"Okay, that's all done!"
When Hermione carved the last line on the last stone slab, she pulled everyone to work quickly to make the magic text array stone slabs. Finally, they were all finished.
Since this set of formation diagrams and the one Maka asked her to make at Hogwarts are from the same drawing, I believe that the debugging will become smoother because of the corresponding experience. This will be helpful for the current urgent situation. That's undoubtedly good news.
"The next step is to arrange these magic tablets according to the drawings... Just like we did in school before, Luna and I will lead our own people and act separately. Ginny-"
"etc."
Hermione was talking when she suddenly saw Luna standing up, waving her hands, and said excitedly:
"No, everyone just needs to help move all the slates to the central square, and leave the rest to me! All the slates can be put in place with just a 'swish'... a 'swish'!"
…
Just over ten minutes after Luna volunteered to place all the slates by herself, the runic slates that Hermione and others had transported to the square were really under the control of Luna, who was integrated with the mercury statue. , flying towards the sky above the town like water droplets ejected from the spring.
Needless to say, such a conspicuous scene attracted many people in the town. Among them was Delphi, who had been sitting by the window looking out in trance.
"That's... the rune tablet?"
Looking at the stone slabs flying across the air and flying to various locations in the town, Delphi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Could it be Dad... No, he has already made all the defensive preparations he should make?" She thought doubtfully, "But if it weren't for Dad, who else here could do this easily? "
Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly seemed to remember something and said "Ah" suddenly.
"It's that alchemy statue! There is enough magic power there to support it. Even if your mental strength is a little weak, you can still rely on magic power to support it... So, is it Miss Lovegood?"
When thinking of Luna, Delphi suddenly remembered something again and couldn't help falling into silence again.
She still remembered that Maka had asked her for something before... an important thing that could not be said to others casually. That thing was to take Luna, Hermione and others and protect them to escape from the secret passage in Spiral Town when necessary.
Yes, Delphi thought this matter would not be difficult. Because even if Haierbo appeared in person, with such a large number of refugees in Spiral Town, it would not be easy to discover her actions immediately. It would still be no problem for her to escape from a secret passage that no one knew about. of.
However, looking at it now, the word "no problem" can probably only be said to Delphi at that time - she can no longer do it now.
"Miss Lovegood and the others are probably making final defense preparations for this town, right?" Delphi looked at the general direction of the central square and couldn't help but whispered, "In other words, the enemy will be coming soon. .”
As soon as she said this, she suddenly reached out and grabbed the wand placed on the coffee table in front of her, and held the handle tightly.
"Let's not mention the things on the front line. I still have to do what I promised my father personally... Yes, I have to go, and I will go now."
Before he finished speaking, Delphi stood up from the chair, held the wand and looked out the window again, then turned around and ran out of the room quickly.
…
"Luna, can you even do this?"
While Delphi was still on her way to the square, Luna, who had entered the Mercury Statue, had already accurately placed the magic tablets in their predetermined positions.
And just when Hermione and others were marveling at this, everyone saw the statue suddenly raise its hand, and a beam of light immediately shot straight into the sky, followed by two layers of magic shields that suddenly flashed over the town. .
Obviously, one layer is the original protective magic of Spiral Town that has been strengthened by Maka's hand, and the other layer is the new magic shield made by everyone.
Even though the new shield will definitely be relatively fragile, in any case, more protective power will make everyone feel more at ease.
Not long after, Luna took another step out of the mercury statue, and then jumped off the base of the statue lightly. Hermione couldn't help but glance at the statue one more time, and then she pulled Luna and her friends back together.
"It seems that Luna, the only one who can enter this statue, must be protected! Neville, if the zombie army really comes to attack the town, don't go anywhere, just stay here and be responsible for guarding Luna. Hannah and the statue..." Hermione said seriously, then paused for a moment, "Well, Hannah can stay here too! With Neville."
"I see."
After that impulsive lesson in the underground corridor, Neville seemed to have finally regained his composure. After hearing Hermione's task assignment, he understood the reason and immediately responded.
Immediately afterwards, Hannah, who was following Neville, nodded slightly.
"Then," Hermione saw this, she immediately continued, "Ginny, you should stay in the observation room until then! Together with Ron... When you go back later, remember to talk to Ron too. "
After explaining to Ginny, she moved her gaze to the side and looked at the next person.
"As for Percy—"
Not sure if she was embarrassed to say so, but Hermione couldn't help but pause. But soon, she heard Percy shake his head at her, and with a little regret and more calmness on his face, he spoke proactively:
"I'll forget it! I'll go gather with the other refugees in a while. Even if I'm assigned a task, I won't be able to do it. It might even delay things!"
"Percy."
Seeing him say this, Ginny was obviously a little sentimental. But before she could say anything more, she heard a rush of footsteps gradually coming from a certain direction, causing everyone to subconsciously turn their heads and look over.
"Delphi?"
After seeing clearly who the figure appeared from the corner of the square, the first reaction of all the friends was basically just to say hello, except Hermione who seemed quite surprised.
"You... why are you here?" Hermione looked at Delphi running this way and asked in confusion, "How is the situation on the front line? Wait, is it possible... the enemy has already arrived?"
This sentence can make the hearts of the friends jump suddenly - if it really comes so soon, then there must be another big problem! Otherwise, why would the group of living corpses that had just left Dartford have crossed the remaining two-thirds of the way and come directly to Canterbury
Fortunately, after hearing this, Delphi immediately waved her hand to deny Hermione's particularly scary guess.
"No, it's not what you think."
