"You didn't open it."
Royna looked at the stone box put in front of him by Maka. After a long silence, he said such a question. However, judging from her tone, it was more like a statement of a fact "in front of us" than a question.
Maka nodded when she heard the speech.
"Haven't you engraved words on it?" he pointed to the stone box and said, "if you're not ready, don't open this box '- I've destroyed all your tests and plans by myself, how can you be' ready '?"
"But you're not a 'obedient' person," said royna, looking straight at Maka, faintly. "Otherwise, you won't doubt the tests and clues I give again and again, and finally completely disturb them."
"All right, all right!" Maka spread her hands. "Now I ask you, can I open it?"
"No."
This time, royna's answer was very straightforward.
However, after such an answer, she lowered her head again, looked carefully at the stone box on the ground, and said to herself:
"I think you must be confused and curious about what's in it, but unfortunately, I can't tell you any information about it... You know? This stone box was actually handed over to Helga after I left my present will, but I won't let her know what's in it either, because..."
"... because apart from the 'candidate' who completes your test, as soon as others open this stone box, they will immediately cause some extremely terrible disaster, won't they?"
Maka took her words and said what she wanted to say directly. Then Maka looked at her and shook her head:
"This is the only answer I can get without a clue - really, your stone box is like the legendary 'Pandora's box'."
"You are really smart and confident," royna continued to look at him, and finally, with a rare hesitation, "... A bit like me."
For Roy Na, who is extremely intelligent, this evaluation is already very high, which can be said to convey the greatest recognition to Maka.
Because she can understand how difficult it is to say this guess with such certainty without any reliable tips and clues and malicious inducement from Haier Bo.
After all, Marca did not open the box.
If someone else had thought that the stone box might have been left by roina to deal with Haier Bo, he would have been tempted to open it for a long time.
However, after so "praising" Maka, she suddenly shook her head and said categorically:
"Unfortunately, being too smart may not be a good thing sometimes... Just like me, although I was young when I left this will, I can say for sure now that I will die in the future. Even... Future generations will never know how I died..."
At this point, she couldn't help a little, and then she said frankly:
"... and you, your ending will be the same."
When Maka heard the speech, she couldn't help raising her eyebrows.
"Won't even your Eun know?"
"Eun..."
When she mentioned her husband, roener seemed to have a heart - she hesitated.
"No, he won't know... I won't let him know."
"But he knows," Marca shrugged. "Then he told me - but it's true that no one else knows how you died except him, and Hogwarts only claims that you died of a serious illness."
"So, I finally told him?" royna whispered in amazement, and then sighed. "Sure enough, time will change a person, even I can't avoid vulgarity."
"Yes!" Marca couldn't help thinking about what she had experienced, and then sighed, "moreover, time can change, not just one or two people?"
Royna looked at him and sighed. After a while, she put down this "little thing" that was not very important in fact - although it was related to her death, she obviously didn't care.
And then I saw her turn again:
"In short... Smart young man, I think I have to ask you two questions. Can you answer me honestly?"
Roy Na seemed to want to get back to the point, but Maka was a little out of interest at this time, because he knew what he wanted to know from each other now.
After thinking about it, Maka somehow remembered the first time she entered Roy's secret room.
"You seem to like asking questions..." he smiled and said, "OK! You can ask, but whether you can answer or not depends on the situation on my side - didn't you mention it just now? Time has changed a lot."
Royna listened, but just nodded noncommittally.
"The first question," she said directly, "has Godric's sword found its successor?"
Seeing that the other party mentioned the Gryffindor sword, Maka thought a little and said frankly:
"There is one, but it is not yet mature."
"Then the second question," continued roina, "out of respect for the wisdom you have, I want you to make a choice - are you willing to be permanently sealed by me or embrace death?"
To be honest, Maka was not surprised to hear that the other party had more or less "excessive" two options. Because, in fact, he had already expected that he would face such a choice sooner or later.
However, it was roina Ravenclaw who gave him the choice.
"'embrace death '?" Maka looked at her still calm and beautiful face and said calmly, "like you, do you choose to commit suicide?"
"That's right," said royna slowly, staring at him as well. "Because my plan is not comprehensive enough, it's my fault to involve you. I'm sorry... But I'm sorry. You and I deserve to die for others."
"Alas..."
Maka was silent for a few seconds, and finally sighed solidly again.
"If I can solve the problem by dying, it's OK for me to die... But do you really think I can end it by dying?"
"At least we can postpone the disaster for a few more years." Roy Na said expressionless.
But Maka immediately waved her hand and asked:
"It's just adding more uncertainty to this matter! Isn't there enough uncontrollable factors, Roy Namira? When are you going to keep it?"
