Chapter 2329 Invitation From Humans
"Sorry, the master is out."
As the evening approached, Hermione, who had just studied the formation structure with Luna and Hannah for a whole afternoon, left the room and went to the main hall as usual—if the "Lord of the Living Corpses" was still in London, basically everything would be fine. Find each other there.
It's a pity that in the past two days, Hermione made a trip for nothing almost every time.
And the young living corpse who stayed at the gate of the hall... Well, even the younger brother of the twins, he only had this answer every time.
But that boy would not prevent others from entering the hall. Hermione went in for a stroll yesterday, and the master was indeed not inside. Only the door leading to the apse cannot be opened, maybe there are some secrets hidden behind it.
Hermione didn't try to open it forcibly, one is that even if there is something shady, it is easy to scare the snake, and the other is... At present, it seems that there is no need to dig too deep, is it?
Even Sarah and Safina, who were secretly suspicious, didn't want to act rashly! Not to mention Hermione? She has no intention of tearing face off with the other party.
"It's just... well, it's even more confusing than an undeciphered ancient magic text scroll, making it completely confusing."
Hermione, who was walking in the corridor, shook her head and sighed slightly.
The palace still looks very deserted and empty, and you usually can't meet other people when you walk in it. In the city of London outside, sporadic high-level living corpses began to appear in areas where part of the ice had been cleared, as if they were clearing out some more useful buildings for subsequent use.
Walking to the corner staircase not far away, Hermione glanced at the upward staircase. From here, you can quickly go around to the area where everyone is currently living temporarily. Just thinking about it, the time is actually a little awkward, and after a little hesitation, she still chose to turn her head and walk to the front hall.
After leaving the palace, she came to the empty square in front of the palace, and she paced around the square alone.
More than half of the sky here is still covered by hoarfrost-covered ice, only the huge hole on the side leads directly to the outside of London, and the gloomy and hazy sky can be seen at a glance from here.
This feeling is actually very wonderful. The white frost top and the overcast clouds over there are almost connected at this time, and it is difficult to distinguish each other without looking carefully. But looking left and right, except for this square, everything is pale, as if being held upside down by a frost-colored cauldron, adding a bit of depression for no reason.
Of course, Hermione still remembered that it was said that the huge hole was when the demon "angry" broke into Buckingham Palace not long ago to have a brief confrontation with the "lord of the living corpse".
It was formed almost at the same time as the huge icicle itself. As long as you can fly, you can directly enter and leave this frozen city from this square.
Hermione didn't try it, because that led to the north of the city, and she usually only entered and exited through the south gate.
"Miss Granger...?"
All of a sudden, Hermione, who was walking half a circle around the square, heard someone calling her in the distance behind her, so she temporarily put aside the messy thoughts in her mind and turned around to look.
And soon she saw that at some point there was a figure at the exit of the icy passage across the square. Seeing her looking over, she bowed slightly and continued to walk this way.
That was the elder sister of the twins. Unlike her younger brother, this living corpse girl was much softer both in her expression and her attitude. Even sometimes, Hermione can feel a special maternal radiance from the other party.
Perhaps because of this, and the fact that the other party's English is obviously better than other high-level zombies, Hermione is actually quite willing to talk to her.
It's a pity that the other party seems to be busy with a lot of things all the time - for example, the cleaning up of the city mentioned earlier is led by her and the same clan.
"Hello!"
Hermione still didn't know how to address each other, because the pair of siblings shared the same name, and their name - "Swallow", was rather strange to humans. It's certainly not a very good name to call.
"Hello." The other party came closer, bowed politely again, and then said again, "Sorry, we haven't given you a thoughtful reception since you checked in. This seems to be a relatively rude thing among human beings. It's just...Maybe Miss Granger is clear to you—I heard that you often go to the southern residential area these two days, and you should have seen it, we are trying to find a way to stabilize our family here."
"Oh, yes, I've seen a lot these days." Hermione nodded suddenly, "And... how should I put it? I seem to have made a few friends among you."
"'friend'?"
The living corpse girl paused when she heard the words, and after a little hesitation, she showed a subtle smile. In addition, she is a living corpse after all, even though she is closer to an ordinary human being than others of the same kind, her dull and mottled skin makes her supposedly gentle smile somewhat sinister.
"I've read about this word in the books my master gave me, and I've seen some stories about it, but to be honest, I still can't quite understand its true meaning... Oh, of course, I think this Should be a good thing - thanks for making 'friends' with my people."
Strange relationships and strange emotions are all obstacles that stand in the way of normal communication. However, there is still no way to do this. It will take more time to have a deeper communication and understanding with the living corpses.
Fortunately, it seems that at least the two sides do not reject contact with each other—at least most of the high-level living corpses are under the guidance of the "master", that's right.
"Oh, by the way," Hermione suddenly seemed to remember something, and then said, "Speaking of 'making friends', today's dinner time, can I invite a few 'friends' from your clan to have dinner together in the hall? Of course, it would be great if you could come too!"
However, the other party pursed his lips in embarrassment after hearing this.
"...to the dining room in the palace?" The girl thought about it carefully, and finally nodded slowly, "Well, if Miss Granger invites you, I understand—please tell me the candidate, I will Will take them to the appointment."
In fact, although Hermione was indeed on a whim, she also made this invitation on purpose. Including the other party's hesitation, she can probably guess the reason for it.
Because she had already discovered that unless something happened to the living corpses, otherwise, they would hardly take the initiative to step into the former Buckingham Palace.
"Sorry for embarrassing you..."
After a little apology, Hermione didn't ask any more questions, she just told the other party one by one the candidates in her mind, and made an appointment for dinner time to wait for the other party's arrival.
Speaking of which, this should be the first time that humans and living corpses have a meal together, right?
