Chapter 1440 21 Years Old

It has to be said that the mercury statue is indeed a rare alchemy treasure.

But right now, the strength of the protective magic that was preset in advance is obviously too low. Not to mention what would happen if Haierbo attacked, even in the eyes of Maca, who was already slightly inferior in terms of destructive power, it was easy to break through.

If only relying on this defensive measure, the security cannot be guaranteed.

And obviously, not only Maca, but even Lupine had already expected this point. That's why Lupine informed Maca about this early in the morning, reminding him to come over as soon as possible to repair and improve the protection in the town.

"You big liar!"

Seeing the awkward Luna, Maca and Ron glanced at each other, and saw that the latter immediately turned around and pretended to look at the scenery, so they shook their heads dumbfounded.

"Luna?"

He grabbed the girl's shoulders with both hands and pulled her over, and said in a good voice:

"Okay, stop making trouble... When Haierbo's matter is over, you can play however you want, even if you live in this statue, I don't care about you, okay? But right now, I still have a lot of important things to do If you want to do it, you should go back and have a good rest!"

Having said that, Maca reached out to his waist again, took out a tin jar and stuffed it into Luna's hand.

"Here, make a pot of Goldigan tea when you get back, your favourite."

"Oh!"

When Luna heard this, she immediately took the jar and opened it to have a look, and soon she showed a surprised smile.

"I forgot my can at school, and it's been days since I've had it! Well, I'm going to cook it now... then maca, see you tomorrow!"

Straightforward temperament is good, and you can turn your head and forget everything on your mind. Seeing Luna happily running back, Maca couldn't help but also smiled.

After a short pause, he gestured slightly to Ron who was still standing aside in a daze.

"What are you doing in a daze, go back too! I'm going to start working!"

"Huh?" Ron couldn't help but come back to his senses when he heard the words, "Oh, okay... then... good night!"

Watching the two leave the square one after the other, and disappeared into the intertwined and complicated streets after a while, Maca stood still for a while, and then suddenly turned around and looked at the other side of the square.

"Mr. Taon... No, it should be 'Mr. Gunter'," he greeted loudly in the shadow of the alley over there, "come out! It seems that you have something to say? "

After Maca's call, the figure who was originally hiding in it realized that there was no need to continue hiding, and finally walked slowly from the inside under the light of the street lamp.

Maca watched him cross the square and walk to the center of the square step by step. At the same time, his eyes remained on the face of the mercury statue, and he couldn't help but slightly raised his eyebrows.

"Sir," he repeated the sentence just now, "It seems that you have something to say?"

Seeing that the other party didn't speak immediately, he couldn't help thinking for a while, and then continued:

"...Or, is there any story worth hearing?"

"Why do you say that?" The other party didn't respond quietly until this moment, "Because I have been staring at this statue, it looks like 'a lot of stories'?"

"Isn't it?" Maca shrugged,

"At least, I don't see any expression of appreciating works of art in your eyes, but the feeling of 'memory'... but there are many, many."

"Hmph, you're so clever... If I could choose, I don't think I would choose you to be my son's teacher."

Honestly, it's hard to imagine a conversation like this happening in the middle of a Squib conversation with a "genius" wizard.

However, both of them seem to think that this is nothing unusual.

"Indeed," Maca said calmly when she heard the follow-up, "I have to admit, I will definitely not be a qualified teacher! But, how should I put it... Actually, now, I like this job more and more. Already working."

"yes?"

Gunter shook his head immediately, as if talking to himself:

"I once heard a very good teacher say, 'As a teacher, you don't have to have outstanding knowledge and talent, but you must have the awareness to let students practice themselves and make mistakes'...Actually She said a lot, most of which I don't take seriously, but this is the only sentence I agree with."

Upon hearing this, Maca couldn't help nodding slightly, nodded in agreement and said:

"It's a great realization. As far as this is concerned... I really can't do it."

Just as he was speaking, he suddenly followed the gaze of the other party and looked up at the mercury statue, as if in a daze:

"Is this what she said?"

After a moment of silence, Gunter did not answer Maca's question directly, but changed the subject:

"She's my wife, the mother of that boy Erns—Miranda Gaunt."

"Oh?"

To be honest, the other party's words were a bit beyond Maca's expectation. Although he guessed that the other party had some relationship with the prototype of the statue, no matter how much he thought about it, he never thought that the two would have such a direct relationship.

"Wait, count according to the year when Spiral Town started to be built...Mr. Gunter, please forgive me, but aren't you different from your wife—"

"Twenty-one," said Gaunt nonchalantly, "she's twenty-one years older than me...but what? If her actual age—"

While talking, he suddenly turned his head and glanced at Maca.

"Oh, do you think that this statue is enlarged in proportion to Mira's figure?" Gaunt shook his head lightly and said, "No, this is her real appearance... well, except for that face."

"Well?"

Upon hearing this, Maca couldn't help but look at the statue again.

In fact, whether the statue is big or small, it did make Maca feel a little subtle-if it is a statue placed in the center of the square, it is actually a bit small. If Hagrid came over, it would probably They are all about half a head taller than it.

But this is the true height of a human female... Even if the base under its feet is taken away, none of the people who gathered in the square just now can look at her at the same level.

"Giant hybrid?"

"Yes," Gunter nodded, paused for a moment, and then continued, "By the way...there is indeed a story, if you are willing to listen, then I will tell you...I only have one request, no matter How, protect this town!"

Obviously, there is no need to explain what he said. Since this statue is his wife, it is not difficult to understand why the husband, who is the founder of this town, wants to keep this Spiral Town.

"Then please tell me!" Maca said, "I think, I would like to hear it."
