Chapter 118 Lucius’s Loss
"Transfer? Why?"
This incident was so sudden that Ma En was caught off guard.
Lucius did not answer him, but continued: "Marn, you can go too, you can go anywhere. Miley is not in the UK. I am the closest relative to you. No matter where it is, as long as you want to go, I will I can send you there."
As he said that, he glanced at Esther: "If you can't let go of your friends, I can let you go together. As long as you are willing to spend money, no school will refuse."
"Lucius...this...is very unlike you..."
His mood suddenly became a little excited: "I know, I know! You want to say that I have always discriminated against those Muggles. In fact, I still discriminate against them until now, but... now is no longer the time to worry about these things, Ma Well, get out of here! Go to Ilvermorny, go to Japan, stay away from this place, stay away from the whole of Europe..."
"Why, Lucius, you have to tell me why?" Marn asked seriously.
There was another long silence, and Lucius's rapid breathing calmed down. He said in a muffled voice: "Here, Hogwarts, the whole of Britain, and even the whole of Western Europe, will become a huge battlefield. Ma En, I know you are very strong, I have heard about it intermittently these days... But no matter how powerful the beast is, there will always be times when it takes a nap. You can protect yourself, but you cannot protect everyone."
"You mean...Voldemort? It doesn't matter Lucius, he has..."
Before Ma En finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lucius. This man who was always very good at protecting himself wisely and even a little cowardly said directly:
"Voldemort? Marn, if it was just Voldemort, I would have complete confidence in protecting you... If it weren't for that idiot Miley who was unwilling to tell where Dumbledore's men were until his death, and even went to Potter If you go live near home, you should be safe and sound that time."
"Uncle, you..." Ma En was a little overwhelmed by Lucius's sudden change. From his impression, it was impossible for Lucius to say such a thing, let alone call Voldemort by his name.
"Marn, I..." Lucius was about to say something when he suddenly pointed at Esther and said, "Let her go back first."
Ma En glanced at Esther, she nodded, and after saying some polite words, she walked towards the black tea house.
It wasn't until he watched Esther leave here completely that Lucius continued:
"I used to think that Voldemort was destiny, that he could change the world and regain the honor and status that the nobles had gradually discarded.
"Now, I know, I was wrong. Voldemort is just a fool with low-level means for personal gain. We, the so-called 'conquerors of death' (note), are even stupider fools than him. We actually thought that he would follow He creates one horrible incident after another and can change the world? How ridiculous.
"To this day, people who can truly change the world have appeared. Regardless of success or failure, they will have a profound impact on the world... And we nobles, who are proud of our lineage, status, and glory, have nothing in front of them. no…
"The real war that engulfs the entire wizarding world is coming, Marn. In the face of this war, everyone is a pawn --- of course, you are different, you will be a very important pawn. "
After saying a long series of words, Lucius suddenly lowered his head and sighed: "Who can hide? I asked you to stay away from Europe, just farther away from the center of the battlefield. In this case, the chance of survival may be It will be higher.”
When Marn heard this, he probably already knew what he was talking about, but he still comforted him: "Don't worry too much, Lucius, isn't Dumbledore still here? He is still alive and well, although he is a bit old. .”
The "Dumbledore comfort method" that had always been successful in similar situations in the past failed now. Lucius said a little confused: "What if Dumbledore didn't participate? Or... he was persuaded and became Part of the 'revolutionaries', so what to do?"
"..."
Marn didn't know how to comfort him. He couldn't tell him that he had already become a part of Walder's plan, right?When Old Walder said that he wanted to completely integrate into the Muggle world, Marne knew that a war was inevitable - the wizarding world had to be unified before he could attack the Muggle side.
But if he said that, Lu Xiu might have jumped up on the spot, and he didn't bring a quick-acting heart-saving pill with him. In the end, he could only comfort him symbolically: "Don't worry, it will get better... There are so many big figures in the magic world... "
Lucius shook his head: "Marn, how many real big shots are there in this world? Most of the so-called big shots are like me. When it's peaceful, they are a bit thin-faced wherever they go. When things get really chaotic, When their people found me and asked me to leave the school board, I didn’t even see the slightest chance of resistance or revenge.”
"Don't worry too much, maybe... this matter is still far, far away."
"It won't be too far away," the clouds in the sky slowly drifted away, revealing the half-moon inside. Lucius looked at the dim stars next to the moon and said, "They have penetrated into every corner of Europe. Maybe Tomorrow, maybe a month later, maybe a year later, these people will jump out and give those old-school wizards a head-on blow. This time will never be too far away, and at the latest it won’t be until you graduate and leave here. No one will After people have all the resources at their disposal, they are willing to hide.”
Ma En looked at the decadent platinum noble in front of him. His self-esteem was now extremely ridiculous.After a long time, he said: "Lucius, maybe things are not as bad as you think, and you don't have to be so decadent."
"...Do I look bad?" Lucius laughed at himself, "I just have to think about the worst case scenario. After all, no matter what the situation, the wealthy Malfoy family is always a bright spot. The target..."
"Have you... thought about where Draco should go?" Marn stopped discussing the issue and changed the subject.
He does know a lot, but if he continues to talk, he is afraid that he will spill the beans. In that case, it will not be good for anyone.For Walder, this would be exposed in advance. Who knows whether his preparations were as adequate as Lucius said. For Lucius, it would give him unnecessary expectations in case he fainted. Head, who knows what will happen.
