Chapter 1698: Disappointment

"Luna, I've built it here, you can connect the second floor...... Yes, that's the card...... Oh, I don't know why Maca was able to make a magic card with such an effect comparable to that of a slate! It was so easy to set up......"

"And it's very easy to carry with you."

As soon as Hermione finished speaking, Luna added.

At the same time, Delphi was blending the special ink used to draw the magic script according to Maca's recipe, as more magic cards would definitely need to be replenished in the future.

As for going to the study just now, she didn't mention it to the others here, but just casually found an excuse to hide it.

After all, even if she didn't actually agree with Maca's decision, she wouldn't deliberately do something against Maca's wishes.

And while the three girls were busy completing the tasks assigned by Maca, the rest of the friends who were not good at ancient magic could only watch from the sidelines.

Honestly, it was at times like these that people like Hannah, who had also taken classes in Maca's Ancient Magical Literature class with Hermione and Luna, would feel even more upset that they hadn't been able to learn it properly.

"Harry, do you think we should find something to do...... It's so uncomfortable to watch Hermione just like that, and they're busy! ”

Seeing that Ron was feeling guilty on the side, Harry could only shrug his shoulders helplessly.

"I want to help too! But I think that even if we had to intervene, it would only end up adding to the chaos. So, we'd better just wait here honestly. ”

"Oh!" When Ron heard him say this, he couldn't help but sigh, "I'll go take a look outside...... Even if it's just a levitation charm to help move things, it's better than standing here stupidly. ”

Since Maca was planning to evacuate everyone in Fort Blois, they were now taking advantage of the last time to sort out some necessities, or things that they must never leave for the enemy, so that they could take them with them.

As Ron hurried out the side door, Harry glanced at Neville, who shook his head slightly.

"I'll bet he'll be back in a moment – I've seen for myself how well trained the Blois family are during the few days I've spent here." Neville said, turning to Willy, "Miss Blois, your father is a very good leader! ”

However, in response to his heartfelt compliment, Willy surprisingly did not make any response.

In fact, during this time, everyone has deeply realized the great change she has made from when she was at Hogwarts. Even if it is not clear what has caused her to change so much, the friends all feel that this cheerful and smiling white-haired girl is a truly likable girl.

Until now, everyone has almost forgotten her taciturn and weak sense of existence.

But from just now, somehow, Willy's appearance has become a little strange. Looking at her self-absorbed appearance, I don't know what she was thinking.

"Huh?"

Perhaps Neville and Harry had both looked at her, but Willy finally noticed it, and looked at them both with some confusion.

Then, a bright smile appeared on her face that everyone had become more and more familiar in the past few days.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I seem to be in a daze...... Did you just say anything? ”

"Ahh No, it's not a big deal," Neville asked, waving his hand, "just casual chatter." ”

……

Hermione, the three of them, set up the Magic Text Array, and it obviously took more time. And as mentioned earlier, during this time, the Blois family was also busy preparing for the evacuation.

Among them, it includes summoning some of the family wizards who are out there.

At present, the fog that was originally in the United Kingdom has stagnated on the surface of the Strait of Dover, so the team that was originally camped around the fog area to observe naturally even the patrol work on the periphery has been temporarily suspended.

"Come here, Mr. Taon! It's time for us to go......"

In the logistics camp, Ns, who had been left behind because Maca was seriously injured, was finally able to go back with the wizards of the Blois family. It's just that since the news of Maca's injury has not come here, he still thinks that Maka will come and take him away in person sooner or later, and he feels a little hesitant at this time.

After all, his current situation is indeed embarrassing - after being released by Helmo like that, even he has been worrying about whether the other party has left some dangerous magic on him by some covert means.

"Ma'am, I think it would be better for me to stay here and wait for Mr. McLean."

"No, no, Mr. Butler said he was going to take you back...... As you can see, Mr. Taon, even the fog has moved to the surface of the sea again, and Mr. McLean probably won't come here again. ”

Hearing what the other party said, Ens just wanted to continue talking, but suddenly felt as if something was wrong. And at this moment, a dark shadow suddenly appeared next to the wizards of the Blois Castle family, and swept them away with ease like a pair of rag dolls with a raised arm.

It was only at this moment that Ens could see the figure clearly by the light of the torches in the camp.

"Yes...... Helbo? ”

Seriously, although he had only met each other recently, he was not sure whether it was the same person at all.

The half-melted black body, the twisted left arm, and the crooked facial features on the face are really creepy.

But just as Ens took half a step back in astonishment, the terrifying figure suddenly noticed the movement of his heel inadvertently kicking a stone, and turned his head sharply to stare at him.

"Oh...... Is that you? Kid, we're meeting again. ”

Helbo's already low and hoarse figure had become much more blurred this time, as if something had choked his throat.

When Ens heard this, his scalp tingledβ€”not because of Helbo's strange voice, but because he had quickly sensed a certain restless emotion hidden beneath the calm words.

Is it anger? Or irritability? Ens couldn't tell...... All he knew was that if he wanted to live longer, he had to stay as far away from the other person as possible.

However, will the other party let him go so easily?

"Kid...... It's rare for me to let you slip out so generously, I thought you could surprise me...... But why are you here? You...... I was so disappointed. ”

Helbo stared at him and said.
