"Ah!"
Suddenly, Luna, who was sitting on the base of the mercury statue in the middle of the square, couldn't help shouting, which made Neville, who was not far away, look back.
"What's the matter?"
"Oh, nothing," Luna shook her hands. "The bracelet Marca gave me suddenly burned. Maybe... Those bad things are coming soon?"
Neville could not help gripping the wand in his hand.
"Finally?"
"Yes!" Luna said as she stood up and patted the dust on her ass. "since Marca gave the signal, it's time to get ready."
Before the words fell, Neville watched her climb up the base briskly, and skillfully extended her hand to the mercury statue with thousands of postures, like a living creature.
Soon, Luna was slowly wrapped in those bright and soft mercury, and the whole person got into it.
After a while, the originally vague face of the mercury statue seemed to have the delicate outline of Luna's face.
"Get there... Don't you feel out of breath?"
While Neville was whispering in his heart, he saw that the statue that became more and more like Luna suddenly raised his arms. Then, two magic shields began to form over the statue, and quickly spread towards the edge of spiral town.
……
"Mr. lupin, the army of corpses has broken into the urban area of Canterbury and is coming here quickly!"
"I see."
In the hall on the ground floor of the new Ministry of magic, the previous busyness has calmed down, and all personnel are no longer in a hurry. Because up to now, what everyone should do has been done. Even if there are any omissions, they can only be adjusted according to the temporary judgment of Lu Ping's leaders.
"Send the message to Secretary schacker immediately! Be ready to turn on all protective measures at any time... But don't worry yet. Wait for McLean's signal."
"Yes!"
Several Herald wizards waiting nearby answered Lupin's message at the same time, and then left the hall immediately.
After the people who delivered the news went out, Lu Ping looked back and looked down at the sand table of spiral town - you can see that the layout of the town is clear at a glance at this moment.
The suppression teams of Kingsley who withdrew from the front line have guarded the intersection of the four directions of spiral town together with the supporting Wizards of the Federation. Although there is only one entrance, no one can predict which direction they will attack if even Haier Bo comes.
In addition to the wizards, the wild elves fooled by Maka from the island have also stationed at the edge of the town. They are responsible for the sky over the town.
Of course, before the corpse army enters the interior of the town, the first thing they need to overcome is obviously the defense of two magic shields.
Just thinking so, Lupin suddenly looked back and happened to see that there were already two translucent magic films spreading in the dark sky. The two shields with different colors overlap each other and emit light brilliance. At first glance, they are more gorgeous than the aurora of the north and south poles.
"Come on! Success or failure depends on tonight..."
While whispering like this, Lupin could not help but gradually clench the wand in his palm.
……
When the army of corpses attacked, no one in spiral town could help but gradually tighten their nerves. But there are only two people, but they don't think about how they should protect the town and wipe out the enemy next.
One of them was Marka, who remained calm all the time except for Hermione's injury - even when he was seriously injured and unconscious and couldn't use both arms afterwards, he didn't seem to shake too much at all.
To say the other person, it is probably Marca's unexpected "good daughter" Delphi.
Right now, she is staying on the central square of the town like Neville... Or by Luna's side. Whenever Neville accidentally looks back to the other side of the mercury statue, she must see that she is staring at the statue integrated with Luna.
Neville didn't know what Delphi was thinking, and... Maybe the girl was so beautiful that Neville didn't dare to talk to each other.
But even if he didn't speak, Neville could see that Delphi seemed to have a lot of worries in his heart, which was difficult to explain to others.
As an inarticulate man, Neville knew that if this state lasted too long, he would get sick - he was a good example before.
"Delphi... Uh, miss?"
Neville himself found it awkward to start the conversation with a somewhat nondescript address.
But there was no way, because Delphi hardly told anyone his last name - at least Neville obviously didn't know it.
After all, if she had to choose, she would certainly want others to call herself "Miss McLean", but it's hard to explain to others.
Needless to say, in that case, others will definitely misunderstand the relationship between her and Maka.
"Well?"
When Neville on the other side spoke, Delphi looked away from the statue and looked opposite.
"What's the matter, Mr. Longbottom?"
"Oh, no... it's just that the enemy will arrive outside the town at any time. We'd better be careful and concentrate more."
Neville said so, but then he shook his head and said:
"Ah! Sorry, I forgot that your strength is much better than me... Maybe my suggestion has no great reference value for you..."
"No, please don't say that - Mr. Longbottom's strength can also be called a leader in modern magic! Well, you're right. I was too absorbed in what I thought just now."
A sense of distance!
To be honest, Neville doesn't want to have a deep friendship with each other, and he is also a person with a girlfriend now. Naturally, he won't think about what he has or doesn't have with his character.
Not to mention, girls like Delphi, who are "high and cold" in any way, are the most difficult type for Neville.
However, not to mention this, for Marca's sake at least, Neville still hopes to make friends with each other - it is likely that he will fight together next. He doesn't want to even talk to each other is a very difficult thing.
Unfortunately, the rejection and rejection from Delphi made the two people feel more and more distant after talking.
"When did this feeling of alienation... Become more and more intense?"
