"

Just then he waved his wand.

Suddenly, the big plate on the middle long table was immediately filled with all kinds of food piled into small piles; The wine in oak barrels seemed to be free of money, and they were lined up on the wine rack next to the wall one by one.

On the small dining tables around, there are a large number of high foot wine glasses out of thin air, which have been poured with pure gold champagne, emitting a very attractive fruit aroma.

"Have a good drink first!" Ernie's father raised his glass and shouted, "Merry Christmas!"

Maka took a glass of apple juice from the long table and raised her glass symbolically.

"Don't you drink?" Ernie said curiously.

"At least not today," Marca said, shaking her head.

When everyone began to walk around and pick up food at the long table, the Christmas party was officially started.

But no one expected that several guests were late at the moment.

The door of the restaurant was pushed open, and several men in black wizard robes came in.

"... Avery."

The guests whispered, and the other party seemed to have some bad intentions.

"Merry Christmas, McMillan," the man at the front smiled.

It was a middle-aged man with carefully combed black hair. The wizard robe on his body looked good workmanship and texture. It can be seen from his behavior that some kind of superior psychology has gone deep into his bones.

"I don't remember inviting you," Ernie's father frowned.

"As one of the twenty-eight nationalities, why do you act like an outsider?" the other party brushed the non-existent dust on his shoulder and said casually.

"I didn't see you say that in front of the Weasleys," Ernie's father glanced at him and sneered.

The other party obviously choked on this, and his calm smile froze.

It seems that even if he always looks approachable in ordinary days, he is still a member of the pure blood family after all. When it comes to momentum, it doesn't empty each other at all.

Ernie's father knew that the interests of the pure blood family were intertwined. Seeing that he had won a little at the moment, he immediately stopped at a good time.

"Now that you're here, sit down, Avery."

With a cold hum, the other Party chose a seat by the door and sat down.

Several people who followed him stood behind him, and only a gloomy little wizard sat with him.

"LEV, stop sitting... Go and say hello to the others!"

The little wizard nodded slightly and stood up again. He looked around and went straight to Ernie. He was obviously ready.

"Are you Ernie McMillan?" Lev squinted at Ernie and said coldly.

"Yes, what's the matter?" Ernie habitually glanced at his father, but found that his father just winked at him.

Hey, Dad! What do you mean? Any sand in your eyes?

"How's life at Hogwarts? Did you have a good time?"

"Do you think that's a Muggle playground?" Ernie said angrily.

Lev looked at him contemptuously and said softly, "Muggle? Playground? Are you mcmillans ready?"

"What preparation?" Ernie said angrily.

"Become another traitor of the twenty-eight families," Lev said with a strange smile, "just like the Weasleys."

Ernie was so angry that he could hardly speak. After a while, he replied, "we are different from you! Self righteous guys!"

"Is this Hogwarts' education?" Lev glanced.

He glanced at Ernie casually, looked at Hannah, Leila and Marca, and then he focused on Marca.

"I think your friend may know better than you how to be a noble," Lev said casually, looking at Maka's flat pressed dress.

In fact, he was just looking for an excuse to continue to belittle Ernie. He had no interest in Maka himself. But he didn't expect that this sentence seemed to hit Ernie's heart.

"Hum! Who do you think you are comparing with me?" Ernie raised his chin and showed a trace of pride on his face. "He is not only an elite student in our school, but also my roommate and my good friend!"

"Oh?" Lev looked more at Maka. "Elite? What kind of elite?"

"All aspects, of course!"

In Ernie's mind, Marca is almost omnipotent - he is always proud that he lives in the same bedroom with Marca.

But LEV, as if he had heard a joke, raised a corner of his mouth and chuckled.

"Everything?" Lev snorted and smiled. "I didn't expect Hogwarts to teach you how to tell jokes... Ha ha..."

He suddenly turned his head and looked at Leila, who looked curiously at his conversation with Ernie.

"Can you tell jokes, too?"

On one side, Maka immediately raised her eyebrows.

Lev and Ernie, who appeared here inexplicably, were talking nonsense. He didn't intend to interrupt, but once Leila shafik was involved, he could make good use of this opportunity.

Just as he was talking and laughing with the three of them in the backyard, he learned the identity of the little girl from Ernie - a member of the shafiq family.

The shafiq family, in fact, is not remarkable, because the family has implemented the concept of "low-key management" from beginning to end. They are involved in some basic industries in the magic world.

One of the most prominent and important industries of the shafiq family is the production and supply of various magic raw materials.

When it comes to power, this family can only be regarded as medium; But when it comes to wealth, the hidden profits are really hard to calculate.

This is a gold thigh buried in the earth!

"... I can't tell jokes, but my mother always says to me, 'you're a big joke!'" Leila replied with a smile.

"Ha ha ha --" Lev was almost teased by the little girl. He grinned and smiled, "that's good. It seems that Hogwarts --"

"Oh, but I didn't study at Hogwarts..." Leila suddenly added.

Lev looked at her in surprise and said, "where do you go to school?"

"At home!" Leila blinked. "My mother teaches me every day."

Lev shook his head and said, "it's a pity that Hogwarts lacks an 'excellent' student! Maybe if you go to Hogwarts, Hogwarts can have another 'all-round' elite."

"Hey, mcclegan, he's praising me for being excellent!" Leila turned her head and said happily.

Maka looked at Leila, then at LEV, and then sighed.

"Mr. Avery, I think --" Marca looked calmly at lev. "Demstrom won't teach you how to bully a little girl?"

Leila blinked her big eyes, turned back and whispered to Ernie, "was that boy bullying me just now?"

"He's calling you stupid!" Ernie patted her on the head and said angrily.

"Did I bully her?" said lev. "What word bullied her?"

"Don't use this childish word trick to pretend, it will only make you insult your own family name." Maka squeezed out a smile at him.

He remembered that Leila said that this kind of smile would make people look gloomy - not to mention that the current state might work well when talking to the enemy!
