Chapter 500 Banquet
After returning home, Li Zhuoguang briefly talked about the gains from this visit to the Malfoy family. Gaining an extra ally was secondary. Although Lucius Malfoy spoke better than singing, and most of what he said was true.
But in the British magic world, the Malfoy family is not only famous for its wealth, but also for its fence-sitting style. The Malfoy family is almost like Nie Feng's mother. Only the strong are worthy of it. Now it is so miserable only because Dumbledore does not form a party.
From a certain perspective, following Dumbledore is much worse than following Voldemort. Even if they win in the end, there is no fruit of victory to share. The group of people in the Order of the Phoenix are still poor and weak.
All the benefits were taken away by new forces that worked but did not work hard, such as some neutral families, such as an incompetent Minister of Magic and his followers.
A few days passed in a flash, and soon it was the day when the Malfoy family held a banquet. Since it was a banquet, it was impossible for Li Zhuoguang to go alone, and everyone had to go together.
It stands to reason that robes should be specially made for such a banquet, but everyone didn't take this banquet seriously at all and went there in casual clothes.
When they arrived at Malfoy Manor, the wizards in luxurious robes looked a little unnatural, but no one said anything. Everyone knows that the Li family, an outsider, has money and strength. It seems that they are ready to take root in this place, and at least within a hundred years, they will be a family that cannot be underestimated.
Even many family leaders took the initiative to hold wine glasses and chat with Wei Changfeng and others. As for Li Zhuoguang, except for Lucius, everyone present just treated him as a child.
There were parents of Slytherin Quidditch team members who only thanked Li Zhuoguang for the Nimbus 2001 he gave them when they saw him.
And Li Zhuoguang was also happy with this. He was not in the mood to be hypocritical with these people. So he came to the dining table by himself, took some snacks from the cold food area, and sat in the corner to eat.
While eating snacks, Li Zhuoguang heard someone whispering: "As beautiful as the legend says, I heard she has Veela blood."
Another person denied: "Look at her ears, that's not a Veela feature. But no matter what, she must be a mixed-blood."
"Being mixed with magical animals is much stronger than being a pure-blood wizard. I heard she is also a member of the Li family, just a distant relative. Maybe I can..."
"Come on, just relying on your family and you? I'll do this kind of thing."
"If you have the ability, compete fairly. Hey, you dare to sneak away?"
Li Zhuoguang shook his head. Sure enough, no matter which world, appearance is justice. It seems that they are going to pursue Ariana. I wish them good luck.
The adults can ignore Li Zhuoguang, but their children don't have this confidence. Not to mention other colleges, at least Slytherin, those who attend the Little Genius Tutorial Class have not been asked about the content of the tutorial class after class.
With everyone speaking the same language, they know what level Li Zhuoguang is. It can be said that apart from the hidden skills of the professors at Hogwarts, he could not learn more in school.
Draco Malfoy brought a group of young wizards to the corner to see Li Zhuoguang. Although this was his home, Malfoy was as reserved as a guest at this time. Not to mention the other young wizards.
However, as the host, Malfoy still had to bite the bullet to introduce these young wizards to Li Zhuoguang: "This is Pansy Parkinson, this is..."
Except for some well-known characters, Li Zhuoguang usually treated everyone else as NPCs and had no contact with them. So many young wizards in the same grade as Li Zhuoguang only talked to Li Zhuoguang under Malfoy's introduction until now.
Li Zhuoguang dealt with the young wizards in a casual manner, while glancing at Lucius, feeling that this man really sold out his teammates without any hesitation.
He knew exactly what would happen tonight, but in order not to be discovered, he invited many people's families to attend the dinner.
Although Xiong Facai and his team had exposed some of their strength when they were tested before. But Lucius didn't know their true strength after all. His behavior undoubtedly exposed these guests and their families to danger.
Li Zhuoguang looked around and found that all the children present were now around him. After a little thought, he pulled Malfoy aside and whispered, "Who asked you to bring these little wizards to see me?"
Malfoy thought that his behavior had angered Li Zhuoguang, and he stepped back half a step in fear and whispered, "It was my father. He said that we might be allies in the future. As the next generation of the family, we... we'd better get along well from childhood."
Li Zhuoguang asked again, "Does your father know my strength?"
"I... I did say that."
Li Zhuoguang nodded, so everything made sense. It seemed that Lucius was going to do a favor for himself. With early preparations, he thought it was no problem for him to protect these little wizards.
If he could protect the little wizards around him from the attack of the black wizard, even if one or two were injured or even died. But the remaining families will definitely remember this favor, and these little wizards are almost the next generation of leaders in the family. When they grow up...
Fuck, is Lucius so good at this? He is pushing himself to the position of Voldemort in the past. It's a pity that I can't stay here for long. I hope he won't collapse when I disappear.
Narcissa brought a house elf with her food cart and brought a lot of snacks. Although these little wizards act like adults in such occasions, they immediately surrounded the snacks.
Narcissa quickly came to Li Zhuoguang and whispered, "The defense magic of the manor will be closed in a while."
Li Zhuoguang nodded, indicating that he understood.
Li Zhuoguang put the snack plate on the table beside him, unfolded a circle, and covered the entire Malfoy Manor. Soon, several people appeared in his perception.
He stretched, as if he wanted to move, and walked to the side of a French window. Sure enough, someone blew open the French window with a spell, rushed in, and immediately held Li Zhuoguang, who was standing by the window, hostage.
Others filed in, pointed their wands at everyone in the hall, and just as they were about to shout, they heard Li Zhuoguang say coldly: "From the looks of you, are you coming for my Li family?"
The Death Eater was a little confused. What Li family? Don't you know this is Malfoy Manor? But this kid dared to interrupt me, so I might as well use Cruciatus to teach him a lesson.
Unfortunately, Li Zhuoguang's movements were faster than his. Just as the Death Eater was about to point his wand at him, red flames appeared on Li Zhuoguang's body, and the flames quickly spread from Li Zhuoguang's body to the Death Eater's body.
The Death Eater who held Li Zhuoguang hostage was burned to ashes by the flames before he could utter a word, and his soul was taken away by Li Zhuoguang, waiting to be used after a little refining at home.
But Li Zhuoguang did not forget that there were still some small troubles that had not been solved.
