"Mr. McLean, I really have a very important thing to tell you. I don't know... Could you please come in and talk?"
"Huh?"
Although Marca was not wary of Mr. Norman Witt because of Charlotte. However, the other party is always a member of the Witt family. Under the clamp and interference of the obviously ill intentioned old owner, Maka feels it is necessary to keep a certain vigilance.
Of course, he was not worried about himself, but Hermione, Luna and others who were standing behind him and looking at the carriage with curiosity.
"Mr. Witt, I think you may choose to say it directly?"
"Oh, this --"
Norman couldn't help thinking about it with hesitation. Perhaps because he noticed Maka's determination, which was quite different from his tone, he finally nodded helplessly.
The next moment, he looked back and said to the old manager:
"Drive around the neighborhood first! After a while, you'll pick me up here again."
With that said, Norman jumped out of the carriage and walked quickly in front of Marca.
"Mr. McLean, this is really not a place to talk - the scene of me talking to you like this must not be seen by halbo's wizards."
Maka listened to him and nodded slightly:
"I can understand. I've met people in your family before. I think... Your Witt family should have encountered an accident... Come here!"
As he spoke, he beckoned the other party to go into the alley by the side of the road. When I passed the outer wall of a family in the alley, I saw him gently tap the wall with his staff. The brick wall immediately trembled and began to deform, revealing a door opening for people to enter.
After all six people, including Norman, walked in, the door opening that had just been changed by deformation soon closed automatically.
At present, Maka is standing in a corner of the family's living room, subconsciously looking up at the ceiling. Obviously, he is sensing whether there is anyone upstairs.
As for the small living room, it was clear that it was empty before he chose the family.
"It seems that there should be no one upstairs," said Marcello after a pause. "Well, maybe the Muggle family thought that the fog came too strange, so they left London early?"
According to what Maka heard from Sirius, there are not many Muggle families who have left London this time. Otherwise, there would not be traffic jams on several roads outside.
After saying something casually, Maka went directly to the sofa and sat down - it was obviously a little hard, but it was better than standing and talking.
"Mr. Witt, sit down, too! I'm sure this Muggle won't care if someone comes to sit on their sofa and armchair... Of course, it may make them a little unhappy about coming uninvited!"
However, Norman didn't seem to feel much about Maka's soothing jokes.
In fact, he has already been in a mess in his heart. It is only because of his calm character and good self-restraint since childhood that he has not shown much impatience.
When Hermione and others sat down casually in the fog, Marca saw that Charlotte's father didn't mean to find a chair for himself, so she stood directly in the middle of the living room and said:
"Mr. McLean, you just said you met our family? Well, maybe they have brought you some unhappiness, but... To be honest, they can't help themselves this time."
"Of course, it doesn't have much to do with what I want to tell you... No, it's the message my father wants me to convey to you."
"Really?"
Marca didn't know what Norman wanted to say, but she could see that there seemed to be a rather complex emotion in each other's heart.
It seems to be a vague fear, but it may be mixed with some hesitation.
"Yes," Norman paused before continuing, "I think you are all puzzled by the fog that permeates the whole of London. Well, in fact, I was just as puzzled as you at the beginning - even if the wizards who claimed to be Haier Bo's' apprentices' came to the family and explained that the fog was created by Haier Bo himself, we also don't know where it came from and what its function is ……”
"Didn't those guys say that?" Marca raised her eyebrows.
"I didn't say... Maybe even they didn't know," Norman shook his head and then said, "but after that, my father, who hadn't talked to me for a long time, suddenly called me. It was from his mouth that I learned what this strange and irresistible fog meant!"
Hearing this, Maka suddenly had a bad feeling. He thought he might have guessed what Norman would say next.
It's just, is that possible? No, he feels like he must be thinking too much.
But at the next moment, Marca heard Norman say:
"... McLean, I think you should remember the most important inheritance of our family - the magic book abatair "When Haier Bo first came to our Witt family, he wanted a complete set of ancient scrolls. It was only because the scroll owned by our family was incomplete, especially the most critical volume of summoning, that Haier Bo left only after he got the clue."
Obviously, Norman is not accurate here. It was probably just because his father tried to hide that he had tried to get some benefits from Haier Bo, so he didn't tell him all the twists and turns.
However, when Marca heard Norman's next words, he felt that the so-called "truth" passed by might not be so important.
Just listen to each other and then say in a deep voice:
"But before, my father told me that halber might have collected all the abatair! Because from his father's understanding of abatair, he thought that these fog could be the precursor of demon summoning!"
A moment of silence, even Maka took a deep breath for his last sentence, which slowly depressed the tremor in her heart.
After staring at Norman for a moment without a word, he shook his head slowly.
"It's impossible."
……
Maka and his men left the Muggle house one step ahead of Norman.
As the other party said, although the old Victor is not willing to follow Haier Bo, he does not dare to disobey the latter's orders. Therefore, Norman was secretly entrusted by his father to communicate with Marca, which must not be discovered by Haier Bo's men.
That is, before Maka left, Norman also informed him of the intention of his hometown to cooperate. According to the meaning expressed by Norman, the old master of nawitt seemed unwilling.
After all, the ancient magic works of abataier were originally inherited by the Witt family. It was only because of the betrayal of people in the family that the ancient books flowed out.
Not long ago, old Witt thought that the inheritance of the family could finally be completed again. But I didn't know that suddenly an ancient wizard Haier Bo stepped in and forcibly robbed the remaining part of his home.
Now, seeing that Haier Bo is very likely to have collected the complete book of abataier, it would be good for old Witt to return to the West on the spot without being angry.
However, although Marca has speculated so many things about what Norman said, he still can't believe that the fog is the precursor of "demon summoning".
You know, the person who had mastered the last part of the summoning script of abatai'er, but destroyed his soul in front of him.
What the other party does is not to let Haier Bo forcibly read his own memory and obtain any information the other party wants.
Is it difficult that old Eun's self sacrifice was meaningless at that time? Because long before his soul died, halber had got the last few pages?
Indeed, if so, it seems that halbo's whereabouts after that can be explained - he is obviously making a lot of complicated preparations to complete the calling ceremony.
"Marca, that was Charlotte's father just now?"
Hermione followed him closely. At first, she didn't want to disturb him because of his thoughtful expression, but after a while, she couldn't help whispering:
"And... What is the 'devil summoning'... He said?"
"Yes!" Ron couldn't help saying when he saw Hermione speak. "Is there really a creature like 'devil' in this world? Isn't that a magical creature only in the legend fabricated by Muggles?"
"Huh?"
When they asked, Maka shook her head.
"Maybe there are! As far as I know, ancient Summoning can be divided into two categories: spirit summoning and devil summoning... But I don't know what kind of existence the so-called devil is."
Perhaps, it is not as you imagine, and even the concept may be quite different. Unfortunately, perhaps only the ancient Wizard of helboa knows.
"Anyway," said Marca with a wry smile and a frown, "what we can be sure of now is that it must not be a good thing!"
To be honest, Maka suddenly feels a little powerless now. Because he found that if what Norman said was true, he really didn't know what to do now.
He really didn't know anything about "demon summoning".
As Marca frowned and paced forward with Hermione and Luna, unconsciously, the entrance of St. Mungo was close in front of her.
