"... there is really no magic reaction, just like... There is nothing here?"
A huge mystery is being sealed in the stone box hidden under the secret room of Hufflepuff.
It is not only the last clue since Maka embarked on the road of "candidate", but also the only answer to what happened to the four founders of Hogwarts.
More importantly, it seems to be the ultimate reason why Haier Bo has made so many things since he got out of the ground... Well, not to mention the "death rules" that the other party has been talking about, this stone box is at least one of his real goals.
After thousands of years, loina's husband tried to destroy the phagocytic mirror with the help of the power of meteorites, to Haier Bo transferred the array to guide the meteorites to the front of Hogwarts gate, and then he used demon summoning to get himself a powerful demon body and use it to resist the meteorites from hitting Hogwarts Castle.
Even the battle between halbo and the bronze eagle, which Maka could not see, now seems to have not escaped from halbo's plot.
To tell the truth, if someone came to tell him that the stone box was not actually in Haier Bo's plan, Maka would never believe it.
Yes, maybe even the matter of forcing Haier Bo away and finding the stone box by himself is still a trick of Haier Bo.
"No, it's all for this now. I'm afraid I can't say what a 'conspiracy' it is... It has become a 'conspiracy'."
Now, Marca is sitting by the crucible. Holding the not very heavy stone box in one hand, he looked at the warning line on the box, and his depression remained since the night the meteorite fell.
Obviously, the secret hidden in the stone box was so much related to him that even if he knew that halbo might be looking forward to him to open it, he still couldn't help but think about it.
After all, this thing was left by roina and Helga, and it was clearly reserved for the "candidate". Once it is opened, probably all the questions that have puzzled him so far can be answered.
"Do not open this box unless you are ready."
The words engraved on the stone box made Maka more and more want to open it immediately and see what's in it.
Just then, Maka suddenly raised her head and looked subconsciously at one end of the corridor outside.
"Call -"
At the next moment, he breathed a little. Then he put the stone box back in the bag around his waist, and waved it to remove the spell left on the door.
Soon, with a burst of footsteps, the door of the potion preparation room was knocked.
"Come in!"
Before the voice fell, the door gently opened and Delphi came in from the outside.
"Dad."
"Well," Marca nodded slightly and said with a smile, "what's the matter? Didn't I say that the repetitive operations in the preparation process of magic medicine will be reduced a lot, and I'll be more than enough alone - look! I just need to wait aside. If I don't have to stare all the way in case, I don't think you can see me when you come."
Hearing this, Delphi glanced at the crucible, which was making a soft sound, and then said:
"I know... Dad, I just wanted to talk to you... About Miss Granger and them."
"Huh?"
As soon as Maka heard this, she could not help but tilt her head and said curiously:
"Hermione? What's up?"
However, as soon as he finished asking, he seemed to think of something, and some suddenly raised his eyebrows.
"Oh! Is it about this potion?"
However, Delphi hesitated for a moment.
"You can say that," she thought, "but fundamentally... I think you know, Miss Granger, they're worried about you."
In fact, just now Hermione and them were talking in the garden, Delphi happened to pass by and heard some. Although I didn't listen to it all, the worry about Maka's concealing the effect of magic medicine and the doubt about the relationship between Delphi and Maka have more or less fallen into her ears.
Of course, since Marca has already given everyone a "preventive shot", I'm afraid no one will doubt that she is now with little Delphi in brova fort.
So she didn't care much about it - even Hermione's guess was almost a little away from the truth.
"It's really a difficult problem," Marca shrugged after Delphi roughly said the conversation she overheard. "It's really something I don't want to see that everyone is worried about me. Unfortunately, Hermione and them are very smart. Even if I hide it well, they may not find it."
Just as she was saying this, Maka suddenly spread her hand again.
"However, compared with this worry, I don't want them to know what I'm doing... How to say? 'immoral'?"
"Dad -"
Seeing that Delphi wanted to persuade, Maka immediately waved her hand and motioned that she didn't have to excuse herself.
"This is a fact," said Maka with a smile. "Although my purpose is not bad, it is undeniably cruel that those Muggles who have been tested have to suffer unparalleled pain and even die."
Moreover, in terms of the difficulty and danger of this study, more accidents are bound to happen in the reagent test after that. The Muggle guard who died as a result is the first, but most of them will not be the last.
However, just after Maka said this, he was quite serious and said:
"Dad, can I take part in the experiment, too?"
"Hmm? Haven't you already participated? You've been helping me prepare the reagent these days!"
"No, Dad, I mean... As an experimenter..."
Delphi's idea was really unexpected to Maka. After he was suddenly stunned, Delphi saw makadan, even though he was a little stunned:
"What are you talking about? How is that possible?"
But Delphi still looked at him calmly and asked softly:
"Why not? Dad, you see - I'm also a Muggle now, aren't I? Moreover, because I used to be a wizard, I have enough mental power, and it's undoubtedly less difficult to awaken magic than a real Muggle who hasn't experienced a magic riot. As a Muggle today, I'm of high value in participating in the experiment."
Delphi's words are obviously correct, so at this moment, Maka can only simply shake her head to express her refusal.
Taking Delphi as an experiment is certainly unacceptable to Maka.
