Chapter 1239 For Father
The girl in the room seemed to have fallen silent again.
Seeing this, Maca could only put down the idea of urging her for the time being, and turned around to go back to the stairs. Since Delphi needs a little space, why not give her a little more space, anyway, Maca still has to go talk to Harry and the others. Two sentences.
But before he could take a few more steps, he heard the creaking sound of the door being opened behind him, and Delphi finally came out.
Sure enough, when Maka turned her head, she immediately saw that she had come to the corridor, and there was some kind of complicated emotion hidden in her eyes looking here.
"Dad... please come in!"
After all, Delphi went back into the room, and Maca saw it, and could only follow in together.
"Delphi."
Looking at the girl who picked up the silver cup and sat back on the edge of the bed, Maca didn't know what to say at this moment. So after thinking about it, he said slowly:
"What difficulties did you encounter? If you feel uncomfortable in your heart, why don't you just tell me! Look, I'm not... well, am I not 'Dad'? Is there any trouble that I can't talk to Dad?"
However, Delphi just shook his head, holding the cup and hanging his head lower.
After waiting patiently for a while, giving her some more time, Maca walked up to her and knelt down, looked at her face and called her softly.
"Delphi?"
"No," the girl was still shaking her head, "I can't tell Dad about this matter... And, don't be so gentle with me anymore, because if you know the truth, you definitely won't..."
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 biting her lower lip, and said in a low voice:
"Anyway... I'm sorry, Dad, but I can't give you the Time-Turner back."
Maca was taken aback when he heard the words, and couldn't help but immediately said:
"why?"
Seeing him asking this question, Delphi looked at him seriously,
After a few seconds, he said:
"You should know the reason, don't you? You even know better than me... You just kept hiding it from others and never told anyone about it."
"Ok?"
After Maca heard it, he couldn't help hesitating for a moment, and then said a little dumbly:
"Are you trying to say... the aftereffects 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 span of time travel is about five hours. If this time is exceeded, there will be serious unforeseen dangers to both the traveler and time itself.
When using the Time Converter last time, Maca didn't violate the five-hour rule limit at the beginning. After all, this was the result of experiments by many wizards with their own lives.
However, in just five hours, coupled with the many constraints of time travel, the possibility of changing some decision-making conditions can be said to be slim. So later, Maca also had to repeatedly use the time converter to conduct research and calculations, and finally found a method that could break through the five-hour limit to change the facts.
In the end, he deceived himself, others, and even the whole world, and seized the chance of life that belonged to all members of Hogwarts.
But obviously, he still failed to cheat the almost strict time rules.
Excessive time travel had caused certain damage to his body, as evidenced by his persistent coughing and sudden coma after returning.
However, he didn't tell anyone that it was actually a permanent injury. If there is no accident, even if he never uses the time-turner again, that kind of injury will follow him for the rest of his life.
But fortunately, a certain degree of organ damage is not too much trouble for an excellent potion master. As long as he takes the potion continuously for a long time, at least the damage won't get worse, and it won't have too much impact on his health.
Not long after, after developing a targeted potion and starting to take it regularly, his coughing symptoms disappeared. Everyone, including himself, didn't care about this innocuous little matter anymore.
However, to keep the injury from getting worse, this is naturally based on the premise that he will never use the Time Converter. If he dares to time travel again, even if it is within five hours, it may continue to cause damage to his body.
And in case the limit is exceeded again, deepening the damage has almost become an inevitable result.
These thoughts flashed through Maca's mind, but immediately, he shook his head slowly, showing a relaxed smile at Delphi.
"Yes, I know very well that what should be done must be done, don't you?" The beginning of this disaster, I believe that if it is you, you will understand my feelings."
"understand?"
Delphi pursed her lips, still lowered her head, and said softly as if talking to herself:
"Yes, I can understand Dad's mood...and I know very well that it is very, very difficult to stop you. Because you have always been so firm, tenacious...and stubborn!"
"Yes! Now that you understand, then"
"No!" Delphi immediately interrupted, "Maybe Dad doesn't know me very well, but I'm also very stubborn like you. What's more..."
Just like she hesitated to speak before, she didn't finish her sentence. Seeing that she stopped talking, Maca couldn't help being a little puzzled, but she changed the subject:
"Delphie, I know that you must stop me for my own good. That's right, I can feel your concern for me, and I'm also very happy to see you who have grown up now..."
"However, no matter how dangerous it is, there are some things I have to do. Not to mention, isn't there you? You come and tell me, what will happen after I do that, and what will specifically cause What kind of consequences, and then we will work together to study how to overcome that problem."
"No way!"
Delphi listened, and suddenly put the silver cup in his hand aside, and then tightly grasped Maca's arm.
"Father, there is no way...the time rule cannot be deceived." She looked at Maca, frowned slightly and tried to emphasize, "Dad, do you know? Actually, even if I don't tell you what will happen, Can you also figure it out for yourself tonight? It can be said that my plan has completely failed, and it has completely failed from the second I was discovered by Hai Erbo!"
"After that, you can actually predict all the developments by yourself, including the time travel that you may need to exceed the limit, and what Hai Erbo will use the demon summoning technique to do... Even if I didn't tell you, you would They will also rely on their own wisdom to figure it out piece by piece.”
"Yes, Dad... I really think you are very powerful. I have always regarded being your child as the proudest thing in my life. Even after I know that my real father is Tom Riddle , I’ve always felt that way in my heart.”
"But... no matter how smart you are, even if you already know that you will be seriously injured, you still use the Time-Turner in the end."
Having said that, Delphi let go of Maca's arms, and plopped back to the end of the bed.
"You are really amazing... You had already calculated clearly and realized that you might never come back, but you came back in the end. I heard from Miss Granger... She said, just now A few minutes after you used the time-turner, you appeared in front of everyone with injuries all over your body, and said with a smile that you found an opportunity impromptu, and you were 'lucky' to save your own life..."
When Maca heard this, she only frowned slightly, but asked hastily:
"What about... Luna?"
This time, Delphi didn't answer.
Seeing her falling into silence, Maca's face changed again, and then she couldn't help closing her mouth slowly.
After nearly a minute of silence, Delphi continued:
"After that, you and Mr. Snape spent a long time in treatment. Although the injury was barely suppressed in the end, it also left extremely serious sequelae... But even then, you still After being able to move, he immediately stood in front of everyone and organized the remaining resisters to establish a rebel base."
"As for what happened after that, I have already said it last time, so I won't repeat it..." She paused, "In short, I just want to tell you what you should try and study. I did it myself, but it just proves that all efforts are useless!"
"Not only did you fail to save Miss Lovegood, but you almost... no, not almost... I think you just killed yourself!"
I remember that Delphi said before that Maca should have gone to Haierbo for a decisive battle in the end, but no miracle happened in the end.
Well, maybe if he hadn't been so seriously injured by time travel, the possibility of defeating Haierpo would be greater, right? Who knows?
But the question is, may Maca give up the chance to save Luna?
No, impossible.
Maca shook his head, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh. These words from Delphi's mouth really made him feel extremely concerned. Delphi was really concerned about his safety, and even whether he could defeat Hai Erbo seemed to be a very secondary matter.
It can be seen that when Delphi said that her purpose of coming to this era was "for her father", she was serious.
