Chapter 1676 Fragile Items
"Mr. McLean, why did we come here?" Looking at the rock debris and soil blocks and the collapsed and blocked tomb passages everywhere around him, Ens couldn't help asking Maca, "And why did we have to go so deep? place to go?"
Yes, that's the problem - if you just want to find an inaccessible place to study the Devouring Mirror, there are many places for Maca to choose from. And that being the case, why did he have to come to this underground palace that once sealed Hai Erbo?
However, Maka's answer was unexpectedly simple.
"Isn't it just to dig out his soul wooden coffin?" Maca, who was walking in front, waved away the rocks and dirt that blocked the way forward, and said casually, "You told me this! Isn't it?"
"what!"
Hearing this, Ensi couldn't help but nodded in surprise.
That's right, just because Haierbo mentioned to him that the wooden coffin that Slytherin used to seal him back then came from the special species of soul wood that Hufflepuff had planted himself. That's why Maca decided to come here for a walk.
Soul wood is a very rare magical tree species. In this era, he has never seen it in places other than some hand-painted illustrations in ancient times, not once.
Therefore, if you want to get the soul wood, it seems that you can only come to this place.
Right now, Maca is constantly cleaning the tomb passage, leading Ensi towards the depths of the underground palace - he has been here many times earlier to study the Bewitching Stele. Although this underground palace is quite huge, and now many tomb passages have collapsed and been destroyed, he still knows exactly how to get to the main tomb room where the Bewitching Stele was originally stored.
"Boom—"
Perhaps when the huge rock was turned over, the supporting structure was accidentally damaged, and this section of the tomb suddenly trembled. As several remaining stone pillars broke suddenly, a large amount of bricks and sand fell from above the heads of the two of them.
"Be careful... float into the sky."
It has to be said that Ens is still quite assiduous in the training of casting spells. As soon as he saw a lot of bricks falling from the top, he almost reflexively pulled out his usual wand and cast a levitating spell upward.
"Oh, thanks."
Maca, who was about to fend off those falling rocks, immediately smiled at Ensi,
Then he suddenly raised his hand and raised it upwards.
Immediately, all the clods of bricks, stones and soil that had been falling frequently stopped for a while, and then rose again one after another, and were directly pushed back by a huge force.
Not long after, this section of the tomb passage that had collapsed badly was repaired by Maca in a somewhat "brutal" way.
"Okay, move on!"
After finishing all this, Maca waved his hand and walked forward. Behind him, Ensi hurriedly followed.
"Mr. McLean, why don't you use the Restoring Charm?" Ensi followed Maca not far away, reached out and touched the wall of the new tomb passage that was compacted by Maca, and asked with some doubts.
"Because it's unnecessary," Maca said, "I'm just here to pick up things, but I don't intend to renovate it as if it were my new home."
A moment later, as Maca continued to open the way ahead, the two people who had hardly stopped under their feet quickly walked to the end of the main tomb passage.
As Maca said before, along the way, Ensi has seen that many tombs are still intact, and have not collapsed due to the violent vibration when Haierbo broke free from the seal.
This is especially the case with the huge main tomb at the end, because it originally needed to store a huge monument of bewitching, so this tomb not only has a lot of space, but also has no stone pillar support at all.
The reinforcement magic here still maintains their proper effects, except for some areas that collapsed because they couldn't withstand the huge force of Hai Erbo coming out of the ground, most of them still maintain their original appearance.
"Well... But if I have to say it, maybe it's a good choice to convert this place into an underground shelter." Maca said softly as he walked in, "At least, that guy Hai Erbo will probably never know how to do it in his life." Don't want to come here again!"
"Really?" Ensi couldn't help frowning when he heard it, "That guy's thinking seems to be not very normal all the time, maybe he won't mind?"
When Maca heard this, he couldn't help but shrugged.
"I'm just saying it casually," he said, "However, even Haierbo, who is different from ordinary people in every way, would not be willing to 'revisit the old place' in such a place—you know, he was The seal has been under the ground for a thousand years! Another person would have gone completely crazy."
Of course, Maca was just chatting for nothing, he wouldn't really turn this underground palace into a shelter for use.
While chatting with Ensi, he had already started to clean up the area in the middle of the main tomb.
With a backhand wave, he swept away all the scattered rocks on the ground, and then saw a big hole that was still pitch black under the light.
After discovering the cave, Maca didn't seem to intend to go in, but suddenly waved towards the depths of the cave.
The next moment, Ensi saw a large amount of soil mixed with gravel spewing out from the ground, and under Maca's control, it was all piled to the side.
After a while of earth and rocks tumbling, Maca suddenly seemed to have sensed something, and raised his eyebrows slightly. Immediately afterwards, he and Ens saw some fragments of wood planks mixed in the soil and turned upside down.
Seeing this, Maca waved immediately, causing one of the palm-sized pieces of wood to turn around and fly towards him, and he accurately caught it in his hand.
"Huh?" Maca looked back and forth a few times, and suddenly asked with some doubts, "Is this the soul wood?"
To be honest, if you look at it according to ordinary wood, this piece of wood has been buried underground for nearly a thousand years, and it is already rare in the world that it still has not decayed.
However, it is light and fluffy in the hand, and it is quite dry and loose when pinched, as if it will be crushed into crumbs if you use more force. Is this state really worth using?
Or... After all, is this really that soul wood?
Holding such doubts, Maca waved again and continued to rummage deep underground. It wasn't until he finally dug out a relatively intact side panel of the coffin from the ground that he was completely sure that the wood that seemed to be easily smashed in his hand was the wood used to seal Haierbo back then. part of the coffin.
"Just this stuff, it's enough to put a fragile label on it!"
