Chapter 1208 It's Enough to Fool Me a Little
"The change in the mist? Is it related to that Muriel?"
To be honest, Maca didn't have a deep impression of Muriel. If it wasn't for Pansy's failure to rescue her from the Ministry of Magic's dungeon, which triggered the second jailbreak, Maca might not even be able to remember her as soon as she heard her name.
On the opposite side, Lupine was sitting on the bench where Neville and Hannah sat before, thought for a while and said:
"Yes, at least that's what Haierbo said at the time. Of course, I don't quite understand what's going on... What do you think?"
At this moment, the two were sitting facing each other, and on the ground between them, letters and notes were scattered all over the place. While the two of them were talking, they checked out useful information one after another.
It has to be said that this is undoubtedly a very exhausting job, but neither Lupine nor Maca complained about Mundungus, after all, that guy is really not good at doing this kind of thing.
Not only that, Mundungus was able to send all the intelligence materials. This decision may seem stupid, but it is actually quite correct. Because in today's special period, Maca would rather spend a little more time on her own, and did not hope that there would be any omissions.
After about half an hour, Maca and Lupine both stopped their action of sorting out information. Maca twisted her neck, which was sore from keeping her head down, and said thoughtfully:
"It seems that Haierbo's apprentices should all be 'crazy'...Of course, according to what you just said, Martin seems to be an exception."
Since there was one exception, there might be a second one. Maca felt that it was necessary for people to look for it. Then, I heard Maca continue:
"...Then, similarly, Haierbo summoned those lunatics for the time being. Although I don't know what purpose he has, but thinking about it, it probably won't be a good thing."
Speaking of this, Maca paused for a moment, and frowned slightly.
"As for the change of the fog that you are most concerned about... Lupine, I just have something related to it that I want to tell you..."
Lupine was also taken aback by the demon summoning technique. However, since even Maca didn't know what the process and result of this summoning technique was like, after listening to it, Lupine had more doubts in his heart.
But, of course, it is better to have a coherent problem than to have no beginning and no end. Anyway, Lu Ping, who has already understood the general context, will not even know where to start to investigate.
I saw him nodding his head seriously,
Shen Sheng said:
"So, what should be put first now is... to find that witch named 'Muriel'?"
"Well, that's right," Maca nodded slightly, "but she is obviously very important to Haierbo now, so he must have hidden her very deeply. Finding her is by no means an easy task."
"Anyway, I can only bite the bullet and look for it," Lupine handed the information at hand to Maca, then stood up and said, "Then I'm leaving, and I'll go to Sirius first... If there are no accidents If so, Kingsley should be with him too. Tonight, before the men sent by the federation arrive, we will mainly focus on defending the two shelters...Let’s wait for the help to find someone after the reinforcements arrive!"
"Okay," Maca immediately got up and said, "That's it for the time being. In the meantime, I'll ask my spiders to help you find it...Be careful when you go there."
...
Just as Lupine said goodbye to Maca and left, the situation in Diagon Alley temporarily turned to safety.
The arrival of Aberforth made the Leaky Cauldron's line of defense much more solid and reliable. Coupled with the fact that Haierbo's apprentice, who was the most difficult to deal with, was temporarily recalled, they even had a chance to counterattack.
However, what gave Kingsley a headache was that Aberforth was not very cooperative.
"Don't assign people to me. I'm used to being alone. If there are too many people, I won't get used to it..."
The old man waved his hand, resolutely not wanting some of the Aurors that Kingsley separated, and would rather go alone. According to him, it was because he was not good at directing and cooperating.
But now there are still many dark wizards outside, at least twice as many as theirs. If only one person fights, no matter how good Aberforth is at fighting, he will inevitably fall into a dilemma.
What's more, judging from the situation of fighting so many people outside alone, the advantage he gained was mainly due to the surprise attack at the beginning. And after that, the situation of the battle obviously gradually turned to stalemate. If it is only a direct confrontation, the situation may not be so optimistic.
"Aberforth, I believe you must also understand. In this situation, fighting in groups is obviously better than fighting alone. Even if you don't know how to cooperate with people, at least bring some people around, at least you can help You take some of the pressure off the enemy."
"Okay, okay, let's talk about it later!" Aberforth said casually, "Anyway, we have to wait for the guys from the Federation to come over, otherwise, it doesn't matter if we just attack here." significance."
After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand and pulled a chair, and sat down carelessly towards the door. Looking at the dark wizards outside the magic barrier, he didn't know what he was thinking about.
Seeing this, Kingsley had no choice but to turn his head, and shook his head helplessly at Sirius.
"Let's go up and keep an eye on it! The view from the window over there is relatively wide. If there is any abnormality, we can find it there as soon as possible."
Tonks on the side watched the two of them go upstairs, this time she didn't follow along, but looked back and forth several times at Aberforth who was blocking the door with some curiosity.
"What are you looking at?" Aberforth said angrily, "Is there anything to see... If you want to see it, look outside. By the way, think carefully about how to deal with these bastards who don't sleep in the middle of the night!"
"Oh, sorry," Tonks leaned against the wall next to him and shrugged, "I was just wondering if there is something special about Dumbledore, or else, why are you and the professor so powerful. "
"Hmph, I knew it, it's my bastard brother again," Aberforth curled his lips, "You guys, don't keep comparing me to him... Maybe no one can do it except for that McLean. Compared to that bastard."
Upon hearing this, Tonks immediately raised his eyebrows and said:
"Actually, I discovered it when I was at the Pig's Head Bar. Although you never speak nicely when you mention the professor, you still seem to respect him very much, don't you?"
"Of course," Aberforth snorted softly without looking back, "In terms of talent and strength, he has been far superior to his peers since he was a child; in terms of mind, he has always been outstanding... Don't look at me like this , I feel very 'proud' of my brother in my heart!"
Even if he couldn't see his expression when he spoke, Tonks could hear a strong sense of sarcasm in his tone. Although Tonks had no idea of the conflict between the two brothers, she also knew that it was best not to continue this topic.
After a short pause, Tonks suddenly turned around and said:
"What about Maca? In fact, not only you, but many people also say that Maca is the second Albus Dumbledore... As for the professor, I think you must know better than anyone, and I heard that Maca I often go to the Pig's Head Bar... Do you think the two of them look alike?"
However, Aberforth suddenly turned around and glared at her.
"I remember, you're that kid Remus's little girlfriend, aren't you?" he said, "No wonder you can be together, you have the same way of thinking when you have nothing to say... It was Kingsley who asked you to talk to me Right? Go tell him, stop thinking about it, instead of thinking about how to get along with me, it is better to think about what to do next... Let me see, things tonight will not be so simple, Federation The support may not make the situation much better."
Before he finished speaking, he turned his head and signaled to Tonks what to do, so as not to get entangled with the old man here.
Obviously, although Aberforth looks rough, he can quickly see through other people's petty thoughts.
Tonks saw that he ignored him after saying these words, so he could only shrink his neck and stick out his tongue, then turned around and planned to go upstairs.
But at this moment, Aberforth who was sitting at the door suddenly said:
"By the way, get those two guys down... Your man is coming."
"what?"
Upon hearing this, Tonks immediately turned around and came over, hurriedly looking outside the door. But Aberforth pushed her and said impatiently:
"Ah what, hurry up and call someone! They can't see it upstairs from this angle."
Although Tonks was pushed aside by him, at that moment, she still saw the familiar figure in the opposite alley.
After finding out that Lupine should be fine, she ran to the stairs with a little reassurance, and went up the stairs without a hitch.
Not long after, Kingsley and Sirius hurried back to the door with Tonks, who had just gone up. After looking at Lupine's location, they immediately discussed the specific action plan to take him over.
There are still many enemies outside right now, and they are all the kind of guys who are not quite right. As Maca said before, those should be congregants summoned by Haierbo's apprentices, and they are almost ordinary wizards controlled by black magic.
Unlike Aberforth, who is completely informal, at least Kingsley believes that they need to deal with these people more carefully. If there are too many casualties, the Ministry of Magic may have a very bad influence on the wizarding community.
After all, the people don't think that they can treat human life lightly in critical moments, and it is not uncommon in history that similar situations have aroused public indignation.
Aberforth obviously didn't agree with this.
"Isn't it okay to fool around a bit at that time?"
