Chapter 777 Worse Than Death

"Wait, what's that?"

Old Eun's words suddenly eased the tense atmosphere before, and the old Eun's eyes also moved from Maca's face to Maca's right hand.

No, to be more precise, it was actually the magic staff just taken out of Maca's right hand.

"Long wand," Maca said while still maintaining due vigilance in his heart, "although short wands have become the mainstream since your era thousands of years ago, I think it's at least better than it is now." Much more? What's the matter?"

"Of course I know about the long staff at that time," said old You En, struggling to support the armrest of the wheelchair so that he could sit up straighter. "I want to ask, on the rock at the top, What is it engraved on?"

This staff is basically made of materials from the basilisk. It can be said that it has been with Maca for a long time, and it has actually undergone many changes during use. However, that was nothing more than an improvement on the rune pattern carved on the staff.

As for the pattern engraved on the stone at the top of the staff, it is naturally the same.

"Since you ask that, I think you already know it." Maca considered every word in his mind, and carefully turned some of it into words.

But old Eun just shook his head when he heard it, but the magic fluctuations that had been fully active in his body gradually calmed down again.

"Ancient runes that symbolize the rules of truth," the old man said slowly, "...Of course, I only know that Rowena called them that, and I know almost nothing about the rest."

"That's right, this is the rule rune," Maca said following the other party's words, "one of them."

Although he said so, in essence, he simply repeated what the old man said without mentioning any other information.

For Maca, knowledge about rule runes is a secret.

If someone other than him gets the secret, then knowledge is no longer just knowledge, and they are more likely to become a great danger no less than those sources of disaster.

"So," Old Eun nodded as if he was sure of something when he heard this, "You were indeed selected by Rowena and her three friends..."

The old man didn't go on, he just cast his gaze directly into Maca's eyes when he said this.

Maca knew that the other party wanted him to complete that sentence.

"...the candidate," Maca said calmly, "I have entered Rowena's secret room."

"Sure enough!" There was a flash of understanding in You En's eyes, but then more hesitation arose, "But, since that's the case, you should have been to Salazar's secret room, and...why don't you know that Salazar What about Racha's backup for 'the man'?"

Hearing the old man mention Salazar Slytherin's so-called "back hand" again, Maca was actually more puzzled than the other party.

He always felt that there must be something in it that he had missed, but apart from Enns' matter, he couldn't think of any relevant clues for a while.

"I can only say about this... It seems that there can be more than two candidates at the same time," Maca said casually, and then turned to ask, "What exactly is the 'second hand' you are talking about? Candidates, what exactly is it for defense?"

It was rare to find an insider, and he seemed to be an insider who was willing to say a few more words, so Maca naturally wanted to ask a few more questions.

However, old Eun shook his head decisively.

"I don't know," he said frankly, "Rowena and her three friends discussed it together, and she didn't let me know much... She only told me that it would be to solve the problem. It is a great disaster, if it is not necessary, it is best for no one to try to understand it."

At this point, old Youn's face suddenly became a little darker.

"Once some truth is touched blindly,

He lowered his eyelids and said sullenly, "In the end, it will inevitably lead to disasters and lead things to the worst possible outcome." "

"The worst ending..."

Maca chewed on this sentence, and couldn't help but think of the content mentioned at the end of the original "Book of Sin". Although those are only a few words that are not very clear, the "loneliness" and "fear" contained in them are beyond doubt.

"Yes, 'the worst ending'." The old man also repeated this sentence, "I don't know what that refers to specifically, but I do know that it must be far more serious than 'a person's death' Much more!"

"What's the meaning?"

Hearing this strange statement, Maca couldn't help frowning, but old Youn seemed to be immersed in some kind of nostalgia, and there was not much expression on his face that was dissatisfied with the traces of time.

"It's literally," he said calmly, "Maybe you don't know, but I can tell you... Rowena actually committed suicide back then."

This is obviously another big news.

As far as Maca knew, among the many historical documents in the magical world, the death of Rowena Ravenclaw was a controversial matter.

In the 11th century, this outstanding witch, one of the four founders of Hogwarts, died inexplicably early, and there was no official record from the beginning to the end.

Some people say that she died of an unusually serious illness. It was the departure of Salazar Slytherin, who was best at Potions, that made her lose her last hope of survival.

It is also said that she actually died of a heart attack. Her daughter Helena stole her golden crown and went away, but she and Baro, who was sent to find her, both lost their lives.

But now, the "Ewan Ravenclaw" in front of Maca told him that Rowena's death was actually suicide.

"Let's not talk about this for now." After a long pause, old Youn sighed slightly, "Since you are indeed a candidate, then you are right... Maybe as you said, the candidate is also a candidate. There may be more than one, which is indeed in line with Rowena's concept of preparedness."

In any case, to be able to continue to speak well is what Maca wants.

To be honest, he didn't want to be an enemy of the old man—at least he didn't want to fight him prematurely. After all, he is still unable to determine the strength of the opponent, and it is not advisable to be blindly hostile.

Of course, when faced with an unreasonable guy like Hai Erbo, the other party often only has the only option of "hostile".

Unless, standing in front of Hai Erbo is a fool who has no sense of crisis.

"So?" Maca asked after hearing it.

"So, didn't you say it just now?" The old man said bluntly, "Salazar's backhand failed to put 'him' to death, so it's my turn for this 'backup plan' to come on stage... Maybe it It will inevitably strike you as absurd, but I must say that the absurd is our last resort when there is no alternative."

At this point, he tidied up his thoughts a little bit, and then continued: "Once 'he' is resurrected again, he will inevitably look for the ancient mirror that belonged to him... Back then, Salazar used the Bewitching Tablet to decimate him. It was smashed into pieces, and Rowena sealed the pieces underground somewhere to prevent them from being automatically assembled."

"And the first step we have to do now is to find it!"

When Eun said these words, Maca's heart was still very delicate. Or in other words, it was a subtle feeling with sporadic doubts.

What puzzled him was that in Ewan's words, he couldn't find any discord between Salazar Slytherin and Rowena; and what he was deeply impressed by was the two things the other party said, Now it's all in his hands!

However, doubts are just doubts. After all, Maca has not fully believed whether this old man is really that Ewan Ravenclaw himself.

When a large pile of unknowns suddenly piles up in front of you, you really can't let yourself have other thoughts except doubts.

"Didn't Rowena tell you where she hid her things?" Maca asked casually while thinking about it.

"Yes, I think it's mainly up to you," Old Eun said frankly, "Because, although she didn't tell me the exact location...but she once said that the clue is in Hogwarts Castle."

Can there be any clues, isn't it the "Mirror of Erised" that has been broken long ago? Although Maca didn't notice any traces of geographical location on it at the beginning, the fragments of the mirror are still in the bag on Maca's waist, and he can study it again at any time.

"Yes," Maca replied calmly, "I'll look for it."

"Very well, I hope the plan can proceed smoothly. I've been waiting for this day... I've been waiting for thousands of years!" The old man coughed a few more times as he spoke, and his face became more tired .

"Of course, the plan itself is also doomed for us to be in a hurry..."

As he was speaking, he suddenly glanced in the direction of the sentry tower not far away. It can be seen that Miriam and Seaman are already coming here.

"One more thing I have to say—" the old man said immediately, "after leaving here, you and I are still enemies. Don't underestimate 'that person', he may choose anyone he can control, and try to resurrect !Whether it is coercion, temptation or deception..."

At the end, he said emphatically: "Remember, be careful of the people around you at all times."

Needless to say, Maca has been paying attention to this as well. Hai Erbo is not Voldemort, that guy is a living fossil in the magic world that has lived for thousands of years, even if the other party uses any means, Maca will not be surprised.

He can use the unequal amount of information to kill the opponent once, but he can't guarantee that it will be the same next time.

"It's a tough problem."

In Maca's eyes, a trace of tiredness could not help but flash.
