Chapter 1041 Are You, Shouldn't You Leave?
? Just as supporting justice requires the cooperation of many means, spreading evil must not be limited to one-on-one instigation.
After releasing the Legilimency to the Ms. Higgs in front of her, Maca let her legs go limp and sat on the chair behind the potion preparation table, shaking her head slightly.
"...She didn't lie, she did buy this parchment from the black market, and she had no contact with Hai Erbo himself."
Hearing this, Sirius on the side immediately frowned and said:
"Do you want to check the black market?"
If he continues to explore along this clue, and supplemented by the magic spell of tracing the source, he may be able to find the trace of Hai Erbo who has been hiding lately.
But when Maca heard what Sirius said, he just shook his head again.
"No need," he said, "as long as we can clearly know that Haierbo has not given up on the British magic world, it will be a good harvest for us. But if we want to follow this path to find Haierbo's whereabouts, then we may have underestimated that cunning guy a little too much."
Just as he was speaking, Maca glanced at Ms. Higgs behind the preparation table, and then continued:
"This Ms. Higgs is obviously different from the previous owner of the Hanged Man Tavern. If it is said that the relationship between Ms. Higgs and Hai Erbo is an 'indirect' relationship, then the There may be a more 'direct' connection between the tavern owner Ted and Helbo."
"And if I'm thinking right, Haierbo is probably planning to use this subtle method this time...to infect and corrupt the British magic world little by little."
Being hindered by Maca again and again, it is not difficult for Haierbo to choose this more roundabout method. What's more, it is obviously a more difficult method of invasion to unknowingly "poison" the entire UK than to stab a knife directly.
Just like Ms. Higgs in front of the four of them at the moment, during the whole process of luring her to fall, Hai Erbo didn't even need to pay attention to it herself, she would actively fall into the bottomless trap under the temptation of power. abyss.
"Speaking of..." Lu Ping looked at the parchment solemnly, and couldn't help asking, "Maka, if she finally completes the magic ritual on it, what will happen?"
Obtaining power by means of cruel killing is undoubtedly a kind of extremely evil black magic. And often in such black magic rituals, the black wizard will obtain corresponding terrifying growth after a huge effort.
"It will allow them to obtain higher spiritual power from the victim's soul," Maca said, "that is to say, if the ceremony is successful, Ms. Higgs will be able to release a more powerful spell than ever before—especially It's the black magic."
At this point, he paused for a while, but curled his lips and added:
"Of course, that will have to wait until she really succeeds, and the specific chance of success..."
Maca didn't need to continue talking, but just flicked the parchment in his hand a few times with the corner of his mouth, the meaning behind his words was almost self-evident.
And if it fails, then the black wizard's efforts will not only no longer be rewarded, but will further lose more things-such as their own souls and lives.
Obviously, no matter whether they succeed or fail, the "demon" behind them will be the ultimate beneficiary.
Finally, Maca waved his hand and said:
"So, we don't need to spend too much time on this Ms. Higgs, let Scrimgeour send someone to take over! Compared to her, the tavern owner should pay more attention...After the last test I felt that with that person's mind and strength,
Hai Erbo should give it more attention. "
With Ms. Higgs' slightly dull expression, Maca and the others were talking, but at this moment, the door leading to the living room behind the former was suddenly opened from the other side.
"Mr. McLean."
It was still the figure in the windbreaker and the wide-brimmed hat, and the voice was so hoarse that people couldn't tell the gender. Appearing from behind that door was obviously the wizard in the windbreaker who followed from Hogwarts Castle.
"Aside from the elves working here, and a half-blood elf servant, there is no one else in this potion workshop. Besides, I didn't find anything more special—except this."
As for why she didn't appear here with Maca and the others just now, it turned out that before Maca chose to "visit" through the back door openly, she had already sneaked into the workshop and started a secret search.
"Huh? Parchment again?"
Maca reached out and gently took the paper she handed over, looked down at it casually, and then nodded in understanding.
It can be seen that this is actually a letter, and it is still an unfinished letter. As for the content on the letter paper, Maca had already noticed when he was performing Legilimency on Higgs just now.
"Since the letter has not been sent, it means that the other party does not know what Ms. Higgs wants to convey," he said. People should also be the kind of wizards who are interested in black magic...give this to Scrimgeour! I believe he will know what to do."
After handing over the letter paper to Sirius, Maca immediately said:
"That's the end of this matter. The control magic I gave her should last for about half an hour, enough for you to send her to the Ministry of Magic and lock her up. As for the Hanged Man Tavern, monitor Remember not to break your hands."
Having said that, he waved at the windbreaker wizard, turned around and walked out the door.
...
In fact, just a few minutes after Maca left Hogwarts, a group of slightly embarrassed wizards Apparated outside the school gate, and were almost spotted by the Muggles on the hillside outside. .
"...Professor McGonagall, is McLean in school now?"
After receiving this group of people into the school gate, they didn't even wait to go to the castle, and asked about Maca's trace directly on the lawn of the vestibule.
On the other side, Mag looked at the other party with surprise, and couldn't help but be a little worried:
"Mr. Akinbad, your arms and eyes..."
"It's okay, it's just a broken left hand and a blind eye, it's not bad to be alive!"
Yes, the one visiting Hogwarts right now is the president of the International Federation of Wizards who has not heard from him for a long time—the old African wizard Babajid Akinbad.
Of course, there are other wizards from the federation who came with him.
At this moment, not only was Aginbad's sleeve empty, and his left eye was covered with a rock-like white cloud, but most of the other companions were also slightly or seriously injured.
According to the last news Maca got about them, they gathered people to go to the Waggadu Magic School in Africa to investigate the incident about the basilisk appearing in Waggadu.
"What happened?" Professor McGonagall frowned, "Is this all done by the basilisk?"
Hearing this, Akinbad smiled wryly and shook his head.
"It can be said to be like this!" He sighed, "Of course, I did get into this miserable state because of fighting the basilisk - if the old principal hadn't rescued me in time, I'm afraid this time I can't come back. But the others just..."
As he spoke, he quickly waved his hands and said:
"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. Professor McGonagall, if McLean is here, remember to inform him for me - just say that the basilisk has left Africa. As for whether it will come to your British magic world, no one can say now No."
"Listen, that basilisk is extraordinary. It is much stronger than what is recorded in ancient documents, and it does not have the weakness of being afraid of crowing roosters! If it is found to have appeared in England..."
Speaking of this, Akinbad couldn't help but smiled apologetically again and said:
"To be honest, I really hope that it can come to the British wizarding world - at least there is Maca McLean here, even if it shows up here, I'm afraid it won't make Hogwarts the second Waggadu!"
Hearing what Akinbad said, Mag couldn't help saying solemnly:
"Sir, your alma mater...what's the situation now?"
Akinbad shook his head lightly immediately, and a sadness appeared in the only remaining eye.
"The student casualty rate exceeds 40%—Vagadou is no longer the largest of all magic schools."
However, the urgency of the situation and the status of the president of the federation did not allow him to stay longer. After announcing the general situation and the possibility of danger one by one, he waved his backhand, and actually began to assign the wizards of the Federation who came with him on the spot.
It seems that he chose to come to Hogwarts directly from Waggadu in Africa to provide the first warning, and he has not even returned to the headquarters of the Federation.
And now, they are going to split up and go to the Ministry of Magic of various countries to issue warnings.
Professor McGonagall watched from the side, thinking for a while, and soon understood the reason why Akimbard came to Hogwarts first. I'm afraid, he was thinking that if Maca knew about it first, it might be possible to rush to help the basilisk when it appeared?
Although, it is still an unknown question whether Maca will take the time to leave the British wizarding world.
A moment later, after Professor McGonagall sent Aginbad and the others to the woods outside the school gate, with space distortions again and again, the wizards of the Federation used the Portkey to go to the magic circles of various countries one by one. went.
And when Akinbad also disappeared into the forest in a twist, Mag turned back to stare at a certain direction by the lake, and sighed sincerely:
"Albus, although I have always admired your wisdom, but this time... shouldn't you choose to leave at that time?"
