Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 500: Return to the grave
A genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (Top Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! It has been several days since Maca left Hogwarts. Originally, no one knew about his journey this time. Where did he go in the past few days? What did you do? No one knows.
But in fact, these days, he has always stayed in the same place and never left.
This place is called the tomb of the despicable Helbo.
In the deepest part of the underground palace where you can't see your fingers, Maca is still sitting on the ground, a thick note is floating firmly in front of him, and he is writing quickly on the pages of the parchment.
Beside him, a group of soft radiance floated up and down slightly, providing him with plenty of illumination.
It's just that this stone room is so big that even this light ball can't completely illuminate it, but most of the rest of the space is still submerged in endless darkness.
Suddenly, Maca's right hand stopped the rush of writing and coughed slightly. The sound was not loud, but the underground palace was so quiet and empty that his coughing sounded so far in an instant.
He shook his head slightly, then raised his eyes and looked forward.
Just in front of his current position is a huge black stone stele. The volume of this stele is astonishingly large, even if the main tomb is wide enough, it stunned that it occupies more than half of it.
At this time, most of the stele is still in darkness, so what is Maca looking at?
I saw him picking up the staff beside him and gently pressing the tip against a certain point on the ground. Suddenly, a magical power flowed from the wand to the top, and it was continuously sent out.
Suddenly, several faint blue light spots lighted up silently, and quickly flowed into a line on the ground, quickly spreading away at the spot touched by the staff.
On the way, the lines glowing with blue fluorescence appeared a lot of complicated branches, and every time they passed through some branches, several peculiar symbols would light up. Soon, these lines and magic texts actually surrounded the black stone stele, forming a large rune pattern that seemed to have no rules at all.
When the formation that took up most of the open space was all lit up, the stone tablet that was not in the dark suddenly reacted--it quietly appeared on the original stone tablet that was extremely clean and clean. One by one purple and black text.
Maca, sitting on the ground, seemed to be accustomed to all this, and did not show the slightest expression of surprise. This is a matter of course...because he had already seen this scene several times after completing the formation two days ago.
At the moment, as the words on the stele appeared, Maca immediately compared them with the content in his own handwritten notes. At present, the magic power he can use is very limited, and the time that can be used to activate the rune formation is not long, and every time he has to hurry up.
Most of the characters in these characters are actually not uncommon. They don’t have magical powers themselves, they seem to be just a combination of ideograms.
It's just that these characters that seem to be simplified Chinese paintings look familiar. If you have to say them, they are actually somewhat similar to early ancient Egyptian characters. But even a person like Maca who has a deep research on ancient characters and symbols does not remember that he has seen them in that ancient book or rubbing text.
Therefore, he has to go through a series of interpretations and translations in order to transform the words on the stele into concrete content that can be understood by him.
In fact, this kind of work of parsing ancient characters is the most time-consuming and energy-consuming. Whether in the Muggle world or the magical world, those scholars often spend their entire lives on an unsolved text. .
Fortunately, among the text symbols that appeared on this black stone tablet, there is still a small part of real regular runes.
The words containing magical power have a natural advantage in conveying meaning, because they can make wizards intuitively feel their own meaning. Therefore, even if Maca's understanding of the rules and runes is very superficial, this has brought great convenience to his analysis and translation work.
There is no doubt that this kind of text is actually a peculiar description system centered on regular runes, plus ordinary pictographs as an auxiliary interpretation.
If he can find more inscriptions like this, it may in turn help him speed up the process of parsing the rule runes.
At this moment, it was the last time he activated this rune formation. All he had to do was to compare the original text again to check if there was any deviation in the text he originally copied.
As for the content of these words...
"...The following half of the text should be some kind of ritual in ancient times?"
After comparing the original text and finding that there were no errors or omissions, Maca stopped the transmission of magic power and returned his gaze to the pages of the notes.
In the inscription that appeared, some objects were very straightforwardly depicted. They were a long sword, a mirror, a dagger, a cup, and a box.
For the latter two, Maca has no clue for the time being, but the first three have forced him to have a series of associations.
Of course, his purpose this time is not these dangerous and weird rituals or magical props, but one of the rule runes revealed in these inscriptions.
This regular rune is located in the center of the stele, which is larger than other text symbols. If the other content is to show an ancient ritual that is not very clear, then what is expressed around this regular rune is exactly what the rune represents.
At the moment, what Maca is translating is the content of this inscription, and part of the content in this inscription is translating a regular rune. Although this was the purpose of Maca's trip, he did not expect that the result was expressed in this form.
The last time he was only experimenting with mice, he inadvertently saw the fleeting moment of this rule rune. He thought that this time he was definitely going to smash the rune for a while!
After reading the contents carefully again, Maca closed the note and tidied up all the scattered things around. Immediately afterwards, he walked directly to the side of the stone room.
"Miss Schoen, it's time to eat."
In a corner of the stone room of the underground palace, Helen was leaning against the rough wall with her eyes closed, but she looked rather haggard.
Seriously, Maca didn't abuse her. Not to mention abuse, even three meals a day, even if Maca herself canceled eating because of being too busy, she never let her eat one less meal.
In the end, Helen has always had no appetite, and he has to force him to even eat.
"Hey, it's time to eat!" Maca said without looking up while taking out the dry food and water. "If you don't eat, I'm going to jam again?"
As soon as he heard the word "hugged", Helen finally reacted.
She pursed her mouth lightly, then opened her eyes and sat up straight, and silently reached out and picked up a piece of bread. Although there was a jar of delicious marmalade next to it, she seemed to have not seen it at all, so she ate it on her own.
In fact, just two days before arriving here, she had been silently refusing to eat. Maca, who didn't have much effort, after several persuasion to no avail, simply used magic to mix the bread and water together, and then poured it all into her throat.
Although it was basically like a sip of water under the effect of magic, the slimy taste made Helen retching for most of the day.
After that, she finally gave up her hunger strike. Obviously, Maca didn't want her to die, and Maca didn't let her die, she felt that she probably couldn't die.
This young wizard is amazingly strong, stronger than any wizard she has ever seen.
At least in the past mission experience, she also thinks that she can be said to be the natural enemy of wizards, and has a very strong resistance to most spells. But in Maca's hands, she was captured without being able to resist a few times.
"Miss Schoen, in fact, you don’t have to be so vigilant~ IndoMTL.com~ After Maca put the food on the blanket, she sat next to it, grabbed a piece of bread, and took a vague bite. , "Don't you have anything to say? "
Helen naturally heard what Maca said, but she didn't want to respond at all. For her, if the task is not completed, it is doomed to the final outcome, and she doesn't want to say anything at all now.
But Maca didn't care. If he had to say something, he had been alone for hundreds of days before, and talking to himself or something was just a thing of habit. Others may feel embarrassed in the cold, but he has no feeling at all.
"Okay! If I said, what you are going to do, I just temporarily stopped it..." He looked at Helen and said, "Can you react differently?"
Just as he finished speaking, Helen's little hand holding the bread suddenly tightened, and the soft bread was deformed. She paused and looked at Maca's side, with a trace of doubt in her eyes.
"What does... mean?"
Probably because she hadn't spoken for a few days, her originally clear voice became a little hoarse.
"Isn't your task to sneak into Hogwarts and break the Mirror of Eris?" Maca smiled casually and said indifferently, "Although I don't understand why you are so persistent, in fact, You still have a chance to complete your task. All I want is to make it come later."
"Really?" Helen asked hesitantly.
"Of course, do I have to lie to you? What's the point?" Maca said, swallowing the food in his mouth, and said very simply, "Otherwise, I will let you break it now, how about it?"
When Maca uttered these words, Helen's expression changed several times, apparently because of more confusion and suspicion about Maca's words.
