Chapter 1146

"Is it likely to be retaliation '...?"

At the top of the astronomical tower, while listening to pansy's own views, Maka looked back and forth the letter paper and envelope she handed over.

Due to the need of confidentiality, the content of the letter is still very simple - it just means to meet again and discuss the matter of saving people again.

The key to this letter seems to be what Martin thinks?

"Well, I can't rule out the possibility of what you said," Marca nodded after checking the letter. "Of course, it can't be ruled out that Martin is really concerned about Muriel's safety, so that he has some urgent medical treatment and wants to gamble."

As he spoke, he put the letter paper in front of pansy, shook it, and motioned:

"Look at the content, it seems that he is still very rational and has not left any key information. In fact, his handwriting is much more scrawly than last time... It shows that he was in a very restless mood when he wrote this thing."

However, Marca also knew that Martin's unstable mood might be due to anger, so no one could say what the actual situation was.

Then, with a little silence, Maka thought a little. During this period, pansy could only keep quiet, pursed his mouth and didn't say a word.

For a time, only the owl MafA stood on the railing at the observatory. From time to time, they fluttered twice against the strong west wind and made a "fluttering" sound with their swaying robes.

After a while, Maka shook her head and said:

"It's really not safe to let you go, but because of the magic ceremony, it's hard for me to deceive Martin even if I want to go instead of you. Well, I'll leave it to you to see him, but I'll follow in the dark this time. Just keep the appointment at ease."

Her decision undoubtedly relieved pansy.

Just as Marca said - in fact, pansy knew that if she really wanted to meet Martin, she must have gone in person. But as long as she knows that Maka always follows her nearby, she seems to have nothing to be afraid of.

"OK! I'll go!"

Looking at pansy's serious face, it seemed that she was going to the execution ground at the next moment. Maka could only wave her hand and say:

"Don't be so nervous, relax! All you have to do today is' pretend you don't know anything '- you don't know that Martin probably has doubts about you, nor that I already know these things; you can even know nothing about the martial law of the Ministry of magic because you're afraid of saving people!"

"All you need to know is that after you rescued Emily, you ran all the way back to Hogwarts. Then yesterday, after the little master of the flints came to Hogwarts for help, you were frightened all day because of my doubt about you."

"Your doubt about me?" pansy was stunned, but soon said, "ah! I understand... Mosel came to Hogwarts to find me because of eluli's words, so if I was really just Martin's spy..."

If she was indeed a spy on Martin's side, Marca had no reason not to doubt her. After all, it's no secret that Emily is the suspect who escaped from the Ministry of magic.

"You understand!" Marca nodded. "So if Martin is still skeptical, this is our last chance to recover the failure. After seeing him, you can tell him what I doubt about you first - this may help you regain some of his trust in you."

At the end, Maka suddenly chuckled and said helplessly:

"According to my original idea, these things should have been taught to you by Professor Snape. For this reason, I specially asked him. Unexpectedly, I made them myself."

After saying this, Maka waved her hand again and said:

"Anyway, that's it! If this time it's just a trap, I probably won't be able to use what I said just now. Go back to class quickly. If you're absent again, you'll repeat the grade like Malfoy -"

On the way, Maka suddenly raised her eyebrow.

"Oh! I almost forgot. Maybe you want to go back to the same grade as him! Right?"

"Who said that!"

Pansy could not help muttering:

"If you really repeat the grade, Draco's character will look down on me even more!"

As soon as Draco Malfoy was involved, she couldn't control her emotions, and even her fear of Marca was suddenly alleviated.

But as soon as she finished, she felt a little regretful, said goodbye quickly, and then left in a hurry.

……

The place Martin agreed in his letter was "the smelly house".

Obviously, it still refers to Muriel's old house which has been turned into a shop downstairs - but the word "bad smell" is too beautifying for the stinky indoor environment.

As for the specific meeting time, it's nothing special. He set it in Diagon lane, the traffic volume is second only to the sunset Eve in the afternoon.

The sunset time in Britain was somewhat early. That afternoon, pansy left Hogwarts School court in the sunset immediately after class and went to the broken cauldron bar with some lingering tension.

Yes, McLean said he would always follow him, even if he might not see the reassuring figure from beginning to end.

Different from the last time I came to this broken cauldron bar late at night, it's still in the evening, when there is another peak of passenger flow in and out. When pansy came to the backyard of the bar, she didn't even need to take out her wand and knock on the magic wall.

Not far behind her, Maka followed her lightly, and entered the familiar wizard street behind the courtyard wall with her.

"Still a little scared?"

Maka looked at the back of Pansy in front of her while accurately avoiding pedestrians. It can be seen that pansy's walking posture became more and more stiff as he got closer and closer to the overturned lane.

"If you really use this feeling to see Martin, people won't be able to doubt... It won't work if it goes on like this. Do you want to remind her?"

Just thinking of this, he saw pansy suddenly stop and stop where he was. He didn't know what he was thinking. Seeing this, Maka was about to get up and whisper, but then he found that pansy took a deep breath and stepped forward again.

This time, pansy's steps were much lighter than before.

"Oh?"

There was a flash of surprise on Marca's face, but it soon turned into a happy smile again.

"Yes, she can adjust herself... It seems that her last 'failure' has made her heart stronger. This is a harvest."

To be honest, although Maka gave her a chance, she didn't expect her to make such a big change. Obviously, no matter how powerful it is, it can't really see through a person's essence.

This once arrogant and unreasonable Miss Parkinson obviously is not as "completely bad" as the students see.

When passing old buddy's bookstore, Maka only had time to glance in. Soon he plunged into the overturned lane with pansy, who quickened his pace.

"Here it is?"

Even if there are more people in Diagon lane outside, it will be less lively here. When Maka followed pansy through several familiar shops, she saw pansy walking in front and suddenly stopped at the door of a narrow store.

From this facade alone, it can be seen that Muriel didn't pay much attention to changing the downstairs into a shop, because it still looks like a family house for living.

"Bang bang -"

Pansy paused, then reached out and knocked on the slightly thin door, making a louder sound than expected.

However, she waited at the door for a long time, but no one came to open the door for her.

As soon as Marca, who was waiting against the wall across the street, nodded slightly - Martin was either lying in ambush inside or peeping in a place where he could see the door outside.

Because the other party will certainly worry that pansy didn't come alone.

At this thought, Maka simply closed her eyes slightly and felt the surrounding area carefully.

"Hmm? Am I wrong?" he didn't seem to find any suspicious objects. "But the room on the second floor of the house is a little interesting. So there are so many protective spells... So is this the most commonly used hiding place for him?"

In Marca's judgment, Martin doesn't seem to be nearby.

However, although pansy has the same speculation as Maka, she doesn't have the ability to perceive the magic around her like Maka. After waiting for a long time and there was no response in the room, she finally couldn't help being nervous again.

After a moment's hesitation, pansy subconsciously stretched out her hand and pulled the door. Unexpectedly, the wooden door was opened by her!

"What?"

Maka looked behind. Although he could almost clearly feel pansy's uncertainty, he still didn't open his mouth and give any hint.

Here, everything depends on pansy's own. At least until the other party's life is in danger, he will not show any signs that can prove his existence.

In fact, before leaving in the evening, Maka reminded her that she was likely to suffer a lot today.

Looking at pansy, she hesitated at the door for a long time. After a battle between heaven and man, she finally opened the door completely and walked to the house with heavy steps.

As soon as he entered the door, the thick stench that was stopped by the spell immediately came to his face, which made pansy retch at the door.

Immediately, she covered her mouth and nose and thought:

"The smell... Is heavier than when I came last time!"
