Chapter 1439: You big liar
Luna...... Stop playing, come out! I have something to tell you. ”
When Maca suddenly spoke and said this to the statue, everyone saw that at first everyone could only look at the statue with dry eyes, but slowly lowered its head.
And as the statue's hands moved slightly deformed, the silver double helix that had originally reached the sky finally disintegrated inch by inch in the eyes of everyone, turned into quicksilver and poured down, merging into the body of the mercury statue.
Then the light of the sky diminished, until the town reverted to a vast swath of dimness lit only by street lights.
The next moment, a foot suddenly protruded from the inside of the statue, dangling as if looking for a place to stay.
When Maca saw this, she smiled helplessly, then reached out and grabbed the other party's ankle, guiding Luna to the edge of the statue's base.
"Come out!"
When Maca called softly again, Luna inside seemed to realize that Maca was guarding in front, and suddenly had no scruples, and jumped out directly on the base very neatly.
For a moment, Luna's long blonde hair fluttered up at the statue's mercury, and as she flipped over her head with inertia, she threw her teeth and claws in Maca's face.
"Huh!"
Seeing this, Maca hurriedly opened her arms to catch her, and was hit by her and took half a step back. And the long blonde hair covered his head.
"What are you jumping, can't you walk well?"
Having said that, he gently lowered Luna to the ground first, and casually brushed away the strands of hair that were all over his face, and then he stretched out his index finger and poked her smooth forehead angrily.
"Got it!" Luna ruffled her hair and said insincerely, "I'll have to go next time." ”
"And next time?"
Maca rolled her eyes helplessly, but soon, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.
"Well, it seems that there is a 'next time'."
After muttering like this, he turned around, stretched out his arms to the evacuees gathered in the square, and said aloud:
"Ladies and gentlemen, please go back and rest! I'm going to make some 'small' attempts at this statue, and it might be a bit dangerous for you to stay here."
Thanks to the use of the sound reinforcement spell, not only the people in front of them could hear these words, but even those standing on the periphery could hear them very clearly. Needless to say, Maca's words obviously worked, and after he mentioned this, the crowd quickly dispersed.
Of course, if you have to stay, there is no "danger".
After a while, only Maca, Luna, and Ron, who had just risen from the ground, were left in the square.
"What are you doing...... It's all at this point, and I'm running out to wander around. Maca looked at Ron and Luna and couldn't help but remind, "Starting tomorrow, when everyone is almost settled, there is still a lot of work to do...... You won't be able to run then, so it's best to get some sleep tonight. ”
"Oh, I know, but"
Ron looked at Luna's innocent face rather distressedly, thought about it, and quietly swallowed the words he wanted to say the most back into his stomach.
"Well, anyway," he said, scratching his head, "I just can't sleep a little...... Also, Hermione, they went to help with the injuries that St. Mungo had come, and she didn't let me...... Uh, I mean, didn't let us go. ”
"Really?" Hearing this, Maca couldn't help but pause, "Hermione...... Alas, they should have rested first. ”
With such a sigh of emotion, he put the file aside in advance, and turned to look at Luna, who was still peeking at the mercury statue.
"Don't look at it, you'll have to go in in a while anyway, turn your head and listen to me first." Maca patted her on the shoulder, then said, "Let's talk about it! What does it feel like to be inside, and is there anything uncomfortable about it? ”
Although to be honest, he actually has a high opinion of this statue, after all, it is definitely a relatively outstanding work in the history of alchemy.
However, the way to use a large living person wrapped in mercury always makes people feel a little uneasy.
After all, after another inspection of the statue just now, he found that there were really not many people who could make that thing work, and it was really a coincidence that he ran into Luna this time.
In fact, Babur, the craftsman and alchemist who made this statue, was mainly a statue of Miss Miranda. So much so that if you want to start this statue now, you have to find a woman who is very compatible with Miranda's spirit.
For example, Luna, who is simple-minded and kind-hearted.
"Uncomfortable?" Hearing Maca ask how she felt inside the statue, Luna shook her head and said, "No? When I went in, I just felt that it was dark, and then I was able to see things again very quickly...... Well, it's as if I became that statue myself! It's amazing! ”
"Well," Maca nodded, as if she knew there must be a follow-up, and asked, "And then?" ”
"Hmm," Luna thought for a moment before replying, "and ...... I suddenly felt like I could do many, many things, such as lighting a 'big light bulb' brighter than the moon for the whole town! ”
"Of course, I saw it!" Maca shrugged, "It's not just me, I think the whole town has seen it!" But...... Is there anything else interesting? It's like ...... What can you do if this town is attacked by 'bad guys'? ”
"Ahh When Luna heard this, she suddenly said, "Yes, there is...... If I were in that statue, I would be able to put up a big shield over the town! You know, it's the kind of peace that keeps the mantra. ”
"Is that so......"
Maca pondered, thought for a moment, and then said:
"Can you feel where that shield 'came from'?"
"'Where' it came from?"
His question seemed to stump Luna all at once. After Luna lowered her head and thought hard for a while, she slowly raised her head and pointed to her feet uncertainly.
"Probably...... Maybe...... Is it under the feet of the statue? ”
"You mean in the pedestal of that stone carving?"
"No, no, it's going down," Luna shook her head, "it should be deeper." ”
When Maca heard this, she finally nodded in satisfaction, and then opened her arms and patted Luna and Ron on the back.
"Alright, you can go back and get some rest, do you hear me?"
"Huh?"
When Luna heard this, even though she was a little reluctant, she twisted her mouth and said:
"Didn't you say you could go in and play?"
"Oh," Maca smiled, as if just remembered, "I thought it was like this, but I don't need it anymore. ”
"You big liar!"
Luna immediately stared at him and wrinkled her nose, then pursed her lips and turned her head away in a puff.
