Chapter 1240

The girl in the room seemed to fall into silence again.

Seeing this, Marca can only temporarily suppress the idea of continuing to urge and turn back to the stairs - since Delphi needs some space, it's better to give her more space. Anyway, Marca has to talk to Harry and them.

But before he could take a few more steps, he heard the creak of the door being opened behind him. Delphi came out after all.

Sure enough, as soon as Maka looked back, she immediately saw that she had come to the corridor. There was some complex emotion in her eyes.

"Dad... Please come in!"

After that, even if Delphi went back to the room again, Maka could only follow in together.

"Delphi."

Looking at the girl who took up the silver cup and sat back on the edge of the bed, Maka didn't know what to say at this time. So after thinking about it, he whispered:

"What difficulties have you encountered? If you feel uncomfortable in your heart, you might as well tell me! You see, I'm not... Um, not 'dad'? What troubles can't you tell Dad?"

However, Delphi just shook his head, held the cup and hung his head lower.

After waiting patiently for a moment and giving her some more time, Maka went up to her and squatted down, looked at her face and called her gently.

"Delphi?"

"No," the girl still shook her head, "I can't tell my father about this... And don't be so gentle to me, because if you know the truth, you won't..."

It can be seen that Delphi is very embarrassed at the moment. It seems that something is constantly bothering her.

Finally, she bit her lower lip and whispered:

"Anyway... Sorry, Dad, I can't give you back the time converter."

Maka was stunned at the speech and couldn't help but immediately say:

"Why?"

When Delphi saw him asking, he looked at him seriously and said after a few seconds:

"You should know the reason, don't you? You even know better than me... You just keep it from others and haven't talked to anyone."

"Huh?"

When Maka heard this, she hesitated, and then said in silence:

"Do you mean to say... The sequelae of forcibly violating the rules and exceeding the backtracking time?"

Due to the double limitations of time rules and time converter itself, the maximum span of time travel is about five hours. Beyond this time, there will be unpredictable and serious harm to travelers and time itself.

When using the time converter last time, Maka didn't violate the five hour rule at first. After all, this was the result of many wizards' experiments with their own lives.

However, with just five hours and many restrictions on time travel, the possibility of changing some decisive events is very small. So later, Maka had to reuse a lot of time converters for research and calculation, and finally managed to find a way to break through the five hour limit to change the facts.

In the end, he deceived himself, others, and even the whole world, and seized a glimmer of vitality belonging to all members of Hogwarts.

However, it is obvious that he still failed to cheat the almost strict time rules.

Excessive time travel caused some damage to his body. His cough and sudden coma after returning were the best proof.

But he didn't tell anyone that it was actually a permanent injury. If there is no accident, even if he doesn't use the time converter since then, that kind of harm will follow him all his life.

But fortunately, a certain degree of organ damage is not too much trouble for an excellent magician. As long as he takes the potion continuously for a long time, at least the damage will not continue to deteriorate and will not have too much impact on his health.

Soon after he developed a targeted magic medicine and began to take it regularly, his cough symptoms disappeared. Everyone, even himself, didn't care about this harmless little thing anymore.

However, to make the injury no longer worsen, this is naturally based on the premise that he will never use the time converter. If he dares to travel again, even if it is within the limit of five hours, it may continue to cause damage to his body.

In case of exceeding the limit again, deepening the damage is almost an inevitable result.

These thoughts flashed through Marca's mind, but then he slowly shook his head and smiled at Delphi.

"Yes, I know very well - but what should be done still has to be done, doesn't it?" he said. "Just like you, Delphi... You have crossed more than ten years at a time, just to prevent the opening of this disaster. I believe if it were you, you would understand my mood."

"Understand?"

Delphi pursed her lips, still lowered her head, and whispered to herself:

"Yes, I can understand dad's mood... And I know very well that it is very, very difficult to stop you. Because you have always been so firm, tenacious... And stubborn!"

"Yes! Since you can understand, then -"

"No!" Delphi immediately interrupted, "maybe dad doesn't know me very well. In fact, I'm as stubborn as you. Let alone..."

As before, she didn't finish her words. When Maka saw her talking, she stopped again. She couldn't help wondering, but she turned her head:

"Delphi, I know you must stop me for my good. Yes, I can feel your concern for me, and I'm glad to see you who have grown up now..."

"However, no matter how dangerous it is, there are some things I have to do. Let alone you? Tell me what will happen and what consequences will be caused after I do that, and then we will work together to study how to overcome that problem -"

"There's no way!"

Delphi listened, suddenly put the silver cup aside, and then grasped Marca's arm tightly.

"Dad, there's no way... The rules of time can't be deceived." she looked at Maka, frowned and stressed hard, "Dad, do you know? In fact, even if I don't tell you what will happen, you can figure it out by yourself tonight - do you understand? My plan has completely failed. It has completely failed since the second I was discovered by Haier Bo!"

"After that, in fact, you can predict all the developments yourself - including that you may need to travel beyond the limit, including what Haier wave tools will do with demon summoning... Even if I don't tell you, you will speculate one by one with your own wisdom."

"Yes, Dad... I really think you are very good. I always regard me as your child as the proudest thing in my life. Even after I know that my real father is Tom Riddle, I always think so."

"But... No matter how smart you are, even if you know clearly that you will be seriously hurt, you still use the time converter in the end."

At this point, Delphi let go of Marca's arms and plopped back to the end of the bed.

"You're really good... You had calculated clearly and knew that you might never return, but you finally came back. I heard from Miss Granger... She said that just a few minutes after you used the time converter, you appeared in front of everyone with a wound and smiled and said that you had found an opportunity to protect yourself" fortunately " Live your own life... "

When Maka heard this, she just slightly frowned, but hurriedly asked:

"What about... Luna?"

This time, Delphi didn't answer.

When Maka saw that she was silent, her face changed again, and then she couldn't help closing her mouth slowly.

After nearly a minute of silence, Delphi continued:

"After that, you spent a long time with Mr. Snape for treatment. At last, although you managed to suppress the injury, it also left very serious sequelae... But even then, after you moved, you stood in front of everyone immediately and organized the remaining resisters to establish a rebel base."

"As for what happened after that, I said it last time, so I won't repeat it..." she paused. "In a word, I just want to tell you that you have actually done what you should try and study, but it just proves that all your efforts are useless!"

"Not only can't you save miss Lovegood, you almost... No, not nearly... I think you just killed yourself!"

I remember Delphi said before that in the end, Maka should go to Haier Bo for a decisive battle, but there was no miracle in the end.

Well, maybe if he hadn't been hurt so badly by time travel, he would be more likely to win helbo? Who knows?

But the question is, may Maka give up the chance to save Luna?

No, it's impossible.

Maka shook her head and couldn't help sighing - these words from Delphi really made him feel extreme concern. Delphi was really concerned about his safety. It seemed that it was a very secondary thing to defeat halbo.

It can be seen that Delphi said that she came to this era to "for her father", which was serious.
