The air was filled with an unsettling smell of blood mixed with earthy smell.
Maka led everyone to walk through the streets of the city. As they walked, they sniffed the scent that seemed to be walking with death. The most overwhelming thing in her heart was depression.
Of course Hermione did too.
Although she is now used to smelling the smell of dying life, getting used to it doesn't mean she can be indifferent to it.
As if sensing the anxiety in the heart of the girl next to her, Maka smiled, reached out and patted her shoulder.
"Don't worry! It's almost here...it won't be long."
Snapped!
The palm on her shoulder was knocked off by the girl, but the girl didn't say anything else. This made Maka smile again and quietly take her hand back.
Then the topic turned slightly more serious.
"The intervention of the three major families, no matter what their purpose is, is always a good thing for us. To deal with the countless living corpses, we definitely cannot do it by ourselves - even with the addition of The same goes for your 'living zombie friends' who have gained intelligence, after all, they are only a small part."
"I know," Hermione walked step by step beside him, a little distance away, "To end this disaster, we mainly have to rely on ourselves as humans."
"Yes." Maca nodded, "And fortunately, except for the Matuseyevich family, the other two families can still see the situation clearly. The Rossi family understands the severity of this disaster, and Viseu Jia Ze is at least willing to cooperate..."
As he said this, he seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly the topic changed:
"I heard that you previously led the creation of an organization called... um, what kind of resistance alliance?"
"It's the 'European Wizards Resistance Alliance'." Hermione pursed her lips and said, "The main purpose is to resist the invasion of living zombies, protect ourselves, and try to find a solution to this disaster... I know that my idea at the time was still a bit too much. It's so naive. The role played by the Resistance Alliance is not even as good as the Federation that restarted operation after Madame Maxime resolutely took over. And I, the leader, abandoned the Alliance for my own private purposes. , dereliction of duty to the extreme.”
"Well, don't say that!" Maka shook his head and said, "In fact, in my opinion, your 'Resistance Alliance' was a good move! Its appearance was obviously very timely. At that time, most of the surrounding small and medium-sized forces were panicking. At that time, it not only accurately appeased some of the panicked people, but also suppressed some of the people who were ready to stir up troubles. It accurately extinguished the flames of civil strife that was about to appear at the time - I think Maxim was also just in time. It was after seeing this that I had the idea and confidence to become the president of the federation.”
"In fact," Maka finally turned to look at her and said, "the Federation controlled by her did inherit your intention to resist the Alliance after that, didn't it?"
After finishing her words, Hermione was silent for a long time, then she turned to glance at Maka and said:
"So? What do you want to say?"
Upon hearing this, Maka shrugged naturally.
"The three major families joined forces and seized Maxim's power in one fell swoop. This greatly reduced the role of the federation in an instant. However, after that, the first battle between the three major families did not go very smoothly. On the contrary, You guys have made quite a splash... Under the current situation, although the various forces in Europe dare not say anything, they are not blind. They also see this fact... "
"You mean, I can take this opportunity to make the Resistance Alliance reappear?" Hermione paused in her walking steps, then hurriedly took two steps and continued walking beside Maka and asked, " Will this... work?"
"At least no one except the Matusievich family will have any objections." Maka spread her hands, "And the Blois family, which is also one of the four major families... or Willy, she should support you. of."
After saying this, there was another moment of silence. After following Maka for a while, Hermione lowered her head slightly and said:
"Is it because you opened your mouth?"
"Me?" Maka glanced at the back of her head, "No... I said, when you founded the resistance alliance, weren't you Mrs. Maxim and the old housekeeper of the Blois family who worked with you?"
"Uh...ah!" As if she just remembered that this was the case again, Hermione stopped completely, paused, and then said softly, "Yeah."
A few seconds of silence.
"Let's go!" Maka suddenly called from the front, "Harry and the others are probably coming soon."
"Oh, good!"
Hermione quickly opened her legs and hurried after him.
…
At this moment, it's not just Maka, Hermione and others who are busy. Far behind the battlefield, there were a few groups of people who were in a hurry because they had just learned that Maka had awakened from the ice coffin.
The first group of people were naturally the Hogwarts professors who had the best information on what was ahead.
Although even Professor McGonagall and others did not know about the ice coffin and Maka's "remains" in advance - to most people, Bill and others did a pretty good job of keeping it secret.
However, before Snape personally went to the disaster site in Old England, he finally got a lot of facts that the outside world did not know. Compared with the incredible current situation in the disaster area, it is just the body of Maka, which no longer seems so shocking...
All right! This incident still shocked Mag and others, especially... Maka actually returned in such a way!
"Obviously there can be no 'guarantee' about this kind of thing - I said that the guy I met at Buckingham Palace seemed to be that boy Maclean, but so what? I also said it before, that is It's just my personal 'feeling', and it cannot prove any truth. So, if you want to say that there is another Maclean in that frontline camp that is recognized by Granger and the others, then it has appeared... and I have what relationship?"
Snape curled his lips and sat on the armchair, facing the questions from Flitwick and others with a look of disdain on his face.
"In short, I have done everything I should do, and the rest has nothing to do with me. If you are not satisfied, just go and find out for yourself one by one, and don't come to me and pester me! "
"Severus!"
Beside the fireplace not far from Snape, Tia called Snape softly, and then said apologetically to the little Flitwick:
"I'm sorry, Professor Flitwick... You know, that's just the way he is, don't be angry. But... things seem to be exactly as Severus said. What happened to Mr. Maclean? Can we There's no way to figure it out. You know, Mr. MacLean has always been so mysterious and confusing about what he does-"
