Chapter fifty-six waves in calm

This second experience was even more unreasonable than the first.

Perhaps because he has seen Maka's unwillingness to cooperate, or for other reasons, this action is much more restrictive.

Although he can take the initiative to carry out some activities at ordinary times, if there is any deviation from the mission goal, the invisible power of control will immediately appear. So more often, Maka can only act as an audience from the first-person VIP perspective.

.

This feeling is very strange and has a strong sense of violation.

He could clearly feel any behavior, any mental activity, and even the sensory experience brought about by each movement by Alani, but he could not make any intervention in it.

What's more worth mentioning is that even from a rational perspective, two different people will have different judgment standards.

"Only from a rational point of view?" Maka was confused by her own thoughts.

Obviously, he felt something was wrong - he never thought about problems solely from a rational perspective, and this was not in line with his philosophy at all.

Watching the scenery in front of me keep changing, from riding on horseback to the Bahat Tower, the capital of the Seljuk Dynasty, and then to the royal palace. It can be said that Alani's actions are more simple and direct than his, but also faster and more concise.

.

Until Alani pretended to be a Sunni, stepped forward to speak, and assassinated the target person in one fell swoop, a wail from the soul suddenly broke out.

"What's going on-" Maka thought for a moment and then reacted immediately.

"It's that dagger..."

He could feel that the mysterious dagger was torturing the soul of the person being stabbed!

According to the magic book about souls in the ** section of the Hogwarts library: Torturing the souls of the same kind can gain powerful power, but it will also cause your own soul to be shaken or even damaged.

There are many black magics spread in ancient times that were created using this theoretical characteristic - such as the long-lost method of making soul boxes.

Of course, there are also those who go in the opposite direction, such as the legendary dark wizard who invented the method of making Horcruxes by referring to the soul box theory - the despicable Haierbo.

While Maka was thinking about it, she realized that her entire field of vision had turned into a blanket of snowy white.

When he came to his senses again, he found that he had returned to the ancient and rough hall.

"Welcome back, young candidate."

The light around her body gradually faded. Maka looked at the woman with black hair and black eyes in front of her, and felt a similar aura from her for the first time.

Has she ever touched...that dagger?

"Rowner-Mira?" Maka asked.

The other party nodded slightly and said calmly: "Young candidate, this test may last for a long time. I hope you can pass it safely."

"What is the goal of this test?" Maka continued to ask.

But Rowena Mila shook her head and continued talking without answering his question.

"Remember, you must pass the test before you can proceed to the next step." Her expression was still calm, but the solemnity in her eyes became even more serious.

"When you get the response from the Bronze Eagle, you will know all the causes and consequences," she said. "I hope you will not follow in my footsteps..."

Before she finished speaking, Maka was about to continue asking. But in an instant, the hall suddenly began to deteriorate and soon returned to its original appearance.

As for Rowena Mila, she has completely lost her trace.

Life in the second year of Hogwarts is actually no different from the first year. Of course, except that there is a peacock-like Lockhart among the professors.

If there is anything different, it can only be said to be the changes in the Quidditch team.

First of all, Harry finally joined the Gryffindor house team in the second grade, and Ron was very excited about it; correspondingly, Malfoy also became the seeker of the Slytherin house team, and his father

Lucius even funded a batch of new Nimbus 2001s, for which he even mocked Harry.

But probably because he was still frightened by the lesson Maka gave him last semester, when Hermione retorted back, he glared at Hermione angrily, opened his mouth several times, but still chose to ignore it.

In addition, something big happened to the Hufflepuff team. That is, Maka actually submitted an application to withdraw from the team.

Although Maka was finally allowed to withdraw temporarily due to requests from members of the hospital team and even Dean Sprout, this was still a big pity for the entire Hufflepuff.

In fact, in addition to minimizing interference in the actions of the three little lions, he also needs a lot of time to study the knowledge and application of soul science.

If there is any clue so far, it is obviously about the mysterious power of that dagger.

Although I can't find any information about that thing no matter how much I search, I can't go wrong if I follow this clue.

"I am a Hufflepuff by nature, and being more low-key is the right way to go."

In the following days, except for class time, Maka spent the rest of her time in the corner of the library. Her whole person exuded the aura of being kept away from strangers. She was more like a Hufflepuff than a Hufflepuff.

Like a real Slytherin.

Hermione, who had often discussed with him in the library, had never dared to approach him because of the unknown factors in her heart.

This situation lasted until October.

Recently, a damp and cold air has been spreading all over the place, permeating the entire Hogwarts Castle all the time.

A cold suddenly broke out among staff and students, leaving Madam Pomfrey, the head nurse, scrambling. Her refreshing potion had an immediate effect, but those who drank it would have smoke coming from their ears for several hours.

Ginny Weasley has been feeling ill recently, and was forced by Percy to drink some refreshing potion. As a result, streams of steam came out from under her bright hair, and her whole head seemed to be on fire.

Harry, on the other hand, has been training on the Quidditch pitch during this period. No matter how hard it rains, Oliver Wood, the captain of the Gryffindor team, is always enthusiastic.

After all, Slytherin's batch of Nimbus 2001 put a lot of pressure on the team members.

In the blink of an eye, Halloween is coming...

Hermione herself didn't know why she didn't dare to go up and talk to him. As smart as she was, she couldn't tell what the reason was. She just felt that Maka seemed to have changed a little.

During the recent period, even Professor Gilderoy Lockhart, whom she particularly admired, had sometimes been hard to distract her from.

"What... happened to him?" Hermione sat on the other side of the library, looking at Maka who was immersed in writing, and hesitated secretly.

A few days ago, Harry was invited by Gryffindor's ghost, Nearly Headless Nick, to attend the ghosts' death anniversary party. She and Ron would also go.

In fact, she was looking forward to the party, after all, it was indeed very strange, and living people were rarely invited.

She really wanted to go over and ask Maka if she wanted to go with her.

Hermione hesitated on her seat for a long time, until it was almost evening, she clenched her fists and cheered herself up.

"Um...Maka." Hermione said softly.

But Maka, who was immersed in the information book, didn't even raise his head, as if he didn't hear, and was still focused on his own affairs.

"Maka," Hermione raised her voice a little louder, "Nearly Headless Nick invited Harry to the death anniversary party. I thought... wouldn't you go with him tomorrow night?"

Maka still didn't answer. He continued to record some information in his notebook, but after waiting for a while, Hermione never left.

He felt that someone was looking at him from other places, and he thought that ignoring them all the time was not an option, so he shook his head slightly.

Hermione felt confused when she saw that Maka didn't even want to raise her head.

"……OK."

After a long time, she left those words, turned around and left in a hurry, even forgetting to return the borrowed books on the reading table. Mrs. Pince's sharp shout could be heard faintly behind her, but she had no time at all.

Pay attention to it.

That night, it was still raining heavily outside the castle. Looking outside, it was as dark as if the windows were smeared with ink.

After all, Halloween is still one day away, and the Gryffindor common room is really brightly lit and the atmosphere is cheerful.

The firelight in the fireplace illuminated countless soft armchairs, where people sat reading, chatting, and doing homework. Fred and George, the Weasley brothers, were naturally not idle either - they were studying what to do.

What will happen if you give a salamander some hard-drawn fireworks?

Fred "rescued" this bright orange-red lizard from the Care of Magical Creatures class. At the moment, it was lying on a table burning sullenly, with a group of curious people gathering around it.

.

Just as Hermione pushed the door open, the salamander over there jumped into the air, spinning wildly in the room, crackling and releasing sparks, accompanied by some loud banging noises.

Percy scolded Fred and George in a hoarse voice, and his attitude looked exactly like Mrs. Weasley's.

The salamander's mouth sprays orange-red stars, which is very beautiful and spectacular.

With a series of explosions, it flew past Hermione who had just walked in, but Hermione directly took out her wand and cast a freezing spell on it.

She is in a very bad mood now!

"...What's wrong, Hermione?" Ron approached and asked cautiously.

"Leave me alone!" Hermione shook her head and walked quickly to the girls' dormitory, quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.

"What's wrong with her?" Ron turned around and asked Harry with an embarrassed look on his face.

"How do I know?" Harry shrugged, indicating that he was also confused.

After thinking about it, they didn't have any clues, so they had to go back to sleep - Harry's recent training was very intense, and he was really sleepy now.

"I remember that Hermione went to the library just now..." Ron suddenly thought as he passed the entrance of the women's dormitory, "Maybe... it's because of Maka?"

Although Ron is not smart, despite his understanding of Maka, he also feels that Maka has become somewhat alienated from them recently. Especially, Maka seems to have never been with them recently.
