Overnight, the dark sky was lit up twice in a row.
If we put it in the past, it is naturally an abominable act that disturbs people's dreams. But now in this spiral Town, where can the vast majority of newly admitted asylum seekers sleep so easily?
From the day and night when London was shrouded in fog, everyone lived in uneasiness. At night, the first thing the asylum seekers think of is no longer the beauty of falling asleep safely, but the fear that no one knows when the attack will come again.
When the light spread all over the town like the exceptionally bright moonlight, people will be surprised and feel relieved that the darkness has been dispersed.
Especially this second time, it is different from the "self entertainment" after Luna entered the statue. After Maka's beating in the dark underground, he has jumped over the control of the mercury statue and directly started the most powerful protective magic in spiral town.
It was a huge translucent shield with a faint silver light. Just looking up, you can easily see that the shield is like a big bowl upside down on the town, completely isolating the inside and outside of the town.
The asylum seekers who had seen Luna's light ball before now poked their heads out of the windows again. If you observe carefully, you can find that the most expression on that face is a relieved smile.
But just then, Delphi, who had just returned to the ground with Marca, looked up at her neck for a while, and her eyes showed a trace of worry.
"Dad, this protective spell... I'm afraid it's not strong enough?"
"Yes!" Maka also raised her head, looked at it and said, "halbo himself won't say it first - if he came to attack here himself now, it must be no protective curse. But even if he sent his men to attack..."
As he spoke, he could not help shaking his head, and then subconsciously turned to say:
"... in other words, the people who built this town and set this protective curse were not the enemy of halbo at all. Therefore, this barrier may be able to prevent Voldemort and Death Eaters -"
Before she finished, Marka suddenly realized that she shouldn't mention the name "Voldemort" in front of Delphi.
But when Delphi saw him stop, he turned around and smiled at him calmly.
"It's all right, Dad... For me in the past, my real life experience is no longer important, let alone now... Isn't it?"
To be honest, at this moment, Maka actually saw a little unnatural in her expression. However, he didn't say anything, just nodded to her with the same smile.
"In short," Marca continued quickly, "next, I will try to transform the following things, including the half about magic incantation and ancient magic literature, and the half about alchemy."
Even though he was not good at the latter, he could quickly find people who were good at it - which was obviously not a problem for him.
"But before that..."
After a brief pause, he waved to Delphi, then went straight to the base at the foot of the statue and sat down.
"We still have to pick up the topics we haven't finished talking about before and go on."
When Delphi heard the speech, he couldn't help thinking about it a little, and then he seemed to say something suddenly:
"Is it about meteorites?"
Just now, because of her panic from memory, she suddenly interrupted Maka's words, but since Maka specially called her, she will not forget the most important things in a blink of an eye.
But before Maka answered, she immediately took the lead as if she were asking herself:
"Do you need me to stay here and guard the town instead of you when dad you go to Hogwarts to solve the meteorite problem?"
"Well," Maka nodded slowly, "you can say so. It's just... Of course, your own safety is also very important. Don't force - if Haier Bo appears outside in person, all you have to do is sneak out of spiral town with Hermione, Luna and others - you should know who it is."
After a little meal, Maka went further:
"I'll show you some secret evacuation routes later... Remember, this is a decision I made for you and for you, so don't have any psychological burden."
When he said these words, his expression became very serious. Especially the tone of the last sentence, which contains a heavy Delphi can easily hear.
After all, that is almost a declaration to abandon the vast majority of asylum seekers. It can be said that most people will fall into a dilemma when facing this choice.
Sometimes, even if only one life is decided, it is enough to annoy many people, not to mention the lives of so many asylum seekers?
Perhaps with Delphi's character, it's easy to say. If it were Hermione, she wouldn't be able to make such a decision all her life.
"I see," Delphi could not help but remain silent for a moment after listening to Marca's advice, and then nodded gently, "I'll do what Dad says - I listen to Dad."
"Thank you," said Marca, patting her on the shoulder with such a firm answer. "Please... But by the way, you won't be the only one to bear the burden of protecting this town. I'm afraid Hermione and they will act on their own even if I don't mention it."
"... but I think there is someone I have to talk to you about."
At this point, makafu left the base of the statue and stood up. He pointed back to the lifelike mercury statue and said:
"After I improve the defensive spells below, the statue will still control their opening and closing. As far as I know, Luna is the only one who can control the statue... That is, if necessary, she will become the core of the overall defense of the whole town."
"So," said Maka, shrugging, "at least protect the statue... And her in it before she has to choose to abandon it."
Seeing Maka say so, Delphi could not help but sip her mouth, stared at Maka's face and whispered:
"Dad, I have a question for you - do you want me to focus on protecting miss Lovegood, really just because she will be the 'core of all-round defense'? Or..."
Maka looked at her slightly awkward expression and had to shake her head reluctantly.
"Well... I know what you want to say, but... Both!"
He answered calmly.
