harry potter book of crimes

The development outside the castle is continuing along the path in Maka's memory. In about ten minutes, the mysterious ancient mirror will recreate the disaster in Hogwarts.

This disaster is inevitable - at least for Maka, it is inevitable. If the ancient mirror does not appear this time, it means that everything Maka has done is in vain. The futility is not terrible, the terrible thing is

, the meaning of his tracing back the long river of time will therefore disappear.

Without that mirror, Tamarka would not have appeared here. This cause and effect was an absolute rule that must be followed. If the rules were exceeded, then he didn't know what would happen to everything.

Therefore, he needs to wait and rely on the constant consumption of magic power to wait for the end of this time loop before he can proceed with his next plan.

To be honest, Maka was very lucky. He was lucky that he was cautious enough and didn't even come to Hogwarts Castle to take a look at the situation, which gave him a room for redemption.

Thinking of this, he lowered his head and looked at the old man and the young man lying on the stone steps. These two people were purely accidental. Although he felt a little sorry for them, he still chose to use the magic potion to catch them off guard.

It's just that the medicine was a bit heavy this time. After all, Slughorn was also a master of potions. Even though he had the advantage of surprise, he was still a little worried.

Fortunately, there may be some side effects when they wake up, but at least he can give them a forgetting spell or something in a while. Compared with saving the fate of Hogwarts, making them suffer a little is nothing.

However, just when Maka was about to calm down and stabilize the power of the soul rules in preparation for resisting the coming shock in the near future, a series of "quacking" noises made his mind stop.

The sound only sounded in the distance at first, but in the blink of an eye, it suddenly reached his ears. Then, out of the corner of his eye, he quickly caught a glimpse of a gray-green shadow flashing past, and then he felt a slight movement on his shoulder.

A sinking.

"Quack quack - soul! The breath of soul rules! It is indeed your boy... quack quack! You... Huh? Huh? Why has your boy grown so much taller?"

A burst of noise suddenly sounded in his ears, and Maka's expression suddenly changed, and a lot of information flashed through his mind in an instant.

This voice is very familiar, and it is difficult to forget it once you hear it. Obviously, the thing standing on his shoulder at this moment is the long-awaited bronze eagle.

In other words, it is the key to the Chamber of Secrets left by Rowena Ravenclaw.

"Why are you here?" Maka suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and asked calmly.

The bronze eagle that suddenly appeared stood on his shoulder. It was only a little bigger than the sparrow in terms of size, but the meaning it represented was extraordinary.

It is not only the key to the Ravenclaw Chamber of Secrets, but also the so-called "Guide of the Candidates". As for where exactly it wants to guide Maka...

From the moment Maka got the "Book of Sin", this question seemed to have an answer. But whether the answer was correct or not was unknown.

"It's the breath of soul rules! Quack..." The bronze eagle stood on his shoulder, tilted its little head and looked at him carefully, but continued in a chirping voice, "That's right, you are the talent.

Are you exposed to the rules of the soul? Maybe you can understand that you, Master Ying, and I are based on the rules of the soul... Huh?"

The little eagle was still chirping non-stop, but suddenly it inexplicably stopped and let out a startled sound again.

"...Time rules? You...what are you going to do?" This time, its words were full of surprise and consternation, "When were you? Oops...how long have I been asleep?

?”

Maka didn't speak, he just frowned slightly, his mind full of chaotic thoughts.

He knew that the Bronze Eagle might have felt the hourglass of the time turner, and the gravel in the hourglass must be related to the rules of time. But he didn't have the heart to think about this kind of thing now.

But Maka could remain silent, but the bronze eagle couldn't change its habit of chattering. Seeing that he was silent and seemed to be thinking about something, the eagle immediately fluttered its wings and patted his neck.

"Boy, what are you thinking about? I see that you can even try to use the soul rules. The last test should have been completed long ago, right? You... Oh, no... After all, what are you now?

Who were you then? You are not who you are now..."

"...Not long after, that is, a few hours later," Maka finally spoke, "As for the last test, it has indeed been a while since now."

When he said this, there was no expression on his face, and I didn't know what he was thinking.

"Really? Then why didn't you come to me immediately? Well... forget it! Gaga, it's your business when you come to me, Rowena didn't say what time you have to set..." Bronze Little Eagle

He tilted his head, and his voice seemed a little cheerful, "Anyway, are you ready to accept the next test?"

Hearing this, Maka was about to say something, but he just opened his mouth, but as if he realized something, he suddenly tightened his grip on the staff in his hand.

"I think we'd better talk about those things later..." He said in a deep voice with a serious face.

Before he finished speaking, the mysterious and obscure wave suddenly appeared from outside the castle, passing through the surrounding space in the blink of an eye and spreading into the distance.

He knew that the most critical part of this plan was about to begin!

"Huh?"

The bronze eagle was also stunned, and let out the third sound of surprise today. But then it screamed for a while, and the sound was accompanied by some kind of panic, as if it was anxious to see the sky falling.

"No, no! Ga? How could it be? That broken mirror..." It just called out a few times, and said hurriedly, "What... happened? It's messed up... it's all messed up... Ga... Eagle

I'll withdraw first! Hold on, you boy! Hogwarts depends entirely on you..."

Before he finished speaking, the bronze eagle disappeared on Maka's shoulder just as it came.

This little guy came so quickly, but he didn't expect to go faster. Even Maka was confused. But he didn't have time to think about it now, because he still remembered his plan to go back in time. If this plan fails,

, then all his efforts will be in vain!

"coming soon!"

Maka paused, immediately put aside her chaotic thoughts, and concentrated on controlling the rule rune on the top of the staff that represented the soul.

Sure enough, almost as soon as the next second came, a violent shock passed by in an instant. It was as if the entire space had shrunk to a certain place, and the force was amazingly strong. But that kind of power only targeted the soul.

, without the slightest impact on other things.

Maka had already experienced this kind of terror personally before, but now, as he was driving the rules of the soul, he obviously had an even more obvious reaction than last time.

Just with this first shock, he felt that the soul rule rune was on the verge of collapse. It wasn't that the rule rune didn't work, it was simply that his grasp of the soul rule was not in place.

Just at the top of his staff, the rune couldn't help but look a little blurry, and it had a tendency to become scattered under the shock just now. It was originally outlined by him using magic power to form a thread. How effective can it be?

, completely related to his understanding of the meaning of the rules.

Like the cooling runes, Maka can outline them to an almost solid state. This is because he has a fairly in-depth interpretation of the cooling rules of matter. But as for the rules of the soul, he is still in a state of confusion.

To the extent of having only a half-knowledge.

However, now that things have happened, he no longer wants to give up, and he can't give up.

In any case, at least he had resisted the first shock. He used the power of the soul rules to stabilize the souls of everyone in the castle, and the results were still there!

Before the next shock hit, Maka did not hesitate anymore, but gritted her teeth and controlled the magic power again, and began to draw the rune on the top of the staff again.

Whether the shock comes faster or whether he strengthens the soul rune faster depends on this move.

"boom!"

That was not the sound of the soul being shaken out of the body, but the sound of Maka's heartbeat. Just before the second wave of shock suddenly passed by, the soul rune was forcibly stabilized by him.

There's still time!

Although it could barely hold on, and the runes had to be reinforced again and again to prevent them from falling apart in the shock. But he knew that at least it should be able to withstand it before the magic power was consumed.

As long as he can hold on, the plan will not fail. And as long as he can hold on until the retrospect time has passed, he can take the next step.

So, Maka put her left hand into her pocket, quickly took out a small gadget that looked like a glass ball, and casually smashed it on the steps at her feet.

"Crack!"

The glass ball fell on the stone steps and was smashed into pieces. And in the shattered glass ball, a large number of translucent shadows suddenly appeared, and hurriedly flew towards the south side of the lake.

.

Maka looked at everything in front of her and pursed her lips in silence.

In his ears, there was still the ticking sound of the time turner. This sound had always been with him since he decided to start going back in time, but now it seemed to be particularly long.

At this moment, Maka stood on the stone steps, the staff in his hand motionless, just like his body that, although not tall and strong, had always been extremely calm.

And around his body, the circle of magic words like a faint blue chain still existed, and it continued to circle even as it rotated slightly.

"Click...click...click..."

The ticking sound sounded unhurriedly.
