Chapter 1371: Curved Slate
"Hum—"
"Ahh Not again! It's the voice again! ”
In the night, Harry and Ron walked through the camp in the dark. They put their steps very lightly and walked forward little by little. On the way, the strange "buzzing" sound was repeated again and again, forcing the two to stop and confirm the source of the sound.
"Harry, isn't that from...... From the biggest tent in the back? ”
"Well, that seems to be true—uh, I remember, it was the tent where Dean Bornse lived, right?"
"Really?"
The two lowered their voices and exchanged words with each other, then moved forward again. But this time with a goal, it's obviously a lot more efficient - at least I don't have to look around like two headless flies.
It didn't take long for the two of them to finally arrive near the entrance to the tent.
"Do you want to go in?" - Ron didn't say anything, just lip-synced at Harry. Harry watched his lips open and close, and after a closer look, he could figure out what Ron was trying to say.
However, when it is said that there is movement, it is actually just some ordinary humming that is not very loud. And they actually believe that if something really came into this camp, Maca must have noticed it a long time ago, right?
To be honest, just because Maca stayed in this camp tonight, most of the friends seemed very relaxed. And a large part of this rare trust comes from the strength of Maca.
So, should you just ask about this? In case it was just a private matter that Mr. Dean was doing, it would be embarrassing for them to bother so rashly.
But before Harry could worry too long, he and Ron were immediately attracted by the "buzz" sound coming from inside.
The two of them quickly noticed that this time the movement was not short, and it was not just a matter of a second or two like the previous ones.
And to the surprise of the two, they immediately heard the voice of a very familiar girl!
"Oh! No way...... Stop it! I can't stand it anymore...... It's going to break! ”
"Hermione's voice?"
Harry and Ron were stunned - what was Hermione doing here? And listen to that sentence just now...... What's going on inside?
The two of them finally couldn't help it this time. Ron, in particular, saw his hand quickly move over Harry's shoulder, directly lifting the tent's curtain halfway.
That is, the moment he opened the curtain, a bright white light burst out of it, illuminating people who couldn't open their eyes.
Apparently startled by the sudden and eerie light, Ron unconsciously took a few steps back.
And at the moment when Ron let go, Harry squinted his eyes and glanced inside before the curtain fell.
He's got Hermione!
Whether or not the light and hum had anything to do with Hermione, Harry had already seen her. Even if it was just a blink of an eye, Harry still stuck in his mind the sight of Hermione.
However, it was worth mentioning that Harry had just seen the source of those dazzling rays of light at the same time - it was a white pillar of light the thickness of an arm.
Although he couldn't find out where the beam came from because of the tent, the key point was that the target of the beam was actually in front of Hermione!
Now Harry couldn't take it anymore.
Even if he was still thinking just now that there shouldn't be anything going on tonight, the facts were already in front of him - that pillar of light just now looked extremely dangerous!
"Whoa—"
With the sound of the curtain being shaken, Harry took a step ahead of Ron.
But in the next second, Harry, who had just rushed into the tent, was stunned again. Because he saw that Maca was actually holding the staff in one hand, as if she knew in advance that he would come in, and looked at him calmly.
As for Hermione...... She hadn't noticed it just now because of the wrong angle, and she was holding a strange-looking gray slate in her hand.
Hermione...... Maca? ”
While Harry was still stunned, Ron followed.
"Hmm," Maca inside nodded slightly at Ron and Harry, "what's wrong?" Running out so late...... Is it because of that voice? ”
"Oh, yes!" Ron hurriedly said, "Harry and I couldn't sleep just now, so we casually came out to chat a few words outside, and then I happened to hear a noise coming from here. ”
"Really?" Maca nodded again, "Okay...... Anyway, you're here! Sit there for a while and wait for Hermione and I to experiment last night! ”
With that, he waved his hand towards Hermione's side and gestured:
"Put the slate back! It looks fine. ”
"Okay."
Hermione immediately put the stone slab engraved with many patterns and symbols back on the bracket on the ground, and then took a step back.
Harry and Ron looked at each other, both bewildered in each other's eyes.
Hermione had been studying ancient magical literature, something they all knew, and they had helped cut stone tablets when they were at Hogwarts.
But this time, the slate that Hermione had just put down looked strange—it could be seen that the slate was actually curved and raised, and just looking at the surname, it looked like a convex mirror made of stone.
When the two were still in a trance, they didn't expect that Maca would do it! I saw that Maca shook the staff in her hand slightly, and a pillar of light almost went straight towards the curved stone slab, and the speed was terrifying.
"Hum—"
However, soon the pillar of light dissipated, leaving only the peculiar stone slab that finally cracked. Obviously, the beam of light, which seemed to be very powerful just now, must be extraordinary.
But the powerful beam of light was ignored when it touched the stone tablet in Doharry's hand, and instead became popular because of the collectible value.
"There's a crack," Marca walked over to the round stone slab and half-crouched down, "Hermione, I think it's still a problem with the lack of strength and too much weight. But I have to say that this innovation is valuable! I really didn't expect the curved slate. ”
"Oh," Hermione immediately said, "Maca, I also know that the weight of the slate is too large, and even if it can be made into armor, it can't be worn by people. But...... Who let only the stone be able to exert the effect of the magic text most efficiently? ”
"Well," Maka nodded, "that's a real problem, and we'll have to think about it...... Well, let me think again......"
