harry potter book of crimes

Tonight, when Maka, Kingsley and Delphi arrived at the British royal family's manor again, Barbray, who could be said to be waiting in the foyer in recent days, rarely appeared.

To be honest, although so far, Barbre may feel that Maka doesn't really care about his own existence at all. After all, Maka has made it clear from the beginning that his success is just an "accident".

But in fact, Maka paid much more attention to him than he imagined. It was just because of a series of reasons that he didn't get too close to him.

Otherwise, Maka would not have said to him alone through soul magic after the sleeping magic power in his body awakened, "As long as you can master this power, you have the right to think for yourself", which was like encouragement.

It’s like the words of reminder and warning are coming.

And just now, when passing by the foyer, Maka immediately noticed Barbre's absence.

"...Mr. McClain?" Seeing that Maka didn't speak after sitting down, the Queen couldn't help but ask, "Are you going to select five people for the test as usual today?"

After hearing the other party's question, Maka realized that she had put aside the matter of not seeing Barbray for the time being and shook her head slightly.

"No need, I didn't bring a reagent this time," he said. "In fact, I plan to come here tonight to talk to Her Majesty the Queen about something. Well... I guess you, Queen, have also gotten the news, right? That's right.

How the Kent fog moves towards London."

"Oh, yes," the Queen nodded slightly when she heard this, and then asked with extra keenness, "Could it be that...this matter has something to do with you, Mr. MacLean?"

Faced with the Queen's question, Maka did not deny it, but nodded happily again.

"Combined with some other circumstances, I think this abnormal change is probably a personal invitation from Haierbo to me. And regarding this matter... Her Majesty the Queen, I know that you have sent an army to station there.

So, I have to remind you first."

After emphasizing this sentence before, Maka continued:

"Don't get too close, and don't easily mobilize the garrison team to do some very dangerous things! Because there are a group of enemies in the fog that are very bad for you."

"Then they...are following the movement of the mist? Just like when they attacked Canterbury before?"

"No, because this time Haierbo himself is very likely to be hiding in the fog. Therefore, the degree of danger is definitely much higher than you think."

One of the reasons why Maka came here was to make the royal family feel more at ease when he went to London to meet with Haierbo. So, he was about to continue talking about this topic.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, someone outside suddenly knocked on the door of the hall, causing Maka and the Queen to temporarily stop the conversation.

After the Queen nodded to Maka, she raised her voice slightly towards the door and said:

"Open the door."

She didn't call anyone in immediately, but she didn't directly ask who the person was. She had already asked the guards to go out beforehand. As a queen, it was obviously inappropriate to ask questions in a loud voice from a distance.

move.

"Mother, Mr. MacLean..."

Soon, the guard outside opened the hall door, and the two saw the prince and Barbray, who Maka had not seen today, both appearing at the door of the hall.

Perhaps it was because the Queen hadn't told them to come in yet, so they both just stood outside the door and bowed one after another.

Then, the prince took the initiative and said apologetically:

"Sorry, I was asking Barbre about his experience of using magic, and I accidentally ended up chatting for a long time. After that, he and I hurried to the basement again. Unexpectedly, when we got there, there were only guards...

...If I hadn't thought that I didn't seem to receive any news that Mr. MacLean was not coming today, so I asked the guard by the way, maybe the delay would have been even longer...Oh, Mr. MacLean, I'm really sorry!"

The prince's words started with an apology, and then ended with an apology, with a smile on his face from beginning to end, which can be said to be quite decent. If it had been anyone else, it probably wouldn't have been as "like a spring breeze".

It's enough to make most people like him.

However, Maka listened to what he said, but her eyes only stayed on Barbray behind her from beginning to end.

It can be seen that the latter has a subtle feeling in both his expression and movements.

If I had to find an example to compare... it might be like an innocent hostage who is secretly coerced by gangsters, forced to pretend to be calm in front of others, but deep inside, he is extremely eager to be seen.

Maka, who had paid attention to the prince in the past, just watched it from a distance for a while, and soon understood roughly what happened.

As for the queen... Maka felt that she, who was equally intelligent, must have noticed the abnormality.

However, neither the Queen nor Maka showed anything strange about this for the time being.

Then the queen said to her son:

"Then come in quickly!"

Before he finished speaking, the prince walked into the hall with Barbre, who was one step behind him. Then, the prince actually sat next to the queen as usual, while Barbre naturally stood behind the two of them on the sofa.

As soon as he sat down, the prince spoke again.

"Mother, Mr. McLean, where is today's experiment?" He said as he glanced at several corners of the hall, seemingly looking for the subjects who should be there. "It hasn't started yet...

Or is it over?"

"The latest reagents have not been completed, so there will be no experiments tonight," Maka shook her head calmly, "but the daily tests on Barbre will still be carried out as usual. But before that, I want to discuss it with Her Majesty the Queen first.

Say a few words and then talk about it after the test."

"Oh, that's right!" After hearing this, the prince nodded immediately and said, "Then please continue, don't worry about my presence, I'm just here to watch as usual."

"OK."

Maka responded normally, and then talked to the queen about the next actions that the Muggle royal family might need, or some actions that were not needed. After he finished saying what he needed to say, he went straight to that person.

Barbrillo, who was standing behind the sofa opposite, waved his hand.

"Let's go! Just like the previous few days, go to the open space on the hillside behind the manor."

As soon as he finished speaking, Maka disappeared from the sofa first, and Kingsley quickly appeared and left with Delphi's entourage to the backyard.
