"First of all, the first thing... Sarah, if I say that I want to try to establish contact with Bill through alchemy, do you have any more feasible way?"

Regarding this issue, what Hermione wanted to ask Sarah about was something she had already mentioned when discussing it with Neville and the others.

In view of the fundamental difference between alchemy and conventional magic, if we only use the former to try to establish long-distance communication, we might be able to establish a secret communication that cannot be discovered by living corpses, demons and Haierbo.

Way.

Yes, at least that's what Hermione seemed to think.

However, after Sarah heard her thoughts and expectations, she quickly shook her head.

"It shouldn't be a big problem to make an alchemy tool that can maintain long-distance communication and even communicate with each other. But if you want to hide it from Haierbo, then I can't guarantee it...Hermione, I miss you.

Maybe there are still some misunderstandings about things like 'alchemy'."

Hermione couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this.

"Uh, what misunderstanding?"

"That is to say," Sarah gestured with her hands and said, "alchemy and conventional magic, although there is indeed a huge difference in the system between the two, even the study of the 'method of utilizing magic' that is close to the essence is completely different.

Different. But in the final analysis, they actually reach the same goal by different routes - for example, 'rules', in alchemy, their name is 'material soul'."

"'Material...soul'?" Hermione repeated the phrase, and it could be seen that her expression was full of doubts at this time.

"That's right!" Sarah nodded, "Of course, the 'soul' in alchemy is not the same thing as the 'soul' in conventional magic. In ancient times, some alchemists also called it 'spiritual energy'.

In fact, you can roughly understand this name as...'form of matter'."

Having said this, she simply waved her hands and said:

"In short, I hope you can understand that after reaching a certain level, the difference between alchemy and conjuration magic is far less big than it was at the beginning. Remember what I mentioned before? Mr. McLean used his

The gains from studying the rules of the soul have helped me solve the huge hidden dangers in my body. And you already know... I am a complete product of alchemy."

"Therefore," Sarah said with a last show of her hands, "not to mention the devil, at least Haierbo is undoubtedly a powerful wizard with extremely in-depth research on magic. If I use alchemy to establish a stable long-distance

The communication channel, such a big move, may not be long before Haierbo discovers it. And once it is intercepted by him... you should know better than me how much danger such intelligence leakage will bring to us."

After saying this, Hermione couldn't help but fell into deep thought for a while.

But in fact, as long as we understand the root cause of this long-distance communication problem, it is very clear. The most fundamental problem lies in the gap in strength.

Whether it is conventional magic or alchemy, the reason why Hermione always feels constrained is because Herbo is still too powerful for them.

Even though everyone has grown a lot now, at most they have just stepped into the threshold of regular magic.

Even if Harry and Safina could barely use the branch runes of the soul rules to fight, in front of Haierbo, I'm afraid they would just be like clumsy children trying to slash with heavy swords, without being hurt.

It's already pretty good by itself!

Not to mention more detailed research applications like "Magic Communication", if you do it forcefully, you may end up harming yourself.

After thinking about this, Hermione could only nod her head in frustration.

"I understand... So now it seems that one-time information transmission through the Patronus Charm may really be the safest and most effective communication method we can currently achieve."

"That's right!" Sarah also nodded slightly and said, "It is said that this method of application was invented by Professor Dumbledore? Well, it's really admirable."

"Who says it's not?"

Hermione sighed. To be honest, she missed the great old principal again. But not long after, she saw her wave her hand again and said:

"Forget it, just pretend I haven't asked this question! Actually, I have another question that I need you to help me think about."

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

"There's something I have to tell you first. In fact, just now, Delphi has left - she said she plans to go to London."

"Yeah?"

Sarah didn't seem too surprised when she heard the news. After thinking about it, she slightly raised her eyebrows and asked:

"Mr. Maclean went to London? Is this news accurate?"

"Well...I can only say, I don't know."

Hermione was actually a little surprised to see Sarah acting relatively calmly, but she didn't dwell too much on it. After all, the point of this question was not Sarah's reaction.

"Before Delphi left, I had a few chats with her. And she seemed to think that it was probably the appearance of Maka that led the three demons to London one after another... or it was even more likely.

Oh, is there another fight between Maka and Haierbo in London?"

"It is true that this possibility cannot be denied." Sarah blinked and said.

"Yes!" Hermione said, "But wouldn't it be more likely to be Herbo than the situation where Maca appeared in London? Delphi is undoubtedly a very smart witch. I don't think so.

I think she won’t be able to figure it out. Therefore, if I have to give a reason for her strange persistence, it might be that...she is unwilling to let go of any possibility of finding Maka."

After the words fell, Hermione and Sarah temporarily stopped talking, both of them seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, the latter finally spoke again.

"Perhaps, there is another reason." Sarah said softly, "I think she may have found other clues about Mr. MacLean in London. It's just that for some unknown reason, she didn't want to tell you."

As soon as Sarah finished speaking, Hermione was suddenly stunned, and a picture flashed in her mind - she remembered that when she was talking to Delphi, the other party did seem to have a short time, but

But there was a somewhat strange pause.

After that, Delphi directly stopped discussing whether Maca would be in London.
