Chapter 1285 Maca Past and Present
"What's going on? The entrance can't be opened!"
Right now, there are already snowflakes floating outside the window. The temperature suddenly dropped below the freezing point, making this corner of the damp London street as cold as winter, and even hoarfrost condensed on the window glass.
And this is just like a sign of dementors, obviously it is not a coincidence, it was Maca who noticed Hai Erbo's existence at that time and immediately prepared to cool down the power of rules.
But immediately after, another wave of scorching energy, which was not at all inferior to this icy cold, suddenly rushed down from the sky. The steaming heat swept over, instantly melting the frost marks that had just formed on the windows, turning them into little crystal drops of water that slid down silently.
"Stay behind me, don't move!"
"boom"
A warning from outside followed a series of explosions, and then an astonishing shock wave spread out. Then, the window glass outside the thick cloth curtain in front of him was shattered without any suspense.
Seeing that the curtains bulged inward, and then the glass shards fell to the ground, Maca, who could no longer use magic, could only frowned slightly, and raised her feet to avoid it a little.
The battle at that time had finally begun.
Everything that happened afterwards was no different from what Maca knew. At the same time that he and Haierbo were fighting, the black-eyed wizard also appeared soon and participated in the battle.
Then, it was the scene where Haierbo used mirror image magic combined with the induction of magic fluctuations to deceive himself at the time, and almost hijacked Hermione.
Maca knew that starting from here was the most critical period of time.
During this period of time, Haierbo would use his ramblings to find gaps to attack Hermione. Accompanied by an extremely rapid confrontation, Luna unexpectedly rescued Hermione twice in a row.
But in the end, she herself...
Maca, who still had a lot to confirm, finally opened the curtain quietly again. With no window glass and thick curtains blowing in the wind, it was obvious that no one would pay attention to his movements this time.
As soon as he opened the curtains, the still raging cold outside immediately made his cheeks feel cold.
He saw that the supporters brought by Akinbad were avoiding the other side of the street because of the terrible battle between Maca and Haierbo, because they knew very well that such a big gap was undoubtedly a gap that they could not even fill up with their lives. the gap;
He saw again,
The black-eyed wizard supporting the spherical shield has been frozen in the middle of the street;
He also saw that Hai Erbo was holding Luna as a shield, retreating and flying into the air, luring the self at that time to chase after him.
Then, Hai Erbo took Luna and moved behind Hermione in an instant, leaving Luna who was already useless in his eyes, and reached out to pat Hermione on the shoulder.
"You are 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 blond girl with fluttering hair grabbed Haierbo's arm, then pressed her wand against Haierbo's body in the air, and recited the Shattering Curse.
It's a pity, how could Luna be Hai Erbo's opponent?
At that moment, Hai Erbo waved his backhand again, and an invisible force swept across her body heavily, and shot her whole body horizontally.
Even though this was the second time to witness this scene, Maca still couldn't help but clenched the staff in his hand, as if he couldn't bear the restlessness in his heart and launched an attack in the next second.
But he knew that he had to continue watching, and he must not act impulsively... What's more, according to what Delphi said frankly at that time, after that...
Maca didn't continue to pay attention to Haierbo and Hermione's movements, because at that time, it was because he was engrossed in each other that he missed some equally important details.
Yes, it was Delphi who shot and hugged Luna who was shot flying like a rag doll. But at this time, I didn't realize that after catching Luna, Delphi made up without a trace.
As for having to put Luna to death? Just to make sure he never even wants to use a Time-Turner?
Now, for Luna, who was half lying in Delphi's arms, her expression frozen in a daze, Maca's heart twitched fiercely. He would die at the hands of this "good friend" in front of him.
This scene made Maca's mood extremely complicated.
He originally thought that although he could not be said to be the forgiving Delphi, it would be difficult to find out the other party's right or wrong, because the girl's original intention was for his nominal "father".
But now, when Maca really saw what happened below and saw the confusion on Luna's face before she left, he found that he probably couldn't forgive Delphi no matter what.
Is it okay to treat other people's lives as nothing just for his own safety? No, it's absolutely wrong...it's just nonsense!
Just the fact that he is here watching everything happen again proves that Delphi's obsession is obviously meaningless. And besides using the word "nonsense" to describe this behavior, how else can it be interpreted?
"Since you are always obsessed with calling me 'Dad'...then I can only take on the responsibility of being a father instead of Voldemort."
Maca, who had a panoramic view of what happened on the street below, couldn't help but made up his mind from another angle. He wants to take it as his father's responsibility to restore everything that shouldn't have happened to Delphi's daughter.
"Don't worry... Maybe you can still hear me. You know, I've always been good at Potions... I'll heal your wounds, don't worry..."
"Yes, it's probably just a broken bone here...it's okay, it can be repaired easily. Well, you may need to replenish blood, I have prepared a lot of blood-generating agents..."
"Don't be afraid, no matter how severe the injury is, it's nothing to me!"
Across the street, the self at that time was leaning over Luna, giving her useless treatment regardless of her status. All kinds of potions were swayed as if they didn't need money, and the whisper in his mouth seemed to be talking to Luna, but it seemed to be talking to himself.
From such a distance, the other Maca who was hiding behind a certain window in the opposite building naturally couldn't hear it. But what he was doing at that time, what he was thinking in his heart at that time, he still had a fresh memory.
Those words that should have been inaudible, seemed to be right next to his ears, constantly echoing in his heart.
"Snapped!"
Unexpectedly, Delphi slapped himself heavily on the face at that time, the hot feeling made Maca behind the curtain upstairs couldn't help but touch his cheek.
It was this slap that woke him up in time.
To be honest, if he didn't know that Delphi was the one who caused Luna's death, he would still be very grateful for this extra daughter who came out of nowhere. If it hadn't been for that moment, he didn't know how long he would have been in that chaotic state.
"Speaking of..." Suddenly, Maca stared at the street below, and said inwardly, "If it weren't for Delphi's nonsense, would I still choose to proceed step by step so cautiously and rationally?"
As Delphi said, without her intervention, Luna would certainly not die, but she would also fall into a long-term coma. Hai Erbo's method is not easy for everyone to follow.
And after that, he in the chaos would probably be driven by the grief and anxiety in his heart, desperately trying to save Luna.
But there is no doubt that the time rule is something that a guy with an unclear mind can handle? It is already a kind of luck to be able to return to everyone at the cost of serious injuries like the future that Delphi said.
Thinking of this, Maca glanced at the top of the staff in his hand, and then silently let out the stagnant breath in his chest.
The most critical scene has come to an end, so it seems that he should leave. Because in the next time, he still has a lot of things to spend time researching, this is the plan he has already made before going back in time.
This time the rewinding time was very long, and he didn't want to waste a second before the hourglass of the Time Turner stopped drifting sand and the endless ticking sound in his ears stopped echoing.
...
"...Yes, later on, Mr. McLean deceived that malicious human trafficker into an underground casino, and partnered with a banker there to deceive him completely. Even he was sold to the wharf as a coolie to pay off his debts! Because of this , he also received some remuneration and got his first not-so-glamorous 'job'."
"What's a 'not so honorable job'? Isn't that just deceiving people to gamble! Well, but that's fine, anyway, those who are deceived by him must not be good people!"
In St. Mungo's bathroom, as Delphi told some of the stories her father "once" told her one by one, Hermione on the side also unconsciously listened and became more involved.
Not long after, the two of them mixed some discussions into their non-stop narration, and the originally stiff atmosphere gradually became harmonious.
After a pause, Delphi continued to say:
"Later, Mr. McLean became well-known among some people in Taymore Lane. From time to time, clients would find him through acquaintances and entrust him with some messy tasks."
"Well... I'm not very clear about the specific tasks, but at least I know a few things. For example, someone asked him to help steal information, and after he got the documents, he Instead, he copied a copy, secretly sold it to that guy's enemy, and was rewarded twice by him..."
Hearing these stories, Hermione grinned. She really didn't expect Maca to be such a messy guy in the past.
