Chapter 1896

No response.

As soon as she got ashore, Hermione carefully observed it for a while. But it doesn't seem to make much sense to hide behind the grass by the river and watch secretly through the darkness of night and fog.

So after staring at the shadowy figure for a while, she tentatively threw a broken stone at the foot of a passing figure.

However, the test target Hermione chose did not respond to the stone rolling in front of her. She still walked past without pause with its rigid and strange walking posture.

Hermione was very puzzled about this - because if they didn't respond to such obvious news, were they really "patrolling" around the ancient city?

She stayed here again with some confusion. After reading for a while, Hermione quietly turned around and planned to go back to the river to discuss more with her friends.

However, as soon as she turned her head, she found that Neville and them seemed not at ease after all. She went ashore alone to explore, and they all swam to the shore quietly.

What made Hermione more concerned was Luna's sudden words:

"Hermione, they're all looking at us."

"What?"

Hearing this, Hermione hurriedly looked back subconsciously, but she didn't see the scene described by Luna - those inexplicable figures are still wandering around. Where are there signs of looking this way?

It's just, will Luna talk nonsense at such a time?

Thinking so, she couldn't help looking at those suspicious figures, and her heart suddenly filled with a sense of discomfort.

Yes, maybe... They have already found themselves, just because they don't need to use their eyes to observe the situation around them, so there's no need to "see" at all.

Combined with the action posture of these figures, which is completely different from human beings, this guess is very likely.

As for why they still didn't respond when they found Hermione and others... She doesn't know. Perhaps it is because they are all written by Maka, who has already "reminded" them who is their enemy?

Probably thinking of this, Neville volunteered:

"I'll see if they can communicate... Hermione, you're here to cover me."

Then, holding his wand tightly, he slowly left the river and walked to one of the figures who was about to pass by the road ahead.

Seeing this, Hermione wanted to hold him, but after thinking about it, she gave up the idea of stopping him and took out a gravity Rune card.

Of course, she still remembers Neville's words "this is Maka's territory, so don't worry too much", and I believe everyone present agrees with this sentence.

Soon, everyone saw Neville holding a magic wand and walking very carefully to the roadside. As long as the figure continues to walk in a straight line, it is bound to pass in front of him.

In fact, although Neville did say that just now, he was still a little nervous. After all, although he still trusted Maka, he was obviously not completely sure who the owner of the place was now.

"Da, Da, Da, Da..."

Although the walking posture of the figure getting closer and closer in the fog is rigid and treacherous, the rhythm of each step is particularly accurate and regular, which makes people think of the second hand on the clock.

After a few seconds, Neville saw that the other party's body finally became more and more clear in his vision.

Indeed, it is a "person"... Or at least a "very human" person. The next person as like as two peas in the body is tall, strong and even muscular. Each other has only a gray old cloth gown, which looks like a strong body and makes the cloth stretched a little tight. It seems that the whole person is full of strength.

However, when Neville gradually saw each other's face... It may only be described by the word "terrible".

It's like a sculptor who has lost interest in this work after carving a complete body very carefully. He scratched some traces randomly where it should have been his face, and then finished the work.

It's more like some symbols than facial features. It looks scary on the face.

"Da, Da, Da..."

Of course, the more important thing is obviously the other party's response to Neville's "existence". But after adjusting his mind, he saw that the other party just passed by in front of him as if nothing had happened. He didn't even stop.

Looking at the back of the road that was returning and gradually disappearing, Neville turned his head and gently shook his head at Hermione and them.

"How's it going?" Hermione asked softly, simply walking up to him.

"Anyway," Neville said after a pause, as if he didn't know what to say. "In short, it's not human... Well, it shouldn't be?"

At this time, Ron couldn't help proposing:

"Since these strange guys didn't respond to our appearance, we'd better go to the church last time! If Maka was still there, wouldn't we understand everything?"

At this point, he thought about it, and then he couldn't help adding:

"... besides, didn't Mr. brova stay here last time? If he and Maka were here, I don't think anything would happen here even if helbo came in person."

Hearing Ron's words, Hermione had to nod because they didn't seem to have more choices.

"Well," she said, "let's go and see... Of course, we can avoid these guys, just in case."

With such a total, they cleaned up the water stains on their bodies and gradually walked along the road to the cathedral they had been to in Neville last time.

Oh, except Harry - because only he was carried by Ginny with a broom.

I have to say that after entering the ancient city of Winchester, although everyone feels that it has become very strange, at least it is very safe here! Apart from the occasional movement of fighting in the distance, there was no more threatening situation.

A moment later, even if they tried to avoid as much as Hermione said, they arrived at their destination soon.

"That's it," Neville said, looking at the tall Church in front of him. "Last time we went inside under the guidance of those black flame wizards and saw Maka and them."
