Chapter 1003 The Basilisk Reappears
Maca spent the whole night in the basement of Black's old house.
For the strange substance that was born from the soul, he conducted repeated analysis and research overnight. Although he quickly understood that Hai Erbo was collecting souls, but other than that, he still couldn't draw any more conclusions.
He always felt that he seemed to have missed something very crucial.
However, time waits for no one. While he was still thinking hard, Haierbo would definitely not be idle, and he was probably making more preparations somewhere outside.
After all, if he wants to achieve his goal, that guy obviously needs to spend a lot of energy!
"In short, the next thing to do is nothing more than one thing——"
Closing the notebook in his hand with a snap, Maca thought to himself:
"Since the unexpected opportunity last time was interrupted by Hai Erbo, then this time, the opportunity will be created by myself!"
"Tut Tuk."
I have just determined what I should do, and I am thinking of continuing the research from this direction. Unexpectedly, the door of the potion preparation room was suddenly knocked from the outside.
After a short pause, Maca waved his hand in the direction of the door and said:
"Please come in!"
Before he finished speaking, the door of the room opened in response to his movements, and then a figure walked in from outside the door.
"Mr. McLean."
Maca heard that,
Immediately, he smiled and nodded towards the person coming.
"What's wrong, Lena?"
"It's like this," Lena, who was standing still at the door, leaned slightly and calmly said, "Just now, the French Chateau Blois has sent someone over, and he is talking to Mr. Lupine in the reception room—he asked me to Come and tell you."
Upon hearing that the people from Fort Blois came, Maca suddenly said:
"It's already morning? I didn't even notice... Oh, I see, you go back first! I'll clean up this place first, and I'll be here soon."
After Lena turned and left first, Maca repacked the substance temporarily stored in the rune array into the special potion bottle, and got up and walked out of his potion preparation room.
And when he climbed upstairs to take a look, a group of children had already gathered in the hall.
Here are not only the imprisoned children who were rescued by Maca, but also Helen Schoen, whom Isla called her sister. With the power of the Obscure blocked, she is just an ordinary girl now.
Of course, in addition to these people, there is also Voldemort's daughter, Delphi Fisher, who was taken over by Maca; and she just lost her mother, and heard some things from the "false prophet" little cathy.
If possible, Maca would actually like to send Leni and Lena sisters there as well. After all, even though they were pure-blooded werewolves with good fighting power, that little ability was absolutely useless in front of Hai Erbo.
It's a pity that the pair of werewolf sisters resolutely rejected Maca's proposal, and both decided to stay in Black's old house and not go anywhere.
For them who have been displaced since childhood and have no sense of belonging, this old house has already become a real "home" in their hearts.
"All ready?"
Maca didn't go into the reception room right away, but walked gently to the children.
It can be said that each of these children has a past that they can't bear to look back on, including little Delphi, a little girl who bid farewell to her parents shortly after she was born.
For the current right and wrong place in the British magic world, it is indeed better to stay far away.
"...Mr. McLean."
Little Cathy took two steps forward and looked up at Maca, as if she still felt uneasy. Seeing this, Maca couldn't help thinking for a while, and then looked to the side.
At this moment, little Delphi was being held in the arms of Helen, who was the oldest here, probably because it was still morning, and she was sleeping soundly and drowsily leaning on Helen's chest.
After glancing at little Delphi's sweet sleeping face, Maca immediately lowered her head, and whispered to little Cathy:
"Although the oldest person here is Miss Schon, I think you should be the most mature and sensible one. So, I have to entrust you with a very important matter—"
"Important thing?"
Little Cathy didn't expect Maca to say "entrust" at this time, and her expression was quite puzzled, so she felt a little puzzled.
But Maca quickly nodded slightly, and continued:
"Yes, it's very important! With your intelligence, you can definitely understand that an enemy like Hai Erbo cannot be dealt with overnight. Moreover, there are still many doubts. If there is a slight mistake, even France will soon be in danger... ..."
"As I said before, even in France, you all can learn magic. Especially the Castle of Blois, I think for my sake, Mr. Blois will not be stingy-so, you are completely We can lead everyone to progress together.”
Having said that, he suddenly paused, and then added as if:
"In addition, Delphi Fisher, who is going to France with you this time, is the youngest, and is your younger sister. If anything happens, remember to help me take care of her!"
Hearing what Maca said, a trace of hesitation suddenly appeared on Little Cathy's face. She looked carefully at Maca's face, and then looked back at Delphi in Helen's arms, but the subtlety in her expression became more intense.
"Mr. McLean," she said, "you've said so much, but it's all just for the last sentence, right? Well, this little sister Delphi...is her surname really 'Fisher'?"
"Okay," Maca rolled her eyes, patted her on the shoulder and said, "Sure enough, children who are too smart are not too cute... Also, her surname is Fisher, so don't think too much about it."
Little Cathy couldn't help pursing her lips while listening, staring at Maca and said:
"Guilty! Cover up! No wonder mom always said that men are like this!"
"Click—"
Maca, who was watching Little Cathy scolding him helplessly, suddenly heard the sound of the door opening behind her. Although it would be fun to tease her for a while following her words, Maca still chuckled and turned to look at the door of the reception room.
"I also said why Mr. McLean hasn't come yet. It turned out that he was chatting happily with all the young masters and ladies outside! Good morning, Mr. McLean!"
The person who came to pick him up this time was none other than the old steward of the Blois family. Needless to say, this is Maca's old acquaintance, and in fact, it has not been long since the last time the two met.
"Oh, good morning, Mr. Housekeeper."
Maca said hello and walked towards the reception room. Little Cathy looked at Maca's back, she was still blaming the other party just now, but now she became quiet all of a sudden.
This unusually mature little girl, of course, has already reacted - Maca probably just used the entrusted words to cheer herself up.
Maca knew very well that once she had a certain sense of responsibility in her heart, no matter how uneasy she was, she would cheer herself up because of the pressure on her shoulders. Maca herself is like this, and little Cathy now has a somewhat similar feeling.
"Yeah!" She thought to herself, "We don't have the ability to stay here now, so before we gain the corresponding strength, we'd better leave this place first... Maybe everyone here thinks the same way Bar?"
Quietly looking around, these are all people who have received great favor from Mr. McLean, that is to say, each of them is the same as himself.
...
"Mr. McLean, this is the gift that Miss asked me to bring you."
In the reception room, Maca, who had just entered and sat down, immediately saw the old butler take out an exquisite box, and carefully placed it on the long table in front of him.
Maca didn't even need to be opened to look at it. As soon as the old housekeeper took it out, he felt a strong wave of magic power from it.
After thinking about it for a while, he showed a hint of surprise after a while.
"That Rafaela Dragon's Kiss started to produce saliva?"
Back then, he was invited by Willy to "plant flowers" in Castle Blois, and what he planted was a precious magical plant called "Rafaela Dragon's Kiss".
This kind of plant must be watered with dragon's blood from the moment it is planted, otherwise it will never bloom.
And after the grower spent at least tens of thousands of Galleons, it would bloom a flower shaped like a dragon's head, and even breathe out the dragon's breath like a real fire dragon.
It's just that if you want to get benefits from this precious magical plant, you still have to wait for a long time. Until the flower is fully mature, it will secrete blood-red ambergris from the dragon's mouth and fall to the ground into crystals.
It is recorded in the book "Hundreds of Endangered Rare Plants" that this kind of crystal is called "Amberx Crystal", which contains a huge vitality derived from dragon blood.
Moreover, due to the harmonization and filtration of the plant itself, the nature of the energy becomes extremely mild, and it is a natural therapeutic agent that can be taken directly orally.
Of course, it would be too wasteful to swallow it so directly!
"This is a good thing!" Even Maca, who has seen many treasures, couldn't help admiring at this moment, "I'll prepare it and see Haierbo later, I'm sure he will be surprised!"
After a while, the old butler chatted with Maca again, and then prepared to take the children back to France.
But before leaving, he finally told Maca a piece of not-so-good news. Although the matter has nothing to do with Hogwarts, or even with the British wizarding world, it is still a major event that has to be paid attention to.
"Just a few days ago we received the latest information - the African Waggadu School of Magic was attacked by a basilisk frantically, and there were countless casualties. At present, the owner has sent people to investigate on the spot, but people have not I haven't sent any news yet, so it's probably..."
"...it's hard to be optimistic."
Maca added the last sentence before muttering: "The basilisk...?"
