"That kid...is dead?"

"I have no idea."

Looking at Snape's usually cold and indifferent dead face, there was a rare dull expression. At any other time, Lupine might have been secretly interested in it. But when it came to the matter he was talking about right now

Even though he was there, he couldn't laugh at all.

"You know," after a pause and giving the other party some more time to digest the news, Lu Ping continued, "What that guy does will always exceed our expectations, so... yes, even if I do

I have seen his body, but I don’t think he is really dead.”

Opposite him, Snape heard all Lupin's words, but he didn't say anything immediately.

It can be seen that this news had a great impact on Snape's heart. He is not the kind of person who can easily develop feelings for others. Except for Lily back then, he has never opened his heart to anyone else.

Even though he later met the sister he had never met before, it took him a long time to mentally struggle before he gradually adapted to and accepted such a woman who stepped into his personal life.

But Maca is different.

Even without the ties of blood, the unique and outstanding boy in the past few years seemed to have naturally gained his recognition step by step as he got along with teachers and students. In that boy, he seemed to

He saw the "ideal self" that he had sketched out in his mind, that is, the "Prince" he had written in the potions textbook.

He has never had children, and probably has no plans to have children in the future. However, if he really has a son, then maybe...maybe...maybe...it has to be as good as Maka McClain.

A wizard?

Perhaps even Snape himself had not really thought about this issue, but when he suddenly learned from Lupine that the child who was so talented that he couldn't help but secretly admire him might have died, the appreciation he had accumulated for a long time

All of a sudden it turned into a shock, which even made him, a master of Occlumency, feel dazed for a moment.

Fortunately, he was still Severus Snape after all, and his calmness that could not lose to anyone allowed him to quickly adjust his heart.

After a few breaths, Snape, who regained his cold expression, nodded slightly and said calmly:

"He spent a lot of time studying the science of the soul. Although I have read many books, I have never seen anyone who allowed his soul to leave the body and still lived well. But with that kid's ability, other people

What he can't do may not be impossible for him to do."

"Yes!" Lu Ping shrugged, but then he sighed slightly, "It's just that the corpse in the ice coffin is genuine. Even if he is still alive, he must have met a very big person.

Big trouble."

Even Dumbledore couldn't come back to life after his death. Even if someone could really do it, the difficulty would be obviously huge. If he hadn't reached the point where he was really desperate and helpless, Lu Ping believed that

, even a genius like Maka would not implement it easily.

Just as Lupine was thinking about it, Snape suddenly changed his subject and asked:

"So? Where is the so-called 'Lord of the Living Corpses' who sent the corpses?"

"Huh?" Lu Ping paused after hearing this, and then reached out to the icicle city that was already in front of him, the old London, and said, "Although I can't be sure,... it's probably right there! It has something to do with us.

A proposal for cooperation was made, and Harry and the others are currently working with it to find and kill the 'demon'. The previous battle on the English Channel has just ended, and I think they are all resting in the city."

"Is it over there?" Snape also turned his head and looked along Lupin's hand, and then said thoughtfully, "Huh, I think it's over there too."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone on Lupine's side saw Snape standing there and thinking for a while. Without saying anything more, he turned around and started walking towards that side alone. After being startled for a moment, Kingsley hurriedly

He hurriedly took a few steps and walked around to block the opponent.

"Are you going to rush in like this?"

"Otherwise?" Snape asked as he walked without even stopping, "Are we going to stand in line in a daze like you did?"

Before he finished speaking, he had already walked past Kingsley. Kingsley turned around with some hesitation, and after staring at the other person's back, he finally turned around again.

Lupine's side.

Lupine seemed to have guessed what Kingsley wanted to say at this time, and he waved his hand decisively and said:

"What else can we do? Let's go!"

He had already made up his mind before Snape showed up. Now seeing Snape leaving resolutely, he naturally had nothing to hesitate about. After greeting him and revealing Snape's whereabouts from the beginning,

Rocky Blois, who had not spoken again since then, roared, and he also took steps to follow Snape, who had already walked a short distance away.

…

We are getting closer and closer to the east entrance of the frozen city, and the street under our feet is gradually becoming less difficult to walk on. It can be seen that at least this main road has been renovated recently, although

The repair method is obviously a bit rough, just like the surrounding neighborhood buildings.

But of course, Lu Ping and others are walking on this road now, but they don't have much time to pay attention to the condition of the road. What they are more concerned about is those people who sometimes flash by in the windows of the buildings on both sides.

Horrible figure.

Although so far, they have not seen those guys who are obviously not human beings coming out to attack, and they have not even seen the patrolling zombie group that they saw when observing from the outside. But just walking in the zombie lair was enough to scare them.

The depressing feeling of countless living corpses secretly watching and watching is enough to cause everyone great psychological pressure.

Therefore, not only Lupin and the others, but also Snape, who had been walking alone at the front from the beginning, also slowed down significantly.

However, even if everyone's alertness has been raised to the highest level, no one in the entire team has stopped even half a step because of this pressure. Even if it is slow, they are still moving forward.

It wasn't until they really approached the entrance to the ice cave that is now the east gate of the City of Icicles that a tall figure standing there made everyone finally stop.

Unexpectedly, the other party took the initiative to speak at the next moment.

"Humans, you have been sneaking around there these days... and now... are you finally willing to come over?"
