Rowena's husband was the person Macca saw when she opened an experimental notebook left there in Rowena's isolated island tower.
But when Maca knew that person's name was "Youn", a lot of time had passed.
Now, when this person who cannot even be found in historical records appears in front of Maka. This subtle feeling is naturally imaginable.
Yes, another "old immortal".
To be honest, when he guessed that this old man might be related to Rowena, he felt very complicated. After all, that woman Rowena has been full of contradictions for him since a long time ago.
"Okay... Then, if you don't mind, I'll call you Yun." Maka thought about it for a moment, then waved her hand impatiently, "You deliberately led me here at any cost. What do you want to do? What are you telling me? There are Dementors all around us now. According to what you said, Haierbo must be impossible to get close... What you want to say can be said now."
While asking these words, Maka waved his hand, and a piece of silver-white light mist immediately rose up in his palm, as if there was suddenly a ball of silver flame in his hand.
Immediately, a large number of dementors surrounding them seemed to be panicked and hurriedly backed away.
The old man looked at the bright color and showed a sigh of relief.
"The Patronus Charm without a wand or a curse, after so many years, I never thought that I would be able to see it again with my own eyes..." He sighed first, and then said with regret, "It seems that you are so concerned about my identity. I have some understanding, and it seems that you don’t want to see me appear.”
"I'm sorry," he paused and nodded slightly, "Since you don't like to chat with me... then let's get to the point!"
At this point, Old Youn suddenly pulled his gaze back from the silver mist and met Maka's gaze again.
"I know that 'he' has reappeared in the world; I also know that you have killed him once." He said slowly, his tone was very heavy, but at least he didn't cough this time, "And I I also know that you must have been thinking about how many Horcruxes 'his' has produced in total during this period, right?"
After hearing this, Maka nodded happily - people said that at this level, he had nothing to hide.
He wanted to know now what exactly this Ewan Ravenclaw knew.
When the other party was willing to tell what he knew, Maka didn't want to interrupt. All he had to do was judge the authenticity of these words.
Perhaps because he knew Maka's thoughts, Old Yoon did not stop talking.
"No need to think about it anymore, McClain, I can tell you clearly now." He said calmly, "'His' Horcrux has only been one from beginning to end—"
Just as he was talking, the old man suddenly raised his hand and made a shaky circle.
"'The Devouring Mirror'," he said, "This is the only Horcrux... Salazar told Rowena at first, and later Rowena told me. That's the only origin of 'his' Horcrux. The source of the unknown disaster is the floor-standing round mirror that existed in ancient times, which Rowena calls the 'Swallowing Mirror'."
"Because 'he' knows clearly that every time the soul is divided, it will lose part of its spirit. And once it is divided into more than seven parts, it will never be able to become whole again."
When Old Yoon said this, Maka subconsciously glanced at the surrounding dementors - why did Halpo know this "clearly"
Obviously, the answer was right in front of him.
"Or it can be said," Maka couldn't help but secretly said in her heart, "If the soul is divided into more than seven parts, and if all the Horcruxes are destroyed, the maker of the Horcruxes will obtain eternal life in another form. Already…”
Of course, that would be a "meaningless immortality" achieved in a strange space that is only "one step away" from death, in a state of complete loss of consciousness.
Seeing that Maka accepted his statement almost without surprise, a little doubt appeared on Old Yoon's wrinkled face.
"Do you know that mirror?" He asked tentatively, "Could it be that it has also been born..."
"Maybe!" Maka shook her head, "You continue to talk about your story."
"Oh... okay! Cough cough cough..." Old Youn finally couldn't help coughing a few more times, and then panted hard, "Since you know that thing, I think you should also understand. 'His' Although there is only one Horcrux, it is worth thousands of them... No one knows the origin of the Devouring Mirror, and the method of destroying it is almost impossible."
"But?" Maka found it difficult to hear, so she simply said the word for him.
"Sigh... Young man, wouldn't it be better to be more patient? I am a dying person who can wait for so long..." Old Youn said with a bitter smile, "Okay, but! The smart Rowena thought of a shocking idea. Gu Shuojin’s method and gave me the task of implementing this plan.”
"oh?"
Maka couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she heard this.
He is very willing to listen to this so-called "method that shakes the past and sparks the present". As for whether this method is true, he can try to prove it through his own research.
After all, even if the mirror is not Haierbo's Horcrux, Maka hopes to destroy it as soon as possible. That kind of thing is almost like an out-of-control nuclear power plant. Anyone who wants to stay around is in trouble!
"any solution?"
Hearing Maka ask this, the smile on Old Yoon's face became obviously more bitter.
"Do you like astronomy?"
He suddenly asked such an inexplicable question, which seemed extremely abrupt in such an important conversation.
"What happened to astronomy?"
Maka frowned immediately, but he could somewhat understand that the answer to this question might be very closely related to that plan.
When Old Youn heard this, he lowered his eyes slightly and pointed at the dark clouds that were gradually dissipating. And above the dense clouds, there must be bright stars covering the sky wall, right
"Disaster stars, meteorites, or comets... you can call them whatever you want. They are coiled around our world, very close to them... "
"And there is a very special one among them," he pointed at the sky. "It is about to pass by us."
Maka actually knew about this. Moreover, he believed that the centaurs in the Forbidden Forest suddenly wanted to move away because they noticed some signs about the coming comet.
In fact, even the Muggle world accidentally discovered the comet last year. Recently, many people have been paying attention to this wonderful show brought to mankind by the mysterious universe①.
However, what is the purpose of this old man bringing up this matter now
"Don't tell me that Rowena wants you to pull a comet down and smash it into the mirror!" Maka's eyes widened with surprise on her face, "That's a large comet with a diameter of at least 40 kilometers. , don’t say it’s impossible to do it, even if it can be done, do you want to destroy the world?”
"So I just said," Old Eun said, waving his hands, "It is a 'very special' disaster star - Rowena told me that it has a total of two cores! And what we have to do is Just let them collide with each other once under precise calculations and 'tear' a piece of about 300 feet (100 meters)."
"Huh," Maka sneered, with an indescribable feeling in her heart, "Do you know what you are talking about? Precise calculations? Is this a joke that you ancient wizards like to make?"
Seeing Maka's disbelief, Old Yoon had no choice but to nod.
"Yes... To be honest, when I learned about this plan from Rowena, my reaction was even more exaggerated than yours." The old man said helplessly, "Believe me, I have to wait for a thousand years for an incredible plan. , this feeling is really indescribable.”
"But there are many people who will do whatever it takes to achieve eternal life!" Maka curled her lips and said.
"That's right... Ahem..." The old man closed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, "It's been too long since that year, and all the evidence will expire with time... Not to mention, this is just a backup plan. ”
The moment she heard this last sentence, Maka was suddenly startled.
"Backup plan?" he asked quickly, "What do you mean?"
"Huh? You... don't know?" Old Yoon was a little shocked when he saw Maka's confused face, "Haier... no, I mean, isn't 'he' a body that was destroyed by you this time?"
"Yeah, so what?" Maka frowned.
"Don't you know that the first plan to destroy the Devouring Mirror was personally planned and responsible for by Salazar Slytherin?"
The old man seemed to have noticed something was wrong, and his eyes suddenly narrowed, and Maka immediately felt a sudden powerful wave of magic power from him.
"It seems you don't know anymore..." He stared at Maka with a sharp look in his eyes, "I thought, judging from the information I sent people to investigate, you were not only strong, but also had a good heart... Which Have you ever thought that you were also controlled by that guy?"
At this moment, the tension in the air rose sharply. Seeing this, Maka subconsciously took out the staff and paid close attention to every tiny movement of the opponent.
But he was still thinking, because it quickly occurred to him that Enns might not have told everything at that time.
However, in the current situation, it is temporarily impossible for him to speak.
Because he knew that if he made the slightest move, he would be hit by an attack like a sudden storm.
"Keeping your senses, it seems like it's going to be a tough battle..."
Old Youn was still huddled in the wheelchair, but the magic power fluctuations on his body made Maka unable to ignore it at all.
But the next moment.
"Wait, what is that?"
