The windows one after another on one side of the corridor allow the afternoon sunlight to pass through silently, dividing the entire corridor into a space of light and darkness.
Coupled with the medieval architectural style of Chateau Blois, walking in it will always give people a wonderful sense of separation, as if they are traveling back and forth through time and space.
However, Maka will not have this illusion - because he knows very well that real time travel is never as easy and leisurely as this.
After a while, Maka finally reached the end of this straight corridor, and then turned into another corridor behind the corner with a wrong step.
Once here, there are no windows that can let in the sunlight. There are only doors and magic wall lamps placed in the corridor as the brightness gradually decreases.
However, after leaving the sun, Maka seemed to become more relaxed.
After all, although the magic light is not inferior to the sunlight, it can still illuminate the corridor brightly. But at least it doesn't have a reassuring temperature like the sun.
Yes, Maka doesn't like that cozy warmth at all now. Because although it makes people feel comfortable and comfortable, it is not something he is qualified to enjoy at the moment.
"Crack."
Just as Maka was halfway along the corridor, suddenly, Luna's door opened not far ahead. Immediately afterwards, Noah's chubby figure squeezed out of the door frame.
"Maka, are you here too?"
Ron followed Noah out. As soon as he saw Maka, he took the lead in saying hello.
"yes!"
Maka responded, but her eyes still stayed on Noah's body and did not move away. It can be seen that the fat man's face still had a vague expression of thinking at this moment, so that he obviously went out before Ron, but he didn't notice Maka's existence until Ron opened his mouth.
"What's wrong, Noah? What are you thinking about?"
Maka didn't stop and walked towards them as she spoke. After seeing Noah stunned for a moment and then shaking his head, he turned around and said:
"Are you ready to go downstairs?"
"Well," Ron nodded along with Maka's words, "I just brought Noah to visit Luna, and now I'm going to go with him to Percy to talk about alchemy. You know, Percy Now I really hope to find a path that suits me... Of course, I am the same!"
"Want to try alchemy?" Maka said clearly, "That's fine, I'll see you later!"
He waved his hand, then passed by the two of them, turned around and walked into the door they had just come out of. From beginning to end, Noah couldn't even say a word.
"Hey, man, what are you thinking about?"
"Oh no, it's nothing... I'm just thinking about what I want to tell you about later? Well... what do you think about starting with the 'Origin of the Four Elements'?"
"The four elements? Do you mean 'copper, tin, silver, gold'?"
"No! Those are the four common materials of crucibles... By the way, crucibles are often used in alchemy, but we can only use gold... Of course, if you are short of money, you can also use gold-plated ones... "
Soon, Noah and Ron went away with the sound of them talking to each other.
…
Regardless of the alchemy level of the fat young master, at least he has a very solid basic knowledge of alchemy after receiving the inheritance education of the Hohenheim family. Maka is not worried that he will destroy Ron and Peregrine. Xi was "taught bad".
As for whether the Weasley brothers have that talent in alchemy, Maka has no idea. After all, even he himself is not that familiar with this subject.
At the moment, he was just a little concerned about Noah's state just now - it was obvious that the guy had always looked worried after coming out of Luna's room.
"... Are you in trouble?"
Maka, who had just stepped into the room, just paused for a moment, then put her thoughts aside for the time being and smiled at Hermione and Hannah who were looking towards her.
"Is everything okay here? Nothing unusual happened?"
"No, no," Hermione gently closed the book that seemed to have just been opened and sat on the armchair next to the bed. "Except for not being able to wake up, everything is fine."
"Um."
Maka nodded slightly, and after glancing at Luna on the bed, she also sat down.
"I won't say any polite words like 'hard work'. I think you guys probably won't like to hear it. But... I just heard that you even did the cleaning with your own hands?"
"This will at least make us feel more at ease," Hermione looked at Hannah, who was making tea in front of the fireplace, and said softly, "Of course, the maid at Blois Castle may be more beautiful than the two of us combined. Do better - you know, we just want to do it ourselves, just to make ourselves feel better."
Hannah has always been Luna's good friend. Although the two belong to different houses at Hogwarts, their personalities and temperaments are somewhat similar. There is nothing strange about doing something trivial like this for a sleeping good friend.
As for Hermione, her life was "saved" by Luna, obviously not to mention it.
"All right!"
Maka shrugged slightly, and was about to change the subject and say something else, so that Hermione and Hannah's hearts would not be so tense all the time. But who knew, before he could speak again, Hermione, who was sitting on the other side of the bed, spoke first:
"Maka, regarding the Hogwarts Castle thing you mentioned just after lunch, can you tell me more specifically?"
For Hogwarts, which has been with everyone for nearly six years, suddenly collapsed overnight, Hermione and the others may be more shocked and sad than Maka. After all, if we really want to calculate it carefully, they who have been studying and living in school will definitely spend longer than Maka in Hogwarts.
So to be honest, Maka didn't want to describe last night's situation in too much detail.
However, as students of Hogwarts, Hermione and the others obviously have the right to know more clearly about the destruction of the school.
Maka looked back and forth on the faces of the two girls, and when he saw that Hannah, who was usually timid, nodded seriously, he smiled bitterly, and then repeated his battle with the meteorite and Haierbo. Said it carefully.
This narration took a lot of time. By the time he said that he had left the ruins of the castle and came to Blois Castle, he had already drank two cups of the black tea that Hannah had cooked.
However, it was obvious that it would be impossible to mention anything to Hermione and the others about the Hufflepuff Chamber of Secrets and the mysterious stone box he found.
"Okay, I've drank the tea, and the matter has been explained clearly..." Maka suddenly put down the teacup and said, "Then, you should go down and relax with everyone first! I want to check Luna again."
