Chapter 1444: A Short Narrative in the Dark
"Come to the central square, remember not to alarm everyone, you can just come alone."
The moment Delphi opened the window and let the little icebird fly into the house, she saw the icebird burst out, and the fine ice chips turned into a line of crystal clear text.
The sentence that hung in front of him quickly scattered to the ground, melted into a small puddle of water, and then evaporated on its own. During this time, Delphi, who had been eager to see Maca, immediately hid his figure and climbed onto the windowsill, and then jumped up into the night sky outside.
In a short time, she flew easily over the small half of the town, and landed straight near the mercury statue in the square.
Although there are a lot of street lamps around here, they are not very bright, so that the square is somewhat dim at the moment.
"What about people...... Father? ”
Just as Delphi was a little confused about where Maca was, he took two random steps, and soon he saw the vertical hole on the other side of the statue.
When she saw it, she couldn't help but go over and look down, but there was almost nothing to see in the darkness below, so that she was not sure how deep it was.
And at that moment, Maca's voice suddenly came from underneath.
"Coming? Come down...... It's not that deep, it's just a little dark! ”
If you look down from above, it will naturally be pitch black; But if he looked down at the entrance of the cave, he could see Delphi's probe clearly.
On the ground, Delphi heard Maca shouting from below, and Delphi immediately jumped and fell like a catkins under the control of the levitation charm.
"Oh, it's really dark...... Daddy, don't you need some light? ”
As soon as he went down, Delphi noticed that it was really dark underneath, so black that he couldn't see anything, not even his own hands.
She thought that there might be something strange down there that she hadn't noticed yet, so instead of casting a spell to illuminate it, she chose to ask Maca first.
After all, if magic could be illuminated, wouldn't Maca have come by herself?
But who knew that Maca, who was probably standing next to her, said casually:
"You can try."
"Huh?"
When Delphi heard this, she raised her wand and shook it slightly, and a little light suddenly lit up from the tip of her wand. Soon, however, she discovered that even though she continued to output her magical power, the light was fading faster and extinguishing again in a short time.
From beginning to end, Delphi's light lit up for about three seconds at most, and she didn't even have time to take a closer look at the environment she was in.
"If you don't see it clearly, then increase the intensity a few more times...... There should be a small glittering stone cave underneath, and until all the ore around this stone chamber has absorbed enough light, don't even think of lighting it here! However, the furnishings here are not complicated, and you can probably move around as you please. ”
After hearing Maca say this, a slight sound of footsteps sounded, and he seemed to begin to walk slowly according to his memory.
"Oh yes, you don't have to waste your magic here, I can do it myself." While groping around in the dark Middle East, Maca said casually, "I called you here this time mainly to ...... I think you know about the meteorite fall. ”
"Uh, yes...... It's not long. ”
Delphi responded softly, and then shook his wand again, relighting the surroundings for a moment.
When people are in the dark, there is always some uneasiness, and even if you can't keep the light on for a long time, at least you need to see the situation around you clearly.
This time, Delphi increased the strength of the glowing charm to the limit of the spell as much as possible, but it still couldn't match the speed at which the large number of glowstone mines around him could absorb the light.
As soon as she had a rough view of the small rectangular stone chamber and several stone pillars standing in front of it, the light on the tip of her staff went out again.
Well, what characters seem to be carved on the surface of those stone pillars? Looks like...... It seemed to be some alchemy symbol, and she didn't have time to see it clearly.
Of course, as Maca said before, he obviously didn't need Delphi to see it clearly.
Soon, Delphi saw that he had just returned to the dark stone chamber because the glowing spell had been extinguished, and suddenly several unknown lights flashed.
It must have come from the stone pillars she had seen earlier.
Then, Taka continued:
"That's right, it's coming soon...... So, you know, I'll have to go there then. It certainly won't take much time, but"
At this point, the dark stone chamber lit up again, accompanied by a few symbols that flashed in the center of the stone chamber.
Maka stood beside the stone pillar, put one hand on it, paused for a moment, and then continued:
"The latest news from Sirius just now says that the 'resurrected dead' who used to hang around London are suddenly extinct. Well...... To be honest, I had a bad feeling that the meteorite would eventually fall on Hogwarts, or it could be a direct result of the Helmo guy. ”
Maca's words made Delphi uneasy the more she listened to it, the more uneasy she became, whether the so-called "Night of the Living Dead" in her memory was true? Isn't that the false memory that Maca instilled in her?
"Daddy......" Delphi couldn't help but say, "Do you remember those memories you sent me through the time turner?" ”
"Well, of course, what's wrong?"
"Do you remember that there was an event in those memories called 'Night of the Living Dead'?"
"Sorry, isn't that a bit weird? Actually, it was the name of a horror movie in the Muggle world, and I used it casually...... Oh, are these recent events that make you feel a little confused about memory and reality? ”
Marca's answer, even if it made the confusion hanging high in Delphi's heart fall to the ground at onceYes, Dad knows those things, so it's all fake!
She...... It doesn't seem to be so worrying anymore.
"I'm sorry, Dad...... Why do I doubt you? I really shouldn't."
"No, no, it's fine, it's normal. If you have any doubts in the future, tell me as soon as possible, don't hide yourself in your heart and think about it alone," Maka said, "No matter how busy you are, there is still time to listen to you say a few words." ”
Before the words fell, a few more flashes of light flashed in the stone room. Just when Delphi thought they would be extinguished as quickly as before, she suddenly noticed a large amount of light shining through the hole above her head.
For a moment, it was like daylight on the ground.
"Let's go, go up and have a look!" Makaden said.
