It can be seen from the old man's last words that the sacrifices of his three men were not in vain.

Obviously, the other party wanted to create a relationship in which both parties were bound to be hostile, and thereby disturb Haierbo's sight.

Yes, even Maka doesn't know where that guy is wandering around now, let alone whether that guy has been reborn again... This kind of behavior that disrupts the situation will still have the effect it should have.

"…Ewan Ravenclaw."

After repeating the name secretly, Maka walked into the fireplace of the Magic Department Hall and left quickly.

Because he thought it was best for him to go for a walk in a place with fresh air while it was still dark, and to sort out and digest the large amount of information he had obtained today.

…

Almost ten minutes later, Miriam also appeared on a street somewhere in London.

Speaking of which, she was in a somewhat bad mood.

After returning to the old man with He-Man, the old man told them that this mission was basically a failure.

The reason for the failure was that his conversation with Maka ended in "no agreement." Maka expressed disapproval of the fact that they infiltrated Azkaban, and the old man was also upset with Maka's interference in his men's actions.

dissatisfied.

However, the breakdown of negotiations is the breakdown of negotiations, and taking action now is "an outcome neither party wants." In fact, this is tantamount to implying that once the two fight, they will either suffer losses or simply die together.

Regarding this statement, Maka's performance at the time was "non-committal", but this was also a disguised agreement with Old Yoon's words.

So in the end, Maka and Old Yoon left Azkaban first, and let Miriam go to the assistant minister's residence to try to rescue Comrade Asaph, who was still loading potatoes in the field.

come out.

"Is that guy really that powerful? Even the boss can only take a step back for the time being?"

Miriam walked quickly forward in the crowd, biting her plump lips, with a somewhat unwilling look on her face.

"No," thinking of the moment when Maka suddenly appeared not far from her, a chill ran down her back unconsciously, "No matter what the strength comparison between him and the boss is, at least for me

Said, those are unimaginable existences.”

In fact, Miriam herself is a wizard who is good at perception, but even in the area where she is best at, Maka is clearly superior.

People should always be self-aware, so that they can live longer, right?

"It's just a pity for them..."

While suddenly thinking of the three sacrificed companions, Miriam couldn't help but sigh secretly. Although they had long been prepared to face death, death was still sad.

Not long after, she arrived at the private garden she had entered before. After hurriedly walking through the dense dark green plants, she discovered that the sunflower in her memory was missing.

Fortunately, there is already a large doorway on the high wall made of vines.

"Asaph."

Miriam's eyes subconsciously passed through the doorway, and she immediately saw the big head that was quite conspicuous on the ground, which made her no longer interested in thinking about the doorway and the sunflowers.

At this moment, the giant Asaph was still struggling desperately below the ground. His strength seemed to be endless, and he still didn't feel tired yet.

But the rune pattern left by Maka is still working diligently to repair every trace of the ground that was cracked by Asaph.

Seeing that her childhood friend and colleague was still so lively and energetic, Miriam couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

And when she discovered that the mysterious and strange magic circle on the ground flashed blue light from time to time, suppressing the giant Asaph, she couldn't help but take a deep breath.

She knew exactly how terrifying the transformed Asaph was! But that Maka McClain was not only able to control Asaph in a short period of time, he was also able to control Asaph without her knowing it at all.

He caught up with her all the way and followed her to Azkaban.

After seeing this scene of Asaph, the inexplicable sense of fear in her heart obviously became more profound.

However, this seemingly terrifying magic circle actually brought a lot of convenience to Miriam.

After all, Asa's out-of-control deformation is the most serious among them. Even if she is specially responsible for sorting out the spiritual will, it is difficult for her to try to get close to the opponent's madness.

At the moment, Asa can't move at all, which actually gives Miriam a relatively relaxed "working environment."

"Asaph."

After calling the other person softly, Miriam slowly walked to the back of Asaph's head, then leaned down and hugged his giant-like head loosely.

It can be felt that Asa is still struggling in her arms. The extremely strong neck muscles are contracting and stretching vigorously, which can almost make Miriam's whole body crooked.

But Miriam remained unmoved. She just closed her eyes, put her forehead on Asaph's head, and silently cleared away all the confusing thoughts in her heart.

When her mind was completely clarified, Miriam increased her focus and consciously slowly directed this gentle clarity towards Asaph.

If Maka was present, he might be able to see that this is actually using a magical principle that is exactly the opposite of Occlumency.

And it and Occlumency are both derived from Legilimency.

Under Miriam's comfort, the giant Asaph finally gradually settled down, and as he stopped struggling, his knotted and swollen body soon began to return to its normal shape.

However, as his body shrank, the ground also shrank, maintaining a tight fit with his skin from beginning to end.

"Asaph."

This was the third time Miriam called him, and this time, he finally slowly raised his head and saw Miriam's particularly familiar face.

"...Milly."

"Don't call me that," Miriam saw that he had finally regained his normal sanity, and immediately let go of the other person's head, "You are still on a mission, do you understand?"

"Okay, okay..." Asa blinked and then said with confusion, "I...what happened? Am I still alive? No...why was I buried underground?"

Just as he said that, he tried his best again, but found that his body could not move even an inch.

"This...does it mean that I only have one head left?"

Miriam couldn't help but chuckle and shook her head when she saw this.

"Stop bothering," she casually looked in the direction of the mansion, "your body is still there, but you won't be able to get out for a while... you couldn't do anything in the giant form just now, let alone

Now!"

"Then...did that Maka McClain do it?" Asa narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "You should leave quickly! Since you are still on a mission, why are you still here? Don't worry about me -"

"Shut up and take a rest!" Miriam said impatiently, "I am on a mission, but my current mission is to sit here and wait for you to come out..."

At this point, she paused for a moment, and then explained: "I have already met the boss. This mission ended in a complete failure. Both parties took a step back. This is the result of the boss's personal conversation with that McClain.

.”

"That is to say..." Asaph frowned as he listened.

"Let's give up on jailbreaking, give up on getting more astrological information from the bald man's mouth, and temporarily retreat." Miriam sighed, "Then, I will come to you and wait for this magic circle on the ground.

Failure - that MacLean said, it won't last long."

"This is really..."

Asaph shook his head with complicated thoughts, gritted his teeth and struggled hard, but his body still seemed to be integrated with the earth, motionless.

"damn it!"

"It's good that you're alive." Miriam left these last words, and then she said nothing more.

Not far away, in some windows of the mansion, there were several people looking here from a distance. But perhaps they were told not to act rashly, but they all just stared silently at the strange sight here.

No one came close at will.

…

Perhaps because the busy day often makes people feel very long, once it is time to get off work or school, the sunset process is often faster than people think.

When Maka had a couple of drinks at the Leaky Cauldron in Diagon Alley, she found that it was completely dark when she came out.

"Well..." He took a deep breath of the cool night air, and then nodded to himself, "Go back!"

Not long after, Maka found an uninhabited corner, disappeared and reappeared suddenly, and returned to the gate of Hogwarts. But as soon as he appeared, a faint shout came to his ears.

.

"ah--"

"It's evening——"

"The sky - the earth - the lake - the forest -"

"Xiaocao, I ran so fast——"

"It's going to die," Maka's face suddenly changed as she listened to the faint sound behind her ears, "Isn't that fake sunflower still high until now? It's using my image?"

Thinking of this, he suddenly slapped his forehead hard and suddenly felt that something was missing from his soul.

"I'm afraid that all the moral integrity I've saved so hard has been squandered by it, right?" Maka said with a sigh of relief, "And it's still under the sunset!"

After feeling annoyed for a moment, he hurriedly turned back, wanting to pull back the broken grass immediately. But the moment he turned around, an inconspicuous glimmer of light passed through his field of vision.

Maka, who noticed this, immediately turned back and looked in the direction of the castle.

"The library again?"
