Ever since Maca left Blois Castle, there seemed to have been no similar accidents to the previous one. I have to say that this may be the only thing worth celebrating at the moment.
After receiving such good news from Mr. Blois through the ring, Maka resumed his research on the Devouring Mirror and Soul Wood... Oh, of course, now we have to put the very concerning The mysterious stone box also counts.
Although Maka ultimately maintained her original decision and did not open it easily - after all, no matter what influence the Devouring Mirror showed, the words engraved on the surface of the stone box were always Rowena Ravenclaw. Lao left.
If I had to choose between Haierbo and Rowena, Maka would naturally choose the latter... Even if it was Rowena, one of the four founders of Hogwarts, Maka would always Everyone is doubting.
There are so many things that I can’t figure out!
Until all the questions are answered...or, before one day, the stone box is wrapped in so many questions and is forced to a dead end, it would be better for it to remain unopened.
However, the feeling of always wandering in vain among piles of mysteries will still be exhausting in the end.
"Enns... wake up, it's time to get up!"
Enns was gently woken up by Maka from his sleep. When he opened his eyes in a daze, the first thing he saw was the pair of deep eyes on Maka's calm face.
Even if it was only for a moment, Kerns accurately captured the tiredness deep in those eyes without even knowing how long he had slept.
"Mr. McClain, are you... okay?" He frowned and said, "Also, what time is it now?"
However, Maka, who was sitting on the broken stone not far away, immediately shrugged towards him.
"Of course I'm fine. What can happen to me?" Maka said, "As for the time... Congratulations, you had a good sleep this night."
"It's been all night? Is it already morning?"
Enns was obviously surprised by this, because he really didn't expect that he could sleep so soundly in such a gloomy underground tomb, and he didn't even wake up once during the journey.
You know, various events have happened frequently recently, and he hasn't slept so soundly for a long time.
And just when Enns was deeply surprised that he was sleeping soundly, Maka had already taken out the meal basket again and placed it between the two of them like last night.
"Go get some water and wash up! Then come over for breakfast... We have to leave early today. There are a lot of things to do!"
Enns couldn't help but nodded subconsciously when he heard this, but he quickly asked with great concern:
"Sir, did you get any results from this night's research?"
Although Maka was not too surprised when Enns suddenly asked this, because he had long felt that Enns' temperament would lead to him asking sooner or later.
Right now, it's just that the time to ask is earlier than expected.
"Result?" Maka paused for a moment, then shook her head with a more or less subtle smile, "It might not be correct to say there is no result... After all, there is actually a result."
While saying this, he suddenly reached out and took out a square wooden box from his waist. Then, he first brought the wooden box in front of Enns, shook it, and said calmly:
"I finally figured it out with the soul wood—according to repeated experiments, I learned that although these wooden boards are surprisingly fragile and broken, they can indeed be used to seal the soul. Moreover, the effect in this regard is surprisingly good!"
"So you made such a small box out of the broken wooden boards that you dug out yesterday?" Enns scratched his head, "Are you planning to use it to continue experiments? For mice?"
"Oh, no! Of course that's not the case... There is no need to do the experiment anymore." Maka explained, "As for this box, if you only use it to hold the soul, it is naturally more than enough."
Having said this, Maka rushed Enns to wash up.
After waiting until both of them had finished their breakfast, Maka took another look at the Devouring Mirror and finally put it away with some reluctance, and then left the underground palace with Enns.
Without Maka's magical illumination, the underground tomb has returned to darkness, and it is not known when the next "guest" will be welcomed.
But for Maka, this place seems to have completely lost its value, and he will probably never come again.
…
Recently, all the fog that originally shrouded Kent has moved to London. Therefore, the large number of Blois Castle camps that were previously stationed around Kent have now followed the movement of the fog and have settled around London again.
However, because Maka had specifically reminded not to enter the foggy area for inspection, most of the men sent by Blois Castle just landed on the ground and set up camp, and no one went further inside.
Now, when Maka came to the main camp again, he saw many wizards belonging to the Blois family coming and going in the camp, and it seemed to be very lively.
This time, the person who came out to greet Maka was still the female person in charge whom Maka had met last time. She seemed very happy when she saw Maka's arrival, and even shook hands with Maka as soon as she came up.
"Mr. McLean," the capable witch sighed, "Maybe you already know - I sent the latest report document to the castle last night, which explains this matter. In fact, since After arriving in London, I don’t know if it was an illusion, but we all felt inexplicably depressed... "
"Depressed?"
I wanted to tell the other party directly about leaving Enns here, but when she heard what the other party said, Maka couldn't help but feel it carefully first.
To be honest, on a magical level, the obscure fluctuations coming from the London fog do exist. However, this doesn't just happen now. Even if it makes people feel uncomfortable, it shouldn't show up now.
"Have it?"
Because she didn't sense anything special, Maka could only blame this situation on the fact that they were not allowed to enter the foggy area to explore. When you know there is danger hidden inside but don’t know anything about it, the unknown will always bring invisible pressure and fear to people.
And this is not a problem that magic can cure - we can't give each of them a joy potion to try, right
"I will personally investigate and resolve this matter." Maka did not directly say that it might be a psychological problem, but just nodded and said, "But before that, I will introduce you to someone... him His name is Enns, and he is currently a student at Hogwarts..."
