Chapter 1716

"Hermione, pass me the armadillo bile, and then you can directly start grinding the Scarab - remember to use the agate mortar, take your time and don't worry."

In a small room in the wizard tower, Maka gently stirred the warm liquid medicine in the crucible. At another table not far from him, Hermione, who was fighting for him, was handing over a small bottle containing animal bile.

After a while, when Hermione brought the ground Scarab powder to Marca's hand, he suddenly glanced up at the pocket watch he had put in the corner of the table.

It can be seen that the hour hand on the dial has pointed to the position of "1".

"Well, there's nothing to deal with next. Go to bed quickly! Just give me the rest of the steps. There will be no less to do in the next period of time. You have to have a good rest."

After that, he continued to stir the liquid medicine in the crucible at a constant speed in one hand, and slowly added the powder brought by Hermione in the other hand.

Just beside him, Hermione didn't leave immediately.

"Marca, can I... Talk to you?"

"Hmm?" Marca quickly replied, "yes, yes... But what do you want to talk about?"

"It's about the next plan or something," Hermione hesitated as she watched him patiently stir the liquid medicine. "Just like you said, 'there's a lot to do next' - what's the plan?"

Thinking that Maka had survived the loss of strength at great risk today, Hermione knew that he would start to consider counterattack against Haier Bo again. After all, blindly defending and retreating is by no means the way to solve the problem, not to mention that they have actually reached a situation where they can't retreat.

However, halbo's growing strength is also based on his increasingly powerful magic power. Maka, who has been reorganized this time, doesn't know how sure she can be if she faces each other face to face.

In fact, not only Hermione, but also everyone wants to have a bottom.

"Do you have a plan?" when Hermione asked about her plan, Marca couldn't help but pause a little. "I want to say I haven't thought it out yet. Do you believe it?"

"Believe!" Hermione said decisively. "As long as you say, I'll believe it. But... If so, in case halbo takes unexpected actions, won't we be very passive?"

I have to say that Hermione was right - she did get to the point. However, in the current situation, it is almost impossible for Maka to think out a set of interrelated solutions in advance as before.

At present, Maka has been forced to the "corner" by Haier Bo's series of chasing and beating.

On the premise that it is difficult to capture the trend of Haier Bo, let alone now, there is no ability to monitor, and even the degree of grasp of various external forces has been greatly reduced.

In the current situation of extremely lack of information access, if you want to make plans or something, it will only be a very ridiculous thing.

Unfortunately, at the moment of "one more step back is death", even if you are hard headed, you have to face the difficulties.

"Well, to tell you the truth, I've always been grateful that you can trust me so much," Marca said. "As for 'passive' or 'active'... If you have to say, this problem is not so difficult to solve."

At this point, seeing Hermione seemed to ask, Maka immediately shook her head. Then, he stopped the action in his hand, pulled the mixing rod out of the liquid medicine and put it in a tray.

Then he turned to Hermione and said:

"How to solve it involves another problem - it may be a difficult choice for me, but I have to rely on myself to make a decision. Therefore, I'll tell you when I get the answer!"

Marca said so, obviously unwilling to continue the discussion on this point.

Hermione, who knows this, is still curious... No, actually after hearing Maka's words, she wants to know more. However, considering Maka's mood and willingness, she nodded slightly, indicating that she would not ask more questions.

So Hermione thought again, and then turned to say:

"Well, in addition to the direct plan for Haier Bo, do you have any indirect ideas? Otherwise, you won't say you have something to do next."

When Hermione asked this question again, Maka raised the temperature of the flame under the crucible for another stage. As the liquid medicine began to boil, he finally picked up the cover and covered it.

"Yes!" said Marca after closing the lid. "Of course, I know why you want to ask this - you want to know what I'm going to ask you to do, don't you?"

When Marca broke her mind, Hermione could not help but sip her mouth, as if she was embarrassed. Because she knows that this is more or less an "old problem" of her, that is, she can't tolerate the state that she can only wait there in silence.

"Yes."

Finally, Hermione nodded her head again and answered softly.

Soon, Maka smiled at her and said seriously:

"Although Hogwarts has not been able to resume normal teaching for the time being, my 'private course' is going to reopen here! I have some ideas that I need you... Especially you, Luna, Delphi, Harry and Neville, plus Ernst and Alexander... Well, maybe Mr. brova - I need you to learn more, but Then you can really help me do something! "

"Oh, really?" Hermione finally whispered in surprise as soon as she heard this.

"Of course it's true," Maka said affirmatively. "Now I have clearly realized that my personal ability is always limited in the disasters that Haier Bo can cause. Previously, we didn't have that buffer under the pressure of each other, but now we seem to have no choice..."

As he was talking, he suddenly heard a slight explosion of "crackling" in the crucible in front of him. He immediately stopped his words and stretched out his hand to open the lid of the crucible.

Then, he stretched out his finger and shook it slightly. The boiling liquid medicine immediately dissipated its heat and completely calmed down.

Until now, Maka nodded:

"Well, it's time to go to Alexander and give him medicine... If he recovers early, I can have another excellent student early, can't I?"
