At the end of the soul rule is the death rule, which Maca has always thought is like this. Therefore, after discovering that Helbo has always been obsessed with the study of the rules of the soul, Maca believes that what Helbo is seeking is to control death and gain eternal life.

However, he has another guess.

He believed that the power of "love" that Dumbledore was talking about when he referred to the locked room of the Department of Mysteries could also be a "sin" in nature. And since the branches of the soul rule are also "sin", what is the relationship between the "rule of love" and the "rule of the soul"?

Of course, because the former point of view is supported by a passage from Helbo's previous words, and the latter point is completely Maca's own speculation. So at least until today, he doesn't plan to change his original mind.

However, if he had confirmed the latter suspicion by some means, with the power of the occult affairs department's room, then it seemed that he would have to reconsider Helbo's true goal.

The guy ...... Do you really want to master the rules of death? Or does he have some other purpose?

While thinking like this, Maca had already mobilized the power of the two soul rules that were now gradually balanced. Two rule runes appeared in front of him, and two rule forces that were different in expression but in essence harmonized with each other were rushing towards the black door under his urging.

Yes, it is a mixture of two "great sins", arrogance and **, the former is contrary to love, and the latter is compatible with love. If love can be sin as well, it must be echoed by this mixed sin.

But to be honest, Maca didn't really want her guess to come true.

But......

"There is a reaction."

Maka, who was releasing the power of the rules and feeling it carefully, suddenly noticed that the power behind the "door" suddenly became more and more turbulent.

It's not easy to describe, and if you have to describe it in words, it's "reconciling".

"I finally understood how Dumbledore had saved Hermione by destroying so many living corpses in an instant." Maca couldn't help but muttered as she sensed the change.

In fact, if the power in the room could "dissolve" the power of his soul rules, he wouldn't be too surprised by that. However, if its essence is "harmony", then the nature is completely different.

That is, "love" and "sin...... Perhaps they are from the same source, and the two complement each other, and can even transform each other under some unknown conditions!

"Unexpectedly...... That's really the case," Maka's expression became more and more serious, and finally her brow tightened, "Between the rules of the soul and the rules of death, there is still a mountain of 'love'...... This is an obstacle that Helbo has been unable to overcome in his entire life. So...... His purpose could not have been the rule of death, because there was no such thing as a shortcut between the two. ”

Thinking like this, he was so distracted for a moment that he even forgot that he was still releasing the soul rules to attract the majestic power behind the black door.

Suddenly, he was overwhelmed by the energy that overflowed when the two reconciled with each other.

"Oops."

As soon as she realized that something was wrong, Maca immediately tried to withdraw from it, but the energy that engulfed him did not cause any substantial damage to him.

It's just that the memories that were always suppressed in his heart were swept through his mind at this moment, and a wave of sadness instantly came to his heart.

He hesitated silently for a few seconds in a little nostalgia, and then finally took the initiative to cancel the two soul rule runes, and then subconsciously took a step back.

"Mr. McLean?"

In Maca's feelings, this period may be a long time, but in the eyes of Sarah on the side, he just stayed in front of the door for a short while.

"It's okay," Maca steadied, suppressing her still-agitated emotions, "let me rest for a while, and then we can go back when I gather some of the power in this." ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but turn his head and glance at the black door again, and then shook his head and said:

"Because, I've got the 'stuff' I wanted...... Although, the whole process and the result didn't make me feel very good. ”

By the way, the decision to let Harry and them go back immediately was indeed correct This sentence Maca did not say, but it was still spinning in his mind.

……

What happened to Maca at the British Ministry of Magic, maybe Luna was more or less aware of "part" of it, but Hermione obviously had no way of knowing.

And she's probably not going to know that now.

Belgium, last night's dinner palace.

After a night of hustle and bustle, the place has regained its usual tranquility. It was early in the morning, and there was no one else except for some wizards who were cleaning up.

And at the back door of the palace, Hermione, who had just returned from Weymouth, was having a hurried conversation with Lady Maxime and the old butler of Blois.

"Mr. Butler, Lady Maxime," Hermione was leaning weakly against the wall because she had used the rules of gravity too much, but her speed of speech did not slow down in the slightest, "There was a sudden wave of living corpses on Weymouth's side, and the situation was a bit serious at the moment...... Although I have temporarily used some means to temporarily stop their progress, it is by no means a long-term choice. Judging by the situation on the ground, I think the Muggle Army may be better suited to deal with the current situation. ”

"Muggle army?" When Maxim heard this, he immediately frowned and said, "More reliable than magic?" ”

"Yes," Hermione said seriously, "the future situation will not be discussed for the time being, just say that most of the living corpses in this wave of living corpses this time are ordinary kinds, and it is simply a matter of quantity. Harry, they've been there for some time, and judging by the results of the battle, Muggle weapons are capable of dealing effective damage to them. ”

If it was an army of evolved living corpses, then the Muggle army would definitely be difficult to deal with, but ordinary living corpses were a different matter entirely. A Muggle army with a large number of weapons of mass destruction can compensate for the small number of wizards to some extent.

In Mr. Blois's absence, asking the Muggle military to help would have been a very effective solution.

"I see," the old butler thought for a moment, and quickly nodded, "I'm going to meet the president, and I think he'll agree, but"

After a slight groan, he naturally asked:

"Miss Granger, where is the head of the house? He...... Didn't come back? ”
