The stairs in Hogwarts castle are well designed. Each stair will send movement, or joint or separate, at a specific point in time, leading people upstairs to different floors and locations.
Although sometimes this does bring some trouble, if you are not familiar with it, you may get lost because of these moving stairs. But if you know enough about these stone steps that strictly abide by the moving law, it will actually let you go to the floor and direction you want to reach in a very short time.
However, it was such a set of interesting stone stairs that brought some trouble to Maka.
Because the design of stairs is to move, in order to make them have enough space to change direction and position, this group of stairs that can reach the top floor of the main castle are basically suspended. Because of this, if you stand below and look up, you can easily see the people on the stairs.
At the moment, Maka was standing on a stone step on about three floors, and the magic wand in her hand flashed a faint light. At the top of his staff, a vaguely vague Rune was floating, constantly emitting a magic wave invisible to the naked eye.
This kind of magic fluctuation is different from ordinary magic spells, as if a spirit was integrated into it, with a soft "coolness".
Yes, it's the cool feeling that many people in the castle felt just now. Although the effect of that fluctuation is unknown, it is a fact that it can calm the tension and anxiety of everyone in this range.
He knew about Draco's discovery. Because he had seen Draco from the beginning, even Slughorn, who ran past later.
To be honest, this does not bode well, especially when everyone knows that there is another him outside.
However, in the current situation, he can't respond better.
Just a few days ago, after some research and experience, he finally understood the preliminary meaning of the regular Rune with the help of those ancient characters. The ultimate goal of his backtracking time to come here is the new rule rune.
Just as the magic theory of spirit and will is Dumbledore's path, for Marca, matter and rules may be his magic path.
But any regular rune is not easy to study. So far, he has only specialized in one cooling rule, but he has always tasted other rule runes.
Only this time, in order to understand the dilemma of opening and closing, he finally reached for the second rule.
In the past, he once did research in front of the bewitching monument. At that time, he had found traces of soul rules in the evolution of black death.
Just a few days ago, he finally revealed some secrets of the bewitching monument. Although there are still many secrets that are difficult to tell, in any case, the interpretation of the rules that appear in the center of the giant monument has brought him great help.
Yes, tamaka holds the scroll of truth, and the soul rule runes are naturally listed in it. What is difficult for others to get, he has it from the beginning. So what he wants is not runes, but empirical methods to analyze and understand rules.
The soul rule is mostly a secondary rule, which is far more difficult to analyze than the cooling rule mastered by Maka. He didn't expect to understand it in such a short time. In fact, before this time, he planned to use another method to deal with the mysterious ancient magic mirror.
But I never thought that the bewitching monument, which would only bring him trouble, gave him a big gift in this way, which gave him the opportunity to implement this more secure and fruitful standby plan.
However, no matter how sound the plan is, accidents are inevitable.
In the final analysis, even if he had sufficient psychological preparation in advance, knowing the difficulty of understanding the soul rules is definitely a huge obstacle. But after he really began to study, he realized that this thing was beyond his imagination. Even if he has many soul magic theories as the basis, and the inscriptions of the bewitching monument help, the result is still a little meaningless.
In short, he is barely able to use it now, but because his understanding is still insufficient, he not only needs other magic scripts as an aid, but also does not cover the whole Hogwarts castle.
In order not to weaken the effect of stabilizing the soul, but also to take into account everyone in the basement, he must stay in his current position and move elsewhere, not even a step or two.
If the position is higher, his casting range will not be enough; But if the position is lower... You know, the other self is standing outside!
But in this way, it will be seen by others - for example, Draco, who has been pestering at the entrance of the stairs, or the bald old man Slughorn, who looked up with Draco's eyes.
When she found that the old man was also looking at her, Maka subconsciously reached out and pulled the hood on her cloak to better cover up her body and appearance. But he also knew that the long handled staff in his hand was enough for people to recognize.
"I knew I'd bring Helen Shane... At least it could help me attract my attention," he frowned.
At present, he has to maintain the power of the still unfamiliar soul rules, which alone makes him feel hard. Originally, his magic was not enough. This long time back, some additional magic could not be used. Not to mention the magic body spell now, even using the most basic magic spell will bring him a great burden.
Now, being seen by those two guys from a distance, it's a bit deadly.
Is it dangerous? No, it can't be said to be dangerous for the time being. After all, if you are found by acquaintances in time and space travel, you may not touch the rules of time. What he is worried about is that he knows his existence by himself at this time point.
If the past self finds the future self, there will be a great chance to cause a paradox. What happens when there is a paradox? He doesn't know and doesn't want to know at all.
Therefore, it must not be dangerous at the moment, but if he doesn't do anything, he may be close to the danger.
After a little thought, Maka stopped the action of extending to Xianyin potion, then simply pulled off her hood and waved to the two guys below.
……
"McLean... You know what? Albus once told me that he appreciated you very much. He even thought you were a real wizard."
Outside the Hogwarts castle, on the frozen lake, greenward was staring at the ice coffin with his back to Maka at that time. In the crystal clear ice coffin, the old man who still left was gently covered by a thin purple velvet blanket, but his old face was still lifelike.
Greenward was looking at him, looking at this once close friend, filled with emotion for a moment.
Dumbledore and he have always been friends and opponents. They all have the magic talent to look up to the world, and they all have ambitions that ordinary people dare not touch.
But everyone's wisdom is different. Even if they share the same interests, they will have differences over time. The dispute that year led to the death of Dumbledore's sister and the break between the two close friends.
Now, when greenward looked at Dumbledore in the ice coffin and recalled that they talked 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 his old friends, and the excitement that he was determined to join hands with Dumbledore again to touch the truth of the world.
Greenward thought as he chatted casually with Marca behind him. He could feel some hostility in Maka's words. Obviously, he didn't welcome his arrival very much.
"Oh... I know, you must be troubled by some of my behavior." greenward relaxed, smiled and whispered, "don't worry, I can tell you directly - I just want to see albus again from beginning to end."
His old friend and opponent has always been optimistic about this young man named Marca McLean, but he doesn't know what's good. Now that he has left the newmond GAD tower, he has personally felt the extraordinary talent of the young man, and finally realized that Dumbledore's praise is not excessive.
This, however, further confirms his greenward's current view.
Greenward never felt that his past view was completely wrong. He just understood a truth through Dumbledore's victory - it was no problem that he valued powerful wizards in the past, but he set the standard too low.
Except for geniuses like himself and Dumbledore, there is no need for other wizards to care, let alone Muggles and magical animals. In the past, because his vision was not high enough, he was dragged down by those stupid desires in a vain attempt to change the world with power.
Now think about it, it's just like an immature child fooling around.
"Garrett greenward! Didn't we agree? Why don't we start yet?"
Voldemort's questioning voice came from the opposite side of the ice coffin. It was cold and fierce, but now greenward couldn't hear the anxiety mixed in it?
It's like being who you were, but you're not even as good as who you were. The ability of a wizard is not limited to fighting and life and death. Wisdom is the foundation of a wizard's achievements.
Greenward moved slightly, and an inexplicable smile appeared on his twilight face.
