"Maka... didn't come back?"
When Hermione learned this from Ron and others who had been waiting near the gate, her expression was a little surprised, but not completely surprised.
At least now that she has finally come into contact with Maka's "some" secret plot, no matter what situation she encounters again, she will no longer feel uneasy...
Well, at least that's what she thinks.
"Hermione—"
"Wait a minute, Harry!" Hermione temporarily stopped Harry who was about to say something, and looked at the other side and said, "Ron, you look like you still have something to say?"
"Uh, yes..." Ron hesitated and said, "Although I didn't see Maka coming out of the castle, I seemed to... instead I saw a figure rushing to the door quickly. . It was just too fast, I’m not sure if I was dazzled.”
"You read that right." Sarah on the side took over the conversation at the right time, "That's my doll—as you know, it's the one that sealed Haierbo's remaining soul."
"Yes, we do know this..."
Hermione nodded and told the others about her experience in the castle hall and the brief conversation she had with Harry after coming out.
After that, although she still wanted to tell everyone what she had heard from the old housekeeper. But to be honest, it is obviously not suitable for everyone to stay in this place for too long now. It is time to take action!
"In short, I still view 'our opponents' too simply, so I'll start with..."
While saying this, Hermione subconsciously turned her head again and took one last look at the door at the other end of the vestibule.
And at that moment, she and everyone gathered behind her saw the staggering figure walking out of the door that was about to be blocked again by the black mist.
"It's it!" Harry shouted loudly, "It's out!"
"Well, that's it."
Sarah nodded slightly, because the scene in front of her proved that the fact was just as she said before.
"McLean just controlled it to save you two?"
Safina on the other side seemed a little unconvinced. After all, how could that unfinished doll run so fast? Even though her attention was basically focused on the living corpses outside at that time, it was a bit strange that she couldn't notice it with her perceptual ability.
But soon, everyone's thoughts were no longer on these unimportant things, because they discovered...
"Look, is it...where is it going?" Ron said in a daze.
That's right! Although the figure was almost walking at a speed slower than crawling, at first people couldn't even tell the direction it was walking. But no matter how slow it goes, everyone should be able to see it by now - at least its direction at this time is definitely not towards the gate where they are!
"...It's the Forbidden Forest!"
After a moment of observation, Harry suddenly spoke loudly again.
He was no stranger to the Forbidden Forest! But what's more important now is that that guy Maka is obviously more familiar with the place than everyone here.
"Hermione, let's get over-"
"No!" Seeing that Harry was about to go there, Hermione grabbed his clothes, "Maybe Maka is in the Forbidden Forest - yes, I also think this is very possible. But we..." She couldn't help but glance towards the castle again, "It's best not to go there yet."
"But!"
"It won't go very far," she said, "but we do need to make some preparations."
Looking at Hermione with a determined look on her face, Harry could only take a deep breath and nodded helplessly, no matter how anxious he was.
"Let's go back to the lake," Hermione said.
…
On the periphery, large-scale wars are still going on.
But compared with the "bizarre" and "dangerous" things that Hermione and the others at the center of the disaster had to face, even if this tug-of-war continued to cause casualties, it might not be considered terrifying.
Speaking of which, this is all thanks to the subsequent reinforcements from the Blois family.
Because people gradually discovered that since the old housekeeper of the Blois family was "invited" by Sirius, reinforcements from the Blois family rushed to the disaster front one after another, and many large and small battlefields received their support.
In terms of quantity, it was far more than what the old butler had initially promised.
If you want to accurately place your vision within each battlefield, the battle situation is actually quite fierce - after all, the enemies they have to deal with are all powerful enemies they have never faced before!
"... Including my Blois family, the wizard teams of our four families are not bad in terms of combat effectiveness. Coupled with the magic that Mr. McLean reproduced for the Rossi family before, although it is difficult for others to do it, It reaches the level of him and Mr. Longbottom, but when used on small and medium-sized battlefields, at critical moments it is enough to offset the established defeat."
In the temporary command post in Hogsmeade Village, the old housekeeper was briefly describing the current war situation to the messenger sent by Madam Maxime and Fleur who had just arrived from Granger Camp.
"In addition," the old butler continued, "the pieces of rune equipment that Mr. McLean restored using ancient magic technology are said to have a great influence on several master craftsmen of the Matuseyevich family. Inspiration, maybe the birth of a new wizard armor is not too far away!"
Everyone here already knows what the "specialty" of the Matusievich family is, so after hearing the old housekeeper say this, both of them felt that it was natural.
However, how can those ancient rune equipment derived from the structure of the rune array and the engraving of runes be so easily copied
To be honest, the old housekeeper himself didn't believe that the guys from the Matuseyevich family could do anything with this. Even if it is finally done, let alone the time, it is difficult to expect the effect alone.
Of course, whether it was this matter or the current situation on the battlefield, the old steward did not actually express all his expectations - he knew very well that the next situation might not be good.
But he didn't say.
Because, besides this disaster-stricken battlefield, there are other things that require people's undivided attention.
"However," just as the two people present, especially the liaison person from the Federation, couldn't help but feel relieved, they heard the old butler's tone suddenly change, and he frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "The threat does not seem to be there yet. It’s not limited to the north... Let the two of you meet one person! I think it’s up to him to talk about this matter... "
