Chapter 2485 the Residue of the Truth

"...Actually, I only figured out the truth of the whole thing not long ago—why did Rowena Ravenclaw leave behind a series of tests? Since she left the tests purposefully , Why is it always vague? I followed the so-called test and tried my best to find all the clues left by the four founders, but why did it seem to be getting more and more sideways?"

Maca sat on the throne, looked at Hermione and Harry in front of him, and other people under the steps, and told little by little his secrets that he had never revealed to anyone in the past.

During the whole process of telling the past bit by bit, he seemed very calm and casual, as if he had suddenly returned to the time when he was chatting in the Hogwarts library.

However, with Maca's succinct narration and the secrets about the four founders of Hogwarts that were gradually revealed in front of everyone with the voice of self-questioning, they kept pulling everyone back to reality.

This allowed everyone to finally see for the first time how heavy a mountain of pressure Maca has borne alone in the name of his superficial genius all these years.

However, Maca himself didn't seem to have any special feelings. He just stated these questions that belonged directly to him lightly, and then quickly answered everyone's questions by himself:

"It wasn't until some time ago that I realized that the current 'disaster'... probably started as early as a thousand years ago, after I found out that Haierbo's demon summoning technique finally descended on only six demons."

"Six demons?" Hermione subconsciously repeated this sentence when she heard this.

"yes."

Maca nodded at her, and there seemed to be a little smile on the now inhuman face, but it was horrifying no matter how you looked at it.

He seemed to be aware of the horror of his present face, so he couldn't help but raised his hand and touched his cheek, but continued:

"It's missing one, it's 'jealousy'."

With that said, Maca spread out a palm, and then counted with his fingers:

"The huge black monument that sealed Haierbo, the Gryffindor sword in Harry's hand, the mysterious ancient mirror that almost caused disaster at Hogwarts, the cursed blood that polluted the blood of the Blois family, hidden deep in the The Calamitas Box in the Hufflepuff Secret Room, and of course..."

Counting up to here, everyone saw Maca sighed slightly, and said in a very complicated and incomprehensible tone:

"And that one that led me down this road of no return, 'The Scroll of Truth'... Hey,

do you know? Having excess curiosity and thirst for knowledge is sometimes a sin! It seems that no matter what, there must be a limit. "

He sighed, shaking his head.

"In short, after I grouped all these mysterious and terrifying things together and conducted a series of research," he raised the notes in his hand, "it's actually not difficult to find out what each of them represents—— Pride, anger, gluttony, lust, laziness, and greed. Well, the seven deadly sins are also mentioned in the ancient books of the Druids... So, what about jealousy? Where did jealousy go?"

Maca asked himself again, and immediately said without the need for others to agree:

"It's gone! It's a dagger, but it's gone a long time ago. It ceased to exist a thousand years ago... According to Haierbo, he tried to use the demon summoning technique a thousand years ago, but was met with The obstruction of the four founders of Hogwarts was not completely successful, and only one demon was summoned. After that, the demon was killed by Gryffindor, he was sealed by Slytherin, and even the dagger was taken by Raven Crowe took it and ruined it."

"However," he paused, looked at everyone, and then slightly increased his tone, "the disaster has not been stopped, or, in fact, it has already started... Even Rowena Ravenclaw That kind of inborn wisdom, at the time, I never thought that the one who really made everything point to disaster was not Hai Erbo or anyone else, but herself... just like me."

"What do you mean?" Hermione couldn't help asking.

On the throne, Maca shrugged lightly upon hearing this.

"Actually, the whole matter is very simple to explain," he said, "that fatal box cannot be opened, otherwise disaster will come in an instant, and no one can stop it... But the problem is that this matter cannot be opened." 'Say it out'."

For his statement, everyone felt a little puzzled, but some people seemed to have understood something. He watched the changes in the eyes of Hermione, Lupine, Snape and others, then nodded, and said meaningfully:

"Rowena Ravenclaw committed suicide, just after she realized the truth—knowledge is sin, and those who know that there are endless disasters hidden in the box will inevitably, under the guidance of unknown forces, take It opened. So after Rowena left the whole plan and sealed the Calamity Box with a seamless hard stone shell and heavy magic, he ended his life."

...

Is it a rule related to causality?

To be honest, even Maca doesn't quite know this. He only gradually deduced this conclusion based on the clues that gradually became clear and his own personal experience.

And the stone box should have been entrusted by Ravenclaw to her hardworking, simple, low-key, reliable, and always down-to-earth friend Helga Hufflepuff. Without knowing anything about the stone box, the latter hid this extremely dangerous ancient magic item for thousands of years based on a word from his friend.

As for Slytherin and Gryffindor, the former should know a little bit about it. With his shrewdness, he naturally sensed potential dangers from Rowena's various actions, so he cooperated with the other party and directly participated in the follow-up plan. .

As for Gryffindor, Maca didn't know how much that powerful wizard known for his fighting power knew.

He could only make a little guess based on Harry's acceptance of the trial of the Gryffindor sword, and felt that although the other party lent his magic hat, he actually didn't know much about Ravenclaw's plan itself. It's just that with the strength of the opponent, perhaps they have already sensed the existence of the crisis, so they left that form of inheritance on the sword.

However, in the final analysis, there was only one sentence in Maca's heart - the time of a thousand years is really too long, long enough to make all the traces weathered into sand, and they can no longer be put together into the original appearance.

Now he is sitting in the main hall, telling the so-called "truth" to all his partners, but in fact, it is only the truth for him. As for the truth about the four founders of Hogwarts, they have long since disappeared in the warmth of the past.
