Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

"Is there any other defensive magic on this high tower?" Maca couldn't help thinking.

But obviously, the next moment he found out that he had guessed wrong.

When the group of fire dragons approached the tower again, they started to dive head to head.Hundreds of slender red light beams suddenly appeared under the tower. They looked quite dense, and they lased neatly at the fire dragons in mid-air in the form of a parabola, drawing red arcs in the air. line.

For a while, the fire dragons began to evade in a panic, but the number of magical beams was too much, and the density was also unusual, and they couldn't be avoided at all.The dozen or so fire dragons fell one by one like dumplings, and smashed into the woods on the island.

Not long after, they flew up again, glanced at the red halo around the tower again, and left dingy.

Maca hurriedly stuck her head out and looked down the tower, and immediately saw the little figures on the ground.

"Little elves?" Maca was really taken aback this time. "It's hard to imagine how grand the scenes of the ancient wizards were when they conquered these little elves... I remember it was mentioned in some ancient books that there were a lot of little elves at that time! "

For those blessed intelligent magical creatures, using talents is almost as simple as eating.It is no wonder that every war initiated by those intelligent magical creatures will cause a great upheaval in the magical world.

"Not to mention the current state of the house elves. The ancient wizards were able to completely conquer this creature. That kind of magical power is really desirable! Compared to these curses that tend to be more lifelike today, the gap is really ..."

Maca looked at the cheering elves below, but a desire for powerful ancient magic rose in his heart.

He didn't do anything else, he just wanted to see with his own eyes what the mystery of those ancient magics was - this was completely the mentality of a theoretical researcher.

It has to be said that after Maca obtained the scroll of truth, his desire to explore magic theory is rapidly rising.Although he was originally interested in magic, this growing desire was faintly abnormal.

However, this abnormality is not obvious, even with Maca's alertness, it is not noticed at all.

After the little elves repelled the incoming fire dragon, they crackled and apparated, and they all left.Maca looked back, looked at the cup of black tea on the table, thought about it, and took a sip.

The tea is warm and the taste is quite good. Unfortunately, he doesn't have much research on black tea. Quan is used to quench his thirst, and he drank it in a short while.

"Would you like to taste it? It tastes good." Maca turned around and looked at Wei Li, who was still standing by the window.

After resting for a while, Maca saw that the group of elves did not intend to come back, so he decided to continue searching other rooms.

But, otherwise Muggle wizards always complain that most of the wizard's buildings are not reasonable!

There are surprisingly many rooms on the third floor, and most of them are used as laboratories.Apart from a large number of bottles and cans, there is almost nothing useful.Even the medicine bottles on the closet are mostly empty, but they are neatly arranged there.

But some of the rooms were surprisingly empty, it seemed that magic such as the Unmarked Stretching Curse had been cast in them, and there was nothing in the room, it looked empty and a little strange.

But in the entire third floor, there is a room that is particularly distinctive.

This seems to be just a very ordinary small restaurant, but as soon as Maca entered it, he immediately discovered the special feature-it was a room where a strange spell was cast.

Although he and Willie can walk around at will, nothing can be touched by them.Reaching out the hand, it will only pass through the place that should be the entity, as if everything here is just an illusion.

"It seems to be here," Maca thought to himself, "but, what is the secret hidden here?"

He and Willie walked around here for two laps, but they didn't get any results.Even if he sees something valuable, what's the use if he can't touch it?

"what?"

Suddenly, Maca felt something was wrong.

The surrounding space... No, the surrounding objects are changing!Whether it's the dining table, chairs, the surrounding closet cabinets, or even the blank portraits hanging on the wall, they are gradually becoming distorted.The distortion is not large, but everything has been slightly deformed.

Seeing this abnormality, Maca couldn't help frowning.When he was about to take out his magic wand and try it out, the surroundings changed again!

The movement this time is not small.

I saw all around, with Maca and Vili as the center, a large number of text symbols appeared suddenly!They appeared out of nowhere in the space of this restaurant, exuding a faint golden fluorescence, and they kept slowly rotating around them.

If you put aside the current situation, this scene looks extremely beautiful.

What surprised Maca was that, unlike the rule runes on the scroll of truth, he had basically seen those symbols.

Just before, in order to analyze the regular runes on the scroll of truth, he had almost searched through various ancient dictionary books.Some are magic texts widely circulated in the magic world, and some are non-magic texts obtained from archeology in the Muggle world.

Now, he can even tell from the surrounding characters, which are the hieroglyphs from ancient Egypt, and which are the cuneiform writing of Sumer...

And the closest to him is undoubtedly the 22 Phoenician characters floating in front of him.

They are a kind of symbolic writing recorded in the Muggle world, and according to legend they are the origin of the European alphabet.According to research by Muggle archaeologists, they were created by Phoenician merchants in 1000 BC.

"What does this mean?" Maca looked around, no idea for a moment.

But even if he had no clue, he gradually understood that this might be another puzzle left by Rowena.Bronze Kitty once said that this was for him to come and fetch something, and the breakthrough was clearly in sight.

As time passed, Maca changed from standing to sitting, with a notebook and quill in his hand.As if fascinated, he writes and draws on paper. Obviously, he has entered a state of research.

Wei Li on one side seemed very calm.

Although she was also attracted by those wonderful symbols for a while, she soon turned her attention to Maca.She sat quietly on the floor beside her, looking at Maca in a daze.

No one knows what she is thinking, maybe she is thinking nothing, just sitting in a daze.

In this dreamlike space, time seems to have no meaning for existence.For a time, it was surprisingly quiet here, only the rustling of Maca's writing from time to time proved that there are still living people here.

The sky outside gradually darkened, and the whole afternoon passed quietly.In the gradually dimming room, there were gradually only many symbols still drifting slowly in mid-air, exuding a faint brilliance.

Soon, Maca stopped his hand movements. He took out a bottle of condensed sand and shook it. A soft white light burst out of the bottle, illuminating the whole room like daylight.

This is an improved version of the kind of shimmer sand he used in Da Ren Liu Didao. Although it is still only a slightly prepared material, its brightness and durability have been greatly increased.It’s just that the additional materials for this thing are a bit expensive, so stingy like Maca but don’t want to use it more, after all, the number of uses is limited.

He set aside the bottle with condensed sand, then turned around and took some food out of the suitcase and handed it to Willie next to him.

"Here, are you hungry?" Maca smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I can easily forget the time when I start the research. If you are sleepy, I have a sleeping bag here."

Wei Li took the food and looked at it. They were some cakes bought in Italy, which looked very delicate.She peeled the package without saying a word, and took a small bite.

Seeing that she didn't seem to want to speak, Maca took out the sleeping bag first and laid it flat on the floor for her.

After eating the cake in her hand, Wei Li shook her head slightly to reject the second one that Maca handed over, and then moved her butt and sat on the sleeping bag, seemingly ready to continue in a daze.

"Don't you do something else?" Maca asked. "You can continue to read the medicinal notes I gave you."

Wei Li nodded slightly, but did not move.

"What's wrong?" Maca curiously asked.

"Mom said that I need to rest after the meal." Wei Li said calmly.

Maca glanced at her with subtle expressions, and sighed that she was worrying.

He put the cake in his hand into his mouth in twos or twos, then clapped his hands, and then returned his attention to his notebook again.

As the research continued to deepen, he finally found a clue in the order of the surrounding symbols.He discovered that the 22 Phoenician characters closest to him had various connections with other ancient characters around them.But if it is further examined, the connection becomes paradoxical.

"According to Muggle textual research, Phoenician characters were originally derived from hieroglyphs and cuneiform writing. It is a matter of course that there are connections. But..."

"Could it be that these 22 Phoenician characters are not the original version?" Maca frowned, and the gear called thinking was spinning rapidly in his mind, "Since this is Roina as the scroll of truth The puzzle left by the holder, that is to say..."

Macka paused, then he patted his head as if suddenly realized, and raised the quill again.

He contrasted the various characters in front of him, began to follow his own understanding, and began to try to compare and restore the 22 Phoenician characters in front of him.
