harry potter book of crimes

Although the black market often seems a bit cold, it is located underground, so it is obviously impossible for an ice storm to suddenly blow up.

Of course, even if the wizards of the Werther family were in trouble, they would not regard this biting coldness as a natural phenomenon.

"who!"

Such a fierce cold wind forced all of them to stop attacking Hermione and others. Even the leading steward of the Witte family, who seemed to always have some spare energy, could only ask hastily at this moment.

After that, he could only hurriedly cast a protective spell to resist.

And until everyone on the other side was forced to stop, Maka paused her staff and stopped the biting cold current.

However, I saw that even though the cold wind had stopped, there were still ice crystals and snowflakes falling leisurely in the alley, giving this corner of the underground world a feeling of winter.

"Okay, I think everyone has calmed down a bit, so..."

Maka stood between the four Hermiones and the wizards of the Witte family, leaning on her staff and looking at the male and female wizards opposite. Although his tone seemed to be quite gentle, the expression on his face was different from the ice crystals floating around.

It seems to match well. They are all equally chilly.

After a short pause, he continued:

"So, regarding the attack on our school students in the black market... I think it is necessary for you to give me an explanation... Ah! Sorry, there is one thing I seem to have forgotten to say."

Before he finished speaking, a thin sheet of ice suddenly condensed on the ground in the alley, and spread rapidly along the alley. In just a few seconds, all the wizards on the opposite side were unable to dodge, and the soles of their shoes were frozen to the ground.

.

And at that moment, the wizard at the end who was sneaking back suddenly couldn't lift his feet. His center of gravity was unbalanced, and he fell to the ground covered with ice with a "bang".

"...I hope you will remember not to move when I am talking."

"ah"

Because when the wizard fell, he subconsciously used his hands to support the ground, and the cooling rules were obviously not merciful to anyone. The ice that was enough to freeze the soles of a person's shoes instantly, even with his support at that time

The palms of the ground were also frozen.

Listening to the miserable wailing echoing in the alley, none of the other wizards dared to move. Because when they heard Maka's last sentence, they had already realized that the person standing in front of them at this moment

This young wizard is undoubtedly Maka McClane of Hogwarts.

"Oh, I seem to have forgotten to say don't touch the frost on the ground directly with your hands," Maka looked directly at the wizards on the other side and said calmly, "This is just like don't lick the metal railings with your tongue in winter, although that

It may be a little sweet, but it will stick!"

"...Who could be so boring? Uh...is it really sweet?"

Abruptly, Ron behind Maka couldn't help but murmured in a low voice, but he only received Hermione's usual fierce glare in return.

Maka turned around and rolled her eyes at him.

"You can try it another day."

However, at the moment when he turned his head slightly, two green lights suddenly shot out from the crowd of Werther family and flew straight towards him.

"Avada Kedavra"

Obviously, although the two people were not able to use the silent spell technique on the life-killing spell, they had already made the sound of chanting the spell as soft as possible. And looking at the flying speed of the two green magic beams,

It can be seen that the opponent's strength is really good.

But unfortunately, even in this thick mist with strange effects, it is not possible for them to successfully attack Maka.

I only saw that the green light had just reached the road, and two ice crystals suddenly condensed and formed out of thin air. The next second, accompanied by two crisp explosions, the pale green light particles were mixed with a large number of broken ice splashes.

Come on.

After blocking the two life-killing curses, Maka turned back expressionlessly and looked coldly at the two guys who dared to sneak attack behind him.

"What, your Witte family... are you planning to formally declare war on me?"

"Not the two of them"

"Shut up."

Before the two attackers could speak, Maka heard two urgent and short voices in succession, and their brief conversation slightly attracted his attention.

"Huh?" A trace of hesitation flashed in Maka's eyes, "'not' what? Oh, could it be that..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stretched out his staff and pulled it back.

It was just a simple floating spell, but it exerted the power of a control spell in his hands, restraining the two wizards who had attacked him before, and suddenly dragged them out.

"I think you are trying to say...these two are not actually from the Witte family?"

The wizard who was stopped by the family steward did not answer this time, but the expression on his lips that was trying to endure made his inner thoughts clear.

Beside him, the steward of the Werther family knew that there was no point in hiding it any longer, but he still had no intention of explaining. He just looked away slightly and said nothing.

At this moment, one of the two wizards who was pulled in front of Maka and fell to the ground couldn't help but said loudly:

"The Witte family? It's ridiculous... We are Mr. Helper's apprentices! How could we be members of an ancient wizard family that doesn't deserve their name?" The man was talking, and suddenly said harshly, "McLean, maybe I am now skilled

You are not as good as human beings, but if you don’t kill me today, I will definitely let you know who is truly strong in the future!”

However, before Maka could react, another one of them suddenly rushed to say without even looking at his still arrogant companion:

"Mr. McClain, don't listen to the stupid words of this fool... What's 'we'? I have nothing to do with him. I just... was held by Haierbo for his life, and I only obeyed his orders as a last resort!"

"What did you say? Damn it, you are such a coward, why did the teacher accept you, a bastard with no bottom line..."

Listening to the sudden quarrel between the two people in front of her, Maka couldn't help but shake her head.

"It seems that Haierbo is really cold-blooded and can take anyone under his wing!" He said with a bit of laughter, "Is the manpower shortage already like this?"

But saying that, this is actually a doubt in Maka's heart. As a real ancient wizard who pursues the pinnacle of magic, could he be so hasty when selecting apprentices?

No, after all, this guy seems to have recruited too many apprentices. Think about how many witches and wizards Maka has seen during this period of time who call Haierbo "teacher"?

What’s even more suspicious is that none of these self-proclaimed “apprentices” seem to have received any real guidance on self-improvement. Although each of them has pretty good talents, their strength can be said to be outstanding among ordinary wizards.

That kind of thing, but it really doesn’t match up with Haierbo’s name.

Although most of the wizard apprentices in ancient times had to go through a long period of doing odd jobs, but now we are in modern times, and Haierbo, who is short of manpower, why doesn't he give them some guidance and then let them go to work?

Maybe... it's not that Haierbo didn't accept real apprentices, but those students who are worthy enough to accept his magic theory are currently undergoing more training?

Thinking of this, he suddenly waved his hand and swept the two of them directly to the wall beside the alley, and gave each of them a full body binding spell.

Regardless of whether these guys are "covers" released by Haierbo, or they actually have other uses. Anyway, in Maka's opinion, all of them should be brought back for interrogation and research, and finally all of them should be sent to prison.

.

Immediately afterwards, he turned his head again and said to the wizards of the Witte family:

"You guys... To be honest, it's not of much use if I leave you here. Go back! Tell your old family master for me that I will 'visit' your Werther family's mansion as soon as possible... In addition,

I'll call back all the carriages that are wandering around in the black market! Don't even think about making any small moves."

After that, Maka waved her hand suddenly, and the ice on the ground disappeared instantly. But the guy who tried to sneak away before was probably unable to use his hands now, and even whether he could be cured was a question.

.

The wizards didn't say anything more, and hurriedly lifted the injured man up, leaving the two Haierbo apprentices behind and left without looking back.

"Maka, just... let them go back like this? Isn't it too easy for them?"

Hearing Ron complaining behind her, Maka turned around and was about to say something, when Hermione suddenly came over and whispered:

"What do you know! Didn't you feel that that family was suspicious of our attack this time? They were obviously merciful to us at the beginning! It wasn't until these two guys came later..."

Having said this, she turned her head to look at the two wizards who were lying next to the wall, and couldn't help but give each other an angry look.

"As soon as they arrived, they immediately started ruthlessly. If Luna hadn't been there, one of us might have been hit by the death curse! You know, the magic shield can't stop the damage of the death curse at all...

…”

Hearing what Hermione said, Maka couldn't help but turn his head and glanced at them coldly again. Then, he looked at Hermione and the four of them again, frowning slightly.

"You too... I have read the letter, and I understand your eagerness." He said, "But can't you think about running out to find someone after searching for me carefully?"

"What's more, you guys have obviously gone to Sirius, why don't you discuss it with them before making a decision? Don't tell me, you're just afraid of causing trouble to him?"
