"Is this my life? I graduated from Hogwarts with 'excellent' grades in all subjects. I joined the Legal Enforcement Department of the British Ministry of Magic at the age of nineteen. I was hired as a professor at Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry at the age of thirty. At the age of ten, he was specially appointed by the Space Broom Co., Ltd. as the leader of the new broomstick research and development team."
"In his fifties, he resigned and entered the Muggle world. He spent a lot of time among the members of the British royal family. When he was in his sixties, he gained the Queen's trust as the chief bishop of England..."
"As a result, we have ended up in this situation now."
"Looking back now, I think I have been busy all my life, but how many things have I succeeded in?"
In the cell of that small underground prison, old Davidson leaned against the cold wall, his heart already filled with despair.
To be honest, he has almost never been so downcast in his life. Even if he has setbacks from time to time, he has always believed that he is a person who can achieve great things. And how can anyone who achieves great things give up his ideals and persistence because of some small setbacks
But this time, when he witnessed the confrontation between Maka and Haierbo, he finally truly saw the reality that he was just an "ordinary person".
Even if he doesn't want to admit it, he is indeed no longer young.
"Kant should have arrived in front of Halpo, right? If Halpo is willing to pay attention to him..." Davidson half-closed his eyes, thinking secretly in the dark dungeon, and finally shook his head slightly.
"No, let's forget it! Even if that kid Kant can successfully negotiate with Haierbo, it will be his chance. What does it have to do with me? From the moment he was discovered by the prophet in advance, he will never There’s nothing wrong with me.”
Thinking of this, Davidson couldn't help but stretched out his hand to touch the white beard on his chin and sighed deeply.
But at this moment, he heard a "clang" sound coming from outside - it was the movement of the magic elevator, which he had also ridden in when he was brought here.
When he realized that someone had finally come down, he hurriedly dragged the shackles on his feet, hurried to the cell door, grabbed the iron fence and looked out.
…
"Watch what I do? Lead the way-"
When Maka came out of the elevator, she saw the two wizards guarding outside looking at him and took a few steps back in fright.
Of course Ursula knew that she was the one who scared the two prison guards, so she lowered her head subconsciously.
Obviously, although she has made up her mind not to care about her appearance anymore, she is still very frightened when she actually sees others being frightened by her.
This problem has been bothering her for so many years, so how can she really not care if she doesn't care
However, Maka obviously didn't have the time to worry about these things. Seeing the two people staring at Ursula in his arms as if they had seen a ghost, they couldn't help but shake their heads, and then ignored them and walked quickly between the two stunned people.
"It seems that the guards in your organization need more training. With this kind of psychological quality, it can spoil big things at critical moments!"
It was only then that the two prison guards finally reacted and quickly drew out their wands and pointed at Maka's back, which had already walked a long distance.
"S-stop! This is-"
"It was your prophet who asked me to come here," Maka interrupted him without looking back, "Maybe you have heard of my name, I am Maka McClain."
Before he finished speaking, he had already passed through the short corridor, turned a corner and walked directly into the stone room at the end of the corridor.
As soon as he entered, he finally saw Davidson's old face, who was holding on to the fence and looking out.
After several days in prison, this old wizard, who was always very energetic, became much more embarrassed. The gray and white messy hair is tangled together, and the wrinkled face is stained with dust and dirt. Although the robe on his body is not torn, it is also dirty, and it has long lost its cleanliness in the past.
"We haven't seen each other for a while?" Maka stood for a moment in front of the other party's cell door and said calmly, "It seems that you are restless again?"
"McLean..."
When Old Davidson first saw Ursula being held by Maka, his heart couldn't help but beat violently. After all, that terrifying appearance really tested one's psychological endurance. But fortunately, he has lived to such a long age after all, and he is not so frightened that he was numb and speechless like the two guards just now.
What's more, there are many things that are far more important than seeing Ursula's appearance at the moment.
"McLean," Old Davidson just paused for a moment, then looked away from Ursula and looked at Maka's face again, "You... know everything?"
"What do you know?" Maka looked at the old man through the iron gate and said calmly, "Oh, you are referring to the 'whistleblower' plan that you planned to betray everyone?"
"I-"
Old Davidson originally wanted to deny Maka's so-called "betrayal of everyone", but as soon as he opened his mouth and uttered one word, he swallowed all the words he tried to defend with a heavy look on his face.
When it comes to "betrayal", although he is definitely not betraying "everyone", once the "bad idea" he came up with really succeeds, it will definitely hurt many people.
"Yes, I betrayed you..."
"Me?" Seeing what he said, Maka immediately shook her head and said, "I have never regarded you as a companion from the beginning. You should know this well, so to me, you are talking about nothing. It’s nothing more than ‘betrayal’.”
Just as he was speaking, Maka suddenly paused, then curled his lips and said:
"Yes, at best, you are 'against' me!"
As soon as the words fell, before old Davidson could say anything else, Maka waved her hand and put aside the "betrayal" and "antagonism" for the time being.
"I don't have any extra time to talk to you about this. Let's get straight to the point!" Maka said, "I've heard about your plan that you didn't even have time to implement. Then, I hope you can answer me well. One question - Haierbo, have you sent anyone there?"
"What?"
Old Davidson did not even inform the prince about asking one of his students to find Halbo on his behalf, and even Ursula, the prophet, did not know about it. But he didn't expect that Maka would reveal his last little plan almost as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Is it weird?" Maka frowned slightly, "But the fact is that Haierbodu sent his men to find you! So I can guess this, so naturally there is nothing surprising, right? ?”
