Chapter 1672: Broken Windows
"It's a feeling...... It's familiar...... Very familiar! That's right, it's very similar to the bloodline curse on Willy's kid at the beginning! β
Blois frowned as soon as he saw the Devouring Mirror that Maca had taken out. When Maca heard this, she immediately nodded and said bluntly:
"That's right! Because from my research, the two should be the same kind of thingβthere is 'sin' in this mirror, and in the substance that I extracted from Willy's body at that time. β
"'Sin'?" When Blois heard him say this, he couldn't help but wonder, "What is that?" β
However, Maca could only sigh slightly and shake her head.
"I can't explain exactly what it is, because to be honest, I haven't figured it out yet! But I have to say that it is undoubtedly an extremely powerful force...... You know, they can all easily cause catastrophe! β
Speaking of which, Maca thought for a moment before adding:
And as far as my research so far is concerned, this power, like sin itself, should have something to do with the human soul and ...... It probably has nothing to do with Helbo's demonic summoning technique. β
But in fact, Maca has a lot more to say about the Devouring Mirror. After all, he has done a lot of research and exploration in this area so far, and there are many things worth mentioning.
Unfortunately, no matter how many clues he has obtained by looking through ancient materials, by conducting targeted research, and even by participating in the tests by becoming Rowener's "candidate", they are often vague.
So far, Maca has not even come to even a clear, well-founded conclusion.
If you just tell someone something vague, it will only make the other person more confused, and even misled by clues that are not the truth.
"Mr. Blois," Maka asked, after a brief remark, "since you sealed the 'Blood Curse' on Willy's body in the first place, I think ...... Could your seal have a corresponding effect on this mirror? β
In fact, before following Maca here, Blois already knew that the other party had this intention.
However, just as Maca was able to draw the "cursed" substance for Willy at the time, but now she can't use this Devouring Mirror, the Blois family seal is not effective for everything.
"I'm sorry, Mr. McLean," Blois said regretfully, "if you want me to help you seal that Helbo, I might be able to convince myself to make some effort." But it's this mirror that needs to be sealed...... As you know, the seals of our Blois family were created only for living creatures. β
Maca, of course, remembered that when she was trying to heal Willy, Blois had mentioned the origin of their family's sealing magic.
It's just that......
"If that's ......," said Maca, looking at the mirror in front of her, pursing her lips, "it seems that I will inevitably leave Fort Blois." Mr. Blois, remember to observe a little more after I am gone, and see if the effect of this mirror has followed me away. β
"If something like this happens, tell me right away."
β¦β¦
Sometimes Maca wonders if the Devouring Mirror also has wisdom of its own; Or maybe it's Helbo's soul fragment that controls the mirror's power.
Otherwise, why did the accident happen to the people around him, and he, the person closest to the mirror itself, was stunned that he hadn't encountered anything?
If I had to find one word to describe it, there would probably be no other choice but "cunning".
Did this thing know that its tricks won't work on Maca, so they simply chose not to provoke him?
Fortunately, if it's just a mirror, you can still avoid some unnecessary injuries with a little care. Right now, Hermione and the rest of the group gathered in a large room, and removed everything in it that could reflect the human figure.
Hermione...... What happened this time, you say? β
Ron's question at this time is actually the question of everyone here, and it also includes Hermione, the object of his inquiry.
"How do I know?"
Hermione sat in her chair with her arms crossed, replied casually, and then subconsciously looked at Delphi who was sitting by the wall in thought.
This time, Delphi wasn't with Maca...... Oh, to be precise, "failed" to follow him - she wanted to, but Maca didn't agree.
"Miss Granger, please don't look at me like that," Delphi shook her head when she saw Hermione looking at her, "I really don't know this time. β
Hearing her say this, Ron said almost subconsciously:
"That'...... What else is there that you know but don't say? β
If there's anything Delphi knows about in the near future, but hides from them, it's Marca's trip to the Muggle Queen's for potions experiments.
However, the most important thing at the moment is always the problem of the mirror.
So Delphi didn't waste her tongue answering Ron's question, and Ron himself seemed to realize that now was obviously not the time to say this.
But just as the room fell silent again. Suddenly, there was a "bang" sound from outside the window where the curtains had been drawn, and everyone's hearts jumped.
"What's wrong?"
Hermione heard the sound and jerked to her feet, running to the window. But before she could get there, she heard Willy, who was sitting on the other side, speak:
"Listen to the sound, it should be in the direction of the tower where Maca lives."
Before the words could be spoken, Hermione had already opened the curtains. Then she quickly pushed open the window again, and looked towards the tower of Maca as Willy had said.
The next moment, everyone listened to her:
"That's right, over there...... It's the second floor, a room on the second floor! β
"That's the room where Ens lives!" Alexander, who also came over, saw at a glance that the broken window was the room where his friend Ens was temporarily staying, "I'll go and see." β
As soon as he finished speaking, Alexander turned his head and ran to the door of the room, but as soon as he opened the door, he was blocked by a figure.
"Mr. Wolfe, the head of the family and Mr. McLean have told me that you must not be let go, and please don't embarrass me, the housekeeper."
Outside the door was the old butler of the Blois family. Immediately, Alexander was blocked back by the other party. And after that, even if Willie said it, it was useless, the other party just wouldn't let anyone out of the door.
So, although they knew that there must have been some accident on the other side of Enns's room, they just couldn't go...... In the room, the atmosphere gradually became more and more dreary.
