Maca sends a letter to Lupin and asks them to consider whether they want to get a job at the Ministry of Magic or something. In terms of their abilities alone, being an Auror is naturally a matter of handy.

As for Maca herself, she left the castle after delivering the letter and headed in the direction of the Forbidden Forest.

Helbo's repeated activity forced him to continue to speed up his research on the Bewitching Monument. In the case that he was unable to touch the Devouring Mirror at the moment, he could only figure out the giant tablet of the same level first.

Although, this seems to coincide with Royna's test.

At the same time, two figures were cautiously fleeing somewhere more than 2,500 miles from Britain.

Beersheba, Israel, is an earthy yellow city. Probably due to its proximity, it is somewhat similar to the Iran that Maca has been to before.

Miriam, who grew up here.

At this moment, she had just appeared from the apparition in London, England. Despite being such a burden as Asaph, with enough familiarity and good spell-casting skills, her movements did not shift too much.

Looking at the city that made her feel so delighted, Miriam, who was leaning against the outer wall of an apartment building, couldn't help but purse her lips.

She was first brought with Asaph to Athens, Greece, a branch of the Order.

After they had both been trained in the branch in Athens, Asaph stayed there to begin his mission, while she was taken back to headquarters by Grace Sr.

There are so many memories for her.

It's just that she came back this time under tremendous pressure. After all, returning to the Order without completing the mission would be her betrayal of Grandpa Raven.

As a dead soldier who is willing to abandon everything, she should not come back even if she encounters more sacrifices.

What's more, no one knows if her trip was discovered by the man named Helbo...... No, Asaph still had to be saved, she couldn't watch her childhood friend die so inexplicably.

Miriam looked up at the blue sky, and immediately stopped dwelling on the decision - now that they had all returned, even if they had hesitated all night, it was time to move forward.

I saw her wave her wand, and both herself and Asaph, who was still unconscious, disappeared, and then used the levitation charm to carry the other party on the northbound journey.

For a good wizard, the traces of apparition are all too obvious. For the rest of the journey, she needs to walk on her own legs.

Before long, leaving the city was a vast expanse of wilderness, and apart from the modest roads, all that was left was an endless open space.

And farther afield, there is the desert.

Here, even the rising sun is just as scorching, and the sand that cools down at night rebuilds heat with the arrival of the day.

Of course, at this point in time, it is cooler than noon.

Miriam walked slowly with Asaph in the vast desert, the effect of the illusion spell keeping her out of direct sunlight, but unable to keep the temperature behind her.

Beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, sliding down as she walked, dripping silently onto her chest. In this regard, she did not dare to use a spell to dispel the heat for herself, lest she leave more clues for the enemy.

In fact, she didn't even want to use the Illusion Charm, because although the traces of this kind of magic dissipated quickly, there was no guarantee that it would not be discovered.

But right now, she is still operating in the Muggle world, and if she doesn't want people to see Asaph floating out of thin air, then she will have to carry Asaph on her back!

Suddenly, Miriam, who was hurrying forward, turned back and glanced at Asaph.

"Don't worry, Grandpa Laven will definitely cure you! I've never seen anything else that could be hard to stop him except death! As for the punishment, I will bear it alone! ”

There was a rustle under my feet, the sound of sand rubbing against each other. The sand on the edge of the desert is much rougher than the fine sand on the beach, and it can always be a little irritating to listen to too much.

Miriam turned back and looked farther ahead, as if judging the distance traveled by her past experience.

From time to time, she would look around again - in all directions, which was by no means a favorable environment for the usual stalker.

After about two or three hours, as the sun hung obliquely high in the sky, Miriam unwittingly came to an unremarkable sand dune.

The temperature is constantly rising, and in the distance, there is even a slight distortion on the horizon.

Fortunately, she seems to have arrived at the place.

But I saw Miriam raise the wand that had not been put away again, and gently swiped it to the side a few times, as if she was looking for something.

Suddenly, she swung down, and then saw the sand in front of her begin to swell violently.

Seeing this, Miriam immediately waved her wand and stepped onto the unstable ground with Asaph. And in the next moment, both of them sank into the ground, and there was no trace of them.

After a while, the sand calmed down again, as if nothing had happened.

……

When Miriam opened her eyes again, she was in a beautiful hall.

Here, you can see the huge pillars carved out of sandstone on both sides, a heavy tapestry carpet on the flat floor, and brightly colored frescoes on the walls on either side.

In the innermost part of the hall, instead of a fresco, a large pattern is painted on the wall.

It was the silhouette of a raven with a hexagram as the background.

Miriam had also speculated that Raven might be the image of Grandpa Raven; The six-pointed star array behind it may symbolize the country (1).

As for the meaning of the combination of the two, probably no one knows except Grandpa Raven.

In front of the wall was an English table that somewhat resembled the House Bench at Hogwarts, from a faraway land, but blending perfectly into the hall.

Grandpa Ravan once said that the long table he had brought back from England a long time ago, and that it meant a lot to him.

Only now, there is no one at that table.

"It's not time for lunch yet, so you should still be behind, right? And Grandpa Raven...... I must have been studying the knowledge of magical biology in the study again. ”

Miriam couldn't help but hook the corners of her mouth when she thought about it, but her eyes that gradually brightened quickly dimmed again.

Shaking his head, he swept the anxiety in his heart to a corner of his heart once again. She lifted her legs to walk past the long table, and after a hurried glance to her seat, she walked straight through the doorway in the inner wall and went deeper.

Since this is underground, the magic torches on the walls are always flickering, illuminating the place as bright as day. Occasionally, a gust or two of wind would blow through the corridors, bringing a touch of coolness to those walking inside, and it was not known where the wind came from.

Miriam kept walking, but the more she walked, the more strange it became, until she frowned at the same time.

No one, no one anywhere!

This is the headquarters of the organization, and although many of its companions usually live in the city, there are always people left behind here. It's the first time I've encountered a situation like today, which no one can see.

What's going on?

While her heart was in a state of panic, her steps became faster and faster. I saw her turning left and right in the corridors, passing through several large and small halls and rooms, but she was always greeted by a dead silence without people.

Her expression began to become agitated.

Finally, when she silently opened the door of the study, which she knew so well, the sight of the still empty scene made her feet soften, and she sat down on the floor of the corridor in a daze.

How so? Even Grandpa Ravan isn't here? Where did everyone go?

During a trip to the British wizarding world, Miriam saw a lot of people and things, and also touched her own memories that have long been buried deep in her heart.

But she never thought that everything seemed to completely change her life so far.

Even when she eventually returned here, no one came to greet her and greet her with a smile.

"We ...... Abandoned? ”

Suddenly, Miriam turned her head and looked at Asaph beside her. It's a pity that the only partner who is by her side now can't open her eyes and respond to her questions.

When she landed, some indescribable emotion welled up in her heart and stained her eyes red.

However, at this moment, a leisurely sneer pierced the silence around her, and passed through Miriam's ears like thunder.

"Hmph...... Abandoned '?'? The voice sneered, "Aren't you all outcasts destined to be abandoned?" ”

It really doesn't seem like a man who is willing to be groomed to be a dead soldier should not ask such a question. But when someone sneered at this, Miriam still felt a heartfelt unwillingness.

"Despicable Helbo," she said in a deep voice without looking back, "he's right, you're with you......"

Behind Miriam, Helbo, who had just shown his form, immediately raised an eyebrow.

"'He'? Well, you mean that McLean? With a slight bow, he chuckled, "Why, you've been reminded, but you still dare to come here?" Why don't you ask him more? If the young man had relented, wouldn't you have been able to take refuge from him? ”

As Helbo snorted, his gaze kept scanning in private, and his magic sense extended to the maximum. Obviously, he was also worried that this might be a trap designed against him.

After all, no matter how you say it, the situation that this person doesn't have is too suspicious. ()
