Helbo's life is indeed long enough, and it would not be a pity for him to squander it.

But for a true wizard, every minute counts. He'd wasted a thousand years of time underground, and that alone was enough to make him want to watch time pass meaninglessly anymore.

Therefore, the words he said to Asaph just now were not purely for fun, but really wanted to take advantage of the other party.

Yes, even if he could get from Asaph, he would only find Miria faster.

"I hate waiting."

In the warehouse where Miriam and the others had entered, Helmo was sitting on a wooden crate with his eyes slightly closed, his expression looking rather unhappy.

And at a pillar not far from him, Asaph just stood silent, his head bowed and his face buried in the shadows.

He had already told Helmo that this was the place where he and Miriam had an urgent meeting. Whoever came out of the Werther mansion first, and did not meet the other, had to come here and wait for the meeting.

But......

Miriam and Marian were supposed to go to the Werther family before him, but why haven't they come back yet? Asaph had expected that they would be able to see each other as soon as they arrived.

He even thought about what he would do when Helpo met Miriam.

Don't...... What happened to Miriam on the way back? Is it the big explosion outside that hasn't stopped until now?

"I hate waiting!"

Helbo spoke again, and although the words were still the same, the dissatisfaction contained in his tone was much stronger than before.

"Probably...... It's those ...... that explode."

Asaph tried to come up with a plausible explanation for Miriam, but it was almost as effective as if she hadn't said anything.

"Looks like I'm going to have to find it myself."

"No, wait!"

Truth be told, Asaph didn't know what to do. Now he was conflicted, his thoughts were swinging back and forth between "Miriam should come" and "Miriam should not come", but another voice was telling him that either one was probably the same.

To put it bluntly, his "betrayal" is actually meaningless at all.

The moment he watched Helbo open his eyes and suddenly stand up from the wooden crate, the door of the warehouse was opened from the outside with a "creak".

"You-"

"Millie, don't come here!"

Asaph rarely uses a nickname to call Miriam, and it's clear that he's always reminding himself of the need to pay attention to his sense of distance. For people like them, it's superfluous to talk about feelings or anything, no matter how you think about it.

That's right, that's what he'd always thought...... Or rather, it was simply a choice he forced himself to make.

When Grandpa Ravan was asking for everyone's opinion and asking if they would like to accept the bloodline transformation, Miriam was the first to stand up.

And he, Asaph, is afraid that he will not be able to have such an enlightenment in this life by his own will.

Yes, although the current situation is very different from that year. But when he found himself on Helbo's side, when he looked up at Miriam in the doorway...... The frustration of that personality is almost the same as it was at the time!

"Millie, get out of here—"

As he shouted these words, Asaph suddenly felt that he should be able to do something.

Yes, why on earth did he have to beg Helmo to let him help? Could it be true that it was just to betray Grandpa Laven?

No, he wanted to find a stronger reason, even if it was a little hypocritical!

"Let's go!"

Asaph hugged a bear and hugged Helmpo to death. I saw that his muscles were raised, and he suddenly broke through his robe, and his body began to swell violently.

The giant's bloodline gave him great strength, and he believed that as long as he hugged him so unexpectedly, no matter how strong the wizard was, he might not be able to break free.

"Run...... Go find ...... yes, go find Macka McLean! Forget about the mission! Go find that McLean, only he can-"

Miriam stood in the doorway, not knowing for a moment what to do for Asaph. She only knew that it would be impossible for her to leave the other party and escape from here, but ...... What the hell is Yasaph talking about?

And in the next second, Asaph suddenly felt a stiffness in his body - he couldn't move!

"Giant bloodline transformation? That's kind of interesting...... It seems that the wizards of this era are not necessarily all waste......"

Helbo, who was hugged tightly by Asaph, had his bones and joints creaking, but he smiled like a nobody.

Unfortunately, this research is clearly not perfect. If the transformation time could be shortened by a factor of several times, the effect would be very different......"

As he was talking, he saw that Helbo just raised his hand, and Asaph, who was already much stronger than just now, uncontrollably let go of the other party, and then fell backwards with a blank face.

"As for what you said about 'go find McLean,'......" Helpo's gaze swept over the doorway, his sharp gaze pointing straight behind Miriam, "I don't think I need to look for it, do you say?" ”

Miriam thought that the other party was talking to her, and her expression was even stagnant. But soon, when a hand lightly rested on her shoulder, she immediately realized something.

"You should say — he made the right choice."

A familiar voice rang out from behind Miriam, and she hurriedly turned her head to see a young face.

"Oh, excuse me."

Miriam staggered a few steps to the side, revealing Maca's figure.

"Young man, what are you looking for me so often?" Haile Bourbon patted the clothes on his body as if no one was around, and slowly smoothed out some of the wrinkles on his head, "Is there any other meaning than meeting me?" ”

But Maca was obviously a little unimpressed by Helbo's statement.

"Meaning?"

He took two more steps forward, shrugged his shoulders at the door, and said:

"If you think that you have to find a 'meaning' to do everything...... I don't think you can adapt to this era. ”

"Since you can't adapt to it, change it." Helmo turned his head sideways, glanced at Maka and said, "Why do I have to take the initiative to adapt to this world?" Instead of letting the world adapt to me? ”

At this point, as if he didn't want to continue talking about these things, he stopped the topic with a wave of his hand.

And when he followed, he casually lifted up his foot and touched Asaph's face.

"Sorry, young man! I don't have much time to make small talk with you right now...... When I'm done with what I'm supposed to do, we can just find a time to discuss it. ”

Helbo spoke, suddenly stepping over Maca's shoulder and looking directly at Miriam behind her.

"Tell me, where is your 'boss' now?"

However, with him asking so casually, how could Miriam tell him?

Seeing that Miriam first glanced at Asaph on the ground, and then glared at him fiercely, Helbo immediately met those two glances without hesitation.

But in the next moment, Maca's face suddenly moved sideways, accurately separating the two sides from each other.

"Helmo, don't do such a boring thing in front of me! Do you really think I don't exist? Maca said with a smirk, "Or ...... What is the position of the 'boss' that is actually important to you? ”

Before the words fell, before Helbo could speak, he stretched out his hand and made a 'please' motion.

"If you want me to see, you better hurry up! Didn't you say the same? I'm afraid you're not my opponent now......"

This level of provocation is commonplace for Helbo. Seeing that he really couldn't please anything, he immediately spread his hands happily.

Even if he could use Asaph to threaten Miriam, as long as Maca was still there, the coercion would never work.

Just as he had controlled Asaph just now, Maca would have to raise her hand to stun Miriam.

"Hmph," said Helmo, with a small smile, "then this little girl will be left with you first...... Remember to keep an eye on it. ”

After speaking, he slammed his hand to his side, and a piece of ground not far away suddenly collapsed. At first, the passage where Miriam and the others came in was destroyed by him casually.

After doing this, Helbo Shi Shiran walked to the door.

Seeing this, Maca did not stop her, but took Miriam's hand and dragged her aside, allowing Helbo to leave the gloomy warehouse.

"Go see your companions! In a few moments, his sanity should have been completely suppressed by instinct. ”

Old Eun's bloodline transformation research has obvious weaknesses, at least in the direction of giant blood. At this moment, Miriam had not recovered from the confusion just now, but it was Maca who remembered the incident first.

When Miriam heard this, she didn't have time to sort out the previous situation, so she subconsciously walked out from behind him and hurriedly ran to Assaph, who was lying on the ground.

"Now...... After all the residents in the black market are cleaned up, the matter will be over for the time being, right? ”

Maca turned around and shook her head at the fire and smoke outside the door.

Of course, this matter is far from over, and the affairs of the Werther family and the Augustinian family will definitely continue to ferment with time and turmoil.

When the time comes, will there be other ancient wizard families in the future...... It's all unknown!

For Maca, the old Eun's mind was somewhat understood, and this was actually the "end" he was secretly talking about.

“…… Asaph. ”

Hearing a faint murmur behind her, Maca's eyes glanced back, and she began to ponder the question of Abatheel and the Demon Summoning Technique again.

Outside the warehouse, explosions are still ringing, and no one sleeps on the underground black market tonight.
