Chapter 213 Snakewood
·
Wo Bu Geng Xin
Luke really couldn't understand how Dumbledore had the face to say this.
After all, if the situation at Hogwarts continues to be allowed to flow, it would not be surprising for Luke to become what Infalmorny is now.
Of course, since Dumbledore has spoken like this, naturally, as a student, he cannot disgrace his principal.After all, there are Jeff, a group of "good students" who dare to do things with the principal's guests in front of the principal's face.Of course he couldn't follow suit.
When seeing Dumbledore appear, the expression on Agilbert's face became quite helpless.He now knew that Luke and the others must be inseparable from the withering of the snake tree.But because of this attack, if he dares to continue to question this matter, he will turn his face.
We were attacked on your territory, it's fine if you can't control people, but now you still come to question us.
To be honest, in this situation, it would be a shame to turn around and leave.
"I thought you'd come over and stop it sooner."
Luke looked at Agilbert, took a step back, stood behind Dumbledore, and then asked.
"Because when you were attacked, there was no way to stop this matter."
Agilbert doesn't do anything like that.Now I can only say what to say.After all, the opponent has already taken the absolute initiative.
Unless he wanted to flip the table, now Luke and Dumbledore could just leave and stay as they wanted.
But... even if he really intends to lift the table, he has to see if he has the ability to lift the table.There are not many people who can turn the table in front of Dumbledore, and Egilbert is definitely not one of them.
He looked at Luke like a fox hiding behind a tiger.
"Don't say anything else." Agilbert made an inviting gesture, "If you two are still willing, then Infalmoney School of Magic and Magic welcomes you to come."
Luke and Dumbledore looked at each other, then looked at Rove behind him and Newt who came out of the woods, nodded and said, "Our purpose of coming here has never changed."
The sincere tone is like a reef in the waves, and it seems to have a sense of solidity that lasts forever.But actually... reefs are always going to crumble over time and with the lapping of the waves.
"We are here to help you, Principal Agilbert."
Luke said it as if it was true.
It's just that no one seems to believe him.
So this group of people followed the mountain path and walked up to the Infamony Academy of Magic on the top of the mountain.
………………
They didn't prepare too many welcome ceremonies. After the attack and Luke's rise to power, this exchange seemed particularly awkward.As a half-local, Rove took the initiative to assume the role of Luke's tour guide.It's just that this tour guide seems a bit incompetent, after all, the time he has actually been in school is not too long.
So Miranda followed the two of them, checking for Rove's omissions from time to time. ... Luke followed them in this school whose history is not long compared to Hogwarts. In Luke's view, the hallway where the founders and outstanding alumni are hung is the most proud of them. so short.And there are some people who can't be regarded as big shots in the true sense.
His expression is still perfect, he can maintain this expression of admiration with a little surprise all day long.
Of course, this is not necessary in most cases.
"This is the best viewing platform in our school."
They walked down the corridor, down the hall, up the stairs, and finally came to this huge terrace.
Luke nodded with emotion, this time he was really emotional.
"Really, this observation deck is great, there is no such thing as an observation deck at Hogwarts, and if we want to see the whole school, we have to climb to the top floor and look down from the attic where the owls live." said Really, I don't dislike owls, and I've bought a great owl myself, but I still think it doesn't make them smell bad when they're huddled together."
Of course there is no such thing as an observation deck at Hogwarts.Because it was a castle.A castle is not only a residence for nobles, but also a fortress for nobles.Its role is greater at the military level, at least when Hogwarts Castle was built.
What are you doing on the viewing platform?Save the chance to give someone a headshot with a spell?
But Infalmorney is obviously not Hogwarts, nor is it a gloomy and mysterious castle, it is more like a beautiful manor.This place is more suitable for students' study and life than Hogwarts.
"It's amazing...and the best part of our school is not this viewing platform."
Miranda smiled politely, but Luke could see that there was a little bit of embarrassment in that politeness.
It would be embarrassing for anyone.Something like an observation deck is definitely not a good thing for a school to show its strength.But before, no matter whether he was passing through the corridor of honor or looking at those classrooms and experimental devices, Luke just nodded in appreciation and made some simple evaluations.It's not as sincere as it is here on the viewing platform.
But Luke didn't care, he walked to the edge of the viewing platform, put his hands on the marble railing, and looked at everything in front of him.The most striking of these is naturally the tree.
"The Snakewood is taller than I imagined, and it's higher than what I've seen from the information."
Luke said rather emotionally.
As you can see, the big tree that is not too close to the teaching area looks like a snake with its front body raised.This is also one of the characteristics of snake wood, they always look very similar to various snakes.
However, the tree in front of me will still surprise those who know the snake tree even more.Because it is really too big.According to its legend, it should not be so tall.
Some people think that this is the power of the Slytherin wand, while others boldly think that the legend of this snake wood is false, it has always grown here, and it does not have the power of the Slytherin wand at all.
Seriously, such a situation is not impossible, after all, there is no one like Nicole Flamel in the United States.Most of the information can be falsified. ... At this moment, the snake tree looked so weak.It is half dead.And is about to die.
Luke didn't know why his nose suddenly became sore, and it soured for no reason.
He rubbed his nose and suppressed his emotions with emotional control.
"Let's go, let's see if we can save this guy."
Luke took a deep breath, and he understood that he was still affected to a certain extent after all.Even if the emotions have calmed down, the memories and feelings it brings are not fake.
Miranda and Rove looked a little strange.They didn't expect Luke to react like this.Miranda could feel Luke's pushback, while Rove still remembered Luke's words in the morning, "It's hopeless, wait for death."
But now, Luke seems to have been stimulated by something. He seems to have a way, and he seems to want to really do his part.
Miranda frowned, she no longer thought of Luke as a simple child.On the contrary, it was clear to her now that Luke was a sly fox.At least for the time being a fox.
Her first reaction was not that Luke's conscience found out, but that Luke might really have nothing to do, and now she couldn't wait to do her best.
"Okay, let's go there."
Miranda said with some regret.Luke sensed Miranda's emotions, but he said nothing.Just nodded silently.
The three of them walked in the direction of Snake Wood under the leadership of Miranda.
"But, at any rate, I wish you could tell us what the cause of its withering is."
In front of a door leading to the courtyard, Miranda stopped and said facing the opening in front of her.She didn't look at Luke because she knew there was no need for Luke to agree.
"If I can't save it, I'll tell you. But I'm telling the truth. If I can't save it, there's no point in telling you why. After all, it's the result that counts."
"And if I can save it. Then such a request is pointless."
Luke's tone had unknowingly become a little stern.
"So now. Take me there."
Luke didn't growl and drop the harsh words.Instead, he said such words in a slightly cold tone.
"Luke." Rove tugged on his cuff.Signal him to calm down.
Luke understood Rove's meaning, so he turned his head and smiled at Rove.
Then he saw Rove shivering violently.
"Your eyes, Luke."
Rove lowered his voice and said.
Eye?
Luke didn't understand what Rove meant.At this moment, Miranda had already pushed the door open, so Luke temporarily put aside his doubts and walked in that direction.
Miranda wanted to turn her head to say something to Luke, but Luke passed her by.He looked so serious, even a little... cold.
"He He……"
Miranda wanted to stop Luke subconsciously, but Rove grabbed his hand.
Looking at Luke's back, Rove shook his head, and said, "Let him go by himself. It's best not to get close to him now."... "What's wrong with him?"
"How would I know, I only know that he gives me a familiar feeling now."
"What do you feel?"
Miranda was a little puzzled.
"That's how I felt when I saw a rune snake hunting from afar."
Rove stared at Luke's back with vigilance.He didn't know what happened to Luke, but he knew that Luke's state was very wrong now.
Luke stopped and looked at the tree in front of him with a calm expression.
But the magic power around him began to surge wildly.The snake tree began to shake crazily, and a large number of withered and yellow leaves began to fall.The remaining green areas also began to turn yellow and wither.
Seeing this scene, Miranda became impatient.
No, let you save Shemu in the past, why is the situation obviously worse now?
Miranda was about to rush into the courtyard in one stride, ready to bring Luke back.If the withering of the snake wood is a foregone conclusion, then it must be allowed to wither naturally instead of being artificially accelerated.Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain?joke.
How long Snakewood can live is how long Egilbert's principal can do.
How could she allow Shemu to die completely today?
But the moment she stepped half a foot into the courtyard, a low growl sounded in her ears.Then there was a huge impact from the front of him, and Miranda was thrown far away.
Fortunately, Rove had quick eyesight and quick hands, and turned the wall behind him into a soft shape.Miranda got stuck in the wall, but was not hurt.
Rove looked at Luke suspiciously through the not-so-large door. If he read correctly, there was a phantom of a snake there just now.
"Damn, with such a large amount of magic power, there won't be a riot."
........................
"Honestly, Agilbert, as a senior, I think you're a little out of shape."
Dumbledore was very satisfied with the taste of a cup of hot cocoa. He had a sweet tooth, so the drink in front of him was quite delicious to him.
So he was in a good mood and prepared to give some pointers to this junior in the education field.
"Oh, Professor Dumbledore, do you have any advice?"
Agilbert said with a smile on his face.He always appears so calm in front of outsiders.Even when he was attacking before, he didn't lose his composure.
"Seeing the teacher is not counted, but I feel a little pity."
Dumbledore said seriously: "In fact, if you want to secure your current position, the snake wood is of course important. It will become the fuse for your resignation. All the school directors will impeach you when it completely withers."
"But that's not the root cause." Dumbledore shook his head regretfully.
"Even if the snake wood withers, you should still have a way to secure your position as the principal."
"It doesn't matter whether it's improving your own strength. As long as your strength is strong enough, no one will be willing to threaten you with the position of Infalmorny's principal. Otherwise, they will have to arrange a better position for you."
Newt, who was silent on the side, curled his lips after hearing this.
Yes, this is indeed Dumbledore's experience.Those who let him leave Hogwarts headmaster had to give Dumbledore the seat of their asses if he wanted it.Few people would think of doing such a loss-making business.
It's not worth it at all.
"But there is no duplication, Professor." Agilbert listened to Dumbledore's nonsense, but he was not angry, "Now you are the only wizard left."
"Then what you missed was the second possibility." Dumbledore laughed.
"You could have had a year of making changes and using that to get some people together, especially the students. If you could bring them together."
Agilbert exhaled a foul breath and said, "That's not an educator, Professor Dumbledore. It is difficult for me to bridge the relationship between the students, because they are not pure students behind them."
"But at least I think you should try. I don't think you're just here to be the principal."
Dumbledore shrugged: "Educators should always have their own persistence."
Agilbert fell into thinking, but he didn't think for long before he felt a powerful magic power.
He quickly got up and looked in the direction where the magic power came from.
"what happened!"
he exclaimed in surprise. .
I will not update to remind you: remember to collect after reading
