Ron kept the little glass bottle filled with ashes that Dumbledore had left him hanging around his neck, even though he never knew what it did.
But now, he might know.
"Crack... bang!"
Suddenly, the thumb-sized glass bottle burst open and sprayed out a golden-red flame. The flame seemed blazing, but it did not cause any damage to Ron's body.
And at the next moment, the flames quickly spread to Ron's body and enveloped him.
This entire process is almost silent, and even the magic power fluctuations are only restricted to the flame itself without any escape.
In this way, after the flames covering Ron's entire body lasted for a few seconds, those flames suddenly shrank and condensed into the form of a fire phoenix.
What is worth mentioning is that the appearance of this phoenix looks eerily similar to Fawkes, the phoenix raised by Dumbledore.
Oh no, maybe this is Fox originally? What Dumbledore gave to Ron was probably the ashes left by Phoenix Fawkes when he periodically resurrected from the ashes.
But after Dumbledore's "death", Fawkes quickly disappeared, and no one knows where it went. Now this fire phoenix that emerged from the ashes has no idea how it is related to Fox.
However, this may no longer be important.
The fire phoenix was seen circling and flying around Ron for several times, and finally stopped on his back, which was lying on the ground. And in the next second, the fire phoenix, which looked very much like Fox, suddenly lowered its head, and a drop of crystal clear tears silently slid down and landed on Ron's blackened head.
The tears of real phoenixes have a strong therapeutic effect, not to mention detoxifying and healing wounds. Its life-giving effect is said to be able to revive anyone who is still alive. It is an extremely precious and rare natural elixir in the magic world.
Not to mention that this fire phoenix doesn't even have a physical body, and the light is made of flames, so where did the tears come from. At least if these tears can have an effect on Ron, it means that he is most likely not completely dead.
He is really dead and nothing can save him!
However, after a drop of Phoenix tears fell on Ron's head, there was no reaction for a long time. He was still lying on the cold ground, lying silently and motionless.
After tilting its head and looking left and right at Ron, the fire phoenix seemed to have given up halfway, then suddenly fluttered its wings and flew into the air gracefully.
In the blink of an eye, the golden-red flame quickly extinguished, and the dazzling fire phoenix also disappeared. Only Ron's body, which had lost its breath and heartbeat, was left lying among the rocks, cold and indistinguishable from the surrounding rubble.
…
No one upstairs, including Maca, knew about the entire change downstairs in the church. At the moment, those dark wizards are still trying to maintain a stalemate with Maka, hoping that Maka will let them go in order to gain a chance of survival.
However, even if they still want to delay, it depends on whether Maka is happy or not.
"Okay, no matter which of you has killed someone and which one has not, it actually doesn't matter to me. I just want to know the real relationship between you and Haierbo-"
Just as he was speaking, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed at someone casually, and read unabashedly:
"Legilimency."
There is no interrogation that is more accurate and convenient than directly reading other people's memories and thoughts. However, when he suddenly used Legilimency in public, none of the companions present dared to move.
They just watched the companion's eyes change from clear to confused. The man stood there with a dull expression, allowing his thoughts to be read by Maka.
After a while, Maka put down her hand and looked around with her mouth closed.
"I think I regret to tell you that Haierbo has obviously left a little 'little gift' in your body... I don't know that you have any idea that the part in your body and soul may be 'detonated' at any time. What are your views on the hidden dangers? I only know that maybe no matter what achievements you use to please Haierbo, he will one day treat you as disposable cannon fodder."
"What?"
As soon as Maka finished speaking, almost all the dark wizards subconsciously touched their chests and abdomens - Haierbo had indeed done something to them, for example, directly planting a seed known as the "source of power" into their bodies.
There is no doubt that although these guys seem to have their own will on the surface, they are essentially the same as those apprentices.
It's just that the hidden dangers in their bodies have not yet exploded.
"Mr. McClain, this..." the witch just couldn't help but said, "What should I do?"
"Well?"
Hearing this, Maka suddenly shook her head, and then changed the topic:
"By the way, I have another question here... Can any of you tell me what this plague curse is all about?"
He did not find any relevant information in the head of the wizard he used Legilimency just now, so this shows that the so-called "plague curse" should at least be something only a few people know about.
But after he asked this question, he could see that many people actually wanted to get an opportunity and method to solve the hidden dangers in the body by answering his questions.
However, looking at their eager expressions of wanting to speak but not knowing what to say, it seems that no one knows about this
"No one knows?"
Maka glanced at them again, as if urging them in this way, but the effect was obviously not good.
"Sorry, Mr. MacLean... The 'plague curse' you mentioned was just a guy... Oh no, I mean, are you referring to this gentleman's situation?"
Tucker, whose intestines and stomach were broken, was lying among the people, and he was very eye-catching. In addition, Maka also looked at him several times at the beginning. So much so that when many people heard Maka mention plague and curse, they immediately looked at Tucker's terrifying abdomen.
"Yes, this Mr. Auror was struck by the plague curse... Although the specific situation requires further examination and analysis, how exactly he was struck by the curse requires someone with knowledge to answer it for me. "
But after waiting for a while, she found that no one came to tell the truth, which made Maka frown.
"No one knows?"
Just as Maka was speaking, she suddenly raised her hand again, shocking everyone and taking a step back.
