Chapter 1495 Carefully Arranged Trap
"Um, haha... 'As long as it doesn't cause so much chaos in this world'?"
Maca's more or less sincere remarks seemed to hit Haierbo's point of laughter, making him laugh softly.
But soon, Hai Erbo shook his head, and then said:
"Sorry! I didn't mean to be rude when I suddenly laughed...McLean, I can actually understand your feelings-yes, including me, I am afraid that no one in this world would like to make yourself so much out of thin air. Many obstacles. So far, many facts have proved that my existence is indeed a huge trouble for you... I really should say 'sorry' to you for causing you so much trouble."
Even if it sounds like a hypocritical tone, I have to admit that these words... well, except for the two "sorry" before and after, the rest are indeed sincere speeches from Hai Erbo.
After all, the two of them have very similar attitudes towards magic research. And none of the so-called "true wizards" like them who try to take the path of magic to the extreme are willing to waste time on useless things.
However, Haierbo suddenly spread his hands, looked at Maca and said:
"It's a pity, though, that the chaos I've caused seems inevitable, even though I didn't mean to. Like—"
At this point, he lowered his head a little, and looked over and over at his current black devil's hand. Then, he suddenly raised his hand and stretched it towards Maca.
"Look! In order to get this 'forbidden' power and to feel the true meaning of the soul rule, I have to summon the demon, don't I? However, in order to complete the demon summoning technique, a huge amount of life must be sacrificed , Using the 'sin' in their souls as...how should I say it? 'A tribute to the devil'? Hmm...perhaps 'food' would be a more appropriate description."
When he said this, Hai Erbo smiled again, and then continued:
"All in all, if you gain something, you must sacrifice something. What I need and what I pursue can only be obtained by exchanging other prices... That's why I said just now that those chaos and turmoil, chasing The bottom line is not from my original intention. McLean, I think if it was you, you should understand me, right?"
When Haierbo was saying these words, Maca stood not far away, listening quietly. When the other party finally finished his speech and turned to him for sympathy, he shrugged his shoulders in response.
"If you have to say it, your words... well, maybe it's not incomprehensible. If you don't mind,
I'll just sum it up—"
As he was speaking, Maca spread his hands and said calmly:
"To put it bluntly, it's 'selfish'!"
Before the words fell, before Hai Erbo interrupted, he immediately followed the previous sentence:
"There is a saying that you are right - 'whatever you gain, you must sacrifice'. If you want to gain something, you often need to pay an equal or even greater price. However, your 'sacrifice' seems to be Isn't it quite different from the 'sacrifice' in ordinary people's concept?"
However, after hearing Maca's dark and stinging teasing, Haierbo nodded his head as if he had suddenly realized.
"Oh! That's right... It's true when you put it that way." He smiled and said, "But isn't it impossible? In ancient Greek, the meaning of 'sacrifice' is only 'Sacrifice'! I have never had the concept of 'self-sacrifice' in my mind!"
As the topic gets deeper and deeper, the "real" part of Haierbo's discourse has gradually disappeared. Especially the last remark, it is already a kind of sophistry at all.
And this may show that Haierbo may have some interest in the matter of "talking with McClain" at the beginning, but as he talked, the interest he held quickly faded away.
Realizing this, Maca immediately nodded slightly, then suddenly closed his eyes and said loudly:
"Professor McGonagall, I don't think you need to come in."
Just after saying this, the magic staff suddenly appeared from his palm, and then slammed on the ground.
"clang--"
The clinking sound of the end of the staff on the ground suddenly reverberated in the empty dragon's nest, and spread throughout the entire cave at once.
The next moment, 90% of the ground in the Dragon's Nest instantly burst into a large number of cracks of various thicknesses, revealing a large number of rune symbols and zigzag lines flowing with faint blue brilliance just under the surface rocky ground.
I remember that before Maca left Hogwarts, he would come to this dragon's lair for a long time, staying for half a day. And what he did besides conducting magic research here, now I think it should be this huge rune pattern.
When the faint brilliance covered the entire dragon cave, Haierbo sighed slightly.
"As expected, it is McLean, the excellent self-created magic circle... If you are given a few more years, it is really hard to imagine how refined you will be! Oh, if you were born in our era, perhaps Master Andros Maybe your title of 'Invincible' will belong to you!"
After saying this, Hai Erbo suddenly moved his arms as if trying to break free.
And at that moment, the outlines of a large number of chains suddenly appeared in the space around his body that was originally empty and only filled with faint blue light.
Those magic chains seemed to be invisible under normal conditions, only when Hai Erbo, who was tightly bound, tried to struggle, they would show up slightly.
In other words, the moment the rune array hidden under the ground by Maca was activated, Haierbo was already trapped by chains.
If it weren't for Hai Erbo, it would be difficult for the others to notice that they were tied up in the first place.
"Hmm... there seem to be some familiar rules here!" Haierbo shook his arm again, feeling the power attached to the chain that appeared and disappeared, and said casually, "Oh, I remembered, it's France. The sealing magic of the heir to ancient magic? It's called... what is it?"
However, just as he was talking and recalling, Maca frowned and said:
"Haierbo, it's really rare... You seem to talk a lot today?"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly swung the staff in his hand from top to bottom, as if he was about to smash some heavy object on the top of the opponent's head.
"I can't give you that mirror today, but there is a 'gift' somewhat similar to it. It's up to you whether you like it or not."
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud "boom" resounded through the entire Dragon Nest.
