"... so, is that so?"
When Luna, Hermione and others are about to perform a "inevitable encounter" in the literati quill shop, Maka is sitting next to the fireplace in the office, having a supplementary conversation with Ernst.
At this moment, a familiar blue walking stick is rotating in Maka's hand. Maka is also secretly amazed by some obscure and powerful magic wave.
Just now, through Ernst's narration, Maka has roughly learned that Salazar Slytherin did leave a so-called "backhand".
According to the actual situation mentioned by Ernst, it is speculated that the snake monster cultivated by salacha is obviously a key to solve Haier Bo.
Another key to solving Haier Bo is the snake stick that Maka is playing with in her hand.
"With the instant death effect of basilisk venom on the soul, and with the help of the secret connection between soul fragments beyond space, a 'special toxin' can be formed to specifically restrain soul vessels..."
"Well, it's kind of like some kind of 'plague' on the soul level?"
It is conceivable that when the growth of the Basilisk takes a lot of time, Salazar Slytherin came up with an almost perfect solution, but he can't implement it by himself.
After all, he didn't make any Horcruxes for longevity, and he never wanted to do that.
However, in those days, it could be said that it was a foolproof means, but it could not resist the changes brought about by time. Who could have expected that the snake monster specially cultivated by salacha had been disassembled into parts by someone as early as in the secret room?
"Oh, is it my fault?"
Thinking of this, Maka couldn't help rolling her eyes.
"The snake monster has long been dead... Although the venom was collected at that time, the toxin that lost its magic activity is just a can of powerful biological toxin. The only thing left is the soul stored in this snake stick spreading magic?"
After a while of thinking, Maka suddenly raised her head and looked at Ernst sitting opposite with a tea cup in his hand.
"Remember what the spell Salazar asked you to recite along with?"
Ernst shook his head when he heard the speech.
"Well, at that time, I patronized and ran away, and I didn't even have time to hear it..." he thought as he said. Finally, he was a little sorry, "well, I can't remember much except the laughter of the old man salacha."
"All right!" Marca shrugged. "You can go back first - if you can remember the spell that Salazar said later, please tell me at any time."
"Sure, no problem," said Ernst immediately. "I'll go back and remember it."
When he finished, he just turned and walked a few steps, but he heard Maka's voice behind him.
"Wait a minute," said Marca, handing out the snake stick. "You forgot it."
Ernst looked back and waved his hand.
"Oh, no, this... I think it would be better to stay with you..."
"Slytherin left it to you," Marca said frankly. "Take it! It's of no use to me, and I suggest you just take it back and treat it as a collection."
At this point, he paused a little, and then kindly told him:
"Remember! Everyone's wand is different - this snake wand is very powerful, but it's not the best for us."
"So..." said Ernst thoughtfully, "Professor McLean, do you mean... Is this the so-called 'wand chooses the wizard'
Maka couldn't help laughing at the speech.
"Let me see, you heard that from Mr. Ollivander, didn't you?" he asked, but soon put away his smile and said seriously, "but I have to tell you that the really great wizards choose their own wands."
At this point, Maka seemed to recall something and couldn't help smiling.
"There was once a magic wand, which was called the most powerful wand in the world by wizards. Its name was' old wand '. And the last owner of this wand... I think you must have heard of it. He was Professor Albus Dumbledore, the last president of Hogwarts."
"Oh, of course!" burns nodded as soon as he heard Dumbledore. "The greatest wizard in modern times died for Hogwarts... Even after his death, he could deter the Dark Lord and his minions, so that they did not dare to attack Hogwarts Castle easily."
"Yes," said Marca with a smile, "but I can tell you one thing secretly - in fact, Professor Dumbledore just died physically, but his spirit did not. As far as I know, he has embarked on a new adventure in another place beyond our reach!"
"Is this... Is this true? Is it true?" Ernst couldn't help staring at this and said in surprise.
"Well, maybe!" Marca said, "Professor Dumbledore's level is too high, and I don't know very well. I just know that he only did one thing before choosing to go that way --"
Obviously, Ernst, who is full of longing for the world of witches and magic, has long been unable to suppress his longing.
"What's up?" he asked eagerly, taking a step forward almost uncontrollably.
However, Maka still kept his calm smile, and even his sitting posture didn't change.
"Professor Dumbledore broke the 'old wand' he had been using... In this way, the 'click' turned into two pieces of broken wood."
At the same time, he held both ends of the snake stick with both hands and motioned casually. But it was such a casual fake, but Ernst was worried.
"Don't worry, I'll give it back to you. This is your thing." Maka then reached out his hand. "Remember what I just said - power may bring us a certain degree of strength, but it will also make us lose on the way forward. Magic is always a magical, wonderful and dangerous thing."
After that, Marka Jean RNs took the snake stick and watched the little wizard of hutchpatch leave his office.
When the door of the room was closed again, he raised his cup and drank a sip of tea.
"It may be more difficult than I thought to lead a child who may go astray to the right path," he sighed casually. "It's really hard to be a good teacher!"
But while Maka was still feeling for the great cause of "teaching and educating people", a magic wave vaguely appeared in the corridor outside the office, making him habitually look at the door.
Not surprisingly, soon the knock on the door rang.
"Please come in."
Maka waved her hand, the door opened, and then he saw Professor flavy standing at the door... Uh, all right! Because of the cutest height caused by flavie's goblin blood, in fact, Maka only saw less than half of the shiny bald head.
"Oh, Professor flavy? You don't come to me often..." Maka immediately got up and greeted her. "Isn't today a rest day? I thought you'd have a few drinks with Hagrid and them?"
But when Marca saw flavie's face, she knew there might be some trouble.
"Yes, Marca! I really wanted to go for a drink with Hagrid and Slughorn," the little flavie shrieked. "But... Well, we met some... Uh, guests at the school gate?"
"So they're the reason why you came to my office to look for me?" Marca said curiously. "Who's the guest? Who's looking for me?"
"No, not exactly..." flavy looked behind him, then closed the door of the office and lowered his voice. "It's the Witt family. It seems that they want to bring Charlotte back to the family."
"Oh?"
To be honest, Maka really didn't expect anything about the situation of the Witt family at this time.
According to his previous assumption, the most likely time for those guys surnamed Victor to appear should be before the public event of Nicole LeMay's estate.
Even if it is worse, they should choose to make some noise before and after the alchemy competition.
In either case, Maka didn't think they would be interested in Charlotte, let alone come to Hogwarts.
"Professor, how many people have come?" Marca thought about it in her heart, and then asked quickly.
From the moment he entered the door, flavie looked more dignified. This means that although the current situation is likely to be bad, it must not be out of control.
"A lot," flavy recalled. "There were about twenty people. At the moment, Mileva was asking them at the school gate... Or trying to slow down first."
"That study - I mean, where's Charlotte? She today..." as she was saying, Maka quickly said to herself, "Oh, today is Hogsmeade day. She should have gone to the pig head bar to work early in the morning."
"Yes," said flavy, nodding immediately, "so Mileva wants me to tell you first."
"Well, I see."
Charlotte was originally brought back to Hogwarts by him. Now there are important people in the family. Of course, Professor McGonagall still has to find Maka.
However, after a general understanding of the situation, Maka still didn't want to understand what happened. What is the intention behind the Witt family's request for Charlotte's behavior?
"Forget it, anyway, I'll go down and have a look first!" Marca frowned. "Professor, first arrange the students who are still in the castle so that they don't go out for the time being."
While professor flavy nodded, Marka had passed him by, opened the door and went into the corridor.
