I have to say that the mercury statue is indeed a rare alchemical treasure.

But right now, the strength of those preset protective spells is obviously too low. Not to mention what would happen if Helbo came over, even Maca, who was now slightly inferior in terms of destructive power, seemed to be easy to break.

With this defense alone, security cannot be guaranteed.

And obviously, this is not only Maca, but even Lupin has already expected this. That's why Lupin informed Maca of this early in the morning, reminding him to come over as soon as possible to repair the town's protections.

"You big liar!"

Looking at Luna, who was a little awkward, Maca and Ron glanced at each other, and when they saw that the latter immediately turned around and pretended to look at the scenery, they shook their heads with tears and laughter.

"Luna?"

He grabbed the girl's shoulders with both hands and pulled her over, and then said in a good voice:

"Alright, don't make a fuss...... When Helbo's affair is over, you can play as much as you want, even if you live in this statue, I don't care about you, okay? But now, I still have a lot of important things to do, so you can go back and rest first! ”

With that, Maca reached for her waist again, took out a tin jar and stuffed it into Luna's hand.

"Here, make a pot of Godigan tea when you get back, your favorite."

"Oh!"

When Luna heard this, she immediately took the jar and opened it to look at it, and soon showed a smile of surprise.

"I forgot my can at school, I haven't had it in days! Well, I'm going to cook it...... See you tomorrow in Namaka! ”

A straightforward personality is good, and you can turn your head and forget about everything, Maca watched Luna start to run back happily, and couldn't help but smile.

After a moment's pause, he gestured to Ron, who was still standing in a daze.

"What are you still doing in a daze, you can go back too! I'm going to get to work! ”

"Huh?" When Ron heard this, he couldn't help but come back to his senses, "Oh, good...... That...... Good night! ”

Watching the two of them leave the square one after the other, and disappear into the intricate streets in a short time, Maca stood still for a moment before suddenly turning and looking at the other side of the square.

"Mr. Taon...... No, it should be 'Mr. Gaunt,'" he beckoned into the shadows of the alley over there, "come out!" Looks like you have something to say? ”

At Maca's call, the figure that had been hiding in it realized that there was no longer any need to continue hiding, and finally slowly walked from inside to the light of the street lamp.

Maca watched him walk through the square, and as he walked to the center of the square, her eyes fixed on the face of the mercury statue, and she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly.

"Sir," he repeated the phrase again, "it seems that you have something to say?" ”

Seeing that the other party didn't speak immediately, he couldn't help but think for a moment, and then continued:

“…… Or is there a story worth hearing? ”

"Why do you say that?" It was only at this moment that the other party replied faintly, "Just because I've been staring at this statue and it looks like it's 'very story-telling'?" ”

"Isn't it?" Maca shrugged her shoulders and said, "At least, I don't see any appreciating works of art in your eyes, but a feeling of 'memory'...... But there are many, many of them. ”

"Hmph, it's clever...... If I had a choice, I don't think I would have chosen you to be my son's teacher. ”

To be honest, it's hard to imagine a conversation like this in a Squib, with a "genius" wizard.

However, both of them seemed to find this not unusual.

"Indeed," Maca said calmly when she heard the follow-up, "I must admit that I will certainly not be a qualified teacher!" But how to say it...... Actually, now, I like this job more and more. ”

"Really?"

Gaunt then shook his head, as if he were talking to himself:

"I once heard a very good teacher say, 'As a teacher, you don't necessarily need to have great knowledge and talent, but you do need to have the awareness to let students practice on their own and then make mistakes'...... In fact, she said a lot of things, most of which I don't think I thought of, but this is the only one that I agree with. ”

Hearing this, Maca couldn't help but bow slightly, nodded in agreement:

"It's a great realization, for that point...... I really can't. ”

As he was talking, he suddenly followed the other party's gaze and looked up at the mercury statue, as if he said abruptly:

"Is that what she said?"

After a moment of silence, Gaunt did not answer Maca's question directly, but changed his words:

"She's my wife, the mother of Ens's boy, Miranda Gaunt."

"Oh?"

Seriously, the other party's words were really a bit unexpected by Maca. Although he guessed that the other party had some relationship with the prototype of this statue, no matter how much he thought about it, he didn't expect that the two would have such a direct relationship.

"Wait, based on the time when the spiral town was built...... Pardon me, Mr. Gaunt, but aren't you the same as your lady—"

"Twenty-one," Gaunt said nonchalantly, "she's twenty-one years older than me...... But what's going on here? If by her actual age—"

As he spoke, he suddenly turned his head and glanced at Maca.

"Oh, do you think the statue is enlarged proportionally to Mira's size?" Gaunt shook his head lightly and said, "No, that's what she really looks like...... Well, except for that face. ”

"Huh?"

When Maca heard this, she couldn't help but look at the statue again.

In fact, the statue was a little too big or too small, and it did make Maca feel a little subtle - if it was a statue in the middle of the square, it was actually a little small, and if Hagrid were to come over, it would probably be about half a head taller than it.

But this is the real height of a human woman...... Even if the base under its feet was removed, there would definitely not be one of the so many people who had gathered in the square just now who could look at it.

"Giant hybrids?"

"Yes," Oka nodded, pausing slightly, before continuing, "yes...... There are stories, and if you're willing to hear them, I'll tell them to you...... I have only one request, no matter what, protect this town! ”

Obviously, he didn't need to explain much about what he said, since this statue was his wife, it was naturally not difficult to understand that the husband, who was the founder of this town, wanted to keep this spiral town.

"Then please tell me!" "I think I'd love to hear it." ”
