Chapter 1695: A Private Request
ββ¦β¦ That's right, that's it! You don't understand the rules of this rune yet, but that's okay, you just need to remember that this whole combination means 'magic disorder'. Luna, you've suffered from magical imbalance, you should know this, right? β
"Hmm...... Well, not a good feeling. β
"Yes, but we can also use this effect in reverseβif we inlay this rune combination in it and activate it after the whole formation is finished, it can completely disrupt the magic information left over from the formation operation. And this means that even if Helmo comes here, he will no longer be able to trace our whereabouts......"
After joking with Harry, Maca didn't look anywhere else, instead choosing to tell Hermione, Luna, and Delphi in the hall about the details of the rune formation used to retreat.
Originally, it stands to reason that when Maca's magic power is exhausted and he can't draw the rule runes by hand, it can almost be said that Delphi, who has inherited his magic path, is the best person to make this formation instead of him.
Unfortunately, even Delphi is now a Muggle who cannot use magic.
Luckily, there's also Mr. Blois, who has been learning about family magic since he was a child. In the ancient wizard inheritance of the Blois family, rule magic is naturally also involved, otherwise he would not be good at spirit summoning techniques that require rule runes, as well as sealing magic that relies more on rule knowledge.
On this basis, as long as Maca gives me some guidance, it is quite possible to complete it if I just draw the rule runes.
From then on, Maca and the others were in the hall explaining the formation diagram and answering questions for Luna and the others, until Mr. Blois joined in the middle and worked together until late at night.
"Okay, I've finished talking about everything, and it's up to you to do the rest - from now on, you try to build the basic framework first, and if you feel tired, remember to rest......"
As she spoke, Maca glanced at Willy's father, who was pondering the rule runes, and then added:
"Oh, yes! Mr. Blois, about the Muggle heads of France, I wonder if there is any news from Madame Maxime? β
As he asked, he seemed to be still very concerned about the source of the "mushroom" in the Strait of Dover, but he gave Mr. Blois a secret look.
Seeing this, the latter still stood up with him, although he couldn't figure out Maca's true intentions for a while.
"Anyway, before I came to this side of the hall, there was no reply from Beauxbatons...... So, come with me back to the study! If an answer comes from there, it will definitely be sent to my desk, so just go and see. β
Before she could finish speaking, Maca nodded immediately, and then, after saying hello to her friends, she left the hall with Willy's father and went straight to the study.
To be honest, although Maca's condition still seems to be a little poor, he refused the initiative of his friends to support him.
"It's okay, it's just a few steps! Don't really treat me like a waster. β
Before walking out the side door of the hall, Maca said with a smile.
β¦β¦
As the two of them made their way to the study, Maca said nothing but speculation about the explosion. It wasn't long before they came side by side to the door of the master's study.
"Click."
The next moment, Mr. Blois reached out and twisted the doorknob, and then walked in first.
"The head of the house! Ah, and Mr. McLean, you...... Can I walk on my own? β
As soon as she entered Monsieur Blois's large study, Maca's eyes crossed over his shoulder, and the first thing she saw was the old butler who was rising from behind the relatively small desk beside him.
"Actually, walking on my own is still a little tiring for me at the moment!" Maca replied, "Of course, don't let Willy and Hermione know about this, or they'll be worried." β
As she spoke, Maca had already walked to the couch on the side of the study, and after doing so, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"I can't believe that I will have a day like this when I feel tired walking on my own legs! You know, before I went to Hogwarts, I was the kind of kid who would run around every day! β
However, just as Maca was still talking to the old butler about these somewhat indifferent contents, Mr. Blois, who had already realized that Maca might have other important things to say, couldn't help but interrupt:
"Mr. McLean?"
"Huh?" When Maca heard this, she just looked at him again, and then quickly said, "Yes, I know, I was about to say it!" It's just that...... Mr. Butler, could you please leave first? β
"Oh! Of course, of course...... Mr. McLean, head of the house, you talk, and I'll go out first. β
After seeing Blois nodding in agreement, the old butler put down his work for the time being, and walked out of the study very decisively and quickly.
When the old butler had also left, Blois looked directly at Marka and said:
"Mr. McLean, there's no one else here, if there's anything you want to say to me, you can speak now. If there's anything I can do to help, I'll help. β
"That's great!" When Maca heard this, she immediately bowed her head and said, "That's the case, I...... I'll really need you to do me a favor, Mr. Bloisβin fact, what I'm going to do in the future might be dangerous, so I'll probably need to borrow your sealing magic. β
At this point, it has to be mentioned that the sealing technique of the Blois family is indeed a very useful magic. If she could, Maca would actually like to try to officially open the mysterious stone box with the "insurance" of Willy's father.
Unfortunately, the Blois family's sealing magic only works on living creatures, and the contents of that stone box ...... It's too unlikely that it could be a living thing.
Therefore, no matter how much Maca tried to open the stone box with the utility and power of the sealing magic, what she couldn't do was impossible after all.
It's just that the need to use sealing magic is obviously not just about opening the stone box.
It was only after a pause and a moment of careful consideration that she put her hand into the bag around her waist, as if she was about to pull something out.
But to Blois's surprise, he knew the thing that Maca had taken out of her bag!
