Halber's life is really long enough. It won't be a pity for him to squander.

But for a real wizard, every minute is precious. He has wasted thousands of years underground. This alone is enough to stop him from watching time pass meaninglessly.

Therefore, the words he said to ASA just now are not just for fun, but really want to use each other.

Yes, even what he can get from ASA is to find miria faster.

"I hate waiting."

In the warehouse where Milian and others came in, halbo was sitting on a wooden box with his eyes slightly closed. His expression looked quite unhappy.

At the side of a pillar not far from him, ASA just stood there in silence, lowered his head and buried his face in the shadow.

Just now he had told halber that this was the place where he and Miriam urgently met. Whoever comes out of the Witt's house first and doesn't meet the other party must come here to wait for the meeting.

But

Millian and Mallory should have gone to the Witt family earlier than him, but why haven't they come back yet? ASA thought they would see each other as soon as they got here.

He even thought about "what he should do when halebo meets Miriam".

Did... What happened to Miriam on her way back? Is it the big explosion outside that hasn't stopped yet?

"I hate waiting!"

Halbo spoke again. Although he said the same sentence, the dissatisfaction contained in his tone was much stronger than just now.

"Maybe... Those explosions..."

ASA tried to make a reasonable explanation for Miriam, but the effect was basically the same as not saying.

"It seems that I have to find it myself."

"No, wait!"

To tell you the truth, ASA doesn't know what to do. Now his heart is very contradictory. His idea is wavering between "Milian should come" and "Milian should not come", but another voice is telling him that either one is probably the same.

To put it bluntly, his "betrayal" is actually meaningless.

Just as he watched halbo open his eyes and suddenly stand up from the wooden box, the door of the warehouse was opened from the outside with a "squeak".

"You --"

"Millie, don't come here!"

ASA seldom uses his nickname to call Miriam, and this is obviously that he always reminds himself of the need to pay attention to the sense of distance. For people like them, talking about feelings is superfluous.

Yes, he always thought so... Or, this is the choice he forced himself to make.

When Grandpa Raven was asking for everyone's opinions and asking if he was willing to accept blood transformation, Milian was the first to stand out.

And he Asaph, relying on his own will, is afraid that he can't have such consciousness in his life.

Yes, although the current situation is very different from that of the past. But when he found himself on halber's side, when he looked up at Miriam at the door... The sense of personal frustration was almost the same as at that time!

"Millie, get out of here -"

While shouting this sentence, ASA suddenly felt that he should be able to do something.

Yes, why on earth did he have to beg helbo to help himself? Is it just to betray grandpa Raven?

No, he also wants to find a stronger reason, even if it is more or less hypocritical!

"Go!"

ASA hugged helbo with a bear. I saw his muscles all over his body, suddenly burst his robe, and his body began to surge and expand wildly.

The blood of the giant gave him great strength. I believe that as long as he hugged him so unexpectedly, no matter how strong the wizard may be.

"Run away... Find... Yes, find Marca McLean! Forget the task! Find that McLean. Only he can -"

Miriam stood at the door and didn't know what to do for ASA for a moment. All she knows is that she can't leave each other and escape here, but... What nonsense is ASA talking about?

And in the next second, ASA suddenly felt his body stiff - he couldn't move!

"Transformation of giant blood? That's interesting... It seems that the Wizards of this era may not be all rubbish..."

Although his bones and joints were creaking, halbo, who was tightly hugged by ASA, raised his mouth and smiled like nothing.

"Unfortunately, this study is obviously not perfect. If the deformation time can be shortened several times, the effect will be very different..."

Just as he was saying this, he saw that halbo was just lifting his hand. ASA, who was much stronger than just now, could not help but let go of each other, and then fell back numbly.

"As for what you said, 'go find McLean'..." halbo's eyes swept through the door and pointed at millian. "I don't think we need to find it, do you?"

Miriam thought the other party was talking to herself, and her expression was even stagnant. But soon, when a hand touched her shoulder, she immediately realized something.

"You should say - he made the right choice."

A familiar voice sounded behind Miriam. She turned her head in a hurry and saw a young face.

"Oh, excuse me."

Miriam then staggered a few steps aside, revealing Marca's figure.

"Young man, what are you looking for my trace again and again for?" Haier Bo patted his clothes as if no one else was around and smoothed some wrinkles on his head slowly. "Is there any other meaning besides meeting me?"

But Maka obviously disagreed with Haier Bo's statement.

"Meaning?"

He took two more steps, blocked the door, shrugged and said:

"If you think you have to find a 'meaning' to do anything... I don't think you can adapt to this era."

"Since you can't adapt, change it." halbo glanced at Maka and said, "why do I have to take the initiative to adapt to the world? Instead of letting the world adapt to me?"

At this point, it seemed that he didn't want to talk about these things anymore. He waved and stopped the topic.

But when he followed closely, he saw that he raised his feet at random and poked ASA's face.

"Sorry, young man! I don't have much time to chat with you now... When I finish what I should do, we can have a good discussion sometime."

When halbo said this, he suddenly crossed Maka's shoulder and looked straight at Miriam behind him.

"Tell me, where is your boss now?"

However, with such a casual question, how could Milian tell him?

Seeing millian first glanced at ASA on the ground, and then glared at himself fiercely, halbo immediately met the two lines of sight.

But at the next moment, Maka's face suddenly moved sideways, accurately separating the two sides from each other.

"Haier Bo, don't do such boring things in front of me! Do you really think I don't exist?" Marca said with a smile. "Or... The position of the 'boss' is actually very important to you?"

Before halber could speak, he reached out and made a 'please' move.

"Let me see. You'd better hurry! Didn't you also say that you are not my opponent now..."

This degree of provocation is common to Haier Bo. Seeing that he really couldn't get anything good, he immediately spread his hand.

This show can't be repeated. Even if he can use ASA to threaten Milian, this coercion will never work as long as Maka is still on the scene.

Just as he just controlled ASA, Maka only had to raise her hand if she wanted to stun Miriam.

"Hum," said halber, with a faint smile, looking at his eyes, "I'll leave this little girl with you first... Remember to keep an eye on it."

With that, he suddenly waved his hand to his side, and a piece of ground not far away suddenly collapsed. At first, the passage where Milian and others came in was destroyed by him.

After doing this, halber went to the door.

Maka didn't stop her. Instead, she took Milian's hand and dragged her aside, allowing Haier Bo to leave the dark warehouse.

"Go and see your companion! After a while, his reason will be completely suppressed by instinct."

Old Eun's research on blood transformation has obvious weaknesses, at least in the direction of giant blood. At the moment, Miriam had not recovered from the chaos just now, but Marca remembered it first.

Millian heard the speech and had no time to sort out the previous situation. Subconsciously, she came out from behind him and hurried to ASA who fell to the ground.

"Now... When all the residents in the black market are cleaned up, the matter will come to an end for the time being?"

Maka turned back and looked at the fire and smoke outside the door. She couldn't help shaking her head.

Of course, this affair is far from over. The events of the Witt family and the Augustine family will continue to ferment with time and turmoil.

At that time, even other ancient wizard families will come forward... It's still unknown!

For Maka, he understood old Eun's mind, which was actually the "come to an end" he was whispering to himself.

"... ASA."

After hearing a faint whisper behind her, Maka's eyes glanced back, and she began to think about abatair and demon summoning again.

Outside the warehouse, explosions continued, and no one slept in the underground black market tonight.
