"This is an important task entrusted to me by my father, so I have to complete it no matter what."

While Delphi was thinking this, he left the central square and hurried to the observation room on the ground floor of the new St. Mungo's Building in the town.

And when she got there, she saw Ron standing alone in the corridor, shaking the wand in his hand in a daze.

"Mr. Weasley."

"Um?"

Hearing someone calling his name on the other side of the stairs, Ron couldn't help but come back to his senses and turned to look over.

"Hey, you...why are you here?"

"Mr. McLean asked me to come here," Delphi said as he walked quickly towards Ron. "The enemy's vanguard has arrived and was just wiped out by Mr. McLean. However, there are more

A lot of zombies are about to attack. To be honest, no one knows whether two layers of magic shield can withstand the attack of the zombie army."

As she was speaking, she suddenly paused for a moment, and then changed her subject:

"I heard that Miss Granger was injured, right? Mr. MacLean thought about it and suggested that you take Miss Granger to a safer place, because the enemy may attack the town at any time."

Seeing what Delphi said, Ron couldn't help but look back at the new ward specially arranged for Hermione next to the two observation rooms.

"This...Did Maka ask me to take Hermione to some 'safer place'?"

"It's your previous residence," Delphi said. "Mr. McLean set up some protective magic there, and it's also closer to the center of the town."

"Then... what about here?" Ron looked at the doors of the two observation rooms again, "Then the two survivors also need to be relocated?"

"No, they won't be needed," Delphi shook her head, "I will stay on your behalf. They still have the 'curse' of the mist on them and are not suitable to live with other people."

At this point, seeing that Ron wanted to ask something more, she suddenly waved her hand and said:

"Let's go! Anyway, take me to see Miss Granger first. I was also very worried after hearing the news that she was seriously injured!"

Seeing this, Ron could only put away the questions in his mind for the time being, and turned around and opened the door to Hermione's ward.

"Delphi?"

Although Hermione does need to rest now, how can she sleep in such a situation where "the enemy is approaching"?

"Miss Granger."

As soon as Delphi entered the room, she saw that although Hermione was leaning weakly on the pillow, her slightly tired eyes were still shining with sparkle.

Obviously, this is Hermione Granger, a Gryffindor who becomes more and more courageous with every setback.

"Hermione, why are you sitting up? Maka said you need more rest..." Upon seeing this, Ron quickly ran over to ask her to lie down first before talking about anything else, but Hermione raised her arm slightly.

Blocked his hand.

"It's okay, sitting is more comfortable than lying down."

Naturally, even Harry couldn't be fooled by this kind of nonsense, let alone Ron, who has made great progress now. However, if Hermione insists on saying this, then even if Ron knows that she is trying to show off, he will only

I can just let it be.

Looking at such a strong Hermione, Delphi couldn't help but sigh softly and said: "I think... I have to say 'sorry' to you. After all, I should go to Faversham Town with you.

"

That's right, whether it was the collapse of the front line after Maka left, or Hermione going to the rear of the battlefield to speed up the evacuation of the people in order to remedy the situation, as the strongest person after Maka, Delphi was at least capable of preventing dangerous situations.

occurring.

However, Delphi always stayed in Spiral Town and never went out once.

Although if she did this, no one could blame her. But now, thinking about how everyone has been so good to her for so long, her silence in the face of the disaster is really inappropriate.

"No, Delphi, you don't have to worry about this at all!" Hermione whispered weakly, "There are so many refugees in this town, it can be said to be the last line of defense for the entire British wizarding community... In comparison,

In other words, my personal life is of no importance at all. During the time when Maka is away, your staying behind can at least give us the minimum peace of mind."

"Miss Granger"

Delphi couldn't help but pause when she heard the words. After pursed her lips, she had no choice but to nod slightly.

The apology was just her personal thoughts and actions, and was not part of the task assigned by Maka. Now that Hermione had not accepted her apology, she could only skip these private matters for the time being.

Because, I'm afraid it's not far away from the time when the large army of living zombies arrives in Spiral Town.

"Well, Miss Granger, maybe what you said is right!" Delphi said somewhat against her will, "Spiral Town is the last line of defense, and we must hold it firmly. After all... we have nowhere to retreat.

If we lose, the whole of Britain...and even the whole of Europe will probably be invaded and wreaked by Haierbo immediately, and by then it will really be out of control!"

"That's it," Hermione also nodded slightly. "Those living corpses are so terrifying... not only will they gradually grow on their own, but they will also assimilate the corpses into their partners through the mist. Once they are allowed to develop for a period of time, the consequences will be simply unbearable.

Imagine. Therefore, we must do our best to eliminate them here before their number increases to the point that no one can contain it."

After the two chatted for a few words, Delphi put down the topic of dealing with living corpses for the time being and said instead:

"By the way, Miss Granger, it seems I haven't explained my purpose yet? In fact, I came here on behalf of Mr. Maclean to convey a suggestion. Mr. Maclean said that he wanted Mr. Weasley to take you back to the temporary home.

He is resting and recuperating in his residence, and he has set up tighter protection there. As for the care tasks in the observation room, just leave it to me."

"oh?"

When Hermione heard what she said, she couldn't help but subconsciously look up at the opposite wall. Because, next door was one of the observation rooms.

She suddenly had to change places, and she was naturally as confused as Ron. It was Maka who brought her here, and it didn't take long, so why did it have to be changed again?

However, Hermione did not ask as many questions as Ron did, because she seemed to quickly think of some previous unsolved mysteries about the two survivor ladies.

At that time, she tried to ask Maka, but the other party avoided the question without leaving a trace. Now, it seems that the answer is finally coming to Delphi?

"Well, okay, I understand... Indeed, this place is not suitable for resting for injured people like me who are currently unable to resist. We will go there as soon as possible."

Hermione nodded and said this.
