"Mr. McClane, Mr. Lupine asked me to inform you that the transfer of the Diagon Alley camp to Spiral Town is almost over. He suggested waiting until nightfall... uh..."
The Auror entered the tent as he spoke, but before he could finish speaking, he was stunned by the scene in the tent.
At that moment, the first thing he saw was a corpse covered with white frost. Because the corpse was placed in the center of the tent, it was difficult for him not to see it.
And after that, he saw Maka again, who was sitting behind the desk busy.
"Well?"
Hearing the other party stop talking, Maka raised her head slightly and glanced at the other party.
"Oh... don't worry, it's just a spy sent by Haierbo..." He explained casually, and then said, "Why don't you tell Mr. Dean about the transfer? He will be the actual commanding person at that time, and I will be the most Just help ensure safety!"
"Ah... oh!" The other party then reacted and quickly looked away and said, "One of my colleagues has already spoken to the dean. As for you... In fact, it was Mr. Lu Ping who specifically told me to say It’s best to mention it to you too.”
Just as he was speaking, the other party suddenly added:
"Of course, that's if you're still in the camp."
Maka just listened and nodded quickly.
"Is there something he wants you to tell me?"
Lu Ping is not a person who likes to be long-winded, especially in today's uncertain times. Superfluous actions and words often make people think too much and even cause misunderstandings.
"Oh, yes..." The Auror seemed a little impressed by Maka's quick thinking, and he walked closer and nodded slightly, "Part of the protective measures in Spiral Town were built a long time ago. There are things left behind, and Mr. Lupine thinks it is necessary to replace them. However, the Ministry of Magic's files only retain the methods of use, but there is no disassembly and disassembly plan. He would like to ask you to help take a look."
When Maka heard this, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and said:
"How long does it mean 'a long time ago'? What are they?"
"Well, I'm not sure about that," the other party immediately shook his head and said, "I only heard a silent person from the Ministry of Magic mention that the magical statue in the center of the town seems to be more than just a statue. It's very possible that It was the centerpiece of a fortification—yet when others went to ask the statue, it said nothing."
"Magic statue?" Maka thought for a while and subconsciously said, "Is it alchemy?"
The Auror immediately shook his head again and said:
"have no idea."
After thinking about it casually for a while, Maka waved her hand and said:
"Okay, I know about this. I will go and take a look when the time comes... But why did Lupine ask you to tell me this? Isn't it the same thing if I don't tell you when I get there?"
"this-"
When the other party heard him asking this question, he couldn't help but paused hesitantly, and then said with a subtle expression:
"Although Mr. Lupin didn't say it, I think he might be... worried about where you went, that he won't be able to find you by then, or something like that?"
"Well," Maka pursed her lips and immediately shrugged innocently, "Okay! Maybe you guessed it right... But am I really that hard to find?"
"Yes," the Auror replied sincerely, "Everyone roughly summed it up during the break. So far, the chance of finding you in one go is less than 50%... so we sent Tonks over. , if I want to find you, please ask her first to avoid a wasted trip."
"Oh, how should I say...I'm sorry?"
Maka immediately apologized with a bit of laughter, but the other party immediately said:
"No, no, we can't afford this... Everyone actually understands that it is precisely because Mr. McClain that you have been running around for this disaster that it is so difficult to find... To be honest, even if we ran away in vain, we would still be there." I won’t feel unhappy.”
At the end of the sentence, he smiled and added:
"Oh, of course, some emergencies must be excluded... After all, there are some things that we can only ask for your help, sir. If we can't find you, we can only ask ourselves why we are so incompetent..."
The other party's words can actually be regarded as the key point, and regarding this point, even Maka has no better way in a short time.
Sometimes, "Who else would it be for me?" may make people feel proud, but if you think about it carefully, it really makes people unhappy.
"Don't say that."
Contained in this dry consolation is Maka's helplessness - unless he can despise human nature like Haierbo, perhaps he can also use the power of the Bewitching Monument to forcibly "create" a group of thugs with sufficient strength. , otherwise it can only rely on time to accumulate.
But what Hai Erbo has done has made the most lacking thing in the magic world today is "time".
"Okay, anyway, I will check Spiral Town's defense reserves one by one - including the magic statue you mentioned."
…
While Maka was talking to the Auror, the latter's companion had made it clear to the director of the camp, Mr. Dean of St. Mungo's, about the transfer of Spiral Town.
Not long after, the refugees in the entire camp were immediately mobilized and prepared for operations after nightfall.
As a result, Hermione and other friends also helped to survive. Some of the original St. Mungo's patients definitely needed help to be transferred there.
"Harry, Neville, when the time comes, these patients who are unable to appear may need you to escort them! Of course, they may also be sent to Maka personally... But no matter what, you must be prepared first."
Hermione was waving her wand to carry things and giving instructions to the two people not far away. She looked very busy.
"Oh, no problem!"
Harry and Neville looked at each other, then nodded.
"Then, Fred, George, and Percy... just stay with Uncle Weasley and the others! Tell your uncle and aunt to stop being busy and settle down first when you get there!"
"Hey, little Hermione, we're not too old to move yet!" Arthur, Ron's father, said with a smile, "Don't worry! There will be no problem with Molly and I. You guys need to take care of yourselves first." !”
After Arthur said this, Hermione couldn't help but shrugged, then turned her head and continued:
"Ron, don't be brave... Of course, I know you will guard Ginny, so I won't say anything more to you!"
There was a hint of teasing in his words, which made Ron feel a little embarrassed on his face, but soon he curled his lips and said with some self-deprecation:
"Okay, okay! I know what you want to say... Anyway, at least until I find a girlfriend, my most precious thing is Ginny."
"Shut up!"
Ginny on the side immediately raised her leg and stepped on his foot mercilessly.
