This is an urgent letter.

Judging from the owl's current state, just the remnants of the magic spell used for long-distance flights, and its panting state, Maka knew that it had not only flown a long distance, but also flown very fast.

And if we recall what has happened recently, then this letter comes from two places.

One of them may be Mr. Akinbad, the president of the Federation; as for the other, it is likely to be a letter sent from Fort Blois in France.

Moreover, no matter which party it is, the news that will be mentioned in this urgent letter must be related to the basilisk.

Of course, Maka would obviously prefer this to be a letter from the old man Ajinbad.

It's a pity that sometimes when you are faced with two options and want to choose one, the answer that always comes is the one you don't want so much.

With just a flash of thought, Maka reached out to take the envelope from the owl's mouth, and then saw the neat words "Mr. Maka McClain" on it.

He glanced at it and quickly realized:

"This is Willy's father's handwriting."

Immediately, Maka quickly pulled out the letter while frowning slightly.

Sure enough, the first line of words that struck everyone was:

"The basilisk is in Monaco."

It seems that after the basilisk wandered around Sicily, Italy, it did not continue to go far on land, but rushed straight into the sea again.

As for Monaco... as an independent country that is completely wrapped in the territorial waters and territory of France, its area is surprisingly small. The Basilisk re-entering the beach this time is actually equivalent to stepping into France.

Of course, it’s still far away from Chateau Blois!

In addition, what is more worth mentioning is that this letter from Mr. Blois is really an "urgent letter". Except for the line of words that Maca saw at first glance, the rest of the letter paper was extremely stingy.

A word came down.

"……'rest assured'?"

Maka chewed the word gently, the look of hesitation on her face getting darker.

The word Mr. Blois said was naturally based on the self-confidence of the long-established Blois family. In addition, his own magical talent far exceeded that of ordinary wizards. It is natural to say this.

But, if he said don't worry, can Maka really feel relieved?

After a moment of contemplation, Maka secretly made a decision. After he casually wrote the word "understand" in the blank space at the bottom of the letter paper, he tore off the half of the paper, stood up, and walked outside the auditorium door.

go.

When he arrived at the door, he suddenly waved his hand and sent a signal in the direction of the Forbidden Forest. Then he could see a very fast figure suddenly emerge from the forest and arrive in front of him in the blink of an eye.

Maka reached out and picked it up on her forearm - it was obviously the owl Mafa that had been with him for almost six years.

"Send it to Chateau Blois, France, and hand it over to Mr. Blois, and then you don't have to come back. If you find any danger there, notify me immediately."

He folded the note he had just written and put it into the owl's anklet. Then he raised his hand and threw it into the sky. Not long after, it disappeared from the distant sky.

He was undoubtedly using his original decision, that is - unless Haierbo appeared, he would not act rashly.

As for how to know in time whether Herbo is also in France, we have to rely on the always perceptive owl Mafa.

Speaking of which, Mafa secretly informed him several times in the past, allowing him to take care of the situation as much as possible. I just hope it can be the same this time!

"No, Mafa, it's actually best if you make this trip in vain." Maka looked at the sky in the distance and couldn't help but think this way.

…

At the same time, Castle of Blois.

If the British magical world has been peaceful recently with a hint of stormy weather, then the French magical world is undoubtedly experiencing clear skies.

Due to the lightning-fast deployment of the Blois family's personnel, only some people are still aware of the Basilisk's landing in Monaco.

Even Weili's father was still leaning against the window of the study room, watching his daughter and the children sent over by Maka enjoying today's lunch with a smile on his face.

As for the Basilisk, he must still be in the foothills on the border of Monaco, playing hide and seek with the family wizard he sent there!

"Cathy, don't be busy feeding little Delphi now. Eat something yourself! Just let me do this!"

The weather was very nice today, so the old housekeeper decided to have lunch in the garden below.

So, everyone sat around a big table and ate happily while basking in the sun.

Among these friends who have become increasingly close, only Willie and Helen are slightly older. And it is usually Helen who is responsible for taking care of the still young Delphi.

However, probably because of Maka's original warning, little Cathy, who has a mature heart, always likes to keep her by her side.

"It's okay, Helen." Cathy turned her head with the spoon and said with a smile, "Little Delphi is very sensible, and she can finish feeding her after just a few mouthfuls."

After saying that, she scooped another spoonful of egg custard and blew it before sending it into the mouth of little Delphi next to her. In this picture, she really looked like a good and conscientious mother - no matter how you look at it

She is just a child.

"Don't try to persuade her, Cathy really likes these things! Look at her, doesn't she look like a mother?"

As one of the children who was saved by Maka said this, the others also laughed.

But to be honest, it is not easy for these children who have lost their mothers to laugh at such a time.

Thinking about how I couldn't speak more than three sentences all day long, now that I think about it, it feels like a dream.

"Eat quickly! We should go and prune the flowers later."

Willie said this abruptly, which immediately made everyone laugh louder.

"Weili, don't worry about your flowers and plants all the time! Why don't you think of something else?"

"Something else?" When Willy heard this, she couldn't help but pursed her lips and thought for a long time, then hesitantly said, "Then let's write a letter to Maka again?"

Since the blood curse was completely removed by Maka, she no longer needs to be sealed, and her expressions are obviously much more. It's just that she has been expressionless and taciturn for a long time, which still makes it difficult for her to put all her emotions on her face.

Go up.

Nowadays, it is easier for people to think of Weili as an introverted and shy little girl.

Seeing that everyone was still laughing after hearing her suggestion, she couldn't help but twist her mouth in distress.

"I... like plants."

"And Maka." Little Cathy, who was sitting at the other end, raised her head when she heard the sound, and joined everyone in teasing Willie, who was slightly embarrassed.

But this time, Weili did not know what to say as before. Instead, she said extremely seriously:

"I also like Maka...but it's just like a best friend. You have all been helped by Maka, so in this regard...don't cause any trouble for him."

Because she didn't talk much, her words were a bit choppy, but she still insisted on saying everything she wanted to say.

Finally, she specifically pointed out:

"You have to understand that Maka has someone she likes."

In fact, it can be seen from these words. Although Willie is not good at words and her attention is always focused on her precious plants, it does not mean that she does not understand anything.

As a bystander for many years, she may see some things more clearly than anyone else.

At this moment, I actually need to mention one more thing - Mr. Blois, who was watching from the castle tower, actually heard these words of Willy.

"'Best friend'..." Willie's father shook his head at the window and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Although I really want to hand over Fort Blois to McClain, but

...Weili is right!"

To be honest, Mr. Blois has wanted Maca as his son-in-law a long time ago, and he still hopes to recruit him into the Blois family to inherit the family business for him.

Not to mention anything else, with Maka's overall view and ability to deal with people, even if she doesn't have strong magical power, she can probably continue to prosper the Blois family.

However, it is precisely because of this. If coupled with the extremely terrifying magical talent, that is the first family in France, the Chateau de Blois, I am afraid it will only restrict his growth.

"It's true... just don't cause any trouble for him!"

Thinking about the urgent letter he just sent to Maca not long ago, Mr. Blois became even more determined to keep the basilisk in the French magical world.

And at this moment, he saw a silver-white cheetah patron saint flying straight towards this side from the sky, and in a blink of an eye, it rushed through the window and landed at his feet.

Immediately afterwards, he heard the patron saint begin to speak.

"Master, the basilisk on the border of Monaco is more powerful than expected! In particular, it can spit out a very special kind of poisonous mist, which is not only impossible to blow away, but also extremely poisonous - there are already several of us here

Injured. Therefore, although we are very careful to avoid a head-on confrontation with it, it is also difficult to stop it because of the presence of poisonous fog, so we need to find a way!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the cheetah patron saint immediately disappeared automatically, leaving Mr. Blois alone leaning against the window, silently lost in thought.

In fact, judging from what the patron saint brought, the situation at the Monaco border is not that bad, and only a few people have been injured since the interception in the morning.

However, since it is difficult to stop it because of the poisonous fog, it means that it is impossible to hide from it and consume its energy. And this is not a good start in Mr. Blois's plan. (To be continued)
