Chapter 778: Give Me Back My Temperance
From the old man's last exhortation, it can be seen that the successive sacrifices of his three subordinates were not in vain.
Obviously, the other side is trying to create a relationship that is bound to be hostile to the two sides, and to disrupt Helbo's vision.
Yes, even Maca doesn't know where that guy is hanging around now, and I don't know if that guy has been reborn again...... This kind of destabilizing behavior will also have the effect it deserves.
“…… Ewen Ravenclaw. ”
After repeating the name in secret, Maca stepped into the fireplace in the magic department hall and hurried away.
Because he thinks that it is best for him to find a place with fresh air to take a walk while it is still dark, and by the way, he can sort out and digest the large amount of information he has obtained today.
……
Almost ten minutes later, Miriam also appeared on the street somewhere in London.
Speaking of which, she was in a somewhat bad mood.
After returning to the old man with He-Man, the old man told them both that the mission had basically failed.
And the reason for the failure was that his conversation with Maca ended in "can't get along". Maca struggles to agree with the fact that they have infiltrated Azkaban, and the old man is unhappy with Maca's interference with his men's actions.
It's just that the breakdown of negotiations is the breakdown of negotiations, and doing it on the spot now is "an outcome that neither side wants". In fact, this is tantamount to implying that once the two fight, I am afraid that they will either lose both, or they will simply die together.
For this statement, Maca's performance at the time was "noncommittal", but this was also a disguised agreement with the old Eun's words.
So in the end, Maca and old Eun left Azkaban first, and let Miriam go to the mansion of the assistant minister, and try to free Comrade Asaph who was still loading potatoes in the field.
"Is that guy really that good? Even the boss can only make a gesture of taking a step back for the time being? ”
Miriam walked briskly forward in the crowd, biting her plump lips lightly, with a somewhat unwilling look on her face.
"No," she unconsciously felt a chill behind her when she thought of the moment when Maca suddenly appeared not far from her side, "No matter how his strength compares to his boss, at least for me, it's unimaginable." ”
In fact, Miriam is a wizard of perception herself, but even when it comes to what she does best, Maca clearly comes out on top.
People should always be self-aware, so that they can live longer, right?
"It's just a pity for them......"
While suddenly remembering the three sacrificed companions, Miriam couldn't help but sigh secretly. Although, these people have long been ready to face death, but death is sad after all.
It wasn't long before she came to the private garden she had entered before. After hurrying through the dense dark greenery, she found that the sunflower in her memory was gone.
But fortunately, there was already a large doorway in the high wall made of vines.
"Asaph."
Miriam's gaze subconsciously passed through the doorway, and at once she saw the big head that stood out on the flat ground, which made her no longer interested in thinking about the doorway and sunflowers.
At this moment, the giant Asaph was still struggling desperately below the ground, his strength seemed to be endless, and he still did not feel tired.
But the rune array left behind by Maka was still working diligently, repairing every trace of the ground that had been arched by Asaph.
Seeing that her childhood friend and colleague was still so alive, Miriam couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
And when she found that the mysterious and strange magic array on the ground flickered blue light from time to time, suppressing the giant Asaph to death, she couldn't help but take a deep breath.
She knew exactly how terrifying Asaph's transformation was! But that Macka McKellen was not only able to control Asaph in a short period of time, but also caught up with her all the way without her knowing it, and followed Azkaban.
After seeing this scene of Asaph, the inexplicable sense of fear in her heart obviously became more profound.
However, this magic array, which looked terrifying, brought a lot of convenience to Miriam at this time.
After all, Asaph's out-of-control transformation was the most serious of them all, and even she, who was specifically responsible for sorting out her mental will, would find it difficult to try to get close to the other party's madness.
At the moment, Asaph can't move at all, which gives Miriam a more relaxed "working environment".
"Asaph."
After a soft call, Miriam slowly walked behind Asaph's head, then leaned down and hugged his giant head loosely.
You can feel that in her arms, Asaph is still struggling. The muscles of her neck contracted and stretched so hard that she could almost make Miriam's whole body crooked.
But Miriam was unmoved, she just closed her eyes and pressed her forehead to the top of Asaph's head, silently clearing her mind of all distractions.
When her mind was completely cleared, Miriam increased her attention and consciously slowly crossed this gentle clarity to Asaph.
If Maca had been present, he might have been able to tell that this was actually a magical principle that was the opposite of Occlumency.
And it, along with the Occlumency of the Brain, is also something derived from the Receptive Mind Technique.
Under Miriam's reassurance, the giant Asaph finally settled down, and as he stopped struggling, his swollen body soon began to return to its normal form.
However, with his shrinking size, the ground also closed up, and it remained in a state of close harmony with his skin from beginning to end.
"Asaph."
This was the third time that Miriam had called him, and this time, he had finally slowly raised his head to see Miriam's most familiar face.
“…… Millie. ”
"Don't call me that," Miriam saw that he had finally regained his normal senses, and suddenly let go of the other party's head, "It's still on a mission, understand?" ”
"Okay...... Asaph's eyes blinked, and then he said with a confused expression, "I...... What's going on? I'm alive? No...... How did I get buried underground? ”
As he spoke, he exerted his strength again, but found that his body could not move even a minute and a half.
"This ...... Do I really only have one head left? ”
Seeing this, Miriam couldn't help but chuckle and shook her head.
"Don't toss," she said casually, looking in the direction of the mansion, "your body is still there, but you won't be able to get out for a while...... You didn't have a problem in giant form just now, let alone now! ”
"That'...... Was it that Macka McKellen who did it? Asaph squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Go away!" Why are you still here when you're still on a mission? Leave me alone—"
"Shut up and rest!" Miriam said impatiently, "I'm on a mission, but my mission now is to sit here and wait for you to come out......"
At this point, she paused for a moment, and then explained: "I've already met the boss, and this mission ended in complete failure, and both sides took a step back - this is the result of the boss talking to that McLean himself." ”
"That is to say......" Asaph frowned as he listened.
"We give up robbing, give up getting more astrology out of that bald mouth, and retreat temporarily." Miriam sighed, "Then, I'll come to you and wait for this magic array on the ground to fail—that McLean said it wouldn't last long." ”
"It's a ......"
Asaph shook his head with mixed feelings, and gritted his teeth again, but his body remained as if he had become one with the earth.
"Damn it!"
"It's good that you're alive." Miriam finally dropped the sentence and said no more.
Not far away, in some of the windows of the mansion, several people were looking at this side from a distance. But perhaps they were instructed not to act rashly, but they all watched the vision here silently, and no one approached at will.
……
Perhaps because the busy days are often long, and once it's time to get off work or school, the sunset process is often a little faster than people think.
When Maca had a casual drink of two drinks at the Leaky Cauldron Bar in Diagon Alley, she came out to find that it was completely dark.
"Uh-huh......" He took a deep breath of the cool breath of the night, and then nodded to himself, "Go back!" ”
It didn't take long for Maca to find a no-man's corner, and in a flash of surprise, she was back in front of the gates of Hogwarts. But as soon as he appeared, a faint cry came from his ears.
"Ahh
"It's night—"
"The sky—the earth—the lake—the forest—"
"Little grass, I'm running so fast—"
"I'm going to die," Maca's face changed as she listened to the faint sound behind her ears, "that fake sunflower can't be high until now, right?" With my image? ”
Thinking like this, he suddenly slapped his forehead hard, and suddenly felt that something was missing in his soul.
"I'm afraid I'm going to run out of all the discipline I've accumulated with all my hard work, right?" Maca said with a look of indignation, "And it's still in the sunset!" ”
After a moment of annoyance, he hurried back and wanted to get the broken grass back at once. But at the moment of turning, an inconspicuous glimmer of light swept through his field of vision.
Noticing this, Maca turned around and looked in the direction of the castle.
"The library again?"
