During the period when Schelling was boarding at the Green Manor, many things happened in other corners of Great Britain.

　　 Let's talk about the situation at Malfoy Manor first.

On the day Schelling went to Diagon Alley (August 11th), Lucius stopped Draco who wanted to go out to practice Quidditch at the entrance of the hall, "Draco, come with me. Dad has important things to tell you."

　　 The two father and son left the hall silently, walked through a long corridor, and walked into the study room where Lucius used to work.

　　 Lucius took out a sterling silver Malfoy family crest from the hidden compartment of the drawer, and said, "Drip a drop of your blood on it."

　　 Draco saw his father's serious face, so he didn't dare to ask any questions, so he could only follow suit. He used a magic wand to make a small hole in his left index finger and squeezed out a drop of blood. After dropping the blood on the family crest, the family crest exuded looming magical fluctuations, as if activated.

"This family crest is a special door key. It can only be activated by dripping the blood of the Malfoy family lineage. Now I count one, two and three. Let's touch this family crest together, one, two, three!" Two The father and son's hands touched the family crest at the same time, and they were rotated and sucked in by a powerful suction force.

　　 They came to a small dim room with a round bead embedded in the top of the room, emitting a faint green glow.

　　 Lucius stood upright on the ground, but his hair was blown and disheveled and messed up. Draco was unsteady and sat slumped on the ground.

　　Draco couldn't help asking: "Father, why don't we use the anti-stun bracelet invented by Schelling?"

　　 Lucius: "..."

　　Draco didn't know, what Lucius was thinking at the moment was-Damn, can I tell you if I forgot?

　　 Looking around, there are gray-colored stone walls on all sides. The walls are covered with portraits. At this moment, the characters in the paintings are watching the two men whispering.

　　 A man dressed in medieval costume and very dignified facial features spoke: "Are you and others the owner and heir of this generation?"

　　 Lucius, who has always been arrogant, now dare not be rude to a portrait. He bowed and gave an old noble courtesy, "Yes, I am Lucius II, son of Abraxas, the thirteenth Patriarch of the Malfoy family, and I'm seeing Lord Nicholas."

"Draco, this is the fourth-generation ancestor of our Malfoy family. He is the oldest of the portraits here. He massacred Muggles under the guise of the Black Death and plundered a lot of land and wealth for the family. "Lucius introduced to Draco.

　　 After Draco heard this, he eagerly followed and bowed to the portrait. "I'm Draco, the son of Lucius II, and I'm seeing Master Nicholas."

Then Lucius pointed to the next portrait, “This is the fifth generation ancestor, Lord Artemis. He once participated in the battle of the vampire royal family, and finally signed an unequal treaty with the remaining blood-sucking royal family, let them be Used by our family."

"This is the sixth generation ancestor, Lucius I. One of our three ancestors—Never put eggs in the same basket. This famous saying comes from him. This ancestor has a strong mana and is said to have With a curse, the queen of the Muggle world will never marry forever."

"This is the seventh generation of ancestors, Lord Artemis II. He participated in the wizarding civil war in Italy. He cooperated with the Pengley family of wizards in Italy. He wiped out the hostile family in one fell swoop and made our family business the first time. Reached into the European boundaries outside the UK, and also gained the friendship of the Pengley family."

"This is the eighth generation of ancestors, Lord Brutus. He founded the anti-Muggle publication "The Witcher in War" and attracted a large number of followers for the Malfoy family. There are many children in the family now. Are the descendants of his followers."

"Who is this…"

　　 Every time Lucius introduces a character in the portrait, Draco has to bow and salute and salute his ancestors once. At the same time, he secretly wondered what the purpose of his father let himself come to visit these ancestors.

　　Introduction all the way, finally came to the last one-the twelfth generation of Patriarch, Abraxas Malfoy, Lucius's father, Draco and Schelling's grandfather.

After Lucius introduced all the portraits, he gave another salute, "My ancestors, the wizarding world is about to usher in a big reshuffle again. My eldest son Draco is still young and has low mana. I hope you all My ancestors can assist me and let his strength grow rapidly to deal with the upcoming chaos."

　　 Abraxas couldn’t help but interject: “Wait a minute, Lucius, don’t you have two sons? Why didn’t you see my other grandson Schelling?”

Lucius replied: "I'm about to discuss this matter with your ancestors. Schelling's philosophy is different from ours. He thinks that pure blood theory is outdated and he wants..." Then Lucius took it to Marl last week. The content of the family meeting of the Fu family is clearly stated one by one.

Abramaxus said angrily: "This **** really hurts me! I actually want to stand in the Muggle Wizard's camp!" Abramaxus has met the two brothers of Malfoy, and he loves them all the time. They died of dragon pox when they were almost four years old.

　　 The figures in several other portraits, such as Brutus and the tenth Patriarch Setimos, are also talking in low voices. From their expressions, it can be seen that they agree with Abrams.

Lucius I did not agree with him: "This kid sounds very assertive and clever. I think his views are not unreasonable! Moreover, in the final analysis, everything he does is not the same. For the family. Are you old guys too rigid?"

Abraxas retorted: "This kid was just dazzled by his temporary achievements. Although the pureblood family has been weak in recent years, how can it be so unbearable? Don't forget-the Knights of Walpurgis The presence…"

Lucius I seemed to be determined to talk back to Abraxas, and sneered: "Knights of Walpurgis? So what? The Knights of Walpurgis were indeed very strong back then. We, the Malfoy family. I had to surrender to them and become a part of them, but they have experienced two failures-Grindelwald and Voldemort. The two investment failures are enough to make them feel bad, right?"

Artemis II spoke, and he supported Lucius I’s views, "We, the Malfoy family, don’t need to be under them anymore. Don’t forget, we also have allies-the blood-sucking royal family has cultivated more than 400 lives. In 2016, do you think they have been eating for so long? There is also the Pengelli family in Italy. After the civil war, they were injured on the surface, but the bottom line is still there. For so many years, even if they have not recovered At the peak, I am afraid it will be the same."

Abraxas is a person who hates Muggle wizards. In 1968, when the Ministry of Magic finally ushered in the first Muggle-born Minister of Magic, Nobby Leach (Nobby Leach), he had to step down because of his methods. .

The reason given by the Ministry of Magic at the time was that Leach had to resign because of a mysterious illness in his body. In fact, he suffered serious internal exclusion, and his subordinates violated the law, even in the Deliberately making trouble within the rules.

　　 He said in a low voice, "You won't forget... the one in Knockdown Alley? If that one is brought out, can we have good fruit?"

Lucius I seemed to be a little jealous of "that", and his tone was no longer so confident, "that...has never been born for so many years, and the two turmoil of Grindelwald and Voldemort did not see what he did... Is it already dead? Or is it restricted for some reason and cannot be born at will?"

　　 "That person" seemed to be a taboo topic. After talking about him, every portrait began to quiet down.

Finally, Nicholas, the most senior, spoke. As soon as he spoke, the others calmed down and listened. "Lucius II, it sounds like you seem to have already concluded that you want to make the two heirs separate. We bet from one camp, and we are all dead. Apart from giving some advice, we can’t do anything real. What is the purpose of you asking us to explain this?"

　　 (Note: Except for Abrams, who directly calls his son, other portraits will call Lucius Lucius II in order to distinguish it from Lucius I)

　　 (Note: Nicholas was in a very early age, about the early thirteenth century, so the author asked him to speak in Old English)

"It's like this. It was a good idea to bet on both sides, but I... how do I say, I was anxious for a while and carried out the paternity inheritance ceremony for the two sons. Now Draco has been appointed as the next paternity leader. …" Lucius said vaguely.

　　 "What?" Draco exclaimed, "I am the next Patriarch? Why did you never mention father to us?"
