As for Maca's third trip back in time, anyone who could watch from the sidelines would have been puzzled by his inexplicable itinerary.

Because from beginning to end, except for going to the square halfway to modify the alchemy array under the mercury statue, the others were almost just waiting, waiting, and waiting again.

Then, Luna appeared.

In fact, the only "serious thing" he did was to add an additional teleportation array under the mercury statue, and use Transfiguration to create a "fake Luna" that could only speak a few fixed words and act in a fixed pattern at best.

It's just that it doesn't seem surprising that his actions are simple, and even seem rather clumsy in some places.

Just like the "fake Luna", it is much more rudimentary than the last time she hid in the mercury statue and used it to take Helbo's punch on Luna's behalf.

After all, at least the "Luna" disguised as a living corpse not only used Transfiguration to disguise her appearance, but the adjustment of the mana fluctuations in her body took a lot of effort from Maca, so that Helbo was slightly blinded for a moment.

However, it was such a crude operation, coupled with hours of waiting, that he "stole" Luna out of the intricate battle.

Yes, as mentioned before, what Maca did in these three backtracks was to save people. Now that Delphi has been saved, his target is only Luna.

Since she failed to save Luna in a more conventional way twice in a row, causing Luna to die at Helbo's men every time, Maca naturally had to think of a more thorough way to save people, which was to simply pluck Luna out of the mess of flowers.

As long as she didn't have to actually appear in Helbo's sight, wouldn't she die at the hands of the other party?

But in fact, even Maca herself didn't expect that this method, which was originally only used as a "backup plan", would really succeed!

"Luna, come and sit down! I don't think there will be a safer place to be, at least for a short time...... Also, I need to take a little more rest. ”

By the campfire on the beach, Maca said as she gently sat down on a beach chair next to her, and then sighed slowly.

His trip seemed effortless, but it wasn't easy at all. And this matter may have to start from a point in time when he last went back in time.

……

"Miss Lovegood, open the secret passage! Everyone has arrived. ”

"Lupin, did you say anything earlier? I'm a little busy right now......"

Just as all the evacuees were gathered in the center and prepared to start withdrawing from Spiral Town through the secret passage according to Maca's arrangement, Luna was slightly delayed due to the need to support two layers of magic shields.

And soon, when the first shield was shattered by Helpo's punch from the outside......

"Alright! Luna, what did you just say? Can you say that again? ”

"I mean, open the secret passage!"

"Sure, that's fine, but I think you'll have to take a little back."

Since Luna had to maintain the magic shield until the second layer was breached, she would have to stay in the Mercury Statue until then. After the second shield was broken, the series of battles between Maca, Harry, and Helmo over the town didn't take much time.

So it has to be said that when Maca saw that the evacuation operation was a bit hasty and unprepared, causing the evacuees to enter the secret passage to be somewhat delayed, he already realized that Luna might not be in time.

Maca is undoubtedly a cautious person, and he is often accustomed to thinking about failure first, and leaving a trail or two for himself to retreat from before he lives.

It's just that among the evacuees who were waiting to retreat into the underground secret passage at that time, Maca found another bigger problem after thinking about it a little more!

That's ...... If his attempt to save Luna fails this time, then it will be more difficult for him to conceive a third rescue plan.

Or rather, every time he fails in this mess, things become more complicated, and the difficulty of his "hands" on it becomes more difficult.

After all, his actions again and again are actually equivalent to adding an unchangeable "fact" during this time, in other words, he is cocooning himself.

This is undoubtedly a very bad thing for Maca, who is trying to fix the past and save Luna and Delphi by going back in a short time.

Therefore, while fearing that she might not be able to save Luna, Maca, who was in the middle of a second time rewind, insisted on coming up with a remedy that might be able to be saved and turn the failure into part of the plan.

"Click, bang!"

Just as Maca came up with a new plan, the second layer of magic shield was finally breached by a large crowd of living corpses. Countless living corpses poured in from all sides of the town, and Maca and Helbo rushed in from the outside.

After a struggle of wisdom and strength, Maca and Harry actually injured Helbo's seemingly indestructible demonic body, which made Maca, who planned all this, look extremely dazzling at that time.

But at the same time, another maca, who was waiting for the last few evacuees to enter the secret passage, was inconspicuous in the crowd.

I saw him occasionally glance back as he walked, turning a few steps of the plan he had just come up with upside down in his head and constantly examining and calculating.

After pondering for a while, he finally felt that there should be nothing wrong, so he hurried to the side of the mercury statue.

"Who? Oh...... Don't, don't come in...... Yes! Who's pulling my hair? ”

Not everyone can get in, but that obviously doesn't stop Maca from doing something.

"Miss Lovegood, Mr. Mellean asked me to come over, and he wanted me to go to the control chamber to see if it could be repaired after the shield was all broken."

Because there were still evacuees, Maca didn't speak loudly, so as not to slow down the retreat any longer.

"Huh?" In the statue, Luna muttered in a small voice, as if in confusion, "Go in there again?" ”

Although she was obviously a little confused, the two layers of shields had been broken now, and naturally there was no need to prevent people from entering.

Soon, Luna was heard to speak:

"Okay, you let it go! I'll open ...... for you."
