It is still the same rock hall full of weathered traces. The flat stone slabs on the ground appear scarred by the bite of time, and the stone pillars supporting the top wall are covered with corrosion patterns.
As for the stone throne located at the deepest part of the hall, it is even more revealing of the vicissitudes of time.
Maka stood at the door holding a ball of light, looked left and right in the hall, and then squatted down to carefully observe the floor in front of her.
"call-"
He blew lightly, and a cloud of lime immediately flew up, but he didn't pay attention. After blowing away some dust, he reached out and touched the scratches on the floor.
"It's true that they have all been damaged by weathering... So what happened at that time?"
Maka still clearly remembered that the last time he came here, something changed soon after he stepped into the hall. As if he accidentally touched something, the entire hall was restored to its original state, and Rowena's figure appeared.
After that, the complex formations on the floor began to move, leading him into a world that was almost like an illusion.
The scene of being an assassin in other people's memories was something he would never forget in his life!
However, he could figure out everything else, but he still had no clue about the initial change - even though there was indeed a magic circle carved on the floor of this hall back then, there was nothing left now. Without the runes and lines to build the formation, how could it still function
Yes, Maka wanted to see Rowena, so he came to the hall of the grotto at the bottom of the lake again after a long time.
Since the bronze eagle was completely destroyed in order to resist Haierbo, the test left by Rowena has been completely interrupted. Apart from here, Maka can't think of any other place where there is a possibility of seeing Rowena again. .
And there were some things for which he seemed to have to meet Rowena to truly find the answer.
To be honest, Maka didn't really want to see her. After all, the result of meeting her might not always be good. However, no matter how carefully he resisted until now, it seemed that he would eventually reach this point.
"Since it's not on the ground... could it be on the ceiling?"
After carefully looking at the damaged scratches on the floor, Maka shook her head, and then casually threw the ball of light in her left hand above the hall.
It's a pity that there are no other marks on the top wall except the chisel marks left when the hall was carved out.
"Okay! It seems not."
Muttering like this, he couldn't help but hesitate, because he didn't actually have to find out the reason. As long as the situation that triggered Rowena's appearance was not a one-time event, then he only needed to walk inside like last time and he would be able to see Rowena.
As for whether they can communicate, that will be decided at that time.
However, Maka didn't want to give up just like that - while trying to find a way to see Rowena, he didn't want to lose the initiative.
When he came here today, he was looking forward to talking to the other party on an equal footing.
But soon, more than ten minutes passed before he knew it. He just stood at the door but still couldn't figure out the reason.
After hesitating for a while, Maka decided to go in and take a look first. If Rowena appeared as soon as he entered, it seemed that he could only honestly express his full admiration for the opponent's strength that existed thousands of years ago.
However, just before he took the first step into the hall, he finally felt a wave of magic power that he had not noticed the last time he came.
It was a force that was constantly flowing in the hall, complex, subtle, yet indescribably exquisite. This made Maka finally realize how Rowena kept the introduction to the illusion magic in a weathered and dilapidated ordinary rock hall.
in short…
"Is a complete formation sealed in the space of this hall in the form of magic wave?"
It must be said that this is an extremely ingenious idea that requires considerable in-depth knowledge of rules and magic to complete.
Because it is invisible, unless one has a strong enough magic perception ability, it will be difficult to detect its existence.
And a wizard of Maka's level, even if he could detect it, could not make any modifications to it. At most, he could only temporarily destroy it. After a period of time, it will automatically collect the magic power in the space according to the established rules and return to its original fluctuation state.
"Should I say... 'As expected of Rowena Ravenclaw'?"
Maka thought for a while, but suddenly took back the foot that she had just extended into the hall, and withdrew again. Then, he took out a pile of cards, lowered his head to select them, and then suddenly raised his hand and scattered the selected cards into the hall.
Seeing those cards flying around like butterflies, and then falling into their respective places one after another, Maka couldn't help but chuckle.
"If Hermione were here, I think I might give her another compliment!"
Without some of Hermione's suggestions, the rune cards would not have become so useful - the stone powder paint made the anti-interference ability of the rune cards rise sharply. Even in this environment full of magic fluctuations, Maka can still operate freely. He can lay out the formations he needs and be able to activate them smoothly.
After scattering these cards, Maka patted her dusty hands, straightened her collar and hem, and then calmly stepped into the hall with long strides.
He allowed those magic waves to sweep through his body continuously. When he walked to the center of the hall and stood still for a moment, a familiar vibration of soul rules swept through the entire stone hall.
Afterwards, the surrounding scenery changed rapidly like when he first came.
The extremely severe signs of weathering have disappeared, the throne, stone pillars, floor, everything has become brand new, and the lamps on the pillars on both sides have also lit up with a bright and natural light.
It is worth mentioning that the cards that Maka had just sprinkled on the ground disappeared.
"Ta...ta...ta...ta..."
Suddenly, a series of slow and light footsteps sounded outside the hall door behind him, approaching slowly and slowly, exactly the same as last time.
Maka, who still had his back to the door, frowned slightly, a little worried that he might not be able to see Rowena who could communicate with him normally today, because in fact, it was very likely that it was just an image without wisdom and memory.
To put it bluntly, he was just betting that he could have a good meeting with Rowena here.
"coming."
Maka said secretly in her heart.
