No matter who you are, you will probably be surprised and shocked when you see London today. Because what this city of icicles displays is not only its crystal clear beauty, but also its tangible and qualitative strength.
But in fact, the most surprising and even surprising thing now is not the "big popsicle" in Ron's mouth, but some other new changes that are more intelligent and subtle.
"Harry."
Ron, who was in the team with his head slightly lowered and following Safina in front, quietly tightened his hood, lowered his voice and called out quietly. Just because he didn't even move his neck, it seemed more like he was talking to himself.
No one responded, because although everyone was wearing a gray hooded cloak, Harry didn't seem to be in the team.
"Um?"
Ron waited for a while, couldn't help but feel a little confused, and looked around subconsciously.
"Don't look around." Safina, who was walking in front of him, seemed to have eyes on the back of her head. "Isn't such a big icicle big enough for you to look at?"
Now, Ron was used to the temper of the second young lady of the Geofei family. Hearing the other party scolding her in a low voice without looking back, he could only shake his head helplessly.
"I've had enough of this big popsicle." He sighed.
…
In the past two days, after hearing too many speculations from Hermione and others about the master of the living corpses being Maka, even though everyone knew that this was always just a guess, they were still secretly relieved and felt accordingly. A lot more relaxed.
There is no doubt that no one wants to believe that Maka is really dead. As long as there are still some possibilities in the mind, everyone would rather wait and see, even if they know it will be a cover-up.
Just like Dumbledore's death, everyone thought that Maka sealed the body in an ice coffin and placed it by the lake so that generations of teachers and students could pay their respects at any time. But perhaps only he knew that he was only interested in Dumbledore's future. I just hope that I can come back one day.
There are always some people in this world who make others hope for no reason. Albus Dumbledore is like this, and Maka McClane... seems to be like this too.
And obviously, among those who maintain confidence and expectations in Maka, there must be Harry. Although he had just been shocked at the moment, he probably didn't have time to think about it.
"ah?"
Harry opened his mouth slightly, looking at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
Obviously, he wanted to be one step ahead of the gray cloak team led by Hermione. Although he was also wearing a cloak, it was not a stain-resistant and practical gray cloth cloak, but one that he had not used for a long time. It was a relic left to him by his father—an invisibility cloak that was one of the Three Hallows of Death.
So far, apart from the fact that the Elder Wand has been destroyed and cannot be analyzed, the other two of the three Deathly Hallows have been relatively clearly interpreted since everyone came into contact with the rule runes.
Just as Maka had guessed, at least two of these three legendary magic props are just "toys". In fact, even the extremely powerful Elder Wand seems to be particularly powerful only because of the special material of the core.
In terms of actual power and exquisite production, the staff that Maka left to Delphi was truly amazing—if it could be modified in a targeted manner, maybe even real Muggles would be able to use it. You can use it to use magic.
It's a pity that in the face of this unprecedented disaster, the enemy...or maybe fate did not leave so much time for Maka. In his haste, he no longer had the chance to seek changes from the magic research that he was best at.
But the good thing is that although Hermione, Luna and Ginny are not as outstanding as Maka in this regard, they are at least smart enough to do something.
The invisibility cloak that Harry is using now is something that Ginny managed to modify through her research on Auror invisibility cloaks. With her ability, she naturally couldn't do anything on the invisibility cloak itself, but she added another layer of lining with precious invisible animal fur, and then asked Luna to draw a series of invisibility auras and patterns on the lining. A magic combination of magical fluctuations.
To be honest, Harry felt a little hot wearing this thing, but the effect was really good. At least just now, he had quietly passed through the outer suburbs where there were many walking zombies patrolling, and arrived in the suburbs of London.
However, the suburbs of London today are very different from what Ron saw when he came not long ago!
Harry huddled in his cloak and stood behind a dead tree on the side of the road, staring blankly for a while before subconsciously murmuring:
"These living corpses...are they really going to make their home here?"
The suburbs are not urban areas, but they still belong to London after all. The houses and buildings here are still very dense, but they have been reduced to ruins by the battles and the crowds of zombies. Some places have even turned into flat ground. Even pits—for example, the place where the giant demon passed by not long ago.
But who knew that today's living zombie clan is actually... building a house
It can be seen that many low-level zombies are repairing the ruins of buildings at a very fast speed under the assignment and mobilization of high-level zombies. Low-level zombies don't need to think - they don't know how - they just need to follow the orders of high-level tribesmen.
Because the innate magic of the living corpse is too simple and direct, and not as life-like as the modern magic spells of wizards, it is difficult to exert appropriate effects in a place like building a house.
So... yes, they were working almost like Muggles, with a particularly life-like atmosphere. It's no wonder that Harry was almost dumbfounded after seeing this.
However, after Harry took a few more glances, he discovered that not only were these zombies repairing the house very quickly because of the sufficient manpower, but the intelligence of those high-level zombies could not be underestimated.
Although... I don't know how much this has to do with the "Lord of the Living Corpses".
"Why do you do these things?"
Suddenly, Harry turned his head slightly and looked at the icicle city not far away. His sight seemed to penetrate the heavy ice and fell deep into the main hall of Buckingham Palace.
"Because they are originally residents of this land!"
Suddenly, a familiar hoarse voice sounded from behind Harry, which immediately made the hair on his body stand up and his scalp tingle.
How did the other party appear quietly at such a close distance, and how did he see through his specially enhanced invisibility cloak
Thinking that if the other party had taken action just now, he might not be able to react until he died, and Harry couldn't help but want to turn around and draw his sword.
