Haierbo ran away. He didn't seem to be running very happily, but he was very decisive.

When the red firelight and billowing smoke were swaying in the night wind under the starry sky, Maka sat down gently on the ruins of the wall with a blank look on his face. No one knew what he was thinking at this moment.

Suddenly, a large owl with anklets flew up from the depths of the Forbidden Forest, flapped its wings and drew an arc through the air, and then landed steadily on Maka's shoulder.

It was well versed in human nature and gently rubbed its head against Maka's cheek, and let out a low "goo".

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Maka reached out and scratched its head, watching it narrow its big eyes in comfort, and then couldn't help but smile slightly.

"It's just a castle! The so-called 'Hogwarts' is not just a building made of bricks..." He said while looking around, and then couldn't help but shake his head, "

Although, it does seem a little sad."

To be honest, Maka had obviously been psychologically prepared for Hogwarts Castle to be destroyed or even occupied by Haierbo, otherwise he would not have promoted the study tour plan in which all teachers and students of the school participated.

But when his worst imagination turned into reality and was placed in front of him, it was obviously impossible to accept this result easily.

The magic barrier that Maka held up at that time might have been able to withstand the shock wave of the meteorite falling to the ground, but he never expected that Haierbo would change the trajectory of the meteorite at the cost of half his body. He was directly hit by a large number of meteorite fragments.

, his protective barrier is undoubtedly unbearable.

However, now that the devastation of Hogwarts Castle has become a fact, there is not much point in thinking about it anymore. Perhaps the most important thing is that Maka finally drove away Helbo, who was also seriously injured.

, did not allow the other party's conspiracy to succeed completely.

"There must be some important secrets hidden in Hogwarts Castle, and among them is something that Haierbo is trying every possible means to obtain."

"If you want to get something like that, you have to destroy the castle...and you have to use the power of meteorites?"

"So Haierbo may not know where the hidden things are...or, even if he knows, he can't easily enter by other means..."

Based on what Haierbo did today, these inferences are naturally not difficult to draw.

And although Haierbo just said that he had no "reason", Maka obviously didn't believe such nonsense.

After thinking about it again, Maka couldn't help but frown and thought to herself:

"Could it be that...the 'Death Rule Rune' has actually been hidden in Hogwarts Castle?"

The scroll of truth left by Rowena contains very few level 3 rule runes without the "rune of death". In addition, each of them is extremely profound and obscure. No matter how smart Rowena is,

It is impossible to learn too much.

Yes, even if you just record a rule rune, you don't need to fully master it.

"Mafa, go to the sky and keep an eye on me. If anyone appears, tell me immediately... Go ahead!"

After saying this, Macca shrugged slightly and watched the owl Mafa immediately flutter its wings and leap high into the sky. After a while, it began to hover leisurely over the ruins of the castle.

Maka glanced at it, then nodded, and then she propped herself up on the broken wall beneath her and started to fly.

…

Logically speaking, it would definitely not be easy to find something among the ruins of this collapsed castle.

However, after actually setting out to search, Maka soon discovered that this matter was not as difficult as he imagined.

Because when he was looking for anything unusual, a place that he was supposed to be very familiar with actually exposed the entrance to a secret passage that he had never discovered under the bombardment of meteorites!

"This is...Hufflepuff's dormitory."

When Maka was a student at school, he had wandered into Hufflepuff's common room and dormitories many times. However, he had never found such a secret passage at that time.

Now, under the impact of the meteorite, this secret passage spiraling downward into the ground was finally exposed to Maka's sight.

"So, is this the place that Haierbo is looking for?"

In fact, this secret passage was severely damaged by meteorite fragments. Although the spiral staircase leading underground can still be clearly seen in the ruins, the passage was basically buried by collapsed stones.

Coupled with the blazing flames surrounding it, it looked like a portal to hell.

Maka frowned slightly and suddenly waved her backhand. A large amount of cold air completely extinguished the remaining flames in an instant, and the area was immediately coated with a layer of white frost.

"If it's here, you can find out if you go down and take a look."

No matter what Halpo wants, no matter whether it is dangerous or not, Maka will never let him get it.

While thinking this, Maka flew down and dived into the dark entrance of the passage.

This is a very long spiral staircase. The impact of the meteorite caused the staircase to be dislocated and damaged in many places, which forced Maka to clear the passage while walking down.

Fortunately, darkness does not pose any hindrance to Maka. He can clearly and accurately sense changes in the terrain without even creating a magic light source.

After waiting for a while, when Maka cleared away all the rocks again, a ray of light suddenly illuminated everything around him.

Then he discovered that the light came from a crooked and half-collapsed doorway below.

"The secret room."

Maka muttered softly, and then continued walking down the cracked and crooked stone steps.

Yes, this should be another secret room and it is probably a secret room belonging to Hufflepuff! However, this does not seem to be surprising.

Salazar Slytherin has his own Chamber of Secrets, and so does Rowena Ravenclaw. In this case, Helga Hufflepuff can certainly have a Chamber of Secrets of her own.

As for Godric Gryffindor... Based on that guy's character and temper, Maka felt that there might not be a so-called "Gryffindor's Chamber" in this castle.

Soon, when Maka restored the half-collapsed doorway, the space behind the doorway finally came into view.

"Hmm...huh?"

Maka stood at the door and looked inside, pondering for a moment, and then let out a soft sigh as if she had discovered something again.
