Magic has been the patent of gifted people since ancient times.
Even now, the threshold of using magic has been lowered again and again. Among humans, those who can cast magic spells are only those wizards who have awakened their natural abilities.
There is no doubt that whether a person's magic source wakes up and whether the magic in his body has been activated determines whether "he"... Or "she" can be associated with magic.
However, is it certain that ordinary people cannot set foot in the world of magic?
The answer is, of course, No.
If you delve into the history of magic, you will inevitably find that even in the not very distant past, ordinary people still lived together with wizards. They share cities and towns, work and live together. Even if the mystery and danger of magic always frighten ordinary people, people have respected wizards.
More importantly, once upon a time, wizards not only accepted apprentices to teach knowledge, but also often hired ordinary people as assistants to assist themselves in magic research.
Just like now, Delphi replaces Hermione and assists Maka in the preparation of potions that do not require magic.
Until Hermione, who had left earlier, called Kingsley, and Marca told him to visit the Muggle queen again after dinner, the three left the potion preparation room together.
"When we concentrate on doing something, time often passes quickly," Marca shrugged. "Of course, although time doesn't get faster, we just ignore its loss."
Just as he was talking, the three had walked out of the corridor illuminated by magic and saw the sunshine from the window again.
Yes, time has indeed passed quietly unknowingly - the bright turns yellow, and it is no longer as dazzling as noon, which indicates that night will come again.
It was precisely because she was aware of the arrival of dinner time that Maka didn't go on with Delphi. Instead, after talking to Kingsley, she put down her work - to be honest, he wanted to go on for a while.
"Oh, Marca! We're just going to call you... Ah, Delphi is here too?"
It was Ron who was talking. When Maka and the other three passed the lobby connecting the atrium, they happened to meet him coming in from the door.
But, including Kingsley, the three people's eyes did not stay on Ron for too long, and soon all looked behind him.
Because he came back from the garden with Willie and Helen.
"Maka!"
As soon as Willie saw the three, she quickly walked over with a thick notebook in her hand - of course Marca remembered that it was a Christmas gift he gave Willie.
"You can have a look at it at dinner later. It has recorded a lot of plant data!"
After saying this, she put the note into Marca's hand, and then subconsciously turned her eyes to Delphi's face.
"Well, you are..."
Willie asked, but Delphi's eyes obviously didn't fall on her side, but looked a little distracted at Helen and Cathy at the door.
And the child being wrapped in Helen's arms.
"Remember? I just mentioned it not long ago - this is my friend with the same name as our little Delphi!"
After explaining, Maka reached out and gently touched Delphi's arm, then motioned to little Delphi in Helen's arms.
"You see, as I said, this child really looks like you when you were a child!"
After Maka's touch, Delphi finally recovered and nodded his head immediately.
"Er... Well, yes," she said slowly, "it's really very similar to what I looked like in the photos when I was a child. It startled me!"
While they were talking, Helen and little Cathy came close.
Then she saw Helen look at the child in her arms and Delphi next to Marca. I don't know if it's because she saw Delphi staring at the children all the time. She thought about it and couldn't help but carefully handed out a little:
"... do you want to hold her?"
"Oh!"
Seeing this, Maka couldn't help sighing secretly.
Let's not mention the rules of time, because as long as Delphi doesn't go too far, it's unlikely that anything will go wrong if he just hugs himself who hasn't remembered anything.
But... Seriously, the moment he heard Helen's words, he had foreseen what it would be like.
Sure enough, Delphi almost subconsciously took her young self into her arms, and then she was frozen there, and her mind was blank.
Yes, perhaps in the whole human history, few people have held up their childhood like her.
At that moment, an extremely subtle feeling immediately flashed across her body like an electric current, and then she felt an inexplicable discomfort at the bottom of her heart.
Fortunately, Marca didn't let little Delphi stay in her arms for too long, and soon stretched out her hands to pick it up.
"Well, don't stand here and chat if you want to talk! Dinner must be ready. Let's go over and talk while eating!"
With that, he took the clever and quiet little Delphi in his arms, turned and took the lead in walking towards the restaurant.
"Don't be in a daze... Alas, to be honest, I'd rather you didn't come."
Marca's voice passed in Delphi's ear and was not heard by anyone except her. After hearing this, Delphi breathed a sigh of relief. However, in the slightly confused eyes of Helen and little Cathy, she smiled more or less reluctantly.
Looking at the figure of Delphi following Marca away, little Cathy, who was a few steps behind, tilted her head and pulled Helen's sleeve.
"Seems a little strange?"
"It's no surprise," Helen, as a silent person saved by Marca, obviously decided not to have any doubt about the benefactor, even everyone recognized by the other party. "You can see that Mr. McLean is defending her - at least it's enough for me."
"Oh! Blind trust is very dangerous. Since we can't help Marca, we must at least save more attention for him within our ability?" little Cathy wrinkled her nose. "But... Well! She doesn't look like a bad guy anyway."
Although she said this reluctantly, in fact, Cathy's first impression of Delphi was excellent, even though she couldn't figure out where the favor came from.
Maybe that's why she couldn't help wondering!
"Well... It's really a little like little Delphi..."
