"...So, there are only two volumes left here?"

Haierbo looked at the two large stacks of parchment manuscripts in front of him, his whole face was tense, and his eyes were rather evil.

As for the old Patriarch of the Witte family who was standing aside at the moment, his face was more helpless.

"Mr. Haierbo..."

He carefully selected words one by one and tried hard to combine them into some less rigid reasons. But in front of a once notorious old monster like Haierbo, he didn't know if he still needed to explain.

"This... after all, more than a thousand years have passed. After you died... er, I mean, after you left! Our Witte family has never been able to regain the strength it once had. In addition, during these thousand years, we, large and small,

The change……"

"Abatail" was once a magical classic compiled by the ancestors of the Witte family and some other outstanding wizards. Three of the volumes were preserved by the Witte family and can be regarded as family treasures.

To be honest, based on old Werther's self-perception, it is actually a miracle that one volume has been lost in so many years.

Although the original copies of the other two volumes have also been lost, there were no problems with subsequent transcriptions, which shows that the family elders who copied them by hand at that time were also very careful.

All the successive heads of the Witte family are not proud of being able to have a relatively complete inheritance amidst the changes of this era.

However, all this is meaningless to Haierbo.

"If that's all you want to say to me, I don't mind letting you shut up forever with the Werther family."

At the moment, Helbo is still using the body of Butler Barno, but the chilling indifference in his eyes makes Old Werther dare not take a breath.

In the secret room on the second underground floor, the atmosphere gradually became more and more stagnant.

After a while, Old Witte suddenly couldn't help but said:

"Mr. Haierbo, I would like to ask... all you need is the summoning science part that was lost many years ago, is that right?"

That's right, after Haierbo came down to the secret room, he was quickly put into a bad mood by the two stacks of manuscripts. Therefore, he didn't even say what he wanted directly.

But since Maka had made it so obvious before, how could Old Werther, the head of the family who was quite familiar with "Abatelle", not think of it?

Seeing Old Werther mention this, Haierbo glanced at him casually.

"What, do you know where that part goes?"

But Old Werther immediately shook his head.

"Sorry, I really don't know this," he said slowly, "but it seems that someone knows it... No, I think that person may have the volume on Summoning."

As he spoke, he walked to the desk on the other side of the secret room, opened the drawer and took out two pages of parchment manuscripts similar to the two volumes just now.

"These are the two pages that person's subordinates traded to me. I have verified them several times myself and found that the contents inside should be correct."

Hearing this, Haierbo immediately stretched out his hand to take the paper, flipped it back and forth and read it for a while.

"Well, these are indeed the two pages in the part about summoning, but their content is not continuous."

It can be seen that on the two pieces of paper in his hand, there are many extremely complex characters and patterns written on them. And among a certain geometric figure that looks very regular, several ancient ram's horn symbols that represent the devil look particularly special.

garish.

"Who is 'that person' you are talking about?"

Although Haierbo's sense of intimidation was very strong, it put great pressure on Old Werther. Unfortunately, the old family leader was completely unaware of the other party's problem.

"That person never contacted me personally, and only negotiated with me through a subordinate named 'Asa'." The old patriarch said slowly, "And that young wizard named Asa, since he met me,

He never left England again."

"Huh, are you still someone who likes to play mysteries?" Haierbo sneered.

But Old Werther couldn't care less whether Haierbo smiled or not, so he immediately continued:

"The deal proposed by the other party is actually related to some recent events... What you should know is the conflict between our Wirt family and Maca McClain of Hogwarts..."

So, the head of the old family told Halbo about Charlotte again.

Although Haierbo was not interested at all in the little things about the children's rebellion against the family's decision, when he thought that it was related to the missing part of "Abatail", he patiently listened to it to the end.

To be honest, the relevant principles of demon summoning are too complicated, and there are even some "empirical theories". If you are wrong in the slightest, it will cause big trouble.

If he hadn't been worried about something going wrong, Haierbo might have found a place where no one was around to mess around alone.

You know, at some time a thousand years ago, he had already completed it with the ancestors of the Wirt family.

"'Asaph', right?" After listening to Old Witte's narration, Haierbo nodded, "When the situation outside becomes a little more stable, we will find a way to call this person over."

"Ah...well, yes."

As far as the current situation is concerned, looking at the objective strength, Maka is actually much stronger than Haierbo. At least until Haierbo finds a body with enough potential, the comparison between the two will be like this.

But for the Witte family, or sometimes the old family head, Haierbo's deterrent effect is much greater.

In fact, it's clear from Maka's attitude towards Haierbo.

Obviously, Maka has beaten Haierbo's body to pieces many times, but this will not cause too much trouble to Haierbo. But if you look at it the other way around, Haierbo has the ability to change Maka's life.

It's going to be a mess.

And this principle can obviously be directly applied to the entire Werther family.

"Mr. Haierbo, I will let the people below find the 'Asaph wizard' as soon as possible."

…

At the same time, Hogwarts Castle, the principal's office.

"...Yes, 'he' was attached to me at that time. I don't know exactly when I started to lose consciousness. It wasn't until I was in the corridor...well, that was when Maka and 'him' confronted each other.

, I suddenly regained some feeling."

At this time, several wizards from the International Confederation of Wizards were sitting on the temporarily moved armchairs in the principal's office. And beside them, Scrimgeour, as the current Minister of Magic of the United Kingdom, was also personally accompanying them.

Listen in.

They were all listening to Harry's narration, and one of them had a quill pen in his hand, the tip of which was trembling, leaving line after line of records on the parchment roll.

Finally, Harry added:

"I think it was the deceased Professor Dumbledore who gave me the strength to wake up under the oppression and control of the other party."

"Well, I think so too."

Mr. Ajinbad, the president of the federation, nodded slightly and took the real-time record just now and read it again.

Akinbad was an outstanding African wizard and one of Dumbledore's friends during his lifetime. When Dumbledore took up the post of president of the Federation, his favorite successor was Akinbad.

To this end, Dumbledore prepared some campaign resources for Akinbard to give him a greater chance of seizing the seat of President of the Federation after he leaves this world.

Therefore, the current president of the International Confederation of Wizards has a very favorable impression of Hogwarts. When Harry expressed his gratitude to Dumbledore, he nodded in agreement.

"However, I think we need to study the matter of Halbo's resurrection more clearly before we can take better action. McClain's letter is a bit hasty and not detailed enough. We will have to wait for further details after he comes back.

discuss."

It seems that Ajinbad seems to prefer to act cautiously regarding the Haierbo incident.

"Well," Professor McGonagall sitting on the other side nodded, but couldn't help but said worriedly, "McLean has been there for a while, and I don't know what the situation is."

When Harry and others heard this, they felt somewhat uneasy.

When Maka left Hogwarts, she didn't say what she was going to do. It wasn't until Professor McGonagall explained Maka's departure to Akinbad and Scrimgeour that they were called to ask questions.

The little wizard finally got a rough idea of ​​the situation.

Especially Hermione, she couldn't help but feel anxious when she thought that Maka went directly to an ancient big family to take action.

But at this moment, the door to the principal's office was suddenly opened from the outside.

"Oh, are everyone here?"

It was Maka who came in - when all the wizards and wizards hurriedly turned their heads to look, Maka's figure also walked into their sight.

"Hello, Mr. Ajinbad!" Maka walked quickly inside. Although he was a little pressed for time, he did not forget to say hello first, "Please don't blame me for calling you here in such a hurry.

Too abrupt."

"Haha... don't be so polite."

Ajinbad and several accompanying members of the federation also stood up and returned a friendly greeting to Maca.

"To be honest, when I saw the name 'Despicable Herbo' in the letter, I was really scared to death! You told it briefly in the letter. Can you take some time to explain it in detail for us now?

"

But in fact, Maca is not easy to write too carefully.

As the president of the federation, Ajinbad had some matters that he could not decide alone. Therefore, Maca originally did not want him to come to the UK in person, but just wanted to find the other party to borrow some powerful people.

But who knew that Akinbad's gratitude to Dumbledore was deeper than Maka had imagined. With his words, people came running to him personally.

However, this is not the time to talk about this yet...

"Sorry, I have some more important things to tell you..." (To be continued)
