Chapter 1661: An Invitation from London

"Mr. McLean, the fog that covers most of Kent is moving again!"

When Maca didn't know whether the news that the old butler had brought him this time was good or bad, he heard the other party stand directly at the door and say this heart-wrenching latest information.

To be honest, Maca was still very surprised by this. After all, he had only just learned from Ens about Helbo's intention to try a truce, although he hadn't been able to confirm it until now, but there was some credibility in Helbo's intentions.

However, when Maca saw that the old butler didn't seem to show too much urgency after saying the news. He realized that things might not be as simple as he had just said.

Sure enough, after a short pause, the old butler immediately continued:

"But...... To be honest, even my host wasn't sure if it was 'bad news' or not. Because, the direction of movement of the fog ...... It's London. ”

The fog is returning, returning the way it came!

Although the gray fog is no longer the fog that first enveloped London, it is not only much larger than it was at the beginning, but also much thicker.

However, it was now sweeping back along the path of the London Grey Mist, and it was said to be quite fast.

More crucially, the original route from London to Canterbury was cleared by both wizards and Muggle armies such as Maca, and the inhabitants of several towns had already been evacuated. Coupled with the fact that London is currently a completely empty city, this fog may not affect even a single innocent person during the movement.

"Mr. McLean," said the old butler, looking at Maca after he had finished conveying the news, "the head of the house is very concerned about the new situation this time, so he asked me to come over as soon as possible and convey the news directly to you." Before he arrived in London, he wanted to hear what you had to say. ”

However, after hearing the old butler's words, Maca did not speak immediately. He just stood in front of the old butler and pondered for a moment, and then frowned slightly and said:

"I'm afraid...... That guy is 'inviting' me over! ”

Yes, Maca thought about it for a while, and thought that maybe this was actually a somewhat special "personal invitation" made by Helpo to him.

For example, the movement of the fog is actually equivalent to announcing the return of Helbo, who was once missing; And the fact that the fog drifted all the way back to London is probably a hint that Helbo is waiting for Maca to go in London.

After Takmaka thought again, he nodded at the old butler.

"I know about it, huh...... Mr. Butler, go and talk to Mr. Blois first! Let's just say that the monitoring of the fog's movement path can continue to see if it really stops in London at the end. Other than that, for the time being, there is no need to do anything, including daily patrols and explorations in the fog. ”

As she was talking, Maca suddenly spread her hands again, and then added:

"After that, whether the fog actually stops in London or makes a turn on the way or something, I'll go there myself."

Before the words fell, the old butler suddenly owed a slight debt to Maca.

"Okay, I'll go and talk to the head of the house."

Seeing the old butler hurry out of the tower again, Maca pondered the news she had just heard, and then turned back to the sofa in the middle of the living room and sat down.

And at this moment, Maca, who was pondering, suddenly turned her head and glanced at Alexander, who had been standing honestly on the side since just now.

"Oh, is there anything else?"

"Uh, no...... It's okay," Alexander shook his head again and again, "Professor, I just saw that you had been thinking about something, so I didn't dare to speak casually." ”

"Really?" Maca nodded, "Don't worry about that!" Oh yes, you've just been to see Earns, how do you feel about him at the moment? ”

"Anns......" Alexander hesitated for a moment after hearing Maca's question, and then said while thinking, "How can you say it?" Professor, I'm sure you know that he's always been a bit of a stubborn person. Don't look at him with a long face all day long, as if everyone else owes him gold gallons, but his heart is actually quite sensitive and soft. ”

Maca couldn't help but nod slightly when she heard Alexander say this.

"You should come back to him in the afternoon, right?" He said to the other party, "Don't worry about anything, you can just come over in a while, I may not be here then, you can do your own thing, I won't lock the door." ”

"Oh! Okay, Professor! ”

"Alright, let's get ready, it's almost lunchtime."

After sending Alexander away, Maca took out the letter she had intended for Ens to deliver to Helbo from her pocket, and burned it with a fire.

Since Helbo gave a hint of an invitation, the letter was of little use, was it?

Although...... This "invitation" from London is somewhat suspicious.

……

For today's lunch, although the various meals are still very delicious, Maca still didn't spend too much time tasting the food. After filling his stomach in a hurry, he said hello to Hermione, Luna, and the rest of his friends, and then came back directly from the restaurant.

Then, he just drank a cup of tea in the living room and brought the lunch he had brought to Ens himself, before going back to the room on the top floor of the tower.

Since Maca hadn't taken back the rune cards here before, as soon as she entered the room at this time, she was suddenly wrapped in the faint blue light that rippled in front of her again.

At the moment, what Maca was thinking about was actually very simple, he wanted to study the method of extracting the soul fragments from the Horcrux as much as possible before going to London to meet with Helbo.

"Bang!"

The Devouring Mirror was placed back in the center of the room as before, and Maca herself sat cross-legged in front of the Ancient Mirror, as she had done before.

In the mirror, there is still chaos, and it is so hazy that people can't see it clearly.

And maybe it's because Maca has begun to stare at the mirror again to take a closer look, but the mirror image that appeared by chance not long ago has never reappeared this time.

In this way, Maca's day can be said to have basically been spent in front of the Devouring Mirror. It wasn't until late evening that he interrupted his studies because of Delphi, who had quietly appeared outside the door downstairs, and put away the mirror and went downstairs.
