The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

Chapter 368 Ludwig von Beckmann

"Eh?!"

Emily screamed, and the resentment on her face quickly subsided, turning into pure shock.

And what followed immediately after the shock was embarrassment.

She didn't think that anyone would dare to come here and pretend to be Link's grandfather. It was very easy to get through, meaningless, and no one could afford the consequences.

So that means, he almost hit Link's grandfather just now?

Emily, who had reacted, quickly hid her wand behind her, and smiled awkwardly at the handsome old man blocking the way, feeling a little overwhelmed.

The old man opposite obviously saw Emily's embarrassment.

A smile emerged from the corner of his mouth, and gradually spread.

"What a wonderful girl, Link is so lucky to be with you. Come on, don't be shy, this is my gift to you."

While speaking, the handsome old man took out a brooch placed in the crystal panel and handed it to Emily.

The shape of the brooch is simple and simple, and the whole is shield-shaped. It is engraved with a semi-upright lion and scorpion, and the outer ring is wrapped with bauhinia ornaments.

There is no doubt that this is an ancient noble medal!

Emily was still a little stunned at the moment, she was about to reach out to pick it up, but Link on the side grabbed her.

This made Emily even more confused, and when she turned her head, she found that Link's face was already gloomy.

Regarding her cheap grandfather, although Mrs. Foley was reluctant to talk about it, Link still collected some information out of curiosity.

The man's name was Ludwig von Beckmann, a well-known hero.

The Beckmann family he led once became one of the most powerful families in Germany and even in Europe, monopolizing all the smuggling business of regulated potions in Europe.

Even if it has been defeated now, and even Beckman is the only member of the family's direct line, but the thin camel is bigger than the horse. The Beckman family is still in the top five in the ranking of pure blood wizard families in Germany. The family strength and heritage Compared with the now-prosperous Foley family, it is no worse than that.

But even so, Link's perception of this grandfather was not good.

This ill will come from Mrs. Foley.

Although Link did not know what happened between Mrs. Foley and Beckman, the relationship between the two of them was very poor.

Under the influence of Mrs. Foley, Link believes that the relationship between himself and the Beckman family and Beckman himself is not an enemy, but it is not a relative, at best, it is a stranger who can barely cooperate.

That's it, for the sake of those old German wizards who took their lives to support them last time!

"Hmm!~ It looks like you already recognize who I am."

Beckman tilted his head with a smile, and didn't seem to care about Link's aggressive behavior, and said as if he had suddenly reacted, "But Link, are you jealous? Don't worry, I I've also prepared a gift for you this time. A gift big enough to satisfy you."

"I am very happy that Mr. Beckman can come to my engagement ceremony with Emily. How dare I ask for any gifts. But the dinner is going on right now. I think Mr. Beckman might as well go back to the venue and continue to enjoy it. ?"

Link shook his head.

He spoke very politely, but there was no smile on his face, and his eyes were even more cold.

At this time, Emily finally reacted when she saw it. The look at Beckman was no longer as respectful as before, and she even took out the wand that was originally hidden behind her.

Beckman had a panoramic view of all this, but the smile on his face did not diminish at all. He spread his arms and was about to speak, but there was a burst of hurried footsteps not far away.

Mrs. Foley and Old Kled walked towards the three of them quickly. Among them, Mrs. Foley did not have much expression on her face, while Old Kled had a grim look, and asked while trotting:

"Why are you here, damn old thing!"

Hearing that, the smile on Beckman's face quickly subsided, and he said lightly:

"Today is an important day for Link's engagement. As his grandfather, I naturally have to come and witness it with my own eyes."

"fart!"

Old Clay was very angry, and this anger was not only directed at Beckman and even transferred to Mrs. Foley.

He hurriedly stood by Link's side, the bloodshot one-eyed staring back and forth on Mrs. Foley and Beckman, "I knew it, I knew it would be such a result. Haha! Don't think that. I don't know what idea you guys are fighting, I won't let you succeed!"

"You old immortal temper is still so hot, it's exactly the same as old Foley." Beckman still maintained his grace and said, "I was reluctant to put Leo in consideration of the bad temper of your Foley family. Ni married, I didn't expect..."

Beckman didn't continue talking, just spread his hands and shook his head helplessly.

This scene almost made Old Kled mad, and immediately, more foul language spewed out of his mouth, and Beckman responded with yin and yang.

For a while, the two were deadlocked.

Link ignored the two who were scolding the street, and turned his attention to Mrs. Foley.

Mrs. Foley was the one who actually undertook the engagement ceremony. The scale of the engagement ceremony was not large, and it could even be said to be very hidden. The news was only circulated in small circles, so Beckmann in Germany could Appearing here must have an inseparable relationship with Mrs. Foley.

What's more, judging from the fact that Mrs. Foley was able to help Link invite such a group of old German wizards as foreign aid, Mrs. Foley should have resumed contact with the Beckman family long ago.

Aware of Link's inquiring gaze, Mrs. Foley's expression was a little complicated.

She sighed deeply, and a left-right separation directly separated Beckman, who was about to fight, from old Kled, and said loudly:

"Don't be embarrassed here, if you want to talk, let's talk next door!"

Right now, the dance party in the auditorium is still going on. This is indeed not a good place to talk about things and quarrel. The movement they just made has attracted a lot of curious eyes.

Old Clay and Beckman finally realized this. They snorted coldly in unison, and then got into the small reception room next door as if they were racing.

Naturally, the three of Link also went, but before entering the reception room, Link finally couldn't help frowning and asked:

"Mother, what the hell is going on?"

Mrs. Foley's expression was a little gloomy, but she still touched the heads of Link and Emily, forced a smile and said:

"Mom won't hurt you."

Link is naturally convinced of this, because Mrs. Riverley has proved it countless times in the past years.

And since this time it won't be a bad thing, it should be a good thing!

Link stared at Mrs. Foley with a smile on his face, and led the two into the reception room with his head held high.

The reception room that Old Clay and Beckman chose was not very large. Except for the seat that was obviously the main seat, there were only two leather sofas on either side.

The two of them don't quarrel anymore.

As a guest, Beckman naturally occupied a sofa. As for Old Clay, he waited for Mrs. Foley and Emily to sit on the other sofa. After Link sat on the main seat, he stood there. Behind Link, he glared at Beckman with wide eyes.

Seeing this scene, the light in Beckman's eyes brightened, and there was a hint of relief in his eyes.

From the order of the seats, he could see that the real loyal object of the Foley family was no longer Mrs. Foley, but his young grandson, who had not even graduated from the wizarding school for a long time.

"Ahem, Link, this is your grandfather, my father, Ludwig von Beckmann, who is also the current patriarch of the Beckmann family." Mrs. Foley introduced, "this time he listened to I told you that you are about to get engaged, so I took the initiative to come."

Although he already knew the general details of the other party, Link patiently listened to Mrs. Foley's introduction, and then turned his attention to Beckman on the other side, and said expressionlessly:

"Mr. Beckman, you and I both know that the purpose of your visit this time is not so simple. I don't think we need to continue dawdling, so please say it directly."

clap clap clap! ~

Beckman applauded when he heard the words, not at all annoyed by Link calling his first name, and looked at Link like a work of art and said:

"Link, you are really outstanding. I already learned about your excellence when Leoni asked me to support you, and I saw you won the Triwizard Tournament from the International Wizards Union later on. Champion, after repelling the attacks of Death Eaters and Voldemort, my expectations for you are even higher. But when I really see you now, I realize that I still underestimate you. I dare to say you Absolutely the best we've had in the Beckman family for hundreds of years..."

"My young master's name is Foley."

Hearing Beckman's excitement, Old Kled interrupted without hesitation, looking at Beckman with contempt in his eyes.

This made Beckman's smile disappear again.

Seeing that a quarrel was about to start again, Link waved his wand and said after a burst of noise in the air:

"I said, don't sell it! Mr. Beckman, if you have any purpose, just say it, I don't have time to talk business with you here!"

Beckman obviously didn't understand the meaning of business bragging, but after hearing this, he still closed his expression and smiled:

"I want you to inherit the Beckman family."

'it is as expected. ’

Link nodded, which was pretty much what he expected.

After all, according to the information obtained from Mrs. Foley, the rest of Mrs. Foley's brothers, sisters, uncles and uncles have long since died in the first Dark Lord War and the subsequent big purge of the Ministry of Magic.

That is to say, Ludwig von Beckmann is the only one left in the direct line of the big Beckmann family. It is normal for him to want to find an heir.

But even after confirming the news, Link still didn't feel much joy in his heart.

Link had never had the illusion that pie would fall from the sky.

He also didn't think anyone would be generous enough to be willing to hand over their large inheritance to a foreigner.

Even if this foreign surname is his grandson by blood.

When he thought about it, Beckmann's idea was probably to change his name to Link von Beckmann, and then, while inheriting the Beckmann family, he also changed all the properties of the Foley family to von Beckmann, so as to To achieve the purpose of occupying the magpie's nest and letting the Beckman family shine again.

It's a pity that Link is very satisfied with the current family, this surname, and has no plans to change it.

That being the case, the matter of inheriting the Beckman family has nothing to do with him.

Link glanced at Old Kled, who was obviously nervous, and sat down in a more comfortable position, using Old Kled's previous words:

"My name is Foley, and my name is Link Foley."

As soon as these words came out, the small reception room fell silent.

After a long time, the old Klie who was standing behind Link gave a strange cry of joy, grabbed the back of Link's chair and shouted at Beckman:

"Did you hear? Did you hear?"

Beckman buckled his ears in disgust, smiled and said to Link:

"I don't plan to change your surname. Even if you use the name Link Foley, you can still inherit the Beckman family. After all, I have no other descendants."

Old Klie was like a duck that was suddenly strangled by the neck, and the strange cry stopped abruptly.

Mrs. Foley nodded to Link.

As she said earlier, she couldn't possibly harm her own son.

Although Beckman was her father, if it weren't for the very good conditions given by Beckman, she would never have let Beckman into Foley Castle.

Link was a little thoughtful when he heard the words, but at this time, old Kled completely reacted, and eagerly stuck to Link's ear, deliberately screaming in a voice that everyone could hear:

"Master, this old guy is a saint! The Beckman family are the most loyal saints!"

"what!?"

Emily, who had been silent for a while, jumped up from the sofa at once.

Link's originally squinted eyes widened instantly.

The term saint also exists in the wizarding world, and its meaning is similar to that of the Muggle world. It generally refers to the disciples and followers of saints and prophets.

Merlin's followers, for example, are called saints.

But after the first Dark Lord War, the meaning of the word saint changed.

It began to refer specifically to followers of Grindelwald, who were also very high-ranking diehards.

Link originally knew that the Beckman family had followed Grindelwald, but he did not expect the Beckman family to be saints.

This is more troublesome.

You must know that the International Federation of Magic is not as faint as the Ministry of Magic, and they have always implemented a policy of high pressure and lore to deal with the saints.

If he really dared to inherit the Beckman family, then the International Magic Federation would dare to transfer all the pressure originally exerted on the Beckman family to him.

"Well, it's getting late, Mr. Beckman might as well rest at my house for a night." Link got up and said, "As for what you said, I think it's better to think about it in the long run."

After saying that, Link did not give Beckman a chance to refuse, and left the living room with Mrs. Foley and Emily.

Old Clay is now satisfied.

He arrogantly snorted at Beckman and walked out.

Before leaving, he turned off the magic light in the reception room.

For a time, Beckman was the only one left in the originally brightly lit reception room, sitting alone in the darkness.

However, he was not as disappointed and angry as Old Kled expected.

On the contrary, his expression at the moment is even a little joy and rejoicing.

Because he found that when Old Kled mentioned the word saint, there was no disgust in Link's eyes, and he was even a little excited.
