Chapter 1445: Both

Overnight, the pitch-black sky was lit up twice in a row.

If it is put in the past, this is naturally an abominable act that disturbs people's dreams. But now in this spiral town, where can the vast majority of the newly moved evacuees fall asleep so easily?

Ever since the night when London was shrouded in fog, everyone has lived in unrest. At night, the first thing that comes to the minds of the evacuees is no longer the beauty of sleeping peacefully, but the fear that no one knows when the attack will come.

When the light that shines through the town like an extraordinarily bright moonlight, it will make people surprise and give birth to a sense of peace of mind that the darkness has been dispelled.

This second time, in particular, is different from the previous "self-amusement" of Luna after entering the statue. After Maca's manipulation in the darkness underground, he had already skipped the mercury statue's control and directly activated Spiraltown's most powerful protective magic.

It was a large, translucent shroud with a faint silver glow. Just by looking up, it was easy to see that the shield was like a large bowl on top of the town, completely separating the town from the outside of the town.

The evacuees who had seen Luna's ball of light before poked their heads out of the windows again. If you look closely, you can see that the most common expression on those faces is a smile of relief.

But at this moment, Delphi, who had just returned to the ground with Maca, looked at it with her neck tilted for a while, and there was a trace of worry in her eyes.

"Daddy, this protective charm...... I'm afraid the intensity is not enough, right? ”

"yes!" Maca also raised her head, and said as she watched, "Helmo himself won't say anything about it, and now if he comes here to attack here in person, it will definitely be useless with any protective charm." But even if it's just him sending his men to attack ......"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but shake his head, and then subconsciously turned to say:

“…… Then again, the people who built this town and set this protective spell back then were not the enemies they guarded against at all. So, this barrier may be able to protect against Voldemort and Death Eater."

Before she could finish speaking, Maca suddenly realized that she didn't seem to be mentioning the name "Voldemort" in front of Delphi.

But when Delphi saw him stop, she turned around and smiled calmly at him.

"It's alright, Daddy...... For me in the past, the real background doesn't matter anymore, let alone the present...... Isn't it? ”

To be honest, at this moment, Maca actually saw a little unnaturalness in her expression. However, he didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded at her.

"Anyway," Maca quickly continued, "I'm going to find a way to transform the following things, including the half on charms and ancient magic, and the half on alchemy. ”

Even though he wasn't good at the latter, he was able to find someone who was good at it very quickly, which was obviously not a problem for him.

"But until then......"

After a moment's pause, he beckoned to Delphi, then walked straight to the pedestal at the foot of the statue and sat down.

"We still have to pick up the unfinished topic and move on."

When Delphi heard this, he couldn't help but think about it for a moment, and then he seemed to say a little abruptly:

"Is it a meteorite?"

Just now, because of her panic from memory, she interrupted Maca's words coldly, but since Maca specially called her over, she naturally wouldn't forget the most important thing in a blink of an eye.

But without waiting for Maca to answer, she immediately took the lead as if she was asking herself:

"Do you need me to stay here and guard this town for you while Dad rushes to Hogwarts to solve the meteorite problem?"

"Well," Maca nodded slowly, "so to speak. It's just that...... Of course, your own safety is also very important, don't force it, if Helmo appears outside in person, all you have to do is secretly withdraw from Spiral Town with Hermione, Luna and others, you should know who it is. ”

After a moment's pause, Maca went further:

"I'll show you a few secret passages for evacuation in a moment...... Remember, this is a decision I made for you and for you, so don't be burdened. ”

When he said these words, his expression became very serious. Especially the tone of the last sentence, the heaviness contained in it is almost easy to hear Delphi.

After all, it was almost a declaration of abandonment of the vast majority of asylum seekers. It can be said that the vast majority of people will be in a dilemma when faced with this choice.

Sometimes, even if it is only the life and death of one life, this is enough to make many people very distressed, let alone the life and death of so many evacuees?

Maybe with Delphi's personality, this is not bad, if it were Hermione, she probably wouldn't be able to make this kind of decision in her life.

"I understand," Delphi couldn't help but be silent for a moment after listening to Maca's advice, and then bowed her head softly, "I'll do what Daddy says, I listen to Daddy." ”

"Thank you," Hearing her answer so firmly, Maca couldn't help but reach out and pat her on the shoulder, "Then please...... But by the way, you won't be alone in the burden of protecting this town. I'm afraid that even if I don't mention it, Hermione and the others will act on their own. ”

“…… But I thought, there's one person I have to talk to about. ”

At this point, Makafu stood up from the base of the statue, looked back at the lifelike mercury statue and said:

"Once I've improved all the defensive spells below, it's going to be this statue that turns them on and off. As far as I know, Luna is the only one in control of the statue...... In other words, if the need arises, she will be the centerpiece of the town's total defense. ”

"So," said Maca, shrugging her shoulders, "at least until you are forced to abandon it, you must protect this statue...... and her in the statue. ”

Seeing Maca say this, Delphi couldn't help but purse her lips, stared at Maca's face and whispered:

"Dad, I have a question for you, do you really want me to focus on protecting Miss Lovegood, is it really just because she will be the 'heart of total defense'? Or ......"

Maca looked at her faintly awkward expression, and had to shake her head helplessly.

"Hmm...... I know what you're trying to say, though...... It's both! ”

He replied calmly.
