"... Go and ask all those families with strong financial resources and the ability to collect valuable magic items. Especially those whose ancestors have served as Ministers of Magic or have entered the Department of Mysteries, you can give priority to asking …”
In the wing of Malfoy Manor, Maka was telling Lucius his specific requirements.
In fact, a few minutes ago, he was knocking on the door and waited for a while but no one came to open the door for him.
Of course, nowadays, Maka and the Malfoy couple have nothing to be polite about. When he found that there was clearly someone in the room, but there was no movement, he rushed in directly.
To be honest, when Lucius and Narcissa saw that the person coming was Maka, they breathed a sigh of relief. Because what they are most worried about now is actually being visited by the dark wizards under Hai Erbo - they have already heard through some channels how terrible those dark wizards who are causing trouble in the city of London are!
However, after Maka came to this side hall, she didn't give them much time to calm down, and just said hello casually. Then he began to arrange tasks for Lucius.
But... something is wrong!
Maka always felt that there was something strange lingering in her heart, as if she had some information that she hadn't noticed... or that she had made a mistake somewhere.
"... By the way, don't forget that there is also Cornelius Fudge - although his family does not have a long history, he is also the previous Minister of Magic, so it is worth asking."
As Maka was talking, she suddenly reminded her as if she thought of something:
"However, Connelly is already dead after all, and even his body was not found in the end. When you go to his home to inquire, remember to be tactful."
After adding another sentence, he frowned slightly and said:
"Anyway, that's it... I just said at the beginning, don't let go of any clues that may lead to finding the time turner! If you think of anything besides the suggestions I just mentioned, you can also You might as well try to check it out..."
"Finally, if you encounter something difficult to handle, or the clues you find are in London, then you can send a letter to the Leaky Cauldron."
At this point, Maka had already finished saying everything she needed to explain. Then she saw him wave his hand and decisively turned around and walked towards the door.
"Why-"
Maka's words were like a storm, making the Malfoys a little unable to react. Seeing that the other party was about to leave, Lucius quickly stretched out his hand to stop him.
"What's wrong?" Maka turned around for a moment, "Did I speak too fast and didn't understand? Do you want me to say it again?"
"Ah! No, no, no, no, we heard it clearly..." Lucius said, "It's just... you know, it's so dangerous outside now, I'm worried that with my little strength-"
The couple was originally worried about being in danger, so they always hid at home and didn't even dare to leave the door. Even so, they are already considering whether to go abroad to escape.
It was just because Maka came to speak in person. Considering the many favors he had given to the Malfoy family in the past, they really didn't have the nerve to refuse.
On the other side, after hearing the question raised by Lucius, Maka shook her head and said:
"Didn't I tell you everything? You don't need to go to London, just find those families living outside London! At present, Haierbo's energy is still concentrated in London, and he obviously has no time to take care of other places."
As he talked, he saw that Lucius still seemed to have no confidence, so he could only sigh and said:
"If you are really worried, let it follow you!"
At the same time as he said this, Mackar raised his hand slightly, and then a silver-white mist gathered in his palm.
Then, a silver eagle patron saint that was only as big as a palm but looked like a real substance immediately spread its wings and flew out of the light mist. It crossed half of the hall like lightning and landed on Lucius's shoulder.
"Unless you encounter Haierbo directly, otherwise, it will be no problem to at least escape intact." After leaving Lucius with a guarantee, Maka stopped delaying and immediately turned around and opened the door to the side hall. .
"It may take a lot of time to go to the Witte family in a while, so I have to go - Lucius, if you still can't feel at ease even like this, then pray that I can find a usable one directly there. Time turner!"
On this trip to Malfoy Manor, it can be said that Maka arrived suddenly and left in a hurry. But when he walked out of the mansion and came to the vestibule, he couldn't help but paused as he was about to rush to London as soon as possible.
Yes, it was still the strange feeling that flashed through his heart just now, causing him to think hard again involuntarily.
"What...what did I overlook?"
…
The Witte family, an ancient wizard family that relied on magic research.
Until the Middle Ages, although the number of wizarding families that could truly be called "magic families" like the Witte family was limited, there were still quite a few in general.
But as a series of disputes gradually intensified after that, several consecutive large-scale wars led to the decline of many ancient wizard families.
Until now, there are only a handful of ancient wizard families that can survive in various countries and regions, and most of the family's inheritance is more or less lost like the Witte family.
However, the most troublesome thing for the old owner of Wit's family now is "Despicable Haierbo", a genuine ancient wizard. Precisely because the Werther family has some kind of long-standing relationship with Haierbo, even if countless generations have passed, it will not prevent Haierbo from coming to their family to do things.
Just like in the past two days, the Werther family, which has been flooded with people by Haierbo, seems to have no choice but to endure it silently.
There is no doubt that they are not doing this because their ancestors were involved with Haierbo. They just had to obey because of Haierbo's strength.
Moreover, the old head of the Werther family was obviously quite unwilling - otherwise, he would not have hinted that his son, Charlotte's father, would find a way to secretly inform Maka.
Now, in the master's study upstairs in the Witte family mansion... Well, to be honest, he has been waiting very anxiously.
Since there are currently Haierbo's men at home, he can't talk much to his son. So although Charlotte's father knew something about demon summoning, he was obviously not as clear as his own father.
Therefore, what Old Werther hopes most now is that Maca can come over early so that he can directly tell the other party the more detailed information he knows.
Nowadays, apart from Haierbo, he is probably the only one in the world who knows how terrifying the demon summoning technique is - at least that is what Old Werther thinks.
But he didn't know that although Maka finally set foot on the road to his Werther family's mansion at this time, what he was doing was not a matter of demon summoning at all.
And he didn't even know that Maka had already heard from the "eldest daughter" who appeared out of thin air about the major dangers that could be caused after the demon summoning technique was completed.
"call-"
The old head of the family glanced sideways at the wizard sitting on the sofa diagonally opposite, and then let out a long sigh of impatience. The book in his hand has not turned a page for a long time.
"Mr. Witte, is this study too stuffy? Yes, a closed study like this is really not suitable for the elderly to stay for too long!"
After the other party heard the sigh of the old patriarch, he still didn't forget to taunt him. It was obvious that he didn't take the old patriarch of the Witte family seriously.
"Oh, by the way... I think we could change to a room with a window if necessary - that would at least give you more air, wouldn't it?"
"snort."
Old Werther frowned and snorted coldly.
To be honest, if the old master had his temper when he was young, he would have rolled up his sleeves and started a duel with his stick.
But now, he is already so old after all - even Dumbledore would be as old as him if he were still alive. People of his age naturally understand the importance of being patient and patient when it is time to be patient.
Seeing that Old Werther was not having a seizure, the wizard on the sofa couldn't help curling his lips in boredom, then lowered his head and flipped through a magic book casually.
He is a wizard sent by Haierbo to the Witte family to monitor the old family head.
Old Witte has never fought against him, so he cannot determine the opponent's specific strength. But based on his certain understanding of Haierbo, he knew that since Haierbo sent such a guy to guard him, he must have someone to rely on.
When he thought of this, the annoyance in Old Werther's heart became more intense.
He closed his eyes slightly, and after forcing himself to calm down again, he opened his eyes and planned to be patient and continue to turn two pages of the book.
But at this moment, the old man's expression froze slightly.
He saw that just behind the sofa where the annoying male wizard was sitting, a figure had appeared there at some point. At the moment, the man was lowering his eyes slightly, and his eyes fell silently on the back of the monitor's head.
Old Werther was naturally shocked, but after all, he had lived for such a long time, and despite his deep state of mind, he did not show any sudden expression. After just a second's pause, he lowered his head and ignored the sudden figure.
But in his heart, he was still secretly relieved:
"This McClain...is finally here."
That's right, the person standing behind the male wizard at this moment was Maka, who had quickly returned to London. After entering the underground black market and quickly arriving at the Witte Mansion, knowing that there was Haierbo's men here, he decisively chose to sneak in first to explore the situation.
But now, he has obviously reached all the way to Old Werther's study.
