If the long period of time has carved sinisterness and cunning into Haierbo, then what it has left behind in Witch Kern is probably all grace.
She obviously has a youthful appearance that is not much older than Harry next to her, but the temperament that is constantly exuding from her body and her pair of aqua blue eyes that are as clear as gems seem to be shining only through the long time. It can only be accumulated over the years...
"Tolerant of everything? No, although it is similar to 'motherhood', it is definitely not." Maka shook her head secretly, denying the initial idea in her heart, "If I have to say it, maybe it will be more like the feeling the queen gave me back then. , but this person in front of me obviously wants to be more... well, the 'Queen of the Magical World'? It sounds a bit scary!"
Yes, at least Maka believes that the temperament exuded from the witch Kern is definitely not the so-called "tolerance" - on the contrary, it is a more forceful attempt to reject and isolate all external will.
It's just that it is too dense and too broad, which gives people the illusion that it can wrap anyone's spirit in it.
Want to hear our thoughts
No, don't be stupid! I couldn't believe a word of what she said.
"Harry, I think we should go."
As Maka said this, she stood up and stretched out her hand to tug on Harry's sleeve, wanting to go back to the corridor where she came from.
If you want to evacuate the castle, walking through the auditorium and through the main entrance is naturally the closest, but only with the permission of the person currently sitting in the center of the auditorium.
And judging from the current situation, will the other party just let them leave calmly
Anyway, Maka didn't want to gamble, because after a period of careful observation, he found that he couldn't see through the beautiful ancient lady in front of him at all.
"Huh? Hmm."
Harry, who didn't know what to do, couldn't help but stand up and was pulled back. Fortunately, his physical ability was much stronger now than before. Even though he was pulled by Maka, he didn't stagger much.
However, before taking a few steps back, he found that Maka had stopped again.
"how-"
"The 'door' is closed."
Calculating the distance, it should take about ten steps to retreat to the side door, and then the black fog blocking the door frame will be gone. To retreat to the corridor from here, you must step into the black fog.
At this moment, the side hall door submerged in the black mist was actually not closed - although it could not be seen, the "door" Maka mentioned was not actually it.
Just as he was retreating, he suddenly noticed that the magic power that had been surging in the black mist behind him suddenly became much more turbulent and intense than before. Although he was not sure what that meant specifically, he felt that it was better not to go in yet!
Obviously, this was a way for the person in front to tactfully convey his intention of "staying as a guest" to them.
Of course, if neither of them notices it and still retreats into the end of the fog... People who don't even have this kind of perception ability probably don't have the qualifications for her to specifically retain them... right
Maka shook her head and smiled, letting go of Harry's sleeve. Then this time, he only patted Harry twice on the shoulder, and then took a step forward, striding towards the center of the auditorium.
"Ms. Kern, did you just want to ask us what we think? Okay... If you really want to hear it, I actually wouldn't mind having a brief chat with you... "
"Will what you say be what I want to hear?"
Witch Kern looked at him calmly, with a twinkling look in her eyes that Maka couldn't understand. But he did understand what the other party said - there was no doubt that the other party didn't want to hear what he had to say.
"Uh," Maka immediately stopped moving forward, paused and thought for a moment, then shrugged, "Then... okay! As you wish, ma'am."
Having said this, Maka turned her head, glanced at Harry, who was still in the same place, and then tilted her head to signal to the latter.
Originally, he seemed to want to withstand the "power" of Ms. Kern by himself, so that Harry might be able to leave this most dangerous place first, and it would obviously be much easier for him to do whatever he wanted to do in the future. .
It's a pity that Witch Kern seems... not interested in him
"Kern... uh, ma'am." Harry was stunned for a moment before reacting. His eyes turned from Maka to the mysterious ancient Greek witch, hesitating a little, but then gradually became determined, "What do you want to hear? What do I think? I don’t know what there is to say, but if you want to hear it... then I’ll tell you!”
While saying these words, Harry was already walking forward like Maka just now, with each step getting bigger and bigger. It can be seen that the pressure in his heart is actually very great, but with the constant self-encouragement in his heart, his courage has gradually overcome the heavy pressure that the other party has brought to him.
It's just that when he passed by Maka, he didn't give any signal like Maka did just now - even just exchanging a look - because after all, he no longer had any spare time.
"I remember that Haierpo caused this terrible disaster for you, right? I heard not long ago that you planned to use this disaster to turn all humans into living corpses... "
Maka watched Harry walking beside her step by step. Each step seemed to be making a hole in the floor. With his increasingly serious tone, although the whole person's walking movements looked... A little stiff, but gradually accumulated a quite authoritative momentum.
Was Harry trying to refute the other party with words
of course not! He has never been that kind of person.
He probably just wants to bite the bullet now, release the breath he has been holding in his chest, and then fight desperately.
Didn't you see that the Gryffindor sword hanging by his side was already trembling slightly at its tip? That was the greatest proof that his right hand holding the sword hilt had used 100% of his strength!
"It seems that Harry didn't want to give me a chance to see if he could free up someone to hide in the dark first..." Maka looked at his back, secretly observing the surrounding situation, and said to herself in her heart, "Of course , it seems that there really is no chance at all?”
In front of Ms. Kern, all small actions seemed to be meaningless. The other party's seemingly ubiquitous spiritual power almost made goosebumps appear on Maka's arms.
"...and now," Harry said in a deep voice, "you have finally appeared in front of us in person, but you still don't seem to understand why we are against you?"
