To be honest, due to the extremely sharp nature of the Gryffindor Sword, it is often not very "good-looking" when fighting with it.

And Maca had already reminded Harry about this.

"Whew-"

Harry gritted his teeth and pulled his sword off the shoulders of a crazed dark wizard, then frowned and quickly stepped back.

"Harry, are you alright?"

In fact, when he first encountered the enemy, Neville was indeed surprised by Harry's performance - his nimble movements and extraordinary reflexes made the other dark wizard fail several spells in a row, and he couldn't keep up with Harry's rhythm at all.

But after Harry swung the Gryffindor sword and severed the opponent's arm with a single blow, the surprise in Neville's heart quickly disappeared as he watched the blood gush from the gushing blood.

The fighting was brutal, death was not uncommon in London, and Neville and Harry had indeed done a great deal of psychological preparation. But even if they can accept the end of death, they may not be able to accept such a bloody process.

Harry, in particular, the touch of the blade piercing through flesh and bones was something he would never forget.

"Well, it's okay...... Maybe! ”

Holding back the nausea that kept churning in his heart, Ha used his left hand to hold his right hand, which was still trembling slightly, and swallowed his saliva with difficulty.

No way, at least this encounter has to be brought to an end. Because even if he wanted to stop, the crazy dark wizard on the other side, who had a broken arm but seemed to be unconscious, obviously wouldn't agree.

"Avada suo!"

Harry was standing beside Neville to breathe a sigh of relief, but he had barely been able to stand still when a green light came from the other side. When he saw this, he was busy pushing Neville away from him, and he also avoided it.

"Harry, since you've become so fast, I think you might as well see if you can go around behind him and attack with a spell!"

Neville was not slow to react when he was pushed away by Harry, and then waved his wand and cast an obstacle spell in the opposite direction.

Harry couldn't help but nod his head when he heard this.

"Well, I'll try—"

Without looking at the severed limb on the ground as much as possible, Harry took a deep breath and slammed his feet. The next moment, I saw that his whole body rushed out quickly.

With Harry's current speed, it is naturally far from being comparable to Maca with the blessing of the rules. But when it comes to dealing with these "mad cultists" whose strength is still relatively normal, this is actually enough.

"Except for your weapons!"

After a dash around the opponent, Harry turned around and cast a powerful disarming spell almost with his wand on his opponent's back.

Suddenly, Neville saw that the enemy with the broken arm was not only forced to take off his wand, but also the whole person was blasted by a huge force.

"Faint!"

Neville gave another blow to him, and when he saw that the madman was finally lying on the ground and did not move, he hurriedly beckoned Harry:

"That's it! Let's go! Take him and go to Diagon Alley as soon as possible. ”

……

Naturally, Maca didn't know that Harry and Neville had left St. Mungo, and now that he had just walked out of the main entrance of Hogwarts Castle, his face was obviously a little unpleasant.

There were two time converters he left in the school, one of which was placed in a space in the Room of Requirement, while the other was left in his room.

However, either one has been ruined like the converters I checked out before.

Although by now, he had a slight hunch that the two time turners were likely to suffer the same fate. But after personally confirming the results, he still frowned again and again, and the pressure in his heart became more and more intense.

There was no doubt that the reason why Maca was able to recover so quickly from the sudden loss of Luna was obviously because of the glimmer of hope that the time-turner had given him, other than Hermione's hug.

But now, as hope is being extinguished little by little by reality, the feeling that makes his whole heart tremble seems to be gradually returning.

Yes, what if even the last remaining converter is destroyed?

This is a question that Maca doesn't want to think about, but she has to think about it.

"No, probably not...... Not only is there ancient magic hidden in that place, but not many people in total know about it. The chances of a person who doesn't know exactly where it is going to be in the right place are too low. ”

As she walked through the meadow through the vestibule and headed straight for the school gate, Maca whispered to herself. And when he left Hogwarts, he only flashed and disappeared from the spot.

In fact, although Maca was a little uneasy in his heart, he was quite comfortable with the final storage place.

For it was a place that no one had been in and out of all year round, except for himself—he believed that even Helmo would not have been able to find it.

This place is the island in the sea where Rowena lived in his youth.

With the rustle of stamping on leaves, Maca manifested under the Wizard's Tower in Royna. When he arrived, he only glanced left and right for a moment, and quickly pushed open the door under the tower and entered.

Since there are no people on the island, it naturally does not have the hustle and bustle of the city, and everything is quiet. The occasional distant sound of waves crashing on the beach, mixed with a few seabird chirps, always relaxes the mind in the pure nature of nature.

To say that in normal times, Maca actually likes this quiet feeling very much, because he is originally a person who likes to be quiet.

It's a pity that today he obviously can't enjoy the beauty of being away from people.

Upon entering the magical tower, Maca walked as fast as she climbed the wooden spiral staircase. It wasn't long before he arrived at the research storage room that Rowener had used in a long time.

When she moved away in Rowena, she had already taken a lot of things with her. So after Maca unceremoniously took possession of the wizard's tower, there were gradually a lot more things he had brought with him.

For example, many magic books that he doesn't usually use, but are very valuable in themselves, or precious magic materials that he has found on the black market, from Tumbledown Alley, etc., he will pile them here when he comes once in a while.

Of the five time-turners he had taken from the Ministry of Magic, he had secretly collected the best one here.

Because of the importance and danger of the rules of time, he didn't tell anyone, even Hermione and Luna.

"Bang!"

After waving out a large stack of magic books from a shelf and letting them land on the nearby research table, Maca waved again, causing a stone box hidden behind the books to float out.

This stone box was carved by his own hands, and of course its role was not only for the sake of beauty, but also to protect the magical items inside.

Because the natural stone does not interfere with the magic in any way, not only Hermione, but also Maca often uses stone to carve runic arrays that can be preserved for a long time.

The next moment, I saw Maca reach out and gently wave it above the lid of the stone box, and a faint blue light flashed with the many notches on the box, and the lid opened with a "click".

But at that moment, Maka's heart also fell to the bottom, and a slight expression of incredulity appeared on her face.

"Who can do it, come here and ruin my things?"

He stared at the pile of converter parts and fragments padded in the velvet cloth in the crate for a moment, and then carefully examined the state of the crate itself - yes, there were no signs of damage to the crate itself, indicating that the person who destroyed the converter had opened the crate in normal way.

Doesn't this mean that the other party also has a fairly in-depth understanding and study of the rune array like him?

No, how is this possible?

Since Maca's rune array is a way of using ancient magic scripts that he researched on his own after referring to the ancient magic array, it is difficult for even an ancient wizard like Helbo who is familiar with ancient magic to directly interpret Maca's rune array.

If nothing else, there is a considerable difference between the concept of the combination and the overall structure.

"Exactly...... Who is it? ”

If I have to say, except for Hermione and Luna, who can almost be said to be "in the same vein" from him, the people who can easily open this box......

“…… It seems like I'm the only one left? ”

Maca muttered to herself, but quickly shook her head a little self-deprecatingly.

"How is that possible!"

The future self comes back to ruin the time turner? This statement is logically problematic and obviously untenable.

"So, who will it be?"
