There are a lot of people in the central square, and there are more and more people.

But with the coordination of Hermione and the three of them, everyone kept a minimum of silence. Even when they wanted to talk to their companions, everyone kept their voices as low as possible, and no one was making any noise here.

However, even if the voices of these volunteers are soft, once the number of people gathered together will inevitably become buzzing and noisy.

Fortunately, no one actually cares about such a messy voice right now.

"Neville, do you know what it's like to be when you die?"

As Neville stood beside the Mercury statue and looked at the crowd around him, he suddenly heard Luna, who was leaning back against the statue's pedestal and looking up at the sky, ask for no reason.

"What?"

Neville turned his head and glanced at Luna in a daze.

But Luna didn't look at him, she just pursed her lips slightly, looked up at the "sky" above Spiral Town, which was nothing but the sun, and shook her head gently.

"Nothing, I was just thinking...... Maybe death isn't always a bad thing, either. If the more a person lives, the more trouble he will bring to others—"

"No, it's certainly not."

Perhaps Luna's words reminded Neville of his parents, their stupidity and madness for more than ten years, and he couldn't help but want to deny Luna's words.

"I don't know why you say that, but Luna, I dare say that a person must be better alive than dead! Even if it will cause trouble to the people around you, but ...... Who isn't? ”

Neville's tongue must have been clumsy, and his mind was perhaps not very bright, but he was right—there will inevitably be trouble in life, and trouble will come with trouble.

There are so many people in this world, you can't kill them all in one spell, can you?

However, Neville's head is not bright, but Luna is probably smart. Just as Hermione had said to her, even if the girl with long blond hair didn't think logically, her erratic thinking often pointed straight to the answer.

"Anyway," Luna pursed her lips and whispered, "as long as you can help him." ”

……

Bang bang bang bang

When Maca, who was talking to Xenophilius in the room, heard this, she finally stopped his seemingly aimless conversation, pushed away her chair and stood up.

"Mr. Lovegood, I think it's time for me to go."

When Xenoflius heard this, he couldn't help but look up at him, and then nodded and said:

"Be careful."

"Okay, thanks."

Before leaving, Maca couldn't help but subconsciously glance at Xenophilius. And perhaps it was because he had been thinking elsewhere until this last glimpse that he was slightly surprised, but by no means surprised, that the man seemed to be a little older than he remembered.

Needless to say, the father is worried about the child after all, even if he is willing to let the child go his own way.

Coming out of the hut, Maca still maintained his disguise, but in his eyes, it seemed to be a little more determined and confident.

I saw him slowly walk to the mouth of the alley, stop for a moment in the blind corner that others just couldn't see, and then shield his breath and began to wait for the crowd on the street outside to gradually leave.

In the midst of the turbulent crowd, the old self was also mixed in, rushing to try to see that Dumbledore again...... Although in the end, it was only a glance from afar.

As the young volunteers on the street hurried by, led by Hermione, to Faversham to support the evacuation, Maca took advantage of the opportunity to step out of the shadows in the corner and trot to the square not far away.

"Hey! Is it Mr. Longbottom and Miss Lovegood? ”

"Oh...... Uh, yes...... You are? ”

Neville was a little puzzled when he saw a figure coming briskly from the street at the end of the square, greeting him as he ran.

To be honest, he's seen a lot of people since he came to Spiral Town. Some of these people are sad about the disaster that has befallen them, some are full of hatred for the death of their relatives and friends, and some even have regained their courage to fight.

But I've never seen anyone like the male wizard in front of me, who can still show such a brisk smile.

"I'm an alchemist," Maca said, standing still in front of Neville, spreading her hands, "Mr. McLean has approached me and asked me to modify the alchemy array underneath this statue. ”

As he said this, he pointed his finger under the mercury statue in the middle of the square.

"Modify ...... Alchemy Array? ”

Neville didn't know about it, and he didn't even know that the wonderful-looking mercury statue behind him was essentially the product of alchemy.

But, of course, Maca was clearly not speaking to Neville.

"That's right," he nodded, then looked back at Luna, who was standing behind Neville, "Just now, the news that Spiral Town has a second layer of magic shield has reached the front line, and Mr. McLean is happy to learn about it. It's just that, since that's the case, the following control formation should be revised. ”

In the last time rewind, the reason why Luna failed to escape from Helbo's clutches was actually because of the lack of more than ten seconds.

If she can get out of the town before they break into the secret passage, she will be able to escape to the new shelter, and Maca will be able to erase any traces of her remains.

Unfortunately, even if Maca understood this, he would not have been able to revise the previous failed plan and repeat it. Because the moment he witnessed "that" Luna die, the rules of time had already put the shackles on that ending, and he could never untie it again.

Therefore, even if Maca still clearly remembered that Luna had to support two layers of magic shields and slightly delayed the opening of the secret passage for the evacuees, he could not have started to change from this "mistake".

What has "happened" cannot be changed.

"Miss Lovegood?"

Seeing that Luna didn't speak, Maka just stared at her with some curiosity, and couldn't help but call her again.

But seriously, he wasn't sure if Luna had sensed anything in him.

"Huh?" Luna listened to him call herself, and then she came back to her senses and blinked, "What? Oh...... You're going down to tinker with the formation there? ”

As she spoke, she glanced back and forth between the mercury statue and the maca a few times, not knowing what she was comparing, but then she nodded again and said:

"Okay! I'll open it for you—"
