Harry Potter’s Book of Sin
Chapter 2160
Hermione woke up early today.
No way, I can't get up early, because Safina and Mr. Blois who went out for inspections have been discovering recently that the living corpse a little farther east has begun to change again.
The density is on the rise, the activity is also increasing, and these phenomena are clearly showing a tendency to spread over here.Even if it is only an optimistic estimate, this will at least be a precursor to a large number of living corpses migrating here; and to say the worst possibility, it cannot be ruled out that there will be demons driving a tide of living corpses.
Because of this, both Safina and Blois have not returned to rest in the evening as usual in the past two days-they have extended the inspection route again, and they did not stop even at night, just for once there is a large-scale work. The tide of corpses is coming, they can detect it in advance.
Although, the current stronghold built around the Burrow has now been built like an iron wall with the unremitting efforts of everyone.Even if there is a tide of living corpses, everyone believes that it can be resisted here.
However, regardless of the high-level living corpses, at least if there are demons coming... whether this heavy protection can resist, it is still unknown.
"Hermione, Longfellow of the East Tower asked me some time to ask, do I need to add more magic traps to the gravity trap on the east? At present, the main thing we guard against is the east, no matter how much Be careful, you can't go wrong..."
When Hermione was looking at the map in the living room downstairs just before breakfast, Neville had already gone to the east tower and returned.It seems that he got up earlier than Hermione today.
After hearing Neville say this, Hermione shook her head and said clearly after thinking about it:
"There is some truth, but it still doesn't work. At present, the magic traps that can really form enough effects must be designed and made by Hannah and I based on regular runes. Otherwise, Sarah will have to use alchemy. It's good. And when the traps set outside really need to be activated, they can't be maintained well at all, and they can only be reduced to consumables...that's too wasteful."
Neville nodded when he heard the words, but couldn't help saying:
"However, there is no way to deploy more magic spells on the tower, and just arranging protection on the line of defense inside the alchemy barrier is not very effective—"
Neville actually wanted to say more about the defense measures of the stronghold, but Hermione waved her hand suddenly, preventing him from continuing.
"I know what you said, and I also understand everyone's eagerness and worries about the security of the stronghold after experiencing the attack of the giant demon... But, as you said, we actually can't make any more arrangements. More protection." She earnestly said, "This is the fact-at least with our current ability, it is already the limit to be able to do this."
Yes, Hermione was right.
In fact, to be honest, almost none of the people who can come here voluntarily are afraid of death, but they are all afraid of dying with nothing, no results, and no struggle.
Nowadays, this stronghold is very important, whether it is practical or symbolic, it is equally huge.
But because the enemy is too powerful, everyone can only continuously arm this stronghold in the way they can, so that they can gain a little peace of mind in the non-stop action.
However, what can be done is always limited.When the big guy finds that he has armed the entire stronghold to his teeth, but still does not have absolute confidence in the crisis or the future attack, every drop of sweat during this period of time has turned into a share. The pressure of this part is pressing on everyone's heart.
Of course, Neville also has this kind of pressure in his heart... Or, in fact, everyone in this stronghold is almost the same.
But at this moment, she saw Hermione suddenly retracted her gaze from the map, and then suddenly raised her head.
"So, in fact, the'bad news' brought back by Miss Geoffrey and Mr. Blois before may be a good thing for us!"
"Bad news?" Neville was stunned when he heard it, but he quickly reacted, "You mean, the group of living corpses in the east has changed?"
"Yes!" Hermione explained, "because we have done everything we can do, then we are waiting for a chance to verify the results-everyone is holding a breath for a long time, it must be There will be anxiety, and morale may even decline."
"You know so much!"
Neville pondered for a while, and felt that it seemed to make sense, because the situation Hermione said was actually happening in the stronghold.
But after Neville's praise, Hermione was not so happy, she just shook her head slightly:
"I'm just trying a little bit as written in the book! I told you to 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 at her, turned and walked towards the door.
"Anyway, I understand what you mean-I will go to the East Tower again, so that Longfellow and the others don't have to think about the useless ones."
And behind him, Hermione, who was still sitting at the table, just watched his leaving back for a while, and then returned to the map in front of him.
Needless to say, Neville's words just now reminded Hermione of some memories.
To be honest, life at Hogwarts was not always pleasant, and even because of Voldemort's constant tossing at the time, it left everyone with many bad memories.
But now that I think about it, no matter how bad the experience was at that time, it has gradually become a luxury and beauty in today's much more terrifying day.
That's right, it's so beautiful that people don't want to think about it, because it will make everyone feel more sad when they have to return to reality.
A moment later, Hannah came over again with today's breakfast as before.However, the one who followed her into the living room was Mr. Blois who should have been patrolling the east now.
"...Miss Granger, the group of living corpses is moving here at an accelerated rate, and... to me and Geoffrey, they seem to be organized."
Upon hearing Blois's words, Hermione immediately put down the breakfast she hadn't started, and stood up.
"In other words... maybe things are more serious than we initially expected?"
