A long time has passed since the trial began, but there is still no sign of Mrs. Maxim's zombie state being lifted.
Perhaps because of fear of disturbing Luna, this room located deep underground became very quiet. Only when Maxim moved and hit the black cage that trapped her from time to time would she make a short muffled sound.
And just around the black cage, the silver liquid that was slowly floating like mercury that was endowed with vitality was still spinning around - Ursula and the receptionist witch, who had nothing to do for the time being, were there. I spent most of my time staring at these wonderful liquids, and while I had to marvel at their dazzling variety, I was somewhat on tenterhooks.
With their backgrounds and experiences, they both knew what the flowing silver liquid was. There is no doubt that this is the extremely corrosive and terrifying potion - the death potion.
Since this potion was accidentally invented by a wizard who was good at alchemy many years ago, it has quickly been strictly controlled and is almost only used for executions. In recent decades, after the death penalty in the European magic world has been gradually restricted or even abolished, the control of this kind of potion has naturally become stronger, and even many small and medium-sized magic forces have little stock.
Considering that the International Federation of Wizards has already abolished most of the death penalty regulations, and there have been no death row prisoners for a long time in recent years, there should not be much inventory at the Federation headquarters.
I don’t know where Ajinbad got such a pool of death potion.
However, one thing is certain. The underground room currently used to detain Madame Maxime must be the death chamber used by the Federation to execute prisoners in the past.
No wonder this place has been idle for a long time.
"Well-"
Ursula was sitting with her back against the wall, thinking to herself, when suddenly she heard Luna, who was standing not far from the death potion pool, snort softly. She and the receptionist next to her immediately looked at each other subconsciously, and then both raised their heads and looked forward.
"Ms. Lovegood? What's wrong?"
"Well," Luna's eyes remained on Maxim in the cage, and she said without looking back, "I seem to have found a way to help Madam get rid of the living corpse... Next I have to concentrate, I might not hear what you are saying, so remember not to touch me!"
"Uh... oh, okay."
Anyway, that's what they did before, and there won't be any changes in the future. After seeing the receptionist witch nod her head, Ursula responded.
Immediately afterwards, the two of them immediately saw Mrs. Maxim, who was being stared at by Luna, suddenly trembled, and then she seemed to have suddenly lost her strength and collapsed in the floating black cage. .
At the same time, a strange atmosphere seemed to gradually spread in this former execution chamber.
"Um?"
At this moment, the receptionist witch suddenly lowered her head and glanced at the Federation staff badge pinned on her chest. You can see that there is a stream of light emerging from above, flowing slowly.
"Sorry, Miss Geofine, I have to leave for a while, a colleague is calling me." She quickly raised her head and looked at Ursula and said, "Maybe something happened at the trial. "
After saying this, she immediately stood up and walked towards the door.
"Then do I need to do something?" Ursula asked.
"No need for the moment. Miss Geofine, just stay here and continue to guard Miss Lovegood. Mr. President said that the most critical point today is 'whether Mrs. Maxim can be rescued in time.' , other things will be handled by him as much as possible."
Maybe the calling method just now is only used in very urgent cases, and the other party left in a hurry. After answering Ursula's question, she immediately opened the door and went out without waiting any longer.
"Bang... click."
As the door was re-locked, the protective magic on the door was immediately activated again. While locking Ursula and Luna in here, it also provided them with a layer of protection.
After all, judging from the many "outsiders" who came to the trial today with their own agendas, the living corpse of Madame Maxime in the death chamber was actually less dangerous due to her heavy confinement.
"Miss Lovegood, you have to come on!"
After a moment of silence, Ursula couldn't help but look at Luna's back and muttered - In fact, personally, she still hopes that Mrs. Maxim can recover. This has nothing to do with whether she is kind-hearted or not. It's just because during the short period of time she stayed at Beauxbatons, she and the other party had already had a lot of daily communication and care in daily life.
However, it is obviously not easy to stop Maxim's transformation into a zombie or even completely remove it. Ursula, who had been working in vain all morning, knew this very well.
"Crack!"
A few minutes passed, and while Ursula was still wondering what might have happened at the trial venue, she suddenly heard the door lock ring again. Then, the door was reopened, and the receptionist witch rushed in from the outside again.
"boom!"
As she hurriedly closed and locked the door, Ursula heard her panting and said:
"The head of the Brandt family knows that Madame Maxime is in the headquarters building! He applied for a search proposal inside the building at the trial meeting, and it was passed with a high vote. Now Ms. Dumitru is personally directing it Combat staff and guard wizards from the Anti-Dark Arts Office conducted a thorough search of the building."
"The rest of the federation doesn't know about Mrs. Maxim?"
Hearing what the other party said, Ursula suddenly showed a surprised expression. She obviously didn't know that such a thing existed from the beginning.
"Well," the receptionist witch heard this and could only nod her head and confessed, "Yes. But Miss Geofine, you should also know how sensitive the incident of 'living corpse' is nowadays. , especially the one who has been turned into a living corpse now is Madame Maxime, the principal of Beauxbatons! Even if there is the most legitimate reason, it is not convenient for Mr. President to say more, let alone the current matter... It is indeed somewhat I can’t explain it clearly.”
The fact is just as the other party said, this incident of ordinary wizards turning into living corpses was caused by someone deliberately causing trouble, and now it has become a mess.
And Ida Brandt, the only one who could give a more reasonable explanation, took the initiative to keep her mouth shut.
The incident is still unfolding.
