"... In fact, I only figured out the truth of the whole thing not long ago - why did Rowena Ravenclaw leave a series of tests? Since she had a purpose There is a test left behind, but why is it always unclear? I followed the so-called test and tried my best to find various clues left by the four founders, but why do I seem to be going further and further away?"
Maka sat on the throne, looking at Hermione and Harry in front of her, as well as the other people under the steps, and told her secrets that he had never revealed to anyone in the past.
He seemed very calm and casual throughout the process of recounting every bit of the past, as if he had suddenly returned to the time when he was chatting in the Hogwarts library.
However, with Maka's concise and concise narration and the questions she asked herself, the secrets about the four founders of Hogwarts were gradually revealed in front of everyone, but they kept pulling everyone back to reality.
This allowed everyone to finally see for the first time what kind of heavy pressure Maka has shouldered alone in the name of his apparent genius over the years.
However, Maka himself didn't seem to have any special feelings. He just stated these questions that were originally his own lightly, and then quickly answered everyone's questions like he was asking himself:
"It wasn't until some time ago that I realized that the current 'disaster' had started after I discovered that the demon summoning technique performed by Haierbo only succeeded in descending on six demons... I'm afraid it started a thousand years ago. ”
"Six demons?" Hermione heard this and subconsciously repeated this sentence.
"Yes."
Maka nodded towards her, and there seemed to be a slight smile on the now inhuman face, but it looked so hideous and terrifying.
He seemed to realize how terrifying his current appearance was. He couldn't help but raise his hand and touch his cheek, and continued:
"The missing one is 'jealousy'."
As he spoke, Maka spread out one palm, then clasped his hands and counted:
"The black monument that sealed Herbo, the Gryffindor sword in Harry's hand, the mysterious ancient mirror that almost caused disaster at Hogwarts, the cursed blood that polluted the blood of the Blois family, and the The Box of Disaster in the Hufflepuff Chamber of Secrets, and of course..."
At this point, everyone saw Maka sighing slightly and saying in a very complicated and incomprehensible tone:
"And the 'Scroll of Truth' that put me on this path of no return... Hey, you know? Having excess curiosity and thirst for knowledge is sometimes a sin! It seems that no matter what you do, you have to have a degree."
He sighed and shook his head.
"In short, after I grouped these mysterious and terrifying things together and conducted a series of research," he raised the notes in his hand, "it was actually not difficult to find out what each of them represents - arrogance. , Wrath, Gluttony, Lust, Sloth, and Greed. Okay, the seven deadly sins, they were also mentioned in the ancient books of Druidism... So, what about jealousy? Where did the jealousy go?"
Maka asked herself another question, and then she didn't need anyone else to agree, and immediately said:
"It's gone! It was a dagger, but it's gone a long time ago. It ceased to exist thousands of years ago... According to Haierbo, he had already tried to use the demon summoning technique once a thousand years ago. However, they were blocked by the four founders of Hogwarts and were not completely successful. They only summoned a demon. Later, the demon was killed by Gryffindor and he was sealed by Slytherin, including the dagger. It was also taken away and destroyed by Ravenclaw.”
"But," he paused, looked at everyone, and then emphasized his tone slightly, "the disaster has not been stopped, or in other words, it has already started... Even if it's like Rowena· "Ravenclaw is so naturally intelligent. At that time, she didn't expect that the person who really made everything point to disaster was not Herbo or anyone else, but herself... just like me."
"What do you mean?" Hermione couldn't help but ask.
On the throne, Maka lightly shrugged upon hearing this.
"Actually, it's very simple to explain the whole thing," he said. "The fatal box cannot be opened, otherwise disaster will come instantly and no one can stop it... But the problem is that this case Things cannot be 'disclosed'."
Everyone was a little confused about what he said, but some people seemed to have understood something. He looked at the changes in the eyes of Hermione, Lupine, Snape and others, then nodded and said meaningfully:
"Rowner Ravenclaw is an adulterer. Just after she realized the truth - knowledge is sin. Those who know that there is endless disaster hidden in the box will inevitably be guided by unknown forces. Open it. So after Rowena left the entire plan and sealed the Box of Disaster with a seamless hard stone shell and heavy magic, he ended his life."
... ...
Is it a rule related to the law of cause and effect
To be honest, even Maka doesn't know this very well. He only gradually deduced this conclusion through the clues that gradually became clearer and his own personal experience.
And the stone box was probably entrusted by Ravenclaw to her friend Helga Hufflepuff, who was hardworking, simple, low-key, reliable, and always down-to-earth. Without knowing anything about the stone box, the latter hid this extremely dangerous ancient magic item for a thousand years based on just a word from his friend.
As for Slytherin and Gryffindor, the former should know something about it. With his shrewdness, he naturally noticed the potential dangers from Rowena's various actions, so he cooperated with the other party and directly participated in the follow-up plan. .
On the other hand, Gryffindor, Maka didn't know how much the powerful wizard known for his fighting prowess actually knew.
He could only make some guesses based on Harry's trial with the Sword of Gryffindor, and felt that although the other party lent his magic hat, he actually didn't know much about Ravenclaw's plan. It's just that because of the opponent's strength, he might have sensed the crisis early, so he left that kind of inheritance on the sword.
However, in the final analysis, there is only one sentence in Maka's heart - a thousand years is really too long, long enough to make all traces weather into sand, and it can no longer be pieced together to its original appearance.
Now he is sitting in the main hall, telling his friends the so-called "truth", but in fact it is just the truth for him. As for the truth about the four founders of Hogwarts, they have long since disappeared in the warm spring and cool autumn of the past.
