The flames engulfed the six black-robed cultists.

It was like a tsunami of flames, slamming forward. Maca thought they might be able to figure out how to deal with it, as the six guys' previous dodging of the Shadowless Spell was enough to surprise him.

However, they did not resist ...... No, to be precise, it was almost unresistantly engulfed by the monstrous flames.

Maca looked at the six still smoking bodies in front of her, and instead of any pleasure, she frowned and clenched the staff in her hand.

And the next moment, on the top of the staff on the ground, a looming ice-blue rune silently dissipated.

"The old man...... Wrong. ”

Yes, just now, he originally wanted to use the majestic momentum of the flame wave to cover up his actions, and then directly use the cooling rune to control the old man on the high platform. Although he is now strong enough to make anyone arrogant, he still does not hesitate to deal with any opponent with the principle of lion fighting rabbit.

On the surface, he may be able to pretend to be casual and trade his contempt for the neglect of his opponents, but in reality he will always be the kind of guy who never wants to leave a way back for his opponents.

But this time......

Maca looked up at the empty carved stone platform in the depths of the main hall, and then turned her head sideways to sense the side halls on both sides and the space behind the main hall, and a little worry couldn't help but climb into her heart.

The old guy left when he was aiming at Maca to feint with flames and secretly awaken the runes. Earlier, before the cooling rune was activated, then Maca could have interrupted it; Later, the cooling rune was successfully activated, so he couldn't run even if he wanted to.

Therefore, whether it is the choice of timing or the decisiveness of action, it shows that the other party has made a very accurate judgment. In other words, Maca was really calculated!

To be honest, it's not the first time that someone has been calculated, and the reason for the other party's calculation is just to evacuate. But he was calculated before he even figured out the identity of the other party, which made him a little stunned.

"These six cultists were able to dodge the first attack, and the problem must be with the old man......" He narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, "maybe...... Is it the kind of manipulation magic that is similar to Greenwald? ”

Speculation for a moment didn't make much sense, and Maca quickly shook her head, then shook her sleeve at the ground. Immediately, a large pile of small spiders were shaken to the ground and gathered around him.

The eight-eyed giant spider is already good at reproducing, and even these varieties that have been alienated by the basilisk bloodline have already entered the first period of population growth. If someone sees this scene, I'm afraid anyone will have a numb scalp when they see it.

"Fence everyone outside, don't let anyone go, and allow the use of petrification abilities for those who resist and run away."

With that, as the pieces of alienated eight-eyed giant spiders left him and rushed to the door, Maca stepped up the stairs in the depths of the hall and walked quickly towards the stone platform.

"The remaining mana fluctuations were disrupted...... Is it? He stretched out his staff and tapped it lightly on the top of the stone platform, although he didn't get anything, but his expression was not much disappointed, "Well, should I say 'it really is'?" Or ......"

……

In any case, the harvest of his trip was sufficient.

He had originally gone for the sake of a group of wizards trying to disrupt the alchemy competition, and in the end, he had caught a bunch of wizards who were trying to misbehave. Except for the main Indian delegation, the rest of these wizards are dark wizards from neighboring countries, and after the interrogation, they will be transferred to the International Federation of Wizards.

On top of that, he even got some unexpected, suspicious information. Even if the prophecy obtained from the prophet was somewhat ambiguous—prophecy was generally virtuous, but it was what he needed, and it was enough to raise a glass of celebration if it was obtained accurately.

As for where the old prophet ran away at the end, and what secrets were hidden in the other party...... Because the old man fled resolutely and completely, this made Maca's side have to think long-term.

So, from the next morning, Maca was once again stuck in a cycle of lecturing and dealing with pre-match affairs. And the Order of the Phoenix, which has been stagnant for a long time, even if it seems that there are many fewer members who can be mobilized, it has ushered in a long-lost mission operation.

The church was suspicious, and it was likely to behave in the way of hindering the tournament, so Hogwarts was a natural object that had to be kept an eye on.

However, the actions of Maca and the Order of the Phoenix, while important, are somewhat boring. In contrast, the lives of young wizards are much more cheerful and pure......

"...... 'Ehaz' is cooperation, 'Eihaz' is defense? No, no, no...... This is the interpretation of the Rune, and if it is placed in the Anglo-Saxon-Fortok text, 'Eihaz' is actually the meaning of the guardian......"

In recent days, the castle's vestibule has built up a rather spectacular playing field, and Maca has put a lot of thought into it. But for Ens, who had been squatting in the library, it had nothing to do with him.

Because the burden of learning a script from scratch was too heavy for a freshman, he eventually abandoned the most systematic and orthodox study plan, and instead set his goal on "translating the words on that parchment is enough".

Although he didn't know that complete learning was not a bad thing, he really didn't have the heart to study and study on his own. He thought that he probably wouldn't take any ancient magic courses in the future, even if it was that Marca McKellen who was teaching.

And now, the parchment that had been placed on the round table in the secret room was about to complete the preliminary translation work. Of course, the rough quality of his translations is enough for him to rework and refine it several times.

"'Othila', wealth, property, inheritance...... If you put it here, well, it probably means 'funeral goods', right? No, if it were more accurate, should it be 'a legacy after death'......"

Lying in the corner of the reading table, Ens dropped the quill in his hand and breathed a heavy sigh of relief. It was a laborious task, more than ten times more strenuous than practicing spells—at least that's what he thought.

After relieving his muscles, Ens finally picked up the manuscript paper in front of him and shook it. Due to several reworkes, this wasn't the first time he'd seen it, and it wouldn't be the last:

——————

For the badgers lucky enough to come here:

First of all, you who can reach this secret room I have opened will not be the most typical little badger.

You may have Godric's courage, or you may have Rowener's intelligence...... Well, maybe even like Salazar, who has an interesting character who is "cold on the surface, but has an awkward sense of justice inside"?

Of course, no matter which one you are, or a combination of all three, you must still have the same diligent and determined heart as me, don't you?

Oh, it seems that I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Helga Hufflepuff, a fat witch who loves good food.

I actually feel very sorry when I write this. Because I know you're a student of my college, but I can't spend more time here talking to you about my favorite food......

I'll just mention a little bit: on the shelves, in the baskets, and in the cabinets in my secret room, all the recipes I have collected or created are yours now! Oh, I mean, if you're the first little badger to come here?

So, it's time to get down to business.

First, this letter is what I have been entrusted to keep here, and it involves a very secret plan;

Second, there seems to be a great deal of danger in this plan, at least as far as I know...... I'm not sure you'd be willing to risk your life, so it's up to you;

Third, if you choose to take the risk, I believe you will get a lot out of this plan, but I have to warn you that the rewards are often not as heavy as the payouts;

Fourth, I believe that you are a smart enough child to be able to take responsibility for your choices. If you see this and want to continue, then go to the third girl's bathroom on the second floor of the castle! You may be able to find something interesting, but beware of the guardians there.

Finally, don't worry, you'll have room to give up until you need to make your next choice. You are a lucky man, otherwise you would not have been able to find this remaining secret room.

So I sincerely wish you to be able to live your life in peace and freedom, just like me.

——————

It's a letter, a letter from the founder of Hufflepuff, and a somewhat confusing guide.

In this letter, the danger is mentioned several times, and it seems to have come from a plan.

“…… A plan with both risks and opportunities. ”

Even though Ens had seen it many times, he still couldn't figure anything out. Helga's letter can be said to be substantial, but it can also be said to be only a piece of nonsense.

That is, the letter is only meaningful if he chooses to follow the content of the letter. Otherwise...... At least he doesn't have much interest in what recipes he has.

"The third girl's bathroom on the second floor of the castle...... There's always water coming out from under that door? Ens leaned back in his chair and recalled, "There wasn't much to go there...... Let's take a look at it sometime! But until then, you have to be careful of that kid Alexander, don't let him notice......"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh: "What an annoying boy. ”
