Chapter 816

"Master, master Augustine suddenly came and said that he wanted to discuss the specific countermeasures with our Witt family on the completion of the engagement..."

In the study above the Witt house, the old owner was listening carelessly.

He didn't know why Mario Augustine appeared at this time, and he didn't know how the other party came over. You know, the black market can't get in or out now, can it?

Well, is it difficult that the young master went shopping here before the black market was blocked?

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

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

The steward who heard the report said so. The old master waved his hand at will.

"No, the heir of the Augustine family, I still want to see you," he thought secretly. "How many people have come? Have you let them in?"

"Oh! Of course, I've asked them to rest in the side hall..."

The steward nodded again and again when he saw the old man's question.

"There were very few people who didn't come, including master Augustine - the other seemed to be the accompanying maid."

"Well," the old master nodded, "Jean ba -"

The old Victor just wanted to habitually ask Barnes and noble to receive him, but he soon realized the key. Immediately, he shook his head somewhat disappointed.

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

When the steward nodded and hurried away, the old owner looked at the closed door again and sighed gently.

"What did the Augustine family send him here to do?"

Of course, the old Victor just thought that Mallory came here according to the decision of his family. HMM... maybe the Augustine family knew about the emergence of Haier Bo from some channels?

"Hum, if only one person came, it might be more likely that he came to take refuge... Wandering around the black market and found that he couldn't get out, so come to us to find out the situation? Well, maybe he still needs a night."

Obviously, the old master subconsciously ignored Milian who was walking with Mallory.

While the master of Witt's family was thinking and sometimes talking to himself, Maka, 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 flashed in.

At this time, Maka, who also heard the report just now, thought in the opposite direction to the old owner.

"'mario Augustine '... Will the other one follow Miriam?" he stood still and thought silently, "Charlotte's engagement has been mentioned again. It should start from the Augustine family... Plus the important person who came to Hogwarts before, Miriam is in the crowd behind him."

Thinking of this, Maka couldn't help but curl her mouth.

"Watch it later! If millian is really the 'culprit' who encourages the Augustine family to make trouble, it will be interesting..."

Seeing that Victor's old master had stood up, Maka made way at will and allowed the other party to change clothes in the study.

In fact, at the beginning, he wanted to show up and "chat" with the old owner after he came into the study, but now he felt that he might get more gains later.

……

At the same time, the side hall of Witt house downstairs.

Compared with the main hall, which has just been repaired and many decorations have not been repaired in time, this side hall has not changed much.

Woven carpets with fine colors, soft and comfortable sofas, magic oil paintings on the wall, and domestic elves looming and appearing with large trays.

The riots caused by the destruction of exports outside seem to have no impact here. After Maka left here, the house soon returned to its normal state of life.

Of course, at least that's what Mallory feels.

As for whether this is the relaxed atmosphere deliberately created by the Witt family, outsiders can't tell.

Speaking of Mallory, he actually felt a little uncomfortable at the moment. Perhaps the indulgence of the previous afternoon made him more disgusted than usual with this hypocritical communication at the moment.

The two Witt family managers sitting not far from him were afraid to be the biggest source of boredom in his heart.

"Mr. Augustine, I heard that you usually like to watch Quidditch games? I have to say that it has less connotation than the" ten pole rolling ball play ① ", but it is more exciting. Wizards at our level do have too little stimulation in life, and we need this kind of entertainment to better add vitality..."

Listening to the guy named Charlie talking all the time, Marlowe's heart was numb. But no matter how uninterested he was, he had to go and echo it.

Otherwise, in case of cold, he would feel embarrassed himself.

"Oh, by the way! Charlotte likes Quidditch very much. I heard she was at school -"

Charlie was talking when he suddenly felt that his calf was touched, and he immediately reacted. Obviously, the current topics related to Hogwarts are not suitable to mention, especially in front of Mallory.

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

"Ah! Suddenly I remembered something..."

After a few seconds' pause, Charlie steward abruptly cut off the topic.

"Mr. Augustine, please be sure to taste the tea bought by our family from several oriental wizards. Although you may not be used to the bitter taste at first, you will be as addicted to it as we are!"

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

When sitting on the sofa, Miriam, as an "entourage", could only stand aside, was calmly observing the situation in the side hall.

Slightly different from the horse who is mainly responsible for stabilizing the scene, millian doesn't have to speak or walk, but she has more to do.

For example, in order to ensure that ASA, who is bound to come later, can successfully complete the task, she has to collect the information here with her eyes and brain.

Under the premise that the Witt family seems to be trying to hide something, they dig out more things from their words and deeds - which is obviously a very difficult task.

"It seems that when McLean called the door, many people should have seen it here... Well, the male wizard seemed to be thinking about something... And the man's face was not quite right..."

When Maka clashed with the Witt family, the witnesses were almost only the Witt family. At first ASA was here, but soon he was scared away by helbo's eyes.

Therefore, Milian had to rely on observation to speculate for the time being, so as to explore the residual impact of the conflict on the Witt family.

But looking at it, even millian, who had received similar training, couldn't help shaking her head secretly. This kind of shit is really not done by people.

But just then, a mixture of light and heavy footsteps suddenly came from the other side of the corridor. As soon as she heard it, she knew that it should be the old victor who came down in person surrounded by his people.

Before long, when the old master slowly appeared in the side hall, Mallory and the two managers who talked with him also got up and welcomed the old wizard with the highest seniority and status in the audience.

"Mr. Witt, on behalf of the family, Mario Augustine sends sincere greetings to you! Please forgive me for my intrusion this time."

Old Victor didn't seem to care so much about Marlowe's solemn salute.

"Oh, it's Augustine's child..." he gently waved his hand, and his white beard trembled slightly. "Come, sit down! You're welcome..."

Not far away, Miriam silently saluted behind Marlowe, and then consciously retracted into the crowd next to her. Although she is not a member of the Witt family, she also appears very harmonious after standing inside.

In addition, the old owner didn't pay attention to her. In a twinkling of an eye, she completely integrated into the surrounding "background".

Only the invisible Marca, who followed one side, immediately stared at the woman after she found millian.

Not long after, Marca found that Miriam's eyes were always moving around covertly, and Marca was very familiar with that exploratory look.

He still remembers that in the past, when he was fooling around in the Muggle world, he saw this sight on many guys responsible for "stepping on the spot".

"What are you looking for? Preparing for some future plans?"

Maka pondered a little, and then immediately put the discovery in her heart.

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

Within a few minutes of his observation of Miriam, Mallory had gone to the table with the old victor and sat down. In fact, it was already past dinner time, but in order to entertain Mallory, the Witt family began to set up a table in this side hall.

The so-called ancient wizard family, to put it bluntly, is just the aristocrats in the Muggle world in the past - although this can not be generalized, in many cases, it can actually draw an equal sign.

Especially in ancient times, many wizards secretly colluded with the Muggle Kingdom, and even many were given corresponding titles.

The Witt family is actually good.

"You're welcome, son. Have something to eat!" the old man sat on the chair and smiled. "Of course, maybe you want to say something first as the topic of our chat?"
