Chapter 899

For the creatures living on the earth, the falling of meteorites is undoubtedly extremely terrible.

Depending on the composition, sometimes just a hundred feet of extraterrestrial rocks can leave a huge crater with a diameter of more than kilometers on the ground, not to mention the terrible disaster caused by the terrible shock wave.

What Maka and old Eun chose was a "big guy" with an actual size of nearly 300 feet (100 meters)!

Of course, in terms of the magical nature of comet Hale BOPP, its main components are by no means those high specific gravity metals in alchemy.

Although, it also seems to contain a certain metal component in a high proportion.

According to the magic throwing phenomenon when the two comet nuclei collided with each other at that time, Maka could guess the scene when the big stone less than 300 feet hit the ground, so he chose to set up a rune array in Azkaban.

Since those Dementors were all made by helbo, it's better to let them directly accompany helbo's Horcruxes into dust - that's Maka's idea when deciding where to fall.

However, no matter what kind of ideas he had, they have become empty talk with the unexpected changes.

"Wow -"

In the ancient magic office, Maka crumpled another piece of parchment and threw it at her feet.

Of course he won't compromise... The more he finds it too late, the more he has to hurry up and find a way. If all the teachers and students in Hogwarts were forced to leave school, what face would he have to continue to fight Haier Bo?

Unfortunately, everything else is easy to say, that is, there is no room for carelessness in data. Even if he can not eat, drink or sleep for three months, there is no possibility of starting calculation without basic data.

"Wow -"

In just a few minutes, he constructed a sketch of a rune array again, but he still squeezed it into a ball and threw it aside.

It is also impractical to use the power of runic array to forcibly slow down the falling speed of meteorites.

"Since it is impossible to bear it directly, then... What if we try to intercept it as early as possible?"

After thinking about it, Maka dipped the feather pen in her hand and buried her head in writing again. Just before long, he rubbed off a meaningless piece of waste paper and couldn't help raising his hand to rub the center of his eyebrows.

Since he came back, he has been frowning for too long, and he has felt bursts of acid swelling in his eyebrows.

However, there is no time for him to rest at the moment!

A moment later, he bent over again and began to write and draw, and this was the whole night.

I don't know how long it took. When the first ray of sunrise suddenly came into the gap of the curtain, Maka looked up tired.

"It's sunny today?"

He twisted his slightly stiff neck and inadvertently swept the remaining light from the corners of his eyes, but he caught a glimpse of a familiar map of the solar system where the sun shone.

"Oh?"

Suddenly, he was stunned, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

……

This night, Maka obviously had a very tired time.

But his fatigue is not that he didn't sleep - after all, staying up all night has already become a habit of him. In fact, his fatigue comes from pressure.

It was the same night, but another person had a very hard time.

Almost yesterday, when Marca returned to the office, Hermione was lying on her soft bed, huddled under the quilt and staring at the night sky outside the window.

At that time, it was still snowing outside, and the momentum was not small. She could hardly see anything from the bedroom window.

But it didn't matter to her.

Because she was not looking at the outside scenery, but constantly speculated about Maka's whereabouts through this "looking from a distance".

"Why did he resign? Why did he leave without saying goodbye? What on earth was he going to do?"

To tell the truth, because Marca had been with them all day before she left, she couldn't help being suspicious.

It's like Maka may not come back once she leaves.

So, when thinking about it, Hermione's heart became more and more restless.

She turned back and forth in bed, but her mind was full of imagination that she would never see Marca again. Finally, she couldn't even close her eyes and sleep, let alone try to sleep.

About an hour later, Hermione suddenly lifted the warm quilt and put on her clothes in the dark.

When she opened the bedroom door and went to the common room, she didn't want to stay here, so she simply quietly walked into the corridor outside the door.

The fat lady in the portrait is still dozing off. Hermione goes out without waking her up.

Hermione, who always feels restless, actually wants to sneak away from Hogwarts and go to the outside world to find the trace of Maka.

But reason told her that such behavior was tantamount to mischief.

So Hermione, who had no good idea, took a silent walk in the dark corridor.

Perhaps her behavior can not be described as "walking", because walking is usually purposeful at least. But she kept burying her head in the place where there was no light. In fact, she was no different from a blind mouse.

But when she passed a window by chance, a vague figure suddenly appeared on the top of the astronomical tower at the other end of the castle, which attracted her attention.

"... who is that?"

Hermione unconsciously held the windowsill gently and looked over through the misty snow curtain. The night without the moon makes everything seem to be soaked in ink, and even the outline can't be seen at all.

Just out of her years of familiarity with Hogwarts, she was sure that someone should be there.

Just for this night, Hermione no longer hesitated about where she should go. She turned and walked in the direction of the astronomical tower.

But she didn't know. In fact, just a moment ago, she just needed to turn another corner, and she could see a brightly lit window from the window on the other side

Soon Hermione hurried down the corridor to the corridor from the main castle to the astronomy tower.

To reach the astronomical tower from the castle, you must pass through such an open-air tower bridge connecting the tower and the main castle. Now, as soon as she came outside, the strong wind mixed with flying snow immediately cooled her all over.

The snow scraped against Hermione's warm and delicate cheek, like a small knife cutting her face, so that she had to lift her sleeve to block her side face.

After all, it's Christmas night. The whole year is about to turn. It's a cold winter.

Fortunately, the bridge was not long. She hurriedly trotted a few steps against the unique high-altitude wind, soon pushed open the door of the opposite tower and plunged into the windless room.

After hastily closing the door, she leaned her back against the door that was still slightly trembling by the wind and took a few breaths of relief - now she has been considering whether she should walk on the platform at the top of the astronomical Tower!

But when she recovered, she glanced back and forth in the room, and the starlight suddenly stunned her.

"Ah!"

A few seconds later, Hermione could not help but realize that this was the starry sky cafe that Marca brought them during the day?

The Gryffindor common room is located at the top of the main castle, and the top of the astronomy tower is the highest place in Hogwarts. By comparison, she came from here, which naturally happened to be the astronomy class.

Generally speaking, when we need to take astronomy classes, we don't go to the astronomy tower on the top floor of the main castle, because almost every floor will have an corridor tower bridge like that just now.

So Hermione didn't react this time.

Just after being surprised by the little star light, her eyes gradually darkened a little - well, it seems that Maka was sitting at the round table with them in the morning?

She walked over and gently stroked the table, but even if there had been any traces left at that time, now it had been cleaned up by Professor xinista with a magic spell.

Standing at the table for a moment, Hermione finally shook her head and slowly moved her eyes to the spiral wooden ladder to the top of the tower.

After a little meal, she still plans to go up once. Even if she didn't want to see who the figure she just found was, she actually wanted to calm herself down with the biting cold wind.

"Squeak --"

The trap door on the top of the stairs was a little sluggish because of the cold snow. It not only needed a lot of effort to open it, but also made a harsh friction sound.

Knowing that there should be someone above, the sound made Hermione's push on the door panel pause a little, and then continued to push it away.

At the moment when she poked her head out of the door, she was blinded by the wind and snow. She tried to narrow the gap and looked out. Only then did she see that there was a dark shadow looking at her.

Unfortunately, even here, I can't see clearly - it's too dark outside, and the wind and snow are frightening. It's the limit of this distance to distinguish the front from the back.

I don't know what Hermione thought. Until now, she seemed to feel a little empty in her heart.

No, I have to say. In fact, she realized that it must be a very suspicious thing for someone to hang around on the astronomical tower so late. Maybe it was because she thought of this that she tried to come here to have a look, and she acted alone.

But if you want to ask her why she did this... I'm afraid it has a lot to do with Maka's "leaving without saying goodbye".

"... who's there?"

While shouting this sentence, Hermione touched the wand in her sleeve with a tiny movement - she had hidden it in her sleeve since Marca taught her.

It seems that this has become a habit of her.

However, her question was not answered.
