Chapter 2243 Substitution on the Spot
Regardless of whether the lord of the living corpses was Maca or not, there should be no negligence in the preparations that should be made. And with a total of three days and three nights of preparation time, of course Hermione and the others would not waste a single minute.
So when Hermione and Delphi were detailing the series of possibilities in the Muggle bar on the island, another group of wizards came to the seaside wasteland on the east side to start the final part of the preparations.
Building high-rise buildings on flat ground would naturally not be too difficult for this group of wizards who had just withdrawn from the Burrow stronghold. Since they were able to quickly build those towers back then, even after experiencing the destruction of their strongholds and the horrific attack and sweep of the army of living corpses, it would of course be faster to build only one now.
It took the last day and night to rush to build, and finally, they finally erected the tallest building on St. Martins Island before dawn.
But in the final analysis, this time is too hasty after all. In addition to the magic spell used to strengthen the tower, there is only time to mix the rune bricks requested by Hermione in advance with normal stone bricks according to the predetermined position, and then... this building is based on the formation in the ground. Ki's tower is considered complete.
Obviously, this magic tower was not as strong as the ones in the stronghold at that time, but Hermione knew very well that what she needed was not defensive ability. Now being able to meet her minimum requirements in such a short period of time is actually pretty good.
...
The morning of the fourth day arrived amid the hurried footsteps of a group of wizards.
There was no surprise. Of course, when the sky gradually brightened from the eastern sea level, everyone found that the sky wall was still white.
I don't know if it's because of the morning dew, or the water vapor that has been entrenched silently in recent days, but the air still feels wet and sticky, and even breathing has become a little sluggish.
This rain will definitely continue to fall - just this, I am afraid that even ignorant children can feel it.
No one is happy to negotiate with the chiefs of a host of enemies in this weather.
Right now, just around the tower, many figures have begun to gather and line up in silence. And on the high platform at the top of the tower, Harry, Safina, Luna, Delphi... It can be said that the best and most capable young people on the side of human wizards have almost all gathered on this high tower.
As a matter of fact, even the only main combat force currently in the frontline team who cannot be called a "young man"—Mr. Blois Patriarch, is now riding on the back of the fire dragon Norbeta with Charlie,
Patrol flights over the nearby Celtic Sea.
Now that he has come to this point, many things still need to be verified, but at least, the strength of the other party's master of living corpses is definitely beyond doubt. Since the other party is coming, no one dares to relax, even if the living corpse party has agreed that only three people will come.
Not long after, Hermione also climbed up the high tower along the stairs just built at night, and came to the high tower platform where many people had already gathered. The wind here is so strong that the hair is swaying wildly in the air. But she thought about it, but she didn't tie up her messy curly long hair, but stubbornly let it swing stubbornly in the wind.
She hasn't tied her hair in a long time.
After going up to the tower, Hermione didn't say anything more to the others—what should be said has already been said in the past few days, repeatedly planning, exhorting, discussing, and discussing, it seems that there is nothing more to say That's right.
Soon, after walking around the stone stacks on the edge of the platform, Hermione returned to the center of the platform under the watchful eyes of her companions.
Because what was agreed today was a negotiation after all, a set of tables and chairs conjured by the Transfiguration Charm was placed on the platform. Hermione sat down at one end of the table, thought for a while, and suddenly pulled out her wand and tapped the table.
The next moment, the long table suddenly began to shrink, and the surrounding chairs disappeared one after another. After a few seconds, the original long table turned into a simple small round table, with a total of two armchairs sitting under her.
"Hermione?"
Harry opened his mouth to say something, but Hermione shook his head slightly and interrupted him.
"I decided not to overcomplicate things. As long as the other party doesn't break the rules in this negotiation, the real negotiation only needs two people who can make decisions, and that's enough."
"But, the closer we are to you, the more defensive we can be!" Harry couldn't help saying.
However, after hearing this, Hermione stared at the table in front of her in silence for a moment, then shook her head again.
"not me."
As she said so, she suddenly supported the table, pursed her lips and stood up from the chair. Immediately afterwards, everyone around saw her suddenly turn around, raised her hand and said very seriously:
"The person in charge of negotiating with the other party today is not me...it's Luna!"
"Huh?" "What?" "Hermione, what's going on?"
As soon as the words were finished, the eyes of all the partners widened, and they looked at Hermione's slender, tall, firm, but somehow desolate figure inexplicably. Even Delphi, who had an in-depth conversation with Hermione yesterday, only vaguely guessed some of the other party's thoughts after a burst of surprise.
Only Hermione and Luna, the parties involved, didn't have much expression on their faces - one of them stretched out his finger and looked at each other deeply; while the other didn't even raise his head, just hung his head Eyelid stood there, no one knew what she was thinking.
"Luna? Luna?"
Hannah on the side stretched out her hand to tug on her good friend. After tugging several times in a row, Luna, who lowered her head, slowly turned her head and gave Hannah a blank look.
"What's wrong?"
"Front, front," Hannah hurriedly pouted her lips towards Hermione, signaling, "Hermione seems to want you to be in charge of the negotiation."
In fact, since seeing the ice coffin three days ago, Luna's spirit has been a little bit out of order. In the past, she was always in a trance, but in the following days, the environment and experience also caused her many changes, especially the changes in the past two years.
However, in just these three days, her original trance came back—it even became much more serious than when she first entered school! It's just because everyone has been busy preparing for this negotiation in the past three days, and probably only Hannah and Shabo who lived in her shadow really noticed her abnormality.
"Negotiation?" Luna blinked, and whispered in confusion, "What?"
