"Everyone in the Werther family, good evening!"

Under the dim streetlights, Maca was wearing an old and plain dark blue wizard robe, and bowed gracefully. There is a strange sense of jump in his tone, which makes people unknowingly think of the way of reciting ancient runes.

But in the next moment, Maka, who was bending over to salute, suddenly raised her head, showing a chilling smile on her strange expression.

"...Maka Diher, hereby offer you...the most wonderful blessings!"

According to legend, the Diher family has been a family of talented wizards since its ancestors founded it. Whether it was the mainstream magic research at the beginning, or after the development of soul magic in the mid-term, this has always been the case.

However, the wisdom of the members of the Diehl family did not bring them peace of mind.

Starting from the ancestor who created the Diher family, all outstanding family members have an extremely restless mental state.

It doesn't matter if there is only a thin line between a genius and a lunatic, or if the family bloodline has been deeply cursed from the very beginning. In short, it was a powerful family that confuses everyone.

On this point, Roy only has a rough description rather than a detailed record.

Because of this, what Maca has to do now is to try to understand the so-called "unstable mental state" and interpret it.

I have to say, the feeling of being a lunatic with a weird personality... I don't know why, but it's quite emotional.

"Dieher... The Diher family..." The old wizard of the Werther family in the lead frowned tightly, holding the wand hidden in his sleeve tightly, and the wavering in his eyes was undoubtedly revealed.

"Impossible! It is clearly written in the family annals that the Diher family has been completely wiped out as early as ancient times! You kid, where did you come from—"

"Silence!"

Beside the old wizard, another middle-aged wizard suddenly asked questions, but the old wizard stopped him sharply.

"Mr. Diehl...Although it is very rude, but...the Diehl family has been here for more than three thousand years..." The old wizard said solemnly, "I don't know why Mr. Diehl's sudden arrival is so important. Proof of identity?"

Although the old wizard asked this question, he saw that Maca's whole body was exactly the same as that recorded in the ancient books...even worse, which made people feel a creepy sense of reality.

Maca had only straightened up now, he put away the treacherous smile on his face, and nodded slightly calmly.

"Proof?" He began to wonder inexplicably, "Of course, of course, the reasonable requirements that should be taken for granted...Of course! Then-then the question comes, I want to prove that I am me, and what method should I use to prove it What about it? Theorem of Samus's soul balance? Or Godegger's soul mass equation?"

"Wonderful... This is really wonderful!" Maka opened her eyes wide with all her strength, as if she was going to pop them out, and then laughed out of nowhere, "Hmph...hahahaha..."

Suddenly, the laughter that had just started to go crazy stopped suddenly, and with a wave of his wand, a 30-foot-wide giant black mist skull headed straight for the members of the Werther family.

"...Isn't this enough to prove it?" He rubbed his scalp with his wand, seemingly asking himself, but also talking to them, "Oh—it seems a little too complicated, isn't it?"

Obviously, Maca played very hard.

That's right, it means "force"!

The more he devoted himself, the more he found that if he wanted to play this kind of role well, he had to risk cramping and use all his strength to make expressions and movements as exaggerated as possible.

And in order to deter the Werther family, the soul-impacting magic he cast just now is actually close to the limit of the magic spell itself.

After all, it is just an incomplete spell that has been selected and repaired by him. Its lower limit of power is very high, but in comparison, its upper limit seems a bit low.

If the other party has also dabbled in soul magic,

The effect of this spell is very likely to be discounted, and it may even be completely resisted by the old wizard who is obviously not easy to deal with.

Although Maca still has a few soul spells, the effects of those spells are not suitable for "greeting".

If it goes too far, it will inevitably lead to passive resistance from the other party—he is not here to kick the gym this time, and there is a problem of "speed" that must be grasped, which is one of the difficulties.

Sure enough, although Maca is not sure what is recorded in "Abatel", what is certain is that there must be books related to soul magic in the Werther family's collection.

The old wizard also showed his wand and stepped forward with a serious expression.

Silently, a seemingly invisible barrier flashed in front of him, and the black skull released by Maca seemed to hit an elastic wall, and the speed slowed down visibly to the naked eye .

However, it was a bit slow, but the huge phantom of the black mist skull was obviously still moving forward. As a last resort, the members of the Werther family dispersed decisively and ran to both sides of the courtyard in the vestibule.

The next moment, the old wizard who was dragging the phantom of the skull with his own strength also quickly avoided it. The phantom of the skull, which was freed from the shackles, rushed into the hall of Werther's mansion again and quickly dissipated.

"The powerful and weird soul magic...is exactly as described in the records," the old wizard looked at Maca cautiously, and then nodded slightly, "The Werther family welcomes distinguished guests, please go to the hall to rest for a while, presumably The owner will be happy to meet with you."

...

"Old butler... that young man who claims to be a descendant of Diher looks very suspicious no matter how he looks! That mentally abnormal appearance is just like... just like..."

On the stairs leading to the master's study, the middle-aged wizard followed the old wizard, and kept expressing his doubts in his heart.

"It's reasonable to be abnormal..." The old wizard he called the butler narrowed his eyes and said, "According to some ancient documents, the members of the Diher family are all geniuses, but they are also all lunatics. ."

"But--"

"You don't understand..." The old wizard shook his head and said, "There is no need to follow anymore... Inform everyone in the family to treat that distinguished guest with caution and not slack off in the slightest."

After that, he continued to go upstairs and went to the owner to explain the situation.

A moment later, in the study on the third floor...

"The Diher family... Since there are still descendants of that family, I am not surprised that they chose to live in this period. I'm afraid... They must have noticed the 'shock' more than two years ago Bar?"

The current Patriarch of the Werther family is also quite old. Just looking at his white beard and hair, it is estimated that Dumbledore is not a few years older than him.

But unlike Dumbledore, this old man had a deep sternness hidden in his eyes. In Maca's words - this old man is by no means a "good stubble"!

He was wearing a simple attire similar to the wizard robe on Maca, with a black background and gold edging, and the Werther family crest embroidered on the collar. The simplicity carried a sense of mystery from ancient times.

"Bano, since you've tested that young man from the Diher family... how does it feel?" The old Patriarch thought for a moment, and then asked about Maca's situation.

"Strong! It's completely in line with the records in the literature. The soul magic is unusually powerful! It's not what he should have at his age..." The old butler said, hesitating again, "But...he looks... ...appears to be the 'Maca McLean' that was previously featured in the Daily Prophet?"

"Dumbledore has another 'good student'..." The old Patriarch chuckled lightly, and then said thoughtfully, "It seems that the magic world is going to be uneasy again..."

"Then our Werther family?"

"Don't worry, go see that honored guest first..." The old head of the family said calmly, "Whether the Diher family has already secretly accumulated strength, or has fallen and withered... Even if it actually has only one descendant left, then it will be the end of the day." Nor is it an existence that can be dealt with casually."

"I have already notified them, telling them to 'respond with caution and not slack off'."

"It should be so." The old Patriarch nodded, then stood up and said, "Then go down and have a look!"

...

Under the instructions of the old housekeeper "not to slack off in the slightest", the Werther family, who had always been strict in rules and seemed a little deserted, suddenly became busy.

The house elves are working non-stop, planning to prepare a sumptuous supper first; the family members who have already fallen asleep are woken up one by one, whether they like it or not, they will get up from the bed first; The Werther mansion, whose windows were still on, suddenly showed bright or dark lights.

Not long after returning to the family mansion, Charlotte, who was staring blankly out the window at the moment, was also disturbed by the frequent footsteps outside the room.

She looked at the door blankly, and then turned her gaze to the lifeless dark "sky" outside the window, as if everything had nothing to do with her anymore.

As for what happened at home—what did it matter to her?

On the window glass, Charlotte's pale but still beautiful face was reflected by the light. It looked extremely haggard, but it also contained some inexplicable strength.

"I don't know what the elementary school boy is doing right now... Are you still studying those magical principles that you can't even understand?" Charlotte said to herself, "He...will still go to that old apartment building Looking for me? If he can't see me...will he be anxious?"

As she spoke, a long-lost playful smile appeared on Charlotte's face, just like the way she teased Maca at school in the past, with an indescribable brilliance.

"Study your magic well, the senior will watch you silently... and watch you grow into a great wizard even stronger than the principal!"
