This afternoon, it was a rare sunny day.
In fact, the air in the streets is not very fresh, mixed with the smell of fine dust. But under the light sprinkling of the sun, it is warm enough to make people feel lazy involuntarily.
Unfortunately, in such a good weather in early spring, Maka still has a lot to do.
"Wait!"
Listening to the hoarse call behind him, he was still pausing at his feet when he wanted to leave.
"Cough, McClane... Sir..."
Maka didn't look back. He just stood silent with his back to the mysterious windbreaker wizard.
When he looked up a little, maybe the sun was so dazzling. He was like an old cat who was not interested in everything around him, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
To be honest, out of some guesses that are almost certain, Maka doesn't want to communicate too much with the windbreaker wizard behind her.
As for lupin
At the moment, he stood between them. Although he was somewhat puzzled about Maka's performance, he still didn't say much because of trust.
After another moment of silence, the hoarse voice finally rang again.
"Mr. McLean... Where are you going?"
"Huh?"
Maka frowned slightly, but said lazily:
"It's just a walk - don't you think it's a good day to enjoy your leisure time today?"
"... cough, isn't it?"
The tone of the other party's speech seems to be a little decadent, but I don't know whether it is because of Maka's insipid attitude? Or is there another reason?
After a slight pause, the other party suddenly added:
"If you don't mind, I don't know... Cough... I don't know if I can go with you... 'take a walk'?"
To be honest, Maka didn't expect this.
Whether it was a guess in his heart or the indifference of the windbreaker wizard when he met earlier, he didn't think the other party would say anything to ask his colleagues.
However, after hearing this, the biggest reaction was not Maka, but lupin, who had made up his mind to keep silent just now.
Just listen to him immediately:
"No, I'm afraid not!"
I'm kidding. I'm going to do business with Maka. It's not a real walk. How can I let you follow me?
But I think so, but I can't say so.
"Just take a walk. I think we'd better go our own way!" Lu Pingshun Maka's rather boring excuse and organized his words. "What's more, we don't have any plans. We're really just walking - it's nothing interesting."
But just then, Maka, with her back to this side, suddenly turned around.
"You too?" he said with a little doubt, "are you... Sure?"
The meaning hidden in this sentence is really meaningful.
And if coupled with his deep eyes that suddenly looked at each other, even lupin, who didn't know what they were talking about, seemed to hear something out of it.
However, the windbreaker wizard did not hesitate this time. Almost as soon as Maka's question was out, he immediately replied decisively:
"Yes, I'm sure."
"Then come!"
Seeing his affirmation, Maka didn't hesitate any more and agreed immediately.
"Marca?"
Lupin looked puzzled at Maka, but saw that Maka just slightly closed his eyes and shook his head, indicating that he would stop asking.
As a result, Lupin even thought that Maka was going to continue the action another day. Unexpectedly, the idea came to his mind. Maka took out a magic medicine bottle covered with parchment.
As mentioned yesterday, if you want to make use of that strange substance that can affect the minds of ordinary people, you must have a "fresh out of body" soul.
If you don't want to sacrifice someone casually, the best way is undoubtedly to "create" a soul.
However, making the soul is not eating and drinking. Where is it so simple?
Just think of Sarah. Even her maker, Phillips von hornheim, an alchemist comparable to Nicole LeMay, has only refined a defective semi-finished product.
Although Maka has mastered some soul rules, it is still impossible to create a truly perfect soul.
However, although he can't produce a complete soul, after doing a lot of research on Sarah's soul defects and getting inspiration from the strange material "provided by Haier Bo's friendship", he still created a thing similar to the soul.
In fact, Maka doesn't like naming, but if she has to give it a name, she may call it "quasi soul".
"Boo."
Pull out the cork of the magic medicine bottle, and a gray white translucent ball shaped like a balloon suddenly bulged inside.
Then, Maka changed out another medicine bottle and slightly stained the ball with some gray black, living creature like smell.
Suddenly, the expanding "quasi soul" began to move... It seemed that it was gradually moving in a certain direction, and it also accelerated the floating speed a little bit.
Ignoring the windbreaker wizard who said he would "take a walk" together, Maka saw it and stepped up with her legs tightly.
"Lupin, get your broom ready - it'll get faster and faster later."
This sentence is not so much a reminder to lupin as an indirect message to someone later. After all, he had told lupin the main points of action long before he went out today.
However, Maka's reminder is actually somewhat unnecessary, because the windbreaker wizard seems to be very clear in his heart!
A moment later, Maka took out his usual magic book, threw it forward, raised her legs and jumped on it steadily. Just as he flew up, the "big balloon" seemed to have a tacit understanding and floated high into the air at the same time.
Speed, suddenly increased by several levels!
When lupin saw it, even if he had been prepared, he was surprised at that time.
When he stepped on the broom in his hand and pulled up the handle to speed up the lift off, he saw that the mysterious wizard who was still behind him had crossed his top in an instant.
It can be seen that the guy seemed to rise directly without the help of foreign objects and catch up with Maka in the air.
The speed of the soul can be extremely fast.
At this moment, under the guidance of a certain force, the gray quasi soul is pulled into the air like the gray shadow pursued by Maka some time ago, and the speed is still improving.
Just a few minutes later, as soon as lupin fell behind, he found that he was afraid he would not catch up.
It seems that if Harry's Firebolt had not been brought, it would be difficult for any other broomstick to reach such a terrible speed.
"If you can't keep up, don't force it. Your task is to remember the general orientation and be responsible for dispersing those nearby Muggles that may exist after I land."
Even when flying at high speed at high altitude, Maka's words still got into Lupin's ears.
Of course, he has to do more than that. For example, if anything happens, he has to warn some curious wizards around to keep them away from Maka's area immediately.
Last time Haier Bo personally came out to block it, we can see that the place used to collect souls mostly has all kinds of unknown dangers.
With the distance from Maka getting larger and larger, the two figures in Lupin's vision have become black spots. If it wasn't in the air, he would have lost it.
At the moment when lupin found that he couldn't even see clearly, he saw that the two black spots in the distance suddenly began to fall down and quickly fell to the ground.
……
At the other end, Maka, squatting on the magic book and rushing to the ground, watched the "pseudo soul" he made suddenly disappear into a flat land.
That is, he did not continue to increase his speed, but suddenly reduced his falling speed, and then hovered at a height less than a foot from the ground.
Soon, the windbreaker wizard also fell behind him with a cough.
"Cough... Huh?"
Maka noticed that the other party immediately looked around after landing, and then gently expressed her confusion with a slightly hesitant nasal voice.
He was not sure what confused the other party, but he knew that if the other party didn't take the initiative to explain, he'd better not ask more.
She jumped down from the magic book. After taking back the book, Maka began to look around.
There is no doubt that this is an ordinary block Park - and it is also a free welfare facility that provides children on the street to play and the elderly to relax.
However, I'm afraid there is a special magic item placed by helbo under this ordinary ground.
Needless to say anything more, it can be seen that after Maka confirmed that there was no one around, he took out the staff.
The next second, with a wave of magic spreading, all the things around that reacted to the magic reflected into his perception one by one.
No protective magic left?
That's right. In this way, you can completely hide what you want to hide. As long as you hide it deep enough, even he can't easily detect it.
Staring at the position where the ghost disappeared into the ground just now, Maka stretched out the staff and suddenly waved it down.
"Click -"
In a series of dull cracking sounds, the land immediately began to split on both sides and gradually extended deeper.
Not long ago, he and the windbreaker wizard behind him took a step forward
Got something!
