Chapter 1663 "Bandits and Hostages"

Tonight, when Maca arrived at the manor of the British royal family with Kingsley and Delphi again, Barbre, who could be said to be waiting in the foyer in recent days, rarely showed up.

To be honest, although so far, Barbre may feel that Maca doesn't really care about his own existence at all. After all, Maca has made it clear from the very beginning that his success is just a "chance".

But in fact, Maca pays more attention to him than he imagined, and it's only because of a series of reasons that he doesn't get too close to him.

Otherwise, Maca wouldn't have said to him alone through soul magic after the magic power sleeping in his body was awakened, "As long as you can master this power well, you have the right to think for yourself." It was like words of reminder and warning.

And just now, when passing by the hall, Maca immediately discovered Barbre's absence.

"...Mr. McLean?" Seeing that Maca didn't speak after sitting down, the Queen couldn't help asking, "Are five people selected for the experiment as usual today?"

Hearing the other party's question, Maca now put aside the fact that he didn't see Barbre, and shook his head slightly.

"No need, I didn't bring any reagents here this time," he said, "In fact, I'm here tonight to talk to Her Majesty the Queen about something. Hmm... I think you, the Queen, should have heard the news, right? Case of fog shifting from Kent to London."

"Oh, yes," the Queen nodded slightly when she heard the words, and then probed very keenly, "Could it be that...is this matter related to you, Mr. McLean?"

Facing the Queen's question, Maca did not deny it, but nodded again briskly.

"Combined with some other circumstances, I think this abnormal change is probably an invitation from Hai Erbo to me personally. And it is about this matter... Your Majesty, I know that you have sent an army to station there Yes. So, I must first remind you—”

After emphasizing a sentence in this way, Maca continued:

"Don't get too close, and don't easily mobilize the garrison team to do some very dangerous things! Because there are a group of enemies in the fog that are not good for you."

"Then...are they...following the movement of the mist? Just like when they attacked Canterbury?"

"Do not,

Because Hai Erbo himself is probably hiding in the mist this time, so the degree of danger is definitely much higher than you think—”

One of the reasons why Maca came here this time was to let the royal family settle down when he went to London to meet Hai Erbo. So, he was about to follow this topic down.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, someone outside suddenly knocked on the door of this hall, which made Maca and the queen temporarily stop the conversation.

After the queen nodded to Maca, she raised her voice a little towards the door and said:

"Open the door."

She didn't ask someone to come in immediately, but she didn't directly ask who it was - she had already let the guards out beforehand, and as a queen, it was obviously a mistake to ask questions at the top of her voice from a long distance away. Decent behavior.

"Mother, Mr. McLean..."

Soon, the guard outside opened the hall door, and the two saw the prince and Barbre, whom Maca had not seen today, appear at the hall door.

Perhaps it was because the queen hadn't said to let them in, so the two of them just stood outside the door and bowed one after another.

Then, the prince took the initiative to apologize and said:

"Sorry, just now I was asking Barbre about how it feels to use magic, and we chatted for a long time without paying attention. After that, he and I hurried to the basement again, but when we got there, there were only guards... …If I hadn’t heard the news that Mr. McLean would not come today, so I asked the guards by the way, maybe there would have been a longer delay... Oh, Mr. McLean, I’m really sorry!”

The prince's remarks started with an apology, and then ended with an apology, with a smile on his face from beginning to end, which can be said to be quite decent. If it were someone else, it would probably be enough to make most people have a good impression of him even if it is not to the extent of "like a spring breeze".

However, Maca listened to him, but his eyes only stayed on Barbre behind him from the beginning to the end.

It can be seen that the latter has a subtle feeling in both his expression and his gestures.

If I had to find an example to describe it... it might be like an innocent hostage who was secretly coerced by gangsters, forced to pretend to be calm in front of others, but inwardly eager to be seen by others.

Maca, who had paid attention to the prince before, just watched from a distance for a while, and soon understood roughly what happened.

As for the queen... Maca felt that she, who was equally intelligent, must have also noticed the abnormality.

However, the Queen and Maca did not show any abnormalities for the time being.

Then the queen said to her son:

"Then come in quickly!"

Before the words finished, the prince walked into the hall with Barbre, who was one step behind him. Afterwards, the prince actually sat next to the queen as usual, and Barbre, of course, stood behind the two of them's sofa first.

As soon as he was seated, the prince suddenly spoke again.

"Mother, Mr. McLean—how about today's experiment?" He glanced at several corners of the hall as he spoke, as if looking for the subject who should exist, "It hasn't started yet. ...or is it over?"

"The latest reagent has not been completed, so there is no experiment tonight," Maca shook his head calmly, "but the daily test on Barbre will still be carried out as usual. It's just that before that, I would like to discuss with Her Majesty the Queen. Say a few words and say it after the test."

"Oh, that's right!" The prince nodded immediately after hearing this, "Then please continue, don't worry about my existence, I just came to watch as usual."

"OK."

Maca responded normally, and then talked to the queen about some actions that the Muggle royal family may need or not need in the future. After he finished what he was supposed to say, he waved directly to Barbre who was standing behind the opposite sofa.

"Let's go! It's still the same as a few days ago, go to the hillside clearing behind the manor."

As soon as he finished speaking, Maca disappeared from the sofa first, and Kingsley quickly left with Delphi's entourage, and went to the backyard.
