It's been a few days since Maca returned from the Ministry of Magic with Sarah.

Although a lot of things have certainly happened in the past few days, there are not many that are really worth mentioning. It's nothing more than that the Blois father and daughter are still making trouble from time to time, Safina is still unable to move in the apse, and Ursula is clamoring to see her sister every time she eats.

For Maca, none of that matters.

And if there is one thing that concerns him the most, it is probably Sarah's situation.

He was in the Department of Mysteries at the time to collect some of the power behind the door and embedded it in Sarah's soul with the help of the Soul Rules.

The changes after that were almost as he imagined - the energy that was forcibly "inlaid" in it was not exclusive to the soul itself, and even automatically reconciled, gradually merging with each other.

The "love" in Dumbledore's mouth, as well as Marca's two branches of the Soul Rules, are completing Sarah's soul little by little.

Right now, Maca was sitting in Sarah's room, looking at the girl lying motionless on the bed, carefully perceiving every slight change in her soul.

And at the end of Sarah's bed, her alchemy doll sat silently, faithfully guarding its owner.

However, what people may be more concerned about at this moment is the large rectangular stone jar placed in the center of the room.

It can be seen that the surface of the stone jar that looks like a coffin is engraved with some alchemical symbols, and the floor under the jar is painted with a array, and the stone jar is filled with a dark green liquid.

At first glance, the entire liquid surface is very calm, with only occasional slight ripples, indicating that there may be some living creatures hidden in the water.

However, don't look at such a particularly mysterious and suspicious vat in this room, Maca, who was sitting not far away, didn't pay attention to it at all. Needless to say, he didn't have much interest in either the stone jar itself or the contents of the jar.

He was just waiting for Sarah, waiting for the other party to prove an "answer" for him through this soul-building process.

"It seems that there will be no more accidents."

Suddenly, Maca couldn't help but look at Sarah, and said to herself:

"The rules of the soul and the so-called 'love' of the professor are complementary and coexist, and there is no such thing as 'the end of the rules of the soul is the rule of death'...... And this shows that Helbo has indeed been misleading me, consciously or unconsciously, so that I myself naturally believe through constant thinking that his goal is to control death. ”

Thinking of this, he suddenly asked himself again:

"So, it goes back to the original question - what is his purpose?"

Thinking like this, Maca once again thought about the demonic body that Helbo had tried in every possible way to obtain and survive. There was no doubt that he was trying to do something with that particular body.

"If you just want to use its power to make waves and become a king, it will be too boring...... A wizard like him shouldn't do something like that that doesn't make sense in the study of magic. ”

"So—"

He seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but nod.

"Since you can't 'control' death, you just need to make sure that you don't get taken away by the death rules, right? And the demon body can resist the erosion of the rules of death...... The 'eternal life' of the body has been achieved by making Horcruxes, so what he is pursuing now is the 'eternal life' of the soul. ”

The voice fell slightly, and Maca's mind had turned, but suddenly she said to herself:

"And then? What's next for me? ”

……

This is the first time that Maca has found a flaw in Helbo, who has unequal information, and yes, he is getting closer to Helpo's true goal step by step through this proof.

It's just that his last sentence can't help but make people suspicious.

At the same time, Hermione, who was building a stronghold in Weymouth Harbor, had no idea of this. In the past few days, she has been very busy.

Now, an area on Weymouth's side has been defended by a large number of people. Not only that, but even the town of Yoville has been regained under the control of the Resistance League.

Because many alliance members took the initiative to mobilize manpower to assist this time, and after the previous wave of living corpses, the neighborhood finally quieted down again, and the construction of the stronghold went quite smoothly.

What's even more worth mentioning is that because of the establishment of a stronghold on her side, the number of survivors who have rushed to Weymouth for refuge and transfer has gradually increased.

After successive setbacks in the past, the situation has finally improved.

Of course, the premise is that Helbo doesn't continue to cause trouble on her side......

Today, Weymouth Harbour Camp welcomed a group of wizards claiming to have arrived from Hogwarts Castle, and they also brought a secret letter for the person in charge to read.

“…… Preferably Mr. McLean, but I heard it while passing through the town of Yeovil, and Mr. McLean doesn't seem to be here. So...... Who is the top person in charge here? Even better if you were also from Hogwarts! ”

The leader is a middle-aged witch, who doesn't look too young. She has short chestnut hair mixed with some silver threads, and she looks very fresh and capable.

"Oh, wait a minute, I'll go and tell Miss Granger - rest assured, she's from Hogwarts and a good friend of Mr. McLean."

The camp guard nodded at the other man, then turned and walked back into the camp.

However, after he left, another guard wizard next to him took another step forward, standing in front of him instead of his companion who had returned to report.

"Sorry, you're a lot of people and you'll need to be checked outside the camp before you can enter. In order to ensure the safety of the camp, we ask for your understanding. ”

"Of course!" The witch bowed slightly, "I understand, it's okay - I've spent so much time on the road, and I don't care about these few minutes." ”

"Thank you for your understanding."

With that, the wands in the hands of the remaining four guards at the camp gate did not deviate from each other's direction in the slightest.

It was only a moment before Hermione and a group of wizards came out of the depths of the camp and came to the camp gate.

In fact, she was surprised to hear that the other party was from Hogwarts Castle, thinking that she might meet some acquaintance. But who knew that when he came out to take a look, he found that he didn't know any of the seven or eight people in the team outside.

"Excuse me...... Who are you? She couldn't help but ask.
