Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

Chapter 877 The Dent on the Foot of the Bed

"...We have tried many times, but no matter what method we use, we have not been able to break the defensive spell on this lounge. But there are still gains—"

"We found that the spell attached to the surrounding walls seems to be somewhat similar to the ancient magic of a pyramid in Egypt!"

While listening to Aginbad explaining the situation, Maca looked around at the door in front of him.

Of course, except for this door, the walls on both sides of the dean's room that were not protected by the spell have been pierced, and they used this method to try to destroy the outer wall on the other side of Xu Xushi.

Unfortunately, they obviously didn't succeed.

"Well, anyway, let me try first!"

Without waiting for Aginbad to continue, Maca suddenly took out his staff and pushed it straight towards the door in front of him. But just when he was about to break it with some rough but effective means, he stopped his movements very quickly.

"Oh, it might not be appropriate to mess around here..."

Thinking about the possibility of living things being locked inside, he didn't want to inadvertently injure someone before he finally identified the enemy and himself—if that happened, it would have a bad impact on his reputation.

However, due to the strong fluctuations in the defensive magic power left by Haierbo, it is really impossible to know whether there is anyone inside without touching it first.

"...I'll take another look."

Seeing that Maca suddenly withdrew the long magic staff in his hand, all the curse-breakers in the dean's room let out an "oh" in disappointment.

That's right, modern wizards really don't use long staffs for a long time, but spellbreakers like them who specialize in dealing with antiquities,

But they all understand somewhat.

And knowing that the long staff is very difficult to use, and even some of them have tried it themselves and failed, they especially want to see how Maca uses this thing.

Because it is very likely that this group of guys who love magic research will get a glimpse of the mysteries of ancient wizards.

"This is a long stick... Isn't the one on the murals curved? The one with a hook on the top..."

"The one with the hook is the staff!"

"Who said that, according to my research..."

Hearing a buzzing discussion suddenly sounded behind him, Maca just glanced at it casually, and soon returned his attention to the door.

Just talking about the door itself, it doesn't look weird, it's just a very ordinary wooden door. But the fluctuation of magic power faintly spreading in it shows that it is not simple.

Thanks to Rowena, Maca read some ancient books about thousands of years ago in her secret room. But there, most of them are about deep magic theories. As for the literature that really introduces ancient magic, there is almost no one.

If you think about it, take Maca's office as an example. Although there are a lot of materials in his office, most of them are research materials and notes. It's no surprise that you judge others by yourself.

But because of this, his understanding of ancient magic actually has many loopholes. His vision is enough, but it is almost unsystematic.

But at this moment, he couldn't quickly understand what Maca had analyzed from the fluctuation of magic power.

After a moment, Maca shook his head.

"Forget it, I'll go in from the roof! Just be careful, there shouldn't be any problems up there..."

Just going to analyze ancient magic, it would take too much time, and he didn't want to stay here all day.

With a wave of the staff towards the ceiling, a large hole that can directly see the sky is formed instantly. This time, he didn't even have a magic book, so he just grabbed his staff and flew up, passing through the hole in the ceiling to the top of the mansion-style building.

I took a general look at the location, but saw Maca took a few steps forward, and then began to tear down the roof on the spot.

When he found that he couldn't continue to destroy the roof bricks with the Cutting Charm, he knew immediately that he had reached the place.

"Crack...crack!"

Maca put his staff against the brick roof below, and quickly cooled it down with the cooling rune, and the magic in the roof also took effect. Since he stopped the cooling rule in just a split second, the hoarfrost spread was not large, but there was still a crisp cracking sound soon after.

Immediately, he lowered the magic staff in his hand, and his whole body fell into the lounge that couldn't get in, together with the broken bricks and stones.

But before his body touched the ground, he controlled the gravel to float up, and supported himself falling steadily to the floor.

It feels similar to the one seen from the outside, and this is a room that is also nothing special.

There is a layer of plush carpet on the floor, two beautiful landscape paintings hanging on the wall, the bookshelves inside are filled with books of various colors, and there is a large floor-to-ceiling vase in the corner.

To be honest, everything seemed normal except that there was no mattress or bedding on the brass bed.

Oh, right! It is worth mentioning that although Maca was not sure if there was anyone here before, but looking at it now, there is no sign of life at all.

"After a long time, is it just an empty room?"

He muttered secretly, and waved his staff again, as if he wanted to remove all the things in the room to see if there was anything hidden. After all, this is the magic world. Although someone has already checked the outside, up, down, left, and right, but the common sense of physical structure may not be effective in front of magic.

But just when Maca was about to make a move, some inconspicuous trace made him pause.

"what is that?"

As he thought about it, he walked towards the empty brass bed, and leaned down to take a closer look at a complicated indentation at the foot of the bed.

It can be seen that it must be the trace of someone knocking on purpose, and it is the kind of knocking many times. Even in the dent of the knock, there were still some blood stains that had already turned black.

"Is it Asaph or Miriam?"

Maca reached out and rubbed his fingers against the dent, stained with some dried blood powder, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it lightly.

Because after the blood dries up, the smell will also become much weaker, so he thought he couldn't smell any obvious smell. But who knew, just as he put it in front of his nose, a strange smell similar to musk rushed into his nostrils.

The smell is also very weak, but it can still be smelled so close - I have to say, it smells a bit bad!

Maca immediately removed her finger, then frowned quickly, as if thinking about what it smelled like just now. After a while, he froze suddenly, and after a while he smacked his lips with a strange expression.

"So... it's Miriam!"

Somehow, he already knew who was trapped here.

He stood up and clapped his hands, and then quickly returned to the dean's room outside, beckoning to Akinbad.

"Mr. Aginbad, I went in and took a look—although I didn't check it carefully, there should be nothing there. If you are worried, you can go inside and search the whole thing again."

The defensive magic on the door and the wall is still there, but the magic on the roof has been forcibly broken by Maca, so it is no longer difficult to get in.

As for the magic on the remaining walls, it will become a valuable research material in the future.

When Akinbad thanked him repeatedly for a while, and then led the curse breakers to climb up to the roof and enter in a hurry, Maca reached out and stopped Bill Weasley, who wanted to follow in and see something new.

"I have a temporary business, and I will be leaving soon..." he said, "You should have heard that there will be activities at Hogwarts at Christmas, and you must come at that time! And... say Really, as Ron's big brother, you'll have to figure it out for him...he's had some 'little problems' lately."

"Ron?" Bilge said, "Since when did he miss a 'little problem' in his life? It's all right, I'm sure he'll get through it on his own..."

Seeing Bill smiling nonchalantly, Maca shrugged.

"Okay! I may have taken things too lightly... In fact, it was a 'not so small' problem, and I'm afraid he won't be able to solve it this time, and you family members will have a headache along with it !"

"Uh..." Bill tilted his head, wondering, "What kind of problem? Let me tell you first, if he gets into trouble again, I won't help him—we Weasley family men should a."

"Oh, actually... To be precise, it's an 'emotional' issue." Maca thought for a while, and said subtly, "When you were a student at Hogwarts, didn't you say that you rejected the pursuit of several girls? ? I think you need to teach Ron this skill of yours."

To be honest, even Bill was shocked by Maca's words.

"That boy Ron, when did he become so popular?" He immediately leaned over to Maca, and said in astonishment, "Really? What changed? Did you use some love potion? Contraband? "

"This...cough cough," Maca said seriously, "It's not convenient for me to tell him about this, you can ask him himself and you will understand!"

"Ok……"

After hearing this, Bill pondered for a moment, and then sighed.

"If Mom finds out, she'll be jumping for joy! Ron actually has a girl chasing after him... What's there to say no to? Even if you're so ugly that you go out in the middle of the night and scare people to death, our Weasley family won't hold it back. Could it be that the girl's character is not good?"

Seeing Bill muttering to himself, Maca didn't want to waste any more at the moment. Anyway, he has said all he should say, and the big brother Ron will definitely go to Hogwarts when he turns back, so he doesn't have to worry about it.

Saying goodbye to Bill casually, regardless of whether the other party listened or not, he walked up the stairs while searching in his waist pocket.
