Chapter 1633 Volunteered

"...It is true that there is no magical reaction, as if... there is nothing here at all?"

A huge mystery is being sealed in this stone box hidden under the Hufflepuff Chamber of Secrets.

It is not only the last clue since Maca embarked on the path of "candidate", but also the only answer that can unravel what happened to the four founders of Hogwarts back then.

And more importantly, it seems to be the ultimate reason why Haierbo has tried everything possible to make so many troubles since he escaped from the ground... Well, let's not mention the "rule of death" that the other party has been talking about, this stone box At least it was "one of" his real goals.

From Rowena's husband trying to use the power of meteorites to destroy the Devouring Mirror after thousands of years, to Haierbo transferring the formation of guiding meteorites to the gate of Hogwarts, and then to him using the demon summoning technique to make himself powerful The body of the demon, and use it to resist the meteorite hitting Hogwarts Castle.

Even the battle between Haierbo and the bronze eagle that Maca couldn't see, thinking about it now, it seems that they didn't escape Haierbo's plot.

To be honest, if someone came to tell him that the stone box was not in Haierbo's plan, Maca would never believe it.

That's right, perhaps even the matter of forcing Haierbo away and finding the stone box by himself was still Haierbo's trick.

"No, now that it's all over, I'm afraid I can't even say it's a 'conspiracy'... This has become a 'public conspiracy' at all."

Right now, Maca is sitting by the cauldron. He held the not-very-heavy stone box in one hand, and looked at the line of warning on the box. The depression in his heart had been lingering since the night the meteorite fell.

Obviously, the secrets hidden in this stone box are too relevant to him - so big that even if he knows that Hai Erbo may be expecting him to open it, he still can't help but want to find out.

After all, this thing was left behind by Rowena and Helga, and it was obviously reserved for the "candidates". Once it was opened, the large number of questions that had puzzled him so far would probably all be answered.

"'Do not open this box unless you are ready'."

The words engraved on the stone box made Maca even more want to open it immediately to see what was inside.

And that's when,

Maca suddenly raised his head and subconsciously glanced at the end of the corridor outside.

"call--"

The next moment, he let out a slight breath, put the stone box back into the bag on his waist, and with a wave of his hand, he lifted the spell left on the door.

Not long after, with the sound of footsteps, the door of the potion preparation room was knocked.

"come in!"

Before the words were finished, the door opened gently, and Delphi walked in from the outside.

"dad."

"Well," Maca nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "What's the matter? Didn't I say that the repetitive tasks in the potion preparation process will be reduced a lot, and I'll be more than enough for myself—" Look! I just need to wait on the sidelines, if I don’t have to watch the whole time just in case, I guess you might not be able to see me when you come over.”

When Delphi heard this, he couldn't help but glanced at the crucible that was beeping softly, and then said:

"I know... Dad, I just wanted to talk to you... about Miss Granger and the others."

"Ok?"

When Maca heard this, she couldn't help but tilt her head, and said curiously:

"Hermione and the others? What's the matter?"

But he had just finished asking, and then he seemed to think of something, and raised his eyebrows in a daze.

"Oh! Could it be that it's about this potion?"

However, Delphi paused with some hesitation.

"It can be said that," she thought for a while, "but, fundamentally... I think you know that Miss Granger and the others are worried about you."

In fact, when Hermione and the others were talking in the garden just now, Delphi happened to pass by and overheard some. Although she didn't hear all of it, the worry about Maca's concealment of the effect of the potion and the doubts about the relationship between Delphi and Maca had more or less fallen into her ears.

Of course, since Maca has already "vaccinated" everyone, as far as her life experience is concerned, I am afraid that no one will suspect that she is going to the little Delphi who is now in the Blois Castle.

So, she didn't pay much attention to it - even Hermione's guess was almost a tiny bit away from the truth.

"This is indeed a difficult problem." After Delphi roughly talked about the conversation she overheard, Maca shrugged her shoulders and said, "I really don't want to make everyone worry about me. I saw it. It's a pity that Hermione and the others are very smart, no matter how well I cover it up, they might not be able to discover it."

Just as he was talking, Maca suddenly spread his hands again.

"However, compared to worrying about this, I don't want them to know what I'm doing... How should I put it? 'Wonderful things'?"

"dad--"

Seeing that Delphi wanted to persuade, Maca immediately waved her hand, signaling that she didn't have to excuse herself.

"This is the truth," Maca said with a smile, "Although my purpose is not bad, it is undeniable that the Muggles who were subjected to the experiment had to suffer unparalleled pain and even died. cruelty."

Moreover, considering the difficulty and danger of this research, there will inevitably be more accidents in the subsequent reagent tests. The Muggle guard who died because of this was the first, but probably won't be the last.

However, just after Maca finished speaking, he saw Delphi in front of him and said seriously:

"Daddy, can I take part in this experiment, too?"

"Huh? Didn't you already participate? You have been helping me prepare the reagents for the past few days!"

"No, Dad, I mean... as the 'subject'..."

Delphi's idea was something Maca had never expected. And after he was stunned for a moment, Delphi saw Macadam and said in astonishment:

"What are you talking about! How is this possible?"

However, Delphi still looked at him calmly and asked softly:

"Why is it impossible? Dad, you see—I'm a Muggle now, aren't I? Moreover, since I was a wizard once, and I have enough mental power, reawakening the magic power is undoubtedly better than a real person who has not experienced a magic riot." Muggle difficulty is lower. As a modern-day Muggle, the value of my participation in the experiment is high."

What Delphi said was obviously correct, so at this moment, Maca could only express his rejection by simply shaking his head.

Using Delphi as an experiment, this kind of thing is of course unacceptable to Maca.
