Chapter 1444 A Short Story in the Dark

"Come to the central square, remember not to disturb everyone, you can come alone."

When Delphi opened the window to let the little ice bird fly into the room, she saw the ice bird burst apart, and the fine ice chips turned into a line of crystal clear words.

The sentence hanging in front of him was quickly scattered on the ground, melting into a small puddle of water, and then evaporated by itself. During this period of time, Delphi, who wanted to see Maca very much, immediately disappeared and climbed up the window sill, and then jumped up into the night sky outside.

Not long after, she easily flew over the small half of the town, and landed directly near the mercury statue on the square.

Although there are a lot of street lights around here, they are not very bright, so that the square looks a bit dim at the moment.

"Where are people... Dad?"

Just when Delphi was a little confused about where Maca was, he took two random steps, and he soon saw the vertical hole on the other side of the statue.

When she saw it, she couldn't help walking over and looking down, but it was so dark that she could hardly see anything, so she couldn't be sure how deep it was.

And at this moment, Maca's voice suddenly came up from below.

"Come? Come down...it's not that deep, it's just a little dark!"

If one looked down from above, it would naturally be pitch black; but if one looked down to the cave entrance, he could clearly see Delphi's probe just now.

On the ground, upon hearing Maca yelling below, Delphi jumped up immediately, and fell down like a catkin under the control of the floating spell.

"Oh, it's really dark... Dad, don't you need some light?"

As soon as he went down, Delphi found that the bottom was really dark, so dark that he couldn't see anything, not even his own hands.

She thought that there might be something weird down here that she hadn't noticed yet, so she didn't cast a spell to illuminate it, but chose to ask Maca first.

After all, if magic lighting could be used, wouldn't Maca come by herself sooner?

But who knew that Maca who was probably standing next to her said casually:

"You can try."

"Well?"

When Delphi heard this, she raised the wand in her hand and shook it lightly, a little light suddenly lit up from the tip of her wand. But soon, she found that even though she was still outputting magic power, the ray of light weakened at a faster rate, and then went out again after a short while.

From the beginning to the end, Delphi's light was only on 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 and do it a few more times... There should be a big light-absorbing stone mine underneath, and don't even think about it until all the ores around this stone room have absorbed enough light. Lights are used for lighting here! But the furnishings here are not complicated, you can move around as you please.”

After hearing what Maca said, there was a slight sound of footsteps, and he seemed to start walking slowly according to his memory.

"Oh, by the way, in fact, you don't need to waste your magic power here, I can handle things here myself." Maka fumbled around in the dark, and said casually, "I called you here this time, mainly for ...I think what you know is the matter of the meteorite falling.

"

"Uh, yes... not too long."

While responding softly, Delphi shook the wand in his hand again, re-lighting the surroundings for a moment.

When people are in the dark, they will always feel a little uneasy, and even if there is no way to maintain the light for a long time, at least it is necessary to see the surrounding situation clearly.

This time, Delphi raised the intensity of the luminous spell to the limit of the spell as much as possible, but it still couldn't match the speed at which the surrounding light-absorbing stone mines absorbed light.

Just after she roughly saw that it was a not-so-large rectangular stone room, and found that there were several stone pillars standing in front of it, the light ball on the tip of her staff went out again.

Hmm, what characters seem to be engraved on the surface of those stone pillars? It looked... like some alchemical symbols - she didn't have time to see clearly.

Of course, as Maca said before, he obviously doesn't need Delphi to see clearly.

Soon, Delphi saw a few unknown rays of light flashing across the dark stone room that had just returned to the dark stone room after the luminous spell was extinguished.

That should be sent from the stone pillars she saw before.

Then, I heard Maca continue:

"Yeah, it's coming soon...so, you know, I'll have to go there when the time comes. It won't take much time, but—"

At this point, the dark stone room once again shone with light, accompanied by a few symbols in the center of the stone room.

Maca stood beside the stone pillar, put one hand on it, paused for a moment, then continued:

"The latest news from Sirius just now is that the 'resurrected dead' who were wandering around London suddenly disappeared. Hmm... To be honest, I have a bad feeling, after all, the meteorite It will eventually fall to Hogwarts, and it can also be said that it was directly caused by Hai Erbo."

These words of Maca made Delphi feel more and more uneasy the more she heard—is the so-called "Night of the Living Dead" in her memory real? Isn't that the false memory Maca instilled in her?

"Dad..." Delphi couldn't help but said, "Do you still remember the memories you gave me through the time converter?"

"Well, of course, what's wrong?"

"Then do you still remember that there is an event in those memories called 'Night of the Living Dead'?"

"Sorry, isn't that name a little strange? Actually, it's the name of a horror movie in the Muggle world, and I just used it... Oh, is it because these recent events make you feel a little confused Memory and reality?"

Maca's answer immediately made the confusion in Delphi's heart fall to the ground - yes, Dad knew about those things, so it was all false!

She...it seems that she doesn't have to worry so much anymore.

"I'm sorry, Dad... why did I suspect you? I really shouldn't—"

"No, no, it's okay, it's normal. If you have any doubts in the future, tell me as soon as possible, don't hide it in your heart and think about it alone," Maca said, "No matter how busy you are, I will listen to you to say a few words There is still time."

Before the words fell, a few flashes of light flashed in the stone room again. Just when Delphi thought that they would go out as soon as before, suddenly, she found that a large amount of light suddenly shone in from the hole above her head when it came down.

For a moment, it was like daylight on the ground.

"Go, go up and have a look!" Maca said immediately.
