Chapter 1715 Restarting Classes

"Hermione, pass me the armadillo bile, and then you can start dry-grinding scarabs directly—remember to use an agate mortar, take your time, don't rush."

In a small room in the wizard's tower, Maca gently stirred the warm liquid in the cauldron. And at another table not far from him, Hermione, who was helping him, was handing over a vial containing animal bile.

After staying for a while, when Hermione brought the ground scarab dry powder to Maca's hand, he suddenly raised his head and glanced at the pocket watch he put on the corner of the table.

It can be seen that the hour hand on the dial has pointed to the "1" position.

"Okay, there's nothing to deal with next, so go to bed quickly! Just leave the rest of the steps to me. In the next period of time, there will definitely be a lot of things to do, and you have to rest well. "

After all, he continued to stir the liquid medicine in the crucible at a constant speed with one hand, and slowly added the powder Hermione brought over with the other hand little by little.

Just beside him, Hermione didn't leave immediately.

"Maka, can I... can I talk to you?"

"Huh?" Maca quickly answered her, "Yes, yes... But, what do you want to talk about?"

"It's about the next plan," Hermione said hesitantly while watching him patiently stirring the liquid medicine, "just like you said just now, 'There are a lot of things to do next'-specifically What plan?"

Thinking that Maca had taken huge risks to survive the loss of strength today, Hermione knew that he would definitely start thinking about launching a counterattack against Haierbo again. After all, blindly defending and avoiding is definitely not the solution to the problem, not to mention that they have reached a point of no return.

However, Haierbo's growing strength is also based on his increasingly powerful magical power. If Maca, who had regrouped this time, faced the opponent head-on, he didn't know how sure he would be.

In this regard, in fact, not only Hermione, but everyone also wants to have a bottom line.

"A plan?" Seeing Hermione asking about her plan, Maca couldn't help but pause a bit, "I have to say that I haven't thought it through yet, do you believe it?"

"Believe it!" Hermione said decisively, "As long as you tell me, I will believe it. But...if this is the case, if Hai Erbo has any unexpected actions, won't we be very passive?"

have to say,

Hermione was still right - she was right on point. However, in the current situation, it is almost impossible for Maca to think about a set of interlocking countermeasures in advance as before.

Right now, Maca's side has been forced into a "corner" by Haierbo's series of fierce pursuits.

Under the premise that it is difficult to track Haierbo's movements, not to mention that he has completely lost the ability to monitor, and even has a much lower grasp of the status of various external forces.

With the current situation where the amount of information obtained is extremely lacking, if you still want to make a plan or something, it will definitely be a ridiculous thing.

It's a pity that at the moment when "one more step back is death", even if you bite the bullet, you have to face the difficulties.

"Well, to be honest, I've always been grateful for all of you trusting me so much." Maca said, "As for 'passive' or 'active'... if I have to say it, this question is actually not that important. Difficult to resolve."

Speaking of which, seeing that Hermione seemed to want to ask more questions, Maca immediately shook her head. Then, he stopped what he was doing first, pulled the stirring rod out of the liquid medicine, and put it on the tray beside him.

Immediately afterwards, he turned his head and said to Hermione:

"How to solve it specifically involves another problem-it may be a difficult choice for me, but I have to make a decision on my own. Therefore, after I get the answer, I will discuss it with you. Tell me!"

After Maca said that, he obviously didn't want to continue discussing this point.

Knowing this, Hermione was still very curious... No, after hearing Maca's words, she actually wanted to know even more. But considering Maca's mood and wishes, she nodded slightly, expressing that she would not ask any more questions.

So, Hermione thought about it again, and then turned to say:

"Then, in addition to the direct plan against Hai Erbo, you also need to consider some indirect countermeasures, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't say that you have something to do next."

And just when Hermione asked this question again, Maca raised the temperature of the flame under the crucible by a stage, and as the medicinal liquid inside gradually began to boil, he finally took the lid to cover it.

"Yes!" Maca said after closing the lid tightly, "Of course, I also know why you want to ask this—you want to know what I plan to ask you to do, right?"

When Maca explained what was in her mind, Hermione couldn't help pursing her lips, as if she was a little embarrassed. Because she also knows that this is more or less an "old problem" of hers, that is, she can't tolerate the state where she can only sit there and wait silently.

"Ok."

In the end, Hermione nodded her head again and responded softly.

And soon, Maca smiled at her, and then said seriously:

"Although Hogwarts has not been able to resume normal teaching for the time being, my 'private lessons' will be restarted here! I have some ideas and I need you... especially you, Luna, Delphi, Harry and Neville five, plus Enns and Alexander... well, maybe Mr. Blois - I need you guys to learn a little more before you can actually do something for me! "

"Oh! Really?" Hermione finally couldn't help but whispered in surprise when she heard this.

"Of course it is true," Maca said affirmatively, "I have now clearly realized one point—my personal ability is always limited in the disasters that Haierbo can cause. Now, we don't have that buffer, but now we seem to have no choice..."

While he was talking, he suddenly heard a slight "cracking" sound from the crucible in front of him. He immediately stopped speaking, and stretched out his hand to lift the lid of the crucible.

Afterwards, he stretched out his finger and shook it slightly, and the boiling medicinal liquid immediately dissipated its heat and completely calmed down.

Until now, Maca nodded and said:

"Okay, it's time to go to Alexander and give him medicine... The sooner he recovers, the sooner I can have another excellent student, won't I?"
