Haierbo's various actions have always been unpredictable.

Although at the beginning, Maka caught him off guard several times before he could adapt to this era. But even then, Maka only had the advantage on the surface.

And after Haierbo saw through his and Old Eun's plan and guided the meteorite to Hogwarts, this guy's whereabouts became more and more erratic.

Therefore, since the intelligence available for analysis is never enough to deduce Haierbo's true intentions, Maka's response cannot be targeted and can only rely on the most complete strategy possible.

But there is no doubt that when facing an enemy that will constantly resurrect, it is obviously meaningless to drag all overt and covert confrontations into a protracted war.

"Herbo, I heard that you were in France before, and you ran away without hesitation. Although I don't know what you are busy with, but that is probably not a good thing for me..."

Maka raised the shiny staff in her hand and kept saying:

"So, take your hands away from your basilisk! Let's not talk about you alone. If you still want to leave me with the basilisk...are you looking down on me too much?"

Before he finished speaking, Maka suddenly waved his hand, and the Acromantulas gathered in the waterway began to move and retreated further away.

But when Haierbo heard this, he just smiled briskly.

"Oh, no!" He curled his lips in the darkness and said leisurely, "That's not enough... you may be able to see that I'm just treating it. Your cooling rules have damaged its nerves.

, if we don’t cure it as soon as possible, there will be sequelae!”

Having said this, Haierbo suddenly shrugged again and said:

"Yes, I know what you are thinking... Yes, it will have other uses in the future. I can't bear to let it turn into a crippled basilisk."

"snort."

Maka couldn't help but sneered when she heard what he said.

"That means you are even more reluctant to let me take her away from you...is that right?"

"……'she'?"

At this point in the conversation, Haierbo finally raised his eyebrows, then nodded slightly and said:

"Ha! You are indeed the young man I am most optimistic about in this era! In such a short period of time, have you already noticed such an important thing? Well... this is not good. Originally, I wanted to give it to you

What a surprise! Doesn’t this make the future boring?”

After saying this, Haierbo suddenly took back the hand that was pressing on the basilisk, and then folded his hands and stroked it a few times.

"Although your performance is indeed worthy of praise - especially your understanding of the rules of the soul, which is really surprising. But, well... how boring is it too early? I think you should wait a little longer.

wait!"

However, the moment Halbo said these words, Maka suddenly cast several spells on his face. He had a hunch that this guy wanted to run away again.

Moreover, judging from Haierbo's next actions, his judgment is undoubtedly correct.

Seeing that Maka's spell was quickly put into effect, Haierbo also quickly wiped the basilisk's body with his backhand, and a space wave suddenly appeared out of thin air from where the two were.

Unfortunately, Maka's advance arrangement made his spatial movement suddenly ineffective.

"Well?"

Haierbo immediately stopped what he was doing and saw him looking around, then gently shaking his head.

"This is called the 'Anti-Apparition Curse', right?" He said, "Well, after spending some time analyzing the so-called 'curses' of this era one by one. Sometimes I have to admit that these novelties

The use of rules does have certain benefits - at least for those who don't have much talent, casting magic is not that difficult."

But Maka knew that the space rules contained in the Anti-Apparition Curse were not even superficial, it was just superficial. But just by being linked to the space rules, it had the value of use.

As Maka said before, it would be difficult for him to prevent Haierbo from leaving on his own in a short period of time, but if he wanted to take such a huge basilisk away, it would definitely be a big burden for Haierbo.

For ancient wizards like the other party, space movement is a very complicated magic. Even if they only touch the most basic space rules, it is not something that ordinary people can use.

As for Haierbo's understanding of modern magic spells at this moment, Maka just heard about it and let it go.

Even though Haierbo's own strength is indeed quite astonishing, and his research on the rules of the soul and some of the rules of nature is extremely in-depth, Maka always disagrees with the views that arise when these old and new ideas collide.

Human energy is limited, and even if it takes a lifetime, it is difficult to achieve success in all aspects. Even an old guy like Haierbo who refuses to die has not been seen to be very versatile so far.

And when one can only focus on a certain point, modern spells, a kind of magic that does not require deep explanations, become an excellent and practical supplementary method.

Because of this, even wizards with strong magical talents still have a need for modern magic spells, right?

Maka ignored Helbo's personal remarks and listened to him directly:

"Look! As I said, you can't just take her away. If you have to leave, you might as well...just leave how you came!"

"Oh, I can see that you are very confident."

Haierbo was not angry because he could not leave with the basilisk. He still smiled and said:

"Yes, a true wizard should remain firm at all times. If you don't even believe in yourself, then what else can you believe in?"

But at this point, Haierbo suddenly raised his hand again and pointed slightly to the top of his head.

Now that there was no magic lighting, the sewer was once again plunged into darkness. But he didn't care, as if he knew that Maka could easily "see" his movements.

"However, as a wizard, you are still not very qualified after all." Haierbo's tone was suddenly mixed with a bit of inexplicable regret, "You know? A real wizard not only needs to 'believe'

yourself', you must also 'just believe in yourself'..."

After a short pause, he said emphatically:

"For wizards like us who are walking on the road of exploring the mysteries of magic, some emotions are simply unnecessary!"

Maka could tell that Halbo's words were indeed from the heart. As for "Despicable Halbo", a famous dark wizard in ancient Greece, his concept of life was indeed like this.

But the question is, why did he say these words to Maka?

Is it just a kind of catharsis after being bored underground for too long? Or is it a kind of sharing and showing off after achieving something and gaining something?

No, Haierbo's reasons for saying these words are probably not so "boring".

Maka has never had much prejudice against Haierbo from the beginning to the end - he doesn't like Haierbo, and even hates it, but some of his views on Haierbo have always been judged from a neutral perspective.

And it is precisely because of never being biased that Maka can peel off the cocoon of the more real "Helbo" and see it clearly bit by bit.

So he understood that when looking at this ancient dark wizard regardless of all standards of good and evil, a series of principles would become the benchmark for interpreting his various behaviors.

For example, Halbo's words now may be because he sincerely wants Maka to understand his ideas and agree with them.

After all, in this era, there are really not many people who can understand his words. Before certain opportunities come, he also really wants to have someone he can talk to, even if there is something between them after all.

some irreconcilable contradictions.

Unfortunately, Maca and Helbo's ideas are fundamentally different, let alone the possibility of mutual agreement.

"Okay!" Maka twitched the corner of her mouth and frowned, "Although I had expected that you might use this to threaten me... because this is not the first time you have done this. But can you do it?

Do you think that after suffering a loss once, I will still be unprepared for this situation?"

After saying this, Maka also raised her head seemingly casually.

The current situation is actually very clear. Halbo is using London above the ground as a hostage to threaten Maca to stop. And based on the previous situation, his purpose is probably to leave safely with the basilisk.

To be honest, with Maka blocking him here, it would be difficult for him to take the basilisk away, not to mention that there was an equally powerful windbreaker wizard behind Maka silently watching.

Speaking of which, the reason why Maka discovered the basilisk hiding in the sewers of London today was really just a coincidence.

It is estimated that Haierbo's idea of ​​hiding the basilisk here comes from the eternal saying "the most dangerous place is the safest place"!

However, Maka's senior sister Christine sacrificed her life in exchange for Haierbo's mistake, which exposed the basilisk to Maka in advance.

It can be seen that in this world, accidents always come unexpectedly. It gives everyone a fair opportunity, often regardless of good or evil.

After hearing Maca's "kind reminder", Haierbo finally sneered slightly.

After all, he was here to deal with this accident today - just the fact that the basilisk was discovered by Maka was enough to make him dissatisfied, and it was difficult for him to show it until now.

"McLean," Haierbo finally said coldly, "So, you have made up your mind today that you are not going to let me take her away... Even if I can tell you clearly, her use is not at all

It has nothing to do with you?" (To be continued)
