Chapter 1677 The Shadow in the Mirror
"Don't get close to that mirror, understand? Even if you accidentally see someone or something you care about in the mirror, never get close to it - just tell me and listen."
"Yeah, I got it."
Seeing that Maca lowered his head and began to re-study the soul wood planks collected before after making a special reminder, Ensi fell into silence.
To be honest, with Enns' current level, he doesn't really understand what Maca is doing at all.
From the beginning of digging out the fragments of Haierbo's soul wooden coffin, and then temporarily putting down the wooden boards that looked very fragile and taking out the mirror of devouring, and now, Maca turned around and continued Thinking about the pile of wood.
Ens only knew that Maca should have been doing some profound magic research and experiments, but he couldn't figure it out at all.
However, although Ens still lacked a lot of knowledge about magic, at least he had already understood the purpose of bringing Maca with him, even though nobody carried it.
Of course it wasn't for him to assist with research or something - he was obviously not up to that level. The reason why Maca brought him here was obviously only because he was taken by Hai Erbo once, so when he needed to go out this time, he was still worried about leaving him in Blois Castle.
And it was precisely because Ensi understood this that he remained quiet and cooperative throughout this trip, and did not show his usual bad temper.
You know, don't look at when Maca came over earlier, he still had a few jokes in his mind. Eens has observed Maca from time to time in the past few days, and has actually realized that Maca's nerves may have been in a tense state all the time.
Especially today, the incidents of mirrors in Blois Castle happened one after another, which made Maca's heart full of boredom and uneasiness.
Of course, what makes Maca upset is obviously not the series of accidents, but the devouring mirror that is the source of those events. It's just this fundamental problem that it's hard for Ernes to understand too deeply.
Right now, after hearing Maca's warning, Ensi sat silently on half of a huge brick and stared in a daze. Under Maca's prior reminder, he deliberately avoided the ancient mirror standing in the middle, and thought about some things of his own.
For example, my future direction of learning magic; for example, my status as a "Slytherin descendant"; or for example, my mother who has passed away long ago.
Ok,
Probably just occasionally! For some reason he also thought about that Alexander who was so annoying to him.
Could that guy really be his "friend"? Ens, who had never made friends, was not very clear about this, and he still felt that he really didn't need the so-called "friends".
During the time when Ensi was gradually immersed in many thoughts, the huge main tomb finally became quiet again...
Seriously, though, it's quite a difficult thing to get a person to completely control their attention and keep themselves from being distracted for long periods of time. Especially after repeatedly reminding oneself not to look at something, it will be more difficult for that person to ignore the existence of that thing.
After a chance glance at the devouring mirror, Ensi soon couldn't help but subconsciously glanced a few more times.
And it was at the moment when his gaze swept across the mirror for the last time, he was surprised to find that the originally chaotic mirror gradually became clear. Ensi saw that a vague figure that he felt somewhat familiar gradually appeared behind Maca in the mirror.
When Ensi saw it, he quickly turned his head to look at Maca, but he didn't see anyone.
"Who is that?"
Since Maca reminded him first, Ensi had no intention of getting close to the past at all. It was only because the hazy figure made him feel a sense of familiarity, which made him not tell Maca immediately.
Dai Ensi secretly stared at the image in the mirror, watching the figure standing behind "Maka" slowly become more and more clear. After a while, he finally confirmed the identity of the "opponent".
"That's..." he muttered to himself, "Salazar Slytherin?"
So far, he has seen the magical image of his "ancestor" twice, and both were under very special circumstances. It is not easy to forget such an impressive way of meeting.
So Ernes was very sure that that figure was Slytherin, so it couldn't be wrong!
"What's going on? What are you trying to deceive me this time?"
With this mentality in mind, Ens saw that "Slytherin" in the mirror suddenly bent down, and stretched his hand straight to "Maka"'s waist.
And at the very next moment, "he" actually took out a strange stone box that Ens had never seen before from Maca's waist bag.
Just when Enns was a little confused, the "Slytherin" who was holding the stone box in his hands suddenly raised his head, and a pair of deep eyes looked straight at Enns. The moment the eyes of the two touched each other, Ensi only felt a subtle discomfort rising in his heart.
By this time, Ensi, who had an inexplicable face, actually wanted to ask Maca to look in the mirror. But before he opened his mouth to make a sound, he saw the "Slytherin" in the mirror suddenly held up the stone box in his hand, turned it at an angle, and pointed to the line engraved on the stone box with his finger.
Because they were a little far away, just sitting here, Ensi couldn't see clearly what was written in that line. It's just that the intention of the "opponent" is already obvious - "he" just wants Ensi to see clearly the words engraved on it.
"Mr. McLean, in the mirror!"
Unexpectedly, Ensi's reminder made Maca, who was studying the soul wood, suddenly turn his head and look over. It's a pity that at the same time, the mirror surface of the devouring mirror has returned to its previous chaotic state, and the mirror image just now has completely disappeared.
"Ens, what did you... see?"
As Maca seemed to be very concerned about asking, Ensi paused for a while, and then replied directly:
"I saw Salazar Slytherin, standing behind you just now - well, I mean, he appeared in the mirror behind you."
Although Erns had re-explained in time, Maca still frowned and glanced behind him subconsciously. Fortunately, as he had sensed, there was no one behind.
After a little hesitation, Maca continued:
"Then what? Slytherin... did what?"
"...He took out a strange stone box from the leather bag on your waist."
Before the words fell, Maca's expression froze a little, but his eyes became sharper instead.
"What kind of stone box?" He asked in a deep voice.
