"I have taken back the soul fragments in the Devouring Mirror... Look! McClain, this is the greatest sincerity I can express to you... I don't know, are you still satisfied?"

Haierbo's words made Maka instantly change from doubt to surprise, and then from surprise back to a more confused state.

Yes, if the Devouring Mirror is no longer Helbo's Horcrux, then the previous changes that occurred in Blois Castle will make sense.

The ancient mirror, no longer bound by Haierbo's soul, finally showed its most primitive ability. The kind of mysterious power that even Maka couldn't completely seal with the soul rule runes was the only thing that was different from the bewitchment.

The Monument, the Sword of Gryffindor, and a series of evil magic props that are comparable to the source of disaster.

If Macca had not set up a very tight blockade in advance when studying the Devouring Mirror at Castle Blois, which somewhat weakened its power, perhaps even the Muggle people around Castle Blois would have suffered.

to a huge disaster.

And just when Maka was deeply surprised by Haierbo's so-called "sincerity", she heard the other party ask seriously:

"McLean, are you satisfied with this gift?"

No matter how credible what Haierbo said is, at least in Maka's view, this can definitely not be regarded as a "gift". After all, just because of what Haierbo did, it gave people around Maka

It brought a lot of trouble.

Of course, as far as Haierbo's thinking is concerned, this should actually be regarded as a "sincere" gift!

Although Maka still doesn't know how he did it, and maybe this guy is just lying and has another agenda. But if he really pulls his soul fragments away from the Devouring Mirror, then he is equivalent to giving up completely.

This is a powerful ancient magic prop that has both research value and practical value.

And more importantly, even if he finds another item to make a new Horcrux, Maka feels that it will be difficult for him to find anything more reliable than the Devouring Mirror. Even if the Devouring Mirror is always used by Maka,

The same goes for card masters.

"Let's not talk about dissatisfaction or dissatisfaction," Maka frowned slightly and said to Haierbo opposite, "I have to admit that your 'sincerity' really surprised me... Of course, the premise must be that you really

He has already taken back the soul fragments."

Having said this, he paused for a moment and looked at Haierbo for any reaction.

However, Haierbo is obviously not willing to show any proof to Maka. It is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous thing to openly expose his soul to others, not to mention that the target has also studied the soul in depth like Maka.

The outstanding wizard of the rules.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Maka curled her lips and continued:

"Okay! Let's put this doubt aside for now, because I also want to discuss another issue with you... Haierbo, I want to know, what is it that you want to exchange for this 'sincerity'?

What?"

As he spoke, Maka couldn't help but shook her head, and the expression on her face became calm again.

"Helbo," he thought carefully before saying, "I won't comment on your words for now. I just want to ask you what exactly do you want to get through this 'sincerity'? Is it just that?

Is it just an agreement to cease war with us?"

"Oh, no! Of course it's more than that..." Haierbo waved the remaining left hand and said, "What I want is an environment that allows me to live with peace of mind and do research with peace of mind. As long as we don't disturb each other, you should also

There’s no reason to be my enemy, right?”

It's a pity that although Haierbo's words sounded nice, Maka didn't believe it at all.

"Provide you with an environment where you can do research with peace of mind? Then what?" Maka said, "When you have researched the results you want, will you be able to more easily achieve some of the extremely dangerous plans and conspiracies in your mind?"

Maka's words made Haierbo silent for a moment, and then he heard him say:

"It seems that, McLean, you have made up your mind not to give me any trust... Oh, of course, I do understand your feelings. But, do you really want to hold my life in your hands?

, can you be willing to consider the request I just made?"

To be honest, just looking at Haierbo's attitude and demeanor today, Maka can indeed feel an inexplicable sincerity from it.

Haierbo, who had caused so many disasters during this period of time, did not show any of the arrogance of the past today. Maka felt extremely awkward no matter how she looked at him.

At least, this is definitely an act.

"Your life?" Maka raised her eyebrows and couldn't help but said calmly, "Helpo... Do you know how many people are waiting for you to throw away this life? Until now, my personal thoughts are actually all

It doesn’t matter anymore. Even if you are really tired from running around, I think the families of those you killed will not want to see you still living comfortably, right?"

Hearing this, Haierbo couldn't help but shook his head, and then walked to the railings of London Bridge and looked down at the Thames River, which was obscured by the fog and could no longer be seen clearly.

After a moment, he looked at the river that was only vaguely visible to Maka, and said softly:

"It seems like we can't reach an agreement today?"

The tone of Halbo's words when he said this seemed to have added a touch of his usual indifference. To be honest, although this always sounds uncomfortable, compared to the subtle cover-up before,

, Maka is obviously more accustomed to the other party's indifference.

Although Haierbo in this state is equally dangerous, it can at least let Maka know where the danger may come from. The method of stabbing people with a soft knife like the one just now is the most difficult to guard against.

Maka seemed to finally let out a sigh of relief at Haierbo's change, and saw that he quickly spoke before Haierbo could say the next words:

"To say 'we can't reach an agreement'... I don't think it's possible. Haierbo, if you can accept my last condition, I will never agree to your request."

"What conditions?"

Facing Halbo who suddenly turned around and asked seriously, although there was still a lot of distrust hidden in Maka's heart, she still said slowly:

"What else could there be? Of course it's your demon body. If you keep this power, it's impossible for me to agree to your requests! What do you think?"
