Although the black market is sometimes a little cold, it is located underground, and it is obviously impossible for an ice storm to blow suddenly.

Of course, even if the wizards of the Werther family were in the water, they would not regard this chill as a natural phenomenon.

"Who!"

Such a fierce cold wind forced all of them to stop attacking Hermione and the others. And even the steward of the Witt family, who seemed to have the strength to spare, only cared about asking hastily at this moment, and then could only hurriedly cast a protective charm to resist.

And it wasn't until everyone on the other side was forced to withdraw their hands that Maca paused the staff, causing the biting cold to stop.

However, although the cold wind stopped, there were still ice crystals and snowflakes falling in the alley, which made a corner of the underground world feel like a cold winter.

"Okay, I think you've calmed down, so ......"

Maka stood between the four Hermione and the wizards of the Werther family, looking at the group of witches and wizards on the other side with her staff. Although his tone seemed to be soothing, the expression on his face seemed to match the ice crystals scattered around him—they were all the same cold.

After a slight pause, he continued:

"So, about the attack on our students in the black market...... I think you need to give me an explanation...... Yes! I'm sorry, but there's one thing I seem to have forgotten—"

Before he finished speaking, a thin layer of cold ice suddenly condensed on the ground in the alley, and spread rapidly along the alleyway. In just a few seconds, all the wizards on the other side couldn't dodge, and the soles of their shoes were frozen all at once.

And at that moment, the wizard at the back who was secretly retreating suddenly couldn't lift his feet, and under the imbalance of his center of gravity, he fell on his back on the icy ground with a "bang".

“…… I hope you remember not to move while I speak. ”

"Ahh

Since the wizard subconsciously propped himself on the ground with his hands when he fell, the cooldown rule obviously wouldn't be merciful to anyone. The ice that was enough to freeze the soles of people's shoes in an instant, and even the palms that held him on the ground were frozen at that time.

Listening to the mournful wails echoing through the alleys, none of the other wizards dared to move. Because when they heard Maca's last words, they had already realized that the young wizard standing in front of them at the moment was undoubtedly Maca McKellen of Hogwarts.

"Oh, I think I forgot to say it again - don't touch the frost on the ground with your hands," Maca said calmly, looking directly at the wizards on the other side, "it's the same as not licking the metal railing with your tongue in the winter, it may be a little sweet, but it will stick!" ”

“…… Who would be so boring? Belch...... Is it really sweet? ”

Coldly, Ron behind Maca couldn't help but mutter, but in exchange for Hermione's usual fierce glare.

Maca turned around and rolled her eyes at him.

"You can try it another day."

However, at the moment when he turned his head slightly, two terrifying green rays suddenly shot out from the crowd of the Werther family, flying straight towards him.

"Avada Suo—"

Obviously, although the two of them were not able to use the silent spell technique on the life-seeking spell, they had already lowered the voice of the mantra to no longer be soft. And looking at the flight speed of the two green spell beams, it can be seen that the opponent's strength is really good.

But unfortunately, even in the midst of this strangely rich mist, it was not possible for them to successfully sneak up on Maca.

I saw that the green light had just swept on the way, and the two ice crystals suddenly condensed out of thin air. In the next second, with two crisp explosions, the miserable green light particles mixed with a large amount of broken ice flew away.

It wasn't until she blocked the two life-requirping spells that Maca turned back with an expressionless face and looked coldly at the two guys who dared to sneak attack behind his back.

"What, you Werthers...... Is this going to be a formal declaration of war on me? ”

"Neither of them is—"

"Shut up."

Before the two attackers could speak, Maca heard two eager and short voices in succession, and their brief conversation caught his attention slightly.

"Huh?" A hint of hesitation flashed in Maca's eyes, "What's not 'not'?" Oh, don't you say ......"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly stretched out his staff and pulled it back.

It was just a simple floating charm, but in his hand, it exerted the power of a control spell, and he restrained the two wizards who had sneaked up on him before, and dragged them out suddenly.

"I think you're trying to say...... These two are not actually from the Werther family? ”

The wizard who had been stopped by the family steward still didn't answer this time, but his expression of pursed lips and desperately endured it made his thoughts clear.

Beside him, although the steward of the Werther family knew that there was no point in concealing it any longer, he still didn't mean to explain, but only looked away slightly and didn't say a word.

At this moment, it was one of the two wizards who were pulled by Maca and both fell to the ground, but he couldn't help but say loudly:

"The Werther family? Amusing...... We are Mr. Helpo's apprentices! How could it be that they were not worthy of the name of some ancient wizard family? As the man spoke, he suddenly said fiercely, "McLean, maybe I'm not as good as others now, but if you don't kill me today, I will definitely let you know who the real strong man is in the future!" ”

However, before Maca could react, another of them didn't even look at his companion, who was still arrogant, and suddenly rushed to say:

"Mr. McLean, don't listen to this fool's stupidity...... What 'we', I don't have anything to do with him, I'm just...... It was only Helbo who held his life, and he had to obey his orders as a last resort! ”

"What do you say? Damn, you cowardly fellow, why did the teacher take you such a bottomless bastard......"

Listening to the quarrel between the two in front of her, Maca couldn't help but shake her head.

"It seems that Helbo is really cold, anyone can take it under his hands!" He said with a slight cry and laughter, "Is there a shortage of manpower like this?" ”

That being said, this was a suspicion in Maca's mind - as a true ancient wizard who pursued the pinnacle of magic, could he be so hasty in choosing his apprentices?

No, at the end of the day, this guy seems to have taken too many apprentices. Think about how many witches and wizards Maka has seen during this time who have called Helmpo "Teacher"?

What's even more suspicious is that none of these self-proclaimed "apprentices" seem to have actually received guidance on self-improvement. Although their talents are not bad, and their strength can be called the better ones among ordinary wizards, they really don't match Helbo's name.

Although most of the ancient apprentices of wizards had to go through a long period of miscellaneous work, but now in modern times, why doesn't Helbo, who is short of manpower, give them a little guidance before being released to do things?

Maybe...... It's not that Helmo didn't take in real apprentices, but rather students who were worthy of receiving his magical theories, and who were still being honed in the works?

Thinking of this, he waved his hand and swept the two of them directly to the root of the wall on the side of the alley, and gave each of them a full-body restraint spell.

Whether these guys are a "disguise" for Helbo, or if they actually have other uses. Anyway, in Maca's opinion, just get them all back and interrogate them well, and then send them all to prison in the end.

Immediately afterward, I saw him turn his head again and say to the wizards of the Werther family:

"You people...... To be honest, it's not much use for me to keep you here. Let's all go back! Tell your old master for me, and I will 'visit' your Werther mansion as soon as possible...... Besides, all the wagons that roam around the black market will be summoned back to me with all the remaining land! Don't think about making any more small gestures. ”

With that, Maca waved her hand, and the ice on the ground instantly subsided. It's just that the guy who intended to sneak away before, I'm afraid that his hands are no longer usable, and even whether he can be cured well is a problem.

The wizards said no more, but hurriedly lifted the wounded man up, leaving behind the two Helmo apprentices and leaving without looking back.

"Maca, this ...... Just let them go back? It's too cheap for them, right? ”

Hearing Ron complaining behind him, Maca turned around and was about to say something, but saw Hermione suddenly leaning over and whispering:

"You know what! The family was suspicious of our attack - don't you feel it? They were clearly merciful to our men at first! It wasn't until the back came these two guys ......"

With that, she turned her head to look at the two wizards who had fallen against the wall, and couldn't help but glance at each other in annoyance.

"As soon as they arrived, they were immediately ruthless - if it weren't for Luna, one of us might have been hit by the Curse! You know, the magic shield can't stop the damage of the Death Curse at all......"

Hearing Hermione say this, Maca couldn't help but turn her head and glanced at them coldly again. Then, he looked at Hermione and the four of them again, frowning slightly.

"You too...... I've read the letter, and I understand your eagerness. He said, "But can't you just try to run out and find someone after you've looked for me carefully?" ”

"What's more, you guys have already gone to Sirius, so why don't you discuss with them before making a decision? Don't tell me you're just afraid of causing him trouble? ”
