Harry Potter’s Book of Sin
Chapter 509: Inside and Outside the Castle
The stairs in Hogwarts Castle are very delicately designed. Each staircase will send movement at a specific point in time, or join or separate, leading the people upstairs to different floors and locations.
Although sometimes this does cause some trouble for people, if they are not familiar enough, they may actually get lost because of these constantly moving stairs.But if you have enough knowledge about these stone steps that strictly follow the rules of movement, it will actually let everyone go to the floor and direction you want to reach in a short time.
However, it is 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 direction and position, the 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 steps about three floors, and the staff in his hand glowed with a faint light.And just at the top of his staff, a rune that seemed vaguely vague was sinking and floating, 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, that's the kind of 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 everyone's tension and anxiety in this area.
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, in terms of the current situation, he could not make a better response.
Just a few days ago, after a lot of research and experience, he finally figured out the initial meaning of the rule rune with the help of those ancient words.And his ultimate goal of coming back 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.
But any regular 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 predicament of the 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 soul rules from the evolution of the Black Death.
And just a few days ago, part of the secret of the Bewitching Monument was finally revealed by him.Although there are still many hidden secrets that are difficult to tell, no matter what, the interpretation of the rules that appeared in the center of the monument has brought him a lot of help.
That's right, his Maca holds the scroll of truth, 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 did not 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 never thought that the Monument of Bewilderment, which had always caused him trouble, gave him a big gift in this way, which gave him the opportunity to implement this more secure and rewarding backup plan. .
However, no matter how secure the plan is, accidents cannot be avoided.
After all, even if he had sufficient psychological preparation in advance,
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 in this way, people will inevitably be seen by others-for example, Draco who has been sticking at the top of the stairs, or the bald old man Slugho who looked up with Draco's sight Yep.
When he noticed that the old man was also looking towards him, Maca subconsciously reached out and pulled the hood on his cloak to better cover up his figure and appearance.But he himself knew that the long-handled staff alone in his hand was enough to be recognized.
"I brought that Helen Schoen here...at least it can help me attract attention." He frowned secretly.
Right now he wants to maintain the power of the unfamiliar soul rules, and this alone makes him feel deeply struggling.Originally, his magic power has always been felt not enough, but this long time back, there is a part of the extra magic power that cannot be used.Don't talk about the phantom spell now, even using the most basic spell will bring him a lot of burden.
And now, being seen by those two guys from a distance, this is 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 at this point in time.
If the self in the past discovers the self in the future, there will be a great chance of triggering a paradox.What happens when the paradox appears?He didn't know, and didn't want to know at all.
Therefore, 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 while, Maca stopped reaching for the Immortal Yin Potion, and then simply pulled off his hood and waved at the two guys below.
...
"McLean...do you know? Albus once told me that he admires you. He even thinks that you are a real wizard."
Outside the Hogwarts Castle, beside 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 lightly covered by a purple velvet blanket, but his old face was still lifelike.
Greenward was looking at him, looking at this best friend of his once, with emotion in his heart for a while.
Dumbledore and him have always been friends and opponents.They all had magical talents that dazzled the world, and they all had ambitions that ordinary people would not dare to touch.
It's just that everyone's wisdom is different, and even if they are like-minded, 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 looked at Dumbledore in the ice coffin, and recalled the time when the two were talking about ancient and modern magic and the whole world together, his old heart was rarely excited.
It was the excitement that he was about to meet old friends, the excitement that he was sure 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 a faint hostility in Maca's words, and he obviously didn't welcome his arrival.
"Heh... I know, you must be troubled by some of my behaviors." At this moment, Greenward was very relaxed, smiled slightly, and said softly, "Don't care, I can tell you directly-I am from beginning to end. , Just want to meet Albus again."
His old friend and opponent has always been optimistic about this boy named Maca McLean, but he doesn't know what is so good about him.Now that he had left the Tower of Newmontgard, he had personally felt the talent of this young man, and finally realized that Dumbledore's praise was not excessive.
But 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-he used to value powerful wizards, it is indeed okay, but he set the standard too low That's it.
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 was like an immature child playing foolishly.
"Gellert Greenward! Didn't we say yes? Why don't we start doing it yet?"
Voldemort's questioning sound came from the opposite 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 that year, but it is not even as good as the self that year.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.
