Chapter 1267: Rebooting the Book of Sin
Almost every British wizard knows that through the window of the red-brick department store called "Taotao Co., Ltd." on the streets of London, you can reach the waiting hall of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries, one of the most famous hospitals in British magic
But when it comes to the floors above this old department store, not many people go back and pay attention to it.
In fact, in order to avoid the Muggles coming and going in the city of London, the windows upstairs were enchanted. In the daytime, those windows automatically show people working inside, making it look like an office building that has been rented all year round.
And if anyone can find a way to go in and take a look, they will immediately find that it is simply an empty building that looks like it has been used for many years on the outside, but it is empty inside.
But today, on the top floor of a vacant building that has not been entered for decades, there is a figure standing in the middle of the floor without saying a word.
Obviously, there was nothing here, and only a few thick pillars of support were somewhat unsightly.
But suddenly, the figure suddenly waved his hand, and the load-bearing pillars used to support the floor disintegrated and shattered one after another, and then disappeared out of thin air.
But even though the load-bearing columns were gone, the entire floor was still intact, as if they weren't needed in the first place.
For a moment, the entire floor seemed extremely empty.
"Hopefully enough."
I only heard the figure muttering softly, and the next moment, a little light suddenly appeared in the middle of the empty floor, and spread out in all directions in an instant.
It's just a blink of an eye, and the entire floor is illuminated.
It was only at this moment that the figure standing in the middle was completely revealed as the light spread, and there was no doubt that it was not Maca, who else could it be?
And at this moment, I saw him fumbling around his waist casually, and took out a thickly bound book from his pocket.
"Bang la la"
I only flipped through it roughly, but I didn't see Maca look closely, and soon the book was turned to the last page.
At this moment, you can see that there is nothing else on that page, only patches of dense symbols and lines, and ordinary people will definitely only be dazzled when they look at it.
Oh no, in fact, it's not just "ordinary people", even Maca herself, there is not much to do with this thing.
He only knew that this was a very special spherical three-dimensional rune array, and it was the kind related to the rules of time. As for the rest, to be honest, he has always been unable to decipher it.
After all, although he had seen someone show him on the spot, he still remembered the appearance of the person wrapped in it in a constant cycle of floating and flickering.
Yes, and in the last moment, the shocking scene of the entire three-dimensional rune array collapsing and annihilating along with the old man inside is also fresh in my memory.
This book is the original "Book of Sin".
He remembered very well that this seemingly mysterious three-dimensional array diagram was actually flawed, otherwise the "future self" at that time would not have died tragically in front of him.
That's right, it's "a tragic death on the spot", and it's the kind that died so much that there was not even scum left.
Now, Maca suddenly thought of opening this book, naturally not because of Delphi's confession, she went crazy, and dared to try to use the rune array on the last page to forcibly break through the shackles of the rules of time.
But if he had to say it, he did catch a possibility from Delphi's words......
After staring at the intricate runes and lines for a long time, she saw Maka suddenly take out her staff and slam it on the floor at her feet.
In an instant, he saw that the originally flat floor under his feet suddenly began to twist incessantly, and lines that were flat or straight suddenly rose from the bottom of his staff and gradually spread out in all directions.
At first glance, it looks as if there is a large, invisible hand carving on the floor, slowly but firmly.
It seems that he wanted to reproduce the set of rune arrays on the last page of the Book of Sin directly to the floor...... What is he going to do here?
Time passed little by little, and the night outside the building continued to become deeper and deeper.
Kingsley and Sirius each lead the Muggle army and wizarding forces against the enemy, Harry forms a rescue team with Charlie and Bill, and even Neville is protecting the Muggle Queen and Prime Minister at Buckingham Palace.
It can be said that many people are doing everything they can to resist to ensure that London is not easily overrun by the mad dark wizards that Helbo has brought out.
The movements of the battles have been rising and falling in all parts of the city that has sunk into darkness, but there is no intention of stopping.
However, Maca was still silently carving the rune array, as if she had turned a deaf ear to everything in the outside world.
But even so, no one would complain about why he didn't go out to help, obviously as long as he made a move, the battle situation everywhere would be much better.
Because almost everyone knows very well in their hearts that the real big trouble is, in the final analysis, on Helbo. At the moment, the big guys are busy in a hurry, and even the battle for their lives is probably just the most inconspicuous part of the whole situation.
And Maca clearly knows this better than anyone else.
……
About half an hour later, it was still the top floor of the building, and most of the floor was covered with various interspersed lines.
On the surface, the lines may seem chaotic, but if you look closely, you can see that each one seems to have hidden patterns.
For example, the two most obvious rules in the large number of lines engraved in this array are: the outer ones are thicker, and the more central ones are thinner; The thicker the more distorted, and the finer the more regular.
It is the combination of these straight and curved lines that forms such a huge and chaotic circular array.
After a few seconds, Maca, who was holding the staff and looking intently at the book in her hand, suddenly looked away from the page, and only after carefully reading the massive lines on the floor did she exhale softly.
The accuracy of this array diagram is extremely high, and just drawing it has already made him feel quite difficult. More than half an hour has passed, and he has just reproduced the line structure on the floor, but he still has to choose to relax and rest for a while.
“…… Next, there are the rule runes and various ancient magic scripts. ”
Maca muttered to herself silently as she pulled a second, equally thick book from her waist pocket.
Just by looking at the words "Book of Sin" on the cover, you can see that this is undoubtedly a new version of the magic notes that he rewrote himself after he got the original "Book of Sin".
Then, he threw the new version of the Book of Sin in front of him in the air, and controlled it to spread out automatically, turning to the records of his research on various ancient magic texts.
The lines of the frame array are important, but they represent how to use the runes to match and combine the frame parts; But as the part of the rune itself that really works, it is naturally even more inmissible.
Therefore, even if a large number of different kinds of ancient magic scripts had already been memorized by him, he still had to compare them one by one in the subsequent drawings, and he did not allow the slightest mistake in every stroke.
Having prepared for the next step in advance, he rubbed his sore temples and walked to the wall, leaning against the wall rather tiredly.
"Delphi, though your approach ...... I can't agree with it, but I still want to thank you. Without your information, even if I could have speculated on Helbo's plot myself, I might never have caught the slightest hint of it. ”
"Of course, the one from the future...... I want to thank you as well. If it weren't for your death, I wouldn't have thought that this array would actually be able to be used like this! ”
Maca thought secretly in his heart, and then, he put these thoughts aside for a while, emptied his brain and forced himself to recuperate.
There was no way, because all the refreshing potions would affect the accuracy of his mental power to a certain extent, so he could only rely on this most basic way to recover his energy.
But after ten minutes, Maca, who had not fully recovered her state, straightened up again and walked briskly to her original position.
"Go ahead!"
As he spread out both books in front of him and the staff that had never left his hand on the floor again, the first Phoenician script, which he was most familiar with, slowly emerged from his feet.
Then, the second, third, fourth......
One after another, the inscriptions formed an inscription in specific places around it, and because of the extraordinary familiarity of the macha, it produced a wonderful sense of rhythm.
However, the magic inscriptions and rule runes in that array combined amounted to tens of thousands. Even if he wasn't slow, it would take hours to portray such a whole set to the end.
Not to mention, the further he went, the less familiar he became, and the time it took probably increased exponentially.
But even so, Maca still didn't hesitate for a minute, he only knew that she had to complete this formation, no matter how much time it took.
Before I knew it, half an hour had passed, and there were already more than a thousand magic inscriptions on the floor;
Before you know it, an hour has passed in the same hurry. There were nearly a thousand more magic inscriptions around Maca, but the speed was faintly reduced;
Before I knew it, a full two hours had passed, but the number of magic words on the floor was far from reaching four thousand, and was only gradually increasing around three thousand five hundred.
And at this time, he still had a considerable distance from the rule runes that were the most difficult to draw by hand.
Obviously, it was because his understanding of the entire set of formation diagrams was still shallow that he would draw it so hard. If you can analyze it in advance, it will be much faster.
However, this thing is something that the future maca spent a lifetime constructing, and it is impossible to complete the analysis in a short time.
Therefore, he can only reproduce it like this, hard-headed and in the most stupid way.
