"Mr. McLean, why do we come here?" Enns looked at the stone debris and soil and the collapsed and blocked tomb passages everywhere, and couldn't help but ask Maka, "And why do we have to go so deep?

Where to go?”

Yes, that's the problem. If you just want to find an inaccessible place to study the Devouring Mirror, there are many places for Maka to choose from. And if that's the case, why do you have to come to this place that once sealed Haierbo?

What about the underground palace?

However, I didn't expect Maka's answer to be extremely simple.

"Isn't it just to dig up his wooden soul coffin?" Maka, who was walking in the front, waved away the rocks and soil blocking the way, and said casually, "You told me this!

Isn’t it?”

"ah!"

Hearing this, Enns couldn't help but nodded suddenly.

That's right, it was precisely because Helbo mentioned to him that the wooden coffin used by Slytherin to seal him came from the special tree species Soulwood planted by Hufflepuff himself. That's why Maka decided to come here.

Just a walk.

Soul wood is a very rare magical tree species. In today's era, he has never seen it anywhere other than some ancient hand-drawn manuals, not even once.

Therefore, if you want to get the soul wood, it seems that you can only come to this place.

At the moment, Maka is constantly cleaning the tomb passages, leading Enns towards the depths of the underground palace. He has been here many times before to study the Bewitched Monument. Although this underground palace is quite huge, there are many tomb passages now.

They were all collapsed and destroyed, but he still knew exactly how to get to the main tomb chamber where the Bewitchment Monument was originally stored.

"Boom"

Perhaps when turning over the huge rock, the supporting structure was accidentally damaged, and this section of the tomb passage suddenly began to tremble. As several remaining stone pillars suddenly broke, a large amount of bricks and sand suddenly fell from above the two people's heads.

Fall down.

"Be careful... float into the air."

It has to be said that Enns trained very hard in casting spells. When he saw a lot of bricks falling from the top, he almost reflexively pulled out his usual wand and cast a spell upwards.

Floating spell.

"Oh, thank you."

Maka, who was about to fend off the falling rocks, saw this and immediately smiled at Enns, then suddenly raised her hand to push it upward.

Immediately, the masonry and earth blocks that had been falling frequently stopped for a moment, and then started to rise again, and were pushed back directly by a huge force.

Not long after, this section of the tomb passage, which had collapsed badly, was repaired by Maka in a somewhat "rough" way.

"Okay, keep going!"

After doing all this, Maka waved her hand and walked forward. Behind him, Enns quickly followed.

"Mr. McLean, why don't you use a repair spell?" Enns followed not far behind Maka, reached out and touched the wall of the new tomb passage that was compacted by Maka, and asked with some confusion.

"Because it's not necessary," Maka said, "I'm just here to pick up things, and I don't intend to repair it like it's my new home."

After a while, as Maka continued to move forward, the two of them, who almost never stopped, soon reached the end of the main tomb passage.

As Maka said before, along the way, Enns has seen that many tombs are still intact and have not collapsed due to the violent vibration when Haierpo broke free from the seal.

Especially the last main tomb, which is extremely huge, because it originally needed to store the huge Bewitchment Stele, so this tomb is not only quite large, but also has no stone pillars to support it.

The reinforcement magic here still maintains its intended effect to this day. Except for some areas that collapsed because they could not withstand the huge force when Haierbo came out of the ground, they still generally maintain their original appearance.

"Hmm... But if I have to say it, maybe converting this place into an underground shelter is also a good choice." Maka said softly as he walked inside, "At least, that guy Haierbo will probably never know how to do it in this life."

I don’t want to come here again!”

"Really?" After hearing this, Enns couldn't help frowning and said, "That guy's thoughts seem to be abnormal. Maybe he won't mind?"

When Maka heard this, she couldn't help but shrugged.

"I just said it casually," he said, "However, it is estimated that even Haierbo, who is different from ordinary people in every way, would not be willing to 'revisit the old place' in a place like this. You know, he is sealed in

This place has been underground for a thousand years! Anyone else would have gone completely crazy long ago."

Of course, Maka was just chatting with nothing to say. He would not really convert this underground palace into some kind of shelter.

While chatting with Enns, he had already begun to clean up the area in the middle of the main tomb.

With a wave of his backhand, he swept aside all the rocks scattered on the ground, and then saw a large hole that was still dark even though it was illuminated by light.

After discovering the cave, Maka seemed to have no intention of going in, but suddenly waved her hand deep into the cave.

The next moment, Enns saw a large amount of soil mixed with gravel suddenly spewing out from the ground, and under Maka's control, it was all piled to the side.

As the earth and rocks tumbled for a while, Maka suddenly seemed to sense something and raised his eyebrows slightly. Then, he and Enns saw some wooden fragments starting to mix in the earth and being turned over.

When Maka saw this, he immediately waved his hand, causing one of the palm-sized wood chips to suddenly turn around and fly towards him, and he accurately caught it in his hand.

"Huh?" Maka looked back and forth a few times, then said with some confusion, "Is this the soul wood?"

To be honest, if you look at ordinary wood, this piece of wood has been buried underground for nearly a thousand years, and it is considered rare in the world to still not decay.

However, it is light and fluffy in the hand, and is quite dry and loose when pinched, as if it will be twisted into crumbs if you use more force. Is this state really valuable?

Or... after all, is this really the soul wood?

With such doubts, Maka waved his hand again and continued digging deeper into the ground. Only after he finally pulled out a relatively intact side panel of the coffin from the ground did he feel completely sure.

The piece of wood in his hand that seemed to be easily broken was part of the wooden coffin used to seal Haierbo.

"Just this thing is enough to be labeled as fragile!"
