"Success?"
Not long ago, just in front of the monument, Dumbledore's voice suddenly sounded again, breaking the temporary silence.
And the moment after the words were spoken, Maka, who was sitting on the ground with her back leaning on the base of the stone tablet, slowly opened her half-closed eyes.
Then, Maka turned her head and glanced at the ground beside her. After confirming that the twisted and deformed figure on the ground was indeed gone, she nodded slightly and breathed a sigh of relief.
"This half of Haierbo's soul was finally sent into the body of the alchemy doll by the resurrection stone. As a result, the soul hub between Kern and this side no longer exists. But... using 'immortality' as bait Inducing his students to divide their souls and use the Devouring Mirror as a Horcrux to house half of their souls, he secretly used this to leave a way out for himself to return to the human world... How should I say this? Even if Haierbo was greedy for immortality, he You’re just reaping the consequences, but that woman is not a good person after all!”
Maka looked at the piece of ground that had been vacated by the departure of "a certain remnant soul" and couldn't help but sigh slightly.
"oh!"
As he was speaking, he suddenly smiled as if he remembered something.
"Speaking of which, it seems that she has never regarded Haierbo as her apprentice?"
"But at least, judging from your previous narration, Herbo's admiration for her is true." Dumbledore, who was standing aside, was also looking there and said this at this time.
After hearing this, Maka immediately shrugged, then patted her butt and stood up.
"That makes her even more cold-blooded!" Maka shook her head and curled her lips while patting the ashes that didn't exist at all, "Under 'righteousness', can anything be given up? Even if Her so-called ideal is really 'righteousness', and I don't agree with it! It's no wonder that a selfish guy like me can only be a common person... "
"Haha, then I am also a vulgar person!" Dumbledore said with a hearty smile.
Hearing this, Maka immediately raised her head and waved her hand.
"The professor is different!" He said with a smile, "Even if he is a layman, the professor is a 'great layman', and I can't compare to him!"
"Haha, I'm ashamed."
After all, it was Dumbledore. He knew as soon as he heard that Maka was teasing himself with the words of praise that the world had said about him during his lifetime, and he accepted it humorously and shamelessly, as if he was very satisfied with it.
The two of them chatted and joked casually like this for a while, then calmed down a little and looked at each other.
"So, is she coming here soon?" Dumbledore asked.
Maka then nodded.
"The 'invitation' was placed in front of her, and her 'own owl' was used to deliver the letter... In this situation, even Professor Sprout would be angry, right? What's more, this 'invitation' What’s written in it is something she won’t refuse at all.”
"Um."
Dumbledore pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned his head slightly to look behind him, and at the same time said casually:
"Maybe you all have misunderstood. Pomona's temper is actually not as good as you think! She just likes children very much. You know, when she was young, she was sometimes more fiery than Ron's mother. !”
Behind him, Maka was looking into the distance almost at the same time.
"That's really..." He still didn't forget to add, "It's a bit unimaginable!"
Before he finished speaking, the gray-white mist in the distance suddenly began to flow, and wisps of black mist surged out of it and gradually extended towards this side.
The next moment, as the black mist stretched out like tentacles, the scenes and scenery nearby that had been fixed began to change rapidly...
The staggered and neatly spliced floor tiles rolled up like a giant carpet, and thick giant pillars stood up from the ground.
It's just that most of the new giant pillars are broken, the floor tiles have receded, and the ground no longer looks flat, with pits and some unrealistic withered thorns.
The wind seemed to be blowing in front, making the quiet place no longer only filled with the sounds of Maka and Dumbledore talking, and also brought an even more desolate feeling to the place.
Then, the "sky" that was not too bright became darker, and there was a dull thunder from high up.
Until where Maka and Dumbledore are, one behind the other, they have completely transformed into two completely different worlds.
And now, at the other end of the more desolate world directly in front of them, a figure was walking out of the incoming black mist step by step.
"The place where this huge monument stands should look like this." The visitor said calmly, "This is the scene around it when I first met it."
"More than two thousand years ago?" Maka nodded slightly while looking at it, "It's such an honor to be able to see the wilderness scenery so long ago. Most people are not so lucky!"
"So, are you ready?" The other party also nodded, "I can let you stay here forever and enjoy it for a lifetime."
"It's better to forget it then!"
Maka smiled hurriedly and waved her hand, then looked at the other person who was walking this way, and said after a slight pause:
"Ms. Kern, let me introduce you to my teacher, Professor Albus Dumbledore."
At the same time, Dumbledore also leaned forward slightly and saluted.
To be honest, when facing an "old-timer" on the wizarding path who existed two thousand years ago, one cannot be too respectful. It's a pity that not only as a wizard, but also as a person, the difference in philosophy between the two parties is too great.
"We met." Kern glanced at Dumbledore, "On my way back."
"Yes, Ms. Kern." Dumbledore nodded, "I remember that you looked like this at that time..."
The visitor is of course the witch Kern.
It's just that the reason why Dumbledore said this is because the other party's appearance at this time is no longer the typical ancient Greek beauty in the Hogwarts auditorium. Just as her arms were temporarily transformed into black claws in order to block the attack of Maka, who had the body of a demon, when she came here now, her entire body had transformed into the form of a demon.
Compared to Maka's "Greed", Kern's demonic body looks slender and thinner, and is closer to a human in outline. He is only about half a head taller than an average adult.
But the devil is still a devil, with a ferocious appearance unique to devils. Walking closer with the thick black fog clinging behind you, it looks sharp and sinister, making people feel fearful.
Especially when his attitude was indifferent and his words were obviously filled with a hint of hostility that he had never had before...
