The windows on one side of the corridor, one after another, let the afternoon sun penetrate silently, dividing the whole corridor into light and dark space.
With the medieval architectural style of brova fort, walking in it always gives people a wonderful sense of separation, as if they are shuttling back and forth through time and space.
However, Maka will not have this illusion - because he knows very well that the real shuttle of time and space is never as relaxed and leisurely as this.
A moment later, she saw that Maka finally came to the end of the straight corridor, and then turned into another corridor behind the corner.
Here, there are no windows that can shine into the sun. There are only doors and magic wall lamps placed in the corridor as the brightness decreases.
However, after leaving the sun, Maka seems to have become a little easier.
After all, although the magic light is not much less than the sunlight, it can still shine brightly on the corridor. But at least, it doesn't bring a reassuring temperature like the sun.
Yes, Marca doesn't like the warmth at all now. Because although it makes people feel comfortable, it is not what he is qualified to enjoy at present.
"Click."
Just as Maka was halfway down the corridor, suddenly Luna's door was opened not far ahead. Then Noah's chubby figure squeezed out of the door frame.
"Marca, are you here too?"
Ron came out after Noah. As soon as he saw Marca, he took the lead in saying hello here.
"Yes!"
Marca answered, but her eyes still stayed on Noah. It can be seen that at the moment, the fat man's face is still vaguely with a little thinking expression, so that he clearly went out before Ron, but he didn't find Maka until Ron spoke.
"What's the matter, Noah? What are you thinking?"
Maka didn't stop and walked towards them. After seeing Noah stunned and shook his head, he turned and said:
"Are you going downstairs?"
"Well," Ron nodded as Marca said, "I just brought Noah to see Luna. Now I'm going to talk to Percy about alchemy with him. You know, Percy now hopes to find a way suitable for himself... Of course, so am I!"
"Do you want to try alchemy?" Marca said, "well, I'll see you later!"
He waved his hand, passed them, and turned to the door where they had just come out. From beginning to end, Noah couldn't even say a word.
"Hey, man, what are you thinking?"
"Oh, no, nothing... I'm just wondering what to say to you later? HMM... what do you think of starting from the origin of the four elements?"
"Four elements? Do you mean 'copper, tin, silver and gold'?"
"No! Those are the four conventional materials of crucibles... Incidentally, crucibles are often used in alchemy, but we can only use gold... Of course, if you are short of money, you can make do with gold-plated ones..."
Soon Noah and Ron went away with the sound of their conversation.
……
No matter what the fat young master's Alchemy level is, at least he has been inherited and educated by the hornheim family. He still has a very solid basic knowledge of alchemy. Maka is not worried that he will "teach Ron and Percy badly".
As for whether the Weasley brothers have that talent in alchemy, Maka doesn't know. After all, even he himself is not so familiar with this subject.
For the moment, he was just a little concerned about Noah's state - it was obvious that the guy was always worried after he came out of Luna's room.
"... are you embarrassed?"
Marca, who had just stepped into the room, just had a brief meal, then put aside her thoughts for the time being and smiled at Hermione and Hannah who looked at her.
"Is everything all right here? Nothing unusual has happened?"
"No, no," replied Hermione, gently closing the book that seemed to have just been opened and sitting in the armchair by the bed. "Everything is fine except that she can't wake up."
"Yes."
Maka nodded slightly. After glancing at Luna on the bed, she also sat down.
"I won't say any polite words like 'hard work'. I don't think you like it. But... I just heard that you do the cleaning yourself?"
"This will at least make us feel more at ease," said Hermione softly, glancing at Hannah, who was cooking tea in front of the fireplace. "Of course, the maid at brova castle may do better than the two of us combined - you know, we just want to come by ourselves, just to make ourselves feel better."
Hannah has always been Luna's good friend. Although they belong to different colleges in Hogwarts, they are somewhat similar in character and temper. It's nothing strange to do such a trivial thing for a good friend who is sleeping.
As for Hermione, she was "saved" by Luna, not to mention.
"All right!"
Marca shrugged slightly and just wanted to change the subject and say something else so that Hermione and Hannah's hearts wouldn't be so tense all the time. But who knows, before he could speak again, Hermione, sitting on the other side of the bed, said first:
"Marca, can you tell me more about the Hogwarts castle you mentioned just after lunch?"
For Hogwarts, who had been with us for nearly six years, suddenly collapsed overnight, Hermione's shock and sadness may be deeper than Maka. After all, if you really want to calculate carefully, they have been studying and living in school for a longer time than Marca in Hogwarts.
So to be honest, Maka doesn't want to describe the situation last night in too much detail.
However, as Hogwarts students, Hermione and them obviously have the right to know more about the destruction of the school.
Maka looked back and forth on the faces of the two girls, and saw that Hannah, who was always a little timid, gave a serious nod. He smiled bitterly, and then said his battle with meteorites and Haier Bo in more detail.
This narrative took a lot of time. When he said he left the ruins of the castle and came to brova castle, he had drunk two cups of black tea cooked by Hannah.
However, it is obvious that it is certainly impossible to mention Hermione and them about the secret room of hatch patch and the mysterious stone box he found.
"Well, I've drunk the tea and made it clear..." Maka suddenly put down her tea cup and said, "well, you go down and relax with everyone first! I want to check Luna again."
