Putting aside the conversation between Safina and Hermione, at least the two Geofine sisters' previous decision to go to Weymouth Camp is probably not going to change.
After all, Winchester is indeed a very dangerous place for Ursula, who is not yet strong enough, and Safina will definitely not want her sister to stay here.
Therefore, faced with the fact that the defensive strength of the ancient city of Winchester has dropped sharply, Hermione and the others obviously need to make another important decision about whether to stay or where to go.
But before that, another thing is happening that is also worthy of attention.
"...What are you talking about? That's Maka!"
On the side of the coastal road near the port of Cherbourg, Willy's words caused everyone present to shut up with different expressions.
Yes, Willie was very angry because she noticed from the old housekeeper's previous words that someone seemed to be suspicious of Maka.
"Isn't everything Maka has done for everyone so far not enough? Old housekeeper, I don't want to hear 'bad words' about Maka anymore, do you understand?"
She looked at the old housekeeper and said this seriously, then turned back and said:
"Dad, it's time for us to go to Beauxbatons... Delphi, do you want to come with us?"
On the other side, Mr. Blois nodded to his daughter first, and then looked at each other with the old butler who was standing aside with a rather gloomy expression.
While Willy went to ask Delphi, Blois couldn't help but say:
"I can see that you are asking for Mr. Weasley, but... as Willy said, we don't need to be wary or suspicious of Mr. McClane."
After saying that, he put his hand on the old butler's shoulder, nodded slightly to the latter and said:
"Don't worry, Willy was just a little angry just now... Although, well, it's rare for her to be like this - believe me, she still trusts you."
"I know."
At this moment, the old housekeeper's mood was probably like that of a grandfather who was disliked by his very beloved granddaughter. He was obviously still very shocked. However, a "granddaughter" is still a "granddaughter" after all, and the old housekeeper's love for Willie is naturally still the same as before.
However, Charlie's heart was somewhat complicated at this moment.
It must be admitted that Willy was right in what he just said. It was inappropriate to doubt Maka, especially after he had already confirmed that the Maka at that time was indeed Maka herself.
But... if he didn't doubt Maka, then who else could he doubt? Do you still have to doubt yourself? After all, before Maka expelled him from Hogwarts, she actually said some very concerning words!
"This problem... Where does it come from?" Charlie turned his head and looked at the small figure of Norbert hovering in the sky, and couldn't help but whisper to himself.
Not long after, the three Blois family members, including the old butler, were ready to return to Beauxbatons. Delphi, on the other hand, decided to at least go with Willie at her invitation - she was curious about why Maka asked Willie to leave her and return to France.
So, after the four of them apparated away together, Charlie was the only one left on the coastal road.
Of course, what's more important is that none of his original goals seem to have been achieved.
"hiss-"
Charlie stood there looking at the sea not far away, scratched his head vigorously, and finally decided to return to the Weymouth camp for the time being and tell Percy about this failure.
It's better for two people to worry together than for him to have a headache and worry alone, isn't it
Thinking of this, Charlie took out the dragon whistle and blew it high into the sky, calling down the fire dragon Norbert. Then he climbed onto the dragon's back skillfully and neatly, and flew over the strait with the sound of howling wind.
Under the strong wind blowing in front of him, Charlie stretched out his hand slightly weakly and patted Norberta's neck, and said loudly against the strong airflow:
"You were the first to notice that Maka was at Hogwarts—you should tell me what you felt from Maka!"
"Roar-"
Norberta shook her big head and roared lowly, but Charlie could only sigh and shake his head.
"It would be great if you could speak human language."
…
In fact, even if Norberta could talk, all she could tell Charlie was her fear of Maca—yes, only fear.
After all, she was originally tamed by Maka using the soul rules.
And if Charlie wants to truly know the secrets behind Maka's strange behaviors, now there seems to be no other way except to find a way to get Maka to tell it personally.
Oh no, maybe... he can ask Haierbo
At this moment, in the hall of Buckingham Palace in London, Herbo himself, who seemed to have been silent for a long time recently, was still sitting on the high throne.
He closed his eyes slightly and remained motionless. Since he didn't even need to breathe, he looked like a terrifying and ferocious statue.
It can be seen that the damage caused to his body by forcibly changing the direction of the meteorite has not yet completely recovered, but it has recovered a lot - half of his face that originally exposed a large piece of skull has been completely recovered, and his entire arm was completely worn away by the meteorite. All that's missing is a palm.
To be honest, this injury is probably not that serious to him.
However, Haierbo still sat there silently, showing no intention of opening his eyes and standing up to move.
There was no doubt what he was waiting for.
What is worth mentioning is that what Maka and Willy saw when they came over before, the few high-level living corpses standing in two rows under the steps of the throne, were obviously much more now, almost. They have all lined up at the express door.
But if you take a closer look, you will find that the few attacks that were blocked by Maka were now the only ones left that looked like twins.
However, Haierbo obviously didn't care about this at all. Because there was only one thing left that he cared about right now.
At this moment, when there were obviously many high-level zombies, but it was still as quiet as if there was no one around, Haierbo, who had not moved for a long time, finally opened his eyes.
When the dark and extremely deep eyeballs suddenly looked towards the world outside the door, all the high-level living corpses in the dead silent hall lowered their heads, and no one dared to look at them.
The next moment, a hoarse and low voice echoed in the silent hall.
"Why... hasn't it started yet?"
