"Come to the Central Square, remember not to disturb everyone, just come alone."
When Delphi opened the window and let the little ice bird fly into the house, she saw the ice bird suddenly spread out, and the fine ice shavings turned into a line of crystal clear text.
The sentence hanging in front of me soon fell to the ground, melted into a small puddle of water, and then evaporated on its own. Delphi, who had wanted to see Maka during this period, immediately disappeared and climbed onto the window sill, then jumped into the night sky outside.
Not long after, she flew over half of the town with ease and landed directly near the mercury statue in the square.
Although there are a lot of street lights in the surrounding circle, they are not very bright, so that the square seems a bit dim at the moment.
"Where's the person...Dad?"
Just when Delphi was a little confused about where Maca was, he took two random steps and soon saw the vertical hole on the other side of the statue.
When she saw it, she couldn't help but walked over and looked down, but it was so dark below that she could hardly see anything, so she wasn't sure how deep it was.
And it was at this moment that Maka's voice suddenly came up from underneath.
"Here? Come down... It's not too deep, it's just a little dark!"
If he looked down from above, it would naturally be pitch black; but if he looked down at the entrance of the cave, he could clearly see Delphi's head just now.
On the ground, after hearing Maka shouting from below, Delphi immediately jumped up and landed as lightly as 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 got out, Delphi discovered that it was really dark down there, so dark that he couldn't see anything, not even his own hands.
She thought there might be something weird down here that she hadn't discovered yet, so she didn't cast a spell to illuminate it, but chose to ask Maka first.
After all, if magic lighting could be used, wouldn't Maka have come by herself
But who knew that Maka, who was probably standing next to her, said casually:
"You can try."
"Well?"
Upon hearing this, Delphi raised the wand in her hand and shook it gently, and a little light suddenly shone from the tip of her wand. But soon, she discovered that even though she continued to output magic power, the light weakened at a faster rate and went out again soon.
From beginning to end, Delphi's light only lit up 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 can't see clearly, then increase the intensity and do it a few more times... There should be a large light-draining stone mine underneath. Until all the ores around this stone room have absorbed enough light, don't even think about it. It’s illuminated here with light! But the furnishings here are not complicated, you can just memorize them and move around as you like.”
After hearing what Maka said, a slight sound of footsteps sounded immediately, and he seemed to start walking slowly according to his memory.
"Oh, by the way, actually you don't have to waste your magic power here. I can take care of things here myself." Maka said casually while fumbling around in the dark, "I called you here mainly for … What I think you know is the matter of the meteorite falling.”
"Uh, yeah... not long yet."
While Delphi responded softly, he shook the wand in his hand again, illuminating the surroundings for a moment.
When people are in the dark, they always feel a little uneasy, and even if there is no way to maintain light for a long time, it is at least necessary to see the surrounding situation clearly.
This time, Delphi tried his best to increase the intensity of the luminous spell to the limit of the spell, but it was still unable to withstand the speed at which the surrounding light-draining stone mines absorbed light.
Just after she roughly saw that it was a rectangular stone room that was not too big, and discovered that there were several stone pillars standing in front of it, the light ball on the tip of her staff went out again.
Well, what other characters seem to be engraved on the surfaces of those stone pillars? It looked like... some alchemical symbols - she didn't have time to see clearly.
Of course, as Maka said before, he obviously doesn't need Delphi to see clearly.
Soon, Delphi saw several unknown rays of light suddenly flashing through the dark stone room that had just returned to the dark stone room after the luminous spell was extinguished.
That should be coming from the stone pillars she saw before.
Then, I heard Maka continue:
"Yes, it's coming soon... So, you know, I have to go there then. It won't take long, but -"
After saying this, a ray of light once again lit up in the dark stone chamber, accompanied by several symbols that flickered in the center of the stone chamber.
Maka stood next to the stone pillar, put a hand on it, paused for a moment and then continued:
"The latest news from Sirius just now is that the 'resurrected dead' who were originally wandering around London suddenly disappeared. Hmm... To be honest, I have a bad premonition. After all, the meteorite will eventually It will fall towards Hogwarts, which can also be said to be directly caused by that guy Herbo."
Maka's words made Delphi more and more uneasy the more she heard them - was the so-called "Night of the Living Dead" in her memory true? Isn't that a false memory that Maka instilled in her
"Dad..." Delphi couldn't help but said, "Do you still remember the memories you gave me through the time turner?"
"Yeah, of course, what's wrong?"
"Then do you still remember that there is an event in those memories called 'Night of the Living Dead'?"
"I'm sorry, isn't that name a bit strange? In fact, it is the name of a horror movie in the Muggle world, so I just used it... Oh, are you feeling a little confused about your memory due to the recent events? And reality?”
Maka's answer suddenly made all the confusion in Delphi's heart fall to the ground - yes, Dad knows those things, so they are all false!
She... doesn't seem to have to worry so much anymore.
"I'm sorry, Dad... Why did I doubt you? I really shouldn't-"
"No, no, it's okay. This is normal. If you have any doubts in the future, please tell me as soon as possible. Don't hide it in your heart and think about it alone," Maka said. "No matter how busy you are, I will listen to what you have to say." There is still time.”
Before he finished speaking, a few more lights flashed in the stone chamber. Just when Delphi thought they would be extinguished as quickly as before, suddenly, she discovered that a large amount of light suddenly shone out of the hole above her head.
For a moment, it seemed like daylight on the ground.
"Let's go up and have a look!" Maca said immediately.
