There are not many gorgeous and colorful scenes, nor any shocking sounds.
Since the rune array was launched, its performance has always been very low-key. In addition to the usual dark blue magic brilliance and silent floating pattern symbols, there are no other anomalies.
Unconsciously, half an hour passed.
Maka still stared at the fully lit part in the middle. After it continued for dozens of seconds, she secretly confirmed the completion of the first stage of the array.
Then, he suddenly raised his magic wand and waved it steadily, making the existing magic circulate in several Rune rings in the middle.
This first stage takes a lot of time. He can't supply magic for the array all the time. Therefore, in order to maintain the self operation of the array for a long time, he thought of using circulation to greatly reduce the loss, and applied it to this set of array.
"Next... We have to wait until it resonates with the magic of the comet."
As she spoke, Maka sat down on the ground without paying any attention to how dirty the top of the Blackstone fortress was.
On the other side, old Eun, sitting in a wheelchair, also breathed a sigh of relief.
"... then wait!"
It is often said that billionaires certainly don't care about one or two points, and those who live long enough naturally don't care about waiting for another moment and a half.
But the fact is that sometimes it is quite different from some natural conjectures.
To say that old Eun has been waiting for nearly a thousand years, but now, when he found that his long wait was finally about to usher in the moment of blossom and fruit, his urgency was even much more than he imagined.
He wanted to ask Maka a a few more questions and how sure he was. However, he knows the process from beginning to end. Asking now is like adding chaos.
Therefore, he can only choose to remain silent most of the time, so that Maka can carry on the plan quietly.
Suddenly, the old man's eyes were frozen and his eyes fell quickly in the center of the array. Because he saw that two faint light spots suddenly appeared there and surrounded each other.
"Well, this is the most direct proof of the double comet nucleus comet..." Maka nodded immediately. "To tell you the truth, from this moment on, I finally had more confidence in this plan."
This "star picking plan" is always incredible. If old Eun hadn't come up with those calculation data, Maka probably wouldn't have really gone crazy with the old man.
But even with the data, the plan is still full of uncertainties.
Not to mention anything else, the shape of the comet itself is one of the biggest basic elements of the plan.
If it is not a comet with double comet nuclei as old Eun said, it is impossible for Maka to "peel" some fragments from a comet flying at high speed in the universe and hit the earth for fun.
Looking at the two growing light spots in the array, Maka continued to wait silently. Because those two points are the phenomenon when the magic in the formation resonates with the comet binuclear, but it is far from enough to be obvious.
But just then, Maka, who was watching them, seemed to think of something and suddenly said without looking back:
"By the way, millian and AHAS are with me now..."
His endless words seemed a little abrupt, but he didn't seem to continue to explain more.
Because he was sure that old Eun would understand what he was trying to say.
Sure enough, the old man quickly said:
"Really? Miriam, the child... It's best that she's still alive."
Marca could hear that old Eun was really happy for Miriam's survival. It's just this joy, but it's hard to make people laugh.
Makaton paused and asked calmly:
"Since you finally asked that Ahaz to save her, why did you have to abandon her before?"
Maka had already understood the answer to this question, but he still wanted old Eun, the person who made the decision, to say it himself.
Maybe he heard some dissatisfaction from his tone. Old Eun immediately said, "let AHAS pick her up because her task has been completed..."
"... I know it's really inhumane to let some people who have nothing to do with it make sacrifices. But I must ensure that 'he' always pays attention to where I want him to pay attention... So that our plan can be carried out more safely."
"You know, many things need people to do, so... In order to reduce my guilt, I can only choose to save the children from the beginning and raise them slowly. Then... I will let them decide whether to repay their lives to me as much as possible."
Old Eun's words were very heavy, and the reasons in his words were not unreasonable.
He not only saved many children who were destined to die, such as Milian and ASA, but also raised them one by one, and even gave them the right to choose.
Even that choice will make people feel a little threatened.
However, even if these are regarded as acts of hidden hardship, does he really have the right to let those children sacrifice their lives for his "millennium plan"?
Seeing old Eun talking, she stopped. Maka was about to say something, but the other party added:
"... but seriously, I didn't think of one thing at the beginning. Although my practice made me feel less guilty, my pain was more... It can be said that I watched every child grow up!"
In the days of dealing with halbo, old Eun's men have indeed sacrificed a lot of people. These things began on the day when Maka was deliberately sent into the British magic world to meet Azkaban.
Therefore, this created the impression that "Eun Ravenclaw sent the dead without hesitation regardless of his men's lives".
But on the other hand, how did old Eun treat the children he saved in the past thousand years?
You know, this organization marked by "Raven" seems to have existed for a long time?
"In short, I hope this plan can go smoothly!"
In fact, Maka can't make any comment on old Eun's practice. He is not a moral benchmark, nor is he interested in judging others from some commanding heights.
The question just now was not so much his dissatisfaction with old Eun's practice as a process of trying to find the answer.
After touching the soul rules, Maka felt that the answers to such questions seemed to become more and more important.
Unfortunately, he didn't get a satisfactory answer this time
Gradually, another half hour hurried away, but in old Eun's heart, it seemed longer than his life.
However, fortunately, during this silent waiting period, nothing unusual happened to the array, and the two light spots have slowly expanded to the size of a person's head.
During this period of time, they always revolved at a uniform speed, splashing dark blue particles in the array. If you put aside other irrelevant things, just enjoy it, it really has a special beauty.
When old Eun waited so long that his breathing became a little hurried, Maka finally stood up again with a magic wand.
He didn't say anything more to the old man, but focused on lighting the staff in the groove of another stone slab at the edge.
This is the place to inject magic into the outermost layer of the array. As long as part of his magic circulates in the outer ring, it can be started alone.
To be honest, this is actually the simplest step. But during the making of this array, the single outer ring on this floor took the most time.
When the faint blue light infiltrated the whole circle of stone slabs, with the sudden explosion of a canopy of light particles, it condensed a hemispherical virtual shadow directly on this formation.
Just like Professor sinista's Star Cafe, Maka used the previous data here and arranged the star map of the solar system.
Compared with the star map in the Star Cafe, his accuracy requirements here are much higher.
"In 25 minutes, we can start making magic resonance... However, I think it's better to wait a little longer. A better position and angle will make the last step easier and more accurate."
Maka said, glancing at old Eun and gesturing that he could talk about his ideas.
This is a plan without trial space. Everything needs to be completed at one time. If there is an accidental mistake due to some omissions, there may not be a chance to remedy it.
So Maka didn't hesitate to communicate with old Eun.
"Well... I'd like to say as soon as possible, but wait a little longer! We must ensure that it will succeed, don't we?"
Unfortunately, old Eun didn't seem to have any ideas.
When Maka heard the speech, she shrugged slightly and continued to pay attention to the operation of the star map in the array. Next, as long as the comet reaches the most favorable position, he can continue to start the third step.
At about this time, however, Hermione was sitting silently in the Gryffindor common room. The reason for her silence was only Professor McGonagall's words:
"McLean has resigned."
It is not even clear when the figure has quietly left. Seriously, if she had noticed at that time, she would have forcibly prevented him from leaving - even by any means.
But now when she wanted to come, she just felt that she should just sit here and wait for him to return silently.
