After coming out of Snape's hometown, Maka paced gently in the dark spider tail lane and walked all the way. The snow in the air is getting bigger and stronger, the wind is stronger and stronger, and the snowstorm will come again.
In the snowy sky, he thought patiently as he walked, sorting out and connecting the information and clues he had just received from Snape one by one, and his mind was full of thoughts for a time.
But in his concentrated thinking, he still remembered to maintain his magic. As soon as the dense snowflakes reached the top of the head, they slipped to both sides and silently merged into the snow on the ground.
Before long, he suddenly had a meal under his feet and found that he had unconsciously reached a small river.
The ticking sound in my ears is still ringing. If I don't pay attention to it, I will inadvertently ignore it over time. But if you care too much, it will make people feel irritable.
Maka thought, took the time converter out of her arms and looked over and over.
This thing was invented by modern wizards, but its core component, the little hourglass embedded in the middle of the gold ring, was not made by modern wizards. To be exact, it's the golden gravel in the hourglass.
He could sense from the gravel that some strange magic was constantly flowing, which was very mysterious.
If you want to ask Marca why he suddenly took out the time converter at this time, it is because he is really hesitant now.
He has nothing to do with the mysterious ancient magic mirror, but the key to the problem lies in the strange and terrible mirror.
According to the information revealed by Snape, greenward's means are really powerful. But now, the solution can be said to be clearly put in front of tamaka.
But no matter how to solve it, the mirror is always on his way forward, and there is no way to get around it.
Therefore, he has only one thing to do now - find a way to deal with the mirror first. If he is always subject to that mirror, no matter what he wants to do, it will be difficult to enter in the end.
"... five hours and twenty-three minutes." Maka whispered, looking at the time converter in her hand.
A person as smart as greenward must not miss the time converter, but why is he completely unprepared for it? Obviously, he probably knows more about the time converter than Marca.
Not to mention that more than five hours can not affect his plan at all, that is, the restrictions on the rules of time will make people who use it hit a wall everywhere, and even if they are not careful, they will worry about their lives.
After several times of use, Maka has deeply realized the feeling of difficulty.
Now, we should not only avoid the restrictions and risks of time rules, but also try to deal with the key of the ancient magic mirror. What he faced was a terrible situation in which time was far from enough.
After some hesitation, Maka's eyebrows gradually stretched from a tight frown, as if she had a decision in her heart.
He put away the time converter again, refreshed himself again, and then left the dark and gloomy town in a burst of space distortion.
What's next? Isn't that obvious? He will use the repeated five hours and 23 minutes to build a real journey of time and space!
……
Maka has always focused on the study of magic knowledge. But recently, continuous emergencies have occupied almost every day of his life, making him unable to calm down and do what he wants to do.
Originally, he didn't want to use the time converter to exchange more time for research. But the risks and hidden dangers made him never implement this idea.
Because no one knows whether going back to time again and again will also bring some unpredictable burden to the body.
But now, greenward's behavior forced him to do so.
Therefore, in this unknown more than five hours, a strange scene appeared on the secret island in the Mediterranean:
Every few seconds, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the gate of the magic tower, rushed to a specific position in the jungle of the secret island without hesitation, put down a small tent, and then couldn't wait to get into it.
They occupied a corner of the island, separated by a certain distance from each other, as if they didn't know what was happening around them, and did seemingly consistent but completely different things.
Without the cover of the jungle, they could even turn their heads and catch a glimpse of each other's existence, but the figures seemed to be unaware of the wonders on the island, or didn't want to pay attention at all.
Until the end of these five hours, the tents on the island disappeared one after another, as if everything that happened in these five hours was a secret dream.
Finally, there was only one tent left on the uninhabited island, and the people who had drilled in before appeared quietly again. He quietly put away his tent and looked around.
"This place is not big enough..."
There was a strange look on his face. Although he looked energetic, his eyes were full of fatigue. He didn't stay too long... Soon, he took out a glittering gadget from his arms and disappeared when he reached for it.
But it was his last words to himself that made several uninhabited places in the world staged this amazing and frightening picture at the same time with the secret island.
……
Maka felt very tired, really tired, and even the magic medicine could not completely eliminate this fatigue.
He didn't have a rest, but even if he fell asleep, he could only sleep for five hours each time. The residual fatigue of the body and the mental fatigue accumulated in the backtracking again and again, washing his gradually tense nerves.
How many times is this? Thinking of this, Maka looked down at the notebook beside the table... Oh, it's thousands, and the number of days has exceeded 200.
After glancing at the hourglass timer on the table, he leaned all over the back of his chair and took a long breath.
Time can change many things, but also people. In these two hundred days, he kept immersing himself in research, taking his repeated backtracking as research material and devoted himself to it.
He can't give himself too much leisure to think, otherwise, he is not sure whether he will change his mind.
But now, he suddenly found that even if the original event was still deeply imprinted in his mind, there was no omission in every detail, but
"... Luna."
Maka suddenly opened the drawer next to her and took out a small photo frame. Behind the frame glass, a girl who looked a little confused was looking curiously at him outside the frame.
The magic photos were all black and white, but he seemed to see the faint golden glow, which was only the dazzling color of the girl.
However, this touch of gold spread in his memory and almost drowned everything. No, what Luna has is more than this touch of gold... She has more places that fascinate him, and more
"More... What?"
Since when did his memories blur?
Maka opened her eyes wide and tried to look at the girl in the picture frame. There was an inexplicable shaking in his eyes.
Suddenly, he suddenly closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
After putting the photo frame in a corner of the desk, he turned his eyes to the paper in front of him again. The above self is dense, but it is not as neat and orderly as before, but more and more scrawly.
Obviously, his continuous work has made some changes. If he put it in the past, he could not write the research materials like this.
Maka picked up a large stack of manuscript paper next to her, turned it over in a hurry, and then gently threw it aside.
As for the research results, these more than 200 days are not in vain. He has drawn a lot of speculations and conclusions about time backtracking. For example, even after thousands of backtracking, his appearance has not changed in a minute, and his hair has not grown even an inch.
For another example, too long backtracking does cause damage to the body. Through several attempts to stop, he personally felt some unspeakable discomfort. Although on the surface, it just seemed to make people feel sick, he knew it must be more than that.
There are still some research behaviors like taking yourself as an experiment, but there are not many. After all, he didn't dare to joke about his life. He wasn't the kind of madman who didn't even want his life for research.
But the most important thing is that he has never made much progress in his main research object - time rule runes. Even with the rune table after the book of sin as a reference, this level of rules is still too mysterious for him.
Maka rubbed her forehead, pressed the hard to eliminate fatigue to the bottom of her heart, and stood up on the table. The hourglass timer on the table is about to turn over automatically, and the rest time is over again.
Now he has to turn the time converter again and go back to five hours ago to start the next step of research again.
"... when this incident is over, we must have a good rest." he said a little sadly, waiting for the last grain of sand in the hourglass to settle quietly, and then waved away his tent.
At the same time, his tired body disappeared in place.
