Chapter 1388

"Marca... Who did you put Harry to?"

Looking at Marca who came back from the camp, Ron seemed a little curious and couldn't help asking. In this regard, Maka just shrugged and said casually:

"What do you think?"

"Uh --"

Ron thought for a moment and guessed at random with a little uncertainty:

"Can't it be the guy Lockhart?"

"Oh, Congratulations, you're right!"

As he spoke, he sat down on the dry tree where Harry had sat before, and then grabbed a handful of stone that Harry had broken from the crucible at his feet.

Then he stretched his neck again and looked inside in front of Ron.

"I suggest you grind it more finely, or Hermione will be angry again soon!"

"Oh, Marca," said Ron in distress, "it's too tired to grind by hand alone! And you see - this mortar is a stone, and the crushed stone is also a stone. After grinding for a long time, it has become bare!"

"Won't you find some softer stones to grind?"

Maka shook her head, randomly threw the handful of gravel in her hand into the crucible, clapped her hands and said:

"Forget this... Ron, I have something for you to do. It's very important and needs to be kept secret - you can't mention it to anyone except me. Would you like to help me?"

"Secret mission? Let me do it?"

As soon as Ron heard this, his right hand, which was stirring vigorously with a stone pestle, suddenly stopped. Then he saw him looking at Maka with a confused face and said:

"Why?"

"Hmm..." Maka looked directly at his puzzled face and replied, "although you may be unhappy when I say that, but... How do you say? You --"

Before he had finished, Ron across from him seemed to understand his meaning at once and raised his hand for a little sign.

"Wait, let me guess," he said subtly, "do you want to say... Because I can't do anything at ordinary times and my sense of existence is too low, so even what I do, it's hard for others to notice. And it's because of this that you choose to find me?"

"Oh!"

When Maka heard him speak so plainly, she couldn't help waving her hand and saying:

"No, no, no, it's not 'nothing can be done'... It's' low-key '!"

"Hey, Marca!" Ron scratched his head with a bitter smile. "How many years do you think we've known each other? Seriously, you don't have to be so tactful when talking to me. It's not like you at all! If you put it in the past, you'd say it directly and stimulate me again -"

"Really?" Marca shrugged.

"That's it!" said Ron with a sad face. "What you're good at is beating people first, and then persuading others with a great truth full of ideals and hopes... As for what you said just now, it makes me feel really useless!"

"Oh, I'm sorry!" Marca smiled disapprovingly. "Okay... So, Ron... Are you listening to the secret I just mentioned or not?"

"Listen! Why don't you listen?" Ron said hurriedly. "I was just too surprised to relax! But since you think I'm the best candidate, why should I refuse - it's a rare opportunity for me to do something!"

As he was saying this, he suddenly shrunk his neck and said in a low voice:

"By the way, Marca, is that... Life-threatening?"

When Maka heard this, she rolled her eyes.

"Yes!" he said silently, "is it still willing now?"

"This --" Ron hesitated for a moment with a worried face, and finally said with extra difficulty, "ah! Go ahead, say it! What do you want me to do? Say it before I regret it!"

"Have backbone!"

Maka looked at his appearance of sacrificing his life to accompany him. She could not help laughing, but soon put away her joking expression and was very serious:

"Well, don't be ridiculous! I just said that your life was in danger. That scared you - in fact, as long as you behave normally, you can basically say that there is no danger! Well, sit over and listen to me..."

When Ron got closer, he saw that Maka first put a silencing spell around, and then lowered her voice and said:

"First of all, I believe you heard what I said when I introduced the girl as a child - she was originally Haier Bo's subordinate. Before, in downtown London, because Haier Bo suddenly lost control and ran away, her two companions died. Finally, I saved her, so she came back with me."

"Then... You think she is to repay me! Although the specific situation is more complicated..." Maka casually skipped some details and then said, "in short, she told me the task given to her by Haier Bo and a secret that Haier Bo accidentally mentioned."

At this point, Maka frowned slightly, as if still worried.

"The first thing, I won't tell you about her mission for the time being. I'll tell you the secret directly," he whispered, "It is said that Haier Bo has moved some hands and feet around us and buried a 'spy' who doesn't know who it is. Obviously, this is a huge hidden danger for us, because it is very likely to be an acquaintance!"

"So --"

Listen, Ron's expression became more and more serious, because he easily realized the seriousness.

To be honest, the existence of a spy can be big or small. The key depends on the spy's ability.

But it's not easy to think that halbo buried the spy.

"So, you're going to let me find a way to test in the dark who is most likely to be controlled by Haier Bo?" Ron hesitated. "Oh... It's really a secret that no one can tell! If the spy knows that we have detected his existence, the matter will become more complicated."

"That's right," Maka nodded. "Therefore, as long as you can keep it secret, the spy who has not received Haier Bo's direct order must be safe for you - 'he'... Or 'she', and there will be no threat at all."

It's impossible for ordinary spies to hide so deep around them. So strictly speaking, spies who don't know who they are will never easily reveal their identity, so they can even be said to be "friendly".

"I see," said Ron with a slight nod. "Go ahead! Do you have any suggestions?"
