"What the hell happened!"
Miranda rubbed her chest, looked at the young man not far away, her face was full of incomprehension.
She could see the looming snake scales, but she didn't understand what these snake scales were.She couldn't figure out what was going on with this magical power that was so huge that it could be synonymous with horror.
"Because the snake wood was awakened."
A somewhat gloomy voice rang in Miranda's ear.
Both Miranda and Rove looked in that direction.There was some vigilance on Rove's face.When Miranda saw the other party, the expression on her face was even more embarrassing.
"Mr. Stewart."
Miranda bowed and said to this gloomy young man.
The young man ignored Miranda. He glanced at Rove, and said, "I told you before that nothing will happen if you call the Gunter family. You can wait a little bit, Wait for me to find out whether it will help the snake wood's recovery. In the end, you still acted without waiting for my reply."
Miranda's expression was a bit awkward, not to mention anything else, just judging from the current situation, what Stuart said at the time might be really reasonable.
But this doesn't mean that Stuart didn't have other thoughts at the time.After all, with Luke's arrival, as long as he really wants it, then that right belongs to Luke.
Of course, Stuart can stop it, but it depends on whether he has the intention to stop it.
From the current point of view, Stuart's attitude is quite ambiguous. Neither Agilbert nor Luke can see what kind of position the young man in front of him is in.
"Snakewood will be activated when facing the real descendants of the Gunter family, and then a test will be activated."
Stuart's tone was still so gloomy.Rove guessed that it might be his calm expression.
"As long as you pass this test, you can get Slytherin's wand. Of course, this also means that Snakewood..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood what he meant.
Miranda's eyes were a little desperate at first, but somehow she felt something was wrong.
And Rove swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looking rather embarrassed.
Now the problem is coming, if the reward is taken away in advance, then...
………………
"Hello, little guy from the Gunter family, I'm Yin Suoer, and my mother is a member of the Gunter family."
A mild-looking, gentle lady who doesn't look too aggressive is sitting on a branch of the snake tree, looking at Luke below.
"I know very well that Slytherin's wand has always been one of the secret treasures of the Gaunt family. So in the second half of my life, I always feel guilty for my choices back then."
Regret was written all over her face.
"But I can't just give the wand back to the Gaunt family. Because I need it. And I can't go back to England. Because the Gaunt family is still looking for me, and even ready to kill me at any time." … "So I Nor would you just give them the wand back. So I created this test, and if you pass my test, you can get the wand back..."
Listening to Yin Suoer's gentle voice, Luke politely took out Slytherin's wand from his sleeve.
As a result, the expression on Yin Suo Seur's face became extremely wonderful, and all the words he was going to say were blocked in his throat.
This……
"Yin Suo... the ancestor? Forget it, let's call it first." Luke struggled with the title for a while, and then said calmly: "You have to understand that if we don't take this thing back, we don't want to take it back for the time being." Just come back."
Luke's words sounded crazy, and there was nothing wrong with that. Such an understatement of arrogance reminded Yin Suo of his aunt.This can explain to a certain extent that Luke is indeed a member of the Gunter family.After all, such arrogance is too characteristic.
But when such arrogance is paired with convincing evidence, it becomes extra confident.It also makes people lack the courage to refute and confront.
"You...have always been able to take this wand back?"
Yin Suo Seer still spoke in disbelief.Because it doesn't make sense at all, if you can really take it back so easily, then why...
"It can be said that it is us, or it can be said that it is not us. This is a special summoning technique that our team has mastered. It is normal for the other team to not know."
Luke offhandedly told another lie.How could Slytherin's wand be so easily planted with a summoning spell?
But if the facts are in front of you, even if you have doubts, you can't say anything.
"Then... there is no need for me to participate in your test."
Luke no longer set his sights on Yin Suoer, but looked at the snake wood, which was close to decay.
"Let me ask, is the snake wood itself a collection of free magic power absorbed by the Slytherin wand?"
Luke actually cared a lot.After all, he already felt that his snake transformation was the energy absorbed from this snake tree.But this also made him fall into another question.After all, compared with the magic power released by Snakewood now, compared with the magic power he used at that time, it is really the difference between the sea and the well.
How could the magical power accumulated by the snake wood for hundreds of years be exhausted because of Luke's several uses, and even affect its own vitality?
"Yes, most of the current magic power is stored in the wand in your hand."
Looking at the active wand in front of him in the memory of Yin Suo Seer, he said in a somewhat complicated tone: "I didn't wake up this wand to such an extent back then."
"Maybe we are more compatible." Luke put away his wand with a smile, and then asked Yin Suoer with a serious face, "Is there any way I can keep the snake wood? It has been regarded as Yin Fa The symbol of Mani. I don’t really care about it, the main reason is that if it withers after I arrive, maybe I will face unnecessary trouble.”
After hearing this, Yin Suo Seer shook his head helplessly: "It really has the demeanor of the Gunter family. This kind of attitude of only speaking from my own point of view is really familiar and annoying to me."… Luke didn't respond either, and it doesn't make any sense to respond to this kind of topic.After all, to him, it doesn't matter whether Yin Suoer hates it or not.Come here today to absorb all the remaining magic power of the snake wood, reducing the loss caused by crossing the ocean, which is already a big profit.It doesn't matter even if the group of people who really hated Infamony.
His fundamentals are not here, even if his cross-river dragon starts to make trouble, as long as he is sure that he can return safely, then there will be no problem at all.Unfortunately, with Dumbledore by his side, Luke really didn't worry about whether he would perish in America.
"If you want to make them less serious, then the absorption of magic is here."
Yin Suoer glanced at the snake-shaped magic barrier that had shrunk and said: "I will condense the remaining magic power into a living snakewood branch that can continue to grow."
"A new snake tree will grow on the withered body of the old snake tree. It will become another towering tree and become the representative of Infamorny."
Yin Suoer looked at Luke: "Just treat it as my request."
Luke lowered his head, bowed, and said politely to Yin Suoer: "As you wish."
Yin Suoer stood up on the branch, and then saluted Luke quite anciently.
Egilbert, who watched the scene in front of him, had an uncertain expression on his face.
In the eyes of others, this picture is full of poetic, even epic, but it makes him feel tired, accompanied by bursts of coldness.
The withering of Snakewood was a foregone conclusion, he was destined to be besieged by others, and he was about to be handed over to others before he took the position of the hot Principal Infalmoney.
He didn't know what the two people in the snake-shaped barrier were talking about, but he knew that now, if he didn't think of a way, he might really become a target.
"I think, Professor Dumbledore, your teaching makes sense."
Agilbert said flatly: "Maybe I really shouldn't just focus on the snake wood."
Dumbledore nodded, but there was no expression of relief.Instead, he took a meaningful look at Egilbert.He always felt that what Agilbert said did not match his original intention.
It's just that now he doesn't know what Agilbert means, so it's hard to give any more instructions.
"Very wise, Professor Agilbert."
Dumbledore said.
………………
The snake wood gradually withered, and Miranda's heart gradually became desperate.I knew that they really shouldn't believe what that guy Mo Lian said.If Luke Gunter is not brought in, maybe Shemu can hold on for a longer time, giving them some chances to find a solution.But now...
there is none left.nothing left.
"And a green branch."
Looking at the scene in front of him, Rove said with some doubts.Miranda hurriedly looked over, and sure enough, there was a thicker branch at a lower position. It was still green, even greener than before, and looked full of upgrades. ... After Miranda showed a shocked expression, Stuart raised his eyebrows, and there was hatred in his eyes, but he was quickly suppressed.
"Obviously, they left a 'seed'. In a sense, Luke Gunter fulfilled his promise to you. He kept the snakewood. Although it is a snakewood that takes a long time to grow. "
But obviously, this ending is enough to satisfy some people.
At least it won't make Agilbert face the greatest pressure.
This is a good thing.Although it can only be said to be a good thing that is not satisfactory.
........................
"Thank you for your efforts, Mr. Gunter, you have left a kindling for our snake wood, which means you have left a future worth looking forward to."
Agilbert held Luke's hand sincerely.He was really relieved.Again, in the current situation, at least he has some room to change, instead of being really forced to a corner.But even so, he had to face a daunting storm.
But at least it is not hopeless, and it is not necessary to make the worst choice.
"You don't have to have any feelings for me, Principal Agilbert." Luke looked frank, looking incredibly honest, "I've already taken back what belongs to me, and the tree that will be The bigger snake tree growing on the original body is the compensation I should make."
He didn't say clearly what he got back, but everyone knew what he was talking about.
After making some concessions with Egilbert, Luke looked at Stuart who was standing quietly aside, wondering what he was thinking.
"Mr. Stewart, what are you here for?"
When Stewart heard Luke calling his name, he raised his head, smiled and said, "Just call me Pat, Luke, no matter what others say, it can't change the blood connection between the two of us."
Luke narrowed his eyes and did not respond to this sentence.After all, the pit was dug very cleverly.Whether he admits it or not means choosing a side, so it's better not to make a sound.
"I think Lord Tripcard asked you to invite me to a banquet as a representative."
Luke changed the subject with a smile.
Pat Stewart didn't say anything else, he nodded and said: "Lord Tripcard should come by himself. After all, his subordinates were really rude yesterday. But he has to coordinate the banquet tonight, He prepared a grand dinner for you as an apology, and I happened to be here today to find President Egilbert on something, and when I learned that you would also come to visit Infalmorny today, I acted as the mouthpiece."
He said it with a smile, as if he was joking, but Luke really felt that Stuart might feel humiliated.
"No problem, I have no reason to refuse such a banquet. And it wasn't just Lord Tripcard's subordinates who were rude yesterday, I also lost my due etiquette. My lord sincerely apologizes."
Luke looks sincere but distant with a polite smile on his face.
Newt frowned as he watched the exchange between the two. He poked Dumbledore on the shoulder, and asked, "Will I have the same social pressure when I go back to England?"
With his social fear, if he went to some social occasions, it would be worse than death.But some invitations are just too hard to refuse.
Dumbledore shook his head, raised his hand and patted Newt's arm to comfort him:
"Don't worry, you won't be invited by such a top nobleman."
Newt doesn't always feel like good things to say.
"This also means that there are not so many rules and constraints, and it is not so irresistible. When you return to the UK, more people in the academic circle should invite you. I don't think you are too unsuited to such an environment. .”
Newt nodded in relief.
"Then tonight's banquet, are you going?"
"Of course, even if I don't want to go, Luke will definitely pull me there. After all, without me, he can't cause trouble wantonly. What's more... I also look like it, in the mouth of a group of British nobles , the luxury of the 'upstarts'."
He still remembers that when those guys mentioned the word luxury, they still had a bit of a sour taste after all. .
