Chapter 1097 Blood Curse Host

? "Maledictus?"

This is not a name - when Maca heard this word from Luna, he immediately felt as if he had heard or seen it somewhere.

And after he thought about it for a while, he suddenly found a concept of magic that was similar to Animagus on the surface but completely different in essence from part of his memory not long ago.

I remember that at the beginning, he made a lot of efforts to relieve Willy's troubles, including searching for ancient documents and materials everywhere.

It was also at that time that he saw a special type of curse magic called "Blood Curse" in a magic book that recorded various powerful curses.

When Maca saw that page, he thought he had finally found a valuable clue about the curse of the bloodline of the Bulova family.

But after he read it carefully, he found that it was indeed a "bloodline curse", but it was another type completely different from the curse in Willie's body.

However, because of this, he intentionally or unintentionally memorized the part of the information about the "blood curse" in his mind.

Now, Maca, who has dug out the relevant memories again, quickly found a certain piece of text records he needed.

"'Meledicus' is not a name." Maca frowned slightly, and thought carefully before saying, "It's a collective name for people who have been hit by the 'Blood Curse'. And the Blood Curse, and It is a type of blood curse that allows humans to switch between humans and animals at will."

Having said that, he couldn't help shaking his head slightly - since this kind of magic is classified as a "curse", it is obviously not something harmless.

He still remembered that it was also recorded in the magic book at that time that it was said that people who had been cursed would gain abilities similar to Animagus before reaching a certain age.

But because the animal blood in the cursed person's body is constantly eroding the host itself, so after a certain number of years, the probability of the alien blood becoming the host will become higher and higher.

Therefore, after that, their shape-shifting abilities will become increasingly unstable, and they will often lose control intermittently.

For the cursed, every year will be a torment.

So until one day, when the cursed people lose control of their abilities again and transform from a human body into an animal body uncontrollably, they will completely turn into animals, and they will never be able to return to their human form.

And what's even more frightening is that,

Bloodline-based curses like this are usually hereditary!

"A curse that allows people to switch between humans and animals at will?"

Luna was taken aback by what Maca said, as if she was very curious about this kind of magic. But she is also a sixth-year student at Hogwarts, and she is quite clear about what a "curse" is.

"Well," Maca nodded and said, "Actually, this blood curse should have been lost. Perhaps it is an ancient wizard like Haierbo who knows that this curse has long been submerged in the long river of history." black magic."

If Maca was a little surprised at how Haierbo completely transformed a human into an animal at first, now he finally understands the process.

That's right, if Haierbo can use this magic that no longer exists in the modern magic world, the possibility of transforming a snake into a basilisk is obviously much easier than directly turning a living person into a basilisk.

After all, in this way, the difference in blood between the two will not be so great that it is almost impossible to merge.

It's just... As far as Maca knows, this kind of blood curse has a very long effect on people. According to the records in the book, it will take at least ten years for the irreversible deformation to occur.

"Maybe, Haierbo specially improved the blood erosion speed of the blood curse in order to shorten the time?"

Putting aside this somewhat irrelevant question for the time being, Maca raised his arm again, and gestured to Luna again.

"Ask her again for me—or the same question at the beginning, ask her if she knows what the 'crawler' she said wants her to do?"

Although it is necessary to communicate through Luna, this is obviously very inconvenient. But there is no way, Maca really wants to get more and more valuable information from this woman who has turned into a basilisk.

As for Maca's request, Luna was naturally happy to help.

Immediately, she continued to lower her head, pursed her mouth and winked at the basilisk. Maca knew that she was actually working hard in her own way to ensure that the words in her mind were accurately conveyed to the Basilisk's heart.

Not long after, the basilisk hissed again, causing Luna's expression to change several times.

"What did she say this time?" Maca asked curiously.

But at the next moment, Luna just raised her head and replied simply:

"She said that Haierbo promised to help her restore her human form, and... she would also find the whereabouts of an old friend for her. As for what she was asked to do, she didn't seem to know, because every time Haierbo would only be in need Only then will she be given specific instructions."

"That means... the blood curse on her body wasn't cast by Hai Erbo?"

With the repeated questions and answers, the outline of the matter began to become clearer.

According to the basilisk, the matter is actually not complicated—the truth is that she and Haierbo reached a deal, and she used to work for Haierbo in exchange for the possibility of restoring her human body and reuniting with her old friend.

For Haierbo, this transaction may be a piece of cake.

After thinking about it like this, Maca's interest suddenly dropped.

To be honest, he originally thought that this basilisk and Hai Erbo would have a closer relationship. Because he still remembered that Haier Boben was the creator of the creature "Basilisk".

But who knows, what maintains the relationship between the two parties is just an ordinary transaction.

"By the way," Maka said somewhat disappointed, "By the way, you can ask me one more question, who does she want Hai Erbo to find for her?"

This time, however, the basilisk responded surprisingly quickly.

"She doesn't want to tell," Luna tilted her head, also slightly confused, "I've already told her that we can also help her find the 'old friend' she mentioned... But she just doesn't want to tell Who exactly are we?"

"Oh?"

Maca lowered his head slightly, and stared at the basilisk for a few more times.

"Hmm..." He couldn't help but wondered, "We don't want to help her find her. Does Hai Erbo have to be the one to find that person?"

Thinking of this, Maca couldn't help feeling a little bit of doubt—he was worried that this woman who had turned into a basilisk might have a relationship with Haierbo beyond his expectations, so that the other party didn't want to be with him at all. Tell the truth in front of you.

However, from the moment the basilisk fell into Maca's hands, everything would not depend on her will.

"Okay, since she doesn't want to talk, let's go here first!" Maka waved her hand and smiled at Luna, "The first class in the afternoon is coming to an end, I think you'd better Hurry back and get ready for class!"

Just as he was talking, he turned his head slightly again, and the sudden glance made Kevin who was standing there smile awkwardly.

"Is it Candice?"

Maca glanced at the corner of the wall, only to see that the little Muggle girl who was honestly standing with Kevin just now had sneaked over there to look at the pile of Maca in the corner. old newspapers.

In fact, that big stack was full of the Daily Prophet.

Although Maca hadn't renewed his fee for a long time, the newspaper still sent him one issue, which meant it was self-evident.

Hearing Maca calling her name, Candice, who was reading it with relish, quickly pushed back the newspaper in her hand, then turned around and looked at him with a flattering smile,

It seemed that she was actually a little afraid of Maca—worried that she would be blamed by Maca.

"Don't look at me like that," Maca said with a smile, "If you want to read it, take a few copies—let's go! Two little guys, I'll take you back to the school hospital... After all, I was the one who delayed you This 'big sister' has a lot of time, if she doesn't go to class, she will be late!"

After all, he waved his hand suddenly, and the originally closed door opened automatically, causing Candice and Kevin to be fussed.

And before going out, Maca lifted up his sleeves to reveal the cuffs, and then cocked his chin at the basilisk. When the other party saw this, although he was obviously a little unhappy, he still obediently got in.

Looking at the procrastinating appearance of the other party, Maca couldn't help but muttered in a low voice:

"I'll let you keep the secrets in your stomach for a few more days, and when everything is ready, I'll let you tell the truth about who your first love is..."

As a matter of course, he never had any worries about this guy who helped the evildoers... Even though she might be unknowingly weak in humanity only because of the blood curse, so that after killing so many people Still take it easy.

"Maca?"

In the corridor outside the door, Luna who just ran out suddenly turned her head and looked straight at her with her big silver-gray eyes.

"Why do you want to know who her first love is?"

"Oh, did you hear that?" Maca said dumbfounded, "It's just a metaphor, don't worry about it!"

While talking, he also left the room with the two children, leading them towards the stairs. But when the three of them separated from Luna in front of the stairs and went to the school hospital on the second floor, they bumped into two familiar figures on the way.

"Mr. Malfoy, Miss Parkinson?" Maca suddenly chuckled, "...Don't you have the first class in the afternoon?"
