Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 509: Inside and outside the castle

The stairs in Hogwarts Castle are very delicately designed. Each stairway will send movement at a specific point in time, or join or separate, leading the people upstairs to different floors and locations.

Although this does cause some trouble sometimes, if you are not familiar enough, you may actually get lost because of these constantly moving stairs. But if you have enough knowledge about these stone steps that strictly follow the laws of movement, it will actually allow everyone to go to the floor and direction you want to reach in a short time.

It's just that it's just such a set of interesting stone steps that caused Maca a little trouble.

Because the stairs are designed to move, in order for them to have enough space to change directions and positions, this set of stairs that can reach the top of the main fort is basically suspended. Because of this, if you stand below and look up, you can actually easily see the people on the stairs.

At this moment, Maca was standing on a stone step about three floors, with a faint light glowing from the staff in his hand. And just at the top of his staff, a rune that looked vaguely vague was floating on its own, constantly emitting a kind of magical fluctuations that were invisible to the naked eye.

This kind of magical power fluctuations are not the same as ordinary spells, as if there is a spirit integrated into it, with a soft "coolness".

Yes, it's the refreshing feeling that many people in the castle have just felt like a spring. Although the effect of that kind of fluctuation is still unknown, it is already a fact that it can calm the tension and anxiety of everyone in this range.

He still knew about Draco's discovery of himself. Because he had seen Draco from the beginning, and even Slughorn, who ran over afterwards, also saw him.

To be honest, this is not a good sign, especially when everyone knows that there is "another" him out there.

However, as far as the situation is concerned, he can't make a better response.

Just a few days ago, after a lot of research and experience, he finally figured out the preliminary meaning of the rule rune with the help of those ancient words. And his ultimate goal of looking back in time to come here this time was the new rune of rules.

Just as the magical theory of spirit and will is the path that Dumbledore will take, for Maca, matter and rules may be his magical path.

Any rule rune can't be studied easily. So he has only specialized in one cooling rule so far, but other rule runes have always been simple.

Only this time, in order to understand the dilemma of opening a dead end, he finally reached out to the second rule.

In the past, he once did research in front of the Bewitching Monument. At that time, he had discovered traces of the rules of the soul from the evolution of the Black Dead.

And just a few days ago, part of the secret of the Bewitching Monument was finally revealed by him gently. Although there are still many hidden secrets that are hard to tell, in any case, the interpretation of the rules that appeared in the center of the monument has brought him a lot of help.

Yes, he holds the scroll of truth in his Maca's hand, and the soul rule rune is naturally also listed among them. What is difficult for others to obtain, he has from the beginning. So what he wants is not runes, but empirical methods of analyzing and understanding rules.

The soul rule is mostly a second-level rule, which is far more difficult to analyze than the cooling rule mastered by Maca. He didn't expect to be able to figure it out in such a short time. In fact, since this time back in time, he planned to use another method to deal with that mysterious ancient magic mirror.

But I never thought that the Monument of Bewilderment, which had always only caused him trouble, gave him a big gift in this way, which gave him the opportunity to implement it more securely and gain more Backup plan.

However, no matter how safe a plan is, accidents will inevitably occur.

In the final analysis, even if he has sufficient psychological preparation in advance, knowing the difficulty of understanding the soul's rules is definitely a huge obstacle. But after he really started to study, he realized that this thing was beyond his imagination. Even if he has a lot of soul magic theories as the foundation, and the inscription of the Bewitching Monument to assist him, the result is still a little bit close.

To put it simply, he is barely able to use it now, but because his understanding is still insufficient, not only does it require other magic texts as assistance, but it is not enough to cover the entire Hogwarts Castle.

In order to stabilize the soul and not to be too weak, but also to take care of everyone in the basement, he must stay in his current position and move elsewhere even if one or two steps do not work.

If the position is higher, his casting range will not be enough; but if the position is lower... you know, the other one is standing outside!

But if you do this, you will inevitably be seen by others-for example, Draco who has been sticking at the top of the stairs, or the bald old man who looked up with Draco's eyes. Lagerhorn.

When he noticed that the old man was also looking towards him, Maca subconsciously reached out and pulled the hood of his cloak to better cover up his figure and appearance. But he himself also knew that the long-handled staff in his hand was enough to be recognized.

"I had brought that Helen Schoen here...at least it could help me attract some attention." He frowned secretly.

At the moment, he wants to maintain the power of the unfamiliar soul rules, and this alone makes him feel deeply struggling. Originally, his magic power had always been felt not enough, but this time when he looked back for a long time, some of the extra magic power could not be used. Don't talk about the phantom spell now, even the most basic spell will bring him a lot of burden.

And now, being seen by those two guys from a distance, it's a bit terrible.

Is it dangerous? No, this cannot be said to be dangerous for the time being. After all, being discovered by an acquaintance during time travel may not necessarily touch the rules of time. What he was worried about was actually being aware of his existence by himself at this point in time.

If the past self discovers the future self, there will be a great chance that a paradox will arise. What happens when the paradox appears? He didn't know, and didn't want to know at all.

So, it must not be dangerous at the moment, but if he doesn't do anything, the danger will come soon.

After thinking about it for a moment, Maca stopped reaching for the Immortal Potion, and then simply tore off his hood, beckoning to the two guys below.

……

"McLean...do you know? Albus once told me that he admires you very much. He even thinks that you are a real wizard."

Outside the Hogwarts Castle, by the frozen lake, Greenward was facing the Maca at the time, staring blankly at the ice coffin in front of him. And in the crystal clear ice coffin, the old man who was still gone was gently covered by a thin purple velvet blanket, but his old face was still lifelike.

Greenward was looking at him, looking at this best friend of his once, and feeling deeply moved for a while.

Dumbledore and him have always been friends and opponents. They all have magical talents that scorn the world, and they all have ambitions that ordinary people can't touch.

It’s just that everyone’s wisdom is different, no matter how like-minded they are, they will still have differences over time. The dispute that year led to the death of Dumbledore’s sister and the rupture of two close friends.

And now, when Greenward looks at Dumbledore in the ice coffin and recalls the two people talking about ancient and modern magic and the whole world together, his old heart is rare to give birth to a trace of excitement. .

It was the excitement that he would soon be able to meet his old friends, the excitement that he was determined to be able to join hands with Dumbledore again to touch the truth in the world.

While thinking, Greenward had a casual conversation with Maca behind him. He could feel the faint hostility in Maca's words~IndoMTL.com~ Obviously he didn't welcome his arrival very much.

"Heh...I know, you must be troubled by some of my actions." At this moment, Greenward was very relaxed, smiled slightly, and said softly, "Don't care, I can tell you directly-I From beginning to end, I just wanted to meet Albus again."

My old friend and opponent has always been optimistic about this boy named Maca McLean, but he doesn't know what is good about it. Now that he has left the Newmontgard Tower, he has personally felt the talent of this young man, and finally realized that Dumbledore's praise is not excessive.

And this also confirmed his current view of Greenward.

Greenward never felt that his past views were completely wrong. He only understood a truth through Dumbledore’s victory—it was true that he had valued powerful wizards in the past. It was just that he set the standard. It's too low.

Except for geniuses like himself and Dumbledore, there is no need for other wizards to care, let alone Muggles and magical animals. He used to be dragged down by those stupid desires because his vision was not high enough, and he tried to use power to change the world.

Thinking about it now, it's like an immature child playing foolishly.

"Gellert Greenward! Didn't we say it? Why don't we start doing it?"

The voice of Voldemort's questioning came from the other side of the ice coffin, cold and fierce, but how can Greenward now not hear the anxiousness mixed in it?

This is like the self back then, but it's not even as good as the self back then. The ability of a wizard is not limited to battle and life and death, wisdom is the foundation of the wizard's achievements.

Greenward moved slightly, and an inexplicable smile appeared on Weimu's face.
