Lin Ze did not answer.
The stone room was quiet for a few seconds, and Morgana sat back on the stone chair again, placing his fingers on his knees and tapping lightly.
Her eyes fell on Lin Ze's face, with a playful and leisurely look.
"What, you were right?" She tilted her head.
"Are you kidding me?"
"That's it?"
Morgana laughed, stood up from the stone chair, and swept the hem of his robe across the ground.
"I just thought your magic was strange."
"Now I think you are very interesting."
She took a step forward, completely ignoring the Yew Wand pointing at her, walked to the stone platform, and reached out to brush over the dark brown marks.
She raised a hand and drew an arc in the air with her slender fingers. Several faint rays of silver light overflowed from her fingertips and condensed into a tiny spot of light in the air.
The shape of the light spot made Lin Ze's pupils shrink.
The light spot was surrounded by several blue arcs. Although it was so small that it was almost invisible, the structure was too familiar to him.
It is the magic circuit of "Boundary Break".
Morgana looked at his expression and the corners of his mouth turned up.
"In that little girl's memory, you have used this kind of space magic many times. It took me about a cup of tea to experiment with its magic circuit."
She crushed the light spot and the silver light dispersed.
"In the hundreds of years I have lived, I have never seen anyone else use this technique. It is very subtle and concise, without the lengthy chanting ceremony. It seems like... it does not belong to this era."
Lin Ze's fingers holding the wand tightened slightly.
Morgana noticed his movements and raised his chin. "Relax, I have no ill intentions towards you. If I wanted to do anything to you, you would already be lying on the ground now."
"You are quite confident." Lin Ze Qing said "tsk".
Her tone was very casual when she said this.
But Lin Ze doesn't think she is bragging. The casual Transfiguration just now has explained a lot.
"What do you want from me?" Lin Ze asked.
"I should ask you this." Morgana corrected him.
"You ran all the way from the North to Crow Valley just to find me?"
"There is a magic circle in the North's sentry tower, and your name is written on the magic circle."
Morgana's fingers paused for a moment.
"Magic circle?"
"A circular magic circle surrounded by gray-white powder. The arc is broken and there is no core symbol, but it does not hinder the flow of magic power at all."
Lin Ze said while observing her expression.
Morgana's smile disappeared, and the expression on his face slowly became serious.
"You mean Broken Arc Array?"
"You know?"
"Of course." Morgana straightened up from the stone platform and walked to Lin Ze.
"That thing, I taught it to a student a long time ago."
"Student?"
"Well, he was a very talented kid, but I later kicked him out of the school."
"Why?"
"Because he doesn't agree with my concept of magic." Morgana's tone darkened.
"He is interested in turning living people into dead people, and then turning dead people into other things."
The air in the stone room became cold for a moment.
Lin Ze looked at Morgana's expression and judged that she was not lying.
"Where is that student now?"
"I don't know. I haven't heard from him since he left. It's probably more than a hundred years ago." Morgana's tone was slightly tired. No one knew what happened between her and her student.
"You are looking for me because you think that formation is related to me and what do you think I am up to?"
"I did think so."
Morgana was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud. The corners of his eyes curled up when he laughed, which was completely different from the scrutinizing smile before.
"To be honest, you're really interesting."
She turned around and patted the edge of the stone platform.
The stone platform cracked in the middle and receded to both sides, revealing a hidden grid underneath.
There is a wooden box in the secret room.
Lin Ze looked at Morgana's movements and did not approach.
The wooden box in the secret compartment is not big, about a palm long. There is no lock on it, and the cover is held down by a few stone pieces.
Morgana Take away the stone pieces and open the lid of the box.
There is a finger bone in the box.
Lin Ze Standing where he was, he could feel his breathing changing rhythm.
That phalanx - exactly the same as the one Saira gave him.
The joints are thick, the surface is ivory matte, the fractures are rounded and patinated evenly.
"Have you seen it?" Morgana looked at Lin Ze's reaction in surprise.
"It's not just that I've seen it before..." Lin Ze said, taking out the phalange Saira gave him from the small box.
Morgana raised his eyebrows again when he saw the small box of Lin Ze: "A very exquisite space spell."
Then, her eyes fell on the phalanx in Lin Ze's hand. "This... seems to be pretty similar..."
The finger bones in the hands of the two people are close together. The one of Lin Ze is slightly thicker. Other than that, the texture and gloss are exactly the same.
"Could it be that... these are bones from the same person?" Morgana frowned and guessed.
"What... what is the use of this thing?" Lin Ze asked a question he had always had.
Morgana glanced at Lin Ze in surprise. "You don't know what it does?"
"Should I know?" Lin Ze asked.
Morgana did not answer, but gently rubbed the phalanx in his hand with his fingers. A faint light lit up from the phalanx, and a blurry figure suddenly appeared next to the two of them.
Like the ghost of Hogwarts.
"This is..." Lin Ze looked at the ghost in confusion.
"Finger bones can trap the souls of the dead in the mortal world and help them become ghosts wandering the world." Morgana said.
"Then this one of mine... can also be used?" Lin Ze looked at the phalanges in his hand.
"It seems you really don't know the function of this thing." Morgana shook his head.
"According to legend, a god created the world, but died after exhausting his power... His body turned into all the spirits in the world... Only his right hand turned into five bones that maintain the rules of the world..."
"These five finger bones represent: life, wisdom, space, world, and death."
"And this stick in my hand is death."
Morgana put the "death" finger bone back into the wooden box, but did not close the lid.
Her eyes rested on the slightly thicker phalange in Lin Ze's hand for a long time.
"Where did you get that finger bone?"
"Whitewater Valley is in the hands of a clan leader named Colin. He said it was passed down from his ancestors."
"Whitewater Valley..." Morgana's fingertips tapped twice on the stone table.
"It seems to be...the North?"
"Yes." Lin Ze nodded.
"How to use this thing?" Lin Ze asked. He tried to touch the phalanges in his hand like Morgana, but found that the phalanges were indifferent at all.
"How to use?" Morgana chuckled and looked at Lin Ze.
"I can tell you... but... what will you do in return for me?" As she spoke, she glanced frivolously at Lin Ze from top to bottom.
