harry potter book of crimes

Haierbo's life was indeed long enough, so long that no one would feel a pity if he squandered it.

But for a real wizard, every minute and every second is precious. He has wasted thousands of years underground, and this alone is enough to make him no longer want to watch time be meaningless.

The ground passed.

Therefore, the few words he said to Asaph just now were not just for fun, but he really wanted to take advantage of him.

Yes, even if all he could gain from Asaph was that he could find Milia faster.

"I hate waiting."

In the warehouse where Miriam and others entered before, Haierbo was sitting on a wooden crate with his eyes slightly closed. His expression looked quite unhappy.

And just beside a pillar not far from him, Asaph just stood there silently, lowering his head and burying his face in the shadows.

He had already told Herbo just now that this was the place where he and Miriam would meet urgently. Whoever came out of the Werther family's mansion first and did not meet the other party would have to come here to wait for the rendezvous.

but……

Miriam and Marius should obviously have gone to the Werther family earlier than him, but why haven't they come back yet? Asaph thought that they would be able to see each other as soon as they arrived here.

In fact, he had already thought about "what he should do after Halbo meets Miriam."

Could it be that... what happened to Miriam on her way back? Was it the massive explosion outside that hasn't stopped yet?

"I hate waiting!"

Haierbo spoke again. Although the words he said were still the same, the dissatisfaction contained in his tone was much stronger than before.

"Maybe... it was those explosions..."

Asa tried to give Miriam a reasonable explanation, but the effect was basically the same as saying nothing.

"It seems that I still have to find it myself."

"No, wait!"

To be honest, Asaph doesn't even know what to do. Now he is very conflicted in his heart, and his thoughts are wavering back and forth between "Millian should come" and "Millian should not come", but there is another voice.

But he was telling him that it would probably be the same no matter which one.

To put it bluntly, his "betrayal" is actually meaningless.

The moment he watched Haierbo open his eyes and suddenly stand up from the wooden crate, the door of the warehouse opened with a "squeak" from the outside.

"you--"

"Milly, don't come here!"

Asa rarely calls Miriam by nicknames, and this is obviously a reminder that he needs to pay attention to the distance. For people like them, it is superfluous to talk about relationships and so on.

Yes, that was what he had always thought...or rather, this was simply a choice he forced himself to make.

When Grandpa Raven was soliciting everyone's opinions and asking if they were willing to accept bloodline transformation, Miriam was the first to step forward.

And Asaph, relying solely on his own will, would probably never be able to achieve such an enlightenment in this life.

Yes, although the current situation was completely different from that of back then. But when he found out that he was on Haierbo's side, when he raised his eyes and looked at Miriam at the door... the personal frustration was the same as that time.

Almost exactly the same!

"Milly, get out of here—"

While shouting these words, Asaph suddenly felt that there was something else he could do.

Yes, why on earth did he insist on begging Haierbo to let him help? Is it really just to betray Grandpa Raven?

No, he wanted to find a stronger reason, even if it was somewhat hypocritical!

"Walk!"

Asa gave a bear hug and hugged Haierbo tightly. His muscles all over his body were so strong that his clothes suddenly burst, and his body began to surge and swell violently.

The giant's blood gives him great strength. I believe that even the strongest wizard may not be able to break free from such an unexpected hug.

"Escape...find...yes, find Maka McClain! Don't worry about the mission! Go find that McClain, only he can-"

Miriam stood at the door, not knowing what to do for Asaph for a moment. She only knew that she would definitely not be able to leave him and escape from here, but... what nonsense was Asaph talking about?

And in the next second, Asa suddenly felt his body stiffen - he couldn't move!

"Transformation of giant bloodline? This is a bit interesting... It seems that wizards in this era may not be all trash..."

Haierbo, who was hugged tightly by Asaph, even though all the bones and joints in his body were creaking, he raised the corners of his mouth and smiled as if nothing was wrong.

"Unfortunately, this research is obviously not perfect enough. If the deformation time can be shortened several times, the effect will be very different..."

Just as he was talking, he saw that Haierbo just raised his hand, and Asa, who was already much stronger than before, irresistibly let go of him, and then fell backwards with a dull look on his face.

"As for what you said about 'finding McClain'..." Haierbo's eyes swept across the door, his sharp eyes pointed directly behind Miriam, "I don't think there's any need to look for it, don't you think so?"

Miriam thought the other party was talking to her, and her expression seemed stagnant. But soon, when a hand gently put her shoulder, she immediately realized something.

"You should say - he made the right choice."

A familiar voice sounded from behind Miriam. She turned around in a hurry and saw a young face.

"Oh, please give way."

Miriam then staggered a few steps to the side, revealing Maka's figure.

"Young man, why are you looking for me again and again?" Haierbo patted his clothes nonchalantly and slowly smoothed out some of the wrinkles on his clothes, "In addition to meeting me, you also want to

Is there any other meaning?"

But Maka obviously disagreed with Haierbo's statement.

"significance?"

He took two more steps forward, blocked the door and shrugged:

"If you think that you have to find a 'meaning' for everything... I think you probably can't adapt to today's era."

"Since you can't adapt to it, then change it." Haierbo turned his head and glanced at Maka and said, "Why do I have to take the initiative to adapt to this world? Instead of letting the world adapt to me?"

At this point, he seemed to want to stop talking about these things, and ended the topic with a wave of his hand.

Then, he casually raised his foot and touched Asaph's face.

"I'm sorry, young man! I don't have much time to chat with you right now... When I finish what I should do, we can find some time to discuss it."

After Haierbo finished speaking, he suddenly looked over Maka's shoulder and looked directly at Miriam behind her.

"Tell me, where is your 'boss' now?"

However, with his casual question, how could Miriam tell him?

Seeing that Miriam first glanced at Asaph on the ground, and then glared at him fiercely, Haierbo immediately met the two gazes without hesitation.

But at the next moment, Maka's face suddenly moved sideways, accurately separating the two parties from looking at each other.

"Helpo, don't do such boring things in front of me! Do you really think I don't exist?" Maka said with a half-smile, "Or...that 'boss' position, right?

Is it actually important to you?"

Before he finished speaking, before Haierbo could speak, he stretched out his hand and made a 'please' gesture.

"If you want me to see it, you'd better leave quickly! Didn't you also say that? I'm afraid you are no match for me now..."

This level of provocation was a common occurrence for Haierbo. Seeing that he really had nothing to gain, he immediately spread his hands readily.

This time it was obvious that he could not repeat his old tricks. Even if he could use Asaph to threaten Miriam, as long as Maka was still present, this coercion would never be effective.

Just like how he controlled Asaph just now, if Maka wants to stun Miriam, she probably only needs to raise her hand.

"Humph," Haierbo said with a faint smile, "Then I'll leave this little girl with you first...remember to keep an eye on her closely."

After saying that, he suddenly waved his hand to his side, and a piece of ground not far away suddenly collapsed. The passage through which Miriam and others came in at first was destroyed by him.

After doing this, Haierbo walked towards the door.

When Maka saw this, she didn't stop her. Instead, she took Miriam's hand and dragged her aside, allowing Halbo to leave the dark warehouse.

"Go and see your companion! After a while, his reason will be completely suppressed by instinct."

Old Eun's bloodline transformation research, at least in the direction of giant bloodline, has obvious weaknesses. At this moment, Miriam has not recovered from the chaos just now, but Maka recalled this first.

thing.

After hearing this, Miriam had no time to sort out the previous situation, so she subconsciously walked out from behind him and hurriedly ran towards Asaph who was lying on the ground.

"Now...after all the residents in the black market are cleared, the matter will be over for the time being, right?"

Maka turned around, looked at the fire and smoke outside the door, and couldn't help but shake her head.

Of course, this matter is far from over. The troubles between the Werther family and the Augustine family will definitely continue to ferment with time and turmoil.

By then, it is still unknown whether other ancient wizard families will appear as well...

For Maka, having somewhat understood Old Yoon's thoughts, this was actually the "end" that he was secretly talking about.

"...Asaph."

Hearing a faint murmur from behind, Maka's eyes glanced back, and she began to ponder the issue of "Abatail" and the demon summoning technique again.

Outside the warehouse, explosions were still happening one after another, and no one in the underground black market could sleep tonight. (To be continued)
