Maka called Delphi to say something, but few people knew yet. Everyone only saw two people entering a certain tent one after another, and then Maka walked out alone.

After that, Maka left the camp alone, and no one knew where he went.

Of course, no one knew the content of his conversation with Delphi, but there were two people who knew the reason why he left the ranch.

When Hermione and Luna woke up in a daze in the tent on the hillside, the blanket Maka put on their shoulders quietly slipped off with their movements.

"Maka is gone?"

"Going back to London?"

The two girls rubbed their eyes, looked around, and soon realized that Maka had probably gone to London to look for the missing Barlow Stewart.

"Luna, how long do you think he's been gone?"

Hearing Hermione's casual question, Luna immediately turned to look at the clock. When she saw that the hour hand was pointing between "3" and "4", she thought about it and said immediately:

"About half an hour? When he has something to do, he often doesn't sleep for a long time. He usually gets up and does things after three hours...and when there is nothing else to do, he prefers to stay in bed. He has to use

Only the 'Purong Rong Alarm Clock' can wake him up."

"Oh," Hermione pursed her lips and couldn't help but whisper, "You really know him... So, what is the 'Plump Alarm Clock'?"

"I'll give it a try next time and you'll see. It's a very effective alarm clock!" Luna said happily, "It's just that, Hermione, you don't seem to need an alarm clock..."

After discovering that Maka had left, the content of the two's chat still sounded very relaxed, as if they didn't care too much. But if someone listened next to them sentence by sentence, they would realize that the topics they talked about were almost irrelevant.

With one exception, they all revolve around Maka.

…

Stewart's disappearance cannot be left alone. Even Hermione and even Luna understand this. It's just because of personal emotional factors. In fact, they don't want Maka to take that risk in their hearts, so they simply avoid it.

Don't talk.

And even Luna, who has never cared much about the world, understands the truth. Maka has naturally known it for a long time. In fact, from the time when the group of American wizards went to Lupin to tell Lupin about this matter, Maka was doomed.

It’s time to go to London again.

And now, having returned to the edge of the fog area not long after, he couldn't help but feel a little pressure.

"Anyway, let's try first to see if we can go inside and look for someone without being discovered by that big black guy!"

If he could bring the person out without fighting the devil, that would obviously be the best. To be honest, before he really figured out a way to defeat the opponent, he didn't want to run and risk a lot of trouble.

Danger brings trouble.

Not long after, Maka, who used various methods to hide his existence, finally quietly re-entered the fog-filled area...

It can be felt that the air in the city of London is still flowing. From time to time, a gust of wind will gently pass by on the streets, bringing a bit of coldness to people in the gloomy atmosphere different from the outside.

But even if it is windy from time to time, the gray mist remains motionless. Now that even the source of the mist no longer exists, there is no reason for these gray mists, which are not affected by the airflow at all, to move.

As a result, the gusts of dark wind contrasted with the stillness of the gray fog, making there always be an unsettling sense of dissonance when one is in it.

Maka restrained her breath and walked along the street to the avenue close to the city center, and the huge shadow standing in front of her became deeper and deeper.

Of course, Maka knew very well what that shadow was, because it was originally brought to the streets of London by himself.

That is the Monument of Bewitchment.

After Maka summoned it, she stayed there and never touched it again. After all, only he could barely use the thing now, and for others, even for Haierbo, it was just a very obstructive piece of equipment.

, and it’s just an indestructible black rock.

"That guy...where is he?"

From the edge of the fog to the center of the city, Maka never sensed the existence of the principal of Ilvermorny. Not only that, he never encountered the demon even once along the way, which led to his

Until now, I still don't know if my concealment method can prevent the other party from noticing my existence.

It's just... maybe even if we haven't met each other yet, this can already be considered a success?

After more than ten minutes, Maka finally walked closer to the Monument of Bewitchment. He looked at the block that was severely damaged due to the previous battle, and then looked at the city that had become darker because of the obstruction of the monument.

Street, couldn't help but frowned.

In fact, the main reason why Maka came here was because he felt that this might be a good place for Stuart to avoid demon attacks. Because there is not only a large ruins here, but also a huge shadow area, which happens to be suitable for Stuart.

The kind of shadow magic exerts excellent effects.

What's more worth mentioning is that this huge black monument that suddenly appeared in the city center is very suspicious after all, which makes Maka think that Stewart may be attracted to take a look.

"Mr. Stewart, are you here?"

He glanced a few more times at the shadow of the giant monument on the ground, trying to find any trace of the other party hiding here. But since he couldn't easily use magic to detect it, he wanted to see if he was there in the shadow.

I don't understand shadow magic, so it's not a simple thing.

But at least, there is obviously no magic wave spreading in this shadow, this is a fact.

After carefully sensing it, Maka shook his head, turned around, and wanted to leave here to look elsewhere. But when Maka turned his head, a trace of magic power suddenly came from behind him, causing him to recover.

I turned around again.

Immediately, he saw a figure emerging from the shadow closer to the stone monument, and slowly rising from it.

"Mr. McClain, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you here for a long time."

"...Mr. Stewart."

Maka turned around completely, and after staring at the other person for a while, she slightly frowned and said:

"Wait for me? Why wait for me?"

I have to say that Stewart's shadow magic is indeed wonderful. Not only is it very suitable for hiding oneself, but judging from the opponent's previous battles, it has the characteristics of both offense and defense.

Of course, now is not the time to ponder this special magic. The problem right now is that the other party's statement seems worthy of everyone's further investigation.

Because it is obvious that Mr. Stewart's "disappearance" seems to be inseparable from his Maca McClain.

"'why?"

Opposite me, Stewart took a good look at Maka again, and then heard him suddenly say:

"McLean...or Maca, let me tell you the truth. The main purpose of my coming to London this time is not to help you survive this disaster, but to come here specifically to see you."

"Um?"

Stuart's words, which were not oblique at all, gave Maka more doubts about why she came to see him specifically? What was she doing to come to him specifically when this disaster was in front of her?

"Sir, if you don't mind, I think you can finish your words first. After that, maybe we can discuss the specific content. What do you think?"

"Of course," Stuart nodded immediately after hearing this, "Actually, it's not difficult to explain this matter, because I just want to ask you a few questions."

"please."

Maka spread her hands, indicating that he could start at any time.

However, what the other party said next was really shocking, and even Maka, who had always been calm, couldn't help but be stunned for a long time.

Then Stewart suddenly said:

"I want to know if you are my son."
