"Sorry, the master is out."
Towards the evening, Hermione, who had just studied the formation structure with Luna and Hannah all afternoon, left the room and went to the main hall as usual - if the "Lord of the living corpse" was still in London, they could basically find each other there.
It's a pity that Hermione made almost every trip in vain these two days.
And the young corpse left at the gate of the temple... Well, the younger brother of the Gemini has only one answer every time.
However, the boy would not stop others from entering the hall. Hermione went in for a walk yesterday. The master was really not in there. Only the door leading to the back hall can't be opened. Maybe there are some secrets hidden behind it.
Hermione didn't try to open it by force. First, it's easy to scare the snake even if there's something hidden. Second, it doesn't seem necessary to dig too deep at present, does it?
Even Sarah and Safina, who are secretly suspicious, don't want to act rashly! Not to mention Hermione? She has no intention of breaking her face with each other.
"It's just... Alas, it's more complicated and confusing than the ancient scroll of unexplained magic text, which makes people completely confused."
Hermione, who was walking in the corridor, shook her head and sighed slightly.
The palace is still very deserted and empty. You usually can't touch others when you walk in it. Outside the city of London, there are areas where some cold ice has been cleared, and sporadic high-level corpses are beginning to walk around. It seems that some practical buildings are being cleaned out for subsequent use.
Walking to the corner stairs not far away, Hermione glanced at the upward stairs. From here, she could quickly go around the area where everyone lived temporarily. Just thinking about the time at this moment, she was embarrassed. After a little hesitation, she chose to turn around and walk to the front hall.
Out of the palace, she came to the empty square in front of the palace. She walked around the square alone.
Most of the sky here is still covered by frost covered ice. Only the huge hole on the side leads directly outside London, and you can see the gloomy and hazy sky from here.
This feeling is actually very wonderful. The white frost top and the dark clouds over there are almost connected at this time. It is difficult to distinguish each other without looking carefully. But looking around, in addition to this square, it was full of pale, as if it had been buckled under a large frost pot, which added a bit of depression.
Hermione certainly remembers that it is said that the huge hole was formed almost together with the huge icicle itself when the demon "anger" rushed to Buckingham Palace not long ago to have a brief confrontation with the "Lord of the living corpse". As long as you can fly, you can get in and out of today's frozen city directly from this square.
Hermione didn't try, because it led to the north of the city, and she usually only went in and out through the south gate.
"Granger... Miss?"
Suddenly, Hermione, who was walking around the square more than half a circle, heard someone calling herself in the distance behind her, so she put down the messy thoughts in her mind and looked back a little.
And soon she saw that there was a figure at the exit of the ice channel opposite the square. When she looked at it, she leaned slightly and continued to come here.
That's the sister of Gemini. Unlike her brother, the corpse girl's expression and attitude are much softer. Even sometimes, Hermione can feel a special maternal brilliance from each other.
Perhaps because of this, and the other party's English is obviously better than other high-level corpses, Hermione is actually quite willing to talk to her.
It's a pity that the other party seems to have a lot of things to do all the time - for example, the cleaning up of the city mentioned earlier is led by her family.
"Hello!"
Hermione always didn't know how to call each other, because the brothers and sisters shared the same name, and their name - "phagocytosis" was strange to humans. It's definitely not a good name to call.
"Hello," the other party approached, bowed politely again, and then said again, "I'm sorry, we haven't been able to give a considerate reception since you checked in, which seems to be a relatively impolite thing among humans. It's just... Maybe you know, Miss Granger - I heard that you often go to the residential area in the south these two days. You should also see that we are trying to find a way to stabilize our family here."
"Oh, yes, I've seen a lot these days." Hermione nodded immediately. "And... What should I say? I seem to have made some friends among you."
"Friends?"
The corpse girl smelled the speech and showed a subtle smile after a little hesitation. In addition, she was a corpse after all. Even though she was closer to ordinary human beings than other similar species, her dark and mottled skin made the gentle smile more or less gloomy.
"I have read this word in the books given by my master and read some stories about it, but to be honest, I still can't understand its true meaning... Oh, of course, I think it should be a good thing - thank you for making 'friends' with my people."
Strange relationships and strange emotions are obstacles to normal communication. However, there is no way. It will take more time to communicate and understand with the corpses at a deeper level.
Fortunately, at present, it seems that at least both sides will not exclude mutual contact - at least most high-level corpses are guided by the "master".
"Oh, yes," Hermione said suddenly as if she remembered something. "Speaking of 'making friends', can I invite some' friends' of your family to dinner in the hall today? Of course, it would be better if you could come too!"
However, after hearing this, the other party pursed his lips in some embarrassment.
"... go to the restaurant in the hall?" the girl thought carefully and finally nodded slowly. "Well, if Miss Granger invited me, I understand - please tell me the candidate and I'll take them to the appointment."
In fact, although Hermione was indeed on a whim, she also made the invitation on purpose. Including the hesitation of the other party, she can probably guess the reason.
Because she had already found that the living corpses would hardly take the initiative to step into the old Buckingham Palace unless something happened.
"Sorry to embarrass you..."
With a slight apology, Hermione didn't ask any more questions, but told each other several candidates in her heart one by one, and made an appointment to wait for each other's arrival at dinner time.
Speaking of, this should be the first time for humans to share a meal with a living corpse?
