Destruction is rebirth.

"What the hell happened!"
Miranda rubbed her chest and looked at the young man not far away, her face full of incomprehension.
She could see those faint snake scales, but she didn't understand what they were. She couldn't figure out what was going on with this magic power that was so huge that it could be synonymous with terror.
"Because Snakewood is awakened."
A somewhat cold voice sounded in Miranda's ears.
Miranda and Rove both looked in that direction. There was some vigilance on Luofu's face. And when Miranda saw the other party, the expression on her face was even more embarrassing.
"Mr. Stewart."
Miranda bowed and saluted the gloomy-looking young man.
The young man ignored Miranda. He glanced at Rolf on the side, and then said: "I told you before, nothing may happen if you call the Gaunt family here. You can wait a moment, Wait until I find out whether it will help Snakewood recover. But you still acted without waiting for my reply."
Miranda's expression was somewhat awkward. Putting aside everything else, judging from He's current situation, what Stewart said at that time might actually make some sense.
But this does not mean that Stewart did not have other thoughts at the time. After all, Luke's arrival, as long as he really wants it, then that right belongs to Luke.
Of course Stewart can stop it, but it depends on whether he has the intention to stop it.
From the current point of view, Stewart's attitude is quite ambiguous. Neither Gilbert nor Luke can see what the position of the young man in front of him is.
"Snakewood will be activated when facing the real descendant of the Gunter family, and then a test will be activated."
Stewart's tone was still so gloomy. Luofu guessed that it might be his expression of calmness.
"As long as you pass this test, you can get the Slytherin wand. Of course, this also means that Snakewood..."
He didn't finish his words, but everyone understood what he meant.
Miranda's eyes looked a little desperate at first, but she felt something was wrong for some reason.
Luo Fu swallowed his saliva and looked quite embarrassed.
Now the problem comes, if the reward is taken away early, then...
………………
"Hello, little guy from the Gaunt family, I am Yinso Seer, and my mother is a member of the Gaunt family."
A gentle lady with a soft appearance and a non-aggressive look was sitting on a branch of a 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 felt guilty for the choices I made back then."
Regret was written all over her face.
"But I can't hand the wand back to the Gaunt family directly. Because I need it. And I can't return to the UK. Because the Gaunt family is still looking for me and is even ready to kill me at any time."
"So I will not directly return the wand to them. So I created this test. As long as you can pass my test, you can get this wand back..."
Luke listened to Yinsou Ther's gentle voice and politely took out the Slytherin wand from his sleeve.
As a result, the expression on Yin Suo Seer's face became extremely exciting, and the words he originally planned to say were blocked in his throat.
this……
"Yin Suo... Ancestor? Forget it, let's call it this first." Luke struggled with this title for a while, and then said calmly: "You have to understand that if we don't take this thing back, it's because we don't want to take it back for the time being. Just coming back.”
Luke's words sounded crazy, and the arrogance of such an understatement reminded Yin Suo of his aunt. This shows to a certain extent that Luke is indeed a member of the Gaunt family. After all, such arrogance is so unique.
But when such arrogance is paired with convincing evidence, it becomes particularly 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 said in disbelief. Because this makes no sense at all. If it was really possible to take it back so easily, then why...
"You can say it's us, you can say it's not us. This is a special summoning technique that our team has mastered. It's normal that the other team doesn't know about it."
Luke casually 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 focused on Yin Suo Seer, but looked at the snake wood, which was close to decay.
"Let me ask, is the snakewood itself the aggregation of free magic power absorbed by the Slytherin wand?"
Luke actually cared a lot. After all, he had already felt that his snake transformation was due to the energy absorbed from this snake tree. But this also made him fall into another question. After all, the magic power released by Snake Wood now, compared with the magic power he used at that time, is really the difference between the sea and the well.
How could the snakewood have accumulated hundreds of years of magical power, so how could it be so consumed by Luke's few uses, and even affect its own vitality?
"Yes, most of the magic power now is stored in the wand in your hand."
Yin Suo Seer's memory looked at the active wand in front of him, and said with a somewhat complicated tone: "I did not revive this wand to such an extent back then."
"Maybe we are more in tune with each other." Luke smiled and put away his wand, and then asked Yinsuo Seer with a serious face, "Is there any way I can save the snake wood? It has been regarded as Yinfa The symbol of Moni. I don’t really care about this, mainly because if it withers after I arrive, I might face some unnecessary trouble.”
After hearing this, Yin Suo Seer shook his head helplessly: "You really have the style of the Gaunt family. This attitude of only speaking from your own perspective is really familiar and annoying to me."
Luke didn't respond either. It would be meaningless to respond to such a topic. After all, it doesn't matter whether Yoon So Seol hates him or not. Come here today to absorb all the remaining magic power of the snake tree and reduce the losses caused by traveling across the ocean. It is already a big profit. Even if the group of people who really hated Yin Famouni didn't matter.
His basic base is not here. Even if he, the dragon crossing the river, starts to make trouble, as long as he is sure that he can return safely, there will be no problem at all. Unfortunately, with Dumbledore by his side, Luke really didn't worry about whether he would die in the United States.
"If you want them to be less serious, then the absorption of magic power ends here."
Yin Suo Seer glanced at the snake-shaped magic barrier that had almost shrunk and said: "I condensed the remaining magic power into a living snake tree branch that can continue to grow."
"A new snake tree will grow on the decayed body of the old snake tree. It will become another towering tree and become the representative of Yin Fa Mo Ni."
Yin Suo Seer looked at Luke: "Consider it my request."
Luke lowered his head, bowed, and said politely to Yin Suo Seer: "As you wish."
Yin Suo Seer stood up on the branch, and then gave Luke a rather ancient salute.
Ai Gilbert looked at the scene in front of him with a gloomy expression on his face.
In the eyes of others, this picture was full of poetry and even epicness, but it made him feel tired, accompanied by waves of coldness.
The withering of Snakewood is a foregone conclusion, and he is destined to be besieged. He has not yet been able to take the position of principal Yin Falamoni, who is so hot, but he will give it to others like this.
He didn't know what the two people in the snake-shaped barrier were talking about, but he knew that if he didn't think of a solution now, he might really become a target.
"I think, Professor Dumbledore, your teaching makes sense."
Gilbert said in a calm tone: "Maybe I really shouldn't just focus on the snake wood."
Dumbledore nodded, but there was no look of relief. Instead, he glanced at Ai Gilbert with deep meaning. He always felt that what Gilbert said was not in line with his original intention.
But now he doesn't know what Ai Gilbert means, so he can't give any more instructions.
"Very wise, Professor Gilbert."
Dumbledore said.
………………
The snakewood gradually withered, and Miranda's heart gradually became desperate. If I had known that they really shouldn't have believed what that guy Morian said. If Luke Gunter had not been brought in, maybe Snakewood could have persisted longer, giving them some opportunities to find a solution. But now...
there is none left. nothing left.
"And a green branch."
Luofu looked at the scene in front of him and said with some doubts. Miranda quickly looked over, and sure enough, there was a thicker branch lower down. It was still green, even greener than before, and it looked full of upgrades.
After Miranda showed a shocked expression, Stewart raised his eyebrows, with hatred in his eyes, but he was quickly restrained.
"Apparently, they left the 'seed'. In a sense, Luke Gunter fulfilled his promise to you. He preserved the snakewood. Although this is a snakewood that takes a long time to grow. "
But obviously, this ending is enough to satisfy some people.
At the very least, it would not put Ai Gilbert under 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 left a fire for our snakewood, which means you left a future worth looking forward to."
Gilbert held Luke's hand sincerely. He was really relieved. Again, in this situation, he at least has some room for change, instead of being really forced into a dead end. But even so, he had to face a daunting storm.
But at least it's not hopeless, and it's not necessary to make the worst choice.
"You don't have to have any feelings for me, Principal Albert." Luke looked frank, looking incredibly honest, "I have taken back what belongs to me, and the tree that will The snake tree growing bigger on the original body is the compensation I should make."
He didn't say exactly what he got back, but everyone knew what he was talking about.
After giving in to Gilbert, Luke looked at Stewart 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, showed a smile 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 hole was dug very cleverly. Whether he admits it or not means choosing a side, so it is better to remain silent.
"I think Lord Tripcard asked you to invite me to a banquet as a representative."
Luke changed the subject and said with a smile.
Pat Stewart didn't say anything else. He nodded and said, "Mr. Tripcard should come by himself. After all, his subordinates were really rude yesterday. But he has to coordinate tonight's banquet. He prepared a grand dinner for you as an apology. It just so happened that I came to see Principal Albert today for something. When I learned that you were also coming to visit Yinfamouni today, I became the mouthpiece."
He said it with a smile, as if he was joking, but Luke really felt that Stewart just felt humiliated.
"No problem, I have no reason to refuse such a banquet. Moreover, it was not just Mr. Tripcard's subordinates who were rude yesterday. I also lost my due etiquette. I will also meet Tripcard tonight. Your Excellency sincerely apologizes."
Luke had a polite smile on his face, looking sincere but distant.
Newt frowned as he watched the exchange between the two people. He poked Dumbledore on the shoulder and asked, "When I return to England, will I also have such social pressure?"
With a social fear like his, if he went to some social occasions, it would be worse than death. But some invitations are just too good 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 noble."
Newt never felt like saying anything nice.
"This also means that there are not so many rules and constraints, and it is not so unacceptable. If you return to the UK, more people from academia will invite you. I don't think you will be too uncomfortable with such an environment. .”
Newt nodded as if relieved.
"Then are you going to the banquet tonight?"
"Of course, even if I don't want to go, Luke will definitely drag me there. After all, without me here, he can't cause trouble as much as he wants. What's more... I also like it. Look, among the British nobles , the luxury of the 'nouveau riche'."
He still remembers that when those guys mentioned the word luxury, they still had a bit of a sour flavor.
