Chapter 979

The banquet had officially begun, and Solim was alone in an inconspicuous place, watching his sister talk to the guests with Flegg on his arm. His mission was done, he just had to wait for the banquet to end, Solim didn't like this kind of occasion, a bunch of people walking around with cups, not to mention that the cup could also be a portkey......

Solim was happy with his position, there were few people around, and everyone squeezed as far as they could, as if that was a way to show their status.

Like Solim, Lucius was happy with the status quo. In the past, it was impossible for the Malfoy family to attend such a banquet, but since Draco met a young man named Solim on the Hogwarts train seven years ago, the Malfoys' fortunes seem to have gradually improved.

Lucius was well aware that his last name was arguably the most insignificant in this room, but it didn't matter, he still had time to run it - he was good at it.

"Is that Draco's father?" Elena touched her fiancé's side, holding a suspicious glass of blue liquid in her hand.

"You don't blame me, do you?" said Solim.

"Your sister has already explained it to me when she was in the room. Elena touched her bare arm with one hand, "And I also saw the few people who were about to make trouble just now, 917." "

"For security reasons, I can not come, but isn't it good that you make a decision without asking my opinion beforehand?" Elena complained a little about Solim, "I didn't say anything when you left me on the island, I can tolerate the boredom, but I hope there can be some communication between the two of us." "

"It's my fault. Solim admits that he did ignore Elena's feelings, "I didn't take your feelings into account, I'll pay attention to it later—you enjoyed the occasion?"

"Like?" said Elena, shaking her head, "I don't like it, but it's better than being at home, especially if there's no TV to watch." "

Nana said...... You can't be blamed for this. Elena hesitated, "She said you've been in some trouble lately and you're worried about it." If...... I mean, if you can, can you talk to me? It would be nice to talk to me a little bit more. "

Trouble, it was, but Solim didn't really want to talk to Elena about the duel...... However, thinking about his previous words, Solim thought that the lack of communication between the two of them who were destined to marry was indeed not a good thing.

"You know what?" Solim snapped his fingers, and the distant noise faded away.

"I had a duel later, a death match - you know what that means, right?"

"Duel?"

Elena's eyes widened, she was from the United States, not to mention seeing a duel, she rarely even heard it. American wizards are not like the cowboys of the West, and unlike the wizards of Europe who like to duel at every turn, they don't have a duel culture there.

"Yes, deathmatch - only one of the two sides of the duel can survive. Of course, you don't have to worry, I won't lose - it's not a consolation, but the outcome of this duel is already determined before it begins. "

"Why do you still keep this barbaric practice on your side?" Elena was puzzled, "for what? to show strength, like the animals that compete for mates?"

"The duel is against Sylna's eldest brother. Unless he is prepared to snatch you from me, the duel between me and him will not be what you say – for a mate. "

Elena was stunned for a moment, not knowing if it was because of her fiancé's bad joke or because the object of the duel was Sylna's eldest brother.

"Nana's big brother, she never told me he had another big brother, I didn't know that ...... until just now" Elena froze, as if she didn't know how to express it, "it's the inconspicuous one, I just found out he's Nana's brother." "

"Oh, you've seen Sabiandis?" Solim chuckled, "He's really not very noticeable, she doesn't talk to you about Dax—the one who's going to duel me, it's normal not to talk to you about him, because there's nothing to talk about." "

What did Sylna and Elena talk about Dax? how did they get bullied by this big brother when they were kids?

"That'...... Nana's mother knows? I just met her, and to be honest, she didn't give me (CDBA) very good feelings. Elena looked into the crowd, hoping to find someone she was talking to.

"Does it make a difference if you know or don't know? There is no room for bargaining in this duel, either for me as a party or as a mother. Solim said, "Dax betrayed his family, colluded with outsiders, and tried to kill his people, and in any case, his fate has been decided. "

"Collusion with outsiders, killing people...... Elena's face became very ugly, which reminded her of her own family, her father and several uncles were killed by her own people.

"Who is he going to kill?"

"His younger brother. "

"That Sabi...... That's how it sounds, isn't it?"

"He's going to kill me. Solim looked Elena in the eye, "But apparently he didn't make it." "

"You too—" Elena was visibly blindsided, and she was a little confused about the relationship between the two men. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Oh, no. Solim scratched his head, "Sylna's mother and my mother are sisters, which is why our father can't be here today - he's still in exile. "

Elena was a little confused, she wanted to ask something, but she found that she didn't know where to start.

"There's a lot of bad stuff in our house. Solim was a little melancholy, "I'll talk to you later, Sylna seems to be looking for you." "

Solim noticed that her dazzling sister was looking around.

"Maybe it's you. Aren't you going with you?" Elena also found Silna at a glance, today she is the main character, and no woman's light will surpass her.

"Not me, she knew I would just stay away in such an situation. Solim shrugged.

"Well, maybe I should go calm down...... Is that your Hogwarts student?" Elena said, holding her glass, ready to leave.

"Yes, she's obviously a little uncomfortable with the occasion. Solim noticed Hermione, who was following Neville and Hannah in a daze, and Draco was following Lucius everywhere in a serious way.

"I'll see you later...... My dear. Elena waved her hand and went straight to Silna.

Staring at Elena's bare back for a few seconds, Solim walked towards Hermione and the others, thinking that now might be a good opportunity.

Hermione was looking around like a rabbit trapped in a trap, ready to run away. She wasn't without experience in banquets, and she was a regular at the Slug Club, but the familiar surroundings of Hogwarts didn't make her feel so inhibited...... And here are people she doesn't know, and they're all pure-bloods, so she has to be careful not to get into trouble.

However, the people who gathered around Hogwarts at the beginning had long since dispersed, and only Neville, a silly boy with solid eyes, and Hannah, an honest girl, were willing to accompany her.

"You seem troubled?" Solim approached Hermione from behind.

"Solim!" Hermione almost jumped for excitement as if she had seen a long-lost relative.
