Eventually, Maca spent the night alone in the cavern beneath the Hufflepuff chamber against the crate.

It wasn't until the eastern sky was covered with a layer of fish-bellied white, and the owl Marfa above the ruins of the castle issued a terrible warning that he put away the mysterious stone box that had not been opened after all, and returned to the ground.

"Huh?"

Marfa's tweet just now was naturally not a blind call, and Maca swept around, and soon noticed some figures looming on a hillside outside the school's area.

Seeing this, Maca immediately whistled into the air, and then pointed in the direction of the Forbidden Forest. The owl Marfa, who was still hovering in the air, heard the sound and flew straight into the depths of the Forbidden Forest without looking back, and disappeared in a short time.

It was only at this moment that Maca lifted her toes and tapped the ground, and then flew up and met the group of figures that were approaching this way.

When the two sides got closer, Maca realized that it was actually a group of centaurs!

"Are you...... Ferenze? ”

As for the centaurs who lived in the Forbidden Forest in the past, Maca had come into contact with them several times, but she didn't really remember them well. The only one who was more impressed, Ferenze, could only tell it by the other party's creamy coat color.

After all, in the eyes of humans, centaurs actually look a little similar.

"Lord McLean!"

When the group of centaurs stopped in front of the school gate one after another, Ferenze stepped forward again and said:

"It's good to see you're still safe and sound...... But to be honest, we have to say sorry to you, the horror of doom kept our people instinctively out of the quagmire, and failed to bring the slightest help in the most critical moment. ”

The centaurs are arrogant by nature, but in fact they are extremely timid, and their talent for divination and foreknowledge makes them fear their destiny and avoid evil.

Maca is naturally very clear about this.

And even if the centaurs were willing to help, Maca didn't know what to do for them. With the current combat ability of the centaurs, it is estimated that it is not even meaningful to the most ordinary dark wizard.

"Ferenze, there's no need to apologize...... Well, speaking of which, what are your plans for this trip? Ready to go back to the Forbidden Forest? ”

"Oh no, we just saw Calamity fall on Hogwarts last night, so we planned to come over this morning to see if there were any injured people in need of help...... This is probably the only thing we can do under this terrible disaster. ”

Ferenze tried to express his friendly heart, and Maca could still feel it, after all, they didn't have to come here in the first place.

Even since Maca had been with each other's previous generation "Davros...... That is, their old patriarch also had a little promise that if the centaurs were in danger in the future, Maca might have to help them in turn.

"Thank you for your kindness, but there are no injuries here - I had already arranged for all the teachers and students to leave the school before the disaster."

"That's great!" Ferenze nodded suddenly, "The arrival of evil has disturbed the brilliance of the stars, and in the past two months, our clan's ability to know the destiny of heaven has been greatly affected, and many things have ...... I don't know where the future holds. ”

"That sounds terrible," Maka shrugged, "in that case, you might as well go back!" Stay as far away as possible, I think something bad will happen at Hogwarts. ”

When Ferenze heard this, he couldn't help but pause, and then couldn't help but bow to Maka.

"I beg your pardon."

Forgive the centaurs for their cowardice? Maca shook her head - in this disaster, those who fought bravely are certainly worthy of admiration, but seeking good fortune and avoiding evil do not necessarily mean being despised. Either way, the part that survives in the end is qualified to evaluate right and wrong.

Maca looked at the centaurs in front of her and turned away one after another with a heavy face, only looking at their silent backs, without expressing any of her opinions.

Until the last one to turn his head back, Ferenze paused slightly, looked back at Maca and added:

"Davros said, if you have time, please take a trip to our new tribal territory - he has something to give back to you."

"'Return' to me?"

Maca was stunned, but didn't stop them for further questioning. Because he knows the temper of the centaurs, they will naturally say what they need to say, and it is useless to ask no matter how much they don't want to say it.

Looking at the hillside as they gradually turned over, it was soon completely out of her view, and Maca looked back at the ruins of the castle behind her, and then disappeared from the spot.

No way, a building like Hogwarts Castle with a lot of magic attached to it can't be easily restored with a repair charm.

Even today's Maca does not restore her self-confidence.

……

Naturally, the situation in France was much better than the tragic scenes in England.

So when Maca appeared on the streets near Blois Castle, the ruins of Hogwarts that still remained in her mind suddenly contrasted sharply with the scene in front of her, which even made Maca's mood a little lower again.

"Are you alright, sir? You don't look like you're feeling well? ”

A kind Muggle lady who passed by asked kindly, and although Maca could now understand some French, she didn't speak much of it, so she could only squeeze out a slight smile and shake her head.

Then, after bidding farewell to the kind lady, he walked briskly to the entrance to Fort Blois, which was not far away.

Not long after, after passing through the magical boundary hidden in the staircase, he saw that the old butler of the Blois family was already waiting for him at the door with a group of friends and family servants.

"Oh! Maca—"

Hermione, who was standing in the front, had no time to say hello when she saw a figure leap out of the old butler's side and rush into Maca's arms.

"Maka, are you okay? Father always wouldn't let anyone tell me about you, and it wasn't until yesterday that everyone came that I realized that you were in so much danger! Oh, I should have snuck out of the house if I knew I could, even if it was a small favor......"

Just looking at the flowing silver hair, Maca didn't even need to look at the other party's face to know that it must be Willy who rushed to her.

Although, the cold girl who could only jump out one word after another as if she was talking like squeezing toothpaste, now it seems to have become a chatter.

"Good morning, Willy...... Good morning, everyone. Maca said with a calm smile.
