"Believe me! Dad, if you do this, you will definitely regret it in the future."
When Delphi said this, her eyes were firm. At the same time, Maka's eyes were rarely shaken.
When he saw Maka standing there, he was startled and then said:
"Yeah?"
"Yes," Delphi said resolutely, "To be honest, this idea actually suits my heart! If I don't consider other things, I think I will definitely agree... However, it is not in line with Dad's usual behavior. Concept, isn’t it?”
When Maka heard what she said, she couldn't help but subconsciously turned around and glanced at the tube of semi-finished medicine on the test tube rack.
Yes, he knew that Delphi was right - if it were him in the past, he would never want to refine such a thing. Because this approach, even if it cannot be compared with what Haierbo did, is only fifty steps away from a hundred steps away.
Perhaps it was because Maka had already understood this that he never told Hermione about it, but chose to hide it.
"Yes, I have to admit, you are right." Maka moved her eyes away from the test tube rack and looked back at Delphi, "But, Delphi... you should also know that I have nothing more to say. Good idea."
"Can-"
Delphi pursed her lips and looked at the "father" in front of her with some distress - she wanted to find a reason for Maka to give up this plan, and she didn't want Maka to be burdened with a life of helplessness forever in the future. Paid sins.
Unfortunately, she couldn't do it.
And since he couldn't do it, it seemed that he could only bear it with his father.
"Dad, I will go with you tonight, and not just tonight... I am not like you in this regard, and I will not feel guilty for doing this."
"I know," Maka nodded with a heavy heart, "Thank you."
Maka just said that he would bring Delphi with him, but that was not actually what he did. But this time, Delphi took the initiative to become one of the implementers of this plan.
To be honest, Maka was touched, after all, this plan really made him feel a lot of pressure. But soon, he put this matter aside for the time being, because there was obviously another thing in front of him that made him feel more uneasy.
"Delphi, but...how did you know about my plan?"
There is no doubt that Maka never told anyone about this. And until now, the potion in the test tube is only a semi-finished product. No matter who comes, it is impossible to guess what the finished product will look like.
But when hearing Maka's question, Delphi did not directly answer directly. Instead, after a slight pause, the topic suddenly changed:
"Dad, when I was walking near the neighborhood where asylum seekers live, I happened to meet a mother and daughter. I wasn't sure whether they were wizards or Muggles, and I didn't ask specifically... I just had a casual chat with them. , has no special purpose.”
"But who knows," Delphi said, lowering his eyes slightly and said softly, "It was precisely because of this accident that I discovered some problems that I had never been aware of before."
"Is it a memory problem?"
As Delphi narrated, Maka's brows wrinkled little by little, and after seeing Delphi nod, she even knitted into a ball.
"Human memory is really amazing. When you feel that something is not that important, it will automatically hide in the depths of your mind, so that you will no longer notice it easily... However, those things will not be simply remembered. The memory actually does not disappear. It is often always there, waiting for you to recall it by chance one day."
Memory is a part of the soul. Maka, who has studied the rules of the soul in depth, naturally knows its complexity.
However, with his mastery of the rules of the soul, he always firmly believed that the magic left on the time turner was definitely enough to rewrite the memory of Delphi in the future.
However, having confidence in one's own magic does not mean that one has the same confidence in the plan to challenge the rules of time head-on. The only uncertainty may be that no one can accurately know what will happen in the future.
"Dad, you know what? I discovered that I can actually speak French fluently... and as far as I know, you don't seem to be able to."
This is tangible evidence.
If the previous battle of Spiral Town is very similar to the "Night of the Living Dead" in Delphi's memory, and it can also be said to be Maka's reasonable deduction of the future, then Delphi's skillful use of French now is a fact. There is irrefutable proof of Maka's control.
After all, Delphi's memory of the former is only pieced together through many "rumors", while the latter has almost become her instinct.
"etc."
Suddenly, Maka seemed to have thought of something and quickly took out the time turner from her arms. Then, he turned the golden ring of the pendant over and looked at it carefully.
It can be seen that the words "Delphi MacLean" that he carved with his own hands are still there. Even though more than ten years have left traces of wear and tear on the carving, and the magic that has been activated has disappeared, he did not find any suspicious problems.
If I have to say... are the scratches on it a little shallower than you remember
"See for yourself."
Maka shook her head and handed the time turner to Delphi.
And while Delphi couldn't help but stare at the converter and fell into deep thought, Maka had already thought of more - obviously, Delphi's problem originated from the rules of time, not the rules of his soul. Thinking about it this way, the previous question of Luna and Delphi's consecutive deaths seems to have a direction that can be explained.
Perhaps, the entangled fate between Luna and Delphi was not completely resolved at all. What Maka did was just to postpone their "inevitable" ending again and again.
The inconspicuous struggle between Maka and the rules of time has never been decided.
"So... Even if Noah's magic stone can help Luna get through another difficulty, what about the next time? The next time?" Maka couldn't help but murmured, "The rules of time are staring at Luna."
Even this seems to be more than just Luna, because in this circle of time, there is also a Delphi!
"hiss-"
Maka took a deep breath and looked at her "eldest daughter" who had her head slightly lowered. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
So, both of them fell into silence.
