Chapter 1088: It has nothing to do with you
Helbo's actions have always been unpredictable.
Although at the beginning, taking advantage of the opportunity that he had not been able to adapt to this era, Maca caught him off guard several times. But even then, Maca only had a superficial advantage.
After Helmo saw through his plan and Eun Sr. and lured the meteorite to Hogwarts, the creature's whereabouts became more and more erratic.
Therefore, since the information available for analysis is never enough to infer Helbo's true intentions, Maca's response cannot be targeted, and can only rely on the most complete strategy possible to meet the moves.
But there is no doubt that in the face of an enemy that will continue to resurrect, the choice of dragging both the open and the secret confrontation into a protracted war is obviously meaningless.
"Helmo, when I heard that you were in France before, you didn't hesitate to run away again. I don't know what you're up to, but that's probably not a good thing for me......"
As she raised the shiny staff in her hand, Maca continued to say:
"So, take your hands off your basilisk! You don't want to talk about it alone, if you want to leave me with the basilisk...... Are you underestimating me? ”
Before he finished speaking, he saw Maca suddenly wave his hand, and the eight-eyed giant spiders gathered in this waterway moved one after another, and honestly retreated farther away.
But when Helmo heard this, he just smiled briskly.
"Oh no!" He curled the corners of his mouth in the darkness and said leisurely, "That's not enough...... You can probably tell that I'm just treating it. Your cooldown rules have already hurt its nerves, and if you don't cure it sooner, it will leave sequelae! ”
Speaking of this, Helbo suddenly shrugged his shoulders again and said:
"yes, I know what you're thinking...... Yes, it has other uses for it, and I can't bear to let it just become a crippled basilisk. ”
"Hmph."
Hearing him say this, Maca couldn't help but sneer.
"That means you're even more reluctant for me to take her away from you...... Is it? ”
"...... 'her'?"
At this point in the conversation, Helmo finally raised his eyebrows, and then said slightly:
"Hah! He is worthy of being the most optimistic young man in this era! In such a short period of time, have you already noticed such an important thing? Well...... That's not good, I wanted to surprise you! Doesn't that make the future boring? ”
With that, Helbo suddenly withdrew the hand that was pressed on the basilisk, and then folded his hands and stroked them a few times.
"While your performance is truly commendable—especially your comprehension of the rules of the soul, it's truly astonishing. Still, huh...... How boring is it to be too far in advance? I think you'd better wait a little longer! ”
However, the moment Helpo said this, Maca suddenly cast several spells on her face. He had a hunch that this guy wanted to run again.
And, judging by Helbo's next move, his judgment is undoubtedly correct.
Just as Maca's spell was quickly implemented, Helbo also swept his backhand over the basilisk's body, and a spatial fluctuation appeared out of thin air from the location of the two.
It's a pity that Maca's first step of arrangement made his spatial movement suddenly invalid.
"Huh?"
Helbo immediately stopped what he was doing, and saw him look around, and then shook his head slightly.
"It's called the 'Anti-Apparition Spell', isn't it?" "Well, after taking a moment to analyze the so-called 'curses' of this era one by one. Sometimes I have to admit that there are some benefits to the use of these novel rules—at least for those who don't have much talent, it's not so difficult to cast magic. ”
But Maca knew that the spatial rules contained in the Anti-Phantom Transfiguration Charm were not even superficial, they were just superficial. But just by hooking it up to the rules of space, it has a value of use.
As Maca said earlier, it would be difficult for him to stop Helmo from leaving on his own in a short period of time, but if he wanted to take the basilisk with him, it would be a burden on Helmpo.
For an ancient wizard like the other party, spatial movement is a rather complex magic, and even if it is just touching the most basic spatial rules, it is not something that ordinary people can use.
As for Helbo's perception of modern spells at the moment, Maca had only heard it.
Even though Helbo's own strength is indeed quite amazing, and his study of the rules of the soul and some of the rules of nature is extremely deep, Maca has never been impressed by the opinions that arise when these old and new concepts collide.
Human energy is limited, and even if it takes a lifetime, it is difficult to achieve in all aspects. Even an old guy like Helmo, who refuses to die, has never seen how versatile he has been.
In the case of concentrating on a certain point, modern spells, which do not seek to be solved, become an excellent supplement to the practicality.
Because of this, even the most magically gifted wizards have a need for modern spells, don't they?
Maca ignored Helbo's personal remarks, and listened to him directly:
"Look! As I said, you can't just take her. If you have to leave, why don't you ...... Let's go as you come! ”
"Oh, you can see you're confident."
Helbo was not annoyed that he had not been able to leave with the basilisk, but he still smiled:
"Yes, a true wizard should be firm at all times. If you don't even believe in yourself, then what else can you believe? ”
But at this point, Helbo suddenly raised his hand again and pointed slightly to the top of his head.
Now that there was no magical lighting, the sewers were once again in total darkness. But he didn't care, as if he knew that Maca could easily "see" his movements.
"However, as a wizard, you still have something that doesn't qualify." Helbo's tone was suddenly mixed with a bit of inexplicable regret, "You know? A true wizard not only needs to 'believe in himself', but also 'believes in himself'......"
After a pause, he emphasized:
"For wizards like us, who are on the path of discovering the mysteries of magic, certain emotions are simply unnecessary!"
Maca could tell that Helbo's words were indeed from the heart. As far as the famous dark wizard of ancient Greece is concerned, the "despicable Helbo", his concept of life is indeed like this.
But the question is, why did he say these words to Maca?
Is it just a catharsis after being bored underground for too long? Or is it a kind of sharing and showing off after achieving something and gaining something?
No, Helbo's reasons for saying these words are probably not so "boring".
For Helmo, Maca has never had too much prejudice from the beginning to the end - he doesn't like Helmo, and even dislikes it, but some of his opinions about Helmo have always been judged from a neutral point of view.
And it is precisely because she is never prejudiced that Maca can peel back the cocoon of the more real "Helbo" and see it clearly little by little.
So he understood that when the ancient dark wizard was looked at without all standards of good and evil, a set of principles became the reference point for interpreting his actions.
Now, for example, Helmaugh's words may be a genuine desire for Maca to understand his ideas and agree with them.
After all, in this era, there are really not many people who can understand his words. Before some opportunities came, he also wanted to have someone he could talk to, even if there were some irreconcilable contradictions between the two after all.
Unfortunately, Maca and Helbo have fundamentally different philosophies, let alone the possibility of mutual agreement.
"Okay!" Maca tugged at the corners of her mouth and frowned, "Although I expected you to threaten me with this...... Because it's not the first time you've done this. But don't you think that after suffering a loss, I will still be defenseless in this situation? ”
With that, Maca also raised her head seemingly casually.
The current situation is actually very clear, Helbo is using London on the ground as a hostage, and wants to blackmail Maca to stop. Judging from the previous situation, his purpose was probably to leave safely with the basilisk.
To be honest, with Maca here to stop him, it was really difficult for him to take the basilisk away, not to mention that there was an equally powerful trench-clad wizard behind Maca who was silently watching.
Speaking of which, the reason why Maca discovered this basilisk hidden in the sewers of London today is really just a coincidence.
I guess Helbo's idea of hiding the basilisk here comes from the famous saying "the most dangerous place is the safest place"!
However, Marca's senior sister Christine traded one of her lives for Helpo's mistake, exposing the basilisk to Marka in advance.
It can be seen that in this world, accidents always come unexpectedly. It gives everyone a chance fairly, often for good or evil.
After hearing Maca's "kind reminder", Helbo still sneered softly.
Anyway, he's here to deal with this accident today—the fact that the basilisk was discovered by Maca alone was enough to make him unhappy, and it was hard for him to show it until now.
"McLean," Helmault said coldly, "So, you've made up your mind today that you're not going to let me take her...... Even if I can tell you plainly that her usefulness has nothing to do with you at all? ”
