In Mr. Blois's spacious, bright, and exquisitely decorated study, Maka had a long conversation with the other party in an unusually polite manner. In the other party's words, he could clearly feel the discomfort contained in them.

, obviously Willy's father is not used to talking to others in such a polite way.

It can be seen that there should be a hidden purpose behind the other party's performance.

But no matter whether Mr. Blois made a request to herself or wanted to get something from herself, Maka couldn't figure out what the sudden purpose was.

You know, he came to Blois Castle this time on his own initiative, without even giving any advance notice... Although the doubts revealed in the other party's words and deeds were so obvious, he still understood what he was thinking.

think.

After another round of useless conversation, Maka finally smiled bitterly to herself.

"Mr. Blois, I have to say that you are really not suitable for using this kind of tone to be deliberately polite with people." Maka interrupted a certain topic that the other party was talking about and said bluntly, "I am Willie's friend.

And you are her father - if you need my help in any way, just ask."

Mr. Blois was stunned for a moment when he heard this. After staring at Maka's face silently for a moment, the slightly stiff smile on his face gradually disappeared, and there was a bit of helplessness in his eyes.

.

"Mr. McClain," he still addressed Maka in the same way, "you may be right, I...well, actually I want to ask you a question, and if possible, please answer it honestly."

"Please tell me—" Maka extended her hand to indicate.

"I heard..." Mr. Blois said with a serious look on his face, "I heard that you seem to have cultivated a spider with the ability to petrify the sight, right?"

Maka nodded curtly.

This matter was originally a secret, but after he controlled those little guys more and more times, a lot of people knew about it. The Blois family has a lot of power in their hands, and they can understand these things.

, Ming was not unexpected.

"So..." Mr. Blois continued to ask, "Are those spiders some kind of alienated subspecies based on the bloodline transformation of the Acromantula?"

In the entire magical world, there are actually many magical spider-like creatures, and the Acromantula is just one of the more famous species. In addition, the little guys cultivated by Maca are mixed with the blood of the basilisk. From the appearance

It is extremely difficult to distinguish the characteristics of the Acromantula, and I don’t know how Mr. Blois guessed it.

Of course, that doesn't seem to be the point right now.

"Mr. Blois, when you went to work with Voldemort, was it just for that guy's knowledge of bloodline transformation?" Maka thought for a moment and suddenly had a clear idea, "Actually, you don't have to beat around the bush... If bloodline transformation is really possible,

If you want to solve the curse on Willy, of course I am willing to give it a try."

"But, last time I——"

When Maka saw the embarrassment in the other party's expression, he immediately understood what the previous politeness was for. He could understand, after all, the other party was not even willing to explain in the depths of the Dark Spirit Pavilion last time.

, and kept trying to stop him. In the end, the two even had a big fight.

After experiencing that situation, it was obviously difficult for Willy's father to ask for help from him again.

"Mr. Blois, where is Willie now? Do you mind if I meet her first and have a chat?"

Maka interrupted the other party again, because he didn't seem to care about that matter at all, so why bother making things difficult for him now?

"You know, she and I haven't seen each other for a long time," he said with a smile, "Mr. Butler said just now that you didn't let her go to Hogwarts for her safety—

—I think your decision is very correct. But to be honest, I miss her a lot when we don’t see each other like this... We are good friends."

After Maka interrupted, Mr. Blois opened his mouth again, but after that, he did not say any more unnecessary words. He heard the sincerity in Maka's words, and it was this sincerity,

The apology and entanglement in his heart could not help but fade away a bit.

"...Friend...Okay," the other party nodded and said slowly, "I think Willie still needs a friend... She is in her own room, and the housekeeper will lead you there."

The word "friend" is a very distant word to Willy and Mr. Blois.

Maka still remembers that Willy once told him a story about her first friend. In those past memories, Mr. Blois was trying to send a friend to the lonely little Willy.

Warmth, but unfortunately it ended up becoming a big regret in Willie's heart.

After that, Maka said goodbye to Mr. Blois for the time being, and under the leadership of the old housekeeper at the door, she left the study and walked gradually in the other direction of the corridor.

In the study, Mr. Blois looked at his leaving figure and sighed softly.

Since when did he not even remember how to ask others? Did it start on the day his wife died? Or, in fact, it was only after he sat in the position of the head of the Blois family that he gradually became what he is now.

What does it look like?

He didn't know... He just felt that he was no longer the young wizard who could communicate with others at will. All kinds of experiences made him a completely boring guy.

"...Am I really a competent father?" He asked himself softly, but he couldn't find the correct answer in his heart.

…

Willy's room is located in a small tower on the west side of Blois Castle, with a total of five floors from bottom to top. It has been hers since she was a child.

Maka followed the old housekeeper up floor by floor, all the way to the top floor, where Willy's bedroom was.

After the old housekeeper stepped forward and knocked gently on the door, a female voice immediately came from inside. That was not Willy's voice, it sounded like a maid, about 20 or 30 years old.

"who is that?"

The other party spoke in French, and perhaps it was just a habitual response, so the door was opened a crack without waiting for the old housekeeper to answer.

"Oh, it's you?" the maid said softly, "Miss is studying at the moment, may I ask..."

She couldn't finish her words, because not long after she opened her mouth, she spotted Maka standing nearby. It could be seen that she seemed to be very worried about Maka, a stranger, appearing at the door of the lady's bedroom.

be surprised.

"This...is this?" The maid hesitantly returned her gaze to the old housekeeper.

"This is Mr. McLean, a friend of the lady." The old housekeeper explained, "Is the lady studying? It doesn't matter. I think the lady will be willing to meet Mr. McLean!"

"Uh...really?" The maid blinked in surprise, confusion still lingering on her face, "Miss's friend?"

Although she was surprised, since the old housekeeper said so, it was definitely correct. Full of doubts, she quickly stepped aside.

However, just when she was about to reach out and open the door, the door was pushed aside by another force.

"Maka?"

The first thing that caught Maka's eyes was a pair of crystal white hair, like snow and frost with a slightly transparent texture, which easily reminded people of the clear crystal. Then, he turned his attention.

Come to the delicate and fair face hidden between the white hair.

Willie was wearing a large nightgown at the moment, and she looked very lazy with her petite body.

"Weili, long time no see." He greeted the other party with a smile, looking relaxed and casual.

"The flowers are blooming." Willie looked at him and said seriously.

This girl is still off-line as always, and she always speaks out of turn. He is still saying hello, but the topic jumps directly to Hua.

Maka thought about it for a moment, tilted her head and guessed: "You mean... the Rafaela Dragon Kiss last time?"

Willy nodded expressionlessly.

"Really, it looks better than the photo..."

After the Rafaela dragon's kiss bloomed, Willy sent him a lot of letters. In addition to a lot of cultivation records, there were indeed some magical photos in them.

But that was all a long time ago...could it be said that this girl has been thinking about letting him see that flower?

"Then let's go take a look right now?" Maka shrugged.

"Um."

"boom!"

Willy nodded again, then closed the door, leaving Maka standing outside the door and the old housekeeper beside her looking at each other wordlessly.

"I think the lady has gone back to change clothes," the old housekeeper explained.

"I think so too." Maka smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Seeing that her temperament hasn't changed at all, I feel a lot better for some reason."

In fact, it is not just her character that has not changed in Weili. Maka also discovered that this taciturn girl does not seem to have changed much in appearance. In comparison, after several years of growth and development,

However, his appearance has changed a lot.

As for the reason, it may be that the power of the seal is affecting the growth of her body, or it may be some complications of the blood curse. But if she never grows up in her lifetime, it will be a big regret.

Willy didn't ask Maka to wait any longer. Although she always looked expressionless, she was obviously quite happy about Maka's arrival. Not long after, the bedroom was opened from the inside again, and Willy was fully dressed.

Finally he walked out of the door quietly.

"Let's go."

As she spoke, she eagerly pulled Maka's sleeve and walked downstairs. Maka was suddenly staggered by her.
