Chapter 509: Inside and outside the castle

The stairs in Hogwarts Castle are designed very delicately. Each staircase will send movements at a specific point in time, or they will join or separate, which will lead the people going upstairs to different floors and locations.
Although sometimes it does cause some trouble, if you are not familiar with it, it is very likely that you will get lost because of these moving steps. But if you have enough knowledge of these stone steps that strictly follow the law of movement, in fact, it will let everyone go to the floor and direction they want to reach in a short time.
It's just that it is such a set of interesting stone staircases that has caused some trouble for Maca.
Because the design of the stairs is mobile, in order to allow them enough space to change direction and position, this group of stairs that can reach the top floor of the main fort is basically suspended. Because of this, if you look down, you can actually see the people on the stairs.
At this moment, Maca was standing on a stone staircase about three floors, and the staff in her hand glowed a faint gloom. And just at the top of his staff, a rune that looked vaguely obscure was floating up and down, constantly emitting a magic wave that was invisible to the naked eye.
This magic wave is not the same as an ordinary spell, as if there is a spirit in it, with a soft "coolness".
Yes, it's the kind of coolness that spring people feel like in the castle just now. The effect of that kind of fluctuation is unknown, but it is a fact that it can calm the tension and anxiety of everyone in this range.
He knew about Draco's discovery of himself. Because he had seen Draco from the beginning, and even Slughorn, who ran afterwards, saw it together.
To be honest, this is not a good sign, especially when everyone knows that there is "another" outside.
However, as far as the situation is concerned, he cannot make a better response.
Just a few days ago, after a lot of research and experience, he finally figured out the initial meaning of the rule rune with the help of those ancient characters. And his ultimate goal of coming back this time is the new rule rune.
Just as the magic theory of spirit and will is the path Dumbledore has to go, for Maca, matter and rules may be his magical way.
But any rule rune is not easy to study. So far, he has only focused on one cooling rule, but other rule runes have always been simple.
Only this time to understand the predicament of the deadlock, he finally reached out to the second rule.
In the past, he had done research before the Bewitching Monument, and at that time, he had found traces of soul rules in the evolution of the Black Dead.
Just a few days ago, part of the secret of the Bewitching Monument was finally revealed by him. Although there are many hidden feelings that are difficult to tell, anyway, the interpretation of the rule that appeared in the center of the monument has brought him a lot of help.
That's right, Tamarka holds the scroll of truth, and the Rune of Soul Rule is naturally listed as well. What is difficult for others to obtain, he has from the beginning. So what he wants is not runes, but empirical methods for analyzing and understanding rules.
The soul rule is mostly a secondary rule, which is far more difficult to analyze than the cooling rule that Maca has mastered. He did not expect to understand it in such a short time. In fact, before this retrospective time, he planned to use another method to deal with the mysterious ancient magic mirror.
He never thought that he would have been a bewildering stele that would only cause him trouble, but in this way he gave him a big gift, which gave him the opportunity to implement this more secure and more rewarding backup plan. .
However, no sound plan can avoid accidents.
After all, even if he has a good psychological preparation in advance, knowing the difficulty of understanding the rules of the soul is definitely a huge obstacle. But when he really started researching, he realized that this stuff was beyond his imagination. Even if he has a lot of soul magic theory as the foundation and the inscription of the Bewitching Monument to assist, the result is still a little bit meaningless.
To put it simply, he can barely use it now, but because the understanding is still insufficient, it requires not only other magic texts to support it, but also not enough to cover the entire Hogwarts Castle.
In order to stabilize the soul, the effect is not too weak, and at the same time to take care of everyone in the basement, he must stay in this position, and then move elsewhere, even a step or two.
If the position is higher, his casting range will not be enough; if the position is lower, you know, the other one can stand outside!
But this way, it will be unavoidable to be seen by others-such as Draco who has been pestered at the entrance of the stairs, and, for example, the bald old man Slugho who looked up and followed Draco's sight Yep.
When he found that the old man was also looking towards himself, Maca subconsciously reached out and dragged the hood on the cloak to better cover his body and appearance. But he himself knew that the long-handled staff in his hand was enough to make it recognizable.
"Bring Helen Schoen here if I knew it ... at least it could help me attract attention," he frowned secretly.
Right now he wants to maintain the strength of the rusty soul rules, and this alone makes him feel struggling. Originally, his magic has always felt insufficient, and this long retrospective time has a part of extra magic that cannot be used. Not to mention the magic spell at this moment, even the most basic magic spell will bring him a considerable burden.
And now, being seen by those two guys from a distance, this is a little terrible.
Is it dangerous? No, this can't be said to be dangerous for the time being. After all, when an acquaintance finds himself in space-time travel, it may not necessarily be a matter of time. What he was worried about was that he knew his existence at this point in time.
If the past self finds out the future self, there will be a great chance of causing a paradox. What exactly happens when a paradox occurs? He didn't know, and didn't want to know at all.
Therefore, it is certainly not dangerous at the moment, but if he doesn't do anything, I am afraid that the danger is coming soon.
After a little thought, Maca stopped moving towards the potion of Xianyin, and then she just pulled open the hood and waved at the two guys below.
...
"McLean ... do you know? Albus once told me that he admires you. He even thinks that you are a real wizard."
Outside the Hogwarts Castle, on the frozen lake, Greenward was facing his back at the time, and looked at the ice coffin in front of him. And in the crystal-clear ice coffin, the old man who was still leaving was gently covered with a purple velvet blanket, but his old face was still alive.
Greenward was watching him, watching his former friend, feeling sorrowful.
Dumbledore and him have always been friends and opponents. They all had the magical talents to look down on the world, and they had ambitions that ordinary people dared not touch.
It's just that everyone's wisdom is different. Even if they are like-minded, they will be divided over time. The dispute that year led to the death of Dumbledore's sister and the breakup of two close friends.
But now, when Greenward looks at Dumbledore in the ice coffin and remembers when the two talked together about ancient and modern magic and the whole world, his old heart had a rare excitement.
That was the excitement that he would soon see his old friend, the excitement that he would be able to join hands with Dumbledore again to touch the truth in the world.
Greenward thought, talking casually with Maca behind him. He could feel the hostility in Makka's words ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Apparently not very welcome.
"Oh ... I know, you must be troubled by some of my behavior." Greenward was very relaxed at this moment, smiling slightly, and whispering, "Don't worry, I can tell you directly-I am from beginning to end Just to see Albus again. "
His old friend and opponent has always been optimistic about this boy named Maca McLean, but what is good about him is not clear. Now that he has left the Newmongaard Tower, and first-hand feels the talent of this young man, he finally understands that Dumbledore's praise cannot be overstated.
But this also confirmed his current view of Greenward.
Greenward never felt that his past views were completely wrong. He just learned a truth through Dumbledore's victory. In the past, he valued powerful wizards. It was okay. It was just that he set the standard too low. That's it.
Except for geniuses like himself and Dumbledore, other wizards didn't even need to care, let alone Muggles and magical animals. He used to be dragged by those stupid desires because his vision was not high enough, trying to use power to change the world.
Now that I think about it, it's almost as if an immature child is ridiculous.
"Gellert Greenward! Didn't we just say it? Why didn't you start?"
Opposite the ice coffin came Voldemort's interrogation, cold and fierce, but how could today's Greenward not hear the anxiety in it?
This is like the self of that year, but not even the same as that year. A wizard's ability is not limited to fighting and life and death. Wisdom is the foundation of the wizard's achievements.
Greenward moved a little, and an inexplicable smile appeared on the dusky face.
