"Weili, it's really hard for you to block so many enemies' attacks here! But please hold on a little longer. Maka and I will go in now, and everything will be over soon... Regardless of whether it is a success or not, Still failed... Hermione didn't say anything before. She asked me to tell you for her at this time. She said... 'If it takes too long and we still haven't come out, you and Safina can retreat first! Yours The power of blood has just awakened. If you have more time to dig out and inherit it, you will definitely be stronger in the future than you are now' - these are roughly her original words, although it sounds a bit like she is forcing responsibility on you. But you know, in fact, there are not many people who she can truly trust and who are capable of accepting this request!"
Although Harry was anxious about the situation in the castle, he really didn't want to delay any longer. But after seeing Willie, he still kept in mind Hermione's secret instructions beforehand, so he suppressed his anxiety and said everything he needed to say according to Hermione's instructions.
"in addition… "
Having said this, Harry subconsciously turned his head and glanced in the direction of the castle gate. That side was currently obscured by dense woods, but he knew that there should be a figure silently guarding there at the moment - as the last line of defense in front of the castle.
"Miss Geofine is a kind person. Although she is unforgiving and always says, 'This is all just a transaction.' But what she has done for us has gone far beyond The scope of her so-called 'deal' is over! After this time is over, no matter what the outcome is, let her take her sister away from the center of the whirlpool of this disaster! These terrible things should not be borne by their sisters in the first place. of."
When the word "deal" was mentioned, Harry turned his head and glanced at Maka, but Maka on the side just smiled and shrugged.
Harry thought for a while and said nothing more. Only after he finished speaking, did he look at Willie again, who was leaning against the tree in front of him.
Not far away, the girl listened to Harry's words quietly. After listening to it, she still seemed to be savoring something carefully, and then she nodded lightly after a few seconds.
"This is the responsibility that the Blois family has to bear, so don't worry... However, no one knows the result of this time! Right?"
Willie said calmly, her eyes lingering on Harry's face for a moment before finally falling back to Maka beside him.
"Maka," the girl said, "there is something I forgot to mention before - I have completed the task you gave me."
"oh?"
Maka paused, seeming to be recalling something, but seemed not to be thinking about anything.
Then he nodded too.
"Okay!" Maka said with a smile.
After everything that needed to be explained, Harry, who was eager to know what was going on in the castle, finally couldn't help but pulled Maka's arm and said:
"We should go!"
I just didn't expect that Maka, who has always been so calm and unhurried, is still so calm and unhurried now...
"Don't worry, I also have something to say to Willie." He patted the hand that Harry was holding on to and said.
"ah?"
Harry was somewhat reluctant. After all, although the explanation just now was important, it did take a lot of time. At this critical juncture, procrastination can cost lives.
But since Maka said that, he thought about it and let go of his hand for the time being.
"Don't worry, it won't be long." Maka nodded slightly at him, then walked straight to Willy and said, "Willy, how is Mr. Blois? I haven't found a chance to talk to him this time. Let’s meet and hope he won’t blame…”
…
"Oh, is it almost time?"
Not long ago... that was probably when Harry met Maka in the Forbidden Forest! In the auditorium, the witch Kern, who was calmly explaining the secrets of rules and magic to Rebes and other "new humans", seemed to suddenly feel some change and suddenly raised her head.
Then everyone in the back hall saw that the magical sky above their heads, which was originally gray and seemed to have been damaged, suddenly seemed to clear the clouds and reveal the sun, and began to show the appearance of the outside sky.
Yes, just like the Hogwarts Great Hall it once was.
But what everyone saw there was the small patch of cloudless clear sky directly above the castle that had been deliberately left open before. Now, for some reason, it began to be swallowed up by clouds.
Was Kern letting go of his previous control
No, obviously, that's not the case.
She seemed to have said something just now...
"What's 'the time's almost up'?" Hermione, who had previously only been thinking about stalling for time, couldn't help but ask, "What's happening outside?"
"Why should I tell you?" Kern, who had never spoken to Hermione and others this time, finally looked at Hermione and said, "Since you don't agree with what I'm doing, then even if we don't Enemies, but at least not friends, right? If I tell you everything even though I know you will come to stop me, wouldn’t I be too stupid?"
When Kern said this, her expression remained as calm as before, and even a joking tone could be heard in her modern English that became more and more fluent as she spoke. However, when compared with the previous way of speaking to Rebes and his party, the subjective alienation can still be clearly heard.
However, Hermione no longer has the time to examine such insignificant details one by one. Because when Kern took the initiative to point out this attitude, she suddenly realized that this seemed to be the case - even though the other party seemed to be completely unprepared for their group just now, he just said it in front of them without hesitation. "The Secret of Rules of Magic" is an extremely precious and meaningful magical knowledge.
But now it seems that although that bit of knowledge is important, it can even further clear the way for wizards like Hermione and Luna who have already had initial contact with regular magic. However, this level of "pointing out" does not have any practical help for the current situation they need to face. On the contrary, it can allow them to see the gap in strength clearly.
But at this moment, when changes that could really help Hermione and the others suddenly appeared, she stopped talking.
"I have to admit, you are right." Hermione took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and then listened to her, "But there is one sentence you said wrong."
"What are you talking about?" Kern looked at her and asked.
Hermione paused, but her eyes were still elsewhere, obviously guarding against the possible existence of magic or abilities similar to Legilimency.
However, her tone this time was not evasive at all...
