Chapter 1003: The Basilisk Reappears
Maca spent the whole night in the basement of Black's old house.
As for the strange substance born from the soul, he repeatedly analyzed and studied it during the night. Although he soon understood that Helmo was collecting souls, he was never able to draw any more conclusions.
He always felt as if he was missing something very important.
However, time waits for no one. While he was still meditating, Helmo would certainly not be idle, probably preparing more somewhere outside.
After all, if you want to achieve your goals, that guy obviously needs to spend a lot of energy!
"Anyway, that's all there is to doβ"
Closing the notebook in her hand with a "snap", Maca thought secretly:
"Since the unexpected opportunity last time was interrupted by Helbo, then this time, the opportunity will be created by yourself!"
"Tuk-tuk."
I've just decided what I'm supposed to do.,I'm thinking about continuing my research in this direction.γ Unexpectedly, there was a knock on the door of the potions preparation room from outside.
After a moment's pause, Maca waved her hand casually in the direction of the door and said:
"Please come in!"
Before he could finish speaking, the door opened in response to his movements, and a figure walked in from outside the door.
"Mr. McLean."
When Maca heard this, she smiled and nodded at the visitor.
"What's wrong, Lena?"
"That's right," said Lena, who had stood still at the door, leaning over slightly, and said calmly, "just now Blois Castle in France has sent someone over, and is now speaking to Monsieur Lupin in the reception roomβhe asked me to tell you." β
As soon as she heard that it was someone from Fort Blois who had come, Maca immediately said:
"It's already morning, huh? I didn't even pay attention...... Oh, got it, you go back first! I'll clean up here and I'll be over soon. β
After Lena turned to leave, Maca refilled the mass of material that had been temporarily stored in the rune array back into the special potions bottle and got up and walked out of his potions preparation room.
And when he climbed upstairs to see, there were already a crowd of children gathered in the foyer.
Here are not only the imprisoned children who were rescued by Maca, but also Helen Schoen, whom Isla calls her sister. Blocked from the power of the Silent One, she is now just an ordinary girl.
Of course, in addition to these people, there is also the daughter of Voldemort, who was taken over by Maca, Delphi Fisher; and little Cathy, who had just lost her mother and heard some of the "false prophets" from her.
If she could, Maca would actually want to send both the Leni and Lena sisters over. After all, although they are pure-blooded werewolves and have good combat effectiveness, that little ability is absolutely useless in front of Helmo.
Unfortunately, the werewolf sisters decisively rejected Maca's proposal, and both decided to stay in the old Black Mansion and not go anywhere.
For them, who have been displaced since childhood and have no sense of belonging, this old mansion has already become a real "home" in their hearts.
"All ready?"
Instead of going into the reception room right away, Maca walked gently over to the children.
It can be said that each of these children has a past that they can't bear to look back on, including little Delphi, a little girl who said goodbye to her parents shortly after she was born, and she has experienced an encounter that ordinary people will not experience in a lifetime at a young age.
For the current place of right and wrong in the British wizarding world, it is indeed better to stay away.
ββ¦β¦ Mr. McLean. β
Little Cathy took two steps forward and looked up at Maca, as if she still felt uneasy. Seeing this, Maca couldn't help but think for a moment, and then looked to the side.
Little Delphi was being held in her arms by Helen, the eldest of the people, probably because it was still morning, and she was sleeping in a daze against Helen's chest.
After glancing at little Delphi's sweet sleeping face, Maca suddenly lowered her head and whispered to little Cathy:
"Although the oldest person here is Miss Schoen, if you want to say that the most mature and sensible, I think it should be you. So, there's something very important I have to entrust to youβ"
"Something very important?"
Little Cathy didn't expect that Maca would say anything "entrusted" at this time, and her expression was quite puzzled, she even felt a little confused.
But Marka quickly bowed slightly, and continued:
"Yes, it's important! With your cleverness, you must understand that an enemy like Helmo cannot be dealt with overnight. And there are still many suspicions, and if there is a slight mistake, even France will soon be in danger......"
"As I said before, even in France, you can all learn magic. Especially at Fort Blois, I think for my sake, Mr. Blois is not stingy β so you can take everyone with you. β
At this point, he paused suddenly, and then added:
"In addition, Delphi Fisher, who is going with you to France this time, is the youngest, and is the younger sister of all of you. If anything, help me take care of her! β
Hearing Maca say this, a trace of hesitation suddenly appeared on little Cathy's face. I saw her take a closer look at Maca's face, and then look back at Delphi in Helen's arms, but the subtlety in her expression became more and more intense.
"Mr. McLean," she said, "you have said so much, and it all turned out to be just a foreshadowing for the last sentence, right?" Well, this little sister of Delphi...... Is it really the surname 'Fisher'? β
"Alright," Maca said with a roll of her eyes and a pat on the shoulder, "Sure enough, too smart kids aren't cute...... Also, her surname is Fisher, don't think about it. β
Little Cathy listened, couldn't help pursing her lips, glared at Maca and said:
"Weak heart! Dissemble! No wonder mom always says, men are like this! β
"Clickβ"
He was helplessly watching little Cathy count down her Maca, when she suddenly heard the door open behind her. Although it would have been nice to tease her for a while while following her words, Maca chuckled and turned to look at the door of the reception room.
"Why hasn't Mr. McClain come yet, it turns out that he was chatting happily with the young masters and ladies outside! Good morning, Mr. McLean! β
This time it was none other than the old butler of the Blois family. Needless to say, this is also an old acquaintance of Maca, and in fact, it has only been long since the two last met.
"Oh, good morning, Mr. Butler."
Maca greeted her as she walked towards the reception room. Little Cathy looked at the back of Maca entering, she was still accusing the other party just now, but at this time she suddenly quieted down.
Of course, this unusually mature little girl has already reacted - Maca was probably just cheering herself up by entrusting her words just now.
Maca knows very well that once she has a certain sense of responsibility in her heart, even if she is not at ease, she will consciously cheer up because of the pressure on her shoulders. Maca herself is like this, and little Cathy is feeling a little similar now.
"yes!" She said secretly in her heart, "We don't have the ability to stay here yet, so we'd better leave this place before we gain the corresponding strength...... Perhaps, everyone here thinks the same way, right? β
Quietly looking around, these were all people who had received the great favor of Mr. McLean, that is, each of them was like himself.
β¦β¦
"Mr. McLean, this is a gift that Miss wants me to bring you."
In the reception room, Maka, who had just entered and sat down, immediately saw the old butler take out a delicate box and carefully place it on the long table in front of him.
Maca didn't even need to open it to see it, and as soon as the old butler took it out, he felt a strong wave of magic from it.
After a moment's thought, it didn't take long for him to show a hint of surprise.
"That Rafaela dragon kiss is starting to salivate?"
At the invitation of Willy, he went to Fort Blois to "plant flowers", and what he planted was a precious magical plant called "Rafaela Dragon's Kiss".
This plant must be watered with dragon's blood from the moment it is planted, otherwise it will never bloom.
And after the grower has spent at least 10,000 gold gallons, it will bloom a flower that resembles a dragon's head, and can even breathe dragon breath like a real fire dragon.
However, if you want to reap the benefits of this precious magic plant, you will have to wait a long time. It is not until the flower is fully mature that it secretes blood-red ambergris from the dragon's mouth and falls to the ground into crystals.
In the book "100 Endangered Rare Plants", it is recorded that this crystal is called "ambergris crystal", which contains a huge vitality derived from dragon blood.
In addition, because it has been harmonized and filtered by the plant itself, the nature of the energy has become extremely mild, and it is a natural healing agent that can be taken orally directly.
Of course, it would be a waste to swallow it so directly!
"That's a good thing!" Even Maca, who has seen a lot of treasures, can't help but praise again and again at this moment, "When I make a difference, I will see Helbo again in the future, and I will surprise him!" β
After a while, the old butler chatted with Maca again, and then prepared to take the children back to France.
It's just that before leaving, he finally told Maca a piece of news that was not so good. Although it has nothing to do with Hogwarts or even the British wizarding world, it is a big thing that people have to worry about.
"Just a few days ago, we received the latest information - the African School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Ouagado has been attacked by a basilisk, killing and wounding countless people. At present, the head of the family has sent someone to investigate on the spot, but the person has not sent the news back yet, and it is estimated that it is ......"
ββ¦β¦ There is no room for optimism. β
Maca added the last sentence before muttering, "Basilisk...... Is it? β(https:)
