Because you are Maka's friend.
Delphi heard this sentence, but her mood was very complicated. For a moment, she didn't know what she felt in her heart.
But Hermione's trust was quite weighty to Delphi.
"Thank you," after a moment of silence, Delphi couldn't help but thank you, and then continued to hold the wine glass and said, "But although there are some things I can't explain to you, there is at least one thing I am willing to tell you right now. —”
"What's up?"
When Hermione heard this, her expression suddenly became serious, and her back straightened even more.
But in fact, Delphi's expression looked much more serious than hers at this moment.
"This matter... In fact, judging from your behavior in the tent on the day Mr. Weasley came back, I think you should have some similar guesses." She thought about it for a moment, and then said, "You also started to think, That master of living corpses is Mr. McClain, isn’t he?”
"this-"
In fact, according to Hermione's nature, it is unlikely that she will agree to tomorrow's cooperation negotiation between zombies and humans - at least she will certainly not agree so quickly.
Putting aside the fact that living zombies and humans have fundamental reasons for hostility, just based on what the other party has revealed so far about "cooperating in an alliance to destroy demons together," to be honest, it doesn't make sense.
Due to the characteristics of the living zombies themselves, they are unlikely to easily leave the range shrouded in clouds - outside that range, once the living zombies suffer casualties, they cannot "return".
When there was no certainty that the demon would leave Britain that day, all Hermione could imagine was that after she refused to cooperate, the living zombies would have to resist the demon's control alone.
After all, Hermione's stronghold at the Burrow has been broken, and all personnel have evacuated the UK. As long as she doesn't immediately bring people back to fight, the living corpse party will obviously have nothing to do with her.
Even now, after discovering that the dark clouds have begun to spread towards the English Channel, even if the demons cross the channel and come to France, most of them will not come.
To the demons, those living corpses are basically equivalent to a large group of subordinates who are gradually becoming disobedient. No matter how you think about it, those demons probably will not really give up such a large force of combat power.
Of course, since she still doesn't know much about demons, most of these are just Hermione's conjectures. But because of this, the more she thinks rationally, the more she will understand that what she needs at this time is not to take risks and cooperate with those zombies who have developed intelligence, but to keep a distance and watch the changes. .
However, just because of that bold speculation with almost no direct basis, and the ice coffin that was placed right under her eyes at that time, she finally impulsed to accept the invitation that seemed like she should not have accepted it. .
To be honest, in the past two days afterwards, Hermione still occasionally felt some regrets in her heart.
But until now, when Delphi suddenly revealed the unreliable speculation in her heart, she couldn't help but have unlimited hope.
"I'm just thinking about it randomly, and maybe it's mixed with a lot of personal emotions... But Delphi, you... is this true?"
In fact, when Delphi mentioned that Maca might be in London and insisted on going there in person, although Hermione disagreed on the surface, she had already thought about it in her heart.
Reason always told her that the possibility was really very small, but her longing for Maka made her unwilling to extinguish the hope in her heart.
Now, seeing that tiny hope that might tear everything apart, the impossibility has finally become a reality! How could she suppress the excitement in her heart
But before she finished speaking, and before Hermione could be happy for a long time, Delphi decisively poured a basin of cold water on her head.
"I'm just speculating. In fact, I can't guarantee you anything... After all, I have lost contact with Mr. McClain for a long time. I actually don't know much more about his current situation than you do."
After letting Hermione calm down a little with these extremely sincere words, Delphi continued:
"Of course, even so, I should know at least one thing more than you. Do you still remember the battle between demons and demons that took place east of the Burrow stronghold? At that time, we only knew one of them who was as skinny as A rickety old man's demon - that is 'Gluttony', now beaten like a puddle of mud, collapsed in a corner of Buckingham Palace in London, I saw it when I went there."
"You mentioned before, you said Haierbo talks to you through it?" Hermione thought for a while.
"That's right," Delphi nodded, "and the other tall demon who defeated 'Gluttony'... Although I didn't see it when I went to London, I think it should be the twin-like high-level demons from before. The 'master' in the corpse's mouth."
Listening to Delphi recounting the story from the beginning, Hermione's eyes became brighter and brighter as she listened, and she couldn't help but nod her head and said:
"Ron also said that the characteristics of the owner of the living corpse look very similar to that of a demon."
"Yes, the common characteristics of demons are quite obvious." Delphi took over and continued, "Then... do you remember? At that time, Miss Geofine had been staring at the opponent and saw many battle processes. When the opponent left at the end of the battle and she couldn't catch up, she gave up."
"What did you find?" Hermione listened very attentively and couldn't help but ask.
Delphi paused for a moment, picked up the wine glass and took another sip of mead to moisten his throat that was dry from talking too much, and then said solemnly:
"Actually, you should also remember - when we were on the island and I helped you and Miss Lovegood get in touch with the rule runes, Mr. McLean showed you an ancient book page that recorded many runes. Reference. And after Miss Geofine’s description after she came back, I discovered that the various first-level rule magics cast by the demon had corresponding runes on that ancient book page!”
At this point, she raised her head and drank all the wine in the glass, then put down the wine glass in her hand with a bang, frowned slightly and murmured:
"I don't think that a demon who is supposed to be derived from the rules of the soul can use so many natural rules of magic that have nothing to do with the rules of the soul. And if there is anyone in this world who can do this... holding that card Mr. MacLean, who appears in the pages of the ancient book, must be the one with the greatest possibility among the handful of people!”
