The master of the living corpse clan said that the original retreat point was no longer accessible, so it must be true that there was no way to go there. But it was not Ron who was the first to confirm this fact.
Let's turn the clock back a little and go back to the time when Ron was half-held hostage by the zombies and heading to London. At that time, Hermione had successfully brought the retreating force to the Seaton Beach evacuation point, and just as she had promised before, after ensuring that the large force could safely evacuate to France, she took a few people back to the Burrow. Quick return to camp.
In fact, not only Ron, but all wizards who can risk their lives to come to this death place are worthy of Hermione's search and rescue. Not to mention too subjective things such as personal emotions, after all, there are not many people who dare to join the resistance at the moment, and every one of them is extremely precious.
Not to mention, Sarah, who voluntarily stayed behind to hold off the enemy for the safe evacuation of the large army!
"It's a pity that Mr. Blois didn't agree to come with us."
At this moment, Hermione, who was flying fast on her broomstick, couldn't help but say with regret.
"There's nothing we can do about it!" Harry on the side vaguely heard Hermione's sigh mixed with the roaring wind, and suddenly said loudly, "Mr. Blois has already helped us a lot... Moreover, he can stay in the army. Over there, we can help escort the retreat, and we can go more confidently."
After hearing this, Hermione could only nod her head, and turned to smile at Harry.
"you're right."
The smile is to make people feel at ease, to make Harry feel at ease, to make Delphi and Safina not far away feel at ease, and at the same time to make herself feel more at ease.
Hermione was actually very worried about Ron at the moment, but not so nervous about Sarah. After all, with Sarah's ability, the probability of saving her life in the end is much higher than Ron's.
In fact, although Hermione's reasonable speculation did not appear to be very correct under the guidance of fate, at least Sarah's safety was quickly proven.
"Pay attention to the front, there is a fast-moving magic source coming this way..." Not far away, Delphi, who was standing on the back of an ice bird and looking into the distance, suddenly said, "Well... it should be Miss Hohenheim."
Obviously, although Delphi and Safina both have the ability to perceive magic, the former's sensing range is much larger than the latter's. After she finished speaking, a few seconds later, Safina also discovered the magic wave that was approaching quickly from the front.
Not long after, just when Safina turned her head and glanced at Delphi, Hermione and Harry both saw a rapidly approaching black spot from the sky. Vaguely visible, it was Sarah's figure who was also coming towards us on a broom.
"Come forward."
Hermione nodded at Delphi and the others, and then the four of them accelerated again and headed towards Sarah in the distance.
…
"... All in all, the demon and the living zombies are obviously not companions. I even feel that the living zombies are obviously very hostile to the demons. Although I couldn't ask too many things, at least, I think this should be Something that can be exploited.”
After Hermione and the others met Sarah, they did not choose to stay where they were. Instead, after discussing with Sarah, they took her with them and headed back to the ruins of the stronghold.
On the way, Hermione asked Sarah carefully about the situation Sarah faced after the large forces evacuated.
Hermione was also quite surprised after listening to Sarah's general description of the amazing battle in which the zombies besieged the demon. After all, this seemed to be the first time they had peaceful communication with the living zombies, and even fought side by side, after the incident between Luna and the zombie Silly Bo.
"This is indeed very valuable news... but we still know too little at present. This matter must be kept secret for the time being and will be discussed later after more contacts are made."
After saying this and seeing everyone nodding in agreement, Hermione pursed her lips again and looked at Sarah again.
"By the way," she paused, "then when you were fighting the demons with those high-level zombies, did you see Ron?"
"Weasley?" Sarah shook her head when she heard this, "No. I should be the last one to leave the stronghold. I have never seen him... Why, he is not in the retreating army?"
"Well," Hermione frowned, "Actually, something else happened when 'Pride' attacked the stronghold - 'Pride' tried to seduce and control Ron, but it was not successful at the time. It was just the situation of the stronghold at that time. It’s already very critical, so we can’t take care of Ron’s condition... He should have found a place where no one is around and locked himself up!"
"'Locked up'?" Harry guessed at the side, "Did he go to the basement of the Burrow?"
"Probably not," Hermione immediately shook her head. "At that time, the demons had not broken through the protective barrier. That was the core of the rune array. Ron, who knew that he might be manipulated at any time, would not be stupid enough to go there. .Although the reason why the devil tried to control him may be that, but we all know that in the end, the devil still relied on his own power to forcefully break the barrier."
"Anyway, I'd better go there and take a look later," Harry said. "You guys go look elsewhere... No matter whether Ron is alive or... there will always be some traces left."
Regarding Ron's loss of contact, Harry was naturally no less worried and anxious than Hermione.
The three of them have been friends since the first year and are the Gryffindor Iron Triangle. Just because they are in the same college, whether studying or living, their friendship is even deeper than that of Maka.
"Okay," Hermione nodded immediately after hearing what Harry said, "Then let's do it."
And while Hermione and Harry were discussing some possibilities with Sarah about Ron during a fast flight, Delphi, not far away, was still thinking about what Sarah had said before.
Are demons and living zombies hostile? No, this is impossible... According to some of her memories, the living corpses are simply the vassals and minions of the devil. Whether they are low-level zombies, high-level zombies, or even partially intelligent individuals, they will only become cruel weapons to massacre human beings under the control of demons.
And this should be determined by the root of their birth - the devil summoning technique.
Just like the previous performance of "Arrogance" controlling the zombie army to attack the stronghold uniformly, this is the best proof.
But... Sarah seems to have no reason to lie in a place like this, right
