Chapter 1678 "Playing Dead"

"Is this what you saw in the mirror...?"

When Maca took out the stone box found from the bottom of Hufflepuff's secret room, Erns was particularly surprised. He didn't expect that there was such a thing in Maca's bag.

"Yes, it should be it," Ensi stared at the box in Maca's hand, looked left and right, "Is there... a line of writing engraved on it?"

"Ok?"

Maca couldn't help raising her eyebrows when she heard him ask this question.

"Yes... what's wrong?"

"The 'Slytherin' in the mirror at that time was pointing to that line of writing to indicate to me. He seemed to want me to take a look." Ens said, "However, because I was too far away, I didn't See clearly."

Having said that, while recalling what he saw in the mirror, he said in confusion:

"Mr. McLean, you said... does 'he' want me to open this stone box?"

Regarding this, Maca thought for a while, and then shook his head slightly.

"If you just want you to open it, you don't need to let you read this line of writing at all," he said as he finally turned the side with the writing on Ensi, "I remember when you As I said, in order to understand Hufflepuff's letters, you also taught yourself this kind of Old English—do you understand?"

Upon hearing this, Ensi immediately waved his hands and said:

"No, I just studied it roughly, and then translated the letter according to the book. This... um? Do the last two words mean 'do not open'?"

"That's right," Maca subconsciously glanced at the line of notches again, and then explained, "The meaning of the whole sentence is 'if the chosen child is not ready, he must Do not open this box'."

"That means," Ens frowned, hesitatingly said, "Is that 'Slytherin' in the mirror trying to tell me not to open it?"

"Perhaps!"

At this moment, Maca's thoughts were obviously not clear, but he still said:

"Or, more likely, wanting you to stop me if you see me about to open it?"

certainly,

Maybe he wanted to use this method to lure Maca to open the stone box.

"Forget it, there are too many possibilities... Don't let it confuse your thinking, so let's not think about this issue." After thinking about it for a while, Maca carefully put away the stone box first, and then went on. He waved his hand and said, "Ens, don't think about it... just take a rest! We have to go back to England early in the morning."

When Ensi heard this, he immediately said:

"Are you going to find Hai Erbo?"

Maca didn't hide this matter, seeing him ask, Dang even nodded.

"Yes, but I'm the only one who wants to see that guy. As for you... I'll leave you in the Blois camp outside London."

"Oh, OK!"

After talking with Ensi like this, Maca lowered his head again and continued to fiddle with the pile of wood.

In this way, when the sun gradually sank behind the west mountain today, and the sunlight that originally filled the canopy of the tree turned into silver moonlight, Maca, who then changed the research object from the soul tree to the devouring mirror again, was finally able to do so. Temporarily stopped the work at hand.

And it wasn't until this moment that Maca stretched out his hand and patted Ensi, who had dozed off unknowingly, to wake him up.

"Wake up, the sun is setting."

"Well?"

Ensi looked at Maca sleepily, then left and right, and then remembered that he was in the depths of Haierbo's underground palace.

The surrounding dark scene made people's concept of time much blurred.

"It's already night?" He asked inarticulately.

"To be exact, it just fell into the night," Maca said as he took out a dining basket and placed it between the two of them, then gestured to Ensi, "Eat!"

After finishing speaking, he casually pulled off the napkin covering it, revealing a large basket of food. Then, he took the lead in picking up a ham sandwich and stuffed it into his mouth and started to chew.

On the other side, Ensi looked at the pile of rich delicacies, and couldn't help saying in surprise:

"Mr. McLean, is this... necessary? Why don't you just bring some dry food that is easy to carry?"

"Dry food is also available!" Maca shrugged, "Hurry up and eat! You are also a student of Hufflepuff College, so don't make such a fuss! This is more or less a tradition of our college."

...

After filling his stomach, Ensi watched Maca do the research that he couldn't understand, while thinking about some things about himself.

During this period of time, there was no abnormality in the devouring mirror, even when Maca was doing other research.

It was probably because he was too busy, or maybe because he had just had "dinner", Ensi, who had been dozing off for a while, suddenly felt sleepy again.

Speaking of which, since he came out of Fort Blois until now, Ens has deeply felt that Maca took him by his side as a "unstable factor".

To be honest, it did make him feel a little uncomfortable.

It's a pity that lack of strength is a rather cruel reality for many people.

Fortunately, Ensi is also a person with enough perseverance in his heart. Although he usually has a bad temper and treats people rather coldly, but at least there is a bottom line. Otherwise, like Malfoy, he might be tempted by some forces that do not belong to him to embark on a road of no return that harms others and himself.

When Ensi gradually fell asleep in a dazed state, Maca glanced at him, and then sat in front of the devouring mirror and took out the mysterious stone box again.

Why did Erns see that image? Was it made by Hai Erbo's soul fragments stored in the mirror? If this is the case, what is the other party planning to do?

After being silent for a while, Maca suddenly held up the stone box, looked at the chaotic mirror and said:

"What, you want it? Then why don't you just ask me for it?"

Maca didn't speak too loudly, but because the tomb was surprisingly quiet, his words still sounded very clear.

If someone is really listening, they will definitely hear it.

However, as the voice gradually settled down, the mirror surface of the devouring mirror still did not show any abnormal changes—it was obvious that they had made so many strange actions in Fort Blois, and even just now, but it happened that he "Play dead" in front of you.

This annoyed Maca very much.

However, at present, he really has nothing to do with this broken mirror.

Shaking his head slightly, Macafu put away the stone box again, and raised his left hand in front of him. On the index finger, the ring engraved with the family crest of the Bulova family was shining with a slight silver light.

"Monsieur Blois?"
