Mysterious Walker at Hogwarts

Chapter 279 A mysterious bet

"Should I know this?" Dean felt that Delphi was simply baffled.

"Theoretically it shouldn't be." Delphi smiled, "But you are a famous prophet with unpredictable prophetic abilities, so I thought you predicted everything."

Dean rolled his eyes secretly. In fact, most of his so-called prediction ability came from the original works he had read. When he encountered a plot like this that had never appeared in the original works, his eyes darkened.

Of course, he can also rely on the prophetic illusion ability brought by Prokos's robe, but unfortunately so far he has not found a way to make this ability work at any time.

"It's not a good thing to know too much about the future. When I realized this, I started to control the number of predictions." Dean explained self-deprecatingly.

"I see." Delphi showed a look of realization, "So I still have a chance~"

"What do you mean?" Dean looked at Delphi in confusion.

"Your wisdom combined with your terrifying prophecy ability is simply impeccable. It would be unfortunate to be your enemy. Now that you have begun to actively limit your prophecy ability, doesn't it mean that your enemies have a chance to defeat you?" Delphi said with a full face. Said excitedly.

"You mean you're going to be my enemy?" Dean heard something.

"You forced me to do this! Who asked you to steal the time turner." Delphi said angrily.

"I can give it back to you!" Dean immediately took out the time turner and threw it to Delphi.

"What do you mean?" Delphi didn't expect Dean to give up the time turner so simply. She was a little confused for a moment and didn't know what his intention was.

"You told me clearly that there were traps on it, so wouldn't it be silly for me to insist on using it?" Dean shook his head and said, "Since I can't use it, why should I keep it on me? Give you a tool to monitor me?"

"How do you know there's tracking magic on it?" Delphi couldn't help blurting out.

"Don't think I'm so easy to deal with." Dean smiled, "Wouldn't it be too embarrassing if I couldn't even discover this bit of magic?"

Delphi's eyes flashed: "It seems that this tracking magic is not as easy to use as the legend says!"

"This tracking magic is indeed good, but it's not good enough for me to use." Dean also secretly broke into a cold sweat.

If Quirrell hadn't used the same tracking magic on a Galleon, allowing him to activate this magic in the magic talent system, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been easy for him to discover that this magic was also cast on the time turner.

"I was careless." Delphi accepted the failure calmly.

The real purpose of her previous stunts was to keep the time turner with Dean so that she could keep track of Dean's movements at any time. Unfortunately, this plan did not work.

"But you also let me down a little bit." Delphi continued unwillingly, "Even if there is a trap on the time turner, I thought you would find an opportunity to study it carefully, and then find a way to break the trap. After all, this is your return to the original era. The only way. It's a pity that you gave up so easily."

"That was indeed my original plan, but then I figured something out." Dean smiled. "Even if I wanted to stay in this era forever, as a historical revisionist, I'm afraid you wouldn't agree. After all, I am The longer an unknown unstable factor stays here, the more likely it is to bring unknown changes to history, which will undoubtedly greatly increase your workload."

"So I can do nothing. As long as I wait patiently, you will eventually take the initiative to send me back, right?" Dean's answer made Delphi's nose angry. He was absolutely right!

"Then quickly complete your mission in this era and go back to the original era!" Delphi said viciously.

"Then you have to tell me first, what is the mission in this era?" Dean asked, he wanted to know whether Delphi's mission and the system mission are the same?

"What makes you think I will tell you?" Delphi's mouth was quite strict.

"I don't care, but if you have a goal, it's easier to achieve than running around without a clue."

"It's a very powerful argument, but unfortunately it's not enough for me to tell you the truth. Just explore it yourself!" Delphi said gruffly.

"Then I'm sorry. If my future actions unintentionally increase your workload, you'll be asking for it~" Dean said with a smile.

"Let's... let's make a bet!" Delphi bit her lip, but still couldn't hold it back.

"What bet?" Dean asked with interest.

"I know that you have copied a copy of "Primary Principles for the Defense of the Church's Faith." How about a bet on this?"

"What kind of bet?" Dean raised his eyelids.

"We will each go back and study the Codex. Whoever understands the study will go and return the Codex to Du Plessis." Delphi said, "Whoever returns the Codex first will win!"

"Why do you think you understand the research?" Dean felt that Delphi's conditions were too vague.

"Knowing what this manuscript is about - our understanding must be confirmed by Du Plessis himself," Delphi said.

"Well, this is a bit difficult." Dean said thoughtfully.

Throughout the ages, there has been no shortage of readers misinterpreting the author's original intention in any book, so this bet was not easy, but Dean felt that there was no reason for him to lose to Delphi.

"What's the stakes?" Dean asked.

"If I win, then you will disappear from my eyes for a while - at least for half a year, I don't want to find you anywhere in Europa." Delphi said without hesitation.

Dean looked calm on the surface, but he couldn't help but feel nervous: If nothing unexpected happened, he would soon leave Europa with Aesop on the Mayflower and go to the New World. It would take almost half a year to go back and forth.

Delphi's bet coincides with his next trip. What does it mean?

"What if you lose?" Dean asked calmly.

"Then I will tell you all the information I know about the SL rally. Fair enough, right?" Delphi smiled.

"No, it's not fair at all. No matter you win or lose, you won't lose anything, but if I lose, I will have to leave Europa for at least half a year - won't my existence hinder you? What do you want to do by sending me away? What are you going to do?" Dean asked in a dangerous tone.

"I didn't expect you to be so unconfident that you actually thought you would lose!" Delphi said excitedly.

"The problem is that it doesn't mean much if I win. Even if you don't need to tell me, sooner or later I will be able to find out the secret of the SL rally myself." Dean said arrogantly.

"I don't deny that you have this ability...Okay, I admit that I just want to find an excuse to tell you the information about the SL rally, okay?" Delphi said.

"Why do you have to find an excuse? Just tell me and it's over?" Dean wondered.

"Because you didn't take the initiative at all! I originally thought that after taking out the box, you would ask me for information about the SL gathering, but unfortunately you didn't! Your arrogance made you lose the opportunity to easily obtain this information!" Delphi suddenly became angry. He said: "I also have self-respect. Since you took the initiative to choose a difficult path, let's wait until you win this bet!"

Dean touched his nose awkwardly. Did he do something wrong?
