Chapter 436 Revisiting the Old Place

( ) On that day, Madam Pomfrey finally failed to satisfy Joshua's wish to see Maca. Because just this morning, Maca had already left Hogwarts alone.

The location where he was going this time did not have the location coordinates of the Portkey set in advance. For this reason, he had to set off as early as possible, using Albania, the coordinate point closest to the destination, as a transit point, and spent the whole morning on high-speed flight.

And when Maca successfully arrived at the target location against the sea breeze, Joshua had just woke up from the hospital bed in the school hospital.

"It seems... not much has changed here?"

Maca landed on an open beach. The sand washed by the tide day and night is particularly fine, and it rustles when walking on it.

This is an island located in the central waters of the Mediterranean Sea, and it is also the long-lost hometown in Maca's impression.

Even if you are standing on the edge of the island, you only need to look far into the center of the island, and you can see a tall and pointed tower rising from the ground, and a soft white light is emitting from the top of the tower.

Although it had been a long time since Maca came here last time, he still clearly remembered that it was best not to fly casually on this island.

He walked quickly through the dense jungle on the island, and along the way he found that the magical creatures living here were still as diverse as in the past, but the number didn't seem to have much difference, obviously they had been maintained at a stable level. And in the natural ecological structure.

Maca, who was running, accelerated again, deftly dodging the dense forest, and quickly passed through this vibrant island jungle.

Not long after, when his eyes widened, the eye-catching tower appeared in his line of sight again.

The many pointed huts extending from the outer wall of the tower have not changed in any way from what they saw at the beginning, but there are obviously more green vines climbing on the curved wall than the last time I came, and they are part of the lower huts. Almost the whole thing is covered with a layer of smooth vitality.

Maca looked up at the eagle-shaped coat of arms on the top floor of the tower. The golden eagle on the black background was distinct in color, and under the maintenance of magic, it was not even stained with dust.

Seeing this huge coat of arms again, Maca's thoughts became complicated.

There are many ambiguities in the cognition of Rowena Ravenclaw, whether it is passed on by word of mouth or recorded in literature.

Rather,

There are very few things that are very clear.

However, most of the rumors about Rowena are positive, but this is an indisputable fact. No doubt this is the exact opposite of what Maca has learned from the Book of Sins.

To be honest, the rune table attached at the end of the "Book of Sin" is a great help for Maca to have such strength now. If it was all up to him to figure out the volume of truth, he would not know that the year of the monkey would be able to reach the level of understanding the power of rules!

Regarding the content recorded in the "Book of Sin" and the warnings conveyed by his future self, he had to believe it.

But just as he almost caused a catastrophe because of a plan, he can't guarantee that his future self will not make mistakes. In fact, he understands very well that even though he is holding a reminder from the future, every step he takes now still needs to be carefully explored by himself.

So, even though he now has the strength to clear many obstacles, even though he still has doubts about whether Rowena is a lunatic who pursues the destruction of the world, he has never even approached Raven in Hogwarts Castle again. Crow tower step.

From the existence of the bronze kitty eagle, it can be known that his magic research is far from reaching the level of Rowena. Until he can understand that kind of magic, he will not get involved in it lightly.

And the upper floor of the tower in front of him was the same for him.

"...Elves, I'm coming to see you!"

Standing in the open space in front of the tower, Maca cast a spell on himself, and then immediately yelled. But the language he used sounded strange.

During this period of time, every time he had free time, he would open books to study and research, and even consumed a lot of intelligence enhancers, just for today's moment.

Learning a language is hard work, but learning an ancient language is even more difficult.

When he first came here and found that he couldn't talk to those elves, he had the idea of ​​​​studying that language.

But later, when he left the island, he gave up again.

The elves here are obviously quite different from the house elves outside. If it weren't for the big difference in appearance, it would be difficult for him to connect the two.

For the elves living here, perhaps knowing nothing about the magic world outside is the most suitable future for them.

Because of this, Maca didn't want to study this useless language. In his opinion, it seems like a good choice for them to stay here and reproduce quietly.

But just recently, when Maca found out that Hogwarts' defense force was quite empty, he was a bit out of his wits, and he once again took up the idea of ​​these wild elves on the island.

"Xiao Jing—"

Seeing that there seemed to be no movement around, Maca was about to shout again. But he had just uttered the cry, and before he could finish it, he heard a crackling sound in the space around him, and a large group of little elves apparated and appeared beside him.

There are so many of them that they immediately surrounded him completely.

"Oops! Humans are calling us—"

"Wow! I finally see humans again! Look at him, look at him, he's looking at me!"

"Isn't this the same person who came last time? I remember I remember—I remember the smell of his magic power!"

"Yes, yes! He has grown taller again, much taller than when he came last time!"

"It's not the human being from last time, is it? His magic power is a bit cool, chilly—"

The elves surrounded Maca in the middle, talking in a hurry, fast and messy, as if setting off firecrackers, it made people dizzy.

Maca has studied hard, but now he can barely realize that it is still a very difficult task to fully understand what they are saying.

"Wait!" Maca yelled, opening her arms, "slow down—what you're saying—I've only just learned—"

"Hahaha! He said 'I just learned it', hahahaha——" an elf pointed at Maca and laughed, "My grandpa's grandpa's grandpa would say that! No, it's grandpa's grandpa's." Grandpa's grandpa..."

"I wouldn't say that! My good grandson—" Another elf slapped his friend vigorously, and bent over to pretend to be old-fashioned, "No, it's grandson's grandson's grandson grandson of..."

Maca looked at the group of elves laughing wildly, a bit puzzled.

"Get out of the way—all out of the way!"

Just when he was puzzled, an old goblin pushed aside the little fellows who were close together, and slowly came to Maca.

"Everyone be quiet! This is a guest!" Elder Goblin said solemnly, "Have you forgotten the rules taught to you by your parents and elders? We don't need clansmen who don't understand the rules like the elves!"

This scolding made all the young goblins shut their mouths immediately, and the chaotic scene immediately calmed down.

"Hello, are you...the patriarch here?" Maca asked as clearly as possible in strict accordance with the language rules recorded in the book.

"No, I'm not," the goblin elder shook his head lightly. The passing years made the originally sharp elf voice much older and deeper, "There is no longer a patriarch on this island. I'm already a job, I'm just relatively older."

"Is it related to... Rowena?" Maca asked curiously, "Oh, I mean—Rowena Mira, you should know?"

"Yes, I know." Elder Goblin nodded slightly, "But the fact that there is no patriarch has nothing to do with Roynamiras—"

He paused, and then continued: "She is the pioneer of this island, and our ancestors only had a little agreement with her. Apart from the most basic daily maintenance for her magic tower, we There has not been any other mutual interference between Waiting and her."

"The reason why we don't have a patriarch is just because of a rule of our elf clan."

While the elf elder was talking, Maca pricked up his ears to listen and understand intently. Although it was still a little difficult, at least it was much better than the buzzing mess just now.

"Rules?" Maca thought for a while, "Then I won't inquire casually... By the way, please allow me to introduce myself, my name is 'Maca McLean', and I come from a country in the northwest .”

"Human wizard! Lark, I greet you!" The elf elder bowed slightly, "You are my long-lost guest, please sit in the room! The elf will bring you a sweet spring. "

Surrounded by the elves, Maca followed the elder elves, and after the last time, stepped into this ancient wizard tower again.

The furnishing of the lowermost floor of the tower remains the same as before, and the circular hall is spotless. The bricks and stones under the feet are closely arranged, and the tapestries on the surrounding walls are beautifully woven, but the picture frames are all blank, which makes people feel a little lonely.

When Maca walked in with the elves, the lamps on the wall were lit one by one with the wave of the elder elves, and the soft magic light brightened the originally dull hall.

"Young wizard! I will take the place of the long-gone master, Royna Mira, and welcome your return!"
