Buckingham Palace late at night is actually just like most other large buildings. Apart from "empty" and "dark", there are no more words to describe it.
It should be said that during the period when it was previously occupied by Haierbo, there were some dark magical creatures such as dementors wandering in the dark inside this building, and various living corpses were not yet prohibited from entering the palace privately. . At that time, perhaps one more word "terrible" can be used to describe it.
But now, since the Lord of the Living Corpses came to stay, the high-level living zombies who were grateful, worshipful and even fanatical to him took the initiative to give up the entire palace out of respect from the bottom of their hearts.
Coupled with the recent "London Icicle Incident", not to mention Buckingham Palace, it is rare to see "living animals" in the entire city of London.
And if it's like this during the day, it's naturally even more silent at night. Only occasionally, a little light will shine through the windows of the palace behind the main hall, silently indicating to the outside that there are still people living in this palace - well, the specific "whether they are people" may have to be discussed further.
Tonight, hazy light once again came out of the row of windows that were almost covered by curtains. Even in the thick night, it seemed a bit indescribably dim.
But it was night after all, and if someone passed by outside, it would be difficult to ignore them.
The thin curtains reflected a tall figure sitting on a high-backed chair.
…
"Ma'am... Yes, the plan is going quite smoothly... As I said that day, they are a group of kind and innocent young men and women. Especially their leader Hermione Granger, she can be used" To describe it as "fraternity" - the birth of intelligent living corpses will be a difficult problem that challenges the concept of life for this group of children with excessive sympathy."
"Well, I'm already making arrangements step by step. Next, those living corpses will further demonstrate their humanity and value, which will inevitably cause those 'cute' children to fall into more clear contradictions and chaos... I I think that will definitely prompt them to make up their mind as soon as possible.”
"That's right, my respected Ms. Kern! If this continues, it won't be long before your long-cherished wish will naturally come true! The new era that you personally designed and that we all long for will have its greatest success in this era. The complete and most perfect realization—"
A familiar and familiar deep voice came faintly from the window. The content sounded very exciting, but the tone was still as calm and indifferent as he remembered.
After a few words that were almost like an oath, the figure seemed to have finally stopped talking to himself.
However, just when the silence of the night came again, making people think that tonight's one-sided "dialogue" had really come to an end, that voice suddenly came out again.
"... Madam, is there anything else? Huh? That magic tree outside the jungle? Oh, you should be talking about the 'Whomping Willow', right? Yes, a large group of Flobber caterpillars have formed cocoons on it, but previously They have all broken out of their cocoons and flown away... is there still one cocoon left?"
"Oh... Of course, let it hang! Since there is still the breath of life, it will break out of the cocoon sooner or later... Yes, just like the world you love so much, even if it is worse than expected It will be much later, but it will eventually break out of its cocoon and become a butterfly!"
"... If you are a little bored living in Hogwarts, you might as well take some time to visit it every day. As for other things, leave it to me... Oh, and Helbo - just leave it to us!"
The words gradually fell, and the dim light in the palace slowly extinguished. This time, the voice seemed to finally stop going on.
Not long after, a figure flew silently away from the trees outside a certain window. This figure has no life breath or magic power fluctuation. It seems to be just a non-existent shadow, and it is almost impossible to attract the attention of others.
But before the light in the window disappeared completely, the head of the figure reflected on the curtain seemed to turn.
…
A few minutes later, in the guest room where Safina, Sarah and Hannah were.
Because there was no light on, the room seemed dark. Just because the clouds over London are now directly "pierced" by the huge icicles that penetrate the sky. Although the moon is still elsewhere, there is still moonlight mixed with starlight passing through the crystal icicles and being sent to the ice. within the city of London.
Most of the ice outside the window is filled with a slight amount of moonlight and stardust, which prevents the world in the city from falling into complete darkness at night.
In fact, London today may look even more beautiful at night than in the past.
It's a pity that there are obviously not many people who are in the mood to appreciate this beauty.
"Hohenheim, your 'Alchemy Ghost' hasn't come back yet? Is it... that it can't come back?"
Sarah and Safina were sitting on either side of the small round table by the window, and it was Safina who was speaking now. Sarah, on the other hand, just sat opposite her, her eyes slightly closed and she didn't know what she was doing, but she seemed very focused.
"Hohenheim? Sarah? Haven't you seen him yet?"
While Safina was restless and kept urging questions, Sarah seemed not to be affected at all. But the next second after Safina said the last words, she finally opened her eyes and rolled her eyes at Safina opposite.
"Why are you urging me? I'm not afraid that I have nothing to do. Are you going to cause me problems by urging me so much?" Even though Sarah was as calm as Sarah, she seemed to be annoyed by Safina and said something to her casually.
When Safina heard this, she immediately curled her lips.
"You said it yourself, no matter what I do, it will be fine."
"Okay, okay!" Sarah waved her hand, then pointed behind Safina, "Didn't you ask if my ghost has come back? Well, it has come back a long time ago... I was just sorting it out in my mind. It’s just the information overheard from the dormitory.”
"Eavesdropping? You didn't go to see him directly?" Safina frowned when she heard this, "This is not the plan we agreed on before!"
"Because the situation has changed." Sarah waved her hand and leaned heavily on the back of the chair. "If you had heard that conversation, you would have decided to step back immediately - I must say, This is unusual, very unusual!"
"how?"
"That should really be McClain." Sarah said very seriously, "However, the fact that he is no longer on Granger's side... is probably also true!"
"We probably can't take any chances anymore."
