Maka held up the silver chain on the small bottle and hung it in front of her eyes. From such a close distance, he could clearly feel that the ashes in the bottle were emitting a soft but strong magic wave, which was a power derived from fire and life.
"This should be the ashes left behind when the phoenix was reborn from the ashes," he thought for a moment, then nodded slightly as if to confirm, "and it is a very rare material for natural rebirth."
Hearing what Maka said, everyone around the hospital bed felt a little confused.
Wizards have not done much research on magical animals like the phoenix, which are extremely rare in individuals. In addition, the time span for each natural rebirth of the phoenix is quite long, so this kind of ashes is the rarest of rarest.
"What is the use?"
Ron's simple and straightforward question accurately addressed the confusion in the hearts of everyone present for the first time.
"I don't dare to say that I understand," Maka shrugged, "But it can probably be used to prepare potions, right? To heal injuries and the like..."
"Really?" When Ron heard this, he hesitated for a moment and then said readily, "Then why not give it to you! Can you try it?"
"No, although I'm glad you can say that, I think it's better to forget it!" Maka shook her head decisively, "It's just a little bit, too little, not even enough for research."
"Oh... Okay then!" Ron reached out and took it, and simply hung it around his neck. "In that case, I'd better wear it! The professor put a silver chain on it, so he probably asked me to wear it. Get on it."
After that, everyone in the ward chatted for a while about Dumbledore's will. Soon, the content of their conversation gradually turned to the Order of the Phoenix.
Lupine was the first to mention the Order of the Phoenix. Probably because of Voldemort's death, they no longer had any scruples about the children present. And for this reason, he first raised the question about the future direction of the Order of the Phoenix.
From the beginning, this secret organization was planned and established by Dumbledore to resist Voldemort and his Death Eaters.
But just yesterday, Voldemort died painfully at Hogwarts, and not long after that, two elite wizard teams, led by Kingsley and Aberforth, one overtly and the other covertly, directly Tracked Voldemort's lair.
Since Voldemort needed to launch an attack on Hogwarts this time, he took most of the combat power away, so the two teams of the Order of the Phoenix gained a lot this time.
Perhaps in a few days, Azkaban will usher in the long-lost excitement.
Therefore, the Order of the Phoenix, which had originally set its sights on Voldemort and his henchmen, seemed to be able to take advantage of this momentum and retreat.
only…
"...Maka, is Voldemort really dead this time?" Lupine asked hesitantly.
Of course Voldemort is not dead, or rather, not "completely dead". Almost all of that guy's Horcruxes were held in Maka's hands, and each one contained a fragment of his soul. As long as all the Horcruxes are not destroyed, theoretically, Voldemort can be resurrected an unlimited number of times.
If we follow Maka's original plan, destroying the Horcrux and killing Voldemort is the only way to avoid future troubles.
But now, the power of the Bewitched Monument is curled up on one of Voldemort's souls, falling silent and awakening with him. If Voldemort really dies, those mysterious forces will bring terrible disasters to the whole of Europe... and even the whole world.
Maka has only initially come into contact with the rules of the soul, but has not mastered the Bewitching Monument. He had a certain understanding of the formation of the Black Death Apostles, but the fundamental problem was still in that inexplicable energy. Compared to a creature's soul, that kind of power is like a tarsal maggot, and he hasn't figured out a solution yet.
So now, he could only rely on Voldemort himself to resist that kind of power. As long as he doesn't die, the power from the Bewitching Monument will not be fully awakened. This seems to be the only way to deal with it at the moment.
But, should some of these circumstances be disclosed? Maka leaned on the soft pillow, thought for a moment, and then shook her head.
Among them, the passes are all closely linked. If you talk about one, you have to talk about the second. Otherwise, even if you pick it up and talk about it, you won't be able to explain it thoroughly. But if you tell them all, it would be a bit shocking.
Do you want to tell them that Voldemort is nothing at all? If you kill that guy, will a more powerful enemy pop up
Not to mention that Maka still clearly remembers that it was mentioned in the "Book of Sin" that there will be a second and third one after a period of time... No matter how strong he is by then, he will probably not be able to do it. You will fall into a situation where you only care about the beginning but not the end.
"I think... Voldemort will indeed be resurrected," he said carefully. "Maybe it will take another ten years, or maybe even longer... who knows?"
Maka's words suddenly made the originally relaxed atmosphere become much more solemn.
"But trust me, it's not a big deal -" he waved his hand, gesturing for everyone to relax, "just as everyone's strengths determine how far he can go, and everyone's weaknesses determine how far he can go. Voldemort always He thinks that his weakness lies in death, so he managed to turn himself into that ghostly form... But his weakness was not covered up because of this, but it became more conspicuous, didn't it?"
"Do you know how to kill him completely?" Tonks asked quickly.
"No, I don't have an answer for the time being," Maka shook her head. "I only know that even if he is resurrected, it will be one day in the future."
"Then what should we do?" Harry frowned and asked, "Once he is resurrected and comes back, won't he mess everything up again? Someone may even die because of it..."
"What else can we do?" Maka put on a natural expression, "Take advantage of the time before he is resurrected to find a way to completely solve him... When it comes to time, this is the most popular thing now. It’s time!”
Seeing how relaxed Maka was, everyone couldn't help but slowly relax. Yes, it took more than ten years for Voldemort to be resurrected this time, but everyone got rid of him without knowing that the other party would be resurrected. Now that everyone knows that guy will be resurrected, it is much easier to target him than this time.
"As for the future plans of the Order of the Phoenix, let's list this matter as one of the action goals first!"
It's always good to have a direction, at least it gives everyone a reason to get together and do something. This organization was started by Dumbledore, but there is no need to die with Dumbledore. It would be a good ending to continue it.
After this somewhat heavy topic came to an end, everyone started chatting about some pleasant topics. For example, although there are only a few days left of the Christmas holiday, we can still enjoy the relaxing aftertaste for the time being. This is worth discussing.
The sunshine outside the window is very bright, as if to celebrate the retreat of evil, opening up a particularly attractive warmth in this cold winter.
…
Deep under the mountains of Albania, in the huge catacombs.
Darkness still shrouds everything in the underground palace, cutting off the light from the surface, giving it a creepy feel at all times.
The stale air flows slowly in the tomb passages of the underground palace, entering the tomb through the air holes, and then pouring into every corner from the passages. The kind of dust full of ancient atmosphere, hiding the mystery of ancient times, is the flavor of the era that explorers love most.
If you walk a few steps along the tomb passage, you will find that you can only hear the echo of your own footsteps. There are no living people here, and perhaps no dead people. Few people will disturb the silence here.
And right in the middle of the underground palace, a simple mirror stood silently in the middle of a stone room. On the ground around where it stood, a large number of ancient magic texts and complex intertwined lines shone with faint blue fluorescence, spreading from the middle to the walls of the stone chamber.
As the dazzling rune pattern flickered on and off, a wave of magic power spread faintly, tightly binding the power of the ancient mirror in a small space.
If someone could sense magic like Maka, they would find that the magic fluctuations here are astonishingly strong. That obscure and strange force is shrinking and expanding little by little, expanding its scope a little bit every time.
Maka suppressed this ancient magic mirror here with a rune array. He had planned to completely seal it, but it was a pity that he could not completely do it. But even so, this is a very good result.
In the future, as long as he comes to strengthen the rune array within a fixed period of time, he can continue to suppress the ancient mirror here until he finds a way to solve it once and for all.
But he never expected that at this moment, a strange symbol suddenly appeared on the originally hazy ancient mirror. This rune looks somewhat similar to the soul rule rune he obtained from the Bewitching Monument, but in fact it is different.
And at the same time that rune quietly emerged, in the main tomb at the deepest part of the underground palace, the soul rune also appeared in the center of the tablet of Bewitchment.
At this moment, the two runes that were half an underground palace apart actually echoed each other. There was a slight flicker, as if there was some mysterious connection between the two.
After a while, the two runes disappeared silently, and the underground palace seemed to be calm again. Only the dim light of the rune array continued to flicker and shine, working hard every minute and every second to tightly confine the source of the disaster.
