Chapter 456

"Huh?"

Maka did see that the vines reacted violently to the tower's repulsive aura. But unexpectedly, it didn't move.

Or, its noumenon can't move at all?

It can be seen that it should be some kind of plant.

Although there are many magic plants with action ability in the magic world, like Mandela grass, they can pull their roots out of the ground and run with their legs at dusk or night.

But more are some plants that have been rooted in the soil all their life. They can't come and go on the ground at will.

"It seems that our hopes are going to be lost," Maka turned her head and shrugged at Hermione and Luna.

But Hermione shook her head.

"If the Elves were forced to leave here, it would be pathetic -" she whispered. "We can't rely on this way to let them go with us, even if it was just an accident."

"Maybe you're right," Marca smiled at her.

Before long, the elves gathered in the tower under the leadership of old lac. Maka, who had just come down from the top of the tower, was trying to tell them what was going on outside, but before he could speak, he found that this large group of crowded elves seemed to want to go there and have a close look.

"Lac, is this necessary?" makashun asked. "There is no sign of movement. It doesn't seem to come here."

"But that won't work," old Lacker shook his head. "Those vines have been causing the magic of the tower, which will make the island a mess! Moreover, that thing is absorbing magic, and it continues to grow... The elf must solve it."

Such a large group of elves really have considerable power, which is the reason why Maka wants to persuade them to go to Hogwarts.

Since they want to go and have a look, Maka naturally has no reason to stop.

After all, whoever finds an inexplicable source of danger suddenly emerging in front of his house will probably try to get rid of it. Otherwise, most of them can't sleep well.

What's more, these little guys are very clever. If the unidentified creature can move, of course, it's another matter; But if it can't move, as long as the elves don't go too deep, it probably won't pose much threat.

"Then let's stay here and wait for you to come back!" Marca nodded. "Although I'd like to see it with you, it's still too dangerous for both of them."

Maka took Luna and Hermione with him just to protect them at any time. Now he doesn't want to leave the two girls.

After Lao lac and his people disappeared and left, Maka, Luna and Hermione returned to the top of the tower and continued to observe the movement there.

It is worth mentioning that Hermione behind Maka looks very complicated.

Although she was very happy that Maka wanted to protect herself, this constant protection would only make her feel useless.

"Why don't we follow him?"

Hermione really wanted to say that. She thought so several times. But she knew that she could not say such a thing, because she knew her strength very well, and her confidence could not make her say it without scruples.

She found that she was calmer when she acted with Marca than when she was with Harry and Ron. This calmness can make her brain turn faster, but at the same time, it will make her more cautious.

Of course, even smart as Hermione, in this case, I can't understand where this calmness, which is a little too much, comes from.

But in fact, it's just that she cares too much about her image in front of Maka.

Subconsciously, she didn't want Marca to see any flaws about herself. The impetus of Gryffindor college, which originated from her heart, was usually "calmly" denied by herself just before she was about to show the "rough" side.

In contrast, Luna, who obeys her heart all the time, obviously doesn't think so much as she does.

"Maka, we have to go and have a look -" Luna looked at the vines in the north of the island in a trance. "I think Dad and sing the opposite tune will like it."

"Oh, you may be right, but I don't think that's a good idea," Marca objected. "Look, those vines are strong and there are too many - you'll be very unsafe there."

As Maka said, the elves are obviously there now. Their arrival obviously made the thing more restless.

Countless vines are whipping around, and the trees in that area have been completely damaged.

But just then, the elves' counterattack began!

A large number of magic beams flickered in the jungle. The advantage of cluster operation made the battle site move forward continuously, and the powerful vines encountered along the way were broken one by one.

It seems that the elves are going well.

But before long, their progress slowed down. The more you move forward, the more vines there are, and the more densely they are distributed. Even the strength of the vine pumping seems to have increased a lot.

Maka also noticed that the vines seemed to regenerate. Because the originally reduced vines increased again on the route passed by the elves. Look at the way they keep waving. It's no different from the previous ones.

Normally, creatures occupying such a large area of territory should be so big that they can't even be covered by the tree canopy. But now Maka didn't find any trace of noumenon. It seems that the noumenon of that thing is not as huge as he initially expected.

Of course, there seems to be another possibility.

"Haven't those vines actually been completely unearthed? Or are they still underground?"

Although he didn't want to leave Luna and Hermione in the tower, he seemed more cautious after the last incident. But if, for some reason, those elves suffer losses in this situation, it is also not a good result.

For him, these elves are going to bring them to Hogwarts to help. He should take care of them in both emotion and reason.

Besides, Hermione seemed a little impatient.

"Maka..." she said anxiously, "will those elves be all right?"

"You stay here and don't go anywhere -" Maka glanced over there again, and then carefully warned, "there are still many places in this magic tower that I don't understand. To tell you the truth, I'm not secure to keep you here. If there's any situation, don't consider it and leave immediately with this."

He slipped the door key and a small piece of paper into Hermione's and Luna's hands respectively. At the same time, he added: "the way to start it is very simple. Remember what I taught in magic class? This is also an application of magic combination. When using it, just lean the piece of paper with runes on it."

"But..."

Hermione looked at the door key in her hand, and her cheeks flushed.

She wanted to ask when she came, but the words she wanted to ask seemed stuck in her throat and couldn't hold them out.

"Don't worry, they're not worn." Maka nodded solemnly. "Well, remember what I said, and I'll be back soon."

Before the voice fell, Maka ran downstairs quickly and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Luna looked down at what Hermione was holding, and then reached out and touched it.

"Pure cotton, it must be very comfortable to wear..." she said in a dreamy way, "it's a pity that it's men's."

Hermione pursed her mouth and looked stiff. She didn't know how to answer.

On the other hand, Maka didn't care. But I saw him running fast in the forest, and the surrounding trees could hardly affect his speed.

When he galloped all the way to the vine breeding area, he slowed down the momentum of running and observed from left to right.

It can be seen that those vines break through the earth directly from the ground. If you search from the ground, you can't find the orientation of the body by vision alone.

But in his induction, the magic flow caused by the thing absorbing magic pointed out the direction for him.

He didn't hesitate too much. The shorter the time to keep Luna and Hermione in the tower, the better. Therefore, he chose to rush straight to the goal.

On the way forward, vines came to him from all directions, with great force cutting through the air and even causing a roar.

These vines don't look too strong from a long distance, but now they are close enough to find that they also have the thickness of their arms.

Holding the staff in her hand, Maka uses the low temperature to slow them down a little for a moment, and takes this opportunity to pass quickly. Because they obviously regenerate, there is no need to waste energy to cut them off.

The more you go forward, the stronger and stronger the vines become, and hard and sharp thorns grow on them. The previous cold was not enough to stop them from waving. Maka had to strengthen the cold again to maintain the previous forward speed.

Soon, when the ground began to be covered with vines, he saw the posture of the elves shaking in front of him.

Those little guys are still pushing forward, although the pace is a little slow, but there are not too many difficulties. As for those that slow down their propulsion efficiency, it is the dark green vine winding and twisting on the ground.

On those vines, there are many small bulges. Whenever those bulged bags burst open, they always burst out a green fog.

While fighting with the vines, some of the elves are constantly using magic to disperse the green fog, but a light green has been covered around them.
