Chapter Eight hundred and forty-three: Convince, move closer and monitor
"Father, who is it that sent you a letter in such a rude way?"
Draco's words interrupted Lucius's thoughts. Just as he was about to say William's name, he saw Astoria, a girl who had not yet become a Malfoy woman.
What's more, since William showed his strength so obviously, Lucius didn't want others to know.
There was even a moment when he didn't even want to tell his son Malfoy.
In recent years, his good son has not only abandoned pure-bloodism, but also found a girlfriend who also doesn't care about pure-blood theory. It seems that the two of them will enter the church soon.
This made the Malfoy couple, who had always advocated pure blood, very dissatisfied. However, no matter how dissatisfied they were, when facing their only son, they could only suppress this dissatisfaction deep in their hearts.
Looking at Draco's curious eyes, Lucius knew without hesitation that he couldn't make up his mind.
Sighing, in fact, it started when the Dark Lord died eight years ago and he and his wife betrayed the Dark Lord because of their son.
The pure blood idea he advocates is already a joke.
What's more, William who wanted to join him was not a pure-blood wizard, which made him feel that there was no need to hide it.
After all, when I go to see William, maybe the whole of England will report that the Malfoy family hugged him.
"See for yourself."
Lucius used a clean table knife to separate the envelope, took out the letter paper, placed the envelope on the dining table, and sat on the seat to read.
Narcissa, who was nearest, picked up the envelope and looked at both sides, but surprisingly she could not find the name of the owner of the letter.
Looking at her husband who was frowning as he read the letter, Narcissa had no choice but to hand the envelope to Draco and Astoria who were walking over.
Draco, who was equally puzzled after reading the envelope, stared at the wax seal on the letter and muttered in a low voice, "Why is this family seal so familiar? Who does it belong to?"
"Could it be Devon Hill?"
After Astoria finished speaking, Malfoy and Narcissa immediately reacted and exclaimed, "How is this possible?"
"Nothing is impossible?" Lucius put down the letter in his hand and said with a confused expression,
"You just saw that someone who is so powerful that we almost escaped with just a burst of magic energy needs to pretend to be someone else?
And if you really want to verify whether it is William Devonshire, you only need to make a few phone calls to confirm."
This is true. It is definitely impossible for ordinary people to get William's phone number, but Malfoy still knows many high-ranking people.
If you make a phone call, you only need to identify yourself and explain your intention to the people at Devonhill Manor. If William really sends an invitation, maybe we can chat on the phone first.
Although Narcissa agreed with Lucius's judgment, she still said worriedly, "I'm worried that this is a trap to lure you out.
After all, we have no friendship or contact with the Devonshire family, so why did he suddenly send you a letter?"
This question is on point.
Although the letter stated that the reason for meeting was basic magic, Lucius was very doubtful in his heart.
Since William was already so powerful, why did he ask himself to bring those elementary magic books and magic theories to see him?
Is it possible that a person who is already so powerful that it makes people frightened could be an idiot who doesn't know any spells or magic?
If that's the case, it's impossible to avoid suspicion.
Narcissa, who had already picked up the letter and read it, also looked suspicious and said uneasily, "What does this mean? Is he still learning magic?"
Lucius covered his head with his hands, feeling that his brain was a little exhausted, "Damn it, I want to know what's going on too?"
When the Malfoys were at a loss what to do, Draco suddenly said,
"This, could it be that William Devonshire has never been exposed to English wizards at all, and has learned the magic of other factions?"
"this,,",
Although the Malfoys were instinctively unhappy and even dissatisfied with Draco's words, they felt a sense of relief in their hearts.
I couldn't help comforting myself, it wasn't that I was incompetent, it was just that England's magic system was no one better.
With this reason, Lucius was just trying to find a connection to contact William when he saw a portal with golden light suddenly appear above the dining table.
Before the four people on the scene could activate defensive magic, a long string of golden light flew out from the portal.
At the same time as the sound of clanking metal came, golden lights flying down from the sky were seen stacked one by one on the dining table.
"gold".
In just a few seconds, a large number of shining gold coins appeared on the table where there was no food or cutlery. As time went by, they turned into neat columns of gold coins arranged in layers.
"Ten thousand Devonshire gold coins will be considered as a deposit. I will be waiting for your arrival in London, Mr. Lucius Malfoy."
At this moment, the four people, whose eyes were dazzled by a table full of gold coins, only reacted after hearing William's words.
"Was William Devonshire talking just now?"
"Other than him, who else has a total of ten thousand, one hundred grams of Devonshire gold coins in his hand."
Picking up a gold coin, Lucius looked at the light and found that the light visible to the naked eye on the gold coin was even more dazzling.
"See the light on the gold coin?"
Draco and the other three took advantage of the situation and picked up a gold coin. Without looking carefully, they immediately knew that the light Lucius was talking about was the golden light shining on the gold coin.
"There are some extraterrestrial metals added to these gold coins, so except for William Devonshire, who can go to Mars, I can't think of anyone who has a full 10,000 coins."
"And ten thousand gold coins means one ton of gold, 20 million US dollars, and 13.4 million pounds. Except for William Devonshire, who has the courage to use a ton of gold as a deposit."
Narcissa, Draco and Astoria couldn't help but nod. Some time ago, anyone who watched TV would understand that gold is really not much better than copper for William.
"Okay, Narcissa, help me prepare a gift for the meeting. I'm going to change into a formal dress and get to London early to make some preparations before the meeting so as not to be rude in front of Devon Hill."
"OK, dear".
Narcissa, who has been dazzled by the gold, has no thoughts about pure blood or pure blood at this moment, because she understands very well that if you really want to talk about it, the Devonshire family is much older and more noble than the Malfoy family.
Already.
Coupled with William's own fame, the strength he just showed and the intoxicating golden ocean on the table.
She used to think that her son Draco was the best, but suddenly she felt that it was better not to compare them together.
Otherwise she was afraid that Draco would feel inferior.
More than an hour later, at around two o'clock in the afternoon, Lucius hurriedly got into an old Rolls-Royce with a piece of Chinese porcelain and several copies of magic books left by the Malfoy family.
He simply said goodbye to his wife, son, and Astoria, and then ordered the driver to set off for London.
As soon as Lucius left, the wizard who had been monitoring him and Narcissa outside the Malfoy Manor reported the news that he left the manor and took a car instead of Apparating.
