Regardless of whether the master of living corpses is Maka or not, there still cannot be any oversight in the preparations that need to be made. And with a total of three days and three nights of preparation time, Hermione and the others would certainly not waste a single minute.
So while Hermione and Delphi were detailing the series of possibilities in the Muggle bar on the island, on the seaside wasteland on the east side, another group of wizards came to start the final part of the preparations.
Raising tall buildings from flat ground would naturally not be a difficult task for this group of wizards who had just returned from their stronghold in the Burrow. Since they were able to quickly build those few towers back then, and they were still able to stand even after the stronghold was destroyed and the army of living zombies attacked and swept them away, now of course it would be faster to only build one.
After spending the last day and night on construction, they finally erected the tallest building on St. Martins Island before dawn.
But in the final analysis, this time is too hasty after all. In addition to the magic spell used to strengthen the tower, there was only time to mix the rune bricks Hermione requested in advance with the normal stone bricks according to the predetermined positions, and then... This building is based on the underground formation. The tower is considered completed.
Obviously, this magic tower was not as strong as the ones in the stronghold at that time, but Hermione knew very well that what she needed was not defense capability. Now being able to meet her minimum requirements in such a short period of time is actually pretty good.
…
The early morning of the fourth day arrived amid the hurried footsteps of a group of wizards.
There was no surprise. Of course, when the sky gradually brightened from the sea level in the east, everyone found that the sky wall was still white.
I don't know if it's because of the morning dew or the water vapor that has been silently entrenched in recent days. There is still a damp and sticky feeling in the air, and even breathing has become a little slow and heavy.
This rain will definitely continue to fall - even ignorant children can feel this.
No one could be happy negotiating with the leader of a large group of enemies in such weather.
At present, around this tower, many figures have begun to gather and line up in silence. On the high platform at the top of the tower, Harry, Safina, Luna, Delphi... It can be said that almost all the most outstanding and capable young people on the human wizard side have gathered on this high tower.
In fact, even the head of the Blois family, the only main force in the front line who cannot be called a "young man", is now riding on the back of the fire dragon Norbert with Charlie. Patrol flight over the nearby Celtic Sea.
Now that we have reached this point, many things have yet to be verified, but at least there is no doubt about the strength of the other party's living corpse master. Since the other party is coming, no one dares to relax, even if the living corpse party has agreed that only three people will come.
Not long after, Hermione also climbed up the tower along the stairs that had just been built at night, and came to the tower platform where many people had gathered. The wind here is so strong that my hair is swaying wildly in the air. But after thinking about it, she didn't tie up her long, messy, curly hair, but stubbornly let it swing stubbornly in the wind.
She hasn't tied her hair in a long time.
After going up to the tower, Hermione didn't say anything more to the others - everything that needed to be said had been said in the past few days. After repeated planning, exhortations, discussions, and discussions, it seemed that there was nothing more to say. Yes.
Soon, after walking around the stone stacks on the edge of the platform, Hermione returned to the center of the platform under the gaze of her friends.
Because what was agreed today was a negotiation after all, a set of tables and chairs conjured by a transformation spell were placed on the platform. Hermione sat down at the end of the table, thought about it, and suddenly took out her wand and tapped the table.
The next moment, the long table suddenly began to shrink, and the chairs around it also disappeared one after another. After a few seconds, the original long table turned into a simple small round table, with a total of two armchairs sitting under her.
"Hermione?"
Harry opened his mouth to say something, but Hermione shook her head slightly, interrupting him.
"I decided not to overcomplicate things - as long as the other party does not break the rules in this negotiation, a real negotiation only requires two people who can make decisions, and that is enough."
"But the closer we are to you, the more precautions we can take!" Harry couldn't help but say.
However, after hearing this, Hermione stared at the table in front of her in silence for a moment, then shook her head again.
"not me."
As she said this, she suddenly propped herself up on the table, pursed her lips and stood up from the chair. And then, everyone around saw her suddenly turned around, raised her hand and said very seriously:
"The person responsible for negotiating with the other party today is not me... it's Luna!"
"Huh?" "What?" "Hermione, what's going on?"
Before he finished speaking, all the friends suddenly opened their eyes, looking at Hermione's slender, tall figure with puzzlement, with a firmness all over her body, but also an inexplicable desolate figure. Even Delphi, who had an in-depth conversation with Hermione yesterday, only vaguely guessed some of the other person's thoughts after a period of surprise.
Only the two parties involved, Hermione and Luna, didn't have much expression on their faces - one of them stretched out his hand and looked at each other deeply; while the other didn't even raise his head, just lowered his eyes. Standing there, no one knew what she was thinking.
"Luna? Luna?"
Hannah on the side reached out and pulled her good friend. After pulling several times, Luna, who had her head slightly lowered, slowly turned her head and glanced at Hannah blankly.
"What's wrong?"
"Front, front," Hannah hurriedly pouted towards Hermione and gestured, "Hermione seems to be planning to let you be in charge of the negotiations."
In fact, since seeing the ice coffin three days ago, Luna's spirit has been a little not right. She used to be in a trance, but in the days that followed, her environment and experiences also caused her to undergo many changes, and the changes in the past two years were especially obvious.
However, in just these three days, her original trance has returned - even becoming much worse than when she first entered school! Just because everyone has been busy preparing for this negotiation during the past three days, the only ones who really noticed her abnormality were probably Hannah and Silly Bo who lived in her shadow.
"Negotiation?" Luna blinked and whispered in confusion, "What is it?"
