Chapter 1677: Shadow in the Mirror
"Don't go near that mirror, you know? Even if you accidentally see someone or an object in the mirror that you really care about, don't take half a step close to it and just tell me. ”
"yes, I see."
Seeing that Maca lowered her head and began to re-study the soul planks she had collected before after making a special reminder, Ens fell silent.
To be honest, with the current level of Enns, he actually doesn't understand what Maca is doing at all.
From the first time she had been digging up the fragments of Helbo's soul coffin, to putting down the fragile looking planks and removing the Devouring Mirror, and now Maca had gone back to pondering the pile of wood.
Ens only knew that Maca had been doing some esoteric magical research and experiments, but he couldn't figure it out at all.
However, although Ens was still lacking in magical knowledge, at least he had already understood the purpose of bringing Maca with no one and bringing him with him.
Of course, it wasn't for him to help with the research or anything, he obviously wasn't up to that level yet. The reason why Maca wanted to bring him with him was obviously only because he had been taken by Helpo once, so he still didn't feel comfortable leaving him at Fort Blois when he needed to go out this time.
And it is precisely because Ens understands this that he has always maintained quiet and cooperation on this trip, and has not taken out the stinky temper he usually has.
You know, don't look at the time when Maca came over before, she still had the leisure to make a few jokes. Eans' observation of Maca from time to time in the past few days has actually realized that Maca's nerves are probably in a state of tension all along.
Especially today, the mirror incident in Fort Blois has caused Maca to be bored and uneasy.
Of course, it was not the cascade of accidents that annoyed Maca, but the Devouring Mirror that was the source of those events. It's just that this fundamental question is difficult for Ens to understand too deeply.
Now, after hearing Maca's warning, Ens sat silently on half a huge brick and was stunned. Under Maca's prior warning, he deliberately avoided the ancient mirror standing in the middle, and thought about some of his own things.
For example, the direction of your future magic studies; For example, his identity as a "Slytherin descendant"; Another example is his mother, who has long since died.
Well, it's probably just occasionally! Somehow, he also thought of the Alexander who was quite annoying to him.
Can that guy really be considered his "friend"? Ens, who had never made friends, was not very clear about this, and he still felt that he really didn't seem to need a "friend".
During the time when Ens was gradually immersed in many thoughts, the huge main burial chamber finally fell silent again......
Seriously, however, it is quite difficult to get a person to have complete control over their attention and allow themselves to be distracted for a long time. Especially after repeatedly reminding oneself not to look at something, it will be more difficult for that person to ignore the existence of that thing.
It was after a chance glance at the Devouring Mirror that Ens soon couldn't help but subconsciously take a few more looks.
And it was the moment when his gaze swept the mirror for the last time, he was surprised to find that the originally chaotic mirror surface slowly became clear. Ens saw that behind Maca in the mirror, a vague figure that seemed familiar to him gradually appeared.
When Ens saw this, he quickly turned his head to look at Maca, but he didn't see anyone.
"Who's that?"
Since Maca reminded him of the past, Ens had no intention of getting closer to the past at all. It was only because of that hazy figure that he felt a sense of familiarity that he didn't immediately tell Maka.
As Deens stared at the reflection in the mirror, the figure standing behind Maka slowly became clearer and clearer. After a few moments, he finally confirmed the identity of the "other party".
"That's ......," he muttered to himself, "Salazar Slytherin?" ”
He had seen the magic image of his "ancestor" twice so far, and both under quite special circumstances. With such an impressive way of meeting, it is quite difficult to forget.
So Ens was sure that the figure was Slytherin, and it couldn't be wrong!
"What's going on? What are you trying to fool me this time? ”
With this in mind, Ens saw that the "Slytherin" in the mirror suddenly leaned down and stretched his hand straight to "Maka's" waist.
And the next moment, "he" actually took out a strange stone box from the bag around Maca's waist that Enns had never seen before.
Just as Ens was feeling a little confused, Slytherin, who was holding the stone box in both hands, suddenly looked up, and a pair of deep eyes looked straight at Earns. The moment their eyes touched each other, Ens felt a subtle discomfort rise from his heart.
By this time, Ens, who had a puzzled face, actually wanted to ask Maca to look in the mirror. But before he could open his mouth, he saw the "Slytherin" in the mirror suddenly hold up the stone box in his hand and turn it around again, pointing his finger to the line of words engraved on the stone box.
Because it was a bit far away, just sitting here, Ens couldn't see exactly what was engraved on that line. It's just that the intention of the "other party" is already obvious, and "he" just wants Ens to see the words engraved on it clearly.
"Mr. McLean, inside the mirror!"
Coldly, Ens reminded him, causing Maca, who was studying Soul Wood, to turn her head abruptly and look over. It's a pity that at the same time, the mirror surface of the Devouring Mirror has returned to its previous chaotic state, and the mirror image just now has completely disappeared.
"Anns, you...... What do you see? ”
As Maca asked as if very concerned, Ens paused for a moment, and then replied directly:
"I saw Salazar Slytherin, standing behind you just now, um, I mean, he appeared behind you in the mirror."
Although Ens had reexplained it in time, Maca frowned and subconsciously glanced behind her. Fortunately, as he sensed, there was no one behind.
After a moment's hesitation, Maca continued:
"And then? Slytherin ...... What was done? ”
“…… He pulls out a strange stone box from the leather bag around your waist. ”
Before the words fell, Maka's expression froze slightly, but her eyes became sharper.
"What kind of crate?" He asked in a deep voice.
