The group of living corpses that attacked this time were different from any other time in the past. The living corpses with demons controlling them are no longer the idiots and madmen who acted only on instinct. Hermione is sure that this defensive battle will be very difficult.
Judging from his current experience, any battle involving demons will never be easy.
"call-"
Suddenly, a ball of black flames wrapped around two figures rushed in from a gap in the barrier, and quickly passed over the tower platform where Hermione was standing.
Although the black flames were still lingering, this time Hermione finally saw clearly that the person brought back by Safina was Luna! According to what Charlie and the others said when they came over, Luna made a temporary decision to try to hold back the army of living zombies.
Now that she and Safina are back, it means... the leading team of living corpses is coming soon.
At this moment, the flying dust on the distant horizon also proved that Hermione's guess was correct.
With this thought in mind, Hermione planned to turn around and say hello to Sarah at the Burrow to tell her that the hole in the barrier could be filled.
But who would have thought that at this moment, she first heard the roar of the wind behind her, and then she saw Luna swooping over on a broom and stopping steadily beside her.
"Don't rush to tell Sarah to close the barrier yet, there seems to be someone behind us..."
Luna, who came to Hermione's side, happily hugged the former's shoulders, seeming to miss Hermione very much after not seeing her for several days. But while showing intimacy, her big silver-gray eyes still stayed in the distance to the east.
Hermione was naturally very happy to see her return, although it was not the right time for Luna to come back. At such a dangerous moment when a war was about to begin, Luna, who had never been good at fighting, would have been more reassuring to leave directly from the west.
Of course, Luna's ability is naturally very valuable. Hermione doesn't want her to come here at this time. After all, it is just out of her unique selfishness.
After hearing what Luna said, Hermione immediately asked:
"Is there anyone else? Who?"
"It's still a little far away, I'm not sure," Luna shook her head, and then said, "Maybe it's Delphi."
"Delphi? She's back?"
When Hermione heard this, she couldn't help but be startled - if Luna's perception was indeed correct, then it must be said that the other party came back in time.
"If it's really Delphi, then it doesn't matter."
Before she finished speaking, Hermione immediately turned back and gestured towards the Burrow. The next moment, I saw that the cracked gap in the alchemical barrier immediately began to close, and soon it returned to its original appearance.
After making this decision, Hermione turned around and said:
"Someone has to stay outside and fight! Originally, I only asked Mr. Blois and Harry, but if there is another Delphi, then I will be more relieved."
After explaining this, Hermione continued to look at the group of living corpses running crazily from a distance, but then turned around and said:
"But... I didn't expect Delphi to come back so soon. Luna, do you know? She said she was going to London before she left. Now that I see her again so soon, I don't know where she is going." Didn’t make it.”
"Yes, I know about this." Luna nodded, "I happened to sense her suddenly passing by near Weymouth, and I chased her at that time - she was so fast, I chased her for a long time and didn't catch up. , she couldn’t come back to meet me until the southern outskirts of London.”
After briefly telling the story of how she met Delphi, Luna said:
"It was not far from London at that time. When I left before nightfall, she said she was going to explore it early this morning. I think she should have already been there."
Hearing that Luna actually chased Delphi around London on the way, Hermione couldn't help but be startled, then looked at her with some confusion and said:
"Then... you didn't go to London with her?"
"Huh?" Luna was obviously a little puzzled when she heard her question. "I wanted to go at that time, but Charlie and Mr. Akinbad were still waiting for me at that time. If I asked them to wait all night, they would I'm sure you'll be worried... What's the matter, Hermione? What's going on in London? You look like you think I'm going to go with Delphi?"
"Shouldn't it?" Hermione became even more confused, "Delphi said that she seemed to think that Maka was in London, so although she didn't say it explicitly, I know that she actually went specifically to find Maka on this trip... Don't you Know?"
"Maka is in London?" Luna became more and more confused when she heard this, "Delphi...it seems like you haven't mentioned it before?"
However, Hermione still did not show relief when she heard that Delphi had not told the truth to Luna. Because she had some idea that Delphi would be so secretive - there were already signs of this when the other party was still here at the Burrow.
Thinking this, Hermione suddenly nodded slightly and said with understanding:
"So, Maka did not go to London. This was just Delphi's wrong guess. However, what made her think that Maka was in London? I still haven't fully understood this matter. "
"I don't know that," Luna shook her head. "I only know that I didn't seem to feel that Maka was in London at that time. If I have to say where he is... he should be in the north, very far away from here. Far."
"North?"
Hermione couldn't help but pursed her lips as she listened, with a flash of regret in her eyes.
But soon, she suppressed these useless thoughts as usual, and then immediately stretched out her hand to tug Luna's arm and said:
"The group of living corpses at the front are almost coming, we should get down!"
"oh."
Luna had no objection to Hermione's words and allowed the other party to take her arm and leave the top platform of the tower, heading towards the observation window below.
And as she followed Hermione down the stairs through the trap door in the middle of the landing, she took one last look out. At this glance, he saw Harry, whom he had not seen for several days. He was standing outside the alchemical barrier with Mr. Blois. The sword of Gryffindor in his hand also passed through the light green barrier. It was covered with a layer of shining green.
"By the way... Except for Harry and Mr. Blois, no one else should be directly involved in the battle yet. Charlie and Mr. Akinbad are in the living room of the Burrow. When you come back, why don't you go see them first? Let them I feel relieved to see that you are back safe and sound."
Hermione said to Luna as she walked down the steps.
