Chapter 1032
"Did you think of something?"
Seeing that the tavern owner seemed to recall something through the conversation with Maca, Maca immediately raised his eyebrows and asked a question.
And immediately after that, without further urging from him, he took the initiative to explain to Convenience:
"It's like this... You mentioned Hufflepuff just now, didn't you? I suddenly remembered that my friend Martin just came back from abroad some time ago, and he came to my tavern to chat about the past. Oh He was also a Hufflepuff back then, the same class as me."
"Really?" Maca nodded, "Could it be... something strange happened to your friend?"
"That's right!" The boss Ted immediately continued, "Martin's Charms and Defense Against the Dark Arts have always been very good, and soon after graduation he was hired by a foreign family to be a private spellbreaker—— You are also a student of Hogwarts, right? Don't you think this is already a very rare excellence for Hufflepuff?"
"Well, that's true."
Maca didn't comment too much on this, but just agreed with a smile.
Of course, the boss obviously didn't talk about these things to praise his friends. After briefly introducing that Martin, he immediately said:
"In fact, the time he returned to China was mainly for work. At that time, I remember that after the disaster in the city, the family that hired him wanted him to come over to check the current situation of the British wizarding world, saying that it was necessary to introduce Several shops set up here are temporarily closed..."
As the boss said, although with the efforts of Maca, the British magic world is gradually returning to its original state, and ordinary wizards have also felt a lot more at ease.
But like some relatively large wizarding families, they are still not as optimistic as ordinary people.
Under the calming water surface, many shrewd eyes are constantly watching. As long as the confrontation between Maca and Haierbo is still stalemate, no one can guarantee what kind of choice will be made in the end from the standpoint of those forces.
Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages obviously exists everywhere, Maca will not be surprised at all.
After briefly mentioning this trivial matter, the tavern owner seemed to realize that he was a bit off topic, and immediately smiled apologetically at Maca.
"Sorry, I'm often like this. I forget what I'm going to talk about!" He said, "Well, did you mention that Martin is a spellbreaker? You must know that this kind of work is basically Just dealing with curses and jinxes and stuff like that. And actually..."
The boss was talking, but suddenly paused, and then said:
"Martin had been walking around here before he came to my place. When we were drinking and reminiscing about the old days at my place, he seemed to mention that he found some traces of a spell about half a mile away-I At that time, I didn't really care about it, but now that the guest said it, I just realized that there seems to be such a thing!"
"Half a mile away?" Maca frowned slightly, "Did your friend tell me exactly where?"
Hearing Maca ask about the detailed location, the boss Ted habitually raised his head and recalled it again for a while.
"It seems to be in the northwest direction?" He hesitated, and shook his head after a while, "I really can't remember the others... Oh, Martin said that he saw an old Muggle factory building there!"
"Thank you, that's enough!"
Maca nodded again and expressed his thanks with a smile.
"I'm sorry to trouble you... I'm sorry for making you talk so much." He waved to the windbreaker wizard opposite him as he spoke, "Give me the menu again, I can take care of the boss's life— "
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly looked at the menu in his hand and laughed.
"Looks like it's gone."
Wizards generally don't spend too much time cooking, and this is naturally thanks to the Helga Hufflepuff who liked to study cooking spells back then.
Although none of her recipes seem to have been handed down,
However, many culinary curses have gradually changed their appearance and continue to this day under the continuation of the times.
Not long after, the dining table where Maca and the wizard in the windbreaker were sitting was filled with various delicacies one after another.
To be honest, Maca didn't quite understand why the wizard in the windbreaker would order so many dishes at once. But it doesn't matter, based on the time he spent with the other party, it can be understood that there must be reasons for the other party to do so.
Because in his impression, this unidentified witch was a very frugal and make do on a daily basis.
Of course, the more important thing is that now he really doesn't care about this little Gallon—seriously, if everything can be solved with money!
However, after just over ten minutes, Maca suddenly understood why she ordered such a large number of dishes.
"Is it okay?" Looking at the windbreaker wizard opposite, he couldn't help asking, "Is it possible that you really intend to fill this table with all the dishes?"
"Huh?" Hearing Maca's question, the other party's hand holding the fork suddenly paused, "Ah, I'm sorry... Am I too hungry?"
At this time, Maca actually wanted to say that he had never seen a normal person with such a large appetite in his life—this might be comparable to that giant hybrid of Haigrid, right?
"No, it's okay, just eat—" Maca said dumbfoundingly, "It's a good thing to be able to eat, if you don't have enough, you can order more!"
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh:
"I'm afraid you haven't eaten enough at ordinary times, right? Why, you know how to be polite in front of others, but you're fine with me? Does that mean that my gaze doesn't matter at all?"
He said that naturally as a joke.
After all, although it is really rare for people who can eat so much, any weird things can happen in the magic world, so there is really nothing surprising.
However, the windbreaker wizard seemed to take Maca's joke seriously. After being taken aback for a while, as if he wanted to solve this "misunderstanding" no matter what, he tried his best to explain:
"No, that's not it! You are very, very important to me! The reason I'm doing this in front of you is because you are my—"
Maca really didn't expect that it was just a small joke, which almost caused the opponent's patience so far to fall short.
Fortunately, at the last moment, as if she remembered her mission of being here now, she gritted her teeth and swallowed back the words that were about to blurt out.
"Okay," Maca said with a wry smile at the time, "It's my fault, I shouldn't be joking casually—eat it! Forget everything just now, and continue eating! I'll forget about that too."
When Maca felt somewhat regretful, the windbreaker wizard couldn't help pursing his lips, and pulled the brim of the hat on his forehead even lower.
Almost said it, just a little bit!
If I have exposed my identity here, then what is the effort I have made before?
Yes, after coming here and seeing the person in front of me, the emotion buried deep in my heart has been surging. But even so, for the ultimate goal, I must continue to persevere.
After that, there was a sudden silence between the two of them. After filling his stomach, Maca watched the other party silently stuffing all the rest of the meal into his mouth while drinking coffee.
"...It's really all over."
After secretly complaining, Maca greeted the boss Ted to settle the bill, and while expressing his gratitude again, he counted the change as a tip after the meal and left it to the other party.
A few minutes later, while walking on the street outside with the windbreaker wizard, Maca asked casually:
"How is the taste?"
"Yes, it's very delicious." The windbreaker wizard who was beside him nodded immediately.
"Well, I think so too..." Maca thought for a while and said, "Then, let's go back to Hogwarts now!"
"Eh?" Hearing the words, the other party couldn't help but wondered, "Mr. McLean, didn't the boss say something suspicious just now? It's not evening yet, why don't you go and have a look—"
"No, there's no need to look for that place." Maca shook her head and interrupted her, "There's nothing there."
...
And at the same time that Maca said that, in the Hanged Man Tavern.
The boss Ted was standing in the kitchen at the deepest part of the tavern at this moment, looking at the portrait hanging on the wall, a glint of sternness flashed in his eyes.
"Old woman, step aside quickly! Make room for my teacher!"
Before she finished speaking, the old Mrs. Graeman, who had originally occupied the photo frame, shrank back tremblingly, revealing a wooden door hidden behind her.
As the wooden door in the magic portrait was pushed open with a creak, a figure wrapped in black flames suddenly emerged from it.
"Please allow the students to show the highest respect to the teacher!"
"Hmm... I don't need to say more about these words." A voice rang out from the boss's mind, "Remember what I told you, this door can only be opened once every 13 days—say, what happened? What's the matter?"
The boss Ted heard the words and hurriedly explained:
"That's right! As the teacher expected, that McClain finally came to this tavern just now and asked me some questions. I have just given him a completely irrelevant clue as the teacher said."
"Didn't arouse his suspicion?"
"Of course," the tavern owner nodded immediately, "I'm just an ordinary wizard, and I haven't even learned black magic, so how could he notice any problems?"
"That's good," said the black shadow, "don't worry, once my purpose is accomplished, you can learn any magic you want... Hehe, for a young man like you who is both talented and knows how to study hard, I can't help you. Can't appreciate it enough..."
Before the words fell, the tavern owner also showed an excited smile.
