Buckingham Palace late at night is actually like most other large buildings. Apart from "empty" and "dark", there are no more words to describe it.

It should be said that during the period when it was previously occupied by Haierbo, there were some dark magical creatures such as dementors wandering in the dark inside this building, and various living corpses were not yet prohibited from entering the palace privately.

.At that time, maybe there can be another "terrible" to describe it.

But now, since the Lord of the Living Corpses came to stay, the high-level zombies who were grateful, worshipful and even fanatical about him took the initiative to give up the entire palace out of respect from the bottom of their hearts.

Coupled with the recent "London Icicle Incident", not to mention Buckingham Palace, it is rare to see "living animals" in the entire city of London.

And if it's like this during the day, it's naturally even more silent at night. Only occasionally, a little light will shine through the windows of the palace behind the main hall, silently indicating to the outside that there are still people living in this palace - oh, specifically.

"Whether they are human beings" may still have to be debated.

Tonight, hazy light once again came out of the row of windows that were almost covered by curtains. Even in the thick darkness of the night, it seemed a little indescribably dim.

But it is night after all, and if someone passes by outside, it will be difficult to ignore them.

The thin curtains reflected a tall figure sitting on a high-backed chair.

…

"Ma'am... yes, the plan is going quite smoothly... As I said that day, they are a group of kind and innocent young men and women. Especially their leader Hermione Granger.

To describe it as 'fraternity' - the birth of intelligent zombies will be a difficult problem that challenges the concept of life for this group of children with excessive sympathy."

"Well, I have already arranged it step by step. Next, those living corpses will further demonstrate their humanity and value, which will inevitably cause those 'cute' children to fall into more clear contradictions and chaos...

I think that will definitely prompt them to make up their mind as soon as possible."

"That's right, my respected Ms. Kern! If this continues, it won't be long before your long-cherished wish will naturally come true! The new era that you personally designed and that we all long for will have its greatest success in this era.

Complete and perfect realization——"

A familiar and familiar deep voice came faintly from the window. The content sounded very exciting, but the tone was still as calm and indifferent as I remembered.

After a few words that were almost like an oath, the figure seemed to have finally stopped talking to himself.

However, just when the silence of the night came again, making people think that tonight's one-sided "dialogue" had really come to an end, that voice suddenly came out again.

"...Madam, is there anything else? Hmm? That magic tree outside the jungle? Oh, you should be talking about the 'Whomping Willow', right? Yes, there is a large group of Flobber caterpillars who have formed cocoons on it, but

They all broke out of their cocoons and flew away... is there still one cocoon left?"

"Oh... of course, just let it hang! Since there is still the breath of life, it will break out of the cocoon sooner or later... Yes, just like the world you love so much, even if it is worse than expected,

It will be much later, but it will eventually break out of its cocoon and become a butterfly!"

"...If you are a little bored living in Hogwarts, you might as well take some time to visit it every day. As for other things, leave it to me... Oh, and Helbo - just leave it to us!"

As the words faded, the dim light in the palace slowly extinguished, and this time the voice seemed to finally stop going on.

Not long after, a figure flew away silently from the trees outside a certain window. This figure had no life breath or magic power, as if it was just a non-existent shadow, and it was almost impossible to attract the attention of others.

But before the light in the window completely disappeared, the head of the figure reflected in the curtain seemed to turn.

…

A few minutes later, Safina, Sarah and Hannah were in the room.

Because there were no lights on, the room looked dark. Just because the clouds over London were directly "pierced" by the huge icicles that penetrated the sky. Although the moon was still elsewhere, there was still moonlight mixed with starlight.

Passing through the crystal icicles, I was transported to the frozen city of London.

Most of the ice outside the window is filled with a slight amount of moonlight and stardust, which prevents the world in the city from falling into complete darkness at night.

In fact, the city of London today may look even more beautiful at night than in the past.

It's a pity that there are obviously not many people who are in the mood to appreciate this beauty.

"Hohenheim, your 'Alchemy Ghost' hasn't come back yet? Is it... that it can't come back?"

Sarah and Safina were sitting on both sides of the small round table by the window. It was Safina who was speaking at the moment. Sarah was just sitting opposite her, her eyes slightly closed and she didn't know what she was doing.

He seems to be very focused.

"Hohenheim? Sarah? Haven't you seen him yet?"

While Safina was restless and kept urging and asking questions, Sarah seemed not to be affected at all. But the next second after Safina said the last sentence, she finally opened her eyes.

He rolled his eyes towards Safina opposite.

"Why are you urging me? Aren't you afraid that I have nothing to do, but if you urge me like this, it will cause problems for me?" Even though she was as calm as Sarah, she seemed to be helpless because of Safina's annoyance, so she said this casually.

When Safina heard this, she immediately curled her lips.

"You said it yourself, no matter what I do, it will be fine."

"Okay, okay!" Sarah waved her hand, then pointed behind Safina and said, "Didn't you ask if my ghost has come back? Well, it has come back a long time ago... I was just thinking in my heart

I’m just sorting out the information I overheard from the dormitory.”

"Eavesdropping? You didn't go to see him directly?" Safina frowned when she heard this, "This is not the plan we agreed on before!"

"Because the situation has changed." Sarah waved her hand and leaned heavily on the back of the chair. "If you had heard that conversation, you would have immediately decided to go back first - I must say

, this thing is unusual, and very unusual!”

"how?"

"That should really be McClain." Sarah said very seriously, "However, the fact that he is no longer on Granger's side... is probably also true!"

"We probably can't take any chances anymore."
