"Is there anything wrong there?"
As soon as Harry and the others returned to the eastern defense line, Ron immediately asked.
"It's nothing?" Harry shrugged, "The sound you heard is probably the sound of those alchemy dolls fighting! If there is anything abnormal, it seems that their fighting enthusiasm is much stronger - Lu Na said it might be because Miss Hohenheim has finished setting up the protective alchemy array and has her hands free."
"Is that so?"
Ron scratched his head and thought for a moment. After looking at each other with Hannah and Neville next to him, he could only nod his head and said:
"Maybe... After all, I only heard some noises from a distance, and these black flame wizards didn't have any special reaction."
After saying this, he turned around and said:
"That's right! Since Miss Hohenheim may have already arranged the protective formation, I'll go back and confirm it first! With you here watching, it doesn't seem to matter if I have one more and one less."
Before he finished speaking, Ron quickly withdrew from the defense line, took out the broomstick with his backhand, straddled it, and suddenly flew into the air.
"Don't fly too high, be careful of attracting flying ones." Seeing this, Harry couldn't help but remind him, "Mr. Blois and Miss Geoffrey are not here, so it will be troublesome for us to deal with them!"
"learn-"
Ron waved his hand behind him, then lowered his height even lower and accelerated towards the Burrow.
Watching him fly away, Harry withdrew his gaze and turned to look in the direction outside the defense line.
In fact, since the attack methods of those black flame wizards are basically to control the soul flame, the view out here is somewhat blocked. But there is no way, because the number of living corpses has been gradually increasing in the past two days, and the east side has become an area that requires close monitoring.
What's more, Safina and Mr. Blois also set off from this direction in the morning. Fortunately, there is no fog blocking the sight now. It is obviously necessary to use your own eyes to pay attention to the changes in the distance.
"If this continues, the group of living corpses may become denser again in a few days, right?" Ginny was also watching from afar, unable to help but worry.
But... of course, what she was worried about now was definitely not the number of living corpses. Even these individuals with different levels of evolution in front of them will not become too big a problem with the strength of Safina and Mr. Blois.
The key is that the growth and activity of the number of living corpses in a certain area often means that the so-called "demon"... may appear again.
And this is the most important reason why Safina and Blois will extend their exploration route again in the past two days.
"Hmm... I'm afraid they won't come back at noon today." Harry said as he looked at the movements of the zombies in the distance and thought to himself.
…
Speaking of which, Hermione's group of companions who recently settled here at the Burrow actually have a very different perception of time.
People who are responsible for going out to fight often feel that every day passes very quickly. Fighting hard on the battlefield all day long requires constant concentration, and usually you don't feel the passage of time at all. After returning to the Burrow in the evening, they ate a simple dinner in a hurry, summarized the results of the battle and exchanged observed information, and then naturally fell asleep.
But people like Hermione who are responsible for staying behind, or who have their turn to watch at night, will feel that every minute and every second becomes extremely clear. While we clearly feel that we are in danger all the time, we will inevitably worry about all kinds of people and things in the silence with a sense of urgency.
He even often feels deeply guilty for his own powerlessness.
Obviously, although it is definitely not easy for the partners who are fighting outside, Hermione and others who stay here at the Burrow are actually having a very difficult time every day.
Another half day has passed, and the sky outside is still hazy. However, the brilliance of the day has gradually faded, and the drowsiness that represents the night is coming from the east again.
At noon, in order to confirm whether Sarah had really come down from the attic as Luna suspected, Ron came back and had lunch here - people who usually go out usually go out early at noon. I just took dry food and settled it outside beforehand.
And now, he, who went out in the afternoon to continue fighting on the defensive line, has returned with everyone.
However, the problem is that Safina and Blois have not returned yet, which is really worrying.
"The two of them have been returning on time in the past few days. Even if the route is lengthened today, it must be a bit strange that they haven't returned yet." Harry said with a slight frown.
"Yeah." Hermione also nodded.
Although food was already placed on the table, no one took it to eat, even though they were actually very hungry.
After a short pause, she continued:
"However, it should be fine. We all know the strength of Miss Geofine and Mr. Blois, don't we?"
"Indeed," Sarah said while sitting sideways on the sofa, looking at the scenery outside the window not far away, "Moreover, the two people took different routes and returned home late at the same time while they were separated. Not much. So, I think they probably got together on the way for some reason."
At this point, Sarah turned her head again, looked at everyone and said:
"And the combat power that the two of them can achieve when they are together, I am afraid that even if they meet Haierbo himself, at least one of them can come back."
"Herbo himself?"
Because this possibility is not impossible, or in fact, this possibility has always existed. Even though that guy seems to have disappeared completely recently, it doesn't seem to be an incredible thing at all if he suddenly appears in front of everyone.
"Oh, don't worry, I'm just using him as an example." Sarah waved her hand.
And at this moment, she saw her expression suddenly change slightly.
"coming!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was stunned, and then they all subconsciously stood up and looked out the window. Sure enough, two figures were approaching quickly under the increasingly dense night outside. Not long after, they landed on the open space outside the door.
"Squeak-"
The door was soon pushed open, and Hermione and others couldn't help but pause before they had time to walk over. Then they saw Safina walking in first and immediately said:
"The fight started!"
"Wha, what? What's the 'fight'?" Everyone asked in confusion.
