The apse was still as dark as ever, and even though Safina was able to open her eyes, there was nothing to see.

So, she quickly closed her eyelids again.

But she now understood that darkness could amplify senses other than vision to a certain extent—she could smell the old dust in the apse, hear drops of water in the backyard gently dripping on the floor tiles, and even feel the slight vibrations every time someone passed in the hallway outside.

That's right, Safina realizes that her senses seem to be many times more sensitive than before.

Since last night, the formation that Maca had laid down by her own hands on the ground had actually stopped, but instead she felt that the unknown power that made her feel pain had become more and more open and clawed in her body.

The pain was nothing, in fact, she had slowly become accustomed to it. But...... To be honest, she was a little worried right now. It's not just because of the patch stopping, it's because McLean hasn't been here to see himself in days.

Where did he go? Did he know about the formation stopping? He...... What kind of terrible power do you want to give yourself?

Even if you really succeed, is you still yourself?

Safina felt the power in her body that seemed to have taken over her entire body, and at the same time she was uneasy.

People are like that, when they are alone, they tend to think more and more.

But in the end, there is only one question left in Safina's mind - will McKellen keep his promise to solve the problem that has plagued her for years for her sister?

In the beginning, Safina accepted the deal under semi-coercion. But honestly, if Maca had been willing to take a little more time and sit down and ask her in the normal way, she would have said yes just as well.

Therefore, compared to her sister Ursula, Safina is not so resistant.

It's "semi-forced" to say that it sounds ugly, but if you look at it from a different angle, isn't the other "half" the meaning of "willing to accept"?

And the only thing that makes her uncertain now is whether Maca will really fulfill her promise.

"But...... Ursula likes him, forget it! It's too dangerous to be with such an incomprehensible man. ”

Suddenly recalling the original purpose of her trip, Safina couldn't help but smile wryly and muttered, which was a way of self-deprecation to relieve the depression in her heart.

In fact, not to mention that Ursula has probably lost the kind of good impression she had for Maca at the beginning, and even Safina, who is mostly nosy, doesn't dare to be ingenious now.

"Hmm."

Suddenly, another strong feeling of nausea welled up in her chest, interrupting her thoughts—this was the third time she had felt this way today, and it hadn't been there in the previous days.

Safina felt that something was about to happen to her.

And at this moment, she suddenly heard a soft "squeak" from the direction of the door, which was the movement of the door of the apse being pushed open.

Then, a cloud of light gradually lit up the room.

Safina struggled to move her head and looked towards the door. The light was a little dazzling to her, and she couldn't help but squint her eyes slightly.

McKellen ...... Mr? ”

"As I said, just call me Maca."

At the doorway, Maca walked in with a flame of light in her hand, and walked to Safina's side step by step. It can be seen that he did not show any surprise or surprise at the formation that had stopped running, and naturally stepped on the formation that he had not been willing to step on before, and squoped down next to Safina.

"Safina, how are you feeling?" He examined it a little and said casually, "Is the pain a little more aggravated?" ”

"It's strengthened a lot," Safina frowned slightly, but her mask was still on her face, an expression that Maka couldn't see, "but ...... It's ok, I'm used to it. ”

"If you keep going a little harder, you'll be at the limit." Maca nodded, "If you can move on your own at any time, then it's almost time to reap the fruits." ”

"Really?" Safina pursed her lips and said weakly, "Isn't it...... It's like ......"

Coldly, she suddenly withdrew the hand hidden in her sleeve, and while Maca's attention was still checking for her, she stretched out a bright dagger to Maca's neck. At the same time, her other arm also hooked the back of Maca's neck, and almost the weight of her entire upper body hung on Maca's neck.

At that moment, Maca only felt a chill on her neck, and then she felt a warmth again, like a weighty scarf around herself.

"Help Ursula first, and then let her go. After that, I'll work with you to complete the deal...... You should understand, I'm worried about your ......."

Since ancient times, the natural enemy of a wizard has been the assassin, and if someone who is not afraid of death puts a dagger around his neck, the result is often the same death. In fact, even in the ancient wizarding world, there were many wizards who died in such humiliation.

Safina didn't dare to say that this would work for Maca, but she couldn't think of any other possibility of seizing the initiative other than gambling with this method.

However, before she could even finish her words, she suddenly had a flush of cheeks, and the next moment she ......

"Uh-huh—"

A large amount of foul-smelling black slime gushed up her throat and spurted out from between the cracks in her mask, sending Maca all over her body.

Seeing this, Maca hurriedly raised her head, but because his neck was being wrapped around Safina, this action had the opposite effect. Feeling the black vomit trickling from her neck into her clothes, Maca pursed her lips and smiled bitterly.

It's not that he's shy when he laughs, it's that he really doesn't dare to open his mouth at this moment!

After a moment, he grabbed the blade of Safina's dagger, pulled it out of his hand, and tossed it aside. Then, he wiped his face and said:

"Don't let go yet...... Are you going to take revenge on me by killing me instead? ”

After saying this, Safina let go of her arm in a daze, and her body, which had lost her strength, slid down Maca's chest.

Maca reached for a moment, and then put her back on the ground.

"Yes, at least let me see that you have the strength to hold me hostage...... Wait, I'll ask Sarah and Willie to come over and take a shower for you, or you'll be able to smoke yourself to death when you turn around. ”

With that, he immediately got up and walked out.

“…… Wait a minute. ”
