Chapter 1678

"Don't get close to that mirror, okay? Even if you accidentally see someone or something that you care about in the mirror, never get close to it - just tell me."

"Well, I see."

Seeing that after Maka made a special reminder, she lowered her head and began to re-study the previously collected soul wood board, Ernst fell into silence.

To be honest, at Ernst's current level, he can't understand what Maka is doing.

From the very beginning when he dug out the fragments of Haier Bo's soul wooden coffin, to the moment when he temporarily put down the boards that looked very fragile and took out the swallowing mirror, Maka turned back and continued to ponder over the pile of wood.

Ernst only knew that Maka should have been doing some profound magic research and experiments, but he couldn't understand it at all.

However, although Ernst still has great deficiencies in magic knowledge, at least he has already understood the intention of Maka to bring him without anyone.

Of course, it's not for him to assist in research - he obviously can't reach that level. The reason why Maka wanted to bring him here was obviously that he had been taken by Haier Bo once, so when he needed to go out this time, he was still worried about leaving him in brova fort.

Because Ernst knew this, he kept quiet and cooperated all the time, and didn't take out his bad temper.

You know, don't look at the fact that Maka had the leisure to make a few jokes when she came here. After observing Maka from time to time these days, Ernst has actually realized that Maka's nerves are probably in a tight state all the time.

Especially today, the repeated mirror events in brova castle have filled Maka's heart with boredom and anxiety.

Of course, it was not the series of accidents that made Maka upset, but the phagocytic mirror as the root of those events. Just this fundamental problem, it is difficult for Ernst to understand too deeply.

Now, after listening to Marca's warning, Ernst sat silently on half a huge brick and started to be stunned. With Marka's advance warning, he deliberately avoided the ancient mirror standing in the middle and thought about some of his own things.

For example, their future magic learning direction; For example, his identity as a "descendant of Slytherin"; Another example is his long dead mother.

Well, maybe occasionally! Somehow he thought of Alexander, who was quite annoying to him.

Is that guy really his "friend"? Ernst, who has never made friends, is not very clear about this, and he still feels that he really doesn't need the so-called "friends".

During the period when Ernst was gradually immersed in many thoughts, the huge main tomb finally quieted down again

But seriously, it's still very difficult for a person to completely control his attention and keep himself undisturbed for a long time. Especially after repeatedly reminding yourself not to see something, that person will find it more difficult to ignore the existence of that thing.

It was after a chance glance at the devouring mirror that Ernst could not help but look more subconsciously.

And it was at the moment when his eyes swept the mirror for the last time that he was surprised to find that the original chaotic mirror gradually became clear. Ernst saw that behind Marca in the mirror, a vague figure that made him feel familiar gradually emerged.

As soon as Ernst saw it, he quickly turned his head and looked at Maka, but he didn't see anyone.

"Who is that?"

Because Marca reminded first, Ernst didn't mean to get close to the past at all. It was only because the hazy figure made him feel a sense of familiarity that he didn't immediately tell Marca.

Deans stared at the image in the mirror and watched the figure standing behind "Marca" slowly become more and more clear. A moment later, he finally confirmed the identity of the "other party".

"That's..." he muttered to himself. "Is it Salazar Slytherin?"

So far, he has seen the magic image of his "ancestors" twice, and they are all under very special circumstances. It is not easy to forget such an impressive way of meeting.

So Ernst is sure that the figure is Slytherin. He can't be wrong!

"What's the matter? What are you trying to deceive me this time?"

With this mentality, Ernst saw the "Slytherin" in the mirror suddenly bent down and put his hand directly to Marca's waist.

At the next moment, "he" took out a strange stone box that Ernst had never seen from the bag around Maka's waist.

Just when Ernst felt a little confused, Slytherin, holding the stone box in both hands, suddenly looked up, and a pair of deep eyes looked straight at Ernst. The moment their eyes touched each other, Ernst felt only a subtle discomfort rising from his heart.

By this time, with an inexplicable face, Ernst actually wanted to ask Marca to look in the mirror. However, before he opened his mouth, he saw the "Slytherin" in the mirror suddenly hold up the stone box in his hand, turn an angle, and point to the line of words engraved on the stone box with his fingers.

Because he was a little far away, just sitting here, Ernst couldn't see what was engraved in that line. But the intention of the "other party" was obvious - "he just wanted Ernst to see the words engraved on it.

"Mr. McLean, in the mirror!"

Coldly, Ernst's reminder made Maka, who was studying the soul wood, suddenly turn around and look at the past. Unfortunately, at the same time, the mirror of the devouring mirror has returned to the previous chaotic state, and the mirror just now has completely disappeared.

"Ernst, what do you... See?"

As Marca seemed to ask with great concern, Ernst gave a brief meal, and then directly replied:

"I saw Salazar Slytherin standing behind you just now - well, I mean, he appeared behind you in the mirror."

Although Ernst had explained it again in time, Marca frowned and subconsciously looked behind her. Fortunately, as he felt, there was no one behind.

After a little hesitation, Maka continued:

"And then? Slytherin... What did he do?"

"... he took out a strange stone box from the leather bag around your waist."

Before the words fell, Maka's expression stagnated slightly, but her eyes became sharper.

"What kind of stone box?" he asked in a deep voice.
