"Ah! Mr. MacLean, are you awake?"
The old housekeeper who had just opened the door was inevitably stunned when he saw Maka. After all, he saw with his own eyes that Maka looked like she might die at any moment when she was brought back by Mr. Blois.
"Yes... Mr. Butler, if you have anything to say, please tell me immediately! The way you opened the door just now, you seemed to be in a hurry, right?"
"Uh... um."
Maka's words made the old housekeeper slightly startled again. But it's no wonder, judging from his reaction when he saw Maka just now, even if something happened, he was assuming that Maka was still in a coma!
Sure enough, after a slight hesitation, the old housekeeper said:
"Actually... Mr. McLean, I was originally going to let you make some preparations - the head of the family has made a decision, and we... may have to leave here at any time."
Upon hearing this, Hermione and others looked at him in surprise, and Maka, who was in the middle of everyone, immediately said:
"what happens?"
Before he finished speaking, he hesitated and said, as if he was asking a question to himself.
"Is... Is Herbo going to France?"
"Based on the latest urgent news received so far, maybe things are just as Mr. MacLean said," the old butler couldn't help but nodded when he heard this, "because... the fog that just returned to London not long ago began to go back to London again." It has moved back and has probably reached the eastern coast of Kent again."
"That guy really sees me as a thorn in his side!"
Maka, who didn't know whether to be happy about being taken seriously by an enemy as powerful as Haierpo or worried about the opponent's persistent pursuit, could only shake her head with a wry smile.
At this moment, the old housekeeper continued to say:
"Mr. McClain, the head of the family thought that you hadn't woken up yet, so he just wanted the ladies and others to make preparations to evacuate you... However, now that you have woken up, then..."
As he spoke, the old housekeeper couldn't help but sigh, and then said calmly:
"Actually, the head of the family is a little undecided at the moment - Mr. McLean, tell me, what should we do next? Fight... or flee?"
However, the old housekeeper did not expect that this time Maka answered unexpectedly quickly!
"Of course I'm running away!"
As soon as the words came out, before everyone could react, Maka immediately lifted the quilt covering her body and then turned over and got out of bed.
Upon seeing this, Delphi immediately stretched out her hand to stop him.
"Your injury!"
"It's okay, all the physical injuries have recovered..."
Before he finished speaking, Maka, who had just stood up on the edge of the bed, felt her legs go weak. Luna, who had been called to her side before, saw this and hurriedly hugged his arm and helped him back to sit on the bed. Come down.
"Maka, stop being so brave!" Hermione on the other side said with a worried look, "Of course you can leave, but there's no rush yet... I'm more worried about the situation on Harry's side than on our side. "
Seeing Hermione mentioning Harry, Ginny's face couldn't help but become more sad.
"Maka, let Harry and Sirius come back first?" She thought about it and couldn't help but say this.
Maka, who had just been helped back to bed, heard this and immediately nodded and said:
"That's what I plan to do, but... remember not to mention my current status when informing him. Otherwise, I'm worried that he will act out of anger."
Others would say it was okay, but if it were Harry, after learning that Maka was seriously injured and lost her ability to fight, he would definitely take all the responsibilities that Maka had originally shouldered onto himself.
After all, no matter what, he is the only one who has the sword of Gryffindor and can hurt... no, he has already hurt Helbo. Coupled with his innate sense of responsibility, I'm afraid not many people can stop him now.
After watching Ginny turn away from the room and run to send a message to Harry and Sirius, Maka brought the topic back to the evacuation of Blois Castle.
I saw him shaking his head at Hermione and saying very seriously:
"Although Harry's side is very important, and he does need to be withdrawn immediately, but we are definitely not in a 'no hurry' situation here. If you want to leave, you must leave as soon as possible - Mr. Butler, please feel free to explain my words directly. Please tell Mr. Blois! And... I'm sorry, but it has caused huge trouble to your Blois family."
"Maka, please don't say that," Willy looked at his still pale face, pursed her lips and said, "When you lifted the curse for me, you saved not just me. - This is of great significance to the future of our entire family. So, whether it is for my father and I personally, or for our Blois family, we are just repaying the favor."
As soon as she finished speaking, the old housekeeper quickly echoed:
"Yes! Just like what the young lady said, the head of the family must have the same idea - Mr. MacLean, you will be the Blois family's forever friend!"
"Oh! Thank you, but in this case, we have to escape from Herbo's pursuit as soon as possible. Mr. Butler, please go and inform Mr. Blois!"
…
Escape is not a decision that can be made lightly. This is obviously true for Maca and Mr. Blois.
Because if there are people who can escape, there must be people who cannot escape. If the fog continues to move towards France, once it crosses the Strait of Dover, the Muggles in Calais will definitely suffer.
Yes, in the final analysis, the most unlucky ones are Muggles.
As a former Muggle, to be honest, Maka still hopes to prevent people from being harmed as much as possible, and he has indeed been doing so during this period of time.
But now, he has lost the ability to resist Haierbo.
Who could have expected that Maka, who was still doing experiments not long ago, trying to let the Muggles gradually master some self-preservation abilities, would now be in a situation where she couldn't even take care of herself
Fortunately, it soon became clear that the situation was not so critical that it could get out of hand. After Maka was seriously injured to the point of losing her strength, Haierbo was not yet able to cover the sky with one hand.
However, the big event that happens next may also become the trigger that plunges the entire Europe...and even the entire world into complete chaos.
Just as Trelawney predicted not long ago—the real chaos is about to begin!
