Just like the secret of the "closed school" that is not known to most people, this magic school that seems very elegant and gorgeous nowadays actually has a past that cannot be called glorious.
As a wizard fortress built solely for war, there was naturally no shortage of blood and killings, and there were even suspicions and betrayals.
Yes, these things must not be mentioned to the young wizards who studied there after the school was officially established. So just as the old butler said, the complicated and chaotic period before the school was founded has long been dusted off by the school and various forces that need this school to exist.
However, although the past disappeared like smoke, some things still remained in Beauxbatons after all. For example, the school rules were compiled and revised at the beginning of the school's establishment, or the large amount of solidified magic used for defense at that time, and... In fact, there are some magic books and notes hidden in Beauxbatons school that are not very innocent.
For wizards, the vast amount of magical knowledge collected, copied, and created by individuals is of course the most valuable thing. Among the books and notes owned by Beauxbatons, in addition to most of the regular books collected later, there are actually many powerful wizards who were stationed here during the fortress period, as well as dangerous dark wizards who were directly executed here. personal belongings.
Students are naturally not allowed to read books whose origins may not be clear and may even have a negative impact on readers, but professors and principals do not have such restrictions.
In fact, since it does contain a lot of dangerous but very practical magical knowledge, almost every principal will study it carefully.
After all, the road to magic has no end, right
And Mrs. Maxim... learned about some taboo research on the soul from one of the dark wizard's notes among those books and documents.
"When I was talking to Mr. Blois before, I also talked about some topics about the causes of living corpses. But...'soulology'?"
Seeing the girl who was heavily bound by magic chains but still struggling on the bed, Maxim's already frowned brows deepened.
"Black magic... is unforgivable... Well, this is a bottom line that must never be touched!"
Among the group of dark wizards, there is a clear classification for the study of life souls and magic alone, and that is "soulology". Most black magic, such as the invention of the three unforgivable curses, is almost certainly inseparable from the study of soul science.
However, if she wants to reverse the process of turning the girl in front of her into a living corpse, Ida Brandt, let alone whether she can succeed! At least if she wanted to do that, she would have to dabble in black magic first and become a... dark wizard herself.
Maxim needs Ida to be deactivated from the living corpse and needs her to become a witness to this incident, but is this really worth it? What's more, she wasn't completely sure yet.
"No... At present, although because of the chaos at the school gate, the Brandt family probably does not dare to do anything when so many eyes are focused on Beauxbatons, but this state cannot last long. If I continue If we continue to hesitate like this, Beauxbatons will really have only one option left: 'closing the school'!"
Thinking of this, she seemed to have finally made up her mind. She suddenly pulled out her wand and waved it vigorously towards the table beside her.
At that moment, many potions and alchemy tools immediately appeared on the table, filling the table full of them.
"Reversal of zombie transformation...reversal...soul...Yes, first of all, we need to check her soul state as carefully as possible, right? No, just to be on the safe side, repeat it a few times and compare it with each other."
After taking out many props, Maxim opened a notebook and started writing and drawing quickly in it.
She has a lot of knowledge in her head, but when it comes to actual use, she can't just follow the instructions. Especially, this is black magic related to the soul!
Throughout the night, Maxim continued to conduct research. He didn't even have time to pay attention to the wounds left by the fierce battle with Ida, who had turned into a living corpse. There was a lot of blood oozing out.
Unfortunately, magic research cannot achieve results in one night. She gradually discovered that even if she really just "followed the script" from the documents in her memory, it would take a lot of time to conduct in-depth analysis and verification.
It seems that it is not easy to be a dark wizard with brains.
When rays of morning light filtered through the gaps in the curtains and fell silently on the pages of the book, Maxim raised his head again, looked at the beams of light with a tired face and said to himself:
"If this continues... it will be too late."
After finishing her words, she put down the quill in her hand and turned her eyes to Ida on the bed. After being tied up for another night, the girl who turned into a living corpse not only did not calm down, but struggled even more fiercely. Judging from the state of the magic chain, at least Maxim thought... her power seemed to be getting stronger.
Everything seems to be forcing Madame Maxime, forcing her to go in the wrong direction.
"If... it's 'that' magic, with its integrity... maybe it can be done." Suddenly, she looked at Ida on the bed and murmured, "Yes... it doesn't matter if something happens to me. After all, with my power, here It doesn’t matter at all in this disaster. As long as Beauxbatons can be safe... that’s all, right?”
After mumbling this, Maxim finally gritted his teeth and picked up the quill on the notebook again. Then, she casually pulled out a blank piece of parchment and wrote something in a hurry.
After a moment, she dropped her quill, picked up her wand, stood up, and staggered toward the bed.
Only now can we clearly see that one of her legs has obviously lost its function long ago. Now she can barely walk, only with the help of the other leg and the magic wand.
If it was just a physical injury, it would not be incurable compared to Maxim's. It seemed that it must have been the result of quite serious magical damage.
It's just... It's just a leg, and it's obviously no longer within the scope of Maxim's concern.
"Ida Brandt... I want you to expose the conspiracy of the head of your Brandt family to President Akinbad and Miss Granger, and let him get absolute punishment. This is my reward for saving you, and it is also my reward." The price of saving you!”
"For... Beauxbatons."
