"Are you... Miss Hohenheim?"
When Hermione saw a cute little girl standing at the gate of the camp waving to her, she couldn't help but be slightly startled - although she hadn't seen her for a while, she was obviously no stranger to this girl.
"Oh, Sister Hermione, please just call me 'Sarah' - long time no see!" the little girl said, casually pushing the arm of the guard in front of her aside, and ran happily In front of Hermione, "I heard that you need help here, so I came... In fact, many people are also discussing coming to help you! For example, the Weasley family Uncle, aunt and others... are you okay?"
"Well, of course, it's not bad!"
Hermione responded, slightly lowering her head and smiling at the other person.
"I didn't expect you to come too... Come on, come in! With you here to help, I feel much more at ease!"
Obviously, Hermione would never dare to neglect this little girl - despite her appearance, she is a cute and pitiful child. I remember Maka said at the beginning that she is actually equivalent to an experienced alchemist.
Thinking back to the time at St. Mungo's Hospital of Witchcraft and Wizardry in London, it was she who used an alchemical formation to trap Halbo, who had recovered a certain amount of strength, for a whole night. This shows that her level of alchemy is quite astonishing in this era.
"Sarah, are you living safely in that neighborhood? In order to ensure your concealment during this period, we have not dared to contact you. In fact, everyone has been secretly worried."
"No problem," Sarah heard and nodded as she walked, "Nothing dangerous happened to Mr. Blois after he sent someone to send us there. Mrs. Weasley said she was a bit I’ve gained weight!”
This sounds funny, but in fact it is obviously just a joke - as long as Ron and Ginny are still facing the threat of Haier outside, how can the Weasleys as parents feel relieved? Not to mention gaining weight, it would be good if I can stop losing weight.
However, Sarah and Hermione laughed and comforted each other while the other couldn't bear to point it out. Neither of them expressed their worries. It wasn't until Hermione took Sarah back to the tent and arranged for her to sit down and rest that she couldn't help but sigh:
"As long as there are no attacks or harassments over there, I'll be relieved."
Sarah was sitting on a back chair that was not much shorter than her. When she heard Hermione say this, she finally couldn't help but nodded slightly, and the original innocent smile on her face became much weaker.
"The Blois family has done a good job in keeping that community secret. During the time we lived there, we have basically integrated into the environment. Although worry and anxiety are certainly unavoidable, at least we live in peace. This time When I left, I also deliberately left an alchemy formation that can be activated at any time, which can be used to protect everyone who stays there in critical moments."
She said seriously, and finally looked at the camp outside and said:
"If you want to say there is danger, it has to be on your side, right?"
Regarding Sarah's statement, Hermione really couldn't deny it. Even if she really wanted to make a joke in the light tone of the other party just now, to be honest, she couldn't do it.
Today, instead of getting better, the entire situation is continuing to get worse. Many people no longer have the energy to pretend to be relaxed. And among them, Hermione was included.
After sitting down and learning more about the state of the community from Sarah, and chatting about a few not-so-interesting "interesting things", Hermione finally got back to the topic and said:
"Sarah, since you're here... Although I'm a little sorry that I need your help, maybe you can't start designing a protective alchemy array for me now? The area doesn't have to be as large as the original St. Mungo's Big, just enough to cover a camp as big as this.”
When Sarah heard this, she immediately nodded and said:
"Set up a formation for this camp? Of course—"
"Oh no," Hermione said hurriedly, "It's not this camp, but another camp in Weymouth Port, England... In fact, if you hadn't showed up in time today, I would have continued there tomorrow. More manpower has been deployed - although it is also a camp used to transport survivors, it is located in the fog and is much more important than here... and it obviously has to face more dangers. "
"Well," Sarah nodded again after hearing this, "Okay... But, is there a layout plan for that camp? The alchemy array is different from the magic array, and it needs to be designed based on the advantages and disadvantages of the environment. ... There are some magical things in that camp, please tell me in as much detail as possible."
"Well, I'll draw it for you right now."
Hermione also didn't know much about alchemy. After all, Hogwarts didn't offer alchemy classes. In fact, due to the downturn of modern alchemy, it is difficult to find professors who can truly teach people.
In fact, even Beauxbatons in France, which gave birth to a great alchemy master like Nicolas Flamel, does still offer alchemy, but what it can actually teach students is quite limited.
"When Hogwarts resumes classes in the future, I will definitely ask Professor McGonagall to open an alchemy course, and then ask you to be the professor."
While holding a pen and drawing at the desk, Hermione couldn't help but said casually.
However, Sarah, who was sitting not far across from her, shook her head slightly inexplicably when she lowered her head to draw.
Even though few people know about it, Maka has never told her true identity at will, but she has never forgotten what "thing" she is - she, Sarah Hohenheim, is not a person, but a An artificial human, and even a defective product.
"I hope!" Sarah was silent for a moment, and then whispered, "I hope such a beautiful day can come as soon as possible."
Naturally, Hermione didn't know Sarah's actual situation. When she heard the other party's emotion, she thought she was looking forward to the end of this disaster. So, she couldn't help but nodded, looked up at the other person and said:
"Yes, everyone is looking forward to it and everyone is working hard."
Seeing Hermione smiling towards her, Sarah raised the corners of her lips and responded with a more familiar smile.
Even though... her long life was even more miserable than that of Weili, she had never tasted what joy was like.
"alright."
Not long after, Hermione placed the parchment with the layout of the camp at Weymouth Harbor in front of Sarah.
"Just take a look at it first! I just remembered that I have to go to the tent next door to take a look. I'll be back soon... If you have any questions, just ask me later."
"good."
Sarah picked up the drawing and then watched Hermione leave from the tent door, an unknown look flashing vaguely in her deep eyes.
