"Charlie is back...oh! Is that Neville's patronus?"

As soon as Luna poked her head out from the messy ruins of the house, she happened to see the huge figure of the fire dragon Norbert flying quickly from the sky. And not far behind her, the fire dragon Norbert was chasing closely.

, in addition to a group of flying zombies in the distance, there is actually a silver-white figure, which is particularly eye-catching under the gloomy clouds.

After a short pause, Luna immediately retracted her head from the broken window, turned around, waved her hand at Ida and old Ajinbad and said:

"Let's go! We don't have to let Silly Bo continue to clear the road for the time being...Looking at the direction Norberta left, she and Charlie should have gone back to Weymouth."

"Ah? Oh."

Seeing that Luna was about to walk out after speaking, Ida was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly chased after her. Beside her, old Ajinbad also immediately stepped to follow.

"Miss Lovegood," Akinbad suddenly asked as he ran, "I thought you mentioned the 'Patron Saint' just now?"

"Yes!" Luna said without looking back, "It's Neville's lion guardian angel - it looks so majestic! You can recognize it at a glance."

"Well, that's indeed rare."

When old Ajinbad heard this, he subconsciously said this.

However, when he followed Luna and Ida and ran out of the ruins of the house, and looked at the sky in the direction of Weymouth as Luna said just now... he was immediately attracted by

The silver figure in the distance that looked to be half the size of a fire dragon was startling.

Ajinbad was not completely ignorant of the fact that Neville was able to summon a male patron saint. After all, he was also the former president of the Federation, so he still had this information at hand.

But it seems...the information in the Federation Intelligence Office seems to be somewhat out of date.

"That...is Mr. Neville Longbottom's patronus?"

"Yes! You can't go wrong."

Luna was definitely aware of Akinbad's emotional changes, but she obviously didn't care much about the surprise in the other person's heart. While responding like that, she took the lead in running back in her right hand.

He had already grasped the wand and pointed forward.

"Chi——"

In an instant, several red magic arcs of light burst out from the tip of the staff, knocking away several speed zombies in front of them.

At the same time, Shabo, who had returned, also emerged from her shadow, and two black sharp blades quickly slashed through the bodies of several living corpses on both sides of Luna.

"Sibo, don't help me, I can handle it myself - go back and protect Ida and Mr. Akinbad!"

As she spoke, the wand in Luna's hand immediately moved again.

It can be seen that she has used the skills of silent spells quite skillfully, and as her understanding of the rules gradually deepens, the power of some spells has also been fully utilized in her hands.

Although modern magic spells alone cannot cause much damage to evolved living zombies, the speed and frequency of casting are barely enough to stop them.

However, nowadays, the number of evolved living zombies has indeed increased, making the group of living zombies increasingly difficult to deal with.

"Roar!"

As the noisy roars gradually came and went, Luna discovered that probably because Charlie and Norberta had just flown over with a group of flying zombies, the zombies on the ground in this area were also much more active. Seeing Luna and the three of them

appeared, they surrounded him without hesitation.

"careful--"

Suddenly, I heard a reminder from Ajinbad behind me.

But to be honest, Luna today is probably one of the least vulnerable to sneak attacks among all her friends. Although the rules of empathy she mastered are not lethal in the early stage, they are very effective in sensing living creatures.

It has unique advantages. Ajinbad’s kind reminder is actually completely redundant.

At that moment, Luna didn't even look back. She just waved the wand backhand from her shoulder and used a powerful stun spell to block the living corpse coming from behind.

And at the next moment, Shabo, who came back in time, used her black blade to cut it into two pieces.

Only then did Luna take a moment to turn her head and look at old Ajinbad and Ida and said:

"Thank you, Mr. Ajinbad, you should be careful yourself!"

…

In fact, since Luna had always been cautious at first, she actually didn't take the two of them too far just now. And obviously, even Luna herself didn't expect that it would happen so quickly as she expected.

Met Neville's lion patron saint.

Therefore, when they need to return to Weymouth at this moment, they naturally do not need to spend much time.

Soon, Luna took Ida and Akinbad back to the ruins of the Weymouth camp they had just left, and saw Noberta's rather eye-catching figure at a glance.

It can be seen that Charlie is under the protection of Norberta at this moment, listening to what the silver lion standing in front of him says in Neville's voice.

"Little Lovegood—" "Shh!"

Ida seemed to want to ask something else, but was immediately stopped by Luna.

"Don't talk...go over and listen to the patron saint's message first, and then we'll talk about other things." She warned gently, then she shut her mouth and ran quickly towards Charlie.

And almost at the same time, Shabo in the shadow also temporarily separated from her in a tacit agreement, and went to deal with Norberta, who were not many living corpses nearby.

"...There should be three demons coming east now. Hermione believes that their destination is probably London. And the movement of demons will almost certainly affect the movements of the living corpses. If you can receive

If I go on this summons, please remember not to come to England first...or at least don't go from Weymouth, where you may be in danger!"

When Luna came to Charlie, she happened to hear the Silver Lion talking about the whereabouts of the devil. This just confirmed some of her and Bill's guesses and worries.

There is no doubt that being more cautious is the right decision.

Just as Ajinbad behind her was thinking this, she heard the lion shake its big head and continue:

"In addition, the most important issue at the moment is actually the changes in London - Miss Hohenheim said that just recently, the living corpses around London seemed to suddenly have an organized action. The rest is not clear yet, but this

This time they suddenly and consciously expanded the scope of their 'territory', but this is certain."

"So," the Silver Lion finally said, "Hermione asked me to tell you, never approach the southeastern part of England at will again!"
