"Crack, click, click..."

A series of crisp sounds were accompanied by ice crystals flying everywhere, and the ice condensed around Maka quickly shattered to pieces. Then he raised his hand and patted the remaining ice shards on his shoulder.

It was as natural as if he had just walked for a while on the snowy streets of Hogsmeade and was about to go into the Three Broomsticks pub for a drink.

At the same time, the two cooling rule beams coming from the rune arm shields in Ginny's and Ron's hands seemed to be finally unsustainable. Even if the two tried to continue to persevere, they had already been squeezed out by the cooling runes.

However, the magic power cannot be recovered so quickly.

What's more, how could the rune arm shield, which was originally made by Maka, cause any trouble to him, the maker?

"Luna," Maka glanced at the girl next to her, and then said calmly, "It's time for you to go, they are all waiting for you!"

But the girl shook her head gently.

"No, I... will stay here." She said seriously, "I think staying with you will be a more correct choice than leaving."

"Why?"

Maka raised her head noncommittally and looked at Hermione and the others, looking at the wary but troubled faces. She no longer looked at Luna, but the words in her mouth did not stop.

"You see, everyone is doubting me and staying away from me, aren't they? If it was just one or two people, then maybe something went wrong, but now there are many people! Obviously, no one agrees with my point of view this time

——Although I still don’t think I was wrong, everyone’s will has been very clearly placed in front of me.”

Having said this, he glanced at Luna again and said calmly:

"So, Luna, what about you? Can you really agree with my 'New Humanity' plan? To be honest, the Miss Luna Lovegood I know probably cannot accept this plan either.

."

When Luna heard this, she quickly nodded again, seemingly so hard that her long, slightly curly pale golden hair swayed in the air.

"Well, I don't agree either." She looked directly at Maka and said, "It's just... Doubt is the key to knowledge, but not to heart. Although you have changed your appearance now,

But I know that you are still our Maka."

Having said this, Luna suddenly turned her head and suddenly looked at Hermione and others in the center of the hall and said loudly:

"You go! It's time for you to go, but I want to stay...Hermione, don't worry about me."

"Luna, what are you talking about? Come on -"

Hermione was about to say something, but unexpectedly, at this moment, several figures quickly passed by Maka and Luna. When passing by, one of the figures suddenly reached out and took advantage of the tacit understanding of the other figures.

Di used his body to separate Maka, and took Luna away with him.

Maka's hand moved slightly at that moment, but in the end she didn't stop it.

When the figures stopped in front of the wizards in the hall, everyone realized that these were actually the high-level living corpses that had been standing in the deepest part of the hall. One of them was holding the living corpse with both hands.

The body of the teenage sister.

The members of the living zombie clan are able to communicate silently on the spiritual level. It seems that they have already discussed their future plans during the period just now - they are preparing to leave with the wizards and rescue Luna.

, which is their expression of goodwill to the wizards.

As for whether Luna is willing or not, it is obviously not within their consideration.

Luna was held up by the waist by one of the living corpses. She struggled hard, but she couldn't escape from the strong arms.

It was only then that the young boy who was the only living corpse among the twins also retreated in front of the wizards. After taking a deep look at Maka, he hurriedly turned back to the human wizards and said:

"Walk!"

Hermione and the others were caught off guard by the sudden change and couldn't help but look at each other. Although they quickly realized the zombie's choice, they still hesitated for a moment.

Maka watched all this happen quietly, watching the decisiveness of the living corpses, Luna's reluctance, and Hermione and others' hesitation, and finally waved back at them:

"You can leave if you want! I said it before, because of our previous friendship, today's meeting... is just a meeting. I have given you the opportunity, and I have made my plans. You have to leave...

At least this time, I won’t stop you.”

After saying that, Maka immediately turned around, walked up the steps step by step, and finally returned to his throne, turned around and sat down casually.

Seeing that Maka really seemed to be making no moves, Hermione and the others gritted their teeth and, after being confused for a while, finally began to retreat.

Not long after, as figures one after another exited the hall, the place became empty again. Maka sat on the throne, holding her head with one hand and was silent for a moment, and then suddenly waved her hand, and all the torches in the hall were instantly extinguished.

, the main hall fell into complete darkness.

…

After exiting the main hall, Hermione and others left Buckingham Palace under the escort of many high-level zombies. They stopped for a while in the square in front of the palace, with different expressions on everyone's faces.

The leader of the living corpse boy thought for a while, and immediately sent a few high-level clan members to the east to gather the clansmen, preparing to lead the whole clan away from this place that was engraved with traces of their growth.

Obviously, compared to the living corpses who have already made up their minds, Hermione and others are more confused - tonight's meeting still makes them feel confused until now.

The future ahead seems to have become more confusing.

Luna, on the other hand, no longer struggled at this time, and the strong high-level living corpse finally put her down. She did not try to return to Buckingham Palace, but there was still a little loss on her face, but she waited with Hermione

Compared with people's confusion, she, who usually looks confused, seems more sober at this moment.

"Harry, Hermione... let's go, I miss Dad." She said softly.

"Ah... um."

Hermione was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and then together with Lupine and others, they began to greet the others and prepare to leave the icicle city.

No one said anything more, they just expressed their agreement one after another, took out their brooms, magic carpets, etc. and spontaneously left the ground and gathered in mid-air.

Hermione hesitated again before stepping on the broom, then looked at the living corpse boy waiting not far away and said:

"together?"

"good."

The young man didn't think about it and simply nodded in agreement. Because he still remembered that his sister had mentioned in a casual chat with him before her death that she wanted the tribe to continue to learn from humans and continue to have good relations with humans.

He decided to listen to his sister.
