Chapter 706 Please Don't Make Me Regret

By now, it was impossible for Maca to regard Sarah's appearance as a reference anymore. Even a talented girl who is unique in thousands of miles can't have such deep eyes, let alone keep a calm face after being cut off with an arm at the shoulder.

Leaving nothing else aside, does she feel no pain?

Maca himself is considered to be the type with a very high tolerance for pain. Back then, he could even forcibly resist the Cruciatus Curse that was enough to drive people crazy. But even for him, it was impossible to remain calm in that situation, without even frowning.

"So, are you my friend?"

Although Maca's words sounded full of suspicion, his actual thoughts were not like that.

He took the initiative to find a way to get Sarah into Hogwarts, and the whole process was full of his personal persuasion behavior from the beginning to the end. If it was possible that he had inadvertently gotten himself into trouble, it would be nonsense to say that Sarah had managed to get it together.

Therefore, Maca is not as full of speculation as he has shown about this girl... or, in other words, the person who "looks a lot like a little girl".

He asked this because he just wanted to regain the dominance of the conversation.

"So, are you unwilling to help me?" Maca's words didn't shake Sarah too much, at least not on the surface, "If that's the case, forget it."

"No, I didn't say I wouldn't help." Maca glanced at Lian Chengzhen on the floor, then waved his hands and said, "You don't want to explain first, and I don't want to express my opinion first, so why don't you let this matter go first?" Things aside. Ummmmmmm, before we come to an agreement with each other, I think we can talk about other topics—"

He said, pointing with his chin to the bald prophet who was put aside by him. The old man was still lying flat with his eyes tightly closed, motionless, showing no sign of waking up.

"For example,

Can you explain to me what you did before? Maca asked curiously, "Is it some kind of alchemy?" Or something else... According to my guess, this old gentleman seems to be able to perform short-term predictions..."

"That's not 'precognition'... it's 'prediction'."

Sarah did not object to Maca's proposal to change the subject. However, she denied the inference of Maca, who had actually fought against the opponent, and used another rather similar word to define the ability of the bald old man.

"Prediction?" Maca raised his eyebrows, "How do you say?"

"He's an alchemist," Sarah said with certainty, "I didn't realize it at first, but the moment he took off his hood, I knew for sure—you can look at his neck. "

When Maca heard this, he immediately made a move, and the unconscious old man floated to his side immediately.

At that time, he hadn't noticed it when they were confronting each other, but now, just looking at it, he found that there seemed to be some kind of tattoo-like pattern printed on the neck of the other party. And when he pulled off his collar, several familiar symbols quickly came into his eyes.

"This...is also a formation?"

Judging from the protruding part of the neck, the old man's back, and even his body, probably have been tattooed with a large number of alchemy symbols and lines. As for the effect, Maca is basically invisible.

"Not all of them... There should be at least two types of alchemy diagrams on him," Sarah said softly, "The first one is called 'horoscope circle', which is a formation that predicts the future with the help of celestial bodies and astrology. The pictures are not counted in the refining formation."

"...Is it a constellation?" Maca nodded thoughtfully, "I remember you read a few Latin words about constellations."

"The basic formations of alchemy are very easy to be disturbed. Although there are special formation structures for anti-interference, the effect is also limited. After using the spirit to forcibly resonate with the opponent, words alone can be extremely The earth interferes with the opponent, and even temporarily tampers with the formation."

The art of astrology has existed since ancient times.

Even though the stars all over the sky are very far away from us, even Muggles know that almost all of them are stars more terrifying than the sun.

In the magic world, whether it is alchemy or magic, they have tried to use their majestic magic power that has reached the earth over countless years in various forms-but it is undoubtedly extremely difficult.

Therefore, only by finding another way, through various calculations and perceptions, divination, which indirectly uses the mysterious power of stars to deduce the past and future, has been successful.

When Maca heard this answer from Sarah, he quickly agreed with it.

"Hmm..." Maca, who was thinking about the wonderful effect of the astrological circle, suddenly remembered another point that Sarah mentioned just now, "You said there are at least two alchemy formations? There is another one that is what?"

Maca's question made Sarah hesitate for some reason. That trace of hesitation was very inconspicuous, and it would be difficult to notice it if one didn't pay attention, but Maca still noticed the momentary flicker in Sarah's eyes.

"It is the control formation of the alchemy puppet. In alchemy, it belongs to the cross-knowledge field of material refining and spiritual refining."

"……yes?"

Maca immediately thought of the group of weird black-robed believers, but he also checked carefully. Although the souls of those believers are completely different from ordinary people, their bodies are still the same.

Of course, his specific understanding of the "alchemy doll" is quite small, so it is impossible to make a conclusion.

It's just that Maca doesn't care so much about those black-robed believers now.

"Alchemy puppet..." He looked at Sarah's surprisingly flat face, and asked intentionally or unintentionally, "Can you tell me about it? How can it be counted as an 'alchemy puppet'?"

These days, if you talk about alchemy with other wizards, most people will only think of Nico Flamel and his Philosopher's Stone. Gold refining and elixir have almost become the supreme representatives of alchemy.

It is undeniable that it is indeed the pinnacle of alchemy, even in ancient times. No one can deny that Nicole Flamel, a genius alchemist who has lived for more than six hundred years, can be said to be outstanding in the world of alchemy.

However, that is only the culmination of the general direction of "substance refining" in alchemy.

"The production of alchemy dolls belongs to material refinement, and when it comes to manipulation, it has to do with spiritual refinement." Sarah said softly, "As for the definition of alchemy dolls... there is nothing to define, everything Any movable object that can be manipulated by an alchemist at a distance can be regarded as an alchemy doll."

"Even if it's a lump of iron?"

Maca just gave an example jokingly, but Sarah nodded seriously.

"As long as the alchemist who made it thinks it is, it is."

For Sarah's frank answer, Maca couldn't help but feel a little complicated in his heart. He did have a conjecture based on this, but it was difficult to express this conjecture directly.

But just when Maca was hesitating, Sarah actually spoke up——

"Professor McLean, please don't look at me like that," she pursed her lips and said, "Your gaze is too disrespectful to a woman... Also, I'm not an alchemy puppet. "

This time, Maca didn't pick up Sarah's words. He neither affirmed the other party's words, nor tried to deny them, let alone laughed off the topic.

Regarding Sarah's existence, this was without a doubt the most likely inference he had obtained so far, and he couldn't dismiss it casually based on just a word from the other party.

But, even if he didn't want to give up this guess, so what?

Sarah and Maca looked at each other quietly. The former never tried to use her spiritual refinement in front of Maca, and the latter didn't use Legilimency or Soul Rules to touch Sarah's thoughts.

Perhaps, at this moment, the moods of the two are unexpectedly similar—they are unwilling to compromise easily, but they also don't want to use certain means to force the other to back down.

"Didn't you want to block my mouth with the matter of saving the children at the beginning? Why don't you mention a word now?" Maca thought secretly.

In the Room of Requirement, there was a long silence.

To be honest, Sarah's current silence made Maca a little helpless. If she had maintained her initial attitude, Maca would not be as depressed as she is now.

"Okay, okay, I lost this time."

After such a period of stalemate, Maca finally had to temporarily choose to give up.

Because Sarah has her own right to insist on not telling, and Maca has no reason to force her to reveal her secret without posing a threat.

"If you don't want to say it, don't say it! Anyway, I have to thank you for what happened today, and I believe those children will also express their most sincere thanks to you." He shrugged and said, "Well, I owe you once, I Will give back 'as appropriate'."

He put the word "discretionary" very emphatically, and obviously he still refused to make any promises casually, because favors are never something that is easy to repay.

"You go down first! By the way, I suggest you go to the school hospital to lie down for two days—" Maca smiled and said, "If you don't want to continue to expose any problems."

Hearing what Maca said, Sarah couldn't help but sighed a little. She didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, then turned and walked towards the door of the room of emergency.

But when she took a few steps, before even touching the edge of the door, her footsteps stopped again.

"Professor McLean, since you want to know so much..."

Sarah turned her back to Maca, and paused for a while.

"Please don't make me regret this decision I made today..."
