Chapter 1275: Groping for the Rules
"Bill, Arthur and Molly are all in there to help house the evacuees! Go and see them! Ever since they came out looking for your twin brothers, they haven't been able to find a chance to go back...... Now that you're here, at least you can go and accompany them. ”
Behind the bar at the Leaky Cauldron, Lupin stopped what he was doing and spoke to Bill Weasley, who was walking through the doorway.
On the other hand, when Bill heard Lupin's words, he glared in surprise as he walked around the long table in the middle.
"Fred and George? What's wrong with them? ”
Obviously, Bill, who had just returned to London, was unaware of Fred and George's minor accident. Lupin, however, understood this, and listened to his question, and quickly explained:
In fact, when the fog first lifted, they happened to be in Diagon Alley with their new wife. Therefore, as soon as the fog was delayed, and as soon as the enemy came, they could not rush back in time...... Well, but don't worry, they'll be St. Mungo's going to be Saint Mungo, and the news came pretty quickly. ”
"Oh, I seem to have missed a lot of things," Bill said, and then he relaxed and leaned to the bar, "I know, I'll go over and see my mother in a moment...... But before I do that, I have to tell you something. ”
"It's Charlie's business, right?" When Lupin heard this, he immediately picked up a report and shook it a few times, "A target the size of a Norwegian spinal dragon, even if the city is full of fog now, there are always people who can see it, but I didn't expect that you just happened to be back!" ”
"That's right," Bill said, sitting down on a stool in front of the bar, "and I was startled when I saw Charlie appear on a dragon." Of course, there was another more important thing that Charlie and I had done together to borrow the Quidditch Museum to make a third refuge, so I was mainly here to borrow people's ...... this time."
Due to the scale of this scourge, it is indeed not enough to take two shelters. Not to mention that St. Mungo's side is already overcrowded, and even here in Diagon Alley, the pressure to receive evacuees is increasing.
After all, almost everyone in London is going to be in crisis this time. In the face of the formidable combat power of those intractable mad wizards and black pupil gatherers, ordinary wizards are not even much different from Muggle people, and anyway, it is indeed difficult for ordinary strength spells to pose any threat to those difficult enemies.
To be honest, thanks to Helmper, this is the first time that the vast majority of wizarding people feel that they are actually so "close" to Muggles!
And just as Lupin and Bill were seriously discussing the arrangements for the museum, on another high stool not far from the two, Maca, who was invisible, was also sitting there leaning against the bar.
In his hand, his staff, which was also invisible, reclined against him, and a stone ball with a faint red glow could only be seen by him.
That is, in the next moment, when they heard Bill and the others talk about Harry's proposal and the situation of Charlie and Harry's final team-up, Maca, who was invisible, suddenly shook her finger in the direction of the door.
Immediately afterward, Bill and Lupin heard a "fluttering" movement outside.
"Owls?"
"Well, there may be new news again."
As the two were talking, an Auror guard hurried in with a small note that hadn't been opened yet, and brought it to the bar.
"Remus, give!"
After handing the note to Lupin, the guard grabbed a handful of chocolate chips from the plate at the bar, waved his hand, and ran out again without looking back.
"These guys, knowing that they don't need money, will come and grab anyone who passes by!"
Lupin chuckled and grumbled as he unfolded the note and glanced at it, even though he shoved it to Bill on the other side.
"As it happens, it's about Harry and Charlie, look!" He said happily, "Don't worry, they will solve two more big troubles for everyone, and before Maca and Helbo officially start, this situation will have to be stabilized by the two of them!" ”
Obviously, though, Bill, like Charlie, finally agreed to Harry's offer. But in his heart, he was still very worried about the weirdness of the abilities of those black-pupil wizards, and he and Charlie had already experienced it firsthand.
And this time this time Maca deliberately sent this piece of information, which really relieved Bill, who was still worried, again.
"yes!" He carefully read the brief message on the note, then nodded, "This information is very important, when I go back to the museum in a while, I can bring it to everyone by the way in this depressing atmosphere at the moment, this will definitely lift everyone's spirits." ”
As Lupin in the bar agreed, Maca, who was not far away, glanced down at the staff, confirming that his actions had not caused any reaction from the stone ball above.
"Really?"
Seeing this, Maca couldn't help but understand.
There is no doubt that his small act just now also had an impact on the "facts". However, even if he didn't, the news would reach Lupin and Bill through the information of others.
While something has actually changed, the future will not change, which will not lead to the intervention and interference of the rules of time.
In fact, this is the same as when Maca deceived others and deceived herself, and finally quietly saved the lives of all the members of Hogwarts, but this time the scale involved has become very small.
However, this test is of great significance to Maca. Because he once again confirmed that the results he had researched without the stone ball as a reference were indeed correct.
Therefore, this tells him one more thing, the so-called "limit" that induces the constraints of the rules of time may not lie in how much a change affects the future, but only in how many changes are "witnessed".
For example, if Maca goes back in time and is confirmed to have two of them at the same time, then this contradiction is very likely to cause a revision of the rules of time; And if no one sees it, even if he blatantly stands back-to-back with his past self, all he needs to do is keep himself from being discovered by his other self.
Even as long as he can trick his past self into believing that he is not Marka McKellen, then the two identical him stand face to face, and this matter can be established.
"Therefore...... As long as the rules of time are strictly followed, then it can actually be extremely forgiving? ”
Maca sat on the barstool, gently stroking the staff in her hand, and pondering to herself.
Yes, he has already gained a lot of information from these tests, and he has gradually explored some possibilities of the rules of time.
But, after all, this is all just his conjecture.
In fact, he also knew in his heart that the depth of the third-level rules was definitely unimaginable to him at the moment. At the moment, there must be a fallacy in these things that I have speculated on, and it is estimated that they are just some furs about the rules of time.
If it were possible, he really wanted to talk to the "future self" who could force himself in front of him and talk to him...... You know, according to his current inference, that is a complete violation of the rules of time!
Thinking about Helbo's fact that in order to touch the "death rule", which also belongs to the third-level rule, he actually made such a big battle, which is enough to show how powerful the "future Macklean" who had not had time to say a few more words to himself was.
A ...... that can be corresponded to
Maca suddenly felt that she was becoming more and more unable to figure out the "suddenly selfish Dumbledore" What kind of road was the old man who was now walking on the boundary between life and death?
"That's the real genius......"
Pursing his lips secretly, Maca stopped thinking about it, after all, Dumbledore obviously had nothing to do with what was bothering him right now. What's more, by now, he has long given up complaining about the unscrupulous old man who threw a mess to himself.
Now, Maka, who had confirmed the results of another test, suddenly got off the barstool, maintained her stealth and walked straight to the door.
There was still a little more than half of the time left for his tests, and he wanted to use that time to do a longer experiment.
If he could get some good results out of this, then he probably wouldn't have to turn the time turner again and continue to do this kind of experiment, which was on the verge of danger.
You only have one life, no matter who you are. Even if someone can live forever, but those who die will definitely not survive, and it is estimated that even if Helbo masters the rules of death, he cannot be an exception.
“…… No, who knows? ”
Maca, who had just left the Leaky Cauldron Bar, couldn't help but shake her head slightly, and then walked towards the street step by step.
