harry potter book of crimes

Another wave of zombies is coming. Their desire to attack may not be higher than the previous two times, but the number of zombies and the persistence of attacking nearby areas have been greatly improved.

So under Hermione's instructions, Weymouth Port entered a state of comprehensive defense, with ensuring the safety of the people in the camp as its top priority.

The gravity trap, supported by multiple wizards in turn, was activated again.

"There is news from the outpost that the density of the living corpses is not very high, but they continue to appear in the east, as if they are endless. Mr. Potter and the others have been fighting on the first front for several hours.

I think in order to defend against the incoming enemy for a longer period of time, it is best to let them come back and have a rest."

In the command post tent in the center of the camp, a messenger guard wizard was conveying the surrounding situation to Percy and Hermione. After hearing this, Percy immediately reached out to dip the tip of his quill in some ink, and then scribbled on the map.

I wrote a few strokes.

At the same time, Hermione answered:

"Indeed... Then let Bill call them back! If it were anyone else, they might not listen to those stubborn people."

"Is it Mr. Bill Weasley?" The other party nodded, "Okay, then I'll go."

"Wait a minute," Hermione said, looking at the map a few times, and then added, "After you notify Bill, help me go to the dock to have someone prepare a boat."

"Uh, okay, Miss Granger."

The wizard didn't ask why. After receiving the order, he quickly left the tent and went out to do things. On the other hand, Percy, who was waiting for the man to go out, couldn't help but ask:

"Hermione, are you planning to go east from the sea?"

"Well," Hermione pursed her lips, "walk from the Solent Strait and take a look at the situation of this wave of zombies along the coast - this time it is very large, and it is necessary to find out the pattern behind it early.

.Of course, as for whether I want to go there in person, I haven’t made a complete decision yet.”

After hearing this, Percy looked down at the map again and said:

"You still want to go find McClain?"

"No, I don't know," Hermione said, "Maybe! Maybe I'm still thinking subconsciously... But, as it stands now, someone has to do this investigation mission, right? And it's more complicated than in the past.

It's obviously much safer to walk from the shore than by sea."

"Yes! I know," Percy nodded, "You made the right decision - from the Solent Strait into Southampton Bay, you can very well detect the movements of the living corpses and this tide of living corpses along the way.

It may last for a long time. But the question is...will you enter the Itchen River from the bay after that?"

Percy's meaning is actually very clear - it can be clearly seen from the map that if you go all the way north along the Itchen River, you don't even need to get off the boat, you can reach Winchester by just taking the waterway. If it is a normal reconnaissance team,

It was time to return to the bay, but for Hermione, it was undoubtedly an "excellent" route to Winchester.

However, the area around Winchester is too dangerous. There are many evolved zombies nearby, and many of them can use magic. Even taking a boat there is still very risky.

"Hermione, I must be more 'realistic' here - in fact, Mr. Blois stayed in Winchester before, which to some extent is already a huge problem for us.

It's a loss. And if it were you, I think the 'loss' would be even greater."

What Percy said is indeed very "realistic". After all, Willy's father had only helped them out of friendship before. And now that he has not come back, it is also his freedom. This cannot be called a "loss"

”.

However, from a superficial perspective, this is indeed a huge loss in combat power for the Resistance Alliance.

"Well," Hermione could only nod her head when she saw Percy saying so frankly, "Yes, you are right... Okay, then I won't go. You can arrange for someone else to do this coastal reconnaissance operation."

Come on! As for me... I'm going to take a look around the defense line to see if there are any loopholes in the defense."

"Okay," Percy nodded slightly, stood up and walked to the door. Before going out, he couldn't help turning around and apologized, "Hermione, I'm sorry! What I just said was indeed a bit -"

"It doesn't matter," Hermione shook her head, "You did the right thing... I should stay here for everyone, instead of doing selfish things to satisfy my own selfishness. Nowadays, the more selfish people

People will be more likely to fail in their struggle in the future."

Watching Percy leave the tent, Hermione hesitated for a few seconds and suddenly couldn't help but sigh.

"Has Maka been immersed in this kind of contradiction for such a long time before? Then...did he leave because he was gradually overwhelmed?"

To be honest, Hermione didn't want to think about Maka like this, but in fact, reality made her inevitably think like this.

Because if this wasn't the case, then there would be the real reason why Maka never came back to them... To be honest, Hermione didn't dare to think about it.

Shaking her head vigorously, Hermione got rid of these thoughts from her mind. Hermione wiped the tip of the pen clean with paper, then put it aside, preparing to go out for a round of inspection.

…

All the living corpses in the ancient city of Winchester were wiped out, and not a single one was left.

This battle can be said to be a complete victory - this is undoubtedly a very good start for Safina, who has just been able to control her power.

After that, Maka took her to the backyard to talk for a while. Even Ursula was not able to follow this conversation. Only the two of them knew what they talked about.

But when everyone saw them coming back, they found that Safina's face was full of doubts. It seemed that Maka had said something very difficult to understand to her. Even if she listened, it took a while.

I didn’t fully understand it either.

"What did that guy McClain say to you?"

When her sister Ursula saw her return, she immediately pulled her towards the room and started asking questions hurriedly, as if she was afraid that Maka would deceive her sister with her words again.

In response, Maka just smiled casually and didn't pay attention.

"Maka, sit down... sit down and rest for a while!"

Apparently, Maka's coughing fit earlier made Willie worried. Although he had already returned to his usual appearance, and there was nothing wrong with him on the surface, Willie still couldn't feel relieved.

"Huh?" Maka shook her head, "I'm fine, there's no need for this."

Even so, he still sat down next to Willy.

"That's right! In a few days, I plan to go on a 'far trip'... Of course, don't worry, I will take you with me. If Mr. Blois is worried about Willy, he can also come with him."

He thought for a while and said this.
