harry potter book of crimes

When Harry was still feeling unfinished about what he had just encountered - ah no, I mean, the moment of lingering fear happened to be the moment when Maka met the Sphinx.

However, what Maka hates most now is guessing...

"What only rises but does not fall? Come with me?" He thought about it and couldn't help but said, "...is it 'age'?"

The Sphinx still closed its eyes tightly, motionless, waiting in silence.

"What never lies, tells me the illusion of reality...is it a 'mirror'?"

"Then, the last sentence, 'When you move forward step by step with them, you will understand the gaps in life and the end of the world.' It should be said, 'As you grow older, the mirror will let you see the traces of time on your face.

The ravines are the vicissitudes of time'..."

Looking at it this way, the answer is "wrinkles".

"No...there seems to be something wrong..." Maka did not rush to give the answer, but thought carefully for a moment.

Then, he suddenly shook his head as if he remembered something.

"Tell me 'true illusion'?" He thought to himself, "If the answer to the second sentence is 'mirror', then it would be more reasonable that the answer to the second sentence should be 'false reality'... From this point of view, the second sentence

The words are obviously misleading..."

"Real illusion...real...illusion?" He muttered it several times in a low voice, and then suddenly said, "Could it be said that it is 'memory'?"

"It should be right... For an individual, memory will never 'lie' to oneself, and is a kind of 'truth' that 'only belongs to oneself'; but on the other hand, memory will always be

An 'illusion' that 'only belongs to you'."

"Since it is 'memory', and combined with the last sentence, 'life ravine' undoubtedly refers to the low point in life such as mistakes made in life; and 'the end of time' means that it lasts for a long time, and in the end

There was no time to save it—"

"I know," Maka shouted to the Sphinx, "the answer is 'regret'."

The Sphinx opened its eyes, looked deeply at Maka, and then nodded slightly.

"Dumbledore asked me to prepare a profound problem. I figured it out, but I didn't think anyone would answer it correctly." It said solemnly, "But I didn't expect that the wizard's wisdom shocked me -"

"Young wizard, you were not misled by appearances and found the real answer! I believe that you deserve to receive my reward - tell me your 'treasure' clue, and you will get the map fragment of the area where it is located!

"

I have to say that this is indeed a very big reward - at least, for a normal contestant, there is no doubt about it.

The Sphinx stood up, and a piece of parchment floated up from under it, flew through the air lightly, and fell into Maka's hand.

When he came into contact with this piece of parchment, some fine ink lines gradually appeared on it, and there was an eye-catching red dot in the middle - that should be Luna's location.

Sphinx's classification level is "XXXX", but don't think that their combat power only reaches this level!

You know, the reason why they are classified in this level is just because all sphinxes are similar to or even exceed the wisdom of wizards, so they will not hurt people at will.

Even Maka would not be willing to fight an angry Sphinx. Not to mention whether it can beat it, even if Maka can defeat it, it will consume a lot of time and energy - this is

At the moment, it is undoubtedly an act that is worth the loss.

Maka compared the route map she drew and carefully checked the three existing map fragments, and finally discovered some clues.

"No wonder the map fragments are all square, but there are only eight copies...these fragments are not just simple puzzle pieces, they can actually partially overlap?"

He came to this conclusion when Maka discovered that the corner of the first map fragment he obtained from the box was exactly the same as the corner of the fragment in Luna's area.

But it's a pity that the routes he is taking now don't match any of the map fragments. This means that he must continue to explore the road...

Maka nodded slightly to the Sphinx who was hiding aside, then passed by it and walked towards the intersection ahead.

Exploring the map is very boring, but if there are some interesting gadgets popping up on the road, it won't seem so bad. Not long after, when Maka turned a corner again, there was a group of creatures that looked like elves.

Then he appeared in front of him with a chirping voice.

These little guys are about three feet tall, with long pointed faces, and their bodies are wrapped in some dirty cloth strips to cover certain important parts. They bark all the time, noisy and harsh, but with an inexplicable sound.

Appeal.

Especially for little kids!

Maka quickly identified that this was a small group of "evil spirits".

They are very disgusting little things that will often make children into a trance with some kind of "gurgling" sound, and then they will lure the children away from their guardians and eat them cruelly.

They can also use some innate magic spells, but they are far less powerful than the elves - that is not what they are good at.

Maka just waved her wand a few more times and released several red magic light beams, which scared these evil but cowardly evil spirits and fled in all directions.

Of course, his wand was not waved in vain, as the four little dwarfs who fell into a deep coma on the ground at this moment are the best proof.

But just when Maka was about to cross them and move on, she saw a corner ahead and a girl suddenly rushed out.

"Miss Delacour?" Maka just said it, but immediately pointed the wand in her hand at the other party, "No, you are not Delacour, who are you?"

The other party's expression changed and he hurriedly stopped.

When Maka first saw her, she immediately felt a strange feeling rising in her heart. However, it was not the Veela's unique attraction to the opposite sex, but something quite similar, but different.

Something completely different.

That feeling is like...

"...Is this, **?" Maka frowned slightly, with some judgment in her mind, "Are you a succubus?"

"I didn't expect that besides Dumbledore, there would be someone who could recognize us succubi..." The other party glanced at Maccad a few more times curiously, and then said, "Young man, although he doesn't look very handsome, but he looks...

Cold...do you have a good temperament?"

"I didn't expect that there are still succubi left in this world," Maka said thoughtfully, "I thought you were completely extinct?"

"You're not polite in what you say. Little guy, don't you know how to be polite?"

"Of course you can be polite if you want me to..." Maka said, suddenly raising her eyebrows, and a very thin red light quickly shot out from the tip of the staff and landed accurately on the foot of the other party who had just moved, "Don't move...

…How about I ask you a question, and then you do your thing and I do mine?”

"Can I ask you a question first?" The other party rolled his eyes and said depressedly, "Why is my charm talent completely ineffective on you? How did you do it?"

Maka shook her head and said: "It's not completely ineffective, it's just that the effect is very weak."

The succubus' talent for charm can indeed arouse men's physical desire, but if Maka's emotions are not affected, the charm effect will naturally be weakened by most of it.

"As for how to do it... this is the second question. I don't think I need to answer it." He continued, "It's my turn to ask. The question is very simple - what is the principle of your succubus' talent for changing appearance?"

"Principle?" The other party thought for a while, then spread his hands and said, "I don't understand the principle. I can only tell you that what you see of me is just a 'shell'."

The "shell" she mentioned was of course not the real shell, as Maka quickly figured it out.

"In other words, is this actually an illusion talent?" He couldn't help but mutter to himself.

It is said that the "disguise magus talent" that can naturally change one's appearance is derived from the succubus (female) and the nightmare (male) - Maka has seen it in several magic books.

He was quite curious about this talent, but he never knew how to start researching it.

Whether it is the rare Disguise Magus talent, or the even rarer Succubi and Nightmares that are said to be extinct, they cannot be found easily.

But now, he encountered a real succubus in the maze of the Triwizard Tournament. Why didn't he hurry up and find out why?

But looking at it now, this rumor is probably just a rumor - Disguise Magus is a talent spell that is closer to transfiguration, while Succubus's talent for disguise is illusion. There is obviously a gap between the two.

It has nothing to do with it.

"Can I go?" The succubus who turned into Fleur asked again, spreading her hands.

"Of course, please!" Maka pointed to the way he came, then passed her and left first.

The succubus looked back at Maka's back, feeling a little scared in her heart.

The frontal combat ability of succubi is extremely low. Although their body's magic resistance is not low, their physical and magical power are very poor. Once a head-on conflict occurs, it will be difficult for them to fight back.

Fortunately, there are very few people like Maka who are almost immune to charm, so the classification level of succubi has always been ranked high. Even though they are now close to extinction, they are still listed in the "XXXXX" classification

Famous!

"It's just an old man like Dumbledore. At least he has both strength and age... But what's going on with this little guy?" She said with great confusion, "First, bad luck went awry, and now he's been beaten.

How can you play with a child who is being crushed so hard? I’m done with it!”

Having said that, she simply squatted on the spot - her ruffian look, coupled with Furong's elegant appearance, was indescribably weird.
