Maka needed to strengthen his heart, so he went to Xenophilius and sat down with him to chat quietly for a while.

Yes, he came to chat with the other party, and he could talk about anything. Because maybe only when facing Luna's only close relative, he could temporarily put aside his two defeats, and even more

Are you determined and more confident to start this third trip to save Luna?

After all, only he knew his own affairs, and having faced Luna's death twice in a row made him, a "coward" who still forced himself to remain calm on the surface, very scared.

He could only come to see Xenophilius and promise him that "Maka McClane will definitely protect Luna Lovegood", using this oath to fill the cracks in his heart.

If he didn't continue to strengthen his mental defense like this, this guy named "Maka McLean" might eventually collapse... On a certain page of the original "Book of Sin", it was clearly recorded that

This has never happened, but that doesn't mean it won't happen again.

"I know, and I believe what the kid said... So, what else? Did he just ask you to tell me this?"

Is Maka's promise important? Of course it is! But compared to that promise, there seems to be something more important behind it that has not been said, isn't it?

Although Xenophilius has always been a bit confused and clumsy, apart from the strange research he loves, he also has the most basic common sense and understanding.

Especially, once something will be related to his daughter.

When everything around him was surrounded by dangers, Makar McLean suddenly sent someone to promise him that he would protect his daughter. This sudden and unusual situation would probably make even the stupidest person think about it.

So Xenophilius now wants to know, what happened to his daughter...?

Unfortunately, it was obviously impossible for Maka to explain the situation to the other party.

It was impossible for him to tell Xenophilius that Luna was facing the crisis of death; it was even less possible for him to tell Xenophilius that Luna had actually "died" twice; it was even impossible for him to tell him,

Right now Luna is actually in the central square not far from here.

He could not say any unnecessary words, unless he was tired of living and wanted to challenge the seemingly eternal majesty of the rules of time head-on.

Therefore, he is only here to chat, and he can only be here to chat.

"I don't know, Mr. MacLean didn't tell me much..."

Maka sat by the window, looked out at the empty alley, and sighed softly.

"You know, for all this, he is very busy... and he looks very tired. He has too many things to do, and there are too many people waiting for him to save."

He said, suddenly paused, and then continued: "But even so, as long as Miss Lovegood is in danger, he will rush to her side immediately. Although, maybe even he himself is not sure, he

What is it for?"

While Maka was mumbling these words in front of Xenophilius, she was lost in thought and seemed a little absent-minded.

To be honest, he may have forgotten that he still maintained the disguised appearance.

Fortunately, I don't know if Xenophilius is really slow in this regard, or if his mind has been completely filled with his daughter's affairs, and he didn't seem to notice these slight abnormalities in Maka for a while.

After a moment of silence, he seemed to have recalled something and said slowly:

"I understand... If it's McClain, I can still rest assured. What's more, Luna's kid seems to finally have something she wants to do."

Xenophilius was undoubtedly a very special man. Although he was saddened by the death of his wife, he did not regret it.

Because he believed that his wife, who loved studying magic spells all her life, would never regret it until the last moment of her life.

But now, when his daughter Luna also has her own direction in life, all Xenophilius can do is to silently support her behind her back.

but……

"What does she want to do?"

When Xenophilius said this, Maka was confused. Maybe during this period, all he thought about was how to deal with Herbo, so he even forgot to "take a look" and "listen to it"

Listen to "Luna's heart."

And Xenophilius...he is Luna's father after all. Even if there are few opportunities to see his daughter recently, he can detect certain changes in Luna better than Maka.

"Yes!" Xenophilius thought for a while and said, "Sir, please tell McClain! Just say... I believe him, just like the kid Luna must also believe him."

This is probably the most solemn sentence Maca has ever heard from Xenophilius since he first met him... Yes, even those weird arguments he wrote in "The Quibbler"

It's far behind.

"Okay," Maka paused, then nodded, "He will hear this, I promise."

Since then, in this small living room, Maca talked a lot with Xenophilius. But this time, he was not strengthening his will and confidence, because he only relied on what he had just dealt with.

That sentence was probably enough to stop his heart from being shaken.

So in the following time, he was just waiting for a certain opportunity to come.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly, a burst of messy footsteps mixed with noisy voices came from the street outside the alley.

…

This unchanging fact is still happening, and the young wizards who have been persuaded are gathering in the central square one after another just like Maka has experienced in the "past".

At this moment, Luna has not re-entered the mercury statue. After all, even if she finds it interesting there, she can't do anything yet and just staying in it is boring.

"Neville...Hermione looks very busy? Don't we need to go help her?"

Behind the statue, Luna and Neville were looking at the growing crowd in the square, discussing in a low voice. At the moment, Hermione, Ginny, and the girl they didn't know, Lola, were gathering in the crowd.

He shuttled back and forth, trying to maintain order among the crowds.

When Luna asked, Neville hesitated for a moment, but quickly shook his head.

"Should we say goodbye? I think...not only could we not be able to help them in the past, but we would also cause trouble for them."

"Oh, is it so?"

When Luna heard this, she couldn't help but tilt her head, as if she was seriously considering the possibility mentioned by Neville. After a moment, she nodded solemnly and said:

"It seems to be true!"
