"What you see in the mirror... Is that it?"

When Marca took out the stone box found under hutchpatch's secret room, RNS was particularly surprised. He didn't expect that there was such a thing in Marca's bag.

"Yes, it should be it," said Ernst, staring at the box in Marca's hand and looking left and right. "Is there... A line engraved on it?"

"Huh?"

Maka couldn't help raising her eyebrows when she heard him ask.

"Yes... What's the matter?"

"The 'Slytherin' in the mirror pointed to the line and motioned to me. He seemed to want me to see it," said Ernst. "But I didn't see it because it was too far away."

Speaking of this, while recalling the scene he saw in the mirror, he was a little confused and said:

"Mr. McLean, you said... 'does he want me to open this stone box?"

In this regard, Maka thought a little, and then shook her head slightly.

"If you just want to open it, you don't need to read this line at all," he said. At the same time, he finally turned the engraved side to Ernst. "I remember you said that in order to understand Hufflepuff's letters, you also taught yourself this old English - can you understand it?"

Hearing the speech, Ernst immediately waved his hand and said:

"No, I just studied it roughly, and then translated the letter according to the book. This...... hmm? Do the last two words mean 'don't open'?"

"That's right," Marca subconsciously glanced at the line again, and then explained, "and the whole sentence means' if the selected child is not ready, don't open this box '."

"That means," said Ernst, frowning and hesitating, "that Slytherin in the mirror is trying to tell me not to open it?"

"Maybe!"

At the moment, Maka's thoughts are obviously not clear, but he still said:

"Or, more likely, want you to stop me when you see me ready to open it?"

Of course, it may be that he wants to lure Maka to open the stone box in this way.

"Forget it, there are too many possibilities... We can't be disturbed by it, so we don't think about this problem." after thinking about it for a moment, Maka carefully put away the stone box first, and then waved her hand. "Ernst, don't think about it... Take a rest! Tomorrow, we have to go back to England early in the morning."

As soon as Ernst heard this, he immediately said:

"Are you going to find Haier Bo?"

Maka didn't hide it. When he asked, she nodded.

"Yes, but I'm the only one who wants to see that guy. As for you... I'll leave you in the brova's camp outside London."

"Oh, all right!"

After talking to erns like this, Maka lowered her head again and continued to beat up the pile of wood.

In this way, when today's sun gradually sank behind the west mountain and all the sunshine scattered on the tree crown turned into silver moonlight, Maka, who turned the research object from the soul wood to the devouring mirror again, finally stopped his work temporarily.

Until then, Maka reached out and woke up the sleeping erns.

"Wake up, the sun is setting."

"Well?"

Ernst looked blearily at Maka, then left and right, and then remembered that he was in the depths of halbo's underground palace.

The dark scene around makes people's concept of time much blurred.

"It's already evening?" he asked vaguely.

"Exactly, it's just late at night," said Marca, taking out a food basket and putting it between the two, and then motioning to Ernst, "eat!"

Then he opened the napkin and revealed a large basket of food. Then he took the lead in picking up a ham sandwich and stuffed it into his mouth.

On the other hand, looking at the rich variety of delicious food, Ernst couldn't help but wonder:

"Mr. McLean, is this... Necessary? Why not just bring some portable dry food?"

"There's also dry food!" Maka shrugged. "Eat quickly! You're also a student of Hufflepuff college. Don't make such a fuss! It's more or less a tradition of our college."

……

After filling his stomach, Ernst watched Marca do research he didn't understand and pondered something about himself.

During this time, there was no abnormality in the phagocytic mirror, even when Maka did other research.

It is estimated that it is because it is too idle, or perhaps because it has just used "supper", and Nash, who had been playing for a long time before, suddenly felt that he was beginning to feel sleepy again.

In other words, since brova came out of Fort until now, Ernst has deeply felt that Marca took him as an "unstable factor" with him.

To be honest, it did make him feel a little uncomfortable.

Unfortunately, poor strength is a very cruel reality for many people.

Fortunately, Ernst is a man with enough perseverance in his heart. Although he usually has a bad temper and treats people coldly, there is still a minimum bottom line. Otherwise, like Malfoy, he might be tempted by some forces that do not belong to him to embark on a road of no return that will harm others and himself.

When erns fell asleep gradually in a daze, Maka looked at him, then sat in front of the devouring mirror and took out the mysterious stone box again.

Why did Ernst see that image? Was it made of halbo's soul fragment in the mirror? If so, what is the other party going to do?

After a little silence, Maka suddenly picked up the stone box, looked at the chaotic mirror and said:

"Why, you want it? Then why don't you just ask me for it?"

Maka didn't speak too loudly, but because the tomb was surprisingly quiet, his words still sounded very clear.

If someone is listening, he can certainly hear it.

However, as the voice gradually settled, there was still no abnormal change in the mirror of the devouring mirror - obviously, they had made so many strange moves in brova castle, but they "pretended to be dead" in front of him.

This made Maka very angry.

However, at present, he really has nothing to do with this broken mirror.

With a slight shake of his head, makafu put the stone box away again, and then lifted his left hand in front of him. On the index finger, the ring engraved with the brova family emblem was flashing a slight silver light.

"Mr. brova?"
