When Maka discovered that the so-called "cultists" had not escaped from their controlled state because of the witch's fainting, a possibility suddenly flashed through his mind.
"wrong!"
I heard him whisper to himself:
"Is the real controller who controls the 'congregation' through that magic ritual really Haierbo himself? If that's the case, wouldn't Parkinson and that Iluli... "
Obviously, if the people who control these ordinary wizards are just Halpo's apprentices, even if Pansy and the others have not ruled out the influence of the magic ritual, nothing will happen.
After all, Martin currently does not have the leisure time to get involved in the attack on London.
But if it is Herbo himself who controls the congregation, even if Martin will not participate, Pansy seems to be unable to escape the outcome of being manipulated.
Maybe, she is now in a state similar to the wizards around her.
However, when she thought that Pansy seemed to be with the windbreaker wizard now, Maka felt that at least the problem was not too big.
To be honest, Maka now hopes that Pansy Parkinson, a Slytherin girl, can have a pretty good future. Because no matter what, she has continued to change during this period of time, and she has become enough to give people a completely new look.
"Well, I hope she's okay!"
Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly stretched out his staff without warning and directly touched the neck of the witch who had just fainted in front of him.
"If I were you, I would definitely not take even half a step forward," Maka said calmly, "Remember she just mentioned that she has a sister... I think that should be you, right? "
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that Maka's staff did not move, and his other hand suddenly raised and waved.
"Bang—"
With an explosion, a burst of light particles exploded in front of him - needless to say, it was the collapse of magic power caused by the magic spell being blocked by him.
And taking advantage of these few seconds, the figure in Maka's perception decisively gave up the idea of saving people, quickly turned around and ran to the other end of the street.
Maka didn't move and listened to his loud voice:
"Aren't you worried that I will kill her right now?"
But even if he said this, the other party showed no sign of stopping and giving up on escaping, and even said without looking back:
"You will not-"
Maka froze on the spot, and finally couldn't help but shook her head with a wry smile.
"This is the first time that I feel more like a dark wizard?" He thought to himself rather helplessly, "And he is also a dark wizard who is always considered to be merciful..."
After thinking about this, he saw him flicking his sleeves and summoning a group of alienated Acromantulas.
"Take these people to a place where no one is around and guard them, especially this witch. If she is dishonest, she will be petrified first - I will be there in a moment."
As soon as she finished speaking, Maka didn't stop any longer. She stepped onto the magic book and accelerated towards the direction where the invisible man left just now.
…
If there are people who can escape from being chased by Maka, then there are obviously some. Let’s not mention the old guy Herbo, but let’s talk about Willy’s father, Lord Blois, whose strength is really not low.
And in this world, no one can tell how many low-key strong people there are. After all, those with great abilities usually have a somewhat weird temperament, and being withdrawn is not a big deal.
Unfortunately, the girl who was trying to escape in front of Maka was obviously not among the crowd mentioned above.
Of course, during the chase, which lasted less than five minutes at most, Maka had to admit that she was indeed a wizard who was quite good at escaping.
Just looking at her phantom spell that can still be maintained even while running at a high speed, and her skillful skills in completing the Animagus transformation while remaining invisible, are worthy of admiration.
But unfortunately, admiration is admiration, but Maka will not let her go just because of a little appreciation. Even if he bumped into these sisters, it was only by chance. He might be able to get some useful information from them by taking them back.
After following the opponent into an alley on the street, Maka suddenly accelerated in the narrow alley and rushed to the opponent's side.
The other party obviously didn't expect that he would come up with such a move. He was caught off guard and Maka stretched out his arm and caught it in his hand.
The next moment, he saw that the opponent's body phantom spell was completely lifted when his body was touched, revealing his Animagus form.
It was a black Turkish Angora cat, with no trace of color mixed into the long hair all over its body. Now that she was caught in her hand, she could see her blue and gold eyes staring at Maka for a moment, without changing back to human form or trying to break free.
This was the first time that she had been caught so quickly. Neither invisibility nor Animagus transformation had brought her any advantage. She already knew that she could not escape.
"Don't you want to say something?"
Although Maka asked this question, she didn't mean to ask her to release the transformation. For him, it was more convenient to just take it away.
After staring at her casually for a few times, he quickly started walking back with her in his arms.
But just at this moment, the other party suddenly struggled slightly in Maka's hand a few times, and seemed to have the idea of speaking again.
Seeing this, Maka was not worried that she would try to escape from him again, and then let her go and let her fall to the ground.
"What's wrong?"
After pausing for a moment, Maka watched her gradually recover from her cat form, and finally transformed into a girl dressed in the same fashionable clothes as her sister.
Well, if I have to say it, the color of her clothes is darker, not as bright as her sister's.
"Mr. MacLean..."
Soon, I saw her standing in front of Maka, her voice slightly low and authentic:
"Can you let my sister go? If you have to capture one, I think I would be more suitable than her."
"Huh?" Maka raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why?"
When Maka asked, she immediately continued:
"Don't you just want to get some information about Haierbo from us? Regarding this, my sister can be said to know almost nothing - she only follows orders and does things. However, I got it from Haierbo's few words Made some guesses."
"Really?" Maka looked directly into her eyes and said calmly, "But you don't seem to be Haierbo's apprentice, right?"
"Yes, I am indeed not - Haierbo only accepted my sister. As for me, since I did not show any strengths, Haierbo did not have any interest in me..."
Although the girl was a little surprised that Maka knew about this, it did not make her give up and continue talking. She heard her say:
"...But whenever my sister goes to contact Herbo, I'm usually nearby and listening."
"I see," Maka nodded, but just when the girl thought he was about to agree, he shrugged, "Then before you tell me your 'guess', why not answer me first?" One question - please tell me, why do I have to let one of you go when I can catch both of you at the same time? I believe that with just two drops of truth serum, you can still take everything away even if you don't want to. Tell me honestly."
"Um… "
Maka's words made her speechless for a moment, but she finally whispered:
"So, this is just a request of mine. If you don't accept it, Mr. McClain, there is nothing I can do... Just like I can't escape from you even if I try my best."
"Yes, that's the truth," Maka said, then greeted her and continued to walk back, saying as she walked, "But to be honest, I don't really care about your stay... Tell me what I want to know. Tell me everything, and then let me think about how to release Haierbo from controlling your sister... "
"I think you also know that Haierbo also left something in every 'apprentice' - just like your sister did to those 'congregants'."
Speaking of this, Maka suddenly turned her head and glanced at her.
"I can see that, let alone your sister, at least you are not willing to follow Haierbo. Otherwise, with your ability, although your talent seems to be inferior to your sister's, you are actually stronger than her. Strong. And once this ability is demonstrated, Haierbo obviously has no reason not to accept you as his apprentice."
Hearing Maka say this, she couldn't help but be silent for a moment, and then silently nodded in affirmation.
"I understand," she said immediately, "although I'm not sure... Because my sister has always been more assertive than me, she usually doesn't listen to my advice. However, I will try to persuade her to give up her unrealistic ideas. fantasy…”
…
After a while, Maka returned to the entrance of the Leaky Cauldron with the witch who was about the same age as him. But obviously, there was no one inside.
After Maka casually opened the door of the bar, walked in and looked around, the faint magic wave coming through the mist in the backyard immediately caught his attention.
Indeed, the mist had a serious impact on perception, but it was not so much that he almost lost the ability to sense like Luna. Just like when the girl next to him approached invisibly, he quickly noticed her.
And when the two of them quickly arrived at the backyard of the Leaky Cauldron, the irreversible magic wall and the familiar magic wave belonging to Sirius behind the wall immediately made Maka slightly relieved and walked over.
"Sirius, were you thrown here by Kingsley to guard the streets?"
"Oh, yes! I guess I have to stay until night before I can change my shift..."
It can be seen that the other party did not seem to be very surprised when he found out that he was here.
"Where's Kingsley?" He then asked with some confusion, "Didn't he go to Hogwarts to find you? Didn't he come with you now? And... who is this lady?"
