This second experience was even more unreasonable than the first.

Perhaps it has been seen that Maca does not want to cooperate, or for other reasons, this time the action is much more restrictive.

Although you can usually take the initiative to carry out some activities, if you deviate from the mission goal, that invisible control will immediately appear. So more often than not, Maca can only be a spectator from a first-person VIP perspective.

It's a strange feeling, and there's a strong sense of disobedience.

He could clearly feel any action Alani did, any mental activity, even the sensory experience of every action, but he could not interfere with it in any way.

What's more worth mentioning is that even from a purely rational point of view, two different people will have different criteria for judgment.

"From a rational point of view?" Maca was confused by her own thoughts.

Clearly, he sensed something unusual - he never thought about things from a purely rational point of view, which was not at all in line with his philosophy.

Watch as the scenery changes all the time, from riding a horse to the Seljuk capital of Bahata Tower, to the royal palace. It can be said that Alani's own actions are more simple and direct than his, but they are also more swift and concise.

It wasn't until Alani, disguised as a Sunni, pretended to speak and assassinate his target in one fell swoop, that a cry of grief from the soul suddenly erupted.

"What's the matter—" Maka thought for a moment, and then immediately reacted.

"It's the dagger......"

He could feel that the mysterious dagger was torturing the soul of the assassin!

According to the magic book on souls in the forbidden section of the Hogwarts Library, torturing the souls of the same kind can gain great power, but it can also cause one's own soul to vibrate and even be damaged.

There are many ancient forms of dark magic that have been created using this theoretical property - such as the long-lost method of making soul crates.

Of course, there are also those who do the opposite, such as the legendary dark wizard who invented the method of making Horcruxes by referring to the Soul Crate theory, the despicable Helbo.

As Maca pondered, she found that her entire vision had turned white.

When he came back to his senses, he found himself back in the old, rugged hall.

"Welcome back, young candidate."

The light around her body was fading, and Maca looked at the black-haired and black-eyed woman in front of her, feeling a similar aura in the other party for the first time.

She's touched it too...... The dagger?

"Rowena-Mira?" Maca asked.

The other party nodded slightly, and said calmly: "Young candidate, this test may last for a long time, I hope you can pass it safely." ”

"What is the goal of this test?" Maca continued to ask.

But Roina Milla shook her head, and instead of answering his question, she continued.

"Remember, you have to pass the test before you can move on to the next step." Her expression was still calm, but the solemnity in her eyes was even greater.

"When you get a response from the Bronze Eagle, you'll know what's going on," she said, "and I hope you won't follow in my ......footsteps."

Before the words fell, Maca just wanted to continue asking. But in an instant, the hall suddenly began to decay and weather, and soon changed back to its original appearance.

And Rowena Mira has completely lost a trace.

……

Life at Hogwarts in Year 2 is actually no different from Year 1. Except, of course, that there is a peacock-like Lockhart among the professors.

If anything, it's a change in Team Quidditch.

First of all, Harry finally joined the Gryffindor team in his second year, and Ron was excited about it; In contrast, Malfoy also became a Seeker for the Slytherin team, and his father Lucius even funded a new batch of Halo 2001s, for which he mocked Harry.

But he was probably still worried about the lesson Maca had taught him last semester, and when Hermione returned sarcastically, he glared at Hermione angrily, opened his mouth a few times, but still chose to ignore it.

On top of that, something big happened to the Hufflepuff team. That is, Maca actually took the initiative to submit an application to withdraw from the team.

Although Maca was only allowed to withdraw temporarily due to the request of the members of the academy and even Dean Sprout, this was still a big regret for the entire Hufflepuff.

In fact, in addition to minimizing interference in the actions of the trio of lion cubs, he also needs a lot of time to study the knowledge and application of spirituality.

If there's one clue at the moment, it's obviously about the mysterious power of the dagger.

Although no matter how much you check, you can't find any information about that thing, but if you follow this clue, you can't go wrong after all.

"I'm a Hufflepuff, and being more low-key is the way to go."

In the following days, Maca spent all the time in the corner of the library except for class time, and the whole person exuded the atmosphere of being unapproachable. More like a real Slytherin than a Hufflepuff.

And Hermione, who used to discuss with him in the library, has never dared to approach him because of the unknown factors in her heart.

This continued until October.

Lately, the wet cold has been spreading everywhere, permeating the entire Hogwarts castle at all times.

A sudden flu broke out among the staff and students, leaving Madam Pomfrey the head nurse scrambling. Her pick-me-up had an immediate effect, but those who drank it would smoke in their ears for hours on end.

Ginny Weasley has been ill lately, and was forced by Percy to drink some pick-me-ups. As a result, puffs of steam came out from under her bright hair, and her whole head seemed to be on fire.

Harry, on the other hand, has been training on the Quidditch pitch all this time, and no matter how hard it rains, Oliver Wood, the captain of the Gryffindor team, is always enthusiastic.

After all, Slytherin's batch of Halo 2001 made the team members feel a lot of pressure.

In the blink of an eye, Halloween is just around the corner......

Hermione herself didn't know why she didn't dare go up and talk to him. Smart as she was, but she couldn't tell what the reason was, she just thought that Maca seemed to have changed a little.

In recent times, even Professor Gilderoy Lockhart, whom she particularly admires, has sometimes struggled to distract her.

"What the hell is he...... What's wrong? Hermione sat on the other side of the library, looking at Maca who was writing from afar, and hesitated to herself.

The other day, Harry was invited by the ghost of Gryffindor, the almost headless Nick, to attend the ghosts' death party, and she and Ron would go as well.

In fact, she was looking forward to the party, after all, it was very peculiar, and the living were rarely invited.

She was tempted to go over and ask Marka if she wanted to go with her.

Hermione hesitated in her chair for a long time, and it wasn't until it was nearly evening that she clenched her fists and cheered herself up.

"Hmm...... Maca. Hermione said softly.

But Maka, who was buried in the information book, didn't even raise her head, as if she hadn't heard, and was still focused on her own business.

"Marka," Hermione raised her voice a little, "Nick, who almost ran out of his head, invited Harry to his death party, I think...... Won't you go with you tomorrow night? ”

Maca still didn't answer, he continued to write down some information in his notebook, but after waiting for a while, Hermione never left.

He sensed that someone else was watching this side, and thought that it was not a good idea to ignore it all the time, so he shook his head slightly.

Hermione saw that Maca didn't even want to lift her head, and her heart was troubled.

“…… Good. ”

After a long time, she dropped that sentence, turned around and hurried away, forgetting to return the books she had borrowed on the reading table. Behind her, Mrs. Pince's shrill shouts could be heard, but she didn't bother to pay attention to them.

That night, it was still raining heavily outside the castle, and when you look out, it looks as black as if a layer of ink has been applied to the windows.

It's still a day before Halloween, and the Gryffindor common room is really brightly lit and cheerful.

The glow of the fireplace illuminates the countless soft armchairs in which people sit reading, chatting, and doing homework. Fred and George, the Weasley brothers, are not idle—they're studying what would happen if they gave a salamander some hard work to pull out fireworks!

Fred "rescued" the bright orange-red lizard from the Conservation of Magical Creatures class. At the moment, it was lying on a table and burning sullenly, and a group of curious people were gathering around it.

As Hermione pushed the door in, the salamander whizzed into the air, spinning wildly around the room, crackling sparks, and a few ping-pong loud noises.

Percy reprimanded Fred and George in a hoarse voice, and the posture looked exactly like Mrs. Weasley's.

The salamander's mouth spews orange-red stars, which is very beautiful and spectacular.

With a series of explosions, it flew in front of Hermione, who had just walked in, but Hermione directly pulled out her wand and threw a freezing spell over.

She's in a terrible mood right now!

“…… What's wrong, Hermione? Ron leaned in and asked cautiously.

"Don't bother me!" Hermione shook her head and walked briskly towards the girls' dormitory, quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.

"What's wrong with her?" Ron turned his head and said to Harry with an embarrassed expression.

"How do I know?" Harry shrugged, revealing that he was confused as well.

Thinking about it left and right, they had to go back to sleep honestly - Harry had been training hard lately, and he was a little sleepy right now.

"I remember, Hermione went to the library......" Ron thought to himself as he passed by the entrance to the women's dormitory, "maybe...... Is it because of Maca? ”

Although Ron is not smart, he can know Maca, but he also feels that Maca has been a little alienated from them recently. In particular, Maca doesn't seem to be with them lately.
