Chapter 1316 Deceiving the Future

It is impossible for Maca to save Luna without Delphi, who went back to this era from the future. On the other hand, if he wants to save Luna, it seems that he must bring the future Delphi back to the present.

These two upside-down sentences are precisely a way for Maca to realize how he should connect everything logically.

And in this plan, if the time converter is a "thread" that connects all events, then the name he inscribed on the edge of the time converter's golden ring is probably the last one he laid down. "Knot".

"Delphi, do you know? About half an hour ago, I just put this converter engraved with your name into the hands of 'you'..."

On the roof, Maca looked at the dazed Delphi who was staring down at the Time Converter, and said softly:

"That's right, it's you in this era who just turned one year old—to be honest, at that time, you seemed to really like this slightly late birthday present."

"But, it was given to me by Miss Cathy before she died—"

"Well, yes!" Maca nodded and said calmly, "For you now, this is the case. But in fact, I don't think Cathy is dead... Well, no, actually I don't know But I have to say, it was indeed left to you by me, and the engraved name is the best proof..."

"I carved it with my own hands when you were lying on the sofa unconscious."

Delphi stroked the letters on the edge of the golden ring, and the subtle touch made her feel even more stunned.

"sorry."

This is the third time Maca has said sorry to her.

"I left an oblivion spell on the notch of the time-turner and a false memory that I carefully crafted. Once the magic on the notch is activated, it will lead you to use the time-turner, actively Come before me."

"I'm sorry, but I don't want to either—but I have to do this if I want you to live."

Turning one's own expectations into reality, and even affecting someone in the future, is definitely something that can only be achieved by various coincidences. But under the constriction of time rules, it seems to be the only option to free Delphi from the fate of being wiped out.

Obviously, instead of saying that Maca "had come up with such a plan by himself", it might be more appropriate to say "it was the rules of time that forced him to take this path".

Perhaps, this is also one of the converging effects of the time rule?

"Dad, I would like to believe what you said, but..."

After hearing Maca's explanation, she felt that her hands were shaking slightly, and she couldn't stop.

"But," she said, "if what you say is true, doesn't that mean... everything I remember going through is actually false? I didn't hate you, and I didn't Loved you, let alone spent the hardest and most memorable time under your care, care and company?"

"That--"

Speaking of this, Delphi's voice was faintly crying.

"Then how did I get here in the past ten years?"

If one day, when you know that you have experienced untold hardships, you are suddenly told by someone you trust the most, saying that everything you have ever done is false.

So, will you suddenly have an uncontrollable fear?

What was your past like? What have you experienced, what have you had, and what have you lost? Even, who is he?

Was she really Delphi McLean? Or... maybe something went wrong and she's just someone else who got a Time-Turner by accident?

Delphi is undoubtedly smart, but because of this, she is more likely to fall into this state of self-cognition disorder.

However, Delphi's confusion had actually been experienced by Maca a long time ago.

When he came to this world, the feeling of waking up from a dream also made him fall into an endless loop of thinking. The self in the previous life, or the self in this life, which one is the real self? Which is just a dream.

Or, in fact, none of them are me?

Even in the first few years of his childhood, he thought he might be in a "lucid dream" so vivid that he nearly bit off a bit of his tongue in an attempt to return to reality.

Therefore, Maca, who had similar rich experience, suddenly opened his arms and hugged Delphi tightly in his arms.

"You are Delphi - 'Delphie Maclean', daughter of my Maca Maclean. Just remember that, nothing else matters...not to mention, if you really care, there are future Time for you to witness for yourself, no?"

It's not like himself, I'm afraid it will be impossible to confirm who he is in this life. And in his situation, all he can do is to completely forget those messy thoughts.

Therefore, he can always look forward, and never look back needlessly on the roads he has left behind.

Maca gently stroked Delphi's hair, as if comforting a frightened kitten, letting her calm down slowly in her arms.

At the same time, Maca himself was still thinking about the "future" scene that Delphi had narrated to him.

In fact, according to the timeline theory, the so-called "false memory" is very likely to be real. Just Maca's whole plan to make it an unreal future.

Yes, to this day, the stone ball at the top of Maca's staff has not been broken due to the intervention of time rules, and Haierbo's demon summoning ceremony has not been destroyed either!

If it continues like this, there may be some minor changes in the future, but I am afraid that there will not be much deviation in the general direction.

If he really wanted to make that terrible future completely impossible, then Maca had to stop Haierbo's plot and use it to jump to "another" branch line!

"Delphi, are you feeling better?"

Thinking about it, Maca pressed her shoulders and pushed her gently in front of him, and looked down at her face slightly. Seeing the crystal tears on the cheeks, Maca couldn't help wiping them for her.

"If you still feel uncomfortable, then beat me up!"

Maca doesn't know what the future will be like, but he will definitely treat his daughter who is one year older than him well. And this, perhaps, is also the source of the impression of the father who was "very good to himself" in Delphi's memory?

After all, when Maca created that memory, he really thought so in his heart. As for whether this is a kind of compensation or for other reasons, Maca himself is a little unclear.

"Well," Delphi blushed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed by his embarrassment just now, "I'm fine...then, can I still call you 'Daddy'?"

"Oh, of course!"

Maca patted her on the head, smiled and said:

"No matter what, you are my daughter—memory can be deceiving, but what you have learned cannot be deceiving! You can directly learn so many abilities."

While speaking, the giant ice crystal bird summoned by Delphi seemed to want to prove all this, and lowered its head to get closer to Delphi.

"Yes," Delphi touched Bingniao's forehead, felt the coldness, and said softly, "I learned this by myself. It took me a lot of effort and failed many times to learn it...even if I may not remember it. Well, that must be the case.”

"It's good if you can figure it out," Maca nodded, then waved his hand and said, "Then let's go! We haven't seen for a long time... Uh, father and daughter join forces to get rid of all those guys that Hai Erbo messed with! Don't leave it to him!"

"Yes, father and daughter join forces, no one will be left behind!"

Delphi hugged Maca's arm, dragged him and jumped onto the back of the ice bird, and then beckoned the giant bird to flap its wings again, and swooped down towards the city below.

Yes! What else is there to be afraid of? It was her father who gave her a reason to completely get rid of the fate of "doing nothing but still dying".

What is the "determination to die", no matter how decisive it is, it is impossible to really see death as home. If she could always be by her father's side like this, how could she be willing to die?

"Father, tell me... who should I let be my mother?"

"Cough cough cough..."

In mid-air, Maca couldn't hold back, almost coughing up his lungs.

...

"Mr. Potter, watch your back!"

When Maca and Delphi were leaving the tall building and rushing straight to the criss-crossing streets below, the battle between Harry and Thomas became more and more depressing and embarrassing.

If it's just two or three black-eyed wizards, it's still barely manageable, and if you're willing to fight, you can take the risk of killing one at the right time.

Like the previous one, Thomas relied on his absolute advantage in strength to give Harry the chance to find out at the risk of being pierced by the black thorn.

But after that, two more of those guys with a pair of black eyes appeared at the same time, a total of four enemies forced them to retreat temporarily.

However, it is not so easy to escape the pursuit of those black-eyed wizards.

Harry can fly with Thomas on a broomstick, but the other party can not only fly, even without props, but the speed is not slower than the two.

Right now, Thomas, who was looking back with his arms around Harry's waist, reminded him loudly, and Harry immediately sank down on the broom handle.

The next moment, a sharp black thorn flew over their heads with a "whoosh".

It is conceivable that if he had been shot just now, he would have been able to skewer the two of them into a human-shaped meat skewer!

"Harry, be careful, there's more!"
