Rowena's husband was the one she saw when Maca opened a book of lab notes left there in Rowena's lonely island tower.

And by the time Maca learned that the man's name was "Eun", many days had passed.

Now, when this person, who can't even look up the historical records, appears in front of Maca. This subtle feeling is naturally conceivable.

Yes, another "old immortal".

Seriously, when he guessed that the old man might have something to do with Rowena, he had mixed feelings. After all, the woman Rewena has been full of contradictions for him since a long time ago.

"Okay...... Well, if you don't mind, I'll call you Ewen. Maca thought left and right for a moment, and suddenly waved her hand a little impatiently, "What do you want to tell me about bringing me here at any cost?" Now that we're surrounded by Dementors, Helbo can't get closer, as you said...... What you want to say, you can say now. ”

At the same time as he asked these words, Maca waved his hand, and a silver-white mist of light immediately rose in his palm, as if there was a sudden silver flame in his hand.

Immediately, a large number of Dementors who were rushing towards them hurriedly retreated as if panicked.

The old man looked at the bright color and showed a hint of a smile.

"The wandless and uncursed Patronus Charm, after so many years, I can't imagine that I can see it again with my own eyes......" he sighed first, and then said with regret, "It seems that you know a little bit about my identity, and you don't seem to want to see me appear." ”

"I'm sorry," he paused, bowing slightly, "since you don't like to make small talk with me...... So let's get straight to the point! ”

At this point, Old Ewen suddenly pulled his gaze back from the silver mist of light and met Maka's gaze again.

"I know that 'he' has reappeared, and I know that you have already killed him once." He spoke slowly, in a heavy tone, but at least he didn't cough this time, "And I know that you must have been thinking about how many Horcruxes 'his' have been made all this time, right?" ”

When Maca heard this, she nodded cheerfully—everyone said that this was the case, and he had nothing to hide.

He wanted to know now what this Ewen Ravenclaw knew.

When the other party is willing to say what he knows, Maca doesn't want to interrupt, all he has to do is judge the truth of those words.

Maybe he knew this idea of Maca, so Old Eun didn't stop talking.

"No more pondering, McLean, I can tell you clearly now." He said calmly, "'His' Horcrux has only one from beginning to end—"

As he spoke, the old man suddenly raised his hand and made a trembling circle.

"The 'Devouring Mirror,'" he said, "is the only Horcrux...... Salazar had told Rowena about it, and then Rowena had told me. His Horcruxes are nothing more than the source of the calamity of unknown origin, the floor-to-ceiling round mirror that existed since ancient times, and Rowena called it the 'Devouring Mirror'. ”

"For 'he' knows very well that every time the soul is divided, a part of the spirit is lost. And once it is divided into more than seven parts, it is impossible to regain wholeness. ”

When Old Eun said this, Maca subconsciously glanced at the Dementors around her - why did Helbo know this "clearly"?

Obviously, the answer is right in front of his eyes.

"Or maybe it's okay," Maca said to herself, "if the soul is split into more than seven parts, if the Horcrux is completely destroyed, the maker of the Horcrux will be immortalized in another form......

Of course, it will be a "meaningless eternal life" achieved in a state of total sanity in a strange space that is only "one step away" from death.

Seeing that Maca accepted her statement almost unsurprisingly, old Eun's wrinkled face showed some doubt.

"You know the mirror?" He tentatively asked, "Could it be that it has already been born......

"Maybe!" Maca shook her head, "You go ahead and talk about yours." ”

"Oh...... All right! Ahem, ahem, ahem......" Old Eun finally couldn't help coughing a few more times before he gasped hard, "Since you know that thing, I think you should understand it too." Although 'his' Horcrux is only one, it is enough to be worth a thousand...... The origin of the Devouring Mirror is unknown, and the way to destroy it is almost impossible. ”

"But?" Maca struggled to hear it, so she simply helped him say the word directly.

"Alas...... Young people, isn't it good to be a little more patient? I'm going to wait so long for a near-dead person......" Old Ewen said with a wry smile, "Okay, but! The clever Rowena came up with a solution that shook the past and the present, and entrusted me with the task of carrying out this plan. ”

"Oh?"

When Maca heard this, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

He is very willing to listen to this so-called "method of shaking the past and the present", and as for whether this method is true, he can try to prove it through his own research.

After all, even if the mirror wasn't Helbo's Horcrux, Maca wanted to destroy it sooner rather than later. Whoever wants to stay with that kind of thing like a nuclear power plant that is almost out of control, then he's in trouble!

"What's the solution?"

Hearing Maca ask, the smile on Old Eun's face was noticeably more bitter.

"Do you like astronomy?"

He suddenly asked again so inexplicably, and it seemed extremely abrupt in such an important conversation.

"What happened to astronomy?"

Maca frowned suddenly, but he could somewhat understand that the answer to that question might have a very significant connection to the plan.

When Old Ewen heard this, he lowered his eyes slightly and pointed to the dark clouds that were gradually dissipating. And above the dense clouds, it must be the bright stars that are covered with the walls of the sky, right?

"Calamity, meteorite, or comet...... They can be called whatever they want, they are coiled around our world, at a very close distance to them......"

"And there is one very special one among them," he said, pointing to the Heavenly Dao, "and it is about to pass us." ”

Maca actually knows about this. And he thinks that the centaurs in the Forbidden Forest are suddenly moving away, probably because they have noticed some signs of the comet's imminent arrival.

In fact, even the Muggle world stumbled upon the comet last year, and a lot of people have been watching this wonderful show brought to humanity by the mysterious universe lately (1).

However, what is the purpose of this old man bringing up this matter at this moment?

"Don't tell me that Rowena wants you to pull a comet down and smash the mirror!" Maca's eyes widened, her face full of surprise, "That's a big comet with a diameter of at least forty kilometers or more, not to mention that it's impossible to get it down, even if you can get it, do you want to destroy this world?" ”

"That's why I just said that," said Old Eun, waving his hand, "it's a 'very special' scourge—Rowena told me it has two cores!" All we have to do is make them collide with each other once under precise calculations, and 'tear' off a piece of debris about 300 feet (100 meters). ”

"Hmph," Maca sneered, with an indescribable feeling in her heart, "Do you know what you're talking about?" Precise calculations? Is this a joke that you ancient wizards liked to make? ”

Old Eun saw that Maca looked incredulous, and he had to nod.

"Yes...... To be honest, when I heard about this plan from Rowena, my reaction was even more exaggerated than yours. The old man said helplessly, "Believe me, it is an indescribable feeling to wait for a thousand years for an incredible plan." ”

"But there are many people who will do anything to live forever!" Maca pouted.

"yes...... Ahem......" The old man closed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, "It's been too long since then, and all evidence will expire with time...... Not to mention, I'm just a backup plan. ”

The moment she heard these last words, Maca was stunned.

"A backup plan?" He quickly asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"Huh? You...... I don't know? Old Eun was a little shocked when he saw that Maca was puzzled, "Haier...... No, I mean, isn't 'he' the flesh you destroyed this time? ”

"yes, so what?" Maca frowned.

"Don't you know that the first plan to destroy the Devouring Mirror was planned and handled by Salazar Slytherin himself?"

The old man seemed to sense that something was wrong, his eyes narrowed suddenly, and Maca immediately felt a sudden and powerful magic fluctuation from him.

"It seems that you don't know......" he stared at Maca, his eyes shining sharply, "I thought that from the information I sent someone to investigate, you are not only strong, but also have a good heart...... Who would have thought that you were also controlled by that guy? ”

At this moment, the tightness in the air rises sharply. Seeing this, Maca subconsciously took out her staff and paid close attention to every tiny movement of the other party.

But he was still thinking, because he quickly thought of one thing—it was likely that Ens hadn't said it all yet.

It's just that in the current situation, it is impossible for him to speak for the time being.

Because he knew that if he made the slightest move, he would be attacked like a storm.

"Keen perception, it seems to be a tough battle......"

Old Eun was still curled up in his wheelchair, but the magic fluctuations in his body made Maca even more oblivious.

But in the next moment.

"Wait, what's that?"
