Brian was sitting in the coffee shop, and the melodious sound of the violin came from not far away.This is a century-old store, both in the decoration of the store and the attire of the waiters, with an ancient palace style, luxurious and reserved.If it wasn't for the person he was going to meet next, Brian would definitely be enjoying the environment here at this time.

After a while, Snape led a well-dressed young man through the gate.Because the characteristics of the two were too obvious, Brian could easily see them.

"This is Lucius Malfoy."

Brian stood up, nodded, then stretched out his hand and said, "Brian Prince."

Lucius looked up at Bryan with a half-smile, then stretched out his hand and shook it immediately: "I've heard of Mr. Prince's reputation for a long time."

Brian just smiled and didn't answer.When he heard the surname "Malfoy", he knew that Snape's friend was not simple, it was a family that had been passed down for thousands of years.Misfortune came out of his mouth. Facing such a pure-blood nobleman, Brian unconsciously said less.However, this Mr. Malfoy's attitude is much more kind than the frivolous one when they first met.And what the other party said next proved this point.

"It was precisely because of the rumors about Mr. Prince that this meeting was facilitated. Sure enough, being famous is not as good as meeting." Lucius continued.

Brian felt a little helpless when he heard the other party using polite language like skilled diplomatic rhetoric: "You are too famous."

"If you guys want to keep communicating in this way, please forgive me not to accompany you any longer." Snape was obviously impatient with this, and he interrupted the two of them with a face full of impatience.

"Okay, okay, as you wish." Lucius waved his hand, and the expression on his face became a little more sincere, "The development of Muggles in the past few hundred years has exceeded the expectations of the magic world, and now we are Fresh ideas and techniques from the Muggle world are needed."

As soon as Lucius' words came out, Brian guessed the other party's intention.I have to say that his guess was not wrong, this Mr. Malfoy is not a simple person.As far as he knew, pure-blood nobles had an innate sense of superiority over Muggles. In their view, things related to Muggles must be lowly, and even contacting Muggles was a matter of degrading their status.And this Mr. Malfoy only got a glimpse of the strength of the Muggle world from his performance in one battle. A new technology decision in the melon world.Such sensitivity to future trends and the spirit of flexibility are really admirable.

"I'm just an ordinary medical school professor," Brian raised his eyebrows, a little indifferent to Lucius' statement, "I don't think I can help you much."

Lucius seemed to have expected this a long time ago, and the expression on his face did not change at all: "You know much more about the Muggle world than we do, and what we lack is our understanding of the Muggle world. I think this It’s where we can work together.”

As he himself said to Snape, after satisfying his curiosity, Brian didn't want to have too much contact with the wizarding world, he needed a return to a normal life.So Brian is obviously not interested in the cooperation proposed by Lucius.But because Lucius Malfoy was Snape's friend, Brian obviously wouldn't say no to him.

"If it's just to help you understand the Muggle world, I think I can do it. But you said 'cooperation', I don't think I have this ability. Of course, if you want, I can introduce a few reliable experts in related fields Here you are." Brian said flatly.

Lucius was slightly taken aback by Brian's words, and then glanced at Snape indistinctly.He nodded, seeing that Snape didn't seem surprised by Bryan's reaction.With just one glance, he was sure that the two people in front of him seemed to have reached an agreement. This Mr. Prince didn't want to have too much to do with the magic world.

"It couldn't be better like this." Lucius smiled, stroking the snake head on the crutch with his hand, and nodded, "I want to be here now to thank Mr. Prince."

"You can call me Brian."

Lucius immediately changed his address in a polite manner: "So, Mr. Brian, when are you free? Where do we start to understand the Muggle world?"

In fact, when Brian said he would help understand the Muggle world, he didn't expect that Mr. Malfoy would take it seriously.He thought that what the other party agreed to was just his plan to help introduce experts later, but he didn't expect that the nobleman in front of him not only took it seriously, but also seemed to be very keen on understanding the Muggle world, and could even be called anxious.But this kind of action is not annoying.

Brian was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "If it's convenient for you, I can take you around right now, which can be regarded as having a general understanding of the Muggle world. In fact, I think that as far as general daily necessities are concerned, Mr Snape knows a lot."

Lucius was naturally convenient: "Then trouble Mr. Brian."

Brian shook his head, then stood up first, and said, "Then let's go."

Brian led the two onto the London subway, and then explained to Lucius: "I saw the steam train you used on platform nine and three-quarters. It was the first industrial Muggle The revolution used, since the second industrial revolution, those things powered by steam engines have been eliminated. The underground railway we ride now is powered by electricity."

Brian could see that Lucius was puzzled by electric drives, and he had to explain: "Well, I can't explain clearly what electric drives are, but you should have seen lightning, which has a lot of energy. We are now using the principle of magnetism and electricity discovered by the Muggles themselves to use electricity for our own use, so as to create some tools to make life more convenient."

Lucius has been frowning since he got on the subway. He doesn't like the bad smell and the dirty-looking seats on the subway.Even so, he had to admit that this means of transportation invented by Muggles was much faster and smoother than the steam trains they used.

Knowing that he had no way to explain those technological inventions clearly, Brian took the two to the British Science Museum in South Kensington.This museum, built in 1857, preserves many epoch-making exhibits, and it is also Brian's favorite place to visit when he was a child.And because the explanations next to the exhibits are clear, it is easy for wizards to understand the technological development of Muggles.

Several people slowly watched along the exhibition hall, the more they watched, the more shocked Lucius was. Even Snape, who grew up in the Muggle world, had to admit that he had been away from the Muggle world for too long, A lot of things have changed.

"So..." Lucius reconfirmed slowly with the aristocratic tone that only belonged to the Malfoy family, "Muggles landed on the moon with their own flying machine?"

"Indeed." Although Brian didn't see the slightest bit of surprise from Lucius' performance, he was well aware of the degree of pretentiousness of these nobles, and such a question itself already explained some problems.

Lucius and Snape looked at each other tacitly, and then sighed, "Muggles..."

For a while, several people didn't say anything, especially Malfoy, who always had a sense of superiority. He suppressed the turmoil in his heart, but his expression became more serious unconsciously, especially the corners of his mouth that had been slightly raised became straight.What had already been a rudimentary plan became clear.His eyes swept over his left arm, and then silently clenched his cane.

"Hey, Brian! I didn't expect to meet you here." Chris held his precious daughter in one hand, waved enthusiastically with the other, and greeted Brian.

"Godfather." The little girl kicked her short legs vigorously, ran up to Brian, and opened her arms.

Brian was feeling uncomfortable with the silence among the few people. After seeing the three members of Chris's family, he greeted him naturally, and then hugged the pink and tender little girl.

"Are you bringing Baby Honey to visit?" Brian hugged the little girl with one hand, and pointed the little girl's chin with the other, making people "giggle" and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

"Baby Mien wanted to come here by herself." Silly father Chris looked proud.Then he looked at Snape politely, and said hello unnaturally: "Mr. Snape." He still remembered the last time Brian complained to him and got caught.

Chris looked at the platinum-blonde long-haired youth standing next to Snape. Although he had restrained himself consciously, the other person's demeanor was still noticeable at first glance, "This is..."

"Mr. Lucius Malfoy. He is a good friend of Mr. Snape." Brian didn't say much, but Chris immediately realized that this man came from the wizarding world.Although it was strange that they would appear here, Chris greeted them politely without asking more questions.

Lucius nodded reservedly, even though he was shocked by the development of Muggles, and even decided to develop in the Muggle world, this is the best attitude he can do.

Brian gestured to Snape and Lucius, and then walked aside with the little girl and the Chris family in his arms.

"What's life like moving to Surrey?" Bryan asked as they walked, not noticing that Snape stiffened a little after hearing his question.

"Oh, it's just wonderful." Chris put his arms around his wife. "You don't think so, Jacqueline?"

The brown-haired woman smiled gently, and it could be seen that she was also very satisfied with her new home and life: "Indeed. The environment of the community we live in is very clean and more livable, and there are many children of the same age as Mien in the community. Most families They're all very well-bred, and the kids are fine. Except for one family, but it doesn't hurt."

"Of course, the clinic's business is also very good." Chris added with a wink.

Brian gave him a knowing look, and then said with a smile: "This way I won't feel so guilty."

"Oh, you don't have to feel too guilty. These are all planned by us." Chris patted Brian, and then looked worriedly at the two standing behind him, "I hope your matter will be resolved soon. "

Brian followed his gaze, and then showed a relieved smile: "It's been resolved, and I can return to my normal life soon."
