They had obviously made an appointment with someone to come over for further discussion, and they had already met Harry and knew about their arrival, but the "Lord of the Living Corpses" just left them in the side hall and delayed seeing them again.
Hermione and the others were able to hold back at first and did not leave the wing easily. Although the other party said that they would not restrict their movements, it is not to say that the owner of this palace is the other party now. Even in the past, this place never belonged to them. them.
What's more, after listening to the high-level zombie's casual talk... Somehow, everyone's original vigor seemed to be suddenly covered with a fine veil.
"I just went to make detailed inquiries. It seems that the master personally took a group of tribesmen out to explore the whereabouts of those demons. Of course, the master will also consider this time when cooperating with you to deal with those guys - since we have always been there Here, then the first step of the investigation work will naturally be left to us."
The living corpse who led the way came back with some snacks and refreshments. It was probably just picked up casually from a Muggle mall, but there was actually a piece of ham in it, and everyone couldn't help but be a little stunned.
And at the moment when she was slightly dazed, Hermione, who was about to say something, was beaten to the punch by the other party, and she didn't have time to ask some words.
"...So, please wait patiently here. The master will come back with accurate information to share with you, and then he will discuss with you specific plans on how to defeat and eliminate those demons. Over there at the construction site for building houses. I also have to tell you, please use these food and drinks slowly, I am going out first... Oh, it is best not to go except the main hall - only the owner can enter and exit at will, and you can visit other places."
"What if we have an emergency and need to leave?"
Sarah asked coldly, but unexpectedly the other party still nodded calmly.
"Of course it's possible, but please try your best to go through the south gate - some guards may still be somewhat hostile to humans. Although they will definitely not dare to attack you under the master's order, they may be in trouble. However, I personally recommend that you stay here... The master said that the elimination of demons needs to start as soon as possible. If it is not a very urgent matter, it is best to wait a little longer!"
Watching the other party leave from the door, Sarah turned back and shrugged at Hermione and others.
"It seems like they are sincere."
As soon as she said this, everyone couldn't help but fall into silence again. After a while, Ron hesitated and said:
"Then...since the guy just said specifically not to go to the main hall, should we find a way to go in and have a look?"
The more inaccessible a place is, the more likely it is to hide some secrets, Ron would think so, that's of course. But soon, Delphi, who was sitting beside him, shook his head.
"I probably know why they don't let us go to the main hall - remember? I said that it was where I met Herbo's will the last time I came here."
"So, this is also the goodwill of the zombie clan?" Ron scratched his head.
"No," Luna suddenly said seriously after hearing this, "It's Maka's kindness."
"Well."
Ron blinked, not knowing how to answer the question for a moment, and subconsciously turned to look at Harry. The latter had just met and chatted with the "Lord of the Living Corpses", so... his insights might be more important at the moment.
Unfortunately, although Harry understood Ron's questioning look tacitly, he also didn't know what to say. In fact, he is still immersed in some complicated and unspeakable thoughts.
Especially, after listening to the remaining memories narrated by the living corpse before.
"Hermione, do you think this living zombie family... can really be considered a kind of 'life'?"
Hermione couldn't answer the question immediately, but Sarah opened the juice on the table and took a sip, shaking it with a piece of biscuit that she had already bitten.
"It's still a little bit missing... But just like this cookie, even if it's missing a corner, it's still a cookie... And from a personal standpoint, I hope they can be."
To a certain extent, she actually belongs to the same category as those living corpses, and she has always hoped that she can become a complete life - even if she is not a human being.
"Of course," she thought for a moment, and then added specifically, "Those low-level living corpses without intelligence must not be counted. They are just moving corpses with incomplete instincts!"
How about being similar? Even in looking down on low-level zombies, they are completely consistent with the views of those high-level zombies who have wisdom.
But compared to her as an "outsider", the living corpses in this matter had an additional layer of looking down on their own race, which may have another meaning.
Putting aside these things, everyone nodded with some understanding after hearing Sarah's point of view - everyone has already known about Sarah's identity. Although many things cannot be empathized with, at least... There is obviously still understanding and consideration.
Therefore, even if their views on this matter are different, they will not object outright.
But Sarah laughed when she saw everyone nodding along. I saw her holding juice in one hand and biscuits in the other, waving her hands randomly and saying:
"I'm just saying it casually. You don't need to take it too seriously - you also know that I am unique in this world after all. This family of living zombies and I are still two different things after all. Even if they are all wiped out, it has nothing to do with me. I just saw that you were having such a boring conversation, so I just said something to lighten the atmosphere, and don’t worry about me."
If I have to say it, Sarah's position is always very subtle, because in the final analysis, she just wants to help Maka do something. Being able to work with Hermione and the others now, and helping them so much, was purely a matter of friendship and coincidence.
Especially this time, after knowing that the "Lord of the Living Corpses" was most likely Maka... To be honest, she had already saved face for Hermione and others by not running to him immediately. Once it is confirmed that the other party is Maka, she will most likely leave decisively.
Because until now, she has obviously smelled a strange smell in the team - it may not be "distrust", but it is something more complicated and more irredeemable than distrust.
Fortunately, Hermione was obviously still hesitant about some conflicting principles, and had not yet decided which side she should stand on.
"Let me... think about it." She whispered, her face a little pale.
