"The soul fragments in the Devouring Mirror have been retrieved by me...... And lo and behold! McLean, that's the greatest sincerity I can show you...... I don't know, are you still satisfied? ”

Helbo's words made Maca instantly turn from doubt to surprise, and then immediately after that, from surprise to even more doubt.

Yes, if the Devouring Mirror is no longer Helbo's Horcrux, then the changes that occurred at Fort Blois make sense.

The ancient mirror, which was no longer bound by Helbo's soul, finally showed its most primitive abilities. A mysterious power like that that even Maca can't completely seal with soul rule runes is a sin demon magic item that can compete with a series of sources of calamity such as the Tablet of Bewitchment and the Sword of Gryffindor.

If it weren't for the fact that Maca had set up a fairly tight lockdown during the study of the Devouring Mirror at Fort Blois, it would have weakened its power to some extent, and perhaps even the Muggle people around Fort Blois would have suffered a great catastrophe.

And just when Maca was deeply surprised by the so-called "sincerity" that Helbo casually said, she heard the other party ask in a matter-of-fact manner:

"McLean, I don't know if you're still satisfied with this gift?"

Regardless of how credible Helbo's words are, at least in Maca's view, this is definitely not a "gift". After all, just because of what Helbo did, it brought a series of troubles to the people around Maca.

Of course, as far as Helbo's thinking is concerned, this should really be regarded as a gift full of "sincerity"!

Although Maca still doesn't know how he did it, maybe this guy is a lie and has other plans. But if he really extracted his soul fragment from the Devouring Mirror, then he would be completely abandoning such a powerful ancient magic prop with both research value and use value.

More importantly, even if he found another item to make a new Horcrux, Maca felt that he would have a hard time finding anything more reliable than the Mirror of Devouring, even if the Mirror of Devouring was always in Maca's hands.

"Let's not say I'm not satisfied," Maca frowned slightly, and said to Helbo on the other side, "I have to admit that your 'sincerity' really surprised me...... Of course, it has to be if you've actually taken back the soul shard. ”

At this point, he paused slightly, and looked to see if Helbo had any reaction.

However, Helbo was obviously not willing to show Maca any intention of proving it - it was undoubtedly extremely dangerous to expose his soul to others, especially if it was an excellent wizard like Maca who also studied the rules of the soul in depth.

Seeing that he did not speak, Maca pursed her lips and continued:

"Alright! I'll put this aside for now, because there's another issue I'd like to discuss with you...... Helmau, I want to know, what exactly is it that you give me this 'sincerity' so you want to exchange? ”

As she spoke, Maca shook her head, and the expression on her face calmed down again.

"Helmo," he said after a moment of careful thought, "I will not make any comments on your words, but I just want to ask you—what do you want from this 'sincerity'?" Is it just an agreement to stop fighting with us? ”

"Oh no! Naturally, that's not all......" Helbo waved the rest of his left hand, "What I want is an environment where I can live and do research with peace of mind—as long as we don't disturb each other, you shouldn't have any reason to be my enemy, right?" ”

It's a pity that although Helbo said it nicely, Maca didn't believe it at all.

"Giving you a safe environment to do your research? And then what? "When you've researched what you want, will you be more comfortable with accomplishing some of your most dangerous plans?" ”

Maca's words made Helbo also silent for a moment, and then he was heard:

"Looks like you're not going to give me a trust, McLean...... Oh, and of course, I do understand your feelings. But do you really have to hold my life before you can be willing to consider what I just asked? ”

To be honest, just looking at Helbo's attitude and demeanor today, Maca can indeed feel an inexplicable sincerity from it.

Helbo, who has caused so many disasters during this time, does not show the same arrogance as in the past today, and Maca feels extremely awkward no matter how she looks at it.

At least, it's certainly a fake.

"Your life?" Maca raised her eyebrows and couldn't help but say lightly, "Helbo...... Do you know how many people are waiting for you to lose your life right now? At this point, my personal thoughts don't matter. Even if you were tired of running around, I don't think the families of those you killed would want to see you still alive comfortably, would they? ”

Hearing this, Helmau shook his head, and then walked to the railing of the London Bridge and looked down at the water of the Thames, which was barely visible under the mist.

After a moment, he looked at the river, which was only faintly visible to Maca, and said softly:

"Looks like we can't talk about it today?"

When Helpo said this, there seemed to add a touch of his usual indifference to his tone. Seriously, this sounds uncomfortable, but compared to the subtle disguise before, Maca is obviously more used to the other party's coldness.

Helbo in this state is just as dangerous, but at least he can let Maca know where the danger might come from. The way to stab people with a soft knife like the one just now is the most unguardable.

Maca seemed to have finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief at this change in Helbo, and saw that he quickly spoke before Helbo could say the following words:

"If you want to say, 'can't talk'...... I don't think so. Helmo, if you can accept my last condition, I will not be able to agree to your request. ”

"On what terms?"

Facing Helmo, who turned around abruptly and asked a serious question, although Maca still hid a pile of distrust in her heart, she still said slowly:

"What else could there be? Of course it's your demonic body—if you keep this power, it's impossible for me to grant you those requests! What do you think? ”
