Chapter 878

"... we've tried many times, but no matter what method we use, we can't break the defense curse on this lounge. But there are still some gains -"

"We found that the curse attached to the surrounding walls seems to have some similarities with the ancient magic of a pyramid in Egypt!"

While listening to aginbad explaining the situation, Maka looked around at the door in front of her.

Of course, except for the door, the walls on both sides of the dean's room that were not protected by the magic spell had been broken through, and it was in this way that they tried to destroy the outer wall on the other side of the ancient times.

Unfortunately, they obviously did not succeed.

"Well, anyway, I'll try it first!"

No longer waiting for aginbad to continue, Maka suddenly took out the staff and went straight to the door in front of her. But when he was going to break it with some rough but effective means, he soon stopped his hand.

"Oh, it may not be appropriate to mess around here..."

At the thought that there might still be living creatures in it, he didn't want to accidentally hurt anyone before he finally identified the enemy and US - if that happened, it would have a bad impact on his reputation.

However, the defensive magic left by Haier Bo fluctuates so strongly that if you don't touch it first, you really can't know whether there is anyone in it.

"... let me see again."

Seeing that Maka suddenly took back some of the long magic wand in her hand, all the spell solvers in the dean's room gave a disappointed "Oh".

Yes, modern wizards really didn't use long staff for a long time, but they, who specialized in dealing with antiques, knew something about it.

Knowing that the long staff is very difficult to use, and even some of them have tried and failed, they especially want to see how Maka uses it.

Because it is very likely to let these guys who love magic research have a glimpse of the mysteries of ancient wizards.

"This is a long staff... Isn't the one on the mural curved? The one with a hook on the top..."

"That's the instrument staff with the hook!"

"Who said, according to my research..."

Hearing a buzzing discussion behind her, Maka just glanced at it casually and soon focused on the door again.

The door itself looks nothing strange, just a very ordinary wooden door. But the magic wave that diffuses faintly shows that it is not simple.

Thanks to the blessing of royna, Maka read some ancient books about thousands of years ago in her secret room. But there, most of them are about the theory of deep magic. As for the literature that really introduces ancient magic, there is almost no one.

Think about it. Take Maka's office as an example. Although there are many materials there, most of them are research materials and notes. There's nothing strange about living by yourself.

But therefore, his understanding of ancient magic actually has many loopholes. His vision is enough, but it is almost unsystematic.

At this moment, he can't understand what Maka has analyzed from the magic wave quickly.

A moment later, Maka shook her head.

"Forget it, I'd better go in from the roof! As long as you are careful, there should be no problem on it..."

It would take too much time to analyze the ancient magic. He doesn't want to stay here all day.

With a wave of the staff towards the ceiling, a big hole that can directly see the sky takes shape in an instant. This time he didn't even have a magic book. He directly grabbed the staff and flew up. He went through the hole in the ceiling to the top of the mansion.

Roughly looked at the location, but saw that Maka took a few steps forward, and then began to dismantle the roof on the spot.

When he found that he couldn't continue to destroy the roof bricks with the cutting curse, he immediately understood where he had arrived.

"Kerala... Ka!"

Maka puts the wand on the brick roof below and cools it quickly with the cooling rune. The magic in the roof also takes effect. Because he suddenly stopped the cooling rules in an instant, the area of white frost spread was not large, but there was still a burst of cracking sound soon.

Immediately, he gave a meal to the staff in his hand, and the whole person fell into the lounge with the broken bricks and stones.

But before his body landed, he controlled the gravel to float up, holding the falling himself to the floor.

It's similar to what you see outside. It's a room with nothing special.

The floor was covered with a layer of woolen carpet, two beautiful landscape paintings were hung on the wall, the bookshelf on the inner side was filled with all kinds of books, and a large vase on the ground was placed in the corner.

To tell the truth, everything seems to be normal except that there is no mattress and quilt on the copper pipe bed.

Oh, yes! It is worth mentioning that although Maka was not sure whether there was anyone here, now there is no sign of life.

"After a long time, is it just an empty room?"

He murmured and waved his staff again, as if to move everything in the room to see if there was anything hidden. After all, this is the magic world. Although someone has checked it up, down, left, right, front and back, the common sense of physical structure may not be effective in front of magic.

But when Maka was about to do it, he was stung by an inconspicuous trace somewhere.

"What's that?"

As he thought, he walked to the empty copper pipe bed and leaned down to look at a complex dent on the foot of the bed.

It can be seen that it must be a mark deliberately knocked out by someone, and it is the kind that has been knocked many times. Even in the dent of the percussion, there were some blood stains that had already turned black.

"Is it ASA or Miriam?"

Maka reached out and rubbed her finger against the dent, stained with some dried blood powder, put it on the tip of her nose and gently smelled it.

Because after the blood is dried, the smell will fade a lot. He thought he couldn't smell any obvious smell. But who knows, just put it in front of his nose, a strange smell similar to musk rushed into his nose.

The smell is also very weak, but you can smell it so close - I have to say, it's a little bad!

Maka immediately took away her finger, then frowned quickly, as if thinking about what the smell was just now. After a while, he was suddenly stunned and smacked his mouth with a strange expression for a long time.

"So... It's Miriam!"

Somehow, he already knew who was trapped here.

He stood up and clapped his hands. Then he quickly returned to the dean's room outside and waved to aginbad.

"Mr. aginbad, I went in and had a look - although I didn't check it carefully, there should be nothing in it. If you don't trust me, you can search it again."

The defensive magic on the door and wall is still there, but the on the roof has been forcibly broken by Maka. It's no longer difficult to get in.

As for the magic on the remaining walls, it will become a valuable research material.

When aginbad thanked repeatedly for a while, and then hurried up the roof with the spell solvers to enter, Maka reached out and stopped bill Weasley who wanted to follow in and see a fresh bill Weasley.

"I have something to do now, and I'm leaving soon..." he said. "You should have heard that Hogwarts will hold an event at Christmas, and you must come! And... Seriously, as Ron's big brother, you have to find a way for him... He has encountered some 'small problems' recently."

"Ron?" Birch said. "When did he lack 'small problems' in his life? It's all right. I believe he can make it by himself..."

Seeing Bill smiling indifferently, Marca had to shrug her shoulders.

"OK! I may say things too casually... In fact, it's a 'not so small' problem. I'm afraid he can't solve it this time. Then you family members will have a headache together!"

"Er..." bill tilted his head and wondered, "what kind of problem is it? First of all, if he gets into trouble again, I won't help him - our Weasley men should be brave."

"Oh, actually... To be exact, it's an 'emotional' problem." Maka thought and said subtly, "when you were at Hogwarts, didn't you say you rejected the pursuit of several girls? I think you have to teach Ron your ability."

To tell you the truth, Marca's words really surprised bill.

"When did Ron become so popular?" he immediately came up to Marca and said in amazement, "true or false? Where has it changed? Is it some love potion? Contraband?"

"Well... Cough," Maka said solemnly, "it's not convenient for me to say this for him. You can find him and ask him!"

"Well..."

Bill listened, pondered for a moment, and then sighed.

"If mom knows, she has to jump with joy! Ron has a girl chasing him... What can I refuse? Even if we go out in the middle of the night and scare people to death, we Weasleys won't dislike it. Is it because other girls have bad character?"

Watching bill muttering to himself, Marca didn't want to spend any more now. Anyway, he has finished what he should say. Ron will definitely go to Hogwarts later, and he doesn't have to worry about it.

After saying goodbye to bill, regardless of whether the other party listened or not, he walked up the stairs and searched in his pocket around his waist.
