Chapter 510 Unexpected Comer

The development outside the castle is advancing along the road in Maca's memory. In about ten minutes, the mysterious ancient mirror will reappear in Hogwarts.

This disaster is inevitable—at least for Maca, it is inevitable. If the ancient mirror does not appear this time, it means that everything Maca has done is in vain. It is not terrible to be futile, but the terrible thing is that the meaning of his going back in time will be lost.

Without that mirror, Ta Maca would not have appeared here, and this cause and effect is an absolute rule that must be followed. If the rules were violated, he didn't know what would happen.

Therefore, he needs to wait, relying on the constant consumption of magic power to wait for the end of this time loop before proceeding with his next plan.

To be honest, Maca is very lucky. He was thankful that he was cautious enough back then, and didn't even come to Hogwarts Castle to see the situation, which gave him a chance to redeem himself.

Thinking of this, he looked down at the old and the young lying on the stone steps. These two people were purely accidental. Although he felt a little sorry for them, he still chose to use potions to catch them off guard.

It's just that the medicine was a bit heavy this time. After all, Slughorn is also a master of potions. Even though he has the advantage of being unexpected, he is still a little worried.

But it's okay, maybe there will be some aftereffects when they wake up, but at least he can give them an oblivion spell or something in a while. Compared to saving the fate of Hogwarts, making them suffer is nothing.

However, just when Maca was about to calm down to stabilize the power of the soul rule, in order to resist the coming shock in the near future, a series of quack noises made his heart stagnate.

At first, the voice only sounded in the distance, but in the blink of an eye, it suddenly reached his ears. Immediately afterwards, out of the corner of his eye, he quickly caught a glimpse of a gray-green shadow, and then felt a slight sinking of his shoulders.

Quack, quack, soul! The regular breath of the soul! It really is you... Quack, quack! You... Huh? Huh? How did you grow so much taller, kid?

A burst of noise suddenly sounded in his ears, but Maca's face changed suddenly, and a lot of information flashed through his mind in an instant.

The voice is so familiar that it's hard to forget once you've heard it once. Obviously, the thing standing on his shoulder at this moment is the long-lost bronze eagle.

Or rather, the key to the Chamber of Secrets left by Rowena Ravenclaw.

Why did you come here? Maca asked calmly, resisting the uneasiness in her heart.

The small bronze eagle that appeared suddenly stood on his shoulder, and its size was only a little bigger than that of the sparrow, but the meaning it represented was unusual.

It is not only the key to open Ravenclaw's secret room, but also the so-called guide of the candidates. As for where it wants to lead Maca...

From the moment Maca was obtained, this question seemed to have an answer. It's just that the answer is correct or not, but it is not known.

It's the breath of the soul rules! Quack... The bronze eagle stood on his shoulder, tilted its head and looked at him carefully, but continued in its mouth, That's right, you are the genius! Have you come into contact with the rules of the soul? Maybe you can understand, you and I, Lord Eagle, are based on the rules of the soul...Huh?

The little eagle was still chattering non-stop, but suddenly stopped inexplicably, and let out another sound of surprise.

...Time rules? You... What are you going to do? This time, its words were full of surprise and astonishment, When were you? Ouch... How long have I been asleep? ?”

Maca didn't speak, he just frowned slightly, his mind was full of chaotic thoughts.

He knew that the bronze eagle might have sensed the hourglass of the time converter, and the gravel in the hourglass must be related to the rules of time. just this kind of thing,

He didn't have the time to think about it now.

But Maca can keep quiet, but the bronze eagle can't change the habit of chattering. Seeing that he kept silent, as if he was pondering something, Xiaoying suddenly flapped his wings and patted his neck.

Boy, what are you thinking? I see that you can even try to use the soul rules. The last test should have been completed long ago, right? You... oh, no... After all, what are you now? You at the time? You are not the you at this time...

... not long ago, that is, a few hours later, Maca finally said. As for the last test, it has indeed been a while since now.

When he said this, there was no expression on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Really? Then why didn't you come to me right away? Well... forget it! Quack, when you come to me is up to you, Rowena didn't say how much time you have to set... The bronze eagle Tilting his head, the voice seemed to be a little cheerful, In short, are you ready to accept the next test?

Maca heard this and was about to say something, but he just opened his mouth, but as if he realized something, he suddenly clenched the staff tightly in his hand.

I think we'd better talk about those things later... He said in a serious voice.

Before the words were finished, that mysterious and obscure wave suddenly appeared from outside the castle, swept across the surrounding space in the blink of an eye, and spread towards the distance.

He knew that the most critical part of this plan was about to begin!

what?

The bronze eagle was also taken aback, and let out a sound of surprise for the third time today. But then it screamed for a while, and the sound was accompanied by a certain kind of panic, as if it was anxious to see the sky fall.

No, no! Ga? How could it be? That broken mirror... It just yelled a few times, and hurriedly said, This...what happened? It's messed up...it's all messed up...gah...Eagle Lord, I will withdraw first! You boy, stand up for me! Hogwarts depends entirely on you...

Before the words were finished, the bronze eagle disappeared on Maca's shoulder in an instant just like when it came.

This little guy came quickly, but he didn't expect to go faster, even Maca was confused. But now he doesn't have time to think so much, because he still remembers his plan to go back in time this time. If this plan fails, all his hard work will be in vain!

is coming!

Maca paused, and immediately put aside his chaotic thoughts, and concentrated on controlling the rule rune on the top of the staff that represented the soul.

Sure enough, almost at the next second, a violent shock passed by in an instant. It was as if the entire space had shrunk to a certain place, and the force was astonishingly strong. It's just that that kind of power is only aimed at the soul, and it doesn't have the slightest influence on other things.

Maca had personally experienced this kind of horror long ago, but now, he who is driving the soul rule obviously has a more obvious reaction than last time.

It was just this first shock, and he felt that the soul rule rune was on the verge of collapse. It's not that the rule runes don't work, it's just that he doesn't have a good grasp of the soul rules.

Right on the top of his staff, the rune couldn't help but look a little fuzzy, and under the shock just now, it had a tendency to become a little loose. That was originally outlined by him using magic power to condense into silk threads. How effective it can be is entirely related to his understanding of the meaning of the rules.

Like cooling runes, Maca can draw them to a nearly solid state, because he has already had a fairly in-depth understanding of the cooling rules of matter. But regarding the rules of the soul, he is still at a level of half-knowledge.

However, now that things are going on, he doesn't want to give up anymore, and he can't give up either.

Anyway, at least he has resisted the first shock, and he has used the power of soul rules to stabilize the souls of everyone in the castle, and there are still some results!

Before the next shock hit, Maca didn't hesitate any longer, but gritted his teeth to control the magic power again, and began to draw again on the rune on the top of the staff.

Whether the shock comes faster, or whether he strengthens the soul rune faster, depends on this hand.

boom!

That was not the sound of the soul being shaken out of the body, but the sound of Maca's heartbeat. Just before the second wave of shock suddenly passed by, the soul rune was forcibly stabilized by him.

In time!

Although it was barely able to hold on, the rune had to be strengthened again and again to prevent it from collapsing in the shock. But he knew that at least until the magic power was exhausted, he should be able to withstand it.

As long as it can last, the plan has not failed. And as long as he lasts until the retrospective time passes, he can enter the next step.

So, Maca put his left hand into his pocket, quickly took out a gadget that looked like a glass ball, and casually smashed it on the steps under his feet.

Crack!

The glass ball fell on the stone steps and was smashed to pieces. And in the shattered glass ball, a large number of translucent phantoms suddenly appeared, and hurriedly flew towards the lakeside on the south side.

Maca looked at everything in front of her eyes, pursed her lips and remained silent.

In his ears, the ticking sound of the Time Converter was still ringing non-stop. This sound has always been with him since he decided to go back in time, but now it seems extraordinarily long.

At this moment, Maca was standing on the stone steps, the staff in his hand was motionless, just like his body which was not tall and strong, but always calm and incomparable.

And around his body, the circle of rune rings like faint blue chains still exists, and it circles endlessly even when it turns slightly.

Click...click...click...

The ticking sound was unhurried.
