Chapter 1826: Clods
Another morning has arrived, and the morning sun rises in the east, dyeing the waves of the English Channel with a brilliant golden hue.
However, the harbor of Weymouth in the fog only shone with a faint light, and at a glance, it seemed as if the whole world was covered with a faint glow.
In fact, if you look at it aside from those unpleasant realities, this scene is actually quite amazing. It's a pity, who still has this objective and calm mentality right now?
"Go a little further east...... Yes, that's it, nail the stake down from the marked point! Officer Rowan, the bucket of materials you have is going to be placed on the west side...... Two more steps to your left-hand side, and there's the sign next door......"
In the small three-story building that had been used as a camp, Sarah was directing the alchemy formationβshe had been busy since she had followed Hermione to the camp.
And from the various messy things that everyone has placed, it can be seen that the alchemy array is indeed very different from the conventional magic array. Since it can often directly use the properties of various items around it, this characteristic of adapting to local conditions makes it more likely to be used in practice.
Of course, some of the more core parts still have to be constructed using more pure material and even human spirit.
"Alright, thank you guys, please go downstairs! I'll take care of the rest. β
Don't look at Sarah's petite body, but her strength is greater than ordinary people, and she dragged a few big sacks and easily walked to the middle of the formation.
Once everyone had stepped out of the array, she poured out the bags of alchemical materials Hermione had borrowed from Beauxbatons and stacked them in the center of the circle according to the drawings she had drawn at Camp Granger.
As her last piece of copper was placed in place, the entire third floor of the small building suddenly shook slightly. Then, the floor of this floor seemed to turn into water in an instant, and everything that was placed in the formation sank down and sank into the floor.
The next moment, when the material and the formation were completely integrated, the scene outside the window that had just gradually lit up because of the morning sun suddenly disappeared without a trace, and it turned into darkness again.
"What's going on? What happened? β
"Is the enemy coming...... Wizard Bell? Officer Rowan? β
"Quick! Get out there and seeβ"
There was a commotion among the survivors downstairs, and everyone was frightened by the unexpected situation outside the window that suddenly darkened, and although they were scared, no one dared to go out to take a look.
To be honest, they have been chased by living corpses and fled here one by one these days, and they have become frightened birds, and it is natural that they will be frightened when they encounter abnormalities.
But fortunately, at least Luo Wen and Bell were still calm, and they saw the yellow-robed wizard Bell waving his hand and said:
"You go and calm everyone down, I'll go out and have a look...... Rest assured! There are still so many guards on the periphery, if something really happens, they can at least come back one or two, and there is no reason why there is no sound until now. β
As he said that, Bell drew his wand, turned around and ran towards the gate.
"Click."
As soon as he opened the door, Bell immediately found that it was also pitch black, even darker than the night that was now shrouded in fog.
It's just that this dark world only permeates the outside of the door, with the threshold as the boundary, is extremely clear. In front of him, it was like a black wall that could swallow everything, which made people feel a little daunted.
"Could it be...... Is Miss Hohenheim's alchemy array already activated? Bell muttered to himself, "But, this is alchemy? β
After a few seconds of hesitation, he finally tried to extend the wand in his hand into the darkness outside the door, and only after retracting it and finding that there was no damage did he dare to slowly reach forward.
"Wait," he hesitated, then suddenly withdrew his hand again, "let's go up to Miss Hohenheim and ask for clarification first!" β
β¦β¦
Just when there was a sudden commotion downstairs due to the unusual change, Sarah on the third floor had already clapped her hands lightly, and then turned around.
"Miss Granger, the formation is complete."
It can be seen that Hermione has actually been standing by the stairs leading downstairs, and when she saw Sarah standing in the center of the alchemy circle and turned her head to look at her, she immediately nodded at her.
"I'm sorry for you," she thanked her, "but can you give me a rough explanation?" You know, my knowledge of alchemy is shallow. β
"Oh, of course," Sarah said, "it's actually similar to the formation at St. Mungo's back then, it's all a 'flip' on a spatial level...... It's just that this one is definitely much simpler than the one at the time, and the effect is even worse, and there is no room for improvisation. β
As she spoke, she spread out her palms and flipped them up and down.
"At that time, there were excellent materials provided by Maca, and at the same time, in order to set a trap for Helbo, I used an alchemical prototype handed down by our Hohenheim family. But this doesn't need to be so bothersome, it shouldn't be a problem to prevent living corpses. β
With this explanation, Sarah finally said:
"Anyway, if you think of it as me, I've moved the whole building from the ground to the ground. When you go out, you can go directly to the main entrance, but if you want to come back, you have to have someone inside the door to answer you - reach out and pull someone in, like this. β
With that, she reached out and made a tugging motion, then shrugged her shoulders slightly.
"From the inside, you can see if there's anyone outside, it's simple."
"Oh, let's go down and have a look!" Hermione nodded immediately.
Sarah, however, shook her head at this point.
"I'm sorry, Miss Granger, I won't go down." She seemed to say with some regret, "It's done, and I should go." β
Sarah's words made Hermione's heart pause, and the movement of turning around under her feet also stopped.
"What?"
"I said I had to go," Sarah said, "I think you're aware of that...... Or rather, you've always been suspicious, haven't you? β
"You-"
By now, Hermione didn't want to say "why" anymore, because her question never seemed to be answered.
Unexpectedly, Sarah, who was standing in place this time, took the initiative to say:
"Maybe you're a little confused...... Actually, I am too, so I'll have to go to him and ask why. But...... You know, Maca asked me to do it, and I did it, and I was willing to listen to him. β
Before she could finish speaking, Hermione only heard a "click" sound, and the "Sarah" in front of her shattered into a pile of dirt.
