"Why refuse such a good opportunity?"

It wasn't until the two came out of Buckingham Palace that Ajinbad finally couldn't help but ask.

After all, if the thing that the Queen of England and the old bishop tried to ask Maca to do was successful, it would not only be more beneficial to them, but Maca's gains would be even greater than them.

It can be said that this is undoubtedly a win-win deal!

"If you agree, you will definitely be in charge of all the operations in the whole process. There won't be anything fishy here." Ajinbad analyzed it to himself, "Besides, there is no one other than you in this matter.

Besides, there is probably no other person in the entire British wizarding world who can do it...so they have no choice but to find you."

His words actually well explain Maka's current status in the British magic world.

And the reason why the Queen kept her attitude so low, and even waited for a long time to have afternoon tea with Maka, was actually because that matter "had to be Maka."

However, Maka, who was walking beside Ajinbad, shook her head decisively.

"Maybe it's a 'good opportunity'!" he said noncommittally, "Of course, the premise is that it can succeed in the end - to be honest, I personally am not optimistic about their ideas at all."

"Why... why?" Akinbad suddenly asked, "Do you think... it is impossible for the Muggle world and the magical world to be integrated?"

"Eh? I didn't say that!"

Maka thought for a while, then suddenly stopped and turned to look at Ajinbad who also stopped walking.

"The two sides have become harmonious with each other. This is definitely a major trend now and in the future. There are many famous wizards who have worked for or are working towards this trend."

"However, as long as some underlying conflicts have not been resolved, even if you try to integrate wizards into Muggle society, you will eventually fail due to unavoidable conflicts."

Having said this, he spread his hands and said:

"So, at least until I think of a solution, not only will I not accept anyone's invitation to plan to merge Muggles and wizards, but even if someone really plans to do that, I will be the first to stop this hidden danger.

Intelligent behavior.”

Yes, in the afternoon tea room at Buckingham Palace, the old bishop and the queen wanted to take advantage of this disaster to take another risk.

If Maka can take this opportunity to find a way to make some Muggles recognize the existence of wizards, then Britain may become the first pioneer to move into a new era in modern world history.

The fusion of Muggles and wizards...or the combination of "science and magic" is of great benefit to both Muggles and wizards.

It was precisely because they were looking at the future development that the old bishop and the Queen suddenly came up with this "bad idea".

Of course, by the way, the impact of this disaster can be completely offset, and there is no need to even do a lot of finishing work that still needs to be done.

Unfortunately, even if the Queen had the old wizard Davidson as a reference, they still underestimated the difficulty of merging social systems.

Or...they actually overestimated Maka's ability?

"Anyway, I won't do that 'Muggle-Wizard Goodwill Ambassador' thing," Maka concluded. "Besides, this title sounds a bit silly...don't you think?"

During this disaster, Maka saved countless people, and this undoubtedly left a very good impression on the Muggles.

Since there are still a small number of London residents who are currently undergoing final amnestics, if it can be tried on that group of people and found to work, then this idea is worth expanding.

Presumably this is how the idea of ​​the "Goodwill Ambassador" came about.

"Well..." Ajinbad nodded, "What you said makes sense. The risks here are indeed very concerning... It's not that the possibility is unlikely, but if something goes wrong, the result will probably be worse than this time.

The disaster is much worse."

"So!" Maka shrugged and said, "As the president of the International Federation of Wizards, you'd better not think about this kind of thing in the future! If this kind of thing is accomplished, it is naturally worthy of cheering, but if

It was a mess..."

To put it bluntly, whether it was Old Bishop Davidson and the Queen who proposed this bad idea, or Mr. Akinbad who cooperated in bringing Maca over for "afternoon tea", their starting point was good.

It's just... It seems that the previous disaster in London put too much pressure on them!

"Oh, actually, there is another final reason why I refused." Maka seemed to suddenly remember something, and chuckled, "To be honest, recently, my time is really not enough.

ah!"

After that, he stretched hard and walked forward, leaving only a meaningful back view for Ajinbad.

…

Maka said she didn't have enough time, which was really true.

For the next three days, he was busy up and down St. Mungo's.

Although as the injured patients gradually recovered, the places where he had to take action gradually became less and less, but he only had three or four more hours to rest every night.

Of course, this is much better than him not sleeping at all.

At around four o'clock in the morning on the fourth day, Maka had just extinguished the flame under the crucible in the potion preparation room, but she sighed slightly when she saw him following:

"Okay! Tonight's research time has been wasted again, so I might as well just go to bed -"

Before he finished speaking, he was suddenly startled, and then lightly patted his forehead.

"I almost forgot, I almost forgot..." He said to himself a little apologetically, "So, even the plan to catch up on sleep can be skipped!"

After twisting her neck, which was stiff from staring down at the crucible for a long time, Maka walked straight to the door.

Even before dawn when the sky is darkest, every corridor in St. Mungo's is as bright as day. After passing through the long corridor and going around the side door back to the familiar hall, the light inside is much dimmer than before.

Because there are still many patients who have to recuperate here these days.

With precise and light steps, Maka nimbly walked through some small tents and some temporary bunks scattered across the ground, without disturbing anyone who was sleeping soundly.

On the way, he also saw a series of R.A. members such as Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny and so on. They were basically all sleeping deeply together.

These days, they are providing free help to patients here, and they seem really tired.

"Of course, and Luna."

Maka thought so and suddenly turned around and looked towards the stairs.

The girl with beautiful long light blond hair has become a bit messy now. At this moment, she is holding a large washbasin, leaning on the last few steps of the stairs and sleeping soundly, her face covered with

Her hair was so buried that her face could not be seen at all.

Of course she also responded to Hermione's call this time, and she was the first one Hermione and the others went to find - after all, her home was really not that far from the Burrow.

But throughout the entire operation, she always behaved very low-key and silently did what she could.

But sometimes, she still seemed to be alone for a while, but her eyes were a little more misty than before.

As for what she was thinking, even Maka had a hard time guessing.

After standing there and hesitating for a while, Maka's gaze swung back and forth between Hermione and Luna for a moment, but finally she walked over to Ginny, who was leaning on Harry's shoulder.

"Hey?"

He knelt down and reached out to pat Ginny's arm. Seeing her eyes widening in confusion as she raised her head unsteadily, he immediately put his index finger to her mouth.

"Shh-"

After signaling Ginny to stay quiet, Maka waved to her, got up and walked to the door first.

Not long after, Ginny, who gradually regained consciousness, followed her with some confusion.

"What's wrong? Did something happen again? Why..."

Ginny looked at Maka who was waiting by the door in confusion, and then glanced back into the quiet hall, slightly puzzled that Maka only called herself.

But Maka did not immediately clear up this doubt for her, but told the truth in advance.

"Actually, I have to leave for a while..."

"now?"

Ginny seemed very surprised when she heard Maka say this. Because she really needs him now, and he has always been a very responsible person in the past, and it is rare for him to leave midway like this.

For this reason, it was inevitable that Ginny would act so surprised.

However, Maka smiled at her at this time.

"Look, this is why I chose to tell you," he said. "If it had been anyone else, at least half of the people in the hall would have been woken up just now!"

"No, no, this kind of thing is irrelevant," Ginny waved her hand, "So? Something big happened, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't be in such a hurry to leave... What happened?"

She thought for a moment and then said:

"Maka, you saw it too - thanks to Hermione, we can already help you! If you need any help from us, you can always ask, and all of us are willing to fight with you!"

"Oh, yes, I believe that is the case." Maka quickly shook her head and said, "But this time there is no need to fight... Just like what I did here, I will still go to treat people. If everything goes well,

I'll be back probably by this time tomorrow."

"Then why did you..."

As Ginny spoke, she suddenly glanced into the hall again, and then pursed her lips as if she had some understanding.

"Oh, I understand! But..."

"In short, I have put the patient list and the medicines that need to be taken in the preparation room. You can just wait here for me to come back - no one will ask about it, so don't talk about my departure." (To be continued)
