As the food on the small round table suddenly appeared, all the children, including Joshua, subconsciously swallowed. They hadn't eaten properly in a while, especially the little ones who were locked up in the dungeon.

But none of them moved, even if they were hungry alone, they had no intention of doing it themselves.

"You guys fill your stomach first, I still have to deal with some things here......"

Maca waved her hand at them, then walked to the side with Abigail and sat down on an empty barrel. With a flick of his wand, he undid the spell on Abigail.

"This is the second time we've met," Maca said calmly, looking at her calmly, "To be honest, I didn't expect to see you again so easily. ”

"You-" Abigail snapped back to her senses, and the moment she saw Maka, her body tensed instantly, "That was the Imperius Curse, right?" You...... Who are you? ”

"Huh?"

Seeing that she woke up, Maca put on a panicked look, and couldn't help but wonder if she had caught the wrong person.

"You don't know who I am?" He stared into Abigail's eyes and said quietly.

"How do I know!" Abigail said nervously.

"You'd better just tell me! Where did you take Sirius? Maca frowned, "As long as you tell the truth, I won't embarrass you." ”

But Abigail was vigilant, her hand moved slightly, and suddenly she looked at Maca's back and her eyes widened, as if something incredible had appeared behind him.

Just looking at her inexplicable behavior, I'm afraid most people will be at least stunned.

And in the next second, the spatial point she was in suddenly distorted, which was a sign of the activation of the phantom shift!

Maca, however, was completely unaffected by Abigail's cleverness. I saw that the staff in his hand shook slightly, and it seemed that he had made some response, but Abigail's apparition showed no signs of being hindered.

The space distorted, expanded, and contracted, all in one go, at an extremely fast speed, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared in front of Maca with Abigail.

But just as she shrunk into a point as she twisted and deformed, a dot also appeared on Maca's left hand side, and it quickly expanded and stretched.

The coordinates of Abigail's apparition manifestation are actually next to Maca?

"Go back and sit down!" Maca said lightly, "I said it, as long as you tell the truth, I won't embarrass you, understand?" ”

"This ...... How can it be? Abigail looked left and right, froze in place, "How did you do that?" ”

"It's just a confusion spell." Maca waved her hand and motioned for her to go back and sit down.

"Just the Confusion Charm?" Abigail said blankly, "That's a very complex spell, no wizard has ever used it to thwart apparitions!" The length of the spell alone is incomparable! ”

"Yes, I didn't think about it until I met you." Maca nodded calmly, then continued, "Don't you want to sit?" Then stand and speak! Answer my question. ”

Abigail was right, this time it was only because of her extra move that Maca had prepared for a long time. Otherwise, even Maca would not choose to use the Confusion Charm to interfere with the location of the Apparition Shifter, but would take some more "rough" means to stop it.

Because the spell "Phantom Shifting" is one of the spells that Maca can't stop with skill, because it involves the rules of space.

"Don't you want to say it?" Maca turned her head to look at her stiff side face and asked, "Is this a secret worth protecting with your own safety?" ”

Abigail was silent, but her heart was struggling.

She had already felt the strength of the wizard in front of her, so strong that she didn't even dare to move.

She had graduated from Ilvermorny with a pretty good grade, and the professors loved her as a clever and talented little witch.

And she has always been very serious, every homework, every exam will not be perfunctory, and never disappoint the expectations of professors and students.

She believed that her efforts were worthy of the magical gifts given to her by God.

Because of this, she realized the unfathomable depth of the wizard in front of her. It is precisely because she has also worked the road of magic that she knows how incredible the scene just now is.

Therefore, as soon as she thought that the terrifyingly strong guy in front of her was most likely a dark wizard, she couldn't help but want to run away. So, once she found out that she couldn't even escape, she wanted to compromise.

And the first thing she thought of was her sister Olivia.

Such a terrible dark wizard, she definitely didn't want that unreliable sister to face it alone. Therefore, she can't speak, not a word!

That Sirius may have been a good man, but right now he was facing a powerful dark wizard who could cast an unforgivable spell without moving!

Abigail pursed his lips, trembling slightly, and didn't say a word.

Then, Maca stood up with her staff in hand.

"Maybe you don't have any problems, but ......" Maca looked at Abigail's face, the expression on that face a little stubborn, "I don't have a lot of time, but I have to get information from you." Since you don't want to say it, then I can only 'see' for myself. ”

The staff in Maca's hand suddenly slammed on the ground, and in an instant, his eyes became incomparably deeper.

It was at that moment that Abigail's mind was in a trance, and when she came back to her senses, she saw Maca's face with a hint of stunnedness.

"What did you do to me?"

Just now, Abigail felt a feeling of being watched by the other party, and she immediately took two steps back in a panic, and suddenly felt a palpitation.

"Uh......" Maca blinked, slightly embarrassed, "yes, I want to say...... I'm sorry! ”

"What?" Abigail was surprised.

"I mean, I'm sorry—" Maca leaned slightly towards her, "yes, I'm sorry! I just scared you...... I didn't expect it to be you and your sister who helped Sirius. ”

"W-What do you mean?"

Suddenly apologized by a "dark wizard", Abigail was suddenly confused. Probably because the change before and after was too abrupt, she couldn't react for a while.

In the last second, I was still wondering if I would lose my life here!

"I just read your memories with the Dementor Mindfulness...... Yes! I'll have to apologize to you for that, but I'd better wait a minute! I mean, because we were too hasty when we first met, so there was a little bit of a misunderstanding. ”

"Actually, I'm a friend of Sirius, and I received a letter from him and came to his rescue. And there are actually other people who want to attack him. ”

"No, wait—" Abigail didn't feel much relieved when she heard Maca say this, but was a little more skeptical, "do you think I'll believe what you say?" ”

But Marka shrugged her shoulders and said, "I only said this when I knew where Sirius was, so why shouldn't you believe it?" Well...... He's staying with your sister Olivia in a garden cottage by the Hudson River, isn't he? ”

"But—" Abigail felt that she still seemed a little confused, and she thought about it for a moment before she nodded hesitantly, "yes, yes...... Are you really a friend of that guy? ”

"Of course, I don't have to lie to you." Maca spread her hands.

"Yes...... You used a Imperius curse on me at the post office! That's one of the three unforgivable curses! Abigail frowned and said, "All spells are closely related to the spirit of wizards, and that level of black magic can greatly affect people's emotions and minds!" How do you tell me to believe you? ”

Hearing this, Maca couldn't help but look at her in surprise and nodded.

"Truth be told, I've rarely heard such a clear description of the nature of magic from other wizards...... Did you graduate from Ilvermorny? How in-depth is your school's curriculum? ”

"No, it's not—"

Abigail felt a little out of step with Maca - this is what this guy cares about?

“…… This is what I slowly deduced by comparing the information with the actual spell casting. ”

Maca nodded knowingly, "You have a good understanding of magic - indeed, as you said, modern spells are all related to the spirit of the spellcaster, and the strength of magic increases or decreases according to the caster's mental bias. Black magic is black magic because they are 'evil' in general. ”

"Yes! So—"

"Listen to me first!" Maca interrupted Abigail and continued, "However, there is no such thing as good or evil in magic itself, they only have a bias towards 'rules'. The reason why black magic is 'evil' is simply because it is easier to understand them in a spirit that is biased towards 'evil'. ”

Seeing that Abigail was a little confused, Maca turned to say, "For example, for example, the 'Imperius Curse' I used before, its main point is 'control' - use your own spirit to control the other person's spirit. The reason why it is 'evil' is because of its strong malice and desire for control, which makes it easier to suppress the spirit of the other party. ”

"But at the end of the day, it's still 'a stronger will than the other party', or 'spirit'." Maca paused, then continued, "So the Imperius Curse is resistable, understand? ”

Listening to Maca's detailed description, Abigail, who already likes magical theories, couldn't help but be fascinated.

"So......" Abigail said stunned, "the 'Killing Curse'...... And how to say? ”

"The essence of the killing curse is quite special, and it is not so easy to parse." Maca shook her head and said, "If you're interested, you can try to learn about other dark arts, but the Killing Curse is best not to touch lightly." ”

"Well, the topic is a bit far away, let's go back to Sirius first!"

After not long as she became a professor, did she start to suffer from occupational diseases-Maca couldn't help but laugh at herself.
