Chapter 1634 Gift of Staff
Of course, Maca would not agree to Delphi's astonishing request—how could Maca risk the people around him when he knew that these reagents would cause great pain and even life-threatening risks to the users.
Even if he really wants to use it for Delphi, he will only choose to use the safe and effective finished potion directly after the research is successful.
But... well! It's not that Maca can't understand Delphi's mood.
When a once powerful witch suddenly lost the ability to use magic, the feeling of extreme insecurity must be quite terrifying. In addition, Delphi has always wanted to help Maca, the "father", but in the current situation, it seems that it is not easy not to make trouble for the other party.
Between the various gaps before and after, this self-confident girl who has always been very assertive must never be able to settle down in her heart.
Yes, this is probably a fundamental problem that even Maca's comfort and persuasion cannot completely change.
"Delphie, don't think too much." Maka paused, stood up and walked in front of her, reached out and patted her bag lightly, "If you become like Hermione all day Don’t feel at ease, after that, things like this—”
While he was talking, he suddenly pointed to the crucible next to him, then smiled slightly and said:
"... I guess I can only hide in a corner by myself to worry and have a headache!"
"dad."
Although the tone of Maca's words sounded more like a joke, when Delphi saw the faint regret in the depths of his eyes, he immediately understood that it might not be a joke.
If Delphi really goes on like this, for the sake of protecting her heart, Maca will probably really stop letting her participate in such incidents that will have a negative impact on people.
"Dad, I—"
"Okay, Delphi," Maca interrupted her, still smiling, "Don't worry, when this research is really successful, I will naturally leave a copy for you! And before that , in fact, making Muggles use magic is not necessarily the only option to 'solve the problem at its root'."
Before the words were finished, Maca suddenly stretched out his hand to his waist, and groped carefully for a while. Then, Delphi saw that he gradually pulled out a long wooden staff from the bag that was engraved with many symbols and lines, and with a jewel inlaid on the top.
"A little long and a little heavy,
But it is indeed usable—” Maca held the long staff, and weighed it in front of Delphi’s eyes, “I demonstrated it to Dumbledore at the beginning, and then I improved it a few times later——Give it A gemstone that can store active magic power is added, but there is no time to think about it later. "
Having said that, he suddenly pointed at the other end of the preparation room.
The next moment, I saw an icy edge flashing across the room, hitting the wall with a clang and turning into pieces. And then there was a small pothole and a slight crack on the wall.
"The power is a bit short," Maca shrugged when he saw this, "but the point is that you can cast magic without using the user's magic power. Then, if you add something to it..."
While Maka was saying this, he swipe his fingers a few times at the gemstone on the top of the staff. With a flash of light flashing past, Maca put down his hand and handed the staff to Delphi.
"Try it!"
To be honest, this rough-looking long staff is really not very beautiful, and it is quite inconvenient to carry and use. However, if you want to reduce its size further, it is actually difficult to maintain its special function.
Delphi took the long stick, looked around curiously, and then imitated Maca's action just now, and waved his finger tentatively.
In an instant, the cooling rune disappeared from the top of the staff, and then a white light beam shot forward with a "chuck".
It can be seen that although the regular light beam is short and thin, its power is completely incomparable to that of the previous ice pick.
"Crackling——"
A snow-white frost mark was left on the wall, and the wall had been cracked by the extreme low temperature. It is not difficult to imagine what would have happened if the person hit was a person.
"Oh, by the way, the amount of magic power that that gemstone can store is very limited." Seeing that Delphi was stunned for a moment, he couldn't help but waved it subconsciously, Maca hurriedly said, "If it's just the previous The ice cone magic can be used many times, but the rule magic that consumes a lot of money can only be used once."
Seeing this, Maca reached out and touched the gemstone of the staff lightly, pouring new magic power into it. When the gemstone erupted with a faint blue light, Maca signaled:
"Remember to take it with you at any time in the future, don't dislike it, ugly is ugly, at least it can give you more hope of getting out of danger in temporary situations... Oh, giving you this does not mean that I support you to do it Some dangerous things, just self-defense, okay?"
Of course Delphi was very happy to receive a gift from her father. After being stunned for a moment, she seemed to remember to express her thanks to Maca.
However, Maca didn't care. After he said those words just now, he turned his head and looked at the crucible——the boiling sound of gurgling started to become smaller.
"Oh, this pot is almost ready."
As soon as he finished speaking, Maca nodded at her, and then walked towards the crucible. While walking, he said with some regret:
"Speaking of it... it takes a lot of time to carve this long staff, and it is difficult to mass-produce. If you want to be able to withstand the rule runes, you need a stable formation to assist you... well, There are too many problems. Otherwise, why am I still entangled with these potions that violate my principles?"
Delphi originally wanted to say something more, but she was busy again watching Maca from behind, and she swallowed what she originally wanted to say.
Yes! Father is already overwhelmed... What is she doing all this? Isn't this just to upset my father's heart?
"Dad, thank you for the gift... that's it! I'm going out first... oh, I'll try to study it again by the way."
"yes?"
Maca turned around holding a stirring stick, and nodded again at Delphi.
"Okay! But remember to be careful—you can't understand the power of cooling rules, just don't accidentally hurt yourself."
"Ok."
Delphi looked at him and responded softly.
"Oh, right... tonight, Miss Granger and the others may come here... after we go to the Queen's Manor."
