That day, Madam Pomfrey ultimately failed to satisfy Joshua's wish to see Maka. Because just early this morning, Maka had left Hogwarts alone.

This time, the place he wanted to go did not have the location coordinates of the door key set in advance. For this reason, he had to set off as early as possible, using Albania, the coordinate point closest to the destination, as a transit point, and spent the entire morning flying at high speed.

above.

And when Maka successfully arrived at the destination despite the sea breeze, Joshua had just woken up from the hospital bed in the school hospital.

"It seems like... there aren't many changes here?"

Maka landed on an open beach. The sand washed by the tide day and night looked particularly fine, and there was a rustling sound when walking on it.

This is an island located in the central waters of the Mediterranean Sea. It is also the long-lost hometown in Maca’s memory.

Even if you are standing on the edge of the island, you only need to look far into the center of the island to see a tall spire tower rising from the ground, with a soft white light emitting from the top of the tower.

Although it had been a long time since Maka last came here, he still clearly remembered that it was best not to fly casually on this island.

He walked quickly through the dense jungle on the island, and along the way he discovered that the magical creatures living here were still as diverse as in the past, but the number did not seem to have much difference. Apparently they had been maintained at a stable and stable level.

and within the natural ecological structure.

Maka, who was running, accelerated again, nimbly dodging the dense trees, and soon passed through the vibrant island jungle.

Not long after, when his eyes widened, the eye-catching tower appeared in his sight again.

The many pointed huts extending out from the outer wall of the tower have not changed in any way from what we saw at the beginning, except that there are obviously more green vines climbing on the curved wall than when we last came. They are some of the lower huts.

Almost the entire thing is covered with a layer of smooth vitality.

Maka raised her head and looked up at the eagle-shaped coat of arms on the top floor of the tower. The golden eagle on the black background had distinct colors and had not been stained by even a speck of dust under the maintenance of magic.

Seeing this huge coat of arms again, Maka's thoughts couldn't help but become a little complicated.

There are many ambiguities about Rowena Ravenclaw's knowledge, whether it is passed down orally or recorded in documents.

It would be better to say that there are relatively few very clear things.

But most of the rumors about Rowena are positive, which is an indisputable fact. There is no doubt that this is completely contrary to what Maka learned from the "Book of Sin".

To be honest, for Maka to be able to possess such strength now, the rune table attached at the back of the "Book of Sin" has been of great help. If he had to rely on himself to figure out the Scroll of Truth, he still doesn't know how long it would take him to understand the rules.

What a level of strength!

He had no choice but to believe the content recorded in the "Book of Sin" and the warnings conveyed by his future self.

But just as he once almost caused a catastrophe because of a plan, he can't guarantee that his future self will not make mistakes. In fact, he understands very well, even if he is holding a reminder from the future in his hand

, but every step he takes now still needs to be carefully explored by himself.

Therefore, even though he now has the strength to clear many obstacles, and even though he still has doubts about whether Rowena is a madman who pursues the destruction of the world, he has never even approached Raven at Hogwarts Castle again.

Crow Tower Step.

From the existence of the Bronze Eagle, we can know that his magic research is far from Rowena's level. Before he can understand that kind of magic, he will not get involved in it easily.

And the upper level of the tall tower in front of him was the same for him.

"...Elves, I'm here to see you!"

Standing in the open space in front of the tower, Maka cast a sound amplification spell on himself, and then immediately shouted. But the language he used sounded strange.

During this period of time, whenever he had free time, he would open books to study and study, even consuming a large amount of intelligence-enhancing drugs, just for this moment.

Learning a language is very hard, but learning an ancient language is even more difficult.

When he first came here and found that he could not talk to the elves, he had the idea of ​​studying that language.

But later, when he left the island, he gave up again.

The elves here are obviously very different from the house elves in the outside world. If it weren't for the fact that there was not much difference in appearance, it would be difficult for him to connect the two.

For the elves living here, perhaps knowing nothing about the outside magical world is the most suitable future for them.

Because of this, Maka originally had no intention of studying this language that was of little use. In his opinion, letting them stay here and reproduce quietly seemed to be a good choice.

But just recently, when Maka discovered that the defense force of Hogwarts was quite empty, he was a little overwhelmed and once again took up the idea of ​​these wild elves on the island.

"Xiao Jing——"

Seeing that there seemed to be no movement around him, Maka was about to shout again. But just as he was shouting, before he had time to finish, he heard a crackling sound in the space around him, and a large number of elves apparated and appeared in front of him.

Beside him.

Their number was so large that they immediately surrounded him.

"Oops! Humans are calling us—"

"Wow! I finally saw a human again! Look at him, he is looking at me!"

"Isn't this the same person who came last time? I remember, I remember - I remember the smell of his magic!"

"Yes, yes! He has grown taller again, much taller than the last time he came here!"

"Isn't he the human from last time? His magic power is a bit cool, chilly——"

The elves gathered Maka in the middle, talking in all directions, fast and messy, just like setting off firecrackers, which made people dizzy listening to them.

Maka studied hard, but now he realized that it was still a very difficult task to fully understand what they were saying.

"Wait!" Maka opened her arms and shouted loudly, "Speak slower - what you are saying - I just learned -"

"Hahaha! He said, 'I just learned it', hahahaha -" an elf pointed at Maka, laughing so hard, "Only my grandfather's grandfather's grandfather would say that! No, it's my grandfather's grandfather's.

Grandpa’s grandpa…”

"I wouldn't say that! My dear grandson -" Another elf slapped his friend hard and bent down to pretend to be old-fashioned, "No, it's the grandson's grandson's grandson."

grandson..."

Maka looked a little baffled as she watched these elves laughing crazily.

“Get out of the way—get out of the way, everyone!”

Just when he was confused, an old goblin pushed aside the little guys who were close together and slowly came to Maka.

"Everyone be quiet! This is a guest!" the elf elder said seriously, "Have you forgotten the rules your parents and elders taught you? We, the elf clan, don't need people who don't understand the rules!"

This scolding caused all the young goblins to immediately shut their mouths, and the noisy scene immediately calmed down.

"Hello, are you...the patriarch here?" Maka asked as clearly as possible, strictly following the language rules recorded in the book.

"No, I'm not," the elder elf gently shook his head. The passing years made the originally sharp elf's voice become older and deeper. "There is no longer a clan leader on this island.

I already have the same position, I’m just relatively older.”

"Is it related to... Rowena?" Maka asked curiously, "Oh, I mean - Rowena, Mira, you should know?"

"Yes, I know." The little elf elder nodded slightly, "But the matter of not having a clan leader has nothing to do with Rowena Mila -"

He paused and then continued: "She is the founder of this island, and our ancestors only have some agreements with her. In addition to the most basic daily maintenance of her magic tower, I

There has never been any other mutual interference between me and her."

"The reason why we don't have a clan leader is just because of a rule of our elf clan."

While the elf elder was speaking, Maka pricked up her ears and listened attentively, understanding. Although it was still a little difficult, at least it was much better than the buzzing and chaotic scene just now.

"Are there any rules?" Maka thought for a while and said, "Then I won't ask casually... By the way, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is 'Maka McLean', from a country in the northwest.

.”

"Human wizard! Lark, I say hello to you!" The elder elf bowed slightly and said, "You are my long-lost guest, please come and sit in the room! The elf will send you a sweet spring.

"

Surrounded by the elves, Maka followed the elder elves and stepped into this ancient wizard tower again after the last time.

The furnishings on the lowest floor of the tower remain the same as before, and the circular hall is spotless. The bricks and stones paved under the feet are tightly arranged, and the tapestries on the surrounding walls are beautifully woven, but the picture frames are all blank, which makes people feel a little lonely.

When Maka walked in with the elves, with a wave of the elder elf's hand, the lamps on the wall were lit one by one, and the soft magical light illuminated the originally dull hall.

"Young wizard! We take the place of our long-departed master, Rowena Mila, and welcome you back!"
