"That guy Haierbo...is indeed here."
Under the cover of night, Maka stood among the ruins of Blois Castle and looked around, muttering to herself.
Yes, in the evening today, he finally left the island in Rowena. Due to his own problems, he really couldn't continue to be in the same place with his friends. At present, except for Delphi, whom he had already explained in advance, no one else knew that he was no longer on the island.
However, the first place he visited after leaving the island was the ruins of the French Fort of Blois.
When he used the rune array to move away from here, he was worried that Haierbo would still discover their whereabouts. Although Haierbo did not go to "visit" the island afterwards, who knows if that old and cunning guy would deliberately stand still and turn this incident into his back
But now it seems that the problem is not big.
Maka sensed the slight traces of magic left here and estimated:
"... No more than ten days at most. Even if he did come here, he would not be able to leave any valid information when he arrived. It seems that he failed to discover my specific location after the transfer."
After personally confirming the safety of the island, Maka couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief - this time he could finally feel at ease for the time being.
Thinking of this, Maka's heart, which had been hanging around for a while, finally settled down a little. He nodded silently, then turned back rather casually and glanced at the top-floor window of the building not far away.
In fact, not long after arriving here, he had already noticed that there were several pairs of eyes staring at him in that direction, and there were even a few more pairs of eyes following him.
However, just by sensing the magic power fluctuations and soul states of those among them, he knew that these people were definitely not Haierbo's subordinates, let alone Haierbo himself.
As for who is staring at him at the moment, Maka is not very interested - he is not in a good state at the moment, and the balance of the two soul rules in his body will collapse at any time. If he hadn't had to come here to confirm whether the island was really safe, he would have been in England by now.
After all, if the problem in his body breaks out here, all the Muggles in the city will die.
So, after looking back and giving a hint of warning to one of the wizards who seemed to be the leader, he planned to leave.
But who knew, the other party suddenly opened the window, jumped down from upstairs and rushed towards him.
"Um?"
Maka felt something and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. After thinking about it, she still didn't leave directly.
That apartment building is naturally not far from the castle ruins. Soon, a rather slim figure in black robe was seen in the night, nimbly climbing over the outer construction fence and stopping a little far away from Maka.
When Maka saw that the other party was wearing a pure white mask and couldn't see his true appearance, she immediately shook her head slightly and did not take the initiative to ask.
But when he didn't speak, the other party spoke.
"Who are you?"
When Maka heard this, she was stunned by her question.
"Not only did you peek at me over there, but you also suddenly ran up to me, but instead asked me who I was?" He frowned slightly and said, "Miss, if you have nothing else, I will leave - I still There’s a lot to deal with!”
"Wait!" Safina quickly stopped Maka and said, "Are you Maka McClain?"
"Oh," Maka raised her eyebrows again after hearing her question, "It seems that it's not a coincidence that you are here, but you are here specifically to wait for me?"
Maka's words were naturally equivalent to indirectly acknowledging his identity. Upon seeing this, Safina nodded immediately and continued:
"Mr. McClain, I did come here specifically to wait for you to show up, but... please believe me, we don't have any ill intentions towards you."
After knowing that the person in front of her was indeed Maka, Safina didn't even know whether she was nervous or relieved now. Because even if the other party wasn't the extremely vicious Haierbo, the first impression left on her by Maka's look just now was too deep.
On the other hand, to be honest, Maka was also quite surprised when he learned that this masked girl was waiting for him here - he rushed here as soon as he left Rowena's island, and this Even Delphi didn't know about it.
After thinking about it, Maka took the initiative to ask for the first time:
"Let's not talk about whether there is any malicious intent... The first thing I want to know is, who are you?"
When Safina saw Maka asking, she quickly calmed down and tried her best to calm herself down as usual. After a pause, she replied:
"I wonder if Mr. MacLean has ever heard of the witch 'Geofine'?"
"Are you referring to the ancient Nordic prophet Geofeien?"
Upon hearing this, Maka pondered for a few seconds, and then suddenly said:
"Oh...that's it! You are the dark wizards in Sweden..."
Maka knew that although the group of dark wizards gathered in Norway and Sweden had kept a low profile, they had lived there for a long time.
It is said that the reason why they have settled nearby and even spontaneously formed an organization since ancient times is because there has been a famous prophet family there since ancient times.
The first ancestor of that prophet family was the ancient witch Geofien, who claimed to know the past and the future. She was so famous that it was even recorded in Nordic mythology by Muggles.
"So, it was the prophet of your generation who asked you to come?"
Seeing that Maka already knew her identity just by mentioning it to her, Safina had to secretly sigh that the other party was knowledgeable. After all, although they are the largest dark wizard organization in the world, they have always been inconspicuous. Apart from the Ministry of Magic and the Muggle royal family in their own country, not many people in other countries know about it.
After a pause, Safina nodded slightly and said:
"Yes... In fact, our prophet wants to talk to you - you should understand that it is about the current disaster and turmoil. We hope that we can cooperate with you to stop the ancient dark wizard's despicable Haier Bo' continues to cause trouble to the world."
Safina said it very seriously, but Maka just shook her head slightly and said:
"I'm sorry, although I do want to go with you to meet your prophet, but I'm afraid that's not possible. Go back and tell her - even if she still knows where I am, don't send any more People are coming to me.”
"In addition... the blood of the prophet is very valuable. If you want to deal with Haierbo, you should protect yourself first!"
