The cauldron was bubbling hot, and occasionally a translucent bubble or two floated out of it, swaying to the top of the tent, and then bursting silently.

The air was filled with a slightly pungent smell like the disinfectant water in a Muggle hospital.

"Because I have to prepare a few potions here, Mr. Bornse has given me this place tonight...... Well, the smell is a bit heavy, let's get a wind first! ”

As he spoke, Maca made a move. Suddenly, a fresh night breeze poured in from the entrance of the tent, and it "wandered" around the tent before going out again with the smell of potions.

Suddenly, the air in the room suddenly became refreshing.

"That smell just now...... Is it blackroots? Hermione, who was following behind Maca, recalled the taste just now, and couldn't help but say, "Who has fallen under a spell that is difficult to break and needs you to prepare a potion to relieve the curse?" ”

"Oh, it's a jack-of-all-trades, you know what a potion it is when you smell it." Maca jokingly said, "That's right, someone has fallen under some troublesome curse." But it's nothing - you know, any curse that still has time to brew potions to heal is nothing! ”

Maca is actually telling the truth, because the curse that Bornser received is indeed not incurable, but his identity and responsibility do not allow him to make his injuries public.

"Sit down! I know that you must have a lot of questions in your stomach these days, and if there is anything you want to ask...... Of course, there are some things that you really can't tell you, and if you say it, it will go wrong. ”

As he spoke, he walked over to the fireplace, and then habitually lit the fire and made his tea.

"By the way," as if suddenly it occurred to her, Maca paused as she carried the teapot, "I think you're all confused about Delphi, and have a lot of questions to ask...... Unfortunately, her situation is special. All I can say is that while you're a little unfamiliar with her, she's a friend who knows her best—"

"Ah, this ......," Hermione said when she saw Marca mention of Delphi, "actually, I've already asked her some questions. ”

Of course this maca knows.

He had heard it clearly in the bathroom cubicle when he had gone back in time—he knew that Delphi had deliberately misled Hermione into thinking that he and Delphi were "old friends" since childhood.

But actually, Hermione was right to think so, because Delphi had known Maca "since childhood", hadn't she?

"Well," Maca nodded indifferently at Hermione's offer to talk to Delphi, "she's also someone who knows measure, and since she'll tell you, it means that those things can be made for you to know." ”

"Really?"

Hermione saw that Maca didn't seem to care, and didn't even ask what he and Delphi had said, but her heart was a little more puzzled. It's just that Maca said so, and it doesn't seem convenient for her to ask further.

"Okay...... So, if there are any other questions," she hesitated, "we all saw the black pillar of fire in the centre of the city when we were evacuating from London—is that why you called for an emergency evacuation?" ”

"Did you see that? I thought it was covered by fog, and not many people saw it! Maca stirred the tea in the copper kettle with a wooden spoon and turned her back to Hermione, "You're right, it's because of that...... As I said before, London is very dangerous now, precisely because London is now under a ...... How so? A 'terrible monster' has taken possession. ”

"'Horrible monster'......" Hermione chewed on the description that came out of Maca's mouth, and couldn't help but feel a little incredible, "is it so terrible that the whole city has to give up?" ”

When Maca heard this, she quickly bowed her head slightly:

"Yes...... And that's not all. Actually, if it weren't for the fact that the guy himself couldn't get out of the fog that shrouded London, we'd have had to hide even further away - even I can't do anything about it at the moment. ”

Maca had been in a stalemate with the demon for a long time on two occasions, and finally managed to get out intact, but that didn't mean he was on par with the other party.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that his extreme speed could barely hold on to the demon, the fact that he couldn't hurt the other party and the other party could easily put him to death was enough to illustrate the gap between the two sides.

And on this basis, he is far inferior to the other party in terms of endurance in a protracted battle, which is the most problematic place.

However, such a disappointing judgment of friend and foe, Maca would certainly not say. What's more, if even he loses his confidence, then how can he reassure everyone?

So, just giving the other party a high enough rating to remind Hermione, so that the friends can clearly know that they should be vigilant, this is already the limit of what he can say.

Maca's purpose was achieved.

After learning that there was such a powerful enemy in the city of London at the moment, Hermione, who had only relaxed a little because of tonight's activities, couldn't help but tense up again.

However, the previous relaxation is clearly still necessary. If you hear such a heavy reality again under the already depressing situation, anyone will be unable to bear it.

"Don't worry too much," Maka turned around and smiled at Hermione as she felt the atmosphere gradually become a little solemn, "At least, I fought that 'monster' twice and came back well." That guy is terrifying, but it's not so bad that you have to wait - as long as we can be prepared, it won't have to be invincible! ”

Hermione looked at Maka's eyes full of determination, and unconsciously became infected.

She's not the kind of person who compromises easily. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been until "that incident" happened to Luna that she finally had the idea of giving up competing for maca with the other party.

And now, even if she had learned about the existence of demons from Maca, she could already somewhat foresee that the next days might be even more difficult and cruel. But this coming suffering did not knock her down, but perhaps made her stronger.

Miss Hermione Granger is a witch who never admits defeat.

"Maca, in the past two days, I have prepared some things in my free time...... It's not really done yet, but would you like to take a look at it for me first? ”

"Oh? What do you have in store? ”
