When Maca discovers that the so-called "cultists" have not been freed from their controlled state because of the witch's fainting, a possibility flashes through his mind.

"That's not right!"

I heard him whisper to himself:

"Is the real controller of the 'cult' through that magical ritual really Helbo himself? Wouldn't Parkinson's and that Ilully be ...... in that case?"

Obviously, if the people who controlled these ordinary wizards were just Helmo's apprentices, even if Pansy hadn't ruled out the influence of magical rituals, nothing would have happened.

After all, Martin didn't have the time to get involved in the attack on London.

But if Helmault himself is the one who controls the congregation, even if Martin doesn't get involved, Pansy seems to be in control.

Perhaps, she has become in a similar state to the wizards around her.

However, the thought that Pansy seemed to be with the trench-coated wizard right now made it seem that at least the problem wasn't too big.

Truth be told, for Pansy Parkinson, a Slytherin girl, Maca now hopes that she can have a decent future. Because no matter what, she has also been constantly transforming during this time, and it has become enough to give people a new feeling.

"Well, I hope she's okay!"

As he thought so, suddenly, without warning, he reached out his staff and landed it directly at the neck of the witch who had just fainted in front of him.

"If I were you, I wouldn't have taken even half a step further," Maca said calmly, "remembering that she mentioned that she had a younger sister...... I thought, that's you, right? ”

As soon as the words fell, he saw that the Maca staff did not move, and his other hand suddenly waved.

"Bang-"

With an explosion, a particle of light exploded in front of him—needless to say, it was the collapse of the magic caused by the spell that had blocked him.

And in just a few seconds, the figure in Maca's perception decisively gave up the idea of saving people, and quickly turned around and ran to the other side of the street.

Maca didn't move, but listened to him say aloud:

"Aren't you worried that I'm going to kill her?"

But even if he said this, the other party did not stop at all and gave up on escaping, and he didn't even look back and said:

"You won't-"

Maca was stunned in place, and finally couldn't help but smile wryly and shook her head.

"How many times have I felt more like a dark wizard?" He thought to himself, "And a dark wizard who is always thought to be soft-hearted......"

Thinking about it like this, I saw that he flicked his sleeves casually and summoned a group of alienated eight-eyed giant spiders.

"Put these people in a place where no one is around, especially this witch, if you are not honest, you will be petrified first—I'll be there in a moment."

As soon as she finished speaking, Maca didn't stay any longer, stepped on the magic book and accelerated in the direction that the invisible man had left.

……

If there is anyone who can get away from the chase of Maca, there are obviously people. Let's not mention the old guy Helmaugh, let's just say that Willy's father, the lord of Bloisburg, is really not low.

And in this world, no one can say how many low-key strong people exist, after all, those who have great abilities usually have a somewhat eccentric temper, and it is not a big deal to be withdrawn.

It's a pity that the girl who is hiding in front of Maca and trying to flee is obviously not among the people mentioned above.

Of course, in this chase time of less than five minutes at most, Maca also had to admit that she was indeed a wizard who was quite good at escaping.

Just looking at her illusion charm that can be maintained at high speed, and her mastery of being able to complete the transformation of the Animagus while remaining invisible, it is worthy of admiration.

But it's a pity that admiration is admiration, and Maca won't let her go because of a little appreciation. Even if he bumped into the two sisters, it was only a small accident after all, and he might be able to get some useful information from them by bringing them back.

After following the other party into an alley on the side of the street, Maca suddenly accelerated in the narrow alleyway and rushed to the other party's side.

The other party obviously didn't expect him to come with such a hand, and he was caught off guard and was caught in his hand by Maca's stretched arm.

The next moment, I saw that the opponent's illusion spell was completely lifted as it touched the body, revealing the appearance of the Animagus form.

It was a black Turkish Angora cat, with no variegation in its long hair. Now that she was caught in her hand, she saw that her blue and gold eyes stared at Maca for a moment, and she did not change back into human form or try to break free.

It was the first time she had been caught so quickly, and neither the invisibility nor the Animagus transformation had given her any advantage, and she knew there was no way she could escape.

"Don't you want to say something?"

Although Maca asked, she didn't mean to ask her to lift the transformation. It would have been more convenient for him to take it away like that.

After a few casual glances at her, he quickly began to walk back with her.

But at this moment, the other party suddenly struggled lightly in Maca's hand a few times, and seemed to have the idea of speaking again.

Seeing this, Maca was not worried that she would try to escape from her side again, so she let go and let her fall to the ground.

"What's wrong?"

After a moment's pause, Maca watched as she gradually recovered from her cat form, and finally transformed into a girl dressed in the same fashion as her sister.

Well, if I have to say, her clothes are darker and not as bright as her sister's.

"Mr. McLean......"

Soon, I saw her standing in front of Maca, and said in a slightly low voice:

"Can you let my sister go? If you had to catch one, I think I'd be a better fit than her. ”

"Huh?" Maca raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why?" ”

Hearing Marka ask, she immediately continued:

"Don't you just want to get some news about Helbo from us? My sister can be said to know almost nothing about this - she will only follow orders and do things. However, I drew some conjectures from Helbo's words. ”

"Really?" Maca looked her in the eye and said calmly, "But you don't seem to be Helbo's apprentice, do you?" ”

"Yes, I really wasn't—Helmo only took my sister. As for me, since I didn't show any of my strengths, Helpo didn't take any interest in me......"

The maiden was a little surprised that Maca knew this, but this did not make her give up on talking, and she was able to say:

“…… However, whenever my sister went to contact Helpo, I was usually around and listened. ”

"I see," Maka nodded, but just when the girl thought he was going to say yes, he shrugged his shoulders again, "Then before you can tell me your 'conjecture', why do you have to let one go when I can catch you both at the same time?" I believe that with just two drops of the truth elixir, you will still tell me everything honestly, even if you don't want to. ”

"Hmmm......"

Maca's words made her a little speechless for a while, but she finally whispered:

"So, it's just a request of mine. If you don't accept it, Mr. McLean, there's nothing I can do...... It's like I can't escape from you even if I try my best. ”

"Yes, that's the way it is," said Maca, beckoning her to continue walking back, "but to be honest, I don't really care if you stay or not...... Tell me everything I want to know, and then let me think about how to undo Helbo's grip on your sister......"

"As I think you know, Helmo has left something behind in each of his 'apprentices'—just like your sister did to the 'cultists'."

At this, Maca suddenly turned her head and glanced at her.

"I can tell that your sister is not willing to follow Helbo, at least you are not willing to follow Helbo. Otherwise, with your ability, although you seem to be worse than your sister in terms of talent, you are stronger than her in terms of strength. And once this ability is demonstrated, there is obviously no reason why Helmo should not accept you as an apprentice. ”

Hearing Maca say this, she couldn't help but be silent for a moment before nodding silently in affirmation.

"I see," she said, "though I'm not sure...... Because my sister has always been more assertive than me, she usually doesn't listen to my advice. However, I will try to convince her to give up her unrealistic fantasies......"

……

Moments later, Maca returned to the door of the Leaky Cauldron with a witch about his age. But apparently, there was no one in it.

When Dermaca opened the door of the bar casually, walked in and looked left and right, the magic fluctuations in the backyard that faintly came through the fog immediately caught his attention.

It was true that the fog had a severe effect on perception, but not so much that it had made him almost lose the ability to sense like Luna. Just like the girl next to him approached incognitoly before, he was quickly aware of it.

And when the two of them walked quickly to the backyard of the Leaky Cauldron, the irreparable magic wall, and the familiar magic fluctuations belonging to Sirius behind the wall, suddenly made Maca slightly unguard and walked over.

"Sirius, were you thrown here by Kingsley to guard the streets?"

"Oh, yes! I guess I have to stay until the evening to change shifts......"

It can be seen that the other party did not seem to be very surprised when he found out that he had come here.

"Where's Kingsley?" He then asked, somewhat confused, "Didn't he go to Hogwarts to find you?" Didn't come with you at this time? And also...... Who is this young lady? ”
