"There are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies in the world, only eternal interests."

This famous quote came from Winston Churchill, the Muggle Prime Minister who led Britain to victory in World War II.

Obviously, as a two-time British Prime Minister, Churchill had some contact with the wizarding world at the time. Because of this, if his words were applied to the wizards of the wizarding world, they would actually be the same.

And in this day and age, the person who interprets his famous sentence most "thoroughly" is probably the despicable Helbo.

Yes, what Helbo wants is interests, and they are still those interests that "belong only to themselves"!

He can use all kinds of coercion, inducement, and confusing means to win over others for his own use, and he can also abandon his subordinates without hesitation when necessary.

In his eyes, there is no so-called "friend" or "enemy", because deep down in his heart there has always been only himself.

Oh no, maybe a long, long time ago, there were some people who came into his heart, right? It's a pity that those people no longer exist - they have long been worn out by the rules of time to the point that there are no scum left.

Helbo's magic reaction appeared...... Near Big Ben, not far from us. ”

At the dining table, the girl bowed her head slightly, staring at the more conspicuous star ornament on the map. As you can see, it is moving little by little, sometimes glowing red, sometimes turning back to its original silver.

"Helpo is coming around?" When the rock youth heard this, he immediately smashed his mouth full of alcohol and said, "The last time his magic reaction appeared, it was in the body of that strange black humanoid creature, and he also forcibly kicked McLean out of London...... This time, it should still be in that body, right? ”

"It should be so," the girl nodded, and said lightly, "The big black man is also in the same position, and when the magic feedback appears, the star is indeed with the big black one." ”

"Tsk," the rock youth immediately shook the wine bottle in his hand and said, "I'm not going this time!" Last time, I ran to take a look at it secretly, and I was almost discovered by that McLean! ”

"Didn't you find that?" The young gentleman on the coffee table said with a smile, "You are still the strongest in terms of hiding ability, who will go if you don't go?" ”

"Don't even go!" The rock boy said in annoyance, "That guy Helmo wasn't a good thing, and now he's obviously got what he wants...... Well, even if it may be almost meaningless, it's a matter of time! If I were caught by him now, God knows what would have happened? ”

Before he could say this, the two of them listened to Fei on the other side of the table say coldly:

"You might die."

Listening to these words that are not ordinary reality, the rock youth finally lost his anger, and he could only roll his eyes.

"Do you hear that?" He looked back at the gentleman and said, "With that guy's ego, I guess he didn't even take us as human beings!" ”

"Okay, okay, if you don't go, you won't go!" The middle-aged gentleman took a sip of coffee, then sighed and said, "Fei, remember not to trigger those necklaces...... At the moment, Helbo doesn't necessarily need us to do anything, let's wait and see how it happens! ”

"I know."

With that, the girl lowered her head again, and went on to fiddle with her little palm-sized doll.

But only a few seconds later, the rock youth sitting on the bar stool suddenly said loudly:

"Fei! Look, did the red light flash again? ”

Before he could finish his sentence, the girl had already raised her head again. And this time, her always plain face finally had a little more solemnity.

"He's coming to us...... With the big black man. ”

……

Maca didn't expect that Helbo's men still had really smart people. It's a pity that under the strong oppression of Helbo, they have no way to resist at all, and can only use some ways to buy themselves more time to judge the form.

But...... Of course, the so-called "smart people" are not necessarily good people.

In the case of the three wizards who got together to do things, what they wanted was to see who could kill Maka and Helbo.

Although in terms of consequences, they may have preferred Maca to win the battle, but if Maca still loses in the end, I believe they will only support Helmo without hesitation.

After all, there is a lot of risk in following that guy - maybe someone will rise up, and even their nominal "men" will be wiped out.

But it's better than standing on the opposite side of the winner and looking for death, isn't it?

Of course, in any case, that will be after Maca and Helmo really decide the winner. As things stand, he doesn't have to worry about more enemies......

Unless, Helmo goes and speaks in person, let the remaining men start attacking!

"yes, that's fine."

At this moment, Maca was still in the tent staring at the crucible. When he found that the liquid was almost condensed into a paste, he nodded to himself, and with a wave of his hand, he extinguished all the flames under the cauldron and transformed it into a cloud of ice.

"Whew-"

As a burst of water vapor evaporated, the crucible quickly cooled, and even the ointment inside turned into an ice-cream-like state.

After this final step, he picked up a special insulated medicine jar from the side and filled it with a wooden spoon.

"After the curse is removed, he should be able to complete the work of regenerating muscle and replenishing blood by himself...... In any case, he is the dean of St. Mungo, and that little thing must be fine. ”

Maca muttered to herself, and put away the medicine jar first, intending to go to the bed for a while it was still late at night.

As he passed by Harry and Ron, he couldn't help but smile when he noticed that they were sleeping soundly together.

"Good night!"

Silently saying hello, Maca turned around and walked inside, and then didn't even take off her clothes, just lay down on the soft quilt and prepared to make do with it.

However, at this moment, an abnormal wave of magic power suddenly came out of the pocket of his waist, causing him to sit up again.

“…… Is that the necklace? ”

Maca quickly took out the box containing the cursed necklace, and then opened the lid to take a look, only to find that the surface of the necklace was inexplicably covered with a layer of gray color visible to the naked eye.

What's even more strange is that he actually sensed a trace of spiritual power connection directly from the necklace, and it extended out of the tent.

"It's ...... What do you mean? ”
