"Bill, Arthur and Molly are all helping to resettle the refugees there! Go and see them quickly! Ever since they came out to look for your twin brothers, they have never been able to find a chance to go back... Now that you are here,

At least I can go and accompany them."

Behind the bar of the Leaky Cauldron, Lupine stopped what he was doing for a moment and spoke to Bill Weasley, who was walking towards this side from the door.

On the other side, after hearing Lupin's words, Bill walked around the long table in the middle and stared in slight surprise.

"Fred and George? What happened to them?"

Obviously, Bill, who had just returned to London not long ago, was not aware of Fred and George's little accident. However, Lupine understood this, and when he asked about it, he quickly explained:

"Actually, when the fog first rose, they happened to be in Diagon Alley with their newlyweds. So once the fog was delayed, and the enemy came, they couldn't get back in time... Well, don't worry, later on

They know St. Mungo's, and the news came pretty quickly."

"Oh, I seem to have missed a lot of things." After Bill heard this, he felt relieved and came to the bar. "I know, I will go over to see my mother in a while... But before that, there is something I need to do

Let me tell you first."

"Is it Charlie's business?" Lu Ping heard this and immediately picked up a report and shook it a few times, "A target as big as a Norwegian Ridgeback, even if there is fog everywhere in the city, there will always be someone who can

What I saw was that I didn’t expect that you just came back!”

"That's right," Bill said, sitting down on the high stool in front of the bar. "I was also shocked when I saw Charlie riding a dragon. Of course, there is actually another more important thing.

Charlie and I put the matter together and borrowed the Quidditch Museum to build a third shelter, so I'm mainly here to borrow people this time..."

Due to the scale of this disaster, there are only two refuge points, which are indeed not enough. Not to mention that St. Mungo's is already overcrowded. Even here in Diagon Alley, the pressure when accepting refugees has become

getting bigger.

After all, almost everyone in London will be in crisis this time. Facing the powerful combat power of those troublesome mad wizards and black-eyed collectors, ordinary wizards are not even much different from the Muggle people. Anyway, the spells of ordinary strength,

It is indeed difficult to pose any threat to those difficult enemies.

To be honest, thanks to Haierbo, this is the first time that most wizards and wizards feel that they are actually so "close" to Muggles!

And just as Lupine and Bill were seriously discussing the arrangements at the museum, on another high stool not far from the two of them, Maka, who was in an invisible state, was also sitting there leaning against the bar.

In his hand, his staff, which was also invisible, was leaning against his body. Only he could see a stone ball with a faint red light.

At the next moment, when they heard Bill and the others talking about Harry's proposal and how Charlie and Harry finally teamed up to fight together, the invisible Maka suddenly shook her finger in the direction of the door.

Immediately afterwards, Bill and Lupine heard a "plop la la" noise coming from outside.

"owl?"

"Well, there may be new news."

As the two were talking, an Auror guard soon ran in with a small roll of paper that had not yet been opened and delivered it to the bar.

"Remus, here!"

After the guard handed the note to Lupine, he grabbed a handful of chocolate beans from the plate on the bar, waved his hand, and ran out again without looking back.

"These guys, knowing that they don't need money, will grab a handful of anyone who passes by!"

Lupine complained with a chuckle, unfolded the note, glanced at it, and then handed it to Bill opposite.

"It just so happens that it's about Harry and Charlie, look!" he said happily, "Don't worry, they have solved two big troubles for everyone. Before Maka and Haierbo can officially take action, this situation depends on

The two of them have stabilized!"

Obviously, although Bill, like Charlie, finally agreed to Harry's proposal, in his heart, he was still very worried about the strange abilities of the black-eyed wizards. He and Charlie had already experienced it personally.

And this time, the piece of information that Maka sent deliberately made Bill, who was still worried, feel relieved again.

"Yes!" He carefully read the brief message on the note, then nodded and said, "This message is very important. When I go back to the museum later, I can pass it on to everyone who is feeling depressed right now.

In such an atmosphere, this will definitely lift everyone’s spirits.”

While Lupine at the bar also agreed with this, Maka, who was not far away, lowered his head and glanced at the staff. He confirmed that his behavior did not cause any reaction on the stone ball above.

"Really?"

Seeing this, Maka couldn't help but understand.

There is no doubt that his small action just now also affected the "facts". However, even if he did not do this, the news would still reach Lupine and Bill through other people's intelligence.

While certain things have actually changed, the future will not change, which will not trigger the intervention and interference of the rules of time.

In fact, this is equivalent to how Maka deceived others and herself, and finally quietly saved the lives of all members of Hogwarts, but this time the scale involved became very small.

However, this test was of great significance to Maka because he once again confirmed that the results he had studied without the stone ball as a reference were indeed correct.

Therefore, this tells him another thing. The so-called "limit" that triggers the convergence of time rules may not lie in the impact of a certain change on the future, but only in how many changes are "witnessed"

of.

For example, if Maka goes back to the past and is confirmed to have two of him existing at the same time, then this contradiction will most likely cause the correction of the time rules; and if no one sees it, even if he blatantly communicates with the past

Standing back to back, all he needed to do was prevent himself from being discovered by his other self.

Even as long as he can deceive his past self into believing that he is not Maca McClain, then the matter of two identical versions of him standing face to face can be established.

"So... as long as you strictly abide by the time rules, it can actually be extremely tolerant?"

Maka sat on a high stool, gently stroking the staff in her hand, thinking to herself.

Yes, he has obtained a lot of information from these tests, and has gradually explored some possibilities of time rules.

But, after all, this is just his conjecture.

In fact, he also knew in his heart that the depth of the third-level rules must be beyond his imagination at present. Not to mention that there must be fallacies in these things he has speculated at the moment, they are probably just some superficial knowledge about the time rules.

If possible, he really wanted to communicate a few more words with the "future self" who could forcefully appear in front of him and talk to him... You know, according to his current inference, that would be completely impossible.

It is an act that violates the rules of time!

Thinking about how Haierbo actually made such a big fight in order to touch the "Rule of Death" which is also a third-level rule, this is enough to explain that the "future Maka McClain" who had never had time to say a few words to him

"How powerful it is.

Corresponding to this...

Maka suddenly felt that she was increasingly unable to figure out the "Suddenly Selfish Dumbledore". What path was the old man walking on the boundary between life and death taking?

"That's the real genius..."

Secretly curling his lips, Maka stopped thinking about it. After all, Dumbledore obviously had nothing to do with what was currently troubling him. What's more, by now, he had already given up complaining about the man who had left a lot of mess to him.

My own unscrupulous old man.

Now, Maka, who had confirmed another test result, suddenly got down from the high stool, maintained his invisible state and walked straight to the door.

There was still a little more than half of the test time left for him, and he wanted to use this time to do a longer test at the end.

If he could get some ideal results from it, then he might not have to turn the time turner again and continue to do this kind of experiment that is just dangling on the edge of danger.

You only have one life, no matter who you are. Even if someone can live forever, the dead will definitely not survive. In this regard, it is estimated that even if Haierpo masters the rules of death, he will not be able to make an exception.

"...No, who knows?"

Maka, who had just left the Leaky Cauldron, couldn't help but shake her head slightly, and then walked towards the distance of the street step by step.
