Chapter 1311: Return to Fort Blois
In a previous conversation with Lupin, Maca had mentioned that he needed to leave London. But before that, he returned to St. Mungo's to make the final and most crucial confirmation.
Along the way, Maca didn't let anyone notice herself—he didn't even make an appearance from the hospital room. After remaining incognito and entering the waiting hall on the ground floor of St. Mungo, he made his way up the stairs to the top floor.
If you look at the time on the surface, he's actually just been out of here.
About ten minutes ago, "he" was still sitting on the floor in front of the couch, carving his name on the edge of the pendant of the time turner!
“…… Luna. ”
Maca lifted the protective magic that had been used to block the entrance to this level, and slowly walked to the sofa.
At this time, Luna was still the same as when he left, her skin was pale as if it had long lost its temperature, and even her pale blonde hair seemed to have become dull. At first glance, people are very worried about whether she was "saved" by Maca.
And to be honest, Maca herself is actually quite apprehensive in her heart.
Even if the entire rescue plan was assumed, designed, and implemented by him, he was in danger of being erased at all times during the implementation period. But when it came to this important juncture when Luna's life and death were finally confirmed, the frequency of his heartbeat continued to increase.
There may be excitement about reuniting with the living Luna, but more than that, I believe it is still uneasy.
Perhaps, this is one of the reasons why Maca would say to little Shirley before, "You have to learn to be strong, you can't be as timid as your big brother".
However, there doesn't seem to be much time for him to hesitate right now.
After a slight pause on the edge of the couch and a glance at Delphi, who was lying on another couch next to her, Maca immediately hooked her finger at Luna's pocket. The next moment, I saw that something in the pocket immediately showed a head.
When Maca flicked her index finger again, a piece of paper suddenly came out of Luna's pocket, leaped into the air, and landed accurately in his hand.
This was the last moment that Maca put in her pocket before leaving the ward - it can be seen that a large number of lines and runes were densely drawn on it, and it was obviously a rune array with a specific purpose.
"Bang-"
Maca shook the piece of paper in her hand, and with a slight popping sound, an ordinary flame instantly devoured it and burned it out, turning into a few wisps of fly ash.
And at this moment, without the influence of that rune array, Luna's whole person suddenly seemed to regain a natural vitality.
I saw that the dull blonde hair had regained its brightness, the pale skin had a slight flush, and even the lips that had been somewhat dry looked much more moisturized.
Seconds later, Luna's chest dilated, and Maca heard her take a deep breath.
After Luna's eyelids rolled slightly a few times, a pair of silver-gray eyes finally appeared in Maca's field of vision again.
"Maca?"
Barely aware of everything she had been doing for the past few days, she half-sat up on the couch under her elbows.
“…… Luna, good morning. ”
Hearing this, Luna first looked left and right to confirm what the place was, and then stared at Maka's slightly tired face for a moment.
After more than ten seconds of silence, she suddenly showed a clear smile, and then reached out and gently patted the top of Maca's head.
"Good work."
No matter how smart Luna was, it was impossible to guess what Maca had done in the past two days. It's just that although she doesn't know exactly what happened, she understands what Maca needs most.
There is no doubt that he will need a relaxed smile and an affirmation from others at this time.
Luna Lovegood is a girl who seems to be able to see through people's hearts inadvertently.
However, even Luna couldn't have expected Maca's next move—just for a moment, she felt her entire vision darken, followed by a soft but firm hug.
"There's no smell on Maca's body."
At the moment when she was silently embraced, Luna still had time to think about such inconsequential things. But even so, the temperature that surrounded her made Lu really feel a real warmth.
She didn't move, she didn't speak, she didn't struggle, she just let Maca hold her so quietly. It wasn't long before Maca slowly let go of her and straightened up again in front of her.
"I'm going to France, would you like to come with me?"
Hearing Maca ask, Luna smiled and nodded as she looked at his eyes that had once again flashed with determination from the initial tiredness.
"If you wish."
……
Outside of London today, there is a clear sky.
When the gray fog of the city blocks the view and surrounds it with seemingly ubiquitous fighting, it is almost impossible to forget the present season.
The beauty of spring is something that few people hate.
With the warm air, the fresh and lush grass, and the colorful flowers, everything on the outskirts of the city seems to be full of life, and the scene in the city is like two worlds.
As soon as Maca came out of the fog with Luna, she suddenly felt that there was an open field in front of her, and the hillsides on both sides of the suburban road were full of intoxicating greenery at a glance.
It's a pity that I can't go out here with Luna for a leisurely outing this time. Although he did have the intention of letting Luna distract himself, he just called her by the way after a change of heart.
You know, he's not out to play today!
Maca turned to look at Luna, who was following her, and saw that she also seemed to have some regret on her face. Knowing that this girl likes the leisure of nature after all, Maca also reached out and rubbed her long pale blonde hair as if she wanted to "revenge" the other party's previous action of patting her head.
"Forget it this time, wait for the next time! Let me solve all those troublesome things, and I'll take a few of you together to find a big team that is traveling to join me! ”
As he spoke, he grabbed Luna's arm again, and then turned to say:
"Gone! Go to France. ”
Luna nodded, and in the next second, the two of them were in front of each other, and they were already behind the ornamental hedge by the gate of Fort Blois.
It was the early morning of the sun's departure from the eastern mountains, and there were not many tourists in the castle, which is now a tourist destination. As Maca and Luna walked inside, they saw men and women walking in twos and threes, discussing in whispers the changing architectural styles of the room.
A moment later, when Maca led Luna to the staircase where Willy had brought him, he paused to move on.
"If you have the chance to come on your own in the future, remember to tap the handrail of the stairs at the second step twice with your wand and you'll be on to the real Blois Castle."
As she spoke, Maca tapped her finger twice on it, and Luna saw the staircase turn from bottom to top into a beautiful crystal translucent staircase.
The two of them then climbed the stairs, losing a cent with each step, but the two Muggle tourists who happened to be not far away at this time were oblivious to this.
Soon, Maca and Luna were in front of the closed door upstairs.
"Mr. McLean!"
As soon as she got here, Maca immediately saw six wizard guards standing outside the door, and when they saw her, they immediately recognized him.
Maca didn't know French, but she understood her name. He nodded, then pointed to the door and signaled that he wanted to enter.
"I'm sorry, Mr. McLean...... Please wait here for a moment. ”
After one of the guards had said politely, Maca saw a man close to the door wave his wand to lift the protective spell, then slightly open the door and walk sideways.
Although there is no current scourge of riots in France, the fog of London has spread to many surrounding countries, and strengthening the garrison has naturally become the work of various families.
Without letting Maca and Luna wait, that is, after a few minutes, the old butler, who had already known Maca, appeared in front of the two of them.
"Mr. McLean, you...... How could you come here in person at this time? ”
"Well, there's something I have to do before I go head-to-head with Helmo." As she spoke, Maca naturally spread her arms and spread her hands, "Check it out!" I can understand that at this time, after all, you have to be careful. ”
"No need!"
The old butler was about to say something, when suddenly Maca heard the voice of Willy's father coming from inside the door.
"I'm all too familiar with your magic...... And if you want to fool me, you have to let Hayerbo estimate it. But if he really came, how could ordinary instruments be able to check it? ”
As Mr. Blois had said, even the inspection of the three temporary shelters in London was only directed at Helbo's men—Maca didn't expect to find out Helmpo himself with a few alchemy rods!
"Alright! Since you said so. ”
Maca lowered her arms and shrugged her shoulders, and then she saw Monsieur Blois, dressed in a magnificent wizard's robe, step out from behind the slowly opening door—Willy's father was still so temperamental, and just standing there would make ordinary people feel awe.
"Please come in! I don't dare treat you as a guest, just be casual......" Blois said with a smile, "Of course, you can do whatever you want, and if you want anything, just tell me." It is...... Remember to meet little Willy before leaving, don't go and don't even see anyone. ”
"Oh, no problem," Makadon nodded, "I'm here to meet them." ”
