Chapter 1604 Offensive? Defensive?

"Tuk-tuk... click."

Two knocks sounded from the door of the living room. Not long after, the door was gently opened by a servant waiting outside, and the old butler came in from the outside.

"Patriarch, Mr. McLean, the latest report document has been sent, do you want to see it now?"

Bulova and Maca, who had just finished discussing the previous topic, turned their heads and looked at the document in the hands of the old housekeeper. The next moment, Mr. Blois gave Maca another look, and the latter nodded.

"Take it here!"

Waiting for the old butler to quickly come to the sofa and put the documents he had sorted out on the coffee table in front of the two of them, Mr. Blois immediately picked up the summary on the top and read it from the beginning .

On the other side, Maca was immediately attracted by a small stack of magic photos.

"Mr. Blois, have you sent someone into the foggy area to investigate?"

The reason why Maca asked this was precisely because after flipping through it for a while, he found that at least half of these photos were covered with a layer of gray mist. Due to the low visibility, the contents of the photos are basically close-up objects, and the information that can be presented is quite limited.

Hearing Maca's question, Mr. Blois nodded while reading the information.

"Three five-person teams were sent to enter from different edge points of the fog zone, but at present they are only limited to the outer areas to investigate..." He was speaking, and suddenly he flicked the summary document in his hand Shaking, "Also, these three teams have all completed their tasks safely and returned to the temporary foothold...Of course, it can be said that they basically got nothing."

Maca took over the materials that Bulova had read and quickly scanned them, then shrugged and said:

"That's pretty good - obviously, that 'nothing' is a big gain."

According to the report content in the data, some towns outside the misty area are basically empty, and a large number of Muggle residents are missing. Coupled with the fact that various minor signs of damage were found at the scene, it is not difficult to guess that the disappearing Muggles were "themselves" who smashed the doors, windows, and guardrails to leave.

"Ok."

Mr. Blois agreed, and then picked up the stack of photos and flipped through them one by one. But soon, he was seen frowning at more than a dozen consecutive photos of the street.

"How is this going?"

It can be seen that the photos taken are all brick roads stained with puddles of blood. There are a lot of bloodstains, not only in different shapes, but also overlapping each other in some places, and the most weird thing is that most of them appear very regularly on the sidewalk next to the road.

When Maca heard Mr. Blois sighing, he couldn't help but glanced up, and then said casually:

"It was probably thrown out when the building fell - the fog was too heavy, and none of the three teams had gone up to the next building to see it, so I didn't think of it for a while! If you go to those upstairs on the side of the road to see, it should be You can see that there are a lot of windows that have been smashed open."

This would happen if the Muggle residents had all been turned into early zombies. Because the living corpses that haven't grown up are almost not intelligent, if they suddenly receive Haierbo's summoning order, the living corpses upstairs are very likely to instinctively choose to break through the window and climb out.

After a while, Maca went through all the information, and then said again:

"If you want to send a second batch of teams to explore, remember not to go too deep. I think those 'residents'...or 'former residents' have probably gathered in the center of the foggy area by now. And Haierbo, It is very likely that they are waiting there!"

At this point, he spread his hands slightly.

"In short, just go around the periphery first and ensure that the exploration report will be sent back on time. I have to make some preparations here, and then I will go over there as soon as possible to 'take a stroll'."

Before the words were finished, Maca put the information in his hand back on the coffee table, and then stood up from the sofa.

"Mr. Blois, it's time for me to talk to Hermione and Willie. It can be seen that they are still not at ease." He said softly as he walked towards the door, "Well... by the way Let's see if the atmosphere will be better than before with the addition of Noah."

But before Maca reached the door, he heard a word from Bulova behind him.

"Mr. McLean, you're keeping that fat boy from the Hohenheim family, probably not just to adjust the mood of those children?"

But when Blois spoke, Maca couldn't help but pause.

"But Noah's father asked him to visit Blois Castle, isn't it just to tell us that 'Noah has obtained part of Nicole Flamel's inheritance'?"

He didn't deny Bulova's guess about him, but just made some deep meaning of Noah's father send his son over to the surface.

"He asked Noah to come to us, hoping to use our strength to ensure that his 'lucky' son would not be coveted by others, and the reward he gave was obviously the small part of the Philosopher's Stone owned by Noah content of inheritance."

Having said that, Maca turned around and shrugged at Bulova.

"To be honest, I'm still not completely sure that Noah will never have an accident, but now I really need a rough embryo of the Philosopher's Stone-you know why! Therefore, I can only let Noah Ya go and see for himself that someone is in need of his power, and then it's up to him to judge."

"'Not completely sure'...?"

Seeing that Maca left from the door after finishing speaking, Blois couldn't help repeating the sentence lightly, and then shook his head slightly.

There are indeed many people who are greedy for Nicole Flamel's alchemy inheritance, but those are actually nothing. The power of the Bulova family alone can warn those greedy people from acting rashly.

Therefore, Maca is not worried about such "small things" at all.

It's just because the Bulova family helped Maca now - Blois first took the refugees to the French magic world, and then took Maca and other friends directly to the home. Planning to make an enemy of Hai Erbo.

It is conceivable that once Haierbo recovers from his injury and frees up his hands, after he has laid the foundation in England, his next target will inevitably be France.

Not only that, if he wanted to pick a time to make a surprise attack during this period, Fort Blois was obviously the best choice.

To put it bluntly, this place is actually not safe at all. Noah might be able to avoid those jealous wizards here, but he might encounter a bigger threat than that.

"Go! Continue to arrange a team to investigate, and the others... don't consider it for the time being, and prepare to start strengthening the defense of the castle!"

Mr. Blois thought and thought, and finally said this to the old butler.
