From the beginning to the end today, Maka's intention was actually to ask Haierbo to leave London... However, this "leaving" would not include the other person's current body.
In this regard, Haierbo naturally knew what Maka meant, but it was uncertain whether he would cooperate.
Perhaps, after hearing Maka's description of modern Muggles, he would choose to understand the truth first; but if this guy doesn't believe it at all... To be honest, Maka is actually in a dilemma.
In Maka's expectation, the British Minister of Magic, Scrimgeour, and the Federation President Akinbad, these two people should be able to suppress the government and the royal family at the same time.
During that period, both sides took advantage of the opportunity of Haierbo being held back by him to eliminate the disaster in urban London.
In fact, when Maka discovered that Hermione and the others had shown that surprising fighting ability here, he thought it was an unexpected surprise.
But who knows, the International Federation of Wizards, which is the most critical part of the whole idea, has somehow never been able to reach this "battlefield".
At this moment, the intervention of the Muggle army finally made Maka understand that the next development of the situation is temporarily unpredictable.
"...You really don't plan to leave?"
Seeing that Haierbo neither spoke nor made any other moves, Maka couldn't help but shook her head secretly. But just when he raised the staff in his hand, preparing to unleash the final blow, he saw the other party suddenly and inexplicably showed a suspicious smile.
"No, no, it's almost time... I'll leave now. Of course, this body is not a one-time consumable like the previous times. I made it myself with a little effort, so I can't leave it to you like before. You're just kidding..."
When Maka heard this, she immediately realized that this guy seemed to have a way to escape other than moving in space, so she threw out the power of rules accumulated at the top of the staff without saying a word.
This beam of light is no longer blue and white, but has completely turned into pure white due to continuous condensation.
Wherever the light beam passed in an instant, all obstructions were easily frozen and shattered, leaving only a path of ice crystals on the ground extending straight into the distance.
But no matter how fast the light beam of the power of rules was, it could not keep Haierbo behind.
I don't know what kind of magic he used this time, but as soon as he finished speaking the last word, his whole body suddenly turned into black mist and shrank into a point, and then disappeared silently.
No, how exactly Haierbo left is not the current focus. What Maka is even more confused about now is actually the reason why Haierbo decided to leave.
Was that guy "persuaded" to leave by his own words
Well, at least after observing the other party's series of words and deeds before his sudden withdrawal, Maka no longer thought so.
"In the end, I still couldn't keep that new body."
The snow is still falling, and the continuous cold wind makes people feel chilly all over.
Maka looked around a few times, looking at the neighborhood that had been completely reduced to ruins due to his fight with Haierbo, and then paused for a few seconds before turning around and leaving.
"It can be regarded as saving them a lot of demolition costs..."
While complaining casually, he stepped lightly on the ground. After a while, he jumped up and stepped on a magic book and walked away.
…
"Her Majesty the Queen, there is a new report."
"Bring it here!"
In Buckingham Palace, a soldier suddenly knocked on the door and delivered the latest information directly to the Queen's hands.
Scrimgeour saw that after the queen read it from cover to cover, she handed the information to the old bishop. After he had roughly finished reading it, he sent the servant to Scrimgeour in a rather meaningful way.
The latter took it from the servant's hand, and even temporarily ignored the old bishop's inexplicable gaze, he hurriedly lowered his head and looked down.
To be honest, there is not much written here, but each one is quite crucial.
The first article mentioned above mentioned that a group of young wizards formed a special formation and used very strange spells to destroy many dark creatures. But they appear to have gone into hiding before the army intervened in London.
The events mentioned in the second item occurred much later than the first item.
It is said that about ten minutes ago, a man and a dog were moving around in the streets, killing many monsters with their bare hands in a way that the scouts could not understand.
For the above two items, Scrimgeour could not tell who they were just from the text descriptions, but they were obviously wizards.
But in the third and last item above, it’s quite obvious who the “protagonist” is.
The previous article said that two vague shadows kept looming in a deserted neighborhood, causing a mess in the nearby area.
Because that place looked so dangerous, even several military helicopters that tried to observe closely were directly chopped into pieces, so they could only watch secretly from a distance.
The latter one said that the two shadows stopped for some reason, and then after a bombardment from a suspected energy weapon, one disappeared and the other flew away.
Immediately afterwards, an unidentified individual appeared in the city of London and almost wiped out the monsters one by one at an extremely fast speed throughout the city.
Needless to say, Scrimgeour's biggest supporter at the moment is Maka McClane.
"He...he wiped out Haierbo?"
After reading the report sheet in his hand, Scrimgeour's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he finally breathed a small sigh of relief.
Because as long as Haierbo, the biggest uncertain factor, is eliminated, then it may be possible to successfully reverse the situation.
Yes, it is only "possible" at the moment, but it is also the best outcome under the current circumstances.
"Queen, please quickly ask the army to join the blockade! We hope to-"
"Mr. Scrimgeour."
Before he could finish speaking, the old bishop interrupted him again.
"You know, I actually hope that things will develop as you said, but it's a pity..." The old man shook his head slowly, "First of all, I really don't think Haierbo is dead... Even if the report is all true, I also don’t think that ‘despicable Herbo’ will die so easily.”
"Secondly, um... the person who is active around the city must be Mr. McClane of Hogwarts, right? I have also seen those amazing dark creatures. To be honest, I am quite impressed by Mr. McClane's strength. I admire... at that age you can... "
He just sighed for a moment, and then immediately turned around and said:
"Well, so I agree with the plan to let the army cooperate with the blockade of the city, but... Her Majesty, the 4th Division stationed in the London Garrison District will be dispatched this time, right? I suggest that half of the army be allocated to assist Scotland Yard in the blockade. London, the rest will continue to be used to contain those monsters... "
"That Mr. McClain is indeed very strong, but we can't just rely on him to deal with the monsters in the city. Even if he can really do it, it will be too time-consuming!"
Having said this, the old bishop finally looked towards Scrimgeour again.
"Mr. Minister, I believe you can understand - what we lack most now is time. In order to reduce the possibility of the incident spreading, we must be fast!"
After that, the old bishop told the Queen a series of deployment arrangements, and then the Queen personally conveyed them to the Minister of Defense on the other end of the dedicated phone line.
It has to be said that this old man is much more considerate than Scrimgeour, and his acting style is even and steady, which makes the latter dissatisfied.
However, it is precisely because of the comparison now that we can understand how terrible the previous scene of the three people in this room staring at each other speechlessly was.
For such an old man with abundant vision, ability and experience to be forced to choose to send troops to intervene, it can be seen that the situation at that time was almost in a desperate state to a certain extent.
"Don't worry! Mr. Minister..."
A moment later, when the Queen and the Minister of Defense finished the emergency phone call, the old bishop continued:
"Since Mr. McLean has used his personal power to bring us an opportunity, we will definitely do our best to cooperate with him to reverse this disaster... At least in our British magical community, whether wizards or Muggles, I hope this world can be maintained stably and develop."
As the old bishop said, regardless of the fact that the wizarding world and the Muggle world in some countries are completely isolated.
At least in the UK, there are always some disconnections among the apparent separations. That "crack in the barrier" has been there from the beginning.
If the top leaders of both sides can continue to understand and assist each other, and when the two worlds can truly eliminate conflicts and integrate with each other, then the UK will immediately become one of the few leaders in the world.
In this regard, despite the fact that the American wizarding community has always had a dominant position over the years, the merger of Muggles and wizards is almost impossible for them.
"Of course, I think our relationship will last forever!" Scrimgeour couldn't help but nodded.
However, if their conversation was overheard by Maka, I'm afraid there would be no other gains besides an awkward yet polite smile.
At this moment, Maka is still flying around the city while secretly cursing in her heart!
"What are those guys from the Wizards' Union doing? Logically speaking, even if both the Muggle world and the wizarding world block the news, Scrimgeour will always send them a message, right?"
In this way, there seems to be only one answer left, and that is - maybe something happened to them.
