Chapter 499 The Ballad of Interlaced Time and Space
The genius remembered the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! Only now did he finally understand why the original attack by the Obscure did not cause any decent losses.
Although there was some reason for his own actions to prevent it, it seemed a bit too coincidental that even a huge hole was knocked out of the Ravenclaw tower, but it only caused minor injuries to a few students.
Now that I think about it, this is simply a good show he directed and acted on his own.
boom!
Maca was thinking about it, but without hesitation, his subordinates controlled the black mist transformed by the transfiguration technique to break through the wall of the school hospital, and charged aggressively into the midair outside the castle.
But he didn't immediately trouble the Ravenclaw Tower, but directed the black mist to fly up and down under the night sky, making the scene extremely grand.
Of course he knows what he has done, he can't call himself back at this point in time, first of all he has to let the owl Mafa parked on the top of the astronomical tower see it.
After the black mist hovered in the air for a few weeks, he gritted his teeth and directed it to rush towards the Ravenclaw tower.
Knowing that Luna was sleeping inside, and also knowing that his other self would arrive in time, he couldn't help being a little timid all of a sudden. Although the black mist looks overwhelming, in fact, it always keeps two or three points of strength, just in case.
But fortunately, when something like a rule becomes your obstacle, it is like an insurmountable high wall; but once it becomes your partner, you will definitely trust its reliability.
"coming!"
Maca was hovering in the air with the illusion spell at the moment. Taking advantage of his height, he immediately caught a glimpse of the space distortion outside the main entrance in the distance. Immediately, his complexion changed, and he stopped hesitating, and accelerated the sprint speed of the black mist group again.
At the same time, he himself retreated towards the back door of Hogwarts Castle.
Although this feeling of fighting against the past self is indeed quite novel, and seeing another exactly the same person appear in sight is also quite weird. But he understands that there is nothing wrong with taking a look from a distance, but if he notices it, something serious will happen.
Just as he has always been troubled by, although this ability to sense magic power has provided him with a lot of convenience, sometimes it has to be said to be a troublesome thing.
At this moment, several obstacle spells instantly blocked the path of the black mist, so that its speed suddenly slowed down a bit. Immediately afterwards, a giant silver-white eagle proudly pierced through the sky and slammed into the side.
Maca immediately controlled the angle of the flight, took advantage of the situation and led it to one side, brushing past the outer wall of the Ravenclaw tower.
With a muffled "bang", the wall on one side of the tower collapsed instantly, and many figures immediately fell out of the wall, falling down together with the falling masonry fragments.
When he saw a large-scale floating spell supporting those students, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and concentrated on fighting with the silver eagle patron saint who followed.
At this moment, a group of strong magic power fluctuations suddenly appeared from the castle vestibule. In Maca's induction, it was as bright as a lighthouse in the dark night, and it could be easily felt from such a distance.
He knew that this step of action had finally come to an end safely.
Sure enough, a dazzling blue-white beam of light suddenly appeared, pierced through the black mist from bottom to top without hindrance, and then pierced the night sky and shot straight into the sky.
The black mist seemed to be unable to hold on any longer, and it turned into crystal clear sky in a blink of an eye, and was blown away soundlessly by the night wind.
Until this moment, the beam of light formed by the power of rules quietly disappeared, leaving only countless ice crystal fragments falling down like snowflakes.
Up to now, all the things that should be done in this step have been done, Maca no longer delays, turned around and flew towards the back door of the castle.
While flying with the magic book, he subconsciously glanced behind him, which was the direction of the Ravenclaw tower.
Although he really wanted to take a look at Luna, after all, for him, it had been a long time since he had met Luna. But it is obviously not the time yet, and we can only let it go for the time being.
However, when he flew to the back, next to the door leading to the underground port, he suddenly stopped.
"I actually forgot that there is still this stubble..."
At that time, after the silent attack was over, the back door had been monitored by the silver eagles he had dispatched. Although he was invisible at this time, he couldn't fool the patron saint who could detect spiritual power.
This path is obviously not going to work.
Seeing the giant silver-white eagle hovering in the direction of the back door, he turned around decisively and left.
Right now, the back of the castle is guarded by the patron saint, and there is a detection spell attached to the school's wall. The only place that can leave Hogwarts is the school's main entrance.
The protective spell there was the strongest around Hogwarts, but at the same time, it was also the weakest for him who had a way to remove it. The key now is how to avoid the self in the school hospital.
...
This night, it was a night with a bright moonlight, and the clear silver light sprinkled on the front lawn, illuminating everything in every detail.
At this time, in the ward of Hogwarts School Hospital, a group of professors and injured students were gathering together.
Snape, who hurried to catch up, was also with them, and followed Maca to this place. He looked at this scene in the ward expressionlessly, his eyes were a little gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Professor Snape," Maca said suddenly at this time, "Have you given her the antidote you prepared?"
Hearing that, Snape didn't show any hesitation, and nodded quickly. Although a gloomy expression also appeared on his face, no one would find him suspicious as he always looked like this.
"That's right, but the effect of the antidote takes time to dissipate. She shouldn't have woken up that night."
The object they were talking about was, of course, the Greek asylum student who had been "killed" by Maca just now, Miss Helen Schoen.
"Perhaps... there are other reasons?" Maca thought for a while, and said casually, "It may be related to the special physique of the Obscure, or it may be something else..."
When he said this, he was obviously a little absent-minded. In his opinion, the shot was too decisive in a fit of anger just now, although it is not regrettable, but it is still a precious clue after all.
But at this moment, how could he know that the truth behind it was actually intricate, and even his future self was involved in it.
At that time, Maca thought about it for a while, but put aside these thoughts first, and put his mind on the injured student. Needless to say, his level of Potions, working with Snape so that the injured students can be rescued as soon as possible.
However, when he was standing next to a student to check, he seemed to catch a glimpse of a black shadow out of the corner of his eye, and quickly rushed across the lawn in the vestibule.
The speed of the shadow was very fast, and the moonlight tonight was really bright enough that he could see the fleeting black shadow with only his naked eyes.
"……what?"
At that moment Maca turned his head immediately and looked carefully at the lawn vigilantly, but he couldn't find any suspicious signs at all. It's as if, he was just blindsided by it just now.
However, the lawn of the school grounds is very flat, and it can be said to be unobstructed from the window of the school hospital. Where can people hide?
Maca said in his heart that he had to go outside to check it out in a while, in case there were any enemies hiding in Hogwarts. But he didn't know that at the moment when his attention was drawn to the direction in which the black shadow was grazing, the real "intruder" had already left the school's main entrance without a sound.
...
Although it sounds interesting to lie to yourself, if you actually do it, you will find that even if you succeed, there is no sense of accomplishment at all.
In addition to being able to feel my own stupidity at that time, the only thing left is to scold myself for my own misery.
After Maca sneaked out of the school's main gate, she didn't use the door key to leave immediately. Although the movement in space is very fast, there is still a possibility of being discovered. In order to prevent accidents, he chose to use it at a distance.
At present, this step is almost complete. He fooled himself at the time, and also fooled the entire Hogwarts teachers and students. The whole process can be said to be relatively smooth.
But the reason why the word "almost" is used to measure is because every step in this plan is closely related to the overall situation. And any one of these steps will affect the real ending at the end.
Next, he must take the time to go to a place and do something he has done before. It's just that after hundreds of days of dedicated research, what he can do now is much better than the original self.
If this plan is successful, not only will the disaster at Hogwarts disappear without a trace, but his long-standing goals will also be resolved along the way.
Of course, the idea is good, but he has no idea whether it will succeed or not. His vision can be properly extended, but he still needs to be down-to-earth in his work - the culprit who caused the destruction of Hogwarts is always the primary purpose of his trip.
Maca ran for a while in the woods in front of the main entrance, feeling that the distance should be about the same, then took out one of the door keys from his waist pocket, and silently activated it.
Accompanied by the familiar space distortion, he and Helen Schoen, who was floating beside him, disappeared in the same place, and went to a remote mountain that was inaccessible.
That night, silver moons appeared chaotically in the sky, as if an invisible hand had plucked a song of interlaced time and space.
