"Enns?"
Maka was undoubtedly quite surprised when she saw Enns in the hall early the next morning.
It can be seen that the opponent has no injuries at all, and the fluctuations in his soul and magic power are all normal. If we had to find some suspicious traces on his body, it would probably just be the dust on his trouser legs and some stains on his shoes!
"Mr. MacLean..."
Just when Maka frowned slightly and stared at Enns with doubts on her face, the wizard from Blois Castle who had brought him before finally stood up, walked to Maka and whispered:
"This is what we saw in his hand when we met him - although he said it was his wand, we looked a little suspicious, so we kept it for him for the time being."
While saying this, the wizard handed over the snake staff that he had collected from Enns.
"Yes." Maka reached out to take it, looked at it a few more times, then nodded and said, "I understand... You can go and report to Mr. Blois! Just leave it to me."
After talking to the other party, Maka waved to Enns who was standing there without speaking, and led him to the rest area on the side of the main hall to sit down.
"What has happened since you were taken away by Herbo yesterday? How come you were met by the search team of the Blois family on the streets of Italy?"
Maka's doubts are naturally easy to understand. To be honest, after Enns was kidnapped by Haierbo, no matter who he was, he would definitely find it difficult to find him again in a short time. As for what vicious things Haierbo will do to him, it is a question that no one can be sure of, but no matter how you think about it, it is not optimistic.
However, who could have imagined that Enns would come back unscathed early the next morning.
"Professor McLean," Enns also sat down with Maca. After hesitating for a long time, he said slowly, "Actually, I don't quite understand it myself... I asked you about it from the beginning yesterday. Why did he 'deliberately' take away only mine? However, that guy Haierbo didn't answer me directly, but first told me a lot of messy past events... "
It could be seen that Enns was actually quite tired - he probably stayed up all night just like Maka last night. However, he still recalled the old things that Halpo told him yesterday, and roughly recounted them to Maka.
"... That's it. Haierbo said that if someone has to be against him, that person should be me. And you... Professor MacLean, he feels that there is no need for you to target him everywhere."
"Um?"
To be honest, the story Enns just mentioned between Herbo and the four founders of Hogwarts is quite long, and there are many details in it that Maka is quite concerned about. However, let's not mention how true this story is...or rather, how much water was secretly added to this story by Haierbo. The last two sentences Enns relayed are quite correct.
Let's not talk about the Maka who was still worried about Rowena's test. Now he is obviously no longer that damn "candidate".
But unfortunately, it is not easy for Maka, who has already become one of the "central figures" in this big trouble, to get out of it.
However, when Maka heard what Enns said, she just pondered for a moment, but did not interrupt him immediately. Because he knew that this was obviously not the most critical place in the conversation between Herbo and Enns.
On the other side, after Enns realized that Maka seemed to have no intention of interrupting, he continued:
"Professor, you should be able to understand how I felt when Helbo said that - he said that I was a descendant of Slytherin. I can still agree with this, but when it comes to other aspects of his remarks, I simply cannot accept it. Oh! Even if, Professor, you give up fighting with Herbo, it’s still impossible for me, Enns Tavon, to get my turn, right?”
Having said this, he hesitated for a while with some embarrassment, and then said:
"But... Professor, I think your biggest question now is why I appear in front of you intact right now, right?"
"Although I really want to tell you directly that I escaped on my own at night when Herbo left for something." Enns said, "But in fact, I also know very well that such a coincidence is not lucky at all. Occasionally, rather than saying that I 'escaped by myself', it would be more accurate to say that I was 'released by Haierbo'..."
As he spoke, he pointed to the snake staff still in Maka's hand and said:
"Look! I was able to get out of that seemingly shabby room, but it contained a lot of magic, all thanks to it. But in the final analysis, it was also after Haierbo was taken away from me. He just threw it back to me!"
"So," Maka said, "does he have something he wants you to tell me? Oh, I mean, besides the past events just now?"
"Yes," Enns nodded. "Before night last night, he told me that he actually wanted to let you make a choice - should you continue to be entangled with him and make the world a mess? Or would both parties be willing to make a choice? Stop, he won't let those demonic auras expand anymore, and you, don't interfere with his magic research anymore."
"what is this?"
Maka couldn't help but frowned after hearing what Enns said.
"Did he really say that? Is there anything more to add?"
If that's all Haierbo said, Maka would probably have to interpret it as that guy was joking with him. After all, how could he still believe that that guy could get along well with him? It is estimated that as soon as the opponent recovers from his injuries, he will immediately come after him.
Fortunately, it seems that Enns has not finished speaking all of Haierbo's words. However, some of the latter content seemed to make him quite hesitant, not knowing whether he should say it or not.
"Enns, what's wrong? Is there anything you can't say?" Maka didn't force him, but just asked in a calm tone.
After Enns heard this, he thought about it for a while, and then said:
"Professor Maclean, it's like this... Helpo told me very bluntly later that he was actually quite tired of the confrontation with you for a while. He needs more and more time to do his magic. Research instead of running around the world all day and wasting energy... "
"So according to himself, his request for a truce this time is serious, because this war with you does not make much sense at all."
"Ah! By the way, there is another sentence that I didn't quite understand. But I remember he also said... If necessary, he can actually take out some 'soul fragments' in the mirror?"
