For every outcome, there will be a corresponding beginning.

For example, Maca's struggle in every possible way stems from the fact that he is a person who lives in the moment, and everything in front of him contains reluctance;

For example, Helmaugh's myriad calculations come from the fact that he is a person who lives in the past, and the desire that was born when he first met his first teacher has been with him all his life.

And now, with a number of ancient magical items scattered around the world like nightmares, intertwined with the participation of Rowena, Helpo, and Maca, it seems that there should always be a source, right?

Yes, absolutely.

It's just that I'm afraid that even Helbo, who has lived a very long life, can't know about things that are even more distant from him. What we can trace back to is only part of it.

So maybe it can be said here as well...... The story actually begins with Helbo's first teacher, the sorceress Kern, who was called the "goddess of death" by many of his contemporaries at the end of the ancient Greek era.

Oh yes! When the story first begins, the witch Kern is just a gifted but unrecognizable genius girl. At that time, she had not yet experienced the unprecedented battle, and was given the title of "death" because of how many defeats she had defeated the witches.

She just calls herself "The Great Witch Kern", who has just defeated her teacher, and has begun to travel on her own to gain knowledge and find the true meaning of magic in the traces of nature full of rules.

One day, however, a huge stone monument perched in a barren part of Africa blocked her path. Hidden in the stele was some kind of mysterious rule power that she had never encountered before, and it immediately attracted her.

At that time, Kern, a young girl with great talent and extraordinary wisdom since childhood, had been on a smooth journey since she followed her teacher into contact with magic. Any problem in the study of magic came into her hands, and almost nothing could trap her for more than three days.

But for the first time, the power in that stone tablet put her in a difficult situation.

It is conceivable when a genius who does all the research effortlessly finally finds a puzzle that can match his intellectual gifts...... How wonderful it must be to feel like a rain after a long drought!

"Matter drives appearance, spirit deduces rules, complements each other, and lives and dies together...... This should have been true. However, this stele is different - it is both spiritual and material, how can there be such a thing in this world? ”

The girl Kern sat on the ground on the deserted land, looking up at the huge black monument in front of her, with a trace of excitement and more doubts, and gradually fell into deep thought.

Obviously, many things in this world are not difficult to go from "one" to "two", but from "zero" to "one" is the most difficult.

Rowena Ravenclaw, who was known for her wisdom in the wizarding world, also assisted Slytherin in researching the Monument of Bewitchment, and finally helped Slytherin master the rules of arrogance after consulting ancient books, references, and the wisdom of his predecessors.

However, at that time, there was no information about this monument. Even at that time, when the vast majority of wizards were still gathered in Europe and Asia, maybe she was the first wizard in the world to find this stone tablet.

However, after a long period of thinking, temptation and research, the girl Kern still came up with the results by one person!

"If the spirit can deduce the rules, where does the spirit itself come from?"

After saying this to himself, Kern gradually shifted his gaze from the stone tablet to himself.

Then, she discovered the "soul".

However, the young girl Kern apparently did not have a penchant for naming her discoveries, so the word "soul", which represents the spiritual source, was not yet born in language at that time. She just knew about the concept and didn't hesitate to continue her research on it.

It wasn't until a few years later that Kern, a girl who slept in the open air, roughly determined the possibility of the composition of the soul, and realized that there should be seven objects in this world that resembled the giant monument in front of her, each corresponding to the characteristics of a certain part of the soul.

So, after spending several years here, she finally planned to set off again - to find the six remaining ancient items in addition to this stone tablet, in order to try to completely decipher the rules of the soul.

However, how can a monument that has not yet been completely solved, but has given rise to more questions, just left here? Now that she's found it, it's her own - that's what Kern thought at the time.

Therefore, after a few years, this genius girl who was the first in ancient Greece reached out and touched the stone tablet for the first time, wanting to find a way to take it away.

But at this moment, a change occurred!

As the girl's hand touched the stone tablet, the power of the rules that seemed peaceful and quiet in it awakened like a sleeping beast. The power of the rules that could erode the soul was instantly unleashed indiscriminately into the surrounding space, and the power of bewitchment swept through everything it could reach.

The girl Kern went from being calm at the beginning, to being surprised at the first sight, and finally returning to calm.

After several years of studying the soul, she immediately realized the problem; And she, who is already bold and confident, naturally will not be afraid of her soul being infected.

At that moment, she was delighted - if she wanted to solve a puzzle, there was no better way to study it than to experience it firsthand.

Perhaps, it is more fruitful to get a peek at the whole picture by mastering one of the seven branches of the Soul Rule than to collect all seven items and then put them together to study.

Therefore, Kern stayed in front of the stele a lot with his strong and firm will in a state of seduction and bewilderment with the vicissitudes of the ancient sayings in his ears all day long.

She could hear the inexplicable whispers every day, and every day she would see a large number of creatures gathered under the lure of the giant monument, and one by one they killed themselves by her side in various ways and postures.

Blood stained the land over and over again, and the area around the monument began to become muddy, and after a long time, it even seemed to turn into a blood-colored swamp.

But Kern turned a blind eye to this, for nothing seemed to her to be more important than her study of the rules—not even her own life, which was weakening, depleting, and dying.

She is a natural wizard, and studying magic is everything to her...... I don't know when this thought took root in her mind.
