Chapter 216: Acting crazy

Views:

"Good evening to everyone in the Werther family!"

Under the dim street lights, Maka, wearing an old and simple dark blue wizard robe, gracefully bowed. There is a strange jumping feeling in his tone, which makes people unconsciously think of the way of reciting ancient magic texts.

But in the next moment, Maka, who was bending down to salute, suddenly raised her head, with a strange and chilling smile on her face.

"...Maka Diher, here to offer you the most wonderful blessings!"

It is said that the Diher family has been a family with many talented wizards since the founding of their ancestors. This has always been the case whether it was the mainstream magic research at the beginning or the introduction of soul magic in the mid-term.

However, the wisdom of the members of the Diher family did not bring them peace of mind.

Starting from the ancestor who created the Diher family, all outstanding family members have an extremely unstable mental state.

It doesn’t matter if there is only a fine line between genius and madness, or if the family bloodline has a curse buried deep from the beginning. In short, it was a powerful family that left everyone scratching their heads.

Regarding this, there are only rough descriptions rather than detailed records in Rowena's secret library.

Because of this, what Maka has to do now is to find ways to understand the so-called "unstable mental state" and deduce it.

I have to say, the feeling of being a madman with a weird personality... I don't know why, it's quite touching.

"Diher... The Diher family..." The old wizard of the Witte family in front of him frowned. The wand hidden in his sleeve was tightly held by him, and the wavering in his eyes was clearly revealed.

"Impossible! It is clearly written in the family annals that the Dihel family has been completely wiped out as early as ancient times! Where did you come from, kid?"

"Silence!"

Next to the old wizard, another middle-aged wizard suddenly opened his mouth to question, but was sternly stopped by the old wizard.

"Mr. Diher... Although it is very rude, but... the Diher family more than three thousand years ago..." the old wizard said seriously, "I don't know what the important matter is for Mr. Diher's sudden arrival. Is there anyone who can identify himself?" Prove it?”

Although the old wizard asked this question, he saw that everything about Maka was exactly the same as what was recorded in the ancient books... or even worse, which made people feel a creepy sense of reality.

Maka only straightened up now. He put away the weird smile on his face and nodded slightly as if calmly.

"Proof?" He began to think incomprehensibly, "Of course, of course, it is a reasonable and reasonable request... Of course, of course! Then the question is, I want to prove that I am me, what method should I use to prove it? Samos’ soul balance theorem? Or Goetheger’s soul mass equation?”

"Wonderful... This is so wonderful!" Maka opened her eyes wide with all her strength, as if she wanted to pop them out, and laughed out of nowhere, "Humph... Hahahaha..."

Suddenly, the crazy laughter that had just started stopped abruptly. With a wave of his wand, a giant black fog skull that was 30 feet wide rushed straight towards the members of the Witte family.

"... Doesn't this prove it?" He rubbed his scalp with his wand, seemingly asking himself, and also seeming to be having a conversation with them, "Oh - it seems to be a bit too complicated, isn't it?"

It's obvious that Maka acted very hard.

That’s right, it’s “hard work”!

The more he devoted himself to it, the more he discovered that if he wanted to play this kind of role well, he had to risk cramps and use all his strength to make expressions and movements as exaggerated as possible.

In order to stun the Witte family, the soul-impacting magic he just cast was actually close to the limit of the spell itself.

After all, it was just an incomplete spell that he had excerpted and repaired. The lower limit of its power was very high, but in comparison, its upper limit seemed a bit low.

If the other party has also dabbled in soul magic, the effect of this spell will most likely be reduced, and it may even be completely resisted by the old wizard who is obviously not easy to deal with.

Although Maka still masters some soul magic, the effects of those spells are not suitable for "saying hello".

If you go too far, it will inevitably lead to passive resistance from the other party - he is not here to compete this time. There is a "degree" issue that must be grasped, which is one of the difficulties.

Sure enough, although Maka was not sure what was recorded in "Abatail", she was certain that there must be books related to soul magic in the Witte family's collection.

The old wizard also showed his wand and moved forward with a serious expression.

Silently, a vague barrier flashed in front of him. The black skull released by Maka seemed to have hit an elastic wall, and its speed slowed down visibly. .

However, it was a little slow, but the huge black fog skull shadow was obviously still moving forward. As a last resort, the members of the Witte family dispersed immediately and ran to both sides of the front yard.

The next moment, the old wizard who held the skull shadow by his own strength also quickly avoided it. The skull shadow that escaped from the restraints accelerated again and rushed into the hall of Werther's mansion, and quickly dissipated.

"The powerful and weird soul magic... is exactly as described in the record," the old wizard looked at Maka cautiously, then nodded slightly and said, "The Witte family welcomes distinguished guests. Please come to the hall to take a rest. I believe that the head of the family I’d be happy to meet you.”

"Old housekeeper... That young man who claims to be a descendant of Dihel looks suspicious no matter how you look at him! His insane look is just like... It's just like..."

On the stairs leading to the master's study, the middle-aged wizard followed the old wizard and kept expressing his doubts.

"Abnormal is reasonable..." the old wizard, whom he called the butler, squinted his eyes and said, "According to some ancient documents, all members of the Diher family are geniuses, but also all are madmen. "

"But-"

"You don't understand..." the old wizard shook his head and said, "There is no need to follow him anymore... Inform everyone in the family to treat that distinguished guest with caution and not to slack off at all."

After that, he continued to walk upstairs to explain the situation to the owner of the house.

After a while, in the study room on the third floor...

"The Dihel family... Since there are still descendants of that family, I am not surprised at all that they chose to appear at this time. I'm afraid... they must have noticed the 'shock' more than two years ago, right? "

The current head of the Witte family is also quite old. Just looking at his white beard and hair, it is estimated that Dumbledore is not much older than him.

But unlike Dumbledore, this old man's eyes had deep sternness hidden in them. In Maka's words - this old man is by no means a "good guy"!

He was wearing a simple outfit that was somewhat similar to the wizard's robe on Maka, with a black background and gold rims, and the coat of arms of the Werther family embroidered on the collar. The simplicity contained a sense of mystery that originated from ancient times.

"Bano, since you have tested the young man from the Dihel family...how do you feel?" The old family leader thought for a moment and then asked about Maka's situation.

"Powerful! It is completely consistent with what is recorded in the literature. The soul magic is unusually powerful! That is not the strength he should have at that age..." the old housekeeper said, then hesitated, "But... he looks... seems to be... The 'Maka McClain' that was published in the Daily Prophet before?"

"Dumbledore has gained another 'good student'..." The old master chuckled, and then said thoughtfully, "It seems that the wizarding world is going to be uneasy again..."

"What about our Witte family?"

"No rush, let's go meet the distinguished guest first..." the old head of the family said calmly, "No matter whether the Dihel family has been secretly gathering strength or has fallen into decline... Even if it actually only has one descendant left, that's not the case. An existence that can be dealt with casually.”

"I have already notified them, asking them to 'respond with caution and not to slack off'."

"It should be so." The old master nodded, then stood up and said, "Then let's go down and have a look!"

Under the instructions of the old butler "not to slack off in the slightest", the Werther family, which was always strict in rules and seemed a bit deserted, suddenly became busy.

The house elves were working non-stop, planning to prepare a sumptuous supper first; the family members who had gone to bed were woken up one by one, and whether they liked it or not, they all had to get out of bed first; there were only a few people at first. The Werther mansion, whose windows were still open, was suddenly illuminated by bright or dim lights.

Not long after returning to the family mansion, Charlotte, who was looking expressionlessly out the window in a daze, was also disturbed by the frequent footsteps outside the room.

She looked at the door with a blank expression, and then turned her gaze to the lifeless black "sky" outside the window, as if everything had nothing to do with her anymore.

As for what happened at home—what does it have to do with her

On the window glass, Charlotte's pale but still beautiful face was reflected by the light. It looked extremely haggard, but it also contained some inexplicable strength.

"I don't know what the junior is doing right now... Are you still studying those magical principles that you can't even understand?" Charlotte said to herself, "He... will still go to that old apartment building to look for me. ? If he can’t see me...will he be anxious? "

As she spoke, a long-lost playful smile appeared on Charlotte's face, just like how she teased Maka in school in the past, with an indescribable brightness.

"Study your magic carefully, senior sister will watch you silently... and watch you grow into a great wizard even more powerful than the principal!"
