Chapter 1387: Ron's Secret Mission
Maca ...... Who are you shoving Harry to? โ
Looking at Maca who had returned from the camp, Ron seemed a little curious, and couldn't help but ask. In this regard, Maca just shrugged her shoulders and said casually:
"What do you think?"
"Uh-"
Ron thought for a moment, and guessed randomly, a little uncertainly:
"It can't be Lockhart, right?"
"Oh, congratulations, you got it right!"
As he spoke, he sat down on the trunk of the dead tree where Harry had been sitting, and grabbed a handful of Harry's smashed stones from the crucible at his feet.
Then, he craned his neck again and glanced inside the one in front of Ron.
"I suggest you'd better polish it a little more delicately, otherwise, Hermione will probably be angry again when she comes back in a while!"
"Oh! Maca," Ron said in distress when he heard this, "it's so tiring to grind by hand! And you see, this mortar is a stone, and the ground stone is also a stone, and after a long time it has become bare! โ
"Aren't you going to find some softer stone to grind?"
Maca shook her head, randomly threw the handful of gravel in her hand into the crucible, clapped her hands and said:
"Let's not talk about that...... Ron, I have one thing for you to do. It's important, and it needs to be kept secret - you can't talk about it to anyone but me, would you like to do me a favor? โ
"Secret mission? Let me do it? โ
As soon as Ron heard this, his right hand, which was holding the stone pestle and stirring vigorously, stopped instantly, and then saw him look at Maca with a confused expression and said:
"Why?"
"Well......" Maca paused to look directly at his puzzled face before replying, "though you might be upset when I say that, but ...... How so? You-"
Before he finished speaking, Ron on the other side raised his hand and gestured slightly, as if he suddenly understood what he meant.
"Wait, let me guess," he said with a subtle expression, "do you want to say ...... Because I can't usually do anything, my sense of presence is too low, so even if I do something, it's hard for others to notice. And that's why you chose to find me? โ
"Oh!"
Hearing him say so bluntly, Maca couldn't help waving her hand again and again:
"No, no, no, it's not 'you can't do anything'...... It's 'low-key'! โ
"Hey, Maca!" Ron scratched his head with a wry smile, "You think we've known each other for a few years?" Seriously, you don't have to be so tactful to talk to me, it's not like you at all! If you had put it in the past, you would have said it straight to the point, and then it would have been nice to stimulate me againโ"
"Really?" Maca shrugged.
"That's it!" Ron pursed his lips and said with a sad face, "What you are best at is to beat people with a stick first, and then persuade others with great truths full of ideals and hopes...... As for statements like the one you just made, it makes me feel really useless! โ
"Oh, I'm sorry!" Maca smiled disappreciatively, "Okay...... So, Ron...... Did you listen or not listen to the secret I just mentioned? โ
"Listen! Why not listen? Ron hurriedly said, "I just didn't come to my senses because I was too surprised!" But if you think I'm the best fit, why should I turn it downโit's a rare opportunity for me to do something! โ
As he was talking, he suddenly shrunk his neck and whispered tentatively:
"By the way, Maca, that...... Is there a danger to life? โ
When Maca heard this, she rolled her eyes.
"Yes!" He was speechless, "Would you like it now?" โ
"Thisโ" Ron hesitated for a moment with annoyance on his face, and finally said with great difficulty, "Ah! Get out of the way, say it! What do you want me to do? Let's say it before I regret it! โ
"Backbone!"
Maca looked at his appearance of sacrificing his life, and couldn't help laughing, but quickly put away his joking expression and said very seriously:
"Okay, no more laughing! I just said that there is a danger to your life, and that scares you - in fact, as long as you behave normally, this thing can basically be said to be in no danger! Well, you sit down a little more and listen to me......"
When Ron got closer, he saw that Maca first cast a silencer spell around him, and then lowered his voice:
"First of all, I'm sure you've heard what I said when I introduced that girl to her childโshe was originally Helpo's subordinate. In the city of London, because Helmo suddenly went out of control, her two companions died, and in the end I saved her, so she followed me back. โ
And then ...... You just think she's there to repay me! It's a bit more complicated...... though," Marca casually skimmed over some of the details, and continued, "Anyway, she told me about the mission Helpo had given her, and a secret that Helpo had stumbled upon. โ
Speaking of this, Maca frowned slightly, as if she was still a little worried.
"The first thing, about her mission, then I won't tell you for the time being, I'll tell you the secret directly." He said softly, "It is said that Helbo has done something around us at some point, and has buried a 'spy' who I don't know who it is. Obviously, this is a huge hidden danger for us, because it is most likely an acquaintance of ours! โ
"So-"
Ron's expression became more serious as he listened, as he easily realized the seriousness of it.
To be honest, the existence of a spy can actually be big or small, and the key depends on the ability of that spy.
But the thought that it was Helmo who buried the spy made it impossible to relax.
"So, you're going to let me find a way to secretly test who is most likely to be controlled by Helbo's mind?" Ron hesitated, "Oh...... This is indeed a secret that no one can tell! If the spy knew we were aware of his presence, things would have been more complicated. โ
"That's right," Maka nodded, "so long as you can keep it a secret, then a spy who hasn't received a direct order from Helmpo must be safe for youโ'he'...... Or 'she', there will be no threat at all. โ
Being able to hide so deep around them is not something that ordinary spies can do. So strictly speaking, the spy who doesn't know who it is will never reveal his identity easily, so it can even be said to be "friendly".
"I see," Ron bowed slightly, "you say! Any suggestions? โ
