"Is there anything wrong over there?"

As soon as Harry and the others returned to the eastern defense line, Ron immediately asked.

"Nothing?" Harry shrugged, "The sound you heard is probably the sound of those alchemy dolls fighting! If there is anything abnormal, it seems that their fighting enthusiasm is much stronger——

Luna said it might be because Miss Hohenheim has finished setting up the protective alchemy array and has her hands free."

"Is that so?"

Ron scratched his head and thought about it for a moment. After looking at each other with Hannah and Neville next to him, he could only nod his head and said:

"Maybe...after all, I only heard some noises from a distance, and these black flame wizards didn't have any special reaction."

After saying this, he turned around and said:

"That's right! Since Miss Hohenheim may have already arranged the protective formation, I'll go back and confirm it first! With you here watching, it doesn't seem to matter if I have one more and one less."

Before he finished speaking, Ron quickly withdrew from the defense line, took out his broomstick, straddled it, and suddenly flew into the air.

"Don't fly too high, be careful of attracting flying ones." Seeing this, Harry couldn't help but remind him, "Mr. Blois and Miss Geoffrey are not here, so it will be troublesome for us to deal with them!"

"learn--"

Ron waved his hand behind him, then lowered his height even lower and accelerated toward the Burrow.

Seeing him fly away, Harry withdrew his gaze and turned to look in the direction outside the defense line.

In fact, since the attack method of those black flame wizards is basically to control the soul flame, the view here is somewhat blocked. But there is no way, because the number of living corpses is still gradually increasing in the past two days, here to the east

It has become an area that requires close monitoring.

What's more, Safina and Mr. Blois also set off from this direction in the morning. Fortunately, there is no fog blocking the sight now. It is obviously necessary to use your own eyes to pay attention to the changes in the distance.

"If this continues, the group of living corpses may become denser again in a few days, right?" Ginny was also watching from afar, unable to help but worry a little.

But... of course, what she is worried about now is definitely not the number of living corpses. Even the individuals with different levels of evolution in front of her will not become too big under the strength of Safina and Mr. Blois.

The problem.

The key is that the growth and activity of the number of living corpses in a certain area often means that the so-called "demon"... may appear again.

And this is the most important reason why Safina and Blois will extend their exploration route again in the past two days.

"Well... I'm afraid they won't come back at noon today." Harry said as he looked at the movements of the zombies in the distance and thought to himself.

…

Speaking of which, Hermione's group of companions who recently settled here at the Burrow actually have a very different perception of time.

People who are responsible for going out to fight often feel that every day passes very quickly. Fighting hard on the battlefield all day long requires constant concentration, and usually you don’t feel the passage of time at all. You don’t have to wait until you return to your home at night.

After having a simple dinner in a hurry, summarizing the results of the battle and exchanging observed information, they naturally fell asleep.

But people like Hermione who are responsible for staying behind, or who have their turn to watch at night, will feel that every minute and every second becomes extremely clear. While they clearly realize that they are in danger at all times, they are also inevitably in danger.

I will worry about all kinds of people and things in the silence with a sense of urgency.

I even often feel deeply guilty for my own powerlessness.

Obviously, although it is definitely not easy for our partners who are fighting outside, Hermione and others who stay here at the Burrow are actually having a very difficult time every day.

Another half-day has passed, and the sky outside is still hazy. However, the brilliance of the day has gradually faded, and the drowsiness that represents the night is coming from the east again.

At noon, in order to confirm whether Sarah had really come down from the attic as Luna guessed, Ron came back and had lunch here - people who usually go out usually have an early lunch at noon.

Before going out, I just brought dry food and settled it outside.

And now, he, who went out in the afternoon to continue fighting at the defense line, has returned with everyone.

However, the problem is that Safina and Blois have not returned yet, which is really worrying.

"The two of them have been returning on time in the past few days. Even if the route is lengthened today, it must be a bit strange that they haven't returned yet." Harry said with a slight frown.

"Yeah." Hermione also nodded.

Although food was already placed on the table, no one took it to eat, even though they were actually very hungry.

After a short pause, she continued:

"However, it should be fine. We all know the strength of Miss Geofine and Mr. Blois, don't we?"

"Indeed," Sarah said as she sat sideways on the sofa, looking at the scenery outside the window not far away, "Moreover, the two people took different routes and returned home late at the same time while they were separated.

Not much. So, I think they probably got together on the way for some reason."

At this point, Sarah turned her head again, looked at everyone and said:

"And the combat power that the two of them can achieve when they are together, I am afraid that even if they meet Haierbo himself, at least one of them can come back."

"Herbo himself?"

Because this possibility is not impossible, or in fact, this possibility has always existed. Although it seems that the guy has completely disappeared recently, if he suddenly appeared in front of everyone, it seems that it is not at all

An incredible thing.

"Oh, don't worry, I'm just using him as an example." Sarah waved her hand.

And at this moment, she saw her expression suddenly change slightly.

"coming!"

As soon as the words were finished, everyone was stunned, and then they all subconsciously stood up and looked out the window. Sure enough, two figures were approaching quickly in the increasingly dense night outside. Unexpectedly,

After a while, they landed on the open space outside the door one after another.

"Squeak——"

Soon the door was pushed open, and Hermione and others who had not had time to walk over couldn't help but pause. Then they saw Safina walking in first and immediately said:

"The fight started!"

"Wha, what? What's a 'fight'?" Everyone asked in confusion.
