confusion!

I think other than the word "chaos", it would be difficult to find another word to describe the current scene in Haifa.

The light of the curse flickered one after another, from between various street buildings to the gloomy night, flickering on and off like silent lightning piercing the darkness.

However, it is not just the wizard groups belonging to the two parties that are active in Haifa City at this moment.

Israel is a country that has withstood a lot of wars, and its port city Haifa has also changed hands several times, so this Muggle city is particularly sensitive to wars.

Speaking of which, before the establishment of Israel, it was once under British rule and became a British enclave dedicated to oil refining.

But tonight, when Haierbo's manpower was spread out, it didn't take long for a helicopter to arrive to observe the situation.

Although the three helicopters before and after seemed to be shot down without any effect, it can be seen from Haifa's reaction speed that she will not be killed as easily as Haifa initially imagined.

After that, as if to prove this point, Haifa City immediately pulled out its armaments. Even though the top leaders of Haifa City certainly haven’t figured out what was going on, they should do what they should.

Nothing is missing from the response.

Haierbo stood on the top of a tall building, looking at the city in the dark with an expressionless face.

He stood firmly on his feet, as if everything that happened in front of him had no great impact on him. Even if his action tonight was completely forced to start, even if the power of Muggles

It was completely different from his impression, and so was his attitude.

Yes, at least on the surface, he still dismisses all this.

However, Haierbo could remain unmoved by this and let his temporarily transformed "subordinates" risk their lives. But at this time, Ajinbad, who was also observing the command, had another mood.

"Go, immediately notify the major council members of the Federation, and urgently discuss the Muggle solution in Haifa City! You must tell them that the Muggle Naval Base in Haifa City has been alarmed here!"

He grabbed a certain reviewer's arm and spoke hurriedly before letting go. Then he thought about it, but once again grabbed the reviewer who left in response.

"If any of them ask questions like 'What is a naval base?', explain it to them..." Ajinbad gritted his teeth, "Then tell those people that I will initiate the cancellation of their membership status at the next meeting.

vote!"

When the reviewer heard this, he nodded repeatedly, and Ajinbad once again let go of his hand holding the other party's clothes.

But just as the guy was about to apparate back, Ajinbad stretched out his hand to him for the third time, and because the grip was too strong, he staggered.

"besides--"

The federation president hesitated for a long time this time, and finally nodded to himself as if he had made an important decision.

"Send another letter to Mr. Maka McClain of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry... No, go there yourself and ask him to come here for help! This matter must be placed before the two things I just mentioned.

Do it.”

Ajinbad originally wanted to go by himself, but now he really can't leave.

After all, the "legendary Haierbo" has not appeared until now. As the president who personally led everyone here, he must hold the line here.

"I understand." The review member responded honestly, but soon hesitantly said, "President, you...do you have anything else to say?"

Ajinbad, who was upset, naturally didn't give him a good look and glared at him at that time.

"Go quickly!"

…

Today is a rare day for Maka to go to bed and sleep in recent times. Moreover, it is also a rare day for him to plan to sleep well all night.

But... of course, after receiving Ajinbad's letter in the afternoon, he had no hope of actually sleeping until dawn.

And now, while Maka was still sleeping soundly in bed, a faint sound coming from the window easily disturbed his sweet dream.

"...Mr. McLean...Mr. McLean? McLean..."

Maka's breathing suddenly paused. After a few seconds, his eyelids rolled a few times along with the eyeballs inside, and then he let out a long breath.

“…poor my Peking duck, it’s still hanging in the duck oven!”

He muttered and struggled to open his eyelids.

"But then again...it's just a dream, how about it be so real? It actually started by buying ducks from the market...Am I the one who runs Quande?"

From the time he came to this world until now, the chance of him dreaming about his past life has been getting lower and lower...Okay! This may be because he has never slept well.

Without thinking any more, Maka put the dream behind her just now, lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

It didn't take long for him, who had been prepared, to pack himself up and head out in a hurry.

"Professor McGonagall," as he was going down the stairs, he met McGonagall who was also walking down. "Oh, Professor, go back to sleep! I know who is looking for me outside... I just go and deal with it."

Maka noticed at a glance that Mag was obviously in a hurry to come down.

I saw that the buttons of the other party's coat were neatly buttoned, but a slightly inconsistent light blue could be seen in the collar - I'm afraid he was still wearing a nightgown underneath!

But compared to the messy clothes, Mag's thoughts were quite clear. She didn't pay attention to Maka's persuasion, but frowned slightly and said:

"Is it something about Ajinbad? Is there something wrong with the Israeli magic community?"

Maka actually really didn't want to add any more worries to the principal who was busy at Hogwarts all day long. But he also knew that even if he didn't tell him, McGonagall would soon learn about some of the latest information.

So after thinking for a moment, he had to smile calmly.

"I think... there's probably a fight over there right now," he said, "you know, it's the men from Haierbo and the Federation -"

Just as he was talking, he heard another call outside the castle, and couldn't help but shrugged again.

"Seeing that they are so anxious, maybe the Muggle war power is also... Well, in short, Mr. President Akinbad should be anxious at this time."

"Then they want you to go over..."

Mag looked at Maka, looked up and down first, and then even reached out to straighten his clothes. It wasn't until she straightened the collar of Maka's robe that she patted his arm.

He nodded as if satisfied.

"Go! Be careful, and come back immediately if there is danger - don't be careless."

Maka could understand that Professor McGonagall's actions did not represent her identity as the principal of Hogwarts, but her care as an ordinary elder.

If it were the former, she would not be able to say "come back if there is danger".

And Maka understood better that the fundamental reason why Professor McGonagall showed such an attitude towards him was still due to a topic he had discussed with McGonagall some time ago.

"Ok, I know."

He nodded slightly, then without saying anything else, he quickly turned around and continued going downstairs.

…

"...Mr. MacLean! You finally came out...ah! I mean, Mr. Akinbad is waiting for you to come to the rescue! Please help me -"

At the school gate, while Maka turned around and closed the iron gate, she was still listening to the sincere plea of ​​the joint council member behind her.

Speaking of people who came out of the Federation, they would definitely not be able to be so shy and ask for help - it would be too late for others to ask them!

But once a big problem occurs, they will have to ask some really capable and powerful wizards.

The magical world has always been a place that values ​​strength since ancient times, even if the situation in the modern magical world seems to be continuing to move closer to the Muggle social concept.

"Stop it!" Maka turned around and said after re-applying defensive magic to the school gate, "Tell me briefly first, what is the situation over there? Especially on the Muggle side.

Level of involvement.”

After Maka's interruption, the thin-looking reviewer finally stopped what he was talking about and thought about it for a while.

This person is really honest enough. No matter how chaotic Haifa City is tonight, he still does what he says, and he is not afraid that Maka will not want to go after hearing this.

You know, this afternoon Maka directly rejected their president's invitation.

After listening to the scene described by the other party, Maka couldn't help but be a little surprised.

What surprised him was not the quick response from the Muggle side of Haifa City, but that Haierbo actually managed to create so many men to cause trouble during the time when the federation was urgently organizing manpower!

"Okay," Maka just thought about it for a short while and then said immediately, "You should still have tasks, so go ahead and do it! I'll go over and check on the situation..."

Just relying on the words of this reviewer, he naturally cannot understand some of the more critical elements in this matter. However, there are some things that can be predicted in advance - even if he does not have the blood of a prophet, there will be nothing inexplicable.

astrology.

After standing still for a moment, Maka raised her head and whistled, then took out a pen and paper and wrote a letter using the floating spell.

And when he finished writing the letter, the owl Mafa flew over from the Forbidden Forest and took the initiative to pick up the rolled parchment.

Maka half-raised his arm and whispered a few words to Marfa who was standing on his arm. Then he raised his hand and watched Marfa flap his wings and disappear into the night.

After making the necessary preparations, not long after, his figure standing at the school gate disappeared with a burst of space distortion.

But when he appeared from another place, he only felt that his breathing was stagnant, and his whole body was suddenly enveloped by a chill... (To be continued)
