Chapter 2646: aftertaste

"Miss Granger, seeing that the Rebel Alliance has become active again in the front line of the fight against disaster, leading so many heroic people to fight for the survival of mankind. As one of the people who assisted Miss in founding it, It's a real honor."
In Hermione's makeshift office, which was simply furnished, the old butler was sitting calmly at the guest table.
Well, it is said that it is a guest seat, but it is actually just a lonely back chair.
In fact, even Hermione only had an ordinary desk to use for office work - it was filled with various documents, obviously it was not suitable for entertaining guests.
However, even in such a simple environment, the old housekeeper's temperament that had already penetrated into his bones was still visible to the naked eye. Whenever he was there, he always made people feel extraordinarily comfortable, and even the unease and anxiety seemed to be ironed out.
"Don't say that," Hermione said, looking at the other party. "Mr. Butler is not as simple as helping. If there was no Mr. in charge, Mrs. Maxim and I alone would not be able to make it stand firm. Mr. One of the founders, and that's something that pretty much everyone in the league knows today."
"Oh, I don't remember that I have done such a great thing!" The old butler said with a smile, "What's more, the Rebel Alliance, which has been reactivated now, is far from the one used to test the attitudes of all parties. The temporary organization has nothing to do with me..."
The old gentleman said this, and seeing that Hermione seemed to want to correct again, he waved at her.
"Don't get caught up in this little thing," he said, "and I'm not trying to get away from it. As Miss Granger proposed and led this initiative to counterattack, me, and I The master of the family behind him actually agrees very much... Otherwise, I would not have appeared in front of the young lady today."
Hermione's eyes lit up when she heard the words.
"Mr. Butler, you mean—"
"Yes," the old butler smiled and nodded lightly, "although Mr. Patriarch did not come, my visit here already represents the attitude of Mr. Patriarch - Miss Granger must know that, in fact, I am also a former Not long ago, I separated from my lady and returned home in a hurry. I originally went to listen to the owner's views on the current situation. Speaking of which, the owner of the family spoke highly of your decision made earlier by Miss Granger. Especially Obtaining the friendship of those intelligent living corpses is indeed a far-sighted stroke."
"Oh, I just..." Hermione couldn't help laughing and said, "I just think that since they have wisdom and ego, and the same feelings as us, they should not be enemies anymore. At that time, Rebes and the others also just expressed their desire to live peacefully with us humans... This can only be said, it has naturally become like this? At least I didn't feel that I had too much effort to deliberately facilitate this. ."
Although she said so, she actually knew in her heart that being friends with the group of intelligent living corpses headed by Rebes was absolutely beneficial and not harmful.
Let's not talk about forward-looking or something. After all, who knows what will happen in the future? But even if she just looked at the front, how much help did she get after the help of those high-level living corpses? This is almost obvious.
However, there were some things, at least Hermione didn't want to be so snobbish. If everything is viewed in the eyes of profit seeking, even the purest friendship seems to change its flavor all at once.
"Oh, it was me who was abrupt, Miss Granger." The old butler was worthy of being a housekeeper for decades, and he immediately noticed Hermione's thoughts, "But please don't pay too much attention to it. In fact, most of the time , there is no conflict between whether it is beneficial or not. Just like this, it is only after the lady has done it that it happens to be beneficial - this does not prove that, 'Give someone a rose, leave a fragrance in your hand (Therosesiheinmine)'?"
"Uh... um." Hermione thought for a while, then nodded.
On the other side, after comforting Hermione, the old butler continued: "Then, I think we should take advantage of this enthusiasm and talk about business!"
"...is it about the US side?"
Hermione's expression lifted, and she said in her heart that the point was finally coming.
However, the next moment, the old housekeeper shook his head gently and said to her:
"Well, actually, what the miss is thinking about, I know - after all, Mr. Blake went to see the head of the house, and that's what he did! But I have to say, the Stewart family is planning something. What kind of careful thinking is actually not that important. At least, it is far from as bad as the young lady imagined... This is the original words of the head of the family. "
"Isn't it important?" Hermione heard the words, UU reading www.uukanshu. Com suddenly looked very surprised, "If what John Stewart said is true, it means that we are in danger of being stabbed deeply in the back at any time! And according to my guess, what he said, Most likely it's true!"
"Yeah!" the old butler nodded, "it is true. The Stewart family has gone astray, as it was a long time ago... But, miss, according to your understanding of the existence of 'living corpses', do you think Stewart Family... can they really easily convert humans into living corpses in batches?"
"This…"
"Perhaps they did have some results," the old butler continued. "By virtue of the long-ago study of the 'Silent One', which has many similarities, and the silence for so long after the disaster, the Stewart family There must be something in their hands. But I don’t believe that they can achieve anything big—nor does the owner of the house. You know, that was the product of Haierbo’s hard work, and he was able to rely on the demon summoning technique. The Stewarts want to make it artificially by other means? Is it that simple?"
Having said that, Hermione was still silent, but saw the old butler suddenly change the subject again.
"Of course," he frowned, "more importantly, the adversary facing us now is not something that a Stewart family who has gone astray can compare. 'Witch Kern', yes In fact, after learning the name from Mr. Blake, the head of the family rummaged through the books in my Blois library and found some… not very good records for us… listen Saying that Miss is going to Hogwarts Castle? I think after hearing this clue, Miss would better think about it a bit more..."
