Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

Is there any other defensive magic on this tower? Maca couldn't help thinking to himself.

But obviously, the next moment he realized that he had guessed wrong.

When the group of fire dragons approached the tower again, they headed towards this side and began to dive. However, hundreds of slender red light beams suddenly appeared under the high tower. They looked quite dense, and they shot towards the fire dragons in the midair in a parabolic form, drawing red arcs in the air Wire.

For a while, the fire dragons panicked and began to dodge, but the number of those magic beams was too many, and the density was so extraordinary that they couldn't dodge at all. The dozens of fire dragons fell one by one like dumplings, and smashed hard into the woods on the island.

Not long after, they flew up again, glanced at the red halo gathered around the tower again, and left in despair.

Maca hurriedly poked his head out to look down the tower, and immediately saw those little figures on the ground.

Elves? Maca was really taken aback this time, It's hard to imagine how grand the scene was when the ancient wizards conquered these elves... I remember some ancient books mentioned that there were quite a lot of elves at that time!

For those blessed intelligent magical creatures, using natural abilities is almost as simple as eating. It's no wonder that every war initiated by those intelligent magical creatures will cause a big turmoil in the magic world.

Not to mention the current state of the house elves, when the ancient wizards were able to completely conquer this creature, that kind of magical power is really desirable! Compared with today's more life-oriented spells, the gap is really ...

Maca looked at the cheering appearance of the little elves below, but a desire for powerful ancient magic arose in his heart.

He didn't do it for anything else, he just wanted to see with his own eyes how mysterious those ancient magics were—this was completely the mentality of a theoretical researcher.

It has to be said that after Maca obtained the Tome of Truth, his desire to explore magic theory is rapidly increasing. Although he was originally very interested in magic, this growing desire was faintly abnormal.

However, this abnormality was not obvious, even with Maca's vigilance, he didn't notice it at all.

After repelling the attacking dragons, the elves apparated again with a crackling burst, and all left. Maca turned his head, looked at the cup of black tea on the table, thought about it, and took a sip.

The tea was warm and tasted quite good. Unfortunately, he didn't know much about black tea, so he thought it was for quenching his thirst, so he drank it up in a while.

Want to try it? It tastes good. Maca turned her head and looked at Willie who was still standing by the window.

After resting for a while, Maca saw that the group of elves had no intention of coming back, so he decided to continue searching other rooms.

It's just that Muggle wizards always complain that most of the wizard's buildings are not reasonable!

There are surprisingly many rooms on the third floor, and most of them are used as laboratories. Except for a large number of bottles and cans, there is almost nothing useful. Even the potion bottles on the closet were mostly empty, they were just neatly arranged there.

However, some rooms are surprisingly empty, as if magic such as the No Trace Stretching Curse has been cast in them, and there is nothing in the room, which looks a little strangely empty.

But on the entire third floor, there is one room that is particularly distinctive.

This place seems to be just a very ordinary small restaurant, but Maca immediately discovered something special in it as soon as he entered - this is a room that has been cast with a strange spell.

Although he and Willie can walk around freely in it, nothing can be touched by them. When you stretch out your hand, it will only pass through the place that should be a solid body, as if everything here is just an illusion.

This made Maca have to think about the deep meaning of it.

It seems that this is here, Maca thought to himself, but, what secrets are hidden here?

He and Willie wandered around here twice, but didn't gain anything. Even if he saw something valuable, if he couldn't touch it, what's the use?

what?

Suddenly, Maca felt something was wrong.

The surrounding space... no, the surrounding objects are changing! Whether it's the dining table, the chairs, the surrounding closet cabinets, or even the blank portraits on the walls, they are gradually becoming distorted. The magnitude of the distortion is not large, but everything has been slightly deformed.

Seeing this strange situation, Maca couldn't help frowning. Just as he was about to take out his wand to test it out, the surroundings changed again!

This time the movement was not small.

All around, with Maca and Wei Li as the center, a large number of characters suddenly appeared! They appeared out of nowhere in the space of this restaurant, exuding a faint golden fluorescent light, constantly rotating around them slowly.

If we put aside the current situation, this scene looks extremely beautiful.

But what surprised Maca was that unlike the regular runes on the Book of Truth, he had basically seen all those symbols.

Just before, in order to analyze the rule runes on the Book of Truth, he almost searched all kinds of ancient texts. Some are runes widely circulated in the wizarding world, and some are non-runes obtained from archaeological research in the Muggle world.

Now, he can even tell from the writing around him which ones are hieroglyphs from ancient Egypt and which ones are Sumerian cuneiform...

The closest thing to him is undoubtedly the 22 Phoenician characters floating in front of him.

They are a kind of symbolic language recorded in the Muggle world, and it is said that they are the origin of the European alphabet. According to research by Muggle archaeologists, they were created by those Phoenician merchants in 1000 BC.

What does this mean? Maca looked around, losing his mind for a moment.

But even though he had no clue, he gradually understood that this might be another mystery left by Rowena. The bronze eagle had said that he was asked to come here to fetch something, and the breakthrough was obviously right in front of him.

As time passed, Maca changed from standing to sitting, and there were more notebooks and quills in his hands. He wrote and drew on the paper as if fascinated. Obviously, he has entered a state of research.

Willy on the other hand seemed very calm.

Although she was also attracted by those wonderful symbols for a while, she soon turned her attention to Maca. She sat quietly on the floor beside her, watching Maca in a daze.

No one knew what she was thinking, maybe she wasn't thinking about anything, just sitting in a daze.

In this dreamlike space, time seems to have no meaning of existence. For a while, the place was surprisingly quiet, and only Maca's rustling writing sound from time to time proved that there were still living people here.

The sky outside gradually darkened, and the afternoon passed quietly. In the gradually darkened room, there were only many symbols left slowly drifting in mid-air, exuding a faint brilliance.

Soon, Maca stopped what he was doing. He took out a bottle of condensed sand and shook it. A soft white light burst out from the bottle immediately, illuminating the whole room like daytime.

This is an improved version of the shimmer sand he used in the Whooping Willow Tunnel. Although it is still only a slightly prepared material, its brightness and durability have been greatly increased. It’s just that the additives of this stuff are a little expensive, and I’m not willing to use more if I’m as stingy as Maca, after all, the number of uses is limited.

He put the bottle containing the condensed sand aside, then turned around and took some food out of the suitcase, and handed it to Willie beside him.

Here, are you hungry? Maca smiled and said, Sorry, I tend to forget the time when I start researching. If you are sleepy, I have a sleeping bag here.

Willie took the food and looked at it. It was some cakes bought in Italy, which looked quite delicate. She peeled off the package without saying a word, and began to eat in small bites.

Maca saw that she didn't seem to want to talk, so she had to take out the sleeping bag first, and laid it flat on the floor for her.

Willie finished eating the cake in her hand, shook her head slightly and rejected the second one offered by Maca, then moved her buttocks and sat on the sleeping bag, as if she was going to continue to be in a daze.

Don't you want to do something else? Maca asked, You can continue to read the herbal notes I gave you.

Willie nodded slightly, but didn't move.

What's wrong? Maca asked curiously.

Mom said you need to rest after eating. Willie said calmly.

Maca glanced at her with a subtle expression, sighing secretly that he was just worrying blindly.

He stuffed the cake in his hand into his mouth in two or three bites, then clapped his hands, and then returned his attention to his notebook again.

As the research continued to deepen, he finally found a clue in the arrangement order of a large number of symbols around him. He found that the 22 Phoenician characters closest to him had various connections to other ancient scripts around them. But if one further scrutinizes it, the connection becomes specious.

According to Muggle textual research, Phoenician characters are derived from pictographs and cuneiform. It is a matter of course that they are connected. But...

Could it be that these 22 Phoenician characters are not the original version? Maca frowned tightly, the gear called thinking was spinning rapidly in his mind, Since this is Rowena's volume of truth The puzzle left by the owner, that is to say...

Maca paused for a moment, then patted his head as if suddenly realizing it, and picked up the quill again.

He compared the various characters in front of him, and began to try to compare and restore the 22 Phoenician characters in front of him according to his own understanding.
