"Oh, Sirius, are you back?"

When Lupine saw Sirius returning safely, the two long-time good buddies immediately came forward and hugged each other, patting each other on the shoulders and back to express their joy at being able to meet again alive.

But after expressing his happiness at the initial meeting, Lupine couldn't help but start nagging at Sirius.

"Look at you, I'm used to being so reckless all the time, so even if I know you're looking for death, I don't bother to care about you. But, do you know how worried you make Harry, Hermione and those little guys? They

You're smart, even if we want to hide it for you, it's not easy. If you come back any later, I guess they've all gone to London to look for you!"

"It's just you." Sirius heard this, but just waved his hand indifferently, "Although time is a bit tight, didn't I still catch up? I just caught them before they ran into the exit passage.

Already."

"At the entrance of the passage?" Lu Ping heard this and said loudly, "Isn't this dangerous enough?"

"Okay, okay, what can a grown man talk about?" Sirius reached out and patted Lupin's arm, curling his lips and said, "I don't know how Tonks fell in love with you... Oh, by the way.

! Calculating seniority, Tonks is my niece! After you get married, remember to call me cousin after her!"

Hearing Sirius's sudden change of words, he instantly became a generation shorter, and Lupine almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

"Don't you hate your last name at this time?" He, who was always known for his calmness, couldn't help but said sarcastically, "Don't forget, you have been kicked out of the Black family long ago!"

Looking at this pair of living treasures of the older generation who hurt each other and showed no mercy, Maka could only smile and shook her head. Compared with the two of them, Fred and George were probably better off.

"Okay, you can leave the issues about seniority and family background to be discussed later! Two uncles, can we talk about business now?"

Maka's slightly teasing tone did not have much impact on the two old live treasures who were as thick-skinned as the city walls. However, after exchanging words to relieve the previous mutual worries and pressure, the atmosphere at the scene changed.

Apparently it has become a lot easier.

At this moment, Maka thought for a while and then said:

"First of all, let's put the most important thing at the front for everyone in the town. Well, that is, when Sirius went deep into London to rescue survivors, he observed a rather key thing.

sexual situation.”

You can see that his expression quickly became serious.

"Sirius told me just now," Maka said, "The reason why there were fewer living corpses moving around the edge of the fog before is that they are moving to a certain location in the city center purposefully and concentrating as expected.

.”

After a pause, Maka frowned slightly.

"However, what he observed is more than that." He nodded towards Sirius, and then continued to Lupine, "During the evacuation, he noticed that the living corpses had made new movements and were moving towards

The foggy borders of London's south-eastern suburbs slowly move."

Having said this, Maka spread her hands and then added:

"By the way, I also learned about the same situation through the information fed back by the patron saint... In other words, Sirius's observations and speculations are accurate."

"Then...is your patron saint still collecting intelligence in London?"

Lupine listened and couldn't help but ask, but saw Maka quickly shake her head.

"Before Sirius left London, the connection between the Patronus and me had been interrupted, and before it was completely interrupted, it was fighting Herbo."

"hiss"

Lu Ping gritted his teeth lightly, took a breath, and then said as if talking to himself:

"Did Herbo choose the southeast of London because he knew that Spiral Town was in this direction? Or is it just a coincidence?"

When Maka heard him muttering like this, she immediately shrugged.

"It's best not to take chances," he said, suddenly pointing to the sand table in front of him, "Because in the end, the enemy is still Haierbo, so even if the entire Spiral Town is underground, we don't know what he will let him do.

From which direction did those half-dead subordinates come in... Therefore, the defense against living corpses must be comprehensive."

"As for the defensive strength," Maka drew a vague circle around the town, "I spent one night strengthening the magic shield I discovered before, and after that, I also made my

Those little elves are guarding each direction of the town in batches."

"Coupled with Harry, Neville, and Delphi, there won't be any problems even if hundreds of the most ferocious fire dragons and more than ten giants attack in groups."

When he said this, Maka still maintained enough confidence. But then, Lupine and Sirius heard him remind:

"However, if we see Haierbo appearing nearby, whether he is attacking aggressively or just staying on the outside and doing nothing, we must evacuate from the secret passage immediately... and..."

As Maka spoke, she sighed softly, and then said meaningfully:

"To evacuate as selectively as possible... you know what I mean?"

"Really," Lu Ping asked hesitantly, "is it so serious?"

"real."

This time, it was not Maka who answered him, but Sirius, whose expression also became extremely serious.

"Actually, I want all the refugees in the town to evacuate to other places even now!" He frowned, "But, to be honest, I don't know where is safe anymore."

"That's it," Maka nodded. "As far as I know so far, Haierbo shouldn't be able to leave the scope shrouded in fog, but he obviously can't be like that forever... and once it's time for him to leave London,

, not only the British wizarding world, but the entire world may fall into an unprecedented disaster!"

"But in this case..." Sirius looked at Maka and said, "Listening to the feeling you just explained about the defensive strength, do you still want to find time to go somewhere?"

Seeing that Sirius sharply pointed out the truth revealed in his words, Maka could only nod her head again.

Then, he suddenly raised his right hand and pointed to the top of his head, and then said directly:

"As you all know, there is a big thing in the sky that is about to fall down towards Hogwarts Castle. In fact, I have always felt that the way to deal with Haierbo may be hidden in the school... because,

The person who successfully sealed Helbo underground was Salazar Slytherin."
