Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 510: Unexpected visitors
The development outside the castle is continuously advancing along the road in Maca’s memory. In about ten more minutes, the mysterious ancient magic mirror will reappear in Hogwarts. Eh.
This disaster is inevitable—at least for Maca. If the ancient mirror does not appear this time, it means that everything Maca has done is in vain. Futility is not terrible. What's terrible is that the meaning of looking back in time will disappear.
Without that mirror, his Maca would not appear here. This cause-and-effect is an absolute rule to follow. If he violates the rules, he doesn't know what everything will become.
So, he needs to wait, relying on the continuous consumption of magic power to wait for the end of this time cycle, and then he can proceed with his next plan.
To be honest, Maca is very thankful. He was fortunate that he had been cautious enough that he didn't even come to see the situation inside Hogwarts Castle, which gave him a room for recovery.
Thinking of this, he looked down at the young and old lying on the stone steps. These two were purely accidental. Although he felt a little sorry for them, he still chose to use the potion to give them off guard.
It's just that the medicine was a little heavy this time. After all, Slughorn was also a potion master, and even if he had an unexpected advantage, he was still somewhat worried.
Fortunately, maybe they will have some sequelae when they wake up, but at least he can give them an oblivion spell or something. Compared to the fate of saving Hogwarts, it is nothing to make them suffer.
However, just as Maca was about to sink his heart to stabilize the power of the soul's rules, in preparation for the shock that was coming soon, a series of "quack" made his heart stagnate.
At first, the sound only rang in the distance, but in the blink of an eye, it suddenly reached his ear. Immediately afterwards, from the corner of his eye, he quickly caught a glimpse of a gray-green shadow flashing by, and then he felt a slight sinking of his shoulders.
"Quack—Soul! The breath of the rules of the soul! It really is your kid...Quack! Are you...Huh? Huh? Why did your kid grow so much taller?"
There was a sudden noise in my ears, but Maca's face suddenly changed, and a lot of information flashed in his mind for a moment.
The sound is so familiar, it’s hard to forget it only if you hear it once. Obviously, the thing standing on his shoulder at the moment is the bronze little eagle that has been gone for a long time.
Or rather, the key to the secret room left by Rowena Ravenclaw.
"Why are you here?" Maca suppressed the anxiety and asked calmly.
The bronze little eagle that popped up suddenly stood on his shoulder. It was a little bigger than the sparrow in terms of body size, but the meaning it represented was unusual.
It is not only the key to open the Ravenclaw Chamber of Secrets, but also the so-called "candidate guide", as for where it wants to guide Maca...
From the moment Maca got it, the question seemed to have an answer. It's just that the answer is correct or not, but it's not known.
"It's the breath of the rules of the soul! Quack..." The bronze little eagle stood on his shoulders, tilted his little head and looked at him carefully, but continued with a chuckle in his mouth, "That's right. Are you only exposed to the rules of the soul? Maybe you can understand that you, Lord Eagle, I am based on the rules of the soul...Huh?"
The little eagle was still talking non-stop, but suddenly he stopped inexplicably and let out a shocked sound again.
"...time rules? You...what are you doing?" This time, its words were full of surprise and astonishment, "When were you when you were? Oh...what am I? How long have you slept?"
Maca didn't speak, he just frowned slightly, his mind full of chaotic thoughts.
He knew that the Bronze Kitty might have felt the hourglass of the time converter, and the gravel in the hourglass must be related to the rules of time. It's just this kind of thing, he doesn't have the mind to think about it now.
But Maca can stay silent, but the bronze kitty can't change the habit of talking about tuberculosis. Seeing that he was silent, as if he was thinking about something, Kitty suddenly flapped his wings and patted his neck.
"Boy, what are you thinking about? I see you can even try to use the rules of the soul. The last test should have been completed long ago? You...Oh, that's not right... After all, you are now When are you really? You are not who you are at this time..."
"...It didn't take long, that is, a few hours later," Maca finally said, "As for the test last time, some time has passed since now."
When he said this, there was no expression on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Really? Why didn't you come to me right away? Hmm... Forget it! Quack, it's up to you when you come to see me, Rowena didn't say you have to set a certain time..." Bronze Kitty tilted his head, listening to the voice seemed a little cheerful, "Anyway, are you ready for the next test?"
When Maca heard the words, he was about to say something, but he opened his mouth, but as if he realized something, he suddenly squeezed the staff in his hand.
"I think we'd better talk about those things later..." He said solemnly.
The mysterious and obscure wave suddenly appeared from outside the castle before the voice fell. It swept across the surrounding space in the blink of an eye and spread out into the distance.
He knew that the most critical part of this plan was about to begin!
"Huh?"
Bronze Kitty was also taken aback, and the third time today was surprised. But then it quacked for a while, and the sound was accompanied by a certain panic, as if it was anxious to see the sky falling.
"No, right! Ga? How could it? That broken mirror..." It just yelled a few times, hurriedly, "This...what happened? It's messed up...all messed up...Quak …I’ll withdraw the eagle first! Your kid will withstand me! Hogwarts is all up to you…"
Before the words fell, the bronze little eagle disappeared on Maca's shoulder just like when it came.
This little guy came quickly, but he didn't expect to go faster. Even Maca was confused. But he didn't have the time to think so much now, because he still remembered his plan to look back in time this time. If this plan fails, all his efforts will be lost!
"Coming soon!"
Maca had a look on his face, and immediately put aside his chaotic mood, and concentrated on controlling the rule rune representing the soul at the top of the staff.
Sure enough, almost immediately before the next second came, a violent shock passed in an instant. It was as if the entire space had shrunk to a certain point, and the force was surprisingly strong. It's just that that kind of power is only aimed at the soul, and has no impact on other things.
Maca had already experienced this horror beforehand, but now, who is driving the rules of the soul, he obviously has a more obvious reaction than last time.
Only this first shock, he felt that the soul rule rune was on the verge of collapse. It's not that the rule rune doesn't work, it's just that his mastery of the soul rules is not in place.
On the top of his staff, the rune couldn't help looking a little fuzzy, and there was a tendency to loosen up under the shock just now. It was originally outlined by him using magical power to condense into a silk thread, and how effective it can be is entirely related to his understanding of the meaning of the rules.
Like a cooling rune, Maca can outline it to a nearly condensed state, because he has a fairly deep interpretation of the cooling rules of matter. But for the rules of the soul, he was still at a level of a little understanding.
However, by now he doesn't want to give up anymore, and he can't give up either.
Anyway, at least this first shock has been resisted by him. The power of the rules of the soul has been used by him to stabilize the souls of everyone in the castle, and the results are still there!
Before the next shock hit ~IndoMTL.com~ Maca didn't hesitate anymore, but gritted his teeth to control the magic again, and painted the rune on the top of the staff again.
Whether the shock comes faster, or whether he strengthens the soul rune faster, depends on this hand.
"Boom!"
It was not the sound of the soul being shaken out of the body, but the sound of Maca's heartbeat. Just before the second wave of shocks suddenly passed, the soul rune was forcibly stabilized by him.
It's too late!
Although it is barely able to hold it, it is necessary to reinforce the rune again and again to prevent it from collapsing in the shock. But he knew that at least before the magic power was exhausted, he should be able to withstand it.
As long as it can survive, the plan will not fail. And as long as the retrospective time has passed, he can move on to the next step.
So Maca put his left hand into his pocket, quickly took out a small gadget shaped like a glass ball, and slammed it on the steps below his feet.
"Crack!"
The glass ball fell on the stone steps and was smashed to pieces. And in the glass ball that shattered to the ground, a large number of translucent phantoms suddenly appeared, and they hurriedly flew toward the lake on the south side.
Maca looked at everything in front of her, pursing her lips in silence.
There is still the ticking sound of the time converter in his ears. This sound has always been with him since he decided to start looking back in time, but now it seems to be extraordinarily long.
At this moment, Maca is standing on the stone steps, with the staff in his hand motionless, just like his body, which is not tall and strong, but has always been extremely stable.
And around his body, the circle of magic inscriptions like a blue chain still exists, and it turns endlessly when it rotates slightly.
"Click...click...click..."
The ticking sound rang unhurriedly.
