The news of the destruction of Hogwarts Castle finally made everyone feel quite depressed, so that after Maka finished speaking, the friends still sat at the dining table and did not move.

In the end, it was Maka who urged everyone to leave the restaurant one after another.

"By the way, Maka...where's that lady? Is it...Delphi?"

When Maka was about to follow them out, Neville, who was walking in front of him, suddenly recalled the beautiful witch who had spoken a few words with him in the central square of Spiral Town. Because the other party's appearance was really quite similar.

Outstanding, so even though Neville has always been unable to deal with girls like that, he still firmly remembers her appearance.

However, just when Maka was about to answer casually, little Cathy and Helen who were walking in front suddenly stopped and turned around.

"Delphi?"

Helen subconsciously looked down. In her arms, little Delphi, who had just eaten, was grabbing her front and yawning in a daze.

"Oh, it just happens to be the same name!" Maka smiled at the two of them, "She is a friend of mine and a beautiful girl... Well, maybe she does look a bit like our little Delphi!"

While opening her mouth to deal with it, Maka also gave everyone a small dose of "vaccination", and then said casually to the person:

"Since she didn't come to Blois Castle with us, she naturally went to that neighborhood with the other refugees! She is working with Lupin over there to help people settle down!"

Hearing Maka say this, Hermione, who was walking with Ginny next to her, also turned around and took over the conversation apologetically:

"Originally, I was supposed to go, but I wanted to stay here and take care of Luna. She may have sensed my thoughts, so she took the initiative to find me and said she was going on my behalf."

Although Hermione said so, Maca knew that there were at least two reasons why Delphi decided not to come to Blois Castle.

One of them is, of course, the constraints of time rules.

Even if Maka has eliminated Delphi's biggest risk of going back in time, her head is full of false memories. Even if she directly meets her childhood self, it will not trigger the intervention of the power of the rules of time.

But even so, her contact with her "past self" may still have some unpredictable limits. It is precisely because of the unknown that she needs to be more vigilant, right?

As for the other reason... In fact, if you think about it, you will know that when a person realizes that he is very likely to face another person, the complicated mood cannot be explained in a few words.

Maka glanced at little Delphi in Haierbo's arms a few more times, then waved her hand and said:

"Hermione, don't always take everything you've encountered on yourself. You can't bear the responsibility alone. This will only make you more and more tired and miserable!"

Hearing this, Hermione couldn't help but glance at him again, pursed her lips and whispered:

"Are you talking about yourself?"

"Hey!"

Maka spread her hands, then faced everyone walking in the corridor, including her, and replied with a smile:

"I'm not alone! And I never have been."

While they were talking, everyone finally walked through the long corridor and arrived at the foyer on this side of the castle. At this moment, the sound of slightly faster footsteps suddenly came from the courtyard outside, from far to near.

Came over.

As soon as those friends who were familiar with Blois Castle heard this voice, they immediately understood that the person coming was definitely not a member of the Blois family.

Because they knew that no one in the Blois family, including the servants here, would let their footsteps sound so rapid and obvious.

"Squeak"

Of course, Maka had already noticed the opponent's magic power fluctuations, and saw him wave his hand casually, and the door of the foyer not far away suddenly opened in response.

Then, everyone saw a familiar figure walking in quickly from outside.

"Maka, I'm back."

"Oh! Thank you for your hard work. Did you use your lunch at the Queen's place?"

Maka asked him casually while greeting him, and then immediately signaled to her friends that they could go ahead. They were about to go to Luna's room to visit her again!

Seeing that Maka said there was no need to wait for him, everyone couldn't help but paused for a moment, and then turned around and left one after another as he wanted.

"Well, after talking with the Prime Minister and Mr. Davidson for a while in the morning, the Queen asked me to have lunch there again. Originally, she wanted to invite me to have afternoon tea, but I really had no intention of staying there any longer.

After all, you know, I have already told them everything that needs to be said..."

While Kingsley was talking to Maka, Maka also led him back a little way. After the two of them met a maid waiting aside in the corridor, Maka said softly to her.

He waved lightly.

"Go and inform the head of the family that Mr. Shacklebolt has arrived from the Queen of England."

Having said that, Maka reached for the hall door next to the maid. Blois Castle was too big, and most of the family members with the surname "Blois" were away in charge of daily affairs.

The rooms near the restaurant are basically used as large and small halls for entertaining guests.

Obviously, Maca seems to have no problem choosing any one, but...

"Well?"

Maka's hand when pushing the door suddenly stopped on the doorknob, because he found that someone was already inside. Moreover, the other party's magic wave not only almost escaped his perception, but also made him feel a little familiar.

.

After thinking with a slight frown, Maka unscrewed the door handle and led Kingsley in.

"Noah?"

As soon as she entered the door, Maka saw a big fat man sitting on the sofa on the side of the living room. He looked a little restless, as if he was worried about something.

When he heard someone calling his name at the door, the fat man quickly straightened his back, and then he dared to turn his head cautiously and look here.

"M-Maka? Oh...it's really you! I thought Mr. Blois was here! I was scared to death!"

Maka saw him stand up immediately, shaking his body and running towards her. She immediately waved her hand and motioned towards the sofa where he was sitting.

"Just sit there, I'll be there soon!" he said. "By the way, Mr. Blois will be here soon."

Yes, this fat man Maka knows. He is the young master of the Hohenheim family, an alchemy family in the Swiss magical world. He is also the nominal "brother" of the alchemical life Sarah Hohenheim.

Therefore, Maka has actually guessed why the fat man came to Blois Castle today... He did not come to see Mr. Blois, but made a special trip to see him, Maka McClain.
