Chapter 336

"Christine, speaking of... How did you and Charles think of opening a shop in such a place? It's... Not safe here?"

There were still a lot of customers in the store. Maka and Tonks were waiting until Charles delivered the goods. They had time to chat with Christine for a while.

"Oh! Tonks, I'll tell you... In fact, the boss behind the store is sitting next to you!" Christine waved her hand with a fresh smile on her face, just like when she was at Hogwarts.

"Eh? Maka is the boss?"

Tonks didn't know how many times she was surprised. Since she came out of the door just now, she felt that she had been surprised by the ensuing accidents.

"Yes! Tonks, you should also know... You see, Charles and I are not very rich. How can we afford to open a magic drugstore?" Christine said. "Although the store is not very big, you know, there is an inch of land and an inch of money in the black market! What's more, it costs a lot of money to purchase..."

Christine sat at the back of the cashier and talked incessantly, while Charles, who solicited customers in front, would steal caring eyes from her from time to time and occasionally show a trace of gratitude to Marca.

In fact, they didn't spend much time with Marca. Even if they are hutch patch and even have been in the Quidditch team, they don't have much time to get in touch with Maka.

If you look back, you can find that Marka doesn't spend most of his time on study and research, does he?

However, at the original bonfire party to see off the graduates, when they accidentally talked with Maka about opening a shop, they didn't expect Maka to really take it to heart.

This store is not just giving them a future direction with a lot of money.

If you have to say, their poor couple can get married so soon. The financial support brought to them by this store is indispensable.

In the hearts of the future couple who came out of hutchpatch college, Maka actually realized the warm declaration of "we are all Hogwarts" at the bonfire party.

The happy story of Christine and Charles may also be one of the many fetters born in every activity to see off graduates.

Even though Maka has not continued to host the event now, his name, as the founder of the event, has been engraved on the banner of each farewell party.

"Many things, perhaps the purpose behind them is not pure, and even the process is dirty, but as long as the final result is good, what does it matter?"

During the conversation, Maka looked at the light warmth in the shop with a smile and thought with emotion.

"... so the black market is actually worse than outside?"

After the three had a little chat, Maka got some valuable information from Christine.

Indeed, if you want to know the news related to magic medicine, it is undoubtedly a more appropriate way to directly ask the operator of magic medicine store.

"Yes, as far as I know, a dozen wizards in the black market have suddenly gone crazy..." Christine nodded. "However, I think you know that crazy wizards are actually no big deal, because they can't use magic spells!"

"... therefore, although there were a few minor disturbances, they were soon solved."

Maka nodded clearly and then asked, "I've found out the reason why those wizards are crazy before - it's mostly because they took some magic medicine. Do you have any clues?"

"Well... At least the suppliers in our store have no problem... Ah!" Christine said, suddenly pausing, as if she remembered something.

"What's the matter? Did you think of anything suspicious?" Tonks asked.

"... I remember... About three or four days ago! A trance guy passed in front of the store and knocked over the Kanban I erected outside..." Christine recalled. "I thought it was drunk or something... You know, it's common."

She paused and said again, "but now I think it seems like those crazy wizards when they are not crazy."

"What's wrong with that guy?"

"I think he's still whispering something while he's walking forward... Um..." Christine thought carefully, and then nodded her head. "Yes, he said, 'goddess, my goddess, no one can touch'... Well, it's probably similar..."

"'goddess'?'No one can touch '?" Maka repeated these words, puzzled and lost in thought.

"... ah, actually I'm not sure. Maybe it's just a drunk guy?" Christine thought about it, and finally shrugged in wonder.

"That's all I know... I don't know if I can help you..."

"No, although I don't understand for a moment, it's a good harvest to know these." Maka returned to her mind and waved her hand with a smile.

After that, the three continued to talk for a while, and Maka left with Tonks.

"Maka, I didn't expect you to be busy all the time. You actually did such a good thing!"

On the side of the road, Tonks said casually as he followed Maka forward.

"At least it's my classmate. If you can help me... Anyway, it's all mutually beneficial. I'm just short of manpower. I'm not at ease when looking for someone else!" Maka said with a smile.

"Hey!" Tonks glanced at him and smiled, "but seriously, we can get clues so soon. It seems that we're lucky..."

"Yes, I didn't think of it either." Marcello nodded slightly. "In fact, I didn't intend to ask Christine anything - after all, they haven't been on the black market for a long time."

"What are you doing?" said Tonks in surprise.

"Take your big sister to meet your younger brother and sister?" Maka said meaningfully, "how about being sunburned by the little couple?"

"Well, I've sworn - I won't get married until I become a real Auror!" Tonks raised his chin and looked proud.

"In short, we still need to find the most professional way to inquire about intelligence," makaton said. "The next place to go is our real destination tonight."

Then Tonks followed Maka around again, and finally came to a sparsely populated old square.

In the middle of this small square, there is a fountain pool that has long dried up, and in that pool, there stands a half collapsed wizard statue.

As for the stone seats around this small square, most of them can no longer sit.

However, the most interesting thing about this old square is the strange trees everywhere. Those dry and dark branches were waving and creaking without wind, almost covering the whole square.

What makes people feel more uncomfortable is that those trees are sending out bursts of hair raising whispers. In any case, they are a place they should not come.

"This is really ominous..." Tonks hesitated. "Do you say... We're going inside?"

"Yes, the entrance is in the fountain pool." Maka waved. "Come with me. Don't care about the Siberian ghost howling wood. It's just used to scare people."

"In your mouth, the ghost howling wood is just 'frightening people'?" Tonks pressed his shoulder, wrinkled his face and emphasized, "how do I remember that the book says that the ghost howling wood will absorb the soul of creatures?"

"Because the way to deal with ghost howling wood is too simple, it can only be 'frightening people'." Maka shrugged and motioned her to follow her.

However, when they got closer to the strange trees waving branches, the original whisper suddenly became high and very harsh.

"Remember? The book says that 'Siberian ghost howling wood especially likes cold'." Maka took out her wand and waved it forward, "but the author didn't continue to explain what happens when they encounter cold..."

With a wave of his wand, a simple freezing spell fell on the ghost howling tree in front. Almost for a moment, the ghost howling tree howled happily, but the originally dancing branches fell quietly.

"In fact, I can't blame the author, because the naturally growing ghost howling wood is concentrated in the north of Siberia, the area closest to the Arctic Ocean... The environment is very cold. How can the author know what it will look like when the ghost howling wood is transplanted to a warm place?"

"So... The reason why it screamed so hard just now was that it was afraid of heat?" Tonks said with a grin.

"You ask him to go!" Maka rolled her eyes. "I'm not a ghost howling wood. How do I know what they mean?"

Under the freezing spell, the ghost howling trees they passed dropped those branches. As long as they don't touch the ghost howling wood, they are a completely harmless plant.

Of course, it looks terrible at best.

After a while, they came to the fountain pool in the middle of the square.

In fact, standing here, you can see that there is dirt everywhere under the dry pool. It looks very dirty. The broken part of the wizard statue fell into the pool, and the broken stones and debris almost scattered all over the pool.

Maka pointed her wand at the head of the statue at the bottom of the pool and waved it gently.

The next moment, the eyes of the stone statue head suddenly flashed gray light.

"The member code is' Silver Eagle 991 '." he said softly.
