Chapter 1285: Maca's Past and Present
"What's going on? The entrance can't be opened! ”
Right now, snowflakes are already floating outside the window. The sudden drop to below freezing made the already damp streets of London as cold as winter, and even the windows were covered with hoarfrost.
And this is just a sign of the presence of Dementors, which is obviously not a coincidence, that is, Maca, who was aware of Helbo's presence at the time, immediately prepared to cool the rule.
But immediately after, another scorching energy that was not lost to this cold at all suddenly rushed down from the air. The surging heat swept in, melting the frost marks on the windows in an instant, turning them into crystalline droplets of water and sliding silently.
"Stay behind me, don't move!"
"Boom"
A warning from the outside, followed by a series of explosions, followed by an astonishing shockwave. Then, the window glass outside the thick cloth curtain in front of him was shattered without any suspense.
Seeing the curtain bulge inside, and then the glass slag fell to the ground with a clatter, and Maca, who could no longer use magic at this time, had to frown slightly, and raised her foot to avoid a little.
At that time, the battle finally began.
Everything that happened after that was no different from what Maca knew. At the same time as he was fighting Helbo at that time, the black-eyed wizard soon appeared and participated in the battle.
Then, it was Helbo who used mirror magic combined with the inducement of magic fluctuations to deceive himself at the time, and almost held Hermione hostage.
Maca knew that from this point on, it would be the most critical period.
During this time, Helbo would take advantage of the kung fu to find a gap in Hermione, and with an extremely quick confrontation, Luna unexpectedly saved Hermione twice in a row.
But in the end, she herself ......
Maka, who still had a lot to confirm, finally quietly opened the curtain again. With no window glass and thick curtains fluttering in the wind, it was clear that no one would pay attention to his movements this time.
As soon as he lifted the curtains, he felt a chill on his cheeks as the cold snap was still raging outside.
He saw that the supporters brought by Akinbad had been taken refuge on the other side of the street because of the terrible battle between Maca and Helbo, for they knew very well that such a gap was a chasm that they could not fill with their lives;
He saw again that the black-eyed wizard with the spherical shield had been frozen in the middle of the street;
He also saw that Helmo was holding Luna as a shield, retreating and flying into the air, luring the other self to chase after him.
Then, Helmo teleported behind Hermione with Luna, leaving behind Luna, who seemed useless to him, and reached out to pat Hermione on the shoulder.
"You're not allowed to touch Hermione!"
The next moment, Luna, who should have been thrown aside, reacted in advance. This time, Maca naturally saw clearly that the blonde girl grabbed Helbo's arm, and then put her wand against the other party in the air, reciting the spell of the crushing spell.
It's a pity, where will Luna be Helbo's opponent?
At that moment, I saw Helbo wave his backhand again, and the invisible force swept heavily on her body, slapping her whole person horizontally.
Even though this was the second time she had witnessed this scene, Maca still couldn't help but clench the staff in her hand, as if she would not be able to resist the restlessness in her heart and launch an attack in the next second.
But he knew that he had to keep watching, and he must not act impulsively...... What's more, according to what Delphi confessed at that time, after that......
Maca didn't continue to pay attention to Helmo and Hermione's movements, because it was because she was so engrossed in each other that she missed some equally important details.
Yes, it was Delphi who stepped in and hugged Luna, who was shot out like a rag doll. At this time, he didn't realize that after catching Luna, Delphi made up for it without a trace.
Do you have to put Luna to death? Just to make sure he completely cuts off the idea of using a time turner?
Now, half lying in Delphi's arms, Luna with a dazed expression, Maca's heart tugged fiercely, Luna was able to magically anticipate Helbo's movements, but she didn't expect that she would die at the hands of this "good friend" in front of her.
This scene made Maca's mood extremely complicated.
He thought that although he couldn't say that he had forgiven Delphi, it would be difficult to find out whether the other party was right or wrong, because the girl's original intention was for him, the nominal "father".
But now, when Maca really saw what was happening below, and saw the confusion on Luna's face before she left, he realized that he probably couldn't forgive Delphi anyway.
Is it just for the sake of his safety that he can treat other people's lives as if they were nothing? No, this is absolutely wrong...... This is just nonsense!
The fact that he was here watching everything happen again proved that Delphi's obsession was obviously meaningless. And how can this behavior be interpreted in addition to the word "nonsense"?
"Since you've always been obsessed with calling me 'Daddy...... Then it seems that I can only take the place of Voldemort and take on this fatherly responsibility. ”
Maka, who had a full view of what was happening on the streets below, couldn't help but make up her mind from a different perspective again. He wants to be a father and save everything that shouldn't have happened for Delphi's daughter.
"Rest assured...... Maybe you can hear it. You know, I've always been good at potions...... I'll heal your wounds, rest assured......"
"yes, it's probably just a broken bone here...... It's okay, it's easy to fix. Well, you may need to replenish the blood, I have a lot of blood-growing agents......"
"Don't be afraid, no matter how many injuries you have, it's not a problem for me!"
Across the street, she was leaning over Luna, her useless treatment, regardless of her status. All kinds of potions were swaying as if they didn't want money, and the whispers in their mouths seemed to be talking to Luna, but they were also talking to themselves.
Naturally, the other maca, who was hiding behind a window in the building opposite, was naturally inaudible. But what he was doing at that time, what he was thinking at that time, he still remembered it vividly.
The words that should have been inaudible seemed to be close to his ears, and they kept echoing in his heart.
"Smack!"
Coldly, Delphi slapped himself heavily in the face at that time, and the hot feeling made Maca behind the curtain upstairs couldn't help but touch her cheek.
It was this slap that made him sober up in time.
Seriously, if he hadn't known that it was Delphi who really killed Luna, he would still be very grateful to this daughter who had an extra life out of thin air. Without that, he didn't know how long he would have lasted in that state of chaos.
"Speaking ......," Suddenly, Maca stared down the street below, and said in a slightly abrupt voice, "If it weren't for Delphi's nonsense, would I have chosen to go step by step so cautiously and rationally?" ”
As Delphi said, if it weren't for her intervention, Luna wouldn't have died, but she would have fallen into a prolonged coma, and Helpo's methods were not something anyone could easily follow.
And after that, in the chaos, he will probably be driven by the grief and anxiety in his heart, desperate to try to save Luna.
But there is no doubt that the rules of time can be dealt with by a confused fellow? It would already be a kind of luck to be able to return to everyone at the cost of serious injuries as Delphi said in the future.
Thinking of this, Maca suddenly glanced at the tip of the staff in her hand, and then silently exhaled the breath that had frozen in her chest.
The most critical scene has come to an end, so it seems that it is time for him to leave. Because he still has a lot of things to take time to study in the coming time, this is a plan he has made since before going back in time.
This time it was a long backtime, and he didn't want to waste a second until the hourglass of the time-turner stopped quicksand and the endless ticking in his ears stopped echoing.
……
“…… Yes, Mr. McLean later deceived the unscrupulous trafficker into an underground casino, and teamed up with a dealer there to deceive him, and even sold him to the docks as coolies to pay off his debts! Because of this, he also received some remuneration and got his first not-so-glamorous 'job'. ”
"What a 'not-so-glorious job', isn't that a lie to people to gamble! Well, but that's it, those who were deceived by him were definitely not good people anyway! ”
In St. Mungo's bathroom, as Delphi told her some of the stories her father had "had" told her, Hermione on the side unconsciously listened more and more engaged.
After a while, the two of them mixed some discussions between the non-stop narratives, and the originally stiff atmosphere gradually became harmonious.
After a pause, Delphi continued:
"Later, Mr. McLean became quite famous among a part of the crowd in Taymor Lane, and every now and then a client would find him through acquaintances and give him some messy tasks to do."
"Hmm...... I don't know exactly what the tasks are, but at least there are a few things I know. For example, someone asked him to help steal information, but after he got the documents, he instead made a copy of it and secretly sold it to the guy's enemies, and he got two honorariums......"
Hearing these stories, Hermione also grinned, I really didn't expect Maca to be such a messy guy in the past.
