"Wait, what's that?"

Old Eun's words made the atmosphere that had become quite tense before suddenly eased a little, and Old Eun's gaze also moved from Maca's face to Maca's right hand.

No, to be more accurate, it was the staff that Maca had just taken out in her right hand.

"The Long Staff," Maca said, still keeping her guard in her heart, "while the Short Wand has been a mainstay since your time a thousand years ago, I think there are at least a lot more than they are now?" What's wrong? ”

"Of course I know the long-roded staff," said Old Eun, struggling to hold on to the armrest of his wheelchair to sit up straighter, "I was to ask, what was carved into the top stone?" ”

This staff is basically made from materials from the basilisk, and it can be said that it has been with Maca for a lot of time, and a lot of changes have actually been made during its use. However, that was just an improvement on the carved rune array on his staff.

As for the pattern carved on the stone at the top of the staff, it was naturally the same.

"Since you asked, I think you knew about it." Maca pondered the words in her mind and carefully turned some of them into words.

But when Old Ewen heard this, he only shook his head, but the magic fluctuations that had been fully active in his body gradually settled down.

"Ancient runes that symbolize the rules of truth," the old man said slowly, "...... Of course, I only know that that's what Rowena called them, and I don't know anything else. ”

"That's right, it's the rules rune," Maca said, following the other's words, "one of them." ”

Although he said this, in essence, he only briefly repeated the old man's words, without mentioning any other information.

For Maca, the knowledge of the rule runes is a secret.

If anyone other than him had access to this secret, knowledge would cease to be just knowledge, and they would be no less dangerous than the source of the calamities.

"So," said Old Eun, nodding his head as if he was sure of something, "you were indeed chosen by Rowena and her three friends......

The old man didn't say any more, he just turned his gaze straight into Maca's eyes as he said this.

Maca knew that the other party wanted him to complete the sentence.

“…… Alternate," Maca said calmly, "I've entered Royna's Chamber of Secrets. ”

"Sure enough!" A hint of clarity flashed in Eon's eyes, but then more hesitation arose, "But, in that case, you should have been to Salazar's Chamber of Secrets as well, and...... Why don't you know that Salazar left behind for 'that man'? ”

Hearing the old man mention Salazar Slytherin's so-called "backhand" again, Maca was actually more confused than the other party.

He always felt that there must be something in this that he had missed, but apart from the matter of Enns, he couldn't think of any relevant clues for a while.

"All I can say about this is ...... It seems that there can be more than two candidates at the same time," Maca said casually, and then turned to ask, "What exactly do you mean by 'back hand'?" What exactly are the candidates chosen? ”

It's rare to catch an insider, and it feels like an insider who is willing to say a few more words, so Maca naturally wants to ask a few more words.

However, Old Eun shook his head decisively.

"I don't know," he said with a calm face, "it was discussed by Rowena with three of her friends, and she didn't let me know much...... She only told me that it would be a great calamity, and that it would be better for no one to try to understand it unless it was forced to do so. ”

At this point, Old Eun's face suddenly became a little more faintly gloomy.

"Once you blindly touch on some truth," he said with his eyelids down, "it will inevitably lead to disaster and lead things to the worst." ”

"Worst Ending ......"

Maca chewed on the words, and involuntarily thought of what was mentioned at the end of the original Book of Sin. Although it is only a few words that are not very clear, the "loneliness" and "fear" contained in it are beyond doubt.

"Yes, 'worst case scenario.'" The old man repeated the phrase as well, "I don't know what that means, but I do know that it must be far more serious than 'the death of a man'!" ”

"What do you mean?"

Hearing this strange statement, Maca couldn't help frowning, but old Ewen seemed to be immersed in some kind of feeling, and there was not much expression on his face that was dissatisfied with the traces of time.

"It's literal," he said lightly, "maybe you don't know, but I can tell you...... At the beginning, Rowena actually committed suicide. ”

This is obviously another piece of big news.

As far as Maca knew, the death of Rowena Ravenclaw was a controversial event in the history of the wizarding world.

In the 11th century, the illustrious witch, one of the four founders of Hogwarts, died inexplicably, and there is no official record of it.

Legend has it that she died of an unusually serious illness, and it was the departure of Salazar Slytherin, who was the best at Potions, that left her with the last hope of survival.

Legend has it that she actually died of a heart disease, and her daughter Helena stole her golden crown and ran away, only to lose her life with Barrow, who was sent to find her.

But now, the "Ewen Ravenclaw" in front of Maca told him that Rowena's death was actually suicide.

"Let's not talk about that yet," said Old Eun with a slight sigh after a long pause, "Since you are indeed an alternative, then you are right...... Perhaps, as you said, there may be more than one candidate, which is indeed in line with Rowena's concept of preparedness. ”

In any case, to be able to continue to speak well, this is also what Maca wants.

Seriously, he didn't want to be enemies with the old man - at least he didn't want to make a move with him too soon. After all, he is not yet sure what the strength of the other side is, and it is not advisable to be blindly hostile.

Of course, when it comes to dealing with an unreasonable guy like Helbo, the other side often has only one option: "hostile".

Unless, standing in front of Helbo is a fool with no sense of crisis.

"So what?" When Maca heard this, she asked.

"So, didn't you just say that?" The old man said bluntly, "Salazar's followers failed to put 'him' to death, so it's my turn to come into the picture...... It may inevitably make you feel ridiculous, but I have to say that when we can't find a second way, the ridiculous solution becomes our last resort. ”

Speaking of which, he sorted out his thoughts for a moment before continuing: "Once 'he' is resurrected again, he will inevitably look for the ancient mirror that belongs to him...... Salazar smashed it to pieces with the Monument of Bewitchment, and Rowena sealed the fragment somewhere underground to prevent it from fitting it together on its own. ”

"And the first step we need to do now is to find out!"

When Ewen was saying these words, Maca's heart was still very delicate. Or rather, it's a subtle feeling with sporadic doubts.

He was puzzled that in Eun's words, there was no discord between Salazar Slytherin and Rowena; And what he felt deeply about was that the two things that the other party said were now in his hands!

However, doubts are only doubts, and after all, Maca is not fully convinced that this old man is really the same Ewen Ravenclaw himself.

When a large pile of unknowns suddenly pile up in front of you, you really can't let yourself have any other thoughts than doubt.

"Didn't Rowena tell you where she hid her things?" Maca asked casually as she pondered to herself.

"Yes, I think it's up to you," said Ewing Sr., "because, though she didn't tell me the exact location...... But she once said that the clue is at Hogwarts Castle. ”

What else can there be, isn't it the "Mirror of Eris" that has long been shattered? Although Maca didn't notice any traces of the geographical location on it at the beginning, the fragment of the mirror was still in the bag around Maca's waist, and she could study it again at any time.

"Yes," Maca replied quietly, "I'll look for it." ”

"Very good, I hope the plan can go smoothly, I'll wait for this day...... It's been a thousand years of waiting! As he spoke, the old man coughed a few more times, and his face became a little more tired.

"Of course, the plan itself is also destined for us to be in a hurry......

As he spoke, he suddenly glanced in the direction of the watchtower not far away. As you can see, Miriam and He-Man are already coming this way.

"And one more thing I must say—" said the old man at once, "that after leaving here, you and I will remain enemies. Don't underestimate 'that person', it is possible for him to choose anyone he can control and try to resurrect! Whether it is coercion, inducement or deception......"

At the end, he emphasized: "Remember, always be careful with the people around you. ”

Needless to say, Maca has been paying attention to this all the time. Helmo is not Voldemort, that guy is a living fossil in the wizarding world for thousands of years, even if the other party uses any means, Maca will not be surprised.

He can take advantage of the asymmetry of information to kill the other party once, but he can't guarantee that the next time will be the same.

"It's a tricky problem."

There was a hint of tiredness in Maca's eyes.
