Harry Potter’s Book of Sin
Chapter 500 Return to the Tomb
A genius remembers this site address in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! It has been several days since Maca left Hogwarts.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 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 the five fingers could not be seen, Maca was still sitting on the ground, a thick handwriting was floating firmly in front of him, and he was writing quickly on the pages of the parchment.
Beside him, a group of soft brilliance sinks and floats, floating up and down slightly, providing him with sufficient lighting.
It's just that this stone room is really too big, 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 writing and coughing 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.
Right in front of his current position is a huge black stone stele.The volume of this stele is astonishing, even if the main tomb is wide enough, it still occupies more than half of it.
At this time, most of the stele is still in the dark, so what is Maca looking at?
However, he 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 large number of complicated branches, and every time they passed through some branches, several peculiar symbols would be lit up.Soon, these lines and magic texts were actually surrounding 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 darkness suddenly reacted-on the stone tablet that was originally extremely smooth, purples appeared quietly. Black text.
Maca, sitting on the ground, seemed to be used to all this, and did not show any 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.
Right now, 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.
The vast majority of characters in these characters are actually not uncommon. They are not magical in themselves and seem to be purely combined ideograms.
It's just that these characters that seem to be simplified Chinese paintings look familiar, and what they have to say is actually somewhat similar to the early ancient Egyptian characters.But even people like Maca who have a deep research on ancient characters and symbols do not remember that they have seen them from that ancient book or rubbing text.
Therefore, he must go through a series of interpretations and translations in order to transform the words on the stele into concrete content that he can understand.
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 magic 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 that contain magic have a natural advantage in conveying meaning, because they allow wizards to intuitively feel their own meaning.and so,
Undoubtedly, this kind of writing is actually a peculiar description system centered on regular runes, plus ordinary hieroglyphs as an auxiliary interpretation.
If he could find more inscriptions like this, it might in turn help him speed up the process of parsing 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 original text.
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 mistakes or omissions, Maca stopped the transmission of magic power, and returned his sight 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 magic 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, what is expressed around this regular rune is exactly what the rune represents.
What Maca is currently 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.
Last time, when 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 everything scattered around him.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 she was too busy, she never let her eat one less meal.
But after all, this Helen has always had no appetite, and he has to force him to even eat.
"Hey, I'm eating!" Maca said without looking up while taking out the dry food and water. "If you don't eat, I'm going to be stubborn again?"
Helen finally got a reaction when she heard the word "hard stuff".
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, and started to nibbles.
In fact, just two days before arriving here, she had been silently refusing to eat.Maca, who didn't have much effort, after a few persuasion to no avail, simply used magic to mix the bread and water, and then poured it 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 was surprisingly strong, stronger than any wizard she had ever seen.
At least in the past mission experience, she still thinks that she can be said to be the natural enemy of wizards, and has 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 need to be so vigilant all the time." After Maca put the food on the blanket, she also sat next to him and grabbed a piece of bread, bite it vaguely, "Could it be that you are nothing What do you want 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 end, and she doesn't want to say anything at all now.
But Maca didn't care, what he had to say, he had been alone for hundreds of days before, talking to himself or something, it was just habitual.Others may find it embarrassing to be cold, but he doesn't feel it anymore.
"Okay! If I said, what you are going to do, I just temporarily stopped it..." He looked at Helen and said, "Can you give a different reaction?"
Just as he finished speaking, Helen's little hand holding the bread suddenly tightened, and the soft bread was deformed.She paused and looked towards Maca, with a trace of doubt in her eyes.
"...What do you mean?"
Probably because she hadn't spoken for several days, her original pure and smooth 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, and it was obvious that he was more puzzled and suspicious of Maca's words.
