Chapter 2161

Hermione got up early again today.

I can't help it. I can't do it without getting up earlier, because Safina and Mr. brova, who went out for inspection, have been discovering that the living corpses a little farther east are beginning to change again.

The density is increasing and the activity is also increasing, and these phenomena obviously have a tendency to spread here. Even if it is only an optimistic estimate, it will at least be a precursor to the migration of a large number of living corpses here; To say the worst, it does not rule out that demons will drive the tide of corpses.

Because of this, Safina and blova didn't come back to rest in the evening as usual in the past two days - they extended their patrol route again, and didn't stop even at night, just so that they could find out in advance once there was a large-scale wave of corpses.

Although it is said that at present, this stronghold centered on the burrow has been built like an iron wall with the unremitting efforts of everyone. Even if there is a wave of corpses, we believe it can be withstood here.

However, regardless of the high-level corpses, at least if there are demons coming... Whether this heavy protection can resist is still unknown.

"Hermione, longfro of the East Tower asked me to find a time to ask if we need to add more magic traps in addition to the gravity traps in the east? At present, our main defense is the East. No matter how careful we are, we can't be wrong..."

While Hermione was staring at the map in the downstairs living room a little before breakfast, Neville had gone to the East Tower and came back. It seems that he got up earlier than Hermione today.

After hearing what Neville said, Hermione shook her head and said clearly:

"There's some truth, but still can't - at present, the magic traps that can really form enough effects must be designed and made by Hannah and me on the basis of regular runes, otherwise Sarah will have to use Alchemy to do it. When the traps arranged outside really need to be started, they can't be well maintained, and finally they can only become consumables That's a waste. "

Neville nodded when he heard the speech, but he couldn't help saying:

"However, there is no way to configure more magic spells on the tower, and the effect of arranging protection on the defense line in the alchemy barrier is not very good -"

Neville actually wanted to say more about the defensive measures of the stronghold, but Hermione suddenly waved her hand and stopped him from going on.

"I know what you said, and I understand everyone's eagerness and worry about the security of the stronghold after the attack of the giant demon... However, as you said, we actually can't arrange more protection." she said seriously, "this is the fact - at least with our current ability, it's the limit."

Yes, Hermione is right.

In fact, to be honest, almost none of us who can come here voluntarily are afraid of death, but they are afraid of dying without action, achievement and struggle.

Now this stronghold is very important, both practical and symbolic.

However, because the enemy is too powerful, we can only continuously arm this stronghold in the way we can, so that we can get some peace of mind in the continuous action.

However, what can be done is always limited. When the big guys found that they had armed the whole stronghold to the teeth, but still had no absolute confidence to deal with the coming crisis, every drop of sweat over this period of time turned into pressure and pressed everyone's heart.

Naturally, there is such pressure in Neville's heart... Or, in fact, almost everyone in this stronghold is the same.

But just then, Hermione suddenly took her eyes back from the map and suddenly looked up.

"So, in fact, the 'bad news' brought back by Miss Geoffrey and Mr. brova may be a good thing for us!"

"Bad news?" Neville was stunned as soon as he heard it, but soon he also reacted, "do you mean that there were changes in the living corpses in the east?"

"Yes!" Hermione explained, "just because we have done all the preparations we can do, then we will wait for a chance to verify the results - if we hold our breath for a long time, we will certainly have anxiety and even decline our morale."

"You know so much!"

Neville thought about it for a while and felt that it really made sense, because what Hermione said was actually staged in the stronghold.

But Hermione was not very happy when she was praised by Neville. She just shook her head and said:

"I'm just trying a little bit according to the book! I said to let you read more books... But now I don't have so much time to read."

"Oh, Hermione, you remind me of those days at Hogwarts."

Neville sighed, then quickly waved to her, turned and walked to the door.

"Anyway, I see what you mean - I'll go to the East Tower again so that longfro and them don't have to think about the useless."

Behind him, Hermione, who was still sitting at the table, just looked at the figure of him leaving for a while, and then focused on the map in front of him again.

Needless to say, what Neville just said also reminded Hermione of some memories.

To be honest, life at Hogwarts was not always pleasant. Even because of Voldemort's constant tossing at that time, it left many bad memories for everyone.

But now, no matter how bad the experience at that time was, it gradually became a luxury beauty in today's much more terrible every day.

Yes, it's so beautiful that people don't want to think about it, because it will make everyone feel more and more sad when they have to return to reality.

A moment later, Hannah came with today's breakfast as usual. However, it was Mr. brova, who should still be patrolling in the East, who followed her into the living room.

"... Miss Granger, the mummies are speeding up this way, and... To me and Geoffrey, they seem to be organized."

When brova said this, Hermione immediately put down her breakfast and stood up.

"In other words... Things may be more serious than we originally expected?"
