Chapter 1440

"Luna... Stop playing and come out quickly! I have something to tell you."

When Maka suddenly opened her mouth and said this to the statue, everyone saw that at first everyone could only look at the staring statue and slowly lowered his head.

With the slight deformation of the statue's hands, the silver double helix that originally rushed into the sky finally disintegrated inch by inch in the eyes of everyone, turned into flowing silver and poured down into the body of the mercury statue.

Then, the radiance of the sky also weakened, until the whole town returned to a large area of darkness with only street lights.

The next moment, a foot suddenly stretched out from the inside of the statue and shook around, as if looking for a foothold.

As soon as Maka saw it, she had to smile helplessly. Then she reached out and grabbed each other's ankle and guided Luna to the edge of the statue base.

"Come out!"

When Maka called again, Luna seemed to realize that Maka was guarding in front. She suddenly had no scruples and jumped out directly on the base.

At that moment, Luna's long blond curled hair was floated by the mercury of the statue. Even if she turned over her head with inertia, she waved her teeth and claws to Maka's face.

"Ah!"

Seeing this, Maka quickly caught her with open arms and was knocked back by her. The long blond hair covered his head.

"What are you doing? Can't you walk well?"

To say so, he first gently put Luna on the ground and brushed away the hair thrown all over her face. Only then did he angrily extend his index finger and poke her smooth forehead.

"I see!" Luna casually stroked her hair and said insincerely, "I must go next time."

"And next time?"

Marca helplessly rolled her eyes, but soon, he couldn't help smiling and shaking his head.

"Well, there seems to be a 'next time'."

After such a murmur, he turned around and spread his arms to the asylum seekers gathered in the square:

"Ladies and gentlemen, please go back and have a rest! Next, I will make some 'small' attempts about this statue. It may be a little dangerous if you continue to stay here -"

Due to the use of the sound reinforcement spell, not only the people in front can hear this, but also those standing outside can hear it clearly. Needless to say, Maka's words were obviously very effective. With his mention, the crowd soon dispersed.

Of course, if you have to stay, there can be no "danger".

Not long after, there were only Marca, Luna and Ron who just got up from the ground.

"You're... At this point, you're still running out for a stroll." Marca looked at Ron and Luna and couldn't help reminding, "starting tomorrow, when everyone is almost settled, there are still a lot of things to do... You can't run at that time, so you'd better have a good sleep and keep your spirit tonight."

"Oh, I know, but -"

Ron looked at Luna's innocent face in distress, thought about it, and quietly swallowed what he wanted to say.

"Well, anyway," he scratched his head, "I just can't sleep... And Hermione, they went to help take care of the injuries from St. Mungo, and she didn't let me... Uh, I mean, didn't let us go."

"Really?" Marca paused when she heard the speech. "Hermione... Alas, they should have a rest first."

With such a sigh, he put the file aside in advance and looked at Luna, who was still peeking at the mercury statue.

"Don't look. Anyway, you have to go in later. Turn your head around and listen to me first." Marca patted her on the shoulder and then said, "tell me! What's it like inside and what's wrong?"

Although it is true that he actually has a high evaluation of the statue, after all, it is definitely a relatively outstanding work in the history of alchemy.

However, the use of wrapping a living man in mercury always makes people feel a little uneasy.

After all, through another inspection during the operation of the statue just now, he found that there were not many people who could make that thing work. It was a coincidence to meet Luna this time.

In fact, Babur, the craftsman and alchemist who made the statue at that time, was mainly a statue tailored for Miss Miranda. So now if you want to start this statue, you must find a woman who has a high degree of harmony with Miranda's spirit.

For example, Luna, who is simple minded and kind-hearted.

"Uncomfortable?" when Maka asked about her feelings in the statue, Luna shook her head and said, "no? After I went in, I just felt dark in front of me, and then I could see things again soon... Well, it was like I became the statue myself! It was amazing!"

"Well," Marca nodded, as if she knew there must be a follow-up, and then asked, "and then?"

"Well," Luna thought about it and then replied, "then... I suddenly felt that I could do a lot of things. For example, just now, I lit a 'big light bulb' brighter than the moon for the whole town!"

"Of course, I saw it!" Marca shrugged. "Not just me, I think the whole town saw it! But... Is there anything else interesting? Like... What can you do if the town is attacked by 'bad guys'?"

"Ah!" Luna said suddenly, "yes... If I were in the statue, I should be able to put up a big protective cover for the whole town! You know, it's the kind of safe guarding mantra."

"Is that so..."

Maka pondered for a while, and then said:

"Can you feel where the shield came from?"

"Where did you come out?"

He seems to have baffled Luna at once. After Luna lowered her head and thought hard for a while, she slowly raised her head and pointed to her feet with uncertainty.

"Maybe... Maybe... Under the feet of the statue?"

"You mean in the base of the stone carving?"

"No, no, but down --" Luna shook her head. "It should be deeper."

When Maka heard this, she finally nodded with satisfaction. Then she opened her arms and patted Luna and Ron on the back.

"All right, you can go back - have a good rest, you hear me?"

"Ah?"

When Luna heard the speech, she twisted her mouth reluctantly and said:

"Didn't you say you could go in and play?"

"Oh," said Marca with a smile as if she had just remembered, "I thought so, but now I don't need it."

"You big liar!"

Luna immediately stared at him, wrinkled her nose, then pursed her mouth and angrily turned her head away.
