The stone box was opened.

As he came to Hogwarts and stepped into the forbidden forest area, halbo could feel that the magic wave that he was deeply familiar with had become clearer and clearer.

Yes, just as when Kern appeared in the ruins of Egypt, there was an obscure smell calling him to move forward to the depths of the forest ahead.

"Shasha... Shasha..."

His strong and tall demon body seemed a little crowded in the dense forest. When walking, it would inevitably rub against the surrounding branches and leaves and make some frequent and broken sounds.

Fortunately, Haier Bo doesn't seem to care whether these movements will disturb someone here. He just kept silent, as if thinking and remembering something secretly, while still moving forward step by step.

In the forbidden forest, it was as quiet as usual.

A moment later, when halbo kept going deep into the foot of the mountain inside the forbidden forest, the tribal buildings that originally belonged to the horse people, later rebuilt by a group of wild elves and finally abandoned again finally gradually appeared in his vision.

Looking up from the entrance of the tribe, you can see that the stone carved gate built near the mountain in the deepest part of the colony seems to be particularly eye-catching.

After passing through the uninhabited tribe without hindrance, halbo stopped slightly in front of the stone gate, then silently raised his hand and gently pushed the gate.

"Chi -"

The huge stone gate, which was heavy and protected by Maka, seemed to have no weight in halbo's hand and was easily pushed away.

And it was at the moment when the door opened that an indescribable strange smell rushed out of the door, which made Haier Bo frown slightly.

But soon, he saw halbo step into the door and look into the empty cave which was almost dark.

"I found you... You... You..."

Halber's low, husky voice echoed in the wide cave and gradually overlapped, making it sound more gloomy.

However, no one gave him a response, only a faint blue light was flickering slightly in the depths of the cave, as if calling him to pass.

Halboff paused again, then he opened his legs and continued to walk in.

"Chi... Bang!"

Probably after halbo left the entrance for some distance, the stone gate closed automatically behind him. However, Haier Bo obviously didn't care about this, as if he knew it would be so long ago.

As he went deeper into the darkness, after passing through the huge bones of the ancient dragon, he could finally see what it was - the light was sent out by an array drawn on the ground of the cave.

At the moment, it is obvious that within the range of the formation, several things and a human shadow are bathed in the slightly fluctuating blue light.

That's an ancient mirror that Haier Bo can't be more familiar with, a back that Haier Bo can't be more familiar with... And an ancient black box that also makes Haier Bo feel more familiar.

As for the broken stone shells scattered around the black box, up to now, their existence seems to be completely irrelevant.

"McLean, you finally opened it."

Deep inside halber's heart, it seemed that joy was surging, but he hid them very deep. But even if how to hide it, the joy that originated thousands of years ago seems to have no way to hide, so that Haier Bona's tone is vaguely filled with a little joy.

However, Maka, who was standing in front of the devouring mirror, never turned around - he didn't even speak, just silently looked at the chaotic mirror in front of him, and no one knew what had happened to him.

Yes, even halber doesn't know what's going on with Maka at the moment.

However, for Haier Bo, who has been looking forward to this day for a long time, it seems that how Maka is no longer important.

Seeing that Marca still had no reaction, he just gave a little meal, then shook his head and walked straight forward. As for his goal... Not the devouring mirror, nor the standing Maka, but the black box between the ancient mirror and Maka.

Yes, that's the secret hidden in the stone box by royna Ravenclaw - another box.

Haier Bo has a deep memory of this black box. Because that is actually the last thing he found in the world related to the disappearance of the witch Kern. Just a thousand years ago, before he could find a way to open it, it was taken away by the four founders of Hogwarts, including Roy Na, and even sealed himself deep underground.

It was the enchanting monument that sealed him - something he once found, but later stolen by his apprentice Salazar Slytherin together with roina.

"'laziness'... You can finally return to my hands."

Halbo went to the black box while talking, and even Maka, half a step away, was ignored.

However, just when halbo wanted to get the black box, Maka, who had not responded since just now, finally spoke.

"Halbo, stop!"

"Get out!"

There is no doubt that Haier Bo can ignore Maka's existence for such a reason.

At that moment, he suddenly waved his backhand, and an invisible force suddenly attacked Maka. The power was so great that even it had completely exceeded the heyday after Haier Bo had just adapted to the demon body at the beginning. Maka only had time to resist a little, and immediately flew out like a broken kite.

However, it was at the same time that Maka suddenly opened her mouth to attract Haier Bo to do it to him, she saw a slightly thin palm pop out of the mirror of the swallowing mirror next to her, and grabbed Haier Bo's arm to continue extending to the black box.

"Who?"

For a moment, halbona's eyes seemed to have changed completely.

……

The owner of the hand sticking out of the mirror, Marca knows who it is. Because not long ago, the palm also tightly clasped his wrist.

To tell the truth, although Maka had already speculated about the causes and consequences of many things, she never thought that this man would appear in front of him at this most important and critical moment.

And the whole thing may start from the moment he opened the damn stone box.
