Chapter 1085: I Can't Do It
"Marka, can you save Christine...... Please, save her! If she dies like this, what's the point of me living...... Maca? ”
Looking at Charles's eyes full of pleading, Maca knew that this was the state that this man had endured all the way to the current outburst.
In order to cling to Maca's glimmer of hope, he threw everything in his mind so that he could temporarily stop thinking about the reality that his wife was dead.
And now, Maca, who represents hope, has come to him, which makes the sorrow in his chest can no longer be suppressed, and it suddenly gushes out.
However, Maca shook her head in embarrassment.
Can someone who is already dead come back to life?
In some cases, the answer to this question can sometimes be yes.
Since people have different definitions of death, they can be divided into several types. For example, the heart stops beating, and the brain stops functioning, which was one of the criteria for Muggle and even wizards for a certain period of time.
As for Maca, his judgment of death is based on the state of the soul.
In fact, from the moment Christine's gaze met the basilisk's, her soul was destroyed under the rules of death.
That is, from that moment on, her death "began".
And once the rules of death are started, I am afraid that there is no possibility of reversing them except for the rules of time.
But the rule of time?
Thinking of this, Maca subconsciously turned her head and saw another figure coming this way-the trench coat wizard, didn't she come here to seek some "reversal" moment?
In order to save the whole of Hogwarts, he used the time turner to try again and again, and experienced hardships that ordinary people could not imagine.
And that was the only "variable" he had at that time.
Now, besides him, there is another space-timer here. In this situation where there are two "variables" at the same time, he simply cannot and does not dare to challenge the majesty of the rules of time.
Because he understands that he was just walking on thin ice at the beginning. If one is not careful, even he himself will be lost in the long river of time, and he will not know how he will die when the time comes.
As the saying goes, the more you know, the more you realize your ignorance. Even the study of second-level rule runes is still only a half-ass, where does he have the confidence to touch the rules of time at will?
It's just that at this moment, looking at Charles's pleading expression and Christine's lifeless face, Maca's heart is really uncomfortable.
As soon as he saw the couple, he remembered what it was like when the three of them played Trident Attack together. At that time, for him, an excellent newcomer, these two seniors really took care of him in every way.
From the usual training to the cooperation on the field, to the high-five celebration when winning. Without them, Hogwarts would not have been known as the "Scoring Maniac" that has survived to this day.
Truth be told, if it weren't for this friendship, Maca wouldn't have paid Galleons to fund them to open a potion shop after they graduated.
After a moment of silence, Maca could only close her eyes slightly and said softly:
"I'm sorry."
He couldn't look into Charles's eyes, because he knew that the chances of keeping Christine alive weren't really zero. But it's a pity that with his current ability, the chance of seizing that possibility is even more pitiful.
And if you can't catch it, no one knows what the consequences will be.
"I'm sorry ......"
Once again, Maca apologized, even if it was worthless for Christine's death.
"I can't do it."
It's not "I can't save her", but "I can't do it" - Maca stands in front of Charles, carrying the cruelty of reality and giving his chosen answer.
After all, at this point in time, there are still many things he needs to do.
“…… Maca. ”
Charles stared at him for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking. But in the end, he nodded weakly, and seemed to finally accept the fact that people cannot be resurrected after death.
Oh, yes! Even a great wizard like Dumbledore, now sealed in an ice coffin for people to admire, why did he think that Maca would be able to revive his wife who died in front of the basilisk?
What "death is nothing but another great adventure", Charles did not understand. At this moment, he only knows that people are incomparably small in the face of death, and no matter how powerful a person is, he can't shorten the distance between life and death.
The grief-stricken Charles paused on the spot, but had to let go of his grief over his wife's death again, and let the two children float in front of Maca.
"This girl is my cousin, and the other should be her classmate or friend......"
When Maca heard this, she opened her eyes and looked.
"Muggles?" As he spoke, he began to check the physical condition of the two children, "It looks like poisoning, but there are no wounds on the body...... Where did you find them? ”
While asking, he took out the potion from his waist and pulled out several bottles in a row.
"It's supposed to be a sewer," Charles forced himself to compose himself, but his voice was still shaking, "There's a basilisk, and Christine is ...... It's because it'......"
"yes, I see."
Maca could somewhat understand Charles's state of mind at this time, so he quickly interrupted him and didn't let him continue to speak so strongly.
"Sewer...... Is it gas? ”
There are many subtle differences between Muggles' bodies and wizards' bodies, but the overall difference is not huge, and with a little flexibility, Muggles can be healed with potions.
Of course, this will certainly have a lot of requirements for the healer.
After tossing and turning several potion bottles upside down for a while, two potions were poured into the mouths of each of the two children. It didn't take long for Candace and Kevin's faces to improve slightly.
"You can help me get these two children to the school hospital! They also need follow-up treatment...... Oh yes! They were all Muggles, so remember to remind Madam Pomfrey when the time comes. ”
After turning to the wizard of Fort Blois who was standing nearby, he didn't care whether they understood or not, so he handed the child directly to the other party - anyway, the one outside who knew English was also listening, so he didn't have to worry about it.
After this explanation, Maca turned back to Charles's side.
"The basilisk that can accommodate the Basilisk is London's sewer system, right?" He said, "You should take Christine to the castle first!" I'm going to go to London and see ......."
Even if he can't get Christine back to Charles, he can at least help the two of them get revenge. What's more, just the origin of that basilisk...... He knew it somewhat.
"I'll go too."
Coldly, the familiar hoarse voice rang out from behind, causing Maca's movements to pause slightly.
"Is that okay?"
"Well," Maca said without looking back, "come if you want!" ”
The next moment, Charles watched as the two walked out of the school gate one after the other, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye.
……
Not long along the banks of the River Thames.
The Thames was sparkling in the afternoon, and even though London was still gloomy at this time, it didn't rain. The roads on both sides of the river were filled with traffic, and there were many Muggles on the walking paths, each moving at different paces.
London, once the foggy capital of the city, is now a liveable city.
Originally, it was a good idea to take a walk here in this nice weather, but the things that had just happened made Maca not have the heart to enjoy the scenery by the river.
With a heavy heart, Maca and the trench-coated wizard walked along the river for a moment.
Speaking of which, the entrance to the sewers in London is actually not difficult to find. Soon, the two of them stepped into the dark and deep underground world together.
To be honest, as long as you know that the basilisk is hiding here, then it will be the difference between finding it sooner or later.
Once inside, Maca immediately released his eight-eyed spider and asked the little ones to find the basilisk for him.
After watching a large number of spiders crawl among themselves in the waterway, it took him and the wizard in the trench coat to follow suit, slowly moving deeper into the depths.
If he could detect the remaining traces of the basilisk's magic first, maybe he would have been able to find the big guy who was mutilating lives all over the world more quickly.
It's just that......
I remember that last time in France, Helpo was with the basilisk, and this time it is difficult to guarantee that the two are not in the same place. If Helbo is really here now, how to deal with him will be a difficult problem that will have to be faced.
There is no doubt that Helbo is becoming more and more difficult to deal with now, and it has been a while since the last time the two met, and Maca does not know what the current state of the other party is.
Of course, if it was just a head-to-head fight, he wouldn't have to worry about falling into disadvantage with the trench coat wizard. But now that London is above their heads, the presence of Muggles has become a shackle that is hard to ignore, and once the war starts, it will undoubtedly be on their side.
Maca pondered to herself as she walked with the trench-clad wizard step by step. As the two of them moved away from the entrance, the surroundings grew darker and darker, and by the time they had passed a corner, even the nearby walls of the waterway were submerged in shadow.
In this seemingly endless darkness, the two of them were not illuminated by any light, only the sound of two overlapping footsteps echoed in the sewers, especially clear because of the silence.
I don't know how long it took, but when the two of them walked in a rather wide passage, Maca suddenly stopped and tilted her head.
"Wait," he said, "two little ones are back, and I think...... They may have discovered something. ”
