"A mutation of the mist? Something to do with that Muriel? ”

To be honest, Maca didn't have a deep impression of Muriel. If Pansy hadn't been able to get her out of the Ministry dungeon, which led to the second prison robbery, Maca might not even be able to remember her as quickly as she heard her name.

On the other side, Lupin sat on the bench where Neville and Hannah had sat before, and thought for a moment:

"Yes, at least that's what Helbo meant at the time. Of course, I don't really understand what exactly is going on...... What do you think? ”

The two were sitting facing each other, and in the middle of them were scattered letters and notes. While the two of them were talking, they began to dig through the useful information one after another.

It has to be said that this is undoubtedly a very laborious job, but neither Lupin nor Maca blames Mondigus, after all, the guy is really not good at this kind of thing.

Not only that, but Montungus's decision to send all the intelligence information over may seem stupid, but it is actually quite correct. Because in today's special time, Maca would rather go through the extra task of herself than miss anything.

After about half an hour, both Maca and Lupin stopped sorting out the information. I saw that Maca twisted her neck, which was a little sore because she had been lowering her head, and then said thoughtfully:

"It seems that those apprentices in Helbo must be 'crazy'...... Of course, as you just said, Martin seems to be an exception. ”

Since there was one exception, there might be a second, and Maca felt it necessary to have someone look for it. Then I heard Maca continue:

“…… Then, again, all those madmen must have been summoned by Helpo for the time being. I don't know what his purpose is, but when I think about it, it probably won't be a good thing. ”

At this, Maka paused slightly, frowning slightly.

"As for the change in the fog that you care about the most...... Lupin, I just have something to tell you about here......"

The matter of the demon summoning technique also surprised Lupin. However, since even Maca didn't know what the process and result of this summoning technique were, after listening to it, Lupin's heart had more questions.

But, of course, it's better to have a coherent problem than a coherent one. Anyway, Lupin, who has already learned the whole general context, doesn't even know where to start to investigate.

I saw him nod his head with a serious expression, and said in a deep voice:

"So what should be put first now is ...... Find the witch named 'Muriel'? ”

"Well, that's right," Maka said slightly, "but she's obviously very important to Helmpo now, so he must have been very well hidden, and it will not be easy to find her." ”

"Anyway, I'll have to go for it," Lupin handed the information to Maca, then stood up and said, "Then I'll go, let's go to Sirius first...... If nothing else, Kingsley should be with him. Tonight, before the federation's manpower came over, we were mainly defending two refuge points...... Let's leave the matter of finding someone after the support comes! ”

"Alright," Maca said immediately, "that's for now, and I'll ask my spiders to help find it in the meantime...... Be careful when you pass. ”

……

Just as Lupin and Maca said goodbye and parted, the situation on the Diagon Alley side also turned around for the time being.

Aberforth's arrival has made the defense line of the Leaky Cauldron much more solid, and with the temporary recall of the most difficult apprentices of Helbo, they have even had a chance to counterattack.

However, what caused Kingsley a bit of a headache was that Aberforth was somewhat uncooperative.

"Don't assign people to me, I'm used to being alone, but I don't fit in when there are more people......"

The old man waved his hand, resolutely not wanting some of the Aurors to be separated by Kingsley, preferring to be alone. According to him, it was he who was not good at command and coordination.

But now there are many dark wizards outside, and the number of them is at least twice as large as their side, if it is only one person to fight, even if Aberforth is good at fighting, it will inevitably fall into an embarrassment.

What's more, judging from the previous situation of fighting so many people alone, the advantage he achieved was mainly due to the blow that he had just taken by surprise. After that, the situation has obviously gradually turned to a stalemate, and if it is a head-to-head confrontation, I am afraid that the situation may not be very optimistic.

"Aberforth, I'm sure you understand, too. In this case, group fighting is clearly better than fighting alone. Even if you don't know how to cooperate with people, at least bring some people around, at least it can help you reduce some of the pressure on the enemy. ”

"Okay, okay, let's talk about it later!" Aberforth said casually, "Anyway, we have to wait for the gang of guys from the Federation to come over, otherwise, it doesn't make much sense for us to attack here." ”

With that, he reached out and pulled over a chair and sat down at the door with a big grin. Looking at the dark wizards outside the magic barrier, I don't know what they are thinking about again.

Seeing this, Kingsley had no choice but to turn his head and shake his head helplessly at Sirius.

"Let's go up and keep an eye on it! The view from the window is relatively wide, so if there is anything unusual, you can detect it as soon as possible. ”

Tonks watched the two of them go upstairs, and this time she didn't go with them, but looked back and forth with a little curiosity at Aberforth who was blocking the doorway.

"See what?" Aberforth said angrily, "What do I have to look at...... If you want to look outside, think about it carefully, and how to fix these bastards who don't sleep in the middle of the night when you go back! ”

"Oh, I'm sorry," Tonks said, leaning against the wall next to him, shrugging his shoulders, "I was just wondering if there was something special about the Dumbledores, or why you and the professor were so powerful." ”

"Well, I knew it was my bastard brother again," Aberforth pouted, "you people, don't always compare me to him...... Maybe there's really no one else but McLean who can compare to that bastard. ”

When Tonks heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows and said:

"Actually, I found out when I was in the pig's head bar before, although you never have a good voice when you mention the professor, but you still seem to respect him very much?"

"Of course," Aberforth snorted lightly, without looking back, "in terms of natural strength, he has far surpassed his peers since he was a child; In terms of mind and mind, he has always been outstanding...... Don't look at me like this, I'm very 'proud' of my brother in my heart! ”

Even if he couldn't see the look on his face as he spoke, Tonks could hear the sarcasm in his tone. Although Tonks had no idea what the conflict was between the two brothers, she knew that it was best not to continue the conversation.

After a slight pause, Tonks suddenly turned to say:

"What about Maca? In fact, not only you, but many people also say that Maca is the second Albus Dumbledore...... I think you know better than anyone about the professor, and I've heard that Maca often goes to the pig's head bar...... Do you think the two of them are very similar? ”

However, Aberforth suddenly turned around and glared at her.

"I remember, you're Remus's boy's little girlfriend, aren't you?" He said, "No wonder you can be together, you all have the same way of thinking when you don't have to talk to each other...... Kingsley asked you to come and talk to me, right? Tell him not to think about it, and instead of thinking about how to get along with me, think more about what to do next...... In my opinion, tonight's events will not be so simple, and the support of the federation may not make the situation much better. ”

Before he could finish speaking, he tilted his head and motioned for Tonks to do what he should do, so that he could not get entangled with him here.

Obviously, although Aberforth seems rough, the careful thinking of others can quickly see through it.

When Tonks saw that he had said these words, he ignored himself, and had to bend his neck and stick out his tongue, and turn around to go upstairs.

But at this moment, Aberforth, who was sitting at the door, suddenly spoke:

"By the way, let those two guys down...... Your man is coming. ”

"Huh?"

When Tonks heard this, he immediately turned around and leaned over, and hurriedly looked out the door. But Aberforth pushed her, and said impatiently:

"Ahhhhh They couldn't see it from upstairs. ”

Although Tonks was pushed aside by him at once, but at that moment now, she still saw the familiar figure in the alley opposite.

After realizing that Lupin should be fine, she ran down the stairs with some peace of mind, and went upstairs.

After a short time, Kingsley and Sirius, who had just gone up, hurried back to the door with Tonks, and after looking at Lupin's position, they immediately discussed a specific course of action to take him over.

There are quite a few enemies out there right now, and they're all the kind of guys who aren't quite mentally right. As Maca had said, those were all cultists who had been gathered by Helbo's apprentices, and they were almost all ordinary wizards who had been controlled by the dark arts.

Unlike Aberforth, who was completely uninhibited, at least Kingsley believed that they needed to be more cautious with these people. If there are too many casualties, the Ministry of Magic will probably have a very bad impact on the wizarding community.

At the end of the day, people don't think they can take human life lightly in times of crisis, and it's not unheard of in history that similar situations have provoked public outrage.

Aberforth was apparently a little unimpressed by this.

"Won't you just fool around then?"
