"well"

Barbre was lying on the soft bed, with his hands behind his head, looking at the exquisite carvings on the ceiling, and let out a long sigh.

This long sigh of suppressed emotions was for no other reason than that the "plan" he had just heard from the prince made him feel helpless.

"Getting the final formula from a wizard as powerful as Mr. MacLean? His Highness and Mr. Davidson... what kind of joke is this?"

At the moment, although this sentence is just lingering in Barbre's mind and has not actually been spoken out, you can tell just by looking at his increasingly depressed expression how distressed he is.

Yes, it turns out that for some reason, the first heir to the British royal family is actually planning to get Maca's magic potion formula. He is naturally referring to the finished product formula after the experiment is completely successful.

However, to obtain such an important thing from a wizard with both wisdom and strength, even a "former Muggle" like Barbre who had just been exposed to magic knew how difficult it was.

However, after all, this was a plan that was revealed by the prince himself. Even when Barbray learned about this plan, he felt somewhat forced and helpless.

But for Barbray, who has not yet broken away from his identity as a "royal guard"...it seems that the only option is "bite the bullet and do it", right?

What's more, the benefits the prince promised him later really made him quite excited.

"well!"

After thinking about it, Barbre couldn't help but sigh heavily. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it would be a dream to succeed in this kind of plan!

"Let alone stealing the formula, even if we start by making good friends with the other party, it is impossible. In the past few days, except for the magic demonstration and the routine inspection every night, it seems that I have never had any contact with McClain.

Sir, have you finished the conversation?"

So, that night passed quietly with Barbre in a daze with a sad face.

…

"...What an interesting pair of friends!"

The next morning, after Maka had some inquiries and conversations with Enns, and asked the latter to go upstairs to rest, Alexander appeared outside the door not long after.

Hearing that the other party wanted to see Enns, Maka thought about it for a moment, but quickly let him go.

And now, Maka is in this living room, secretly sighing for the somewhat unusual friendship between Alexander and Enns.

"Enns's temper is indeed a little bad, so that's up to his father, but when faced with this friend who usually has almost no good words to say, Alexander is very patient and will not be dissatisfied at all because of the sarcastic remarks that Enns often blurts out.

mood."

Thinking of this, Maka withdrew her gaze from the stairs, leaned back on the sofa, smiled and shook her head.

"If Harry had Alexander's mentality back then, and Malfoy had the same 'bottom line' as Enns, they might have become such a pair of slightly awkward friends, right?"

If that were the case, even if the world was still full of troubles, Malfoy probably wouldn't be in this situation.

After muttering to herself like this, Maka finally curled her lips and threw aside such a beautiful idea that didn't make much sense.

"Let the two of them chat first!" He suddenly stood up from the sofa and put the letter he had just written to Haierbo into his pocket. "This letter will be waiting for Ernstow."

Relax a bit and then leave it to him."

Before he finished speaking, Maka turned and walked toward the stairs. In a moment, he passed the floor where Enns and Alexander were and returned to his own room.

After closing the door behind him, he pursed his lips and muttered to himself:

"Now that we all know that the soul fragments in Horcruxes can be extracted directly through some method, why don't you do some research yourself before sending the letter?"

While Maka was thinking this, he suddenly reached out and used the disappearing spell to clear out all the household furnishings in the room. Then, he took out a whole stack of magic symbols that had been drawn in advance.

The rune card came and was gently thrown forward.

The next moment, with the rapid flow of magic in the room, a large number of cards were flying up and down like butterflies. Under Maka's will, one by one they landed exactly where Maka wanted them to fall.

superior.

Soon, the floor, walls, and ceiling were all covered with rune cards according to specific rules. After Maka's infusion of magic power was activated, the entire room was filled with a faint blue light.

It was only then that Maka cautiously reached into the leather bag on her waist and took out the Devouring Mirror bit by bit.

"boom."

After placing it in the center of the room, Maka stood not far in front of it and frowned slowly.

"To be honest, I really don't want to see this thing unless necessary. Every time I see it, I can't help but think of that bad memory!"

While he was muttering this, he lowered his gaze to the mirror surface of this ancient mirror. There, the soul rule runes that Maka had repeatedly strengthened were flashing brightly and dimly, resisting the mirror of Devouring Mirror.

That powerful attraction that only targets the soul.

And because the Devouring Mirror is being blocked by Maka's "Pride Rune" at this moment, the mirror that was already chaotic now looks even more hazy.

To put it bluntly, you can't see anything.

"Where exactly will Halbo's soul fragment be hidden? In the 'space' inside the mirror? Or...well, speaking of it, why does it have to be a mirror? Obviously nothing can be reflected..."

After standing in front of the mirror for a while, Maka simply sat down cross-legged on the spot, supporting her chin with one hand, and fell into deep thought while looking at the blurry mirror.

Needless to say, Maka has already done all the inspection methods that normal thinking can think of. So this time, he did not try to find out the inside of the mirror, but stared at this thing and began to wonder if it was

Is there any more special idea?

After all, Haierbo has said that he can extract the soul fragments from it. With a clearer goal, thinking will naturally become much more efficient.

And if what Haierbo said was actually just a lie with ulterior motives, then Maka seemed to have more reason to think about it first.

"But...it seems like you still can't see anything?"
