When a mass of silver light rose from the center of the town and the bright light sprinkled on the whole town from mid air, a large amount of silver light poured in like water outside the doors and windows of the hall of the new Ministry of magic, illuminating the whole large hall.
Maka stood by the sand table of the spiral town and looked at the glow outside the door, which was like a full moon night, splashing on the marble floor.
This spiral town is not built directly on the surface. All light depends on magic. From the beginning of the design, the night lighting of the town was limited to street lamps. There were no stars. Where did the moonlight come from?
"What's going on?"
He could feel that there was a magic wave in the silver light, which was obviously caused by magic. However, this magic has no hidden evil intention and is harmless.
Because of this, he didn't become too nervous after seeing this abnormal scene.
"Mr. McLean?"
A guard guarding the door ran in from the outside and looked at him with a slightly worried look, obviously asking what they were going to do.
"Don't worry. Just stay where you are. I'll go out and have a look."
Maka waved her hand and hurried out of the hall to the steps outside. Suddenly he saw that there was a silver ball of light like the moon hanging in the sky, plating a layer of soft light on the buildings of the whole spiral town.
At this moment, the men and women wizards who had just moved in the town put their heads out of the window, looked at the sky and whispered.
Looking over there, it should be over the central square. Maka couldn't help frowning slightly.
"... is that the statue?"
Because there were too many things at hand, he put aside the problem of the mercury statue for the time being. But he didn't study it, but the statue "took the initiative" to make some noise.
"Who moved it over there?"
Thinking so, with a gentle cushion under Maka's foot, she flew straight into the sky in the eyes of several guards at the door.
……
"Luna!"
When Ron watched each other pulled in by the silver statue, he found that he could only worry. Because the change at that moment was so fast that even if he was very close to Luna, he didn't have time to make any response.
"Luna, are you okay? Get out -"
The next moment, he rushed forward and tried to reach into the flowing mercury to pull Luna out. Strangely, obviously Luna easily put her hand into it, but he felt like he was touching a very tough metal. Even if he tried his best, he only pushed the skirt that seemed as thin as a gauze curtain.
"Luna? Can you hear me? Luna..."
Ron was shouting anxiously. Several wizards who had been resting and chatting in the square surrounded him, and two kind women wanted to help him.
Unfortunately, whether by hand or by magic spell, everything seems to be in vain.
When Ron began to worry about whether Luna would suffocate in the mercury statue, suddenly, a strange force gently pushed everyone around a few feet away.
Ron's feet were unsteady and he plopped down on the ground. Then he saw that the statue suddenly raised his hands and quietly lifted up like holding something.
Immediately, two streams of flowing mercury flew from the palm of the statue, intertwined with each other in a double helix, and rushed to the high altitude of the square.
Then, it was the scene that everyone in the town had seen before - a mass of silver brilliance condensed in the air and spread all over the town as soft brilliance.
Gradually, more and more people were attracted by the light above, and more and more people around the square. Among them, it includes the taweng who has been looking at this side from the tower near the square... Oh, no, it's Mr. Gunter.
"Mira..."
He stood in a corner behind the crowd, silently looked at the silver figure holding his hands in the middle of the square, and whispered the forgotten name in a voice that only he could hear.
Finally, a moment later, a figure suddenly flew from the air not far away, crossed all the heads and fell next to the mercury statue in the middle of the square.
The invisible thrust diffused from the statue still existed, but he only paused a little when approaching, and then easily "pushed" the repulsion force into the range that no one could approach with the help of the flow of magic.
"Ron?"
Ron, who is still sitting on the ground, is undoubtedly the most prominent person around. Marca soon caught a glimpse of his existence.
"What's the matter? What happened?"
Looking at Ron's anxious face, he couldn't help asking, and then he heard Ron stand up and say:
"It's Luna! Luna was dragged in by the statue and is still in it!"
"What?"
When Maka heard the speech, she hurried back again and came to the statue with the stronger thrust the closer she was. Then, just like Ron just now, he stretched out his hand and pressed it.
Without exception, his hand was also blocked on the surface of the statue, without the slightest intention of falling into it like Luna.
But, of course, Marca had no intention of reaching in with brute force like Ron. He just felt the magic wave carefully according to the slowly flowing mercury.
This is not the first time he has checked the statue. He has checked it twice before. But maybe it was because the statue had not really started like this before, and he didn't feel anything different from it in the previous two times.
But this time, the traces of the magic flow are quite different.
"Sure enough... It's Alchemy."
Although he had not studied alchemy in depth, he was not good at it.
But before that, he had seen many products of Chinese alchemy, including even close to the top alchemy achievements such as Sorcerer's stone and Sarah.
If Nicole LeMay's magic stone is the peak of material alchemy, then the Artificial Life Sarah is a great product only one step away from the peak of spiritual alchemy.
The mercury statue in front of him at the moment may be far away from Sarah, but it is also an outstanding product in front of spiritual alchemy.
It can be said that from the moment Luna entered the statue, the statue was equivalent to life - this is her most complete form.
"Luna..."
Suddenly, Maka took down the hand pressed on the statue, raised her head and said to the other party:
"Stop playing and come out!"
