In the Muggle world, there are religious stories about the death of Judas, and the number "13" represents betrayal and misfortune; in the magical world, whether it is divination, digital magic, or spirituality, it also records the negative power of this number .

Sybill Trelawney, a professor of divination, once said a prophecy: "Thirteen people eat together, and the first person to stand up after the meal will be the first to die."

But few people know that in the summoning techniques of ancient times, this number symbolizing "unlucky" has been used the most.

Maca borrowed three collections of books from the Werther family, and these three books are all documents related to summoning in ancient times.

Although there is very little actual content in it, some of the most basic concepts are very clear, which makes Maca quite satisfied.

According to the book, summoning can be roughly divided into two categories, one is spirit summoning, and the other is demon summoning.

Judging by Maca, the former summons mimic half-life bodies such as rock giants and flame beasts, which should be one of the origins of modern transfiguration; while the latter summons demons from hell, which may have a different relationship with spirituality. small association.

However, although these two types are called summoning, they are two completely different types of magic. Among the three books of the Werther family, only the latter is involved, that is, the devil summoning technique.

I don't know if there is Hell Maca, but the devil summoning technique has an indissoluble bond with the number "13", which he already knows well.

Now looking at the jigsaw puzzle called "The Last Supper" in his hand, especially the panicked "Judas" on it, Maca felt an extremely awkward feeling in his heart.

"……thanks."

Maca returned the puzzle board to the father and daughter, then leaned against the porthole and closed his eyes lightly, and stopped talking to them.

The father and daughter looked at Maka, who looked like a different person before and after the puzzle, and couldn't figure out what he was thinking at all.

"Father, what is he thanking?" The girl asked with a puzzled expression.

It was not until the plane arrived at Mother Teresa International Airport in Tirana, the capital of Albania, that Maka opened her eyes on time and got off the plane with other passengers.

Looking up at the clear blue sky above the airport, Maka shook his head involuntarily, then raised his legs and walked towards an empty corner.

To be honest, some previous guesses made him much less interested in demon summoning.

If nothing else, he believes that this kind of summoning technique most likely requires soul sacrifice. Like creating Horcruxes, this evil method also has a spiritual effect on the caster.

Judging from his current understanding of rule runes, any magic that has a negative impact on the spirit is anti-rule magic, which is commonly known as "black magic" in the magic world.

Even after entering the simplified Avada Kedavra, Maca will use it as little as possible to avoid unnecessary burden on one's spirit, not to mention Horcrux making and demon summoning.

Putting on the Illusion Charm and stepping on the flying broom, Maca has long been used to avoiding the sight of Muggles all the time. The destination of this trip is somewhere deep in the mountains and wild forests north of Tirana.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, whether it's the ruins of the lake palace in Rowena or the despicable Haierbo's tomb where Maca is going now, they are all in Albania.

And the straight-line distance between the two is even only a few tens of kilometers.

Pausing for a while above a dense forest, Maca relied on the advantage of looking down from a high altitude to judge the direction of the mountains. After reconfirming the specific location, he pressed down the broomstick and swooped into the forest.

"crash"

As the emerald green canopy was pushed away by Maca's spell, he controlled the broom and fell steadily into the deep and dark jungle.

Voldemort was able to find the ancient temple because he had lingered in this forest for ten years.

The existence of the Horcrux prevented him from dying completely, but it was also very difficult to resurrect him.

In order not to let himself get lost in the illusory boundary 1 between life and death, he often attaches himself to some small animals with weak mental strength and wanders in this mountain forest constantly.

By accident, he discovered the small ancient temple hidden deep in the dense forest.

Maca, however, doesn't have that much time to try his luck.

"Guys, let's go for a walk!"

Maca flicked his sleeves and waved his wand coherently, and seventeen alienated giant spiders scrambled around Maca, and scattered out at a very fast speed at Maca's order.

Or say that in the eyes of parents, children will always be children? Even though each of them is half a body taller than Maca now, in Maca's eyes, these "little guys" will always be noisy little spiders in the iron box.

After letting "Little One" to "Little Seventeen" go out for a walk, Maca started to wander around easily.

The Seek enchantment didn't work, which prevented him from finding his target the way he was best at. In this way, apart from being able to perceive magic fluctuations within a certain range, he has no other advantage in searching.

Rather than being busy for a long time and still not getting the point, it would be more convenient and quick for those little guys to help him find it.

In fact, this was indeed the case. After about half an hour, "Little San" and "Little Seven" had already returned to Maca's side.

"Garbage (that)...garbage (in)..."

"what?"

That's right, "Xiao Qi" and "Xiao Jiu" have already started to learn to speak, but they don't know who they learned their accent from, and it sounds like they are swearing every time.

Maca simply turned over and sat on Xiao Qi, letting them take him all the way deeper into the forest.

Whenever this time, Maca always feels that the shock-absorbing effect of the spider mount is really first-class, and the eight legs sway desperately up and down, and their bodies only slightly fluctuate with the shift of the center of gravity. .

"Hey! Are you a monkey? Don't climb trees!"

Maca is beautiful! Suddenly, I felt my body leaning over, and I quickly stretched out my hand to hook Xiao Qi's long legs...

As the surrounding woods became denser and the trees grew taller, Maca finally saw an ancient temple hidden in the darkness of the dense forest.

"Go and get all your brothers and sisters back, and wait here obediently for me to come out."

Maca rolled over to the ground, waved his hands casually, and then walked towards the dilapidated ancient temple with his lit wand.

This is an ancient stone temple covered with plant vines and green moss. It is very concealed in the forest, even if it is a little far away, it is easy to ignore it.

Maca stood at the entrance of the ancient temple and looked in. Except that the slate floor seemed to be damaged, there seemed to be nothing strange.

After a little consideration, he cautiously walked into the ancient temple.

"Well?"

It wasn't until he stepped inside that he realized that because of the angle, it was difficult to find a deep hole leading to the ground among the broken and messy floor bricks and stones from the outside.

Judging from the various traces nearby, it was definitely not Voldemort who discovered this underground passage, but much earlier than that.

"Salazar Slytherin came here after a long journey, and then dug his grave because of a disagreement?" Maca muttered, "Unexpectedly, Slytherin is still a golden captain in the magic world..."

Now that it's here, is there any reason not to go on?

Even Maca knew that it was probably a place of right and wrong down here, but if he didn't take a look, he really couldn't feel at ease.

But fortunately, there was Salazar Slytherin in the front and Voldemort in the back, and two powerful wizards passed by one after another. At least before seeing the Bewitching Stele, the danger factor of this underground palace and tomb is small. a lot.

Tightening the wand in his hand, Maca stepped down into the dark cave...

Just a few steps in, Maca followed the light of the magic wand's glowing spell and saw many broken rune marks.

Perhaps a long time ago, a large number of defensive magic circles and the like were engraved here; but now, they have lost their proper magical effect.

After passing through a downward sloping passage, Maca saw another downward passage after a 180° turn.

It seems that the tomb of the despicable Haierbo is still far deep underground, and it is not easy to find the entrance.

Time passed by little by little, and there was no other movement in the passage except Maca's own footsteps. This quiet feeling was vaguely secretive, as if it was rejecting the arrival of outsiders.

Finally, Maca walked and found that the originally slightly cramped walls suddenly disappeared. Because the underground was too dark, he hadn't realized that he was already in the tomb.

Maca strengthened the light cluster on the wand again, and the surrounding visible range immediately became much larger, and part of the stone walls on both sides could be faintly seen.

Immediately afterwards, the murals on the stone wall immediately attracted his attention.

"...What is this...?"

On the left side of the tomb is a rather tall stone wall, on which a vivid picture is outlined with some kind of paint.

What's more worth mentioning is that these murals have not faded and broken due to time, and still maintain quite bright colors. One pair after another, they stretched forward to the depths of the tomb.

The mural in front of Maca is depicting a green land, trees, birds, griffins, fire dragons... all kinds of ordinary or magical creatures, and so on.

From these different creatures, it can be seen that the ordinary animals and plants at that time were quite different from the present, but the magical creatures did not change much.

And in this mural, the most eye-catching thing is an extremely huge ancient dragon!

This ancient giant dragon occupies almost half of the screen. It stretches its huge wings and looks down on all the tiny creatures on the ground from a high altitude, just like a god.
