harry potter book of crimes

It was an era when almost everyone had forgotten happiness.

No matter when you are, no matter where you are, when you raise your head, you will see everything in mist, and when you lower your head, you will see ruins scattered everywhere. Ruins will become everywhere, and death will become a shortcut to seek relief.

Fear spreads wantonly in every piece of land and every inch of air.

In Delphi's memory, the cruel scenes gradually became clear again. It seemed to be silently telling her that no matter how easy and beautiful the days were, they would never be able to erase the shadow that was deeply engraved in her heart.

.

So when Maka asked, she closed her eyes slightly and was silent for a long time.

"Helbo's reign of terror will start in London, England, and spread to the entire European continent." Delphi said one word at a time, "At that time, the structure of the world will be completely overturned, and the fate of wizards and Muggles will also be changed.

It won't be any different anymore."

Having said this, she couldn't help but slightly pursed her lips with her eyes closed, as if she was in that terrible era again.

"At least before I came back, most of the European continent and nearly all of the African continent had completely lost their current appearance."

These few simple sentences from Delphi are definitely not able to describe the changes in the entire world one by one, not to mention that she may still have reservations about some key points.

But just by the outline of these few sentences, the extremely gloomy picture of the future seemed to quietly unfold in front of Maka.

The so-called "reign of terror" is often accompanied by extremely severe high pressure.

Like a certain period of the Muggle French Revolution, under these circumstances, convictions will become rash and efficient, executions will become routine, and fear will take root in the hearts of the people.

And if the ruler is Herbo, judging from London today, the level of "terrible" will obviously only be higher.

At that time, the people under Haierbo's rule and oppression must be miserable...

No, Maka estimated that the situation would definitely be more than that by then.

It is conceivable that when the incomparable darkness sets off a wave of fear, resistance becomes the only way out for neighboring countries. At that time, war, death and desolation will also become the main tone outside the realm ruled by Haierbo.

Not only Haierbo, but also some lucky villains in various countries around the world are very likely to break out in rebellion, hoping to board the "big ship" of Haierbo and become the lucky ones in the "new century".

But there is one thing, there is still a big problem in Maka's mind at this moment. He knows that Haierbo's strength cannot be underestimated, and he will definitely become stronger after completing the demon summoning operation.

But, can he really achieve what Delphi said?

However, even though there were thousands of thoughts in his mind, Maka did not ask more about it. Not to mention whether Delphi was hiding something, and the future situation was indeed very important, but this was not what he asked from the beginning.

.

"...Delphi."

Maka looked at the beautiful girl who seemed to be immersed in memories, with a hint of sadness in her expression, and suddenly said:

"I just want to ask about your life since childhood."

"I?"

Hearing this, Delphi suddenly opened his eyes and blinked, his blue pupils flashing with charming brilliance. Unfortunately, those eyes were more cold.

"In the beginning, it was Sister Cathy who took care of me...until I was eleven years old and before the castle of Blois was captured, I still lived there with my sisters."

The "Sister Cathy" in Delphine's mouth is naturally the little girl who lost her mother in the first London disaster.

Because she is very smart and far more mature and sensible than her peers, Maca entrusted her with the care of Delphi when she sent them to France.

Unexpectedly, after that, little Cathy really took care of Delphi as her own sister, and she took care of her for ten years.

"Fort Blois... was breached..."

Maka frowned slightly, looked directly at Delphi and asked:

"You all... where was I at that time?"

He originally wanted to ask Willy and others if everything was alright, but he couldn't find a way to ask directly. So in the end, he changed the subject and asked a question from the side.

"You?"

Delphi murmured expressionlessly.

"You are a great hero... You rushed over at the last moment and rescued Sister Weili and others... including me, back to the headquarters of the resistance army. Almost everyone is extremely grateful for your timely rescue."

But just as Maka breathed a sigh of relief, Delphi looked away and said calmly:

"But I couldn't do it, because at that time I just wanted to ask you why you couldn't rescue Sister Cathy together? Why couldn't you have arrived earlier?"

Until this moment, Delphi, who had been looking away since just now, suddenly turned his head and looked over.

"You know?" she said, "At that age, I had never hated anyone like that. Even Haierbo, to me as a child, was just an evil and terrifying person.

It's just a monster...but you are the first person who made me taste what hate feels like."

Delphi was not very excited when he said these words, and even his tone of voice seemed very calm.

But Maka could imagine that when a relative who took good care of her was ruthlessly taken away... or even fell lifeless in front of her, that was undoubtedly a terrible situation for a little girl who was only eleven years old.

A huge shock.

Faced with this moment of farewell, even an adult cannot bear it, let alone a child.

After that, both Maca and Delphi fell into silence again. Their thoughts may not be consistent, but they must be extremely depressing and heavy.

After a moment, Maka continued:

"So, what happens next?"

Delphi heard him speak again, but she didn't answer immediately. Seeing that she was still silent, she didn't know what she was thinking. After a while, she said succinctly and clearly:

"Because you saw the magic potential in me, and also knew that I had reached the stage of magic riot. So you took me with you and returned to the forefront of the resistance war... In those few years, you took me with you

We retreated from France to Switzerland, then from Switzerland to Italy, and finally crossed the Mediterranean Sea and retreated into Africa..."

She didn't mention a word about the specific things, but the retreat and retreat of the front was enough to vividly describe the bad situation at that time.

And that kind of life... is definitely extremely difficult for a child.

If what Delphi said was true, Maka could hardly imagine how she could have done such a cruel and unreliable thing at that time.

Could it be that he was driven crazy by the power of Haierbo?

But so far, Delphi had not finished speaking. She paused briefly and then continued:

"We stayed in Africa for a long time, and the front line was forced to become longer and longer. In the end, we were unable to sustain it and collapsed completely. You took me, and the only remaining people, to a small island in the middle of the Mediterranean. Because of my injuries,

And after resting for more than half a month, I returned to the new base of the resistance."

After hearing what Delphi said, Maka suddenly realized that she might have found the answer to a question.

Since Maka has never told anyone that Delphi's father is Voldemort, and he has already made up his mind to keep this secret in his stomach. Therefore, it is definitely impossible for him to reveal his true life experience.

Tell it to Delphi.

And probably at that time in the future, when he took the remaining men to take refuge on the isolated island of Rowena for more than half a month, Delphi himself discovered this secret.

After all, Voldemort's remnant soul has always been sealed in the magic tower on the island with a rune array.

But after thinking about it, Maka still didn't open his mouth to ask clearly, because he didn't even know how to talk to Delphi about this matter at the moment.

It must be said that Delphi destroyed all the time turners, thus almost ending his hope of rescuing Luna. This was obviously something he could not tolerate.

But after hearing about Delphi's difficult experiences...at least until he figured out whether the future was really what she said, he really couldn't let go of his anger towards the girl in front of him.

After thinking about it, Maka suddenly suppressed the annoyance in her chest and asked:

"What happens next?"

Delphi, who was reminiscing, suddenly glanced at him with a hidden complex look when he heard his questioning.

Then, I heard her say coldly with some unspeakable emotion:

"Then you disappear."

Disappeared? What does it mean?

Maka frowned and looked at Delphi's face with a hint of inquiry in her eyes. Although Delphi did not look at him, she seemed to have guessed his doubts and quickly added

:

"No one knows when you left, and no one knows where you went. For this reason, the entire resistance base is in chaos... I think you can guess that when the missing half

The leader who returned after a month has been lost again, which is an extremely heavy blow to all the surviving members."

Hearing this, before Maka had time to feel confused, she listened to Delphi and said:

"However, the chaos in the base did not last long. Because I soon discovered that almost everyone began to say that nothing would happen to you, and that you would not give up or escape. You just don't want to see everyone disappear one by one.

Sacrifice, so I decided to go to the center of the disaster alone for the last time."

Just as he was talking, Delphi looked at the mist beneath him, and then said:

"Yes, it's down here, London, England, which eventually became the center of Haierbo's rule, where everything started."

"So, what's the result?"
