Link sighed for a while at the superb strategy of Maxim and others, then looked at Fleur again and said:
"This means that we have to go to Beauxbatons. So, Fleur, is there any way you can get us there?"
As soon as she said this, Furong raised her head suddenly, looked at Link in disbelief, and then muttered:
"Yes, yes. According to Beauxbatons' current regulations, current students recommend other people to join the school, and eventually new students can get extra credits when they enroll. Although Gabrielle's relationship with our family is not very harmonious now, But for the sake of blood ties and academic credits, we are still allowed to visit Beauxbatons as family members.”
"Ah, there is also a new recruitment mechanism."
Link sighed as he shook his head.
"What did you say?"
"It's nothing, just think that I'm talking nonsense." Link waved his hand, turned to look at Dumbledore and said, "Then, Professor Dumbledore, let's go on a trip!"
Dumbledore was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Link, and then at Fleur, who looked pitifully expectant, and sighed:
"Link, are you sure you want to do this? After what happened today, there is a high probability that the Shadow Man has discovered us. If we go to Beauxbatons again at this time..."
Dumbledore did not continue, but shook his head.
This made Fleur's eyes gradually dim again.
"Don't say that, Professor Dumbledore." Link said with a serious face, "We will eventually face those enemies. You told me before, after this time, we will It would be very difficult to sneak into France so easily. So in other words, this time is our best chance. So, why don't we give it a try?
After all, it is our responsibility to destroy the Dark Shadow and Voldemort and maintain the peace of the wizarding world! "
Dumbledore looked at Link with a complicated expression, and after a while he murmured and repeated:
"Yes, this is my responsibility."
"Then you agree!" Link smiled and snapped his fingers, turned to Fleur and said, "Make arrangements for us immediately, we are going to Beauxbatons!"
"Ah, this, this..."
Fleur waved her arms in confusion, "This may take some time. I still need to send a letter to Gabrielle, and Gabrielle also needs to apply for a visit with Beauxbatons."
"It doesn't matter, just do it as soon as possible." Link smiled and said, "But I must make it clear to you in advance. You just heard that our whereabouts have been noticed by the Black Shadow People. If you delay too much, For a long time, if the shadow people complete their preparations, we will abandon you and leave France directly."
"Of course! I'm very grateful if you agree to help. Why would you have other ideas? Thank you so much!"
Fleur bowed excitedly to Link and Dumbledore, and then hurriedly found the study under the guidance of Old Kled to write a letter.
Watching her back disappear quickly, Link no longer hesitated, saluted Dumbledore and then took Emily back to his room.
Dumbledore was left alone in the empty hall, wondering what he was thinking.
At this time, the sun had fallen to the horizon as Link and others had been discussing for a long time.
The bright orange-red sunlight shined on Dumbledore through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the hall.
His whole body was also dyed orange-red.
It was as if someone poured a basin of fresh blood on Dumbledore's robe.
……
In the superior suite of Nico Flamel's estate.
Link drank a large glass of beer and let out a long sigh of relief.
Nearly an afternoon of intense thinking and discussion had already made his mouth dry.
At this time, a large glass of beer is naturally the best choice.
After all, although the actual thirst-quenching ability of this thing is worrying, it tastes great!
Putting down the empty cup, Link discovered that Emily was sitting silently on the sofa nearby, looking glum.
"Who provoked you?" Link sat down next to Emily, "It can't be me, right? I think my performance today is very good, especially when it comes to dealing with Fleur. .”
Emily glanced at Link, took out a handkerchief to wipe away the remaining wine foam from the corners of Link's mouth, sighed and said:
"Yes, you performed very well. You made everything clear to Furong. You also clearly established our bottom line. You basically didn't give me any chance to be jealous."
Link became more and more puzzled upon hearing this.
Now that Emily has understood his attitude towards Fleur, why should she feel uncomfortable?
Emily should be happy at this time.
"I just think," Emily sighed, "I just think you, Fleur, are a little too ruthless."
"what!"
Link suddenly smiled and said, "You will be jealous of my closeness to Fleur. But now that I have made my position clear with him and drawn a clear boundary, you feel uncomfortable again. What's the point of this?"
"Because Fleur is so pathetic."
"This is an obvious thing. She has gone so far as to work as a receptionist at Zangwill Wand Shop. Can she not be pitiful?"
"A lot of other things happened during this, that's why I said she was pitiful." Emily suddenly stood up and said with a somewhat excited voice, "Otherwise, do you think that with her achievements, appearance, and the fact that she has participated in the Triwizard Tournament? Do you need to be a receptionist with your resume? I’m afraid it would be easy to enter the French Ministry of Magic and start an official career directly!”
Link nodded, helped Emily sit down again and poured her a cup of tea.
He seemed to understand.
Emily must have heard Fleur talk about her own experience and felt empathy.
After all, they are all women.
At the moment, Link feels like he can just listen to Emily whine.
"You really don't know, Fleur actually did some work to make amends for Gabrielle and Beauxbatons." Emily said with emotion, "Ms. Maxim was not so crazy at that time, Fleur was Relying on his close relationship with Maxim, he went up to persuade Ms. Maxim not to carry out such a radical plan, but the result..."
"It must not have turned out well."
Link took over and said.
This is inevitable.
Maxim, who was in that situation at that time, had actually turned into a gambling dog. Under the influence of the gambler's mentality, even a hundred thousand horses could not pull her back.
"The result is not not good, but very bad." Emily sighed and continued, "Fleur and Ms. Maxim completely broke up. Even Maxim, on the advice of others, detained Seremban’s NWET certificate.
This is a very shameless means of revenge.
Without the NWET certificate, Fleur would not be able to find even an ordinary job, let alone a bright future by working for the French Ministry of Magic after graduation.
It's equivalent to ruined.
To make matters worse, in order to allow Beauxbatons to recruit more highly talented pure-blood students, Maxim actually collaborated with people from the French Ministry of Magic and began to advocate the theory of pure-blood supremacy.
This is outrageous!
Maxim himself is a hybrid of giants!
But what's even more outrageous is that they succeeded.
At present, the French magic world has become more advocating pure blood than the country of Yu!
This caused Beauxbatons and even the French Ministry of Magic to receive a large amount of investment from foreign pure-blood families.
Even many businesses on Lion Heart Street have benefited from this.
But the recipients of these benefits are limited to purebloods.
Half-bloods, pure Muggles, and even magical animal hybrids like Fleur have become unwelcome in this originally free land. "
Emily stopped talking and didn't continue talking. She just sat there and sighed.
In fact, there is really no need to say the rest.
Link and Emily both knew what would happen if a country fully began to advocate pure blood supremacy.
The most extreme situation is nothing more than what the magic world in the country was like back then.
Thugs were rampant, Muggles and Muggle-born wizards were massacred wantonly, and pure-blood wizards were enslaved by pure-blood wizards and became second-class citizens.
As for Fleur, a magical animal hybrid.
That's not even a human being.
Rather, they are beautiful pets that can be sold at will.
Although the French magic world has not yet reached that point, judging from Link's observation on Lion Heart Street today, it is about to get there.
Otherwise, the people at the Zangwill Wand Shop wouldn't have the guts to directly force Fleur to be a physical host.
This was blood discrimination in the original French magical world and a very serious political mistake!
Imagining that Fleur's situation would definitely get worse next, Emily felt uncomfortable in her heart.
How dazzling was Fleur during the Triwizard Tournament?
GuLet alone ordinary women, even Emily felt a little ashamed in front of Fleur.
This is why Emily was so hostile to Fleur before.
Subconsciously, Emily placed Fleur on the same level as herself.
But now, Furong has turned into such a pitiful appearance.
This made Furong feel extremely complicated.
At the same time, Link looked at Emily with a smile. It was not until Emily gradually broke away from her complicated emotions that she said calmly:
"Actually, you don't have to feel so sad for Fleur. Compared to the other Muggles and Squibs who were killed and enslaved in this world, Fleur is actually a very lucky individual. At least, she met us, And we are willing to give her the right amount of help so that she can start her life again, aren't we?"
"You know, Fleur is completely different from the Muggles and Squibs you're talking about in terms of how miserable I feel."
"Ah, of course I know. I didn't say that Furong is not miserable. I'm just reminding you that proper empathy is conducive to the release of emotions and is good for the body and mind. But remember not to indulge in it and do anything impulsive. "
"for example?"
"For example, in order to help Furong, give up our lives or other benefits. This is what my mother taught me since I was a child. You can do things that benefit the world by plucking a dime. But if you exchange a dime for Your own life is not worth it. There is a standard here that must be grasped. Just like when you meet a drowning person. If your water quality is extraordinary, it is not a bad idea to go into the water to rescue if you have the ability. But Since you are a landlubber, it is best to stand on the shore and call for help, or hand over a long stick."
"Then why did you agree to Fleur going to Beauxbatons? Isn't this also a dangerous thing?"
"This is to eliminate the Shadow Man organization and save the magical world." Link blinked and said, "Of course, there are also some selfish motives of mine in this. Eliminating the Shadow Man is of great significance to me!"
Emily was silent.
She lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
Link snapped his fingers and said:
"Come out, Kled, do you need anything from me?"
As soon as Link finished speaking, Old Kled's figure appeared out of thin air at the door of the suite.
He has a smile on his face.
The look he looked at Link was filled with relief and approval.
He actually heard what Link just said. This was the result of Link's acquiescence and Link's trust in him.
And what he said just now is enough to prove that Link has grown into a qualified and excellent clan leader.
After raising such an outstanding child, even if he died immediately, he could still stand upright, pat his chest and tell the ghost of old Forley that he had lived up to his instructions.
Gently wiping away the water vapor that overflowed from the corners of his eyes, Old Kelie smiled and said:
"Master, Miss Delacour's letter to Beauxbatons has been written. Do you want to read it?"
As he spoke, Old Kled came to Link with a letter in his hands.
Link glanced at the lacquered seal with the Beauxbatons emblem on the letter, and said with a slightly raised corner of his mouth:
"Just check it and make sure there's nothing unusual. I'm not interested in letters from little girls."
After hearing this, Old Klei glanced at Emily beside him, understood immediately, nodded, and was about to exit with a smile.
But at this moment, I heard Link say again:
"Also, help keep an eye on Fleur and don't let her do anything impulsive. Her mood is not very stable."
This is about surveillance!
Emily raised her head slightly and looked at the figures of Link and Old Kled, with a trace of melancholy rising on her face.
The situation was becoming more and more weird, and she couldn't understand it anymore.
Especially the group they currently form.
On the surface, everyone is in harmony.
But the reality is that everyone is secretly vigilant and has their own hidden agendas.
Among them, Fleur wanted to save her sister, and Dumbledore and Link nominally wanted to destroy the Shadow Man organization and save the magical world, but secretly they also had their own purposes.
Can such a combination really reach the end smoothly?
Emily doubted this.
……
half a month later.
Inside Nico Flamel's estate.
Link and Emily each put on a formal suit and walked out of the villa hand in hand.
Old Kelie had already parked his carriage in the open space in front of the villa.
Dumbledore and Fleur were also ready.
Seeing Link and Emily coming out, Fleur's face turned slightly red, but she still took the initiative and said:
"I'm sorry, Link, I really didn't expect it would be so difficult to apply for a spot, and I wasted so much of your time."
Yes, it has indeed been quite a long time, it has been half a month.
Link didn't expect it either.
It was just a matter of applying for a place to visit the school, but it took so long for Fleur to do so despite the fact that Gabri was the insider who used the back door.
If it weren't for the Legilimency spell that showed that Fleur was even more anxious than they were, and the investigation results of Dumbledore's outing also showed that the Black Shadows did not take any special measures, and the entire French wizarding world was as usual, he would even have to They suspected that Furong was a spy sent by the Shadow Man to deliberately delay their time.
Link complained in his heart, but said with a smile on his face:
"It's not a big deal. Anyway, even if we don't wait for you, we still have to stay at the French Ministry of Magic to collect information. So please don't blame yourself. This is not your fault, are you right? Professor Dumbledore."
Dumbledore rolled his eyes at Link who pushed him out as a shield user, and then said with a smile:
"Indeed, this period of time cannot be said to be wasted. We have collected a lot of information about all levels of the French magic world and gained a lot. And..."
Dumbledore took a deep breath and said, "I really can't blame you for the slow admission of school visiting places. Your sister Gabrielle has really tried her best!"
"why would you say so?"
Fleur asked hurriedly.
What Dumbledore just said hit her right there.
What she cared about the most was Gabrielle's attitude, and she was worried that Gabrielle was deliberately slowing down the application process because she resented her.
"Because according to the intelligence I investigated, Beauxbatons is indeed on the rise."
Dumbledore's expression became extremely melancholy, "At least throughout Europe, its reputation under Maxim's management has surpassed Durmstrang, and can almost be said to be on par with Hogwarts.
Moreover, they also announced the NWET scores of Beauxbatons graduates in advance this time, and the results were unexpectedly good, making Beauxbatons a hot spot for enrollment in Europe this summer.
As a result, it has become hard to get a ticket to visit Beauxbatons this summer.
After all, it can be said that parents all over Europe want to see what a magical school it is that can produce so many outstanding students. "
"This is really good!"
Fleur almost shouted with joy.
But as soon as she said this, she immediately noticed something was wrong.
He said to Dumbledore with a guilty look on his face:
"Professor Dumbledore, you know, I am not happy that Beauxbatons has surpassed Hogwarts. I heard that Gabrielle did not deliberately delay the application process because she resented me, so I couldn't hold it back. .”
Hearing this, Dumbledore's face was so bitter that he could almost wring out the bitterness.
But he still could only say dryly:
"It's okay, I understand how you feel.
Moreover, I only said that the reputation of Beauxbatons is almost catching up with Hogwarts, but I did not say that it has surpassed Hogwarts.
In fact, Beauxbatons still has at least ten years to go before it can surpass Hogwarts. "
"Pfft-"
Seeing Dumbledore's tough tone, Link couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.
Hearing that Dumbledore was full of dissatisfaction, he looked towards Link as if looking at a traitor.
Link coughed twice quickly, and finally suppressed his smile before waving his hand and saying:
"Okay, don't talk so much, let's set off quickly."
