Chapter 1239: For the sake of my father
The girl in the room seemed to fall silent again.
Seeing this, Maca could only suppress the idea of continuing to urge for the time being, and turned around and went back to the stairs Since Delphi needs a little space, it is better to give her a little more space, anyway, Maca still has to go and talk to Harry and them.
But before he could take a few more steps, he heard the creak of the door being opened behind him, and Delphi finally came out.
Sure enough, as soon as Maka turned around, she immediately saw that she had come to the corridor, and there was some complicated emotion in her eyes when she looked at her.
"Daddy...... Please come in! ”
With that, Delphi went back to the room, and when Maca saw it, she could only follow her.
"Delphi."
Looking at the girl who sat back on the edge of the bed with the silver cup in her hand, Maca didn't know what to say at this time. So after thinking about it, he said slowly:
"What exactly is the difficulty? If you feel uncomfortable, why don't you just tell me! You see, I'm not...... Well, isn't it 'Daddy'? What are the worries you can't talk to your father? ”
However, Delphi just shook his head, holding the cup and lowering his head.
After waiting patiently for a few more moments, to give her a little more time, Maca walked up to her and crouched down, looked at her face and whispered to her.
"Delphi?"
"No," the girl was still shaking her head, "I can't tell my dad about it...... And don't be so gentle with me anymore, because if you knew the truth, you wouldn't be ......."
It can be seen that Delphi is very embarrassed at the moment, and it seems that something is constantly bothering her.
At the end, I saw her bite her lower lip and whispered:
"Anyway...... I'm sorry Dad, I can't give you back the time converter. ”
Hearing this, Maca was stunned, and couldn't help but immediately speak:
"Why?"
When Delphi saw him ask, he looked at him earnestly and said after a few seconds:
"You should know the reason, don't you? You even know better than I do...... You've just kept it a secret from anyone and never talked to anyone. ”
"Huh?"
When Maca heard this, she couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and then said a little dumbly:
"You mean to ...... Is that the sequelae of forcibly violating the rules and exceeding the retrospective time? ”
Due to the dual limitations of the time rules and the time turner itself, the maximum spanning time of time travel is about five hours. Beyond this time, there will be unforeseen and serious harm to both the traveler and the time itself.
The last time she used the time turner, Maca didn't break the five-hour rule at first, after all, it was the result of many wizards experimenting with their own lives.
However, with just five hours and the many constraints of time travel, the chances of changing some of the decisions are slim to none. So later, Maca had to reuse the time turner a lot to do research calculations, and finally reluctantly found a way to break through the five-hour limit to change the facts.
In the end, he deceived himself, others, and even the whole world, and captured the silver lining that belonged to all the members of Hogwarts.
But it was clear that he still hadn't been able to fool the almost strict rules of time.
Excessive time travel had taken a toll on his body, as evidenced by his incessant coughing and sudden coma upon his return.
But he didn't tell anyone that it was a permanent injury. Barring no accidents, even if he never uses the time turner again, the damage will follow him for the rest of his life.
But fortunately, a certain degree of organ damage is not too much trouble for a good potions master. As long as he continued to take potions for a long time, at least the damage would not worsen and would not have an undue effect on his health.
It didn't take long for his cough to disappear after he developed a targeted potion and started taking it regularly. No one, even himself, cared about this innocuous little thing anymore.
However, in order to prevent the injury from getting worse, this is naturally based on the premise that he will never use the time converter. If he dared to time travel again, even if it was no more than the limit of five hours, it would probably continue to cause damage to his body.
And if the limit is exceeded again, deepening the damage is almost a consequence.
These thoughts flashed through Maca's mind, but then, he slowly shook his head and smiled at Delphi with a relaxed smile.
"Yes, I know very well that I still have to do what I have to do, don't I?" He said, "Just like you, Delphi...... You have spanned more than ten years at a time, just to prevent the beginning of this disaster, and I am sure that if it were you, you would be able to understand my feelings. ”
"Understood?"
Delphi pursed her lips, still keeping her head down, and said softly as if talking to herself:
"Yes, I can understand Dad's feelings...... And I know very well that it's very, very difficult to stop you. Because you have always been so determined and tenacious...... and stubbornness! ”
"Yes! Since you can understand, then"
"No way!" Delphi immediately interrupted, "Maybe Dad doesn't know me very well, but I'm just as stubborn as you. Not to mention ......"
Just as she had stopped talking before, she didn't finish her sentence. When Maca saw her and stopped talking, she couldn't help but be a little puzzled, but she still changed her words:
"Delphi, I know, you must be stopping me for my own good. Yes, I can feel that you care about me, and I'm glad to see you now......"
"But no matter how dangerous it was, there were some things I had to do. Not to mention, isn't there still you? Tell me what will happen if I do that, and what the consequences will be, and then we'll figure out how to overcome that problem."
"No way!"
Delphi listened, suddenly put the silver cup in his hand aside, and then grabbed Maca's arm tightly.
"Dad, I can't help it...... The rules of time cannot be deceived. She looked at Maca, frowned slightly, and tried to emphasize, "Dad, you know what? In fact, even if I don't tell you what will happen, you can figure it out for yourself tonight, can you? My plan could already be said to have failed completely, the second I was discovered by Helpo, it was a complete failure! ”
"After that, you can actually predict for yourself all the events that you may need to travel beyond the limit, including what exactly Helbo will do with the Demon Summoning Technique...... Even if I don't tell you, you'll rely on your own wisdom to guess it out one by one. ”
"Yes, Dad...... I really think you're amazing, and I've always regarded me as your child the proudest thing in my life. Even after I learned that my real father was Tom Riddle, I always felt that way in my heart. ”
"But...... No matter how clever you are, even if you know for sure that you're going to be seriously hurt, you end up using the Time Turner. ”
With that, Delphi let go of Maca's arms and sat back at the end of the bed.
"You're really good...... Originally, you had already calculated that you would most likely never go back, but you came back in the end. I heard from Miss Granger...... She said that just a few minutes after you used the time turner, you appeared in front of everyone with another injury, laughing that you had found an opportunity and were 'lucky' to save a little life......"
When Maca heard this, she only frowned slightly, but hurriedly asked:
"That'...... What about Luna? ”
This time, Delphi didn't answer.
Seeing her fall silent, Maca's face changed again, and then she couldn't help but slowly close her mouth.
After nearly a minute of silence, Delphi continued:
"After that, you spent a long time with Mr. Snape in therapy. In the end, although the injury was barely suppressed, it also left extremely serious sequelae...... But even then, you immediately stood in front of everyone as soon as you were able to move, and organized the remaining resisters to establish a resistance base. ”
"As for what happened after that, I said it last time, so I won't repeat it......" she paused, "All in all, I just want to tell you what you should try, what you should study, you have already done it yourself, but that only proves that all efforts are useless!" ”
"Not only did you not save Miss Lovegood, but you almost ...... No, not a handicap...... I think you're killing yourself! ”
I remember that Delphi said before that in the end, Maca should have gone to Helbo for a decisive battle, but no miracle happened in the end.
Well, maybe if he hadn't been so badly hurt by time travel, he would have been more likely to defeat Helbo? Who knows?
But the question is, is it possible for Maca to give up the chance to save Luna?
No, it can't be.
Maca shook her head, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh These words from Delphi's mouth did make him feel extremely concerned. Delphi is genuinely concerned about his safety, and even failing to defeat Helmpo seems to be a very minor matter.
It can be seen that at that time Delphi said that she came to this era "for the sake of her father", and that was serious.
