Chapter 1193: A Precursor to a Nightmare

"Mr. McLean, I do have a very important thing to tell you, I don't know...... Can you please come in the car and talk? ”

"Huh?"

Although because of Charlotte, Maca was not wary of this Mr. Normanwaiter. But the other party has always been from the Werther family, and under the clamping and interference of the old master who obviously always has some bad intentions, Maca feels that she still needs to maintain a certain vigilance.

Of course, it was not him who was worried, but Hermione, Luna, and the others who were standing behind him at the moment, looking at the carriage with curiosity.

"Mr. Werther, I suppose you might choose to say it directly?"

"Oh, this"

When Norman heard this, he couldn't help but think about it with hesitation. And perhaps because he noticed Maca's resoluteness and tone, he finally nodded a little helplessly.

The next moment, I saw him turn around a little, and said to the old steward inside:

"You can drive around the neighborhood first! After a while, you'll come here again to pick me up. ”

With that, Norman jumped out of the carriage and walked briskly in front of Maka.

"Mr. McLean, this is really not the place to talk, and I must not be seen by Helpo's wizards."

When Maca heard him say this, she bowed her head slightly:

"I can understand, I've already met people from your family before, presumably ...... Your Werther family must have encountered some unexpected circumstances...... Come this way! ”

As he spoke, he beckoned the other party to walk into the alley on the side of the road. When he passed the outer wall of a house in the alley, he casually stretched out his staff and tapped lightly on the wall, and the brick wall suddenly trembled slightly and began to deform, revealing a doorway for people to enter.

And after all six people, including Norman, walked in, the door that had just been transformed by Transfiguration quickly closed automatically.

Right now, Maca was standing in the corner of the living room of this house, subconsciously looking up at the ceiling slightly. Obviously, he was sensing that there was no one upstairs.

As for the living room, which was not very big, it was clear that it was empty from before he chose this house.

"Looks like there's no one upstairs," Maka said after a pause, "Well, the Muggles probably thought the fog was too weird, so they left London early?" ”

Judging from what Maca heard from Sirius, there were actually not many Muggle families who left London this time. Otherwise, there would be no traffic jams on the roads outside.

After saying a casual word, Maca walked directly to the side of the sofa and sat down, the sofa was obviously a little hard, but no matter how you say it, it is better than standing and talking.

"Sit down, Mr. Werther! I'm sure the Muggles wouldn't care if someone came to sit on their couch and back chairs...... Of course, the fact that you are uninvited may make them a little unhappy! ”

Norman, however, doesn't seem to have much of a sense of Maca's soothing quips.

In fact, he has already been in a mess in his heart now, and it is only because of his calm personality and good cultivation since childhood that he has never shown too much impatience.

When Hermione and the others also looked for a place to sit down in confusion, Maca saw that Charlotte's father didn't mean to find a chair for herself, and stood directly in the middle of the living room and said:

"Mr. McLean, you just said you met someone from our family? Well, maybe they've caused you some unpleasantness, but...... To be honest, this time they actually couldn't help themselves. ”

"Of course, that's what I want to tell you...... No, it's the news that my father wants me to relay to you, so to speak, it doesn't matter much. ”

"Really?"

Maca didn't know what this Norman was trying to say, but she could see that the other party seemed to have a rather complicated emotion in her heart.

It seemed like a vague fear, but there might be a slight hesitation mixed in with it.

"Yes," said Norman, after a pause, before continuing, "I think you are all bewildered by the fog that has permeated the whole of London. Well, I was just as puzzled as you at first, even if the wizards who claimed to be Helbo's 'apprentices' came to the family and explained that the mist was from Helbo himself, we also didn't know where it came from and what it did......"

"Didn't those guys say that?" Maca raised an eyebrow.

"Didn't say it...... Maybe even they don't know," said Norman, shaking his head, "but after that, my father, who hadn't spoken to me for a long time, suddenly called me over. And it was from his mouth that I learned what this strange and undispellable fog meant! ”

Hearing this, Maca suddenly had a bad premonition, and he thought that he might have guessed what Norman would say next.

Just, is that possible? No, he felt like he must be overthinking.

But in the next moment, Maca heard Norman say:

“…… McLean, I think you remember our family's most important inheritance spellbook, Abbateel. When Helbo first came to our Werther family, it was for the whole set of ancient scrolls. It was only because the scrolls in our family's possession were incomplete, especially the most critical summoning volume, that Helbo only left after getting the clue in the end. ”

Obviously, Norman wasn't right here. And this is probably only because his father tried to conceal that he had tried to get some benefits from Helbo, so he did not tell him all the twists and turns in between.

But when Maca heard Norman's next sentence, he felt that the so-called "truth" that passed by might not really be that important.

I only heard the other party and then said in a deep voice:

"However, my father told me that Helbo might have collected all of Abathal! Because from his father's knowledge of "Abateel", he believes that these fogs are most likely the harbingers of demonic summoning! ”

After a moment of silence, even Maca took a deep breath for his last words, and then slowly suppressed the tremor in his heart.

After staring at Norman wordlessly for a moment, he slowly shook his head.

"It can't be."

……

Maca and the others had to leave the Muggle house before Norman.

As the other party said, although the old master of the Witt family was not willing to follow Helbo now, he did not dare to disobey the latter's orders. Therefore, Norman was secretly instructed by his father to come to communicate with Maca, which must not be discovered by Helbo's men.

And before Maca left, Norman also relayed to him the old master's intention to cooperate. Judging from Norman's meaning, the old master of Nawit seems to be a little unwilling.

After all, the ancient magic book "Abathel" was originally the inheritance of their Werther family, and it was only because of the betrayal of the people in the family that the ancient books leaked out.

And not long ago, the old Werther thought that the family's inheritance could finally be brought back to whole. But who knew that suddenly an ancient wizard Helbo came to intervene and forcibly snatched away the remaining part of the family.

Now, seeing that Helmo is very likely to have collected the entire book of "Abatel", it is good that old Werther can not be angry and return to the west on the spot.

However, although Maca had already deduced so much from what Norman had said, he still couldn't believe that the fog was a precursor to the "Demon Summoning".

You know, the man who was in possession of the last part of the Abatheel summoning scroll had destroyed his soul in front of him.

What the other party did was not to let Helbo forcibly flip through his memories and obtain any information that the other party wanted.

Could it be that the self-sacrifice of old Ewen at that time was meaningless at all? Because Helmo had already gotten those last few pages long before his soul died?

Indeed, if this is the case, it seems that Helbo's wandering movements after that can be explained by the fact that he was obviously making a lot of complicated preparations to complete the summoning ritual.

"Maca, that was Charlotte's father just now?"

Hermione followed him closely, at first reluctant to disturb him because of his contemplative expression, but after a while, she couldn't help but whisper:

"And ...... What he called 'Demon Summoning'...... What is it? ”

"yes!" When Ron saw Hermione speak, he immediately couldn't help but say, "Is there really a creature like 'demons' in this world?" Isn't that a magical creature created by Muggles in legends? ”

"Huh?"

Hearing their questioning, Maca shook her head.

"Maybe there is! As far as I know, ancient summoning techniques are divided into two categories: 'spirit summoning' and 'demon summoning'...... But I don't know what kind of existence the so-called 'demon' is. ”

Perhaps, it is not what everyone thinks, and even the concept may be completely different. It's a pity that maybe only the ancient wizard of Helbo knows.

"Anyway," Maca said with a wry smile and a frown, "all we can be sure of now is that it won't be a good thing!" ”

To be honest, Maca suddenly felt a little powerless right now. Because he found that if what Norman said was true, then he didn't seem to know what to do now.

He really didn't know anything about that "demon summoning technique".

And just as Maca wrinkled her brows and paced forward with Hermione, Luna and the other four, before she knew it, the entrance to St. Mungo's was already close in front of her.
