A person's life is often like a train, there is always a terminal waiting in front, giving meaning to the long journey of life.
Therefore, guys like Tom Riddle and Herbo who try to pursue eternal life at all costs, even if they divide their souls, will definitely be in vain in the end.
Even if Hermione and others are still unable to bring this disaster to a complete end this time, I believe that there will be another group of warriors who dare to challenge it in the future, bringing an end to the misfortune and suffering.
Life is like this, so no matter where the Hogwarts Express under our feet is going in the end, it will obviously reach its terminal sooner or later.
And that moment seems to be now...
"Hogsmeade... Hogsmeade! Ah! The train is starting to slow down!"
When Hannah's low voice came from the next door, Maka, who had been sitting in the box here, was also looking out the window - in fact, everyone had noticed it before, after all, they had taken this train many times. All over the place, no matter how much the scenery changes along the way, there are still traces to follow.
However, before arriving at the terminal, the train will start to slow down in advance as usual. With this train traveling faster than usual, the timing of deceleration will naturally be earlier than in the past.
It's probably still a while before we actually arrive at the station.
"Hogwarts."
Maka tilted her head, looking at the mountain pine forest that the railway track extended into, and murmured to herself.
But soon, the trace of nostalgia that appeared in his eyes quickly faded away like the tide. His expression changed slightly and he frowned slightly.
"Sarah," he said to the alchemy girl who had already returned to his side without looking back, "notify everyone that it is time to get off the bus early."
In fact, there was no need for Sarah to inform anyone, because the zombie boy Rebes was also on this trip. In fact, the moment Maka said the words, Rebes, who was sitting in the third box, also felt something strange in the mountains and forests ahead.
That's a living corpse! Countless living corpses!
Even if the current group of intelligent zombies headed by Rebes are unwilling to admit it, those unenlightened zombies who are controlled by a certain will are still the same species as them.
And now, although they had known earlier that there were still a large number of living corpses wandering in the northern part of the disaster area, they never thought that almost all of those guys had gathered in Hogsmeade...or rather, where Hogwarts Castle is. In the deep forests of this extreme northern mountain range.
We can no longer take the train into the mountains! If you continue like this, you will undoubtedly be taking the initiative to get into the enemy's siege. No matter how brave you are, you will not fall into the trap, right
"Get off! Get off!"
Harry, who had the power of the "anger" rule, was not slow at all in his reaction. Although he sensed the abnormality between the mountains a little later than Rebes, his movements were very fast.
And on his side, there is Hermione who, although she has no ability to sense the existence of living corpses, trusts him very much - she is the real leader of this trip.
…
It is not very easy to get off a moving train, not to mention that this train is much faster than usual.
Fortunately, it has begun to slow down after all.
Of course, what's more important is that almost all of the passengers riding it this time are wizards with extraordinary strength.
When he forced open the compartment door and jumped off the train, Maka not only failed to take out the magic book he had been flying on, but even took Sarah with him.
Jumping off the train running on the tracks, he used a floating spell to hold himself and Sarah up, and landed lightly on the top of the tree crown, and then suddenly fell to the ground through the gaps between the intertwined branches and leaves.
There are thick fallen leaves under your feet, which feel soft and soft as if you are stepping on a carpet. The air is filled with the unique mixed smell of trees and soil in the forest, and it smells inexplicably fresh.
This made Maka feel as if she had returned to the Forbidden Forest next to Hogwarts... Okay! It's connected to the Forbidden Forest, isn't it
"Is everything okay? Anyway, let's all gather here first! I think we should discuss what to do next."
Hearing Hermione's greeting not far away, Maka patted Sarah's shoulder, who was sitting next to her, and motioned for her to follow.
Sarah still held the half-finished doll in her hand and quietly followed his steps. After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and raised his head to look eastward.
The woods around here are very dense, and I don't know what she is looking at.
"What's wrong?" Maka turned around slightly.
Sarah paused, then walked forward again, and said to Maka in a low voice as she walked: "The first batch of ships have docked."
"Oh?" Maka understood what she was talking about when she heard this, and he nodded immediately, "That's pretty fast, right? Well, the timing is just right."
Before Sarah set off with Maka, she left all her alchemy dolls at the Granger camp and arranged for them to set off with the wizard army. Her "eyes and ears" were accompanying several groups of transport ships that landed across the sea.
"Let's tell Hermione the news later!" Maka said, before turning around and continuing to walk, she asked casually, "By the way! Can I contact you directly there?"
There are still heavy clouds hanging over the disaster area, which will interfere with various beyond-visual-range abilities to varying degrees, even Sarah's alchemy is no exception.
Right now, she can sense the existence of the doll as soon as it lands on the beach, which is already an extraordinary manifestation of her own spiritual power.
As expected, Sarah immediately shook her head after hearing this, and Maka just shrugged and said nothing more.
After just a few steps and just bypassing a few trees, the two of them saw Hermione and other friends in front again. Obviously, when they jumped out of the car, they deliberately got off together.
"There are a lot of living corpses entrenched in the mountains and forests further ahead... I think you have probably discovered them already, right?" Hermione said when she saw Maka and Sarah coming together.
"Not that much earlier," Maka shook her head, "about the same time as Harry."
"Yeah?"
Hermione glanced at him again, then turned around and looked at the other side of the small forest clearing.
It can be seen that the wizards from the three major families who got off the car a little later than them also happened to be coming from the woods at this moment.
At this moment, Sarah, who was standing next to Maka, took a few steps forward and shared the latest news she had just sensed with everyone.
