Chapter 410 "Dark Wizard" Maca
( ) Following the sudden appearance of the food on the small round table, all the children—including Joshua swallowed subconsciously. It's been a while since they've had a proper meal, especially the little ones locked in the dungeons.
But none of them moved, and no matter how hungry they were alone, they didn't intend to do it themselves.
"You fill your stomachs first, I have to deal with some things here..."
Maca waved to them, then took Abigail aside and sat on some empty barrel. Then he flicked his wand lightly, breaking the spell on Abigail.
"This is the second time we have met," Maca said, looking at her calmly. "To be honest, I never thought it would be so easy to see you again."
"You—" Abigail suddenly came back to her senses, and the moment she saw Maca, her body tensed up instantly, "Is that the Imperius Curse just now? You...you Who is it?"
"Ok?"
Maca saw that she put on a flustered look as soon as she woke up, and couldn't help wondering if she had caught the wrong person.
"You don't know who I am?" He stared into Abigail's eyes and said quietly.
"How would I know!" Abigail said nervously.
"Tell me directly! Where did you take Sirius?" Maca frowned, "As long as you tell the truth, I won't make things difficult for you."
But Abigail was vigilant, she moved her hand slightly, and suddenly looked behind Maca and her eyes widened, as if something incredible happened behind him.
Just looking at her inexplicable behavior, I am afraid that most people will at least be taken aback for a moment.
And in the next second, the point of space where she was located suddenly distorted, which was a sign of apparition activation!
Maca, however, was completely unaffected by Abigail's cleverness. I saw the staff in his hand swaying slightly, as if to respond, but Abigail's apparition showed no sign of being hindered.
The space distorted, expanded, and contracted in one go, at an extremely fast speed, and disappeared in front of Maca with Abigail in the blink of an eye.
But just as the twisted and deformed her shrunk to a point, a point also appeared on Maca's left hand side, and expanded and expanded rapidly.
The coordinates of Abigail's apparition are actually beside Maca?
"Go back and sit down!" Maca said lightly,
"I said, as long as you tell the truth, I won't make things difficult for you, understand?"
"This...how is it possible?" Abigail looked around and was stunned, "How did you do it?"
"It's just a confusion spell." Maka waved her hand, motioning for her to go back and sit down.
"It's just a confusion spell?" Abigail said blankly. "That's a very complicated spell. No wizard has ever used it to prevent apparition! The length of the spell alone is simply incomparable!"
"Yes, I didn't think about it before I met you." Maca nodded calmly, and then continued, "Don't you want to sit? Then stand up and talk! Answer my question."
Abigail was right, this time it was only because of her superfluous move that Maca had already prepared. Otherwise, even Maca would not choose to use the confusion spell to interfere with the apparition's location, but would use some more "rough" means to stop it.
Because the spell of "Phantom Displacement" is one of the spells that Maca cannot use skills to hinder, because it involves the rules of space.
"Don't you want to say it?" Maca turned her head, looked at her stiff profile and asked, "Is this a secret worth protecting with your own safety?"
Abigail was silent, but her heart was struggling.
She had already felt the strength of the wizard in front of her, so strong that she didn't even dare to move.
At the beginning, she graduated from Ilvermorny with quite good grades, and the professors all liked her as a clever and talented little witch.
And she has always been very serious, every assignment and every exam will not be perfunctory, and she has never failed the expectations of the professors and classmates.
She believes that her efforts are worthy of the magical talent bestowed on her by God.
Because of this, she understood how unfathomable the wizard in front of her was. It is precisely because she has also worked hard on the road of magic that she knows how incredible the scene just now was.
Therefore, when she thought that the terrifyingly strong guy in front of her was most likely a dark wizard, she couldn't help but want to run away. So, once she realized that she couldn't even escape, she wanted to compromise.
But the first thing she thought of was her sister Olivia.
She absolutely didn't want that unreliable sister to face such a terrifying dark wizard alone. Therefore, she cannot speak, not a single word!
That "Sirius" might still be a good person, but what he was facing right now was a powerful dark wizard who could cast the Unforgivable Curse without moving his face!
Abigail pursed her lips, trembling slightly, without saying a word.
Then, Maca stood up leaning on his staff.
"Maybe you have some difficulties, but..." Maca looked at Abigail's face, and the expression on that face was a bit stubborn, "I don't have much time, but I have to ask you for help. Get information. Since you don't want to talk, then I can only 'see' myself."
The staff in Maca's hand suddenly stopped on the ground, and his eyes became extremely deep in an instant.
At that moment, Abigail was in a trance, and when she came back to her senses again, she saw Maca's stunned face.
"what did you do to me?"
Just now, Abigail felt a feeling of being spied on by the other party. She immediately took two steps back in panic, and suddenly felt a burst of heart palpitations.
"Uh..." Maca blinked, and said with a little embarrassment, "Well, I want to say... sorry!"
"What?" Abigail asked in surprise.
"I mean, I'm sorry—" Maca leaned slightly towards her, "Yes, I'm sorry! I surprised you just now...I didn't expect that you and your sister helped Sirius."
"What do you mean?"
Suddenly being apologized by a "dark wizard", Abigail was suddenly confused. Probably because the change from front to back was too abrupt, she couldn't react for a while.
In the last second, I was still guessing whether I would lose my life here!
"I used Legilimency to read your memory just now...ah! About this, I have to apologize to you, but let's wait for a while! I mean, because we were too nervous when we first met. It was rushed, so there was a little misunderstanding."
"In fact, I am a friend of Sirius. I received a letter from him earlier and came to rescue him. But the person who wanted to attack him was actually someone else."
"No, wait—" Hearing Maca say this, Abigail didn't feel much relieved, but was a little more suspicious, "Do you think I will believe what you say?"
But Maca shrugged and said: "I only said that after I knew where Sirius was. Why don't you believe it? Well...he is staying with your sister Olivia at the moment. In the garden shed on the Hudson, eh?"
"But—" Abigail felt that she was still a little confused. She pondered for a while, then nodded hesitantly, "Well, yes... are you really that guy's friend?"
"Of course, I don't have to lie to you." Maca spread her hands and said.
"But... you used the Imperius Curse on me in front of the post office! It's one of the three unforgivable curses!" Abigail frowned tightly, "All spells are closely related to the wizard's spirit , That level of black magic can greatly affect people's emotions and minds! How can you tell me to believe you?"
When Maka heard this, she couldn't help but looked at her in surprise and nodded.
"To be honest, I rarely hear such a clear and clear description from other wizards about the theory of the essence of magic... Are you a graduate of Ilvermorny? Your school's courses teach so deeply?"
"No, it's not—"
Abigail felt a little out of step with Maca—this guy actually cared about this?
"...This is what I slowly deduced by comparing the information and the actual casting situation."
Maca nodded clearly and said: "You have a good understanding of magic—indeed, as you said, modern spells are all related to the spirit of the caster, and the strength of magic will also vary with the caster's spirit." psychic bias. Dark arts are black arts because they are indeed 'evil' under normal circumstances."
"Yeah! So—"
"Listen to me first!" Maca interrupted Abigail and continued, "However, there is no distinction between good and evil in magic itself, they only have a 'rule' bias. The reason why black magic shows "Evil" is simply because it is easier to understand them with a spirit that is biased toward "evil."
Seeing that Abigail was a little confused, Maca turned around and said: "For example, let's say the 'Imperial Curse' I used before, the point of which is 'control' - use your own spirit to go Control the spirit of the opponent. The reason why it is 'evil' is because of its strong malice and desire to control, it is easier to suppress the spirit of the opponent."
"But at its root, it's still 'a stronger will than the opponent', or 'spirit'." Maca paused, then continued, "So the 'Imperius Curse' is something that can be resisted, I understand. ?"
Listening to Maca's detailed narration, Abigail, who already liked magic theory, couldn't help being fascinated by it.
"Then..." Abigail said in a daze, "'Killing Curse'...how about it?"
"The essence of the Killing Curse is quite special, and it is not so easy to analyze." Maca shook his head and said, "If you are interested, you can try to learn about other black magic, but it is best not to touch the Killing Curse lightly."
"Well, the topic is a bit far away, let's go back to the matter of Sirius first!"
Having been a professor for a short time, has he also started to suffer from occupational diseases? Maca couldn't help laughing at himself secretly.
