Perhaps as Haierbo said, people who live longer may not necessarily become more and more dull to the concept of the passage of time.

Just like Maka, even if it were two lifetimes combined, the years he had spent were not even a fraction of the long life of Shelbo.

But today, he just felt that time flew by so fast that there was not enough time at all.

This afternoon, after Maca took Pansy and the others back to Chateau Blois in France, she immediately canceled her evening trip to the royal manor to continue the experiment.

In the afternoon and the whole night since he returned, he had been thinking about the reason why Haierbo went to kidnap Enns during the day.

However, no matter what angle Maka thought about it, this seemed to be a puzzling move. He didn't know what the hell Haierbo was thinking about, and he knew even better what inexplicable intentions that guy had.

He only knew that Haierbo's actions would definitely be malicious.

…

Late at night, in the upper bedroom of the tower where Maka lives.

"Well, I don't know what bad things Enns is going through right now."

While he was muttering so softly, he didn't realize that his hand holding the quill had stopped for a long time.

The candlestick in the corner of the desk swayed with bright magical flames, causing his shadow to sway on the wall, changing into various shapes that were both human and non-human.

The night is naturally quiet, and the darkness may occasionally make people feel a little on tenterhooks, but correspondingly, it makes it easier for people to immerse themselves in thinking.

Unfortunately, sometimes the reason why a certain question cannot be answered is simply because there is a lack of clues. In this case, no matter how suitable the environment is, it seems that in the end it will only make people unable to do anything.

.

At this moment, Maka seemed to suddenly notice something, and suddenly lowered her head and glanced at the bottom of her feet.

"Parkinson?"

It was this late at night, Pansy wasn't sleeping, so why did she come to him?

While Maka was thinking this, she casually closed the notes that had not been touched much since nightfall, then pushed away the chair and stood up.

Not long after, he heard footsteps gradually coming on the stairs outside the room, and then there was a knock on the door.

"Tuk-tuk."

After two careful knocks, the door to the room slowly opened under Maka's control.

"Professor Maclean."

Turning to look at Pansy standing at the door, Maka waved casually.

"Come in! It's so late, why are you coming to me?" He said, suddenly seeming to think of something, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, "Oh, is Malfoy awake?"

After returning here in the afternoon, Malfoy, who was barely saved by Maca, was sent directly to the medical care room of Castle Blois, where he received follow-up treatment from a therapist from the Blois family.

From that time on Pansy remained in the nursery, guarded by two servants of the Château de Blois.

To be honest, Malfoy was really badly injured this time. Even though he did not suffer any magical damage, the physical damage alone almost killed him.

"Yes, Professor." Pansy did not enter the door as instructed. After Maka finished speaking, she still stood at the door and said, "But I found that after he woke up, his consciousness still didn't seem to know that I had gone.

I asked the therapist to take a look at it, but he didn’t seem to understand very well.”

"Well?"

After hearing this, Maka quickly nodded again.

"He doesn't understand that it's just because he thinks too much. Malfoy's condition is simply caused by a certain amount of brain damage."

"Brain damage?"

Seeing Pansy's expression change from confusion to surprise, and then from surprise to worry, Maka immediately waved at her again.

"I think you'd better come in first! I'm too tired to talk to you like this."

Pansy didn't realize until this moment that Maka probably wouldn't rush to the ward to see Malfoy, so after hesitating for a while, she had no choice but to put aside her worries about Malfoy for the time being and walked in as she was told.

"sit down!"

Maka pointed to the sofa opposite, and then continued what she just said:

"Yes, it's a 'brain injury.' Although Malfoy's injury was very serious this time, especially after a large number of ribs were broken, some of the broken ribs punctured his heart and lungs on the spot. This was also the biggest reason why he almost died.

."

"However, no matter how serious the fatal injuries are, as long as the rescue is timely, it can only be solved with a few bottles of white essence and other magic potions. Instead, it was the impact on the back of his head..."

Having said this, Maka shrugged and said:

"The injury is actually not serious, but it is difficult for me to say what kind of impact it will have on him in the future, and whether it will be temporary or permanent."

Hearing what Maka said, Pansy, who had just carefully sat down on the sofa, couldn't help but stand up again.

"In other words," she said in astonishment, "Draco... might just spend his whole life like that, drooling at the corner of his mouth, living in a daze?"

"Yes," Maka nodded, "Of course, I can't tell when I will suddenly recover. Maybe tomorrow, maybe a few months later? I don't know."

"this"

Although Pansy had actually told herself a long time ago that by now, she could no longer care about Draco Malfoy. But now it seems that she may not be able to forget the boy who once occupied her mind and heart for many years.

.

However, after she calmed down again and thought about it for a while, she seemed to gradually start to feel more relaxed.

"Well," she pursed her lips and couldn't help but said quietly, "Maybe... this doesn't necessarily have to be a bad ending for Draco. At the very least, it must be better than him looking crazy.

It seems that the trouble of finding Haierbo is much greater."

In response, Maka could only shake her head slightly helplessly.

"Who says it's not?"

…

As for Malfoy's situation, Maka is actually not qualified to make an evaluation.

After experiencing repeated setbacks, the other person has completely lost his way in his life.

In fact, given Malfoy's original temperament, he was able to reflect to some extent after the initial incident with Voldemort. But everything that followed would only make him more confused and confused.

And this, to put it bluntly, is all the result of Maka's own actions.

So, after that, Maka didn't talk to Pansy about Malfoy anymore. He just chatted with the somewhat upset girl for a while, and then let the other person go back to rest.

Then, it wasn't until the early morning of the next day that Enns' unexpected return made him put aside many thoughts and focus on the matter in front of him again.
