Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 277 Target Selection
Lao Fu stood there quietly with his eyes closed, and he sighed after a long while.When he opened his eyes again, the feeling of blood and cruelty in the red pupils became more intense.

"Teacher." Seeing this, Ike immediately bowed and bowed his head in a salute, but Lao Fu waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.

"You are..."

"It's okay, it's already working." Lao Fu said, holding a ball of green light in his left hand, which looked even more terrifying.

"You did a good job, Ike, but you didn't expect that there is not much essence left in the fruit of life."

"According to what you said, when you picked it off, the whole tree dried up, leaving only this one fruit, and right after you picked it off, the tree turned into fly ash."

"Do you know what this means?" Lao Fu touched the top of his bare head and asked.

"Sorry teacher, I don't know." Ike bowed his head and replied.

"This means that the reason why you can still see that tree is all because of this fruit." Lao Fu said with a smile, "Remember, nothing in this world is eternal, even the mythical The same is true of the life fruit."

"The tree has lived for so many years, and it has long been on the verge of death. I guess, its last essence has gathered into this fruit, which should have withered and died when the fruit was ripe. able to retain all the energy."

"It's a pity that after so many years, only you managed to find it."

"What you don't know is that precious magical plants like the fruit of life all have the same characteristic: once they leave the mother body that gave birth to them after they mature, they will start to lose the energy in them until they become the nutrients of the mother body."

"This fruit may faintly know this, and return its own energy little by little in order to survive. It has been many years, and it is good to have these left."

Lao Fu seemed to be in a good mood, he was smiling all the time, and by the way, he turned his bald head to reflect the light.

Hearing this, Ike also felt relieved, raised his head, showed a humble expression, and said, "Congratulations, teacher."

"Hey hey..." Lao Fu smiled, raised his leg and walked over to pat Ike on the shoulder.

"Now, I feel my body is full of strength, that damned old villager is no longer my opponent!"

"So teacher, now... do we want to change the plan?" Ike asked softly.

"Plan?" Lao Fu pondered for a moment, but still shook his head, "Let's proceed according to the original plan... What we need is a steady victory."

"However, we did not find any clues to the Elder Wand..."

"Don't worry, even though the poor guy didn't say anything until he died, I already have some clues about where the Elder Wand is..." Lao Fu interrupted Ike directly, "I'll take care of this matter myself ..."

"Now, we have a lot to do, and the burden on you is also heavy..."

"It is my honor to serve the teacher!" Hearing this, Ike immediately straightened his back, with a naturally determined expression on his face.

Seeing this, Lao Fu nodded secretly, patted Ike's shoulder twice, and said earnestly: "You are my most trusted student and my most capable assistant."

"So, there is no need to say such things in the future, I will keep them in my heart..."

"Teacher..." Ike's excited body trembled slightly, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Okay, okay, go, don't forget the task I just gave you, and teach those disgusting bugs a hard lesson..."

"I will, teacher!"

Lao Fu smiled happily, and then pushed Ike out. Before leaving, Ike still looked reluctant, and even wiped away the hot tears from his eyes quietly.

This was naturally noticed by Lao Fu, and when he left the basement, Lao Fu's iconic laughter still echoed behind him.

Ike closed the door and walked up the stairs.As soon as she stepped into the huge living room of the castle, she saw Bella sitting alone on a chair and bending her hair.

"Little master." Seeing Ike come in, she nodded slightly to say hello.Ike didn't care, and sat down on his own chair.

"It seems that you have already notified those guys?" Ike asked.

Bella nodded slightly.

"Very good... so, is there any news about the guys from the Order of the Phoenix?"

"Little master, you also know that those guys are like disgusting cockroaches, they run too fast, and they often disappear without a trace as soon as we receive the news..." She shrugged, "It's not easy to find them."

"Also, didn't Snape already say that their lair is the old house of the Black family. If you want, little master, you can go there directly."

"Heh!" Ike laughed when he heard the words, leaned back on the chair, and tilted his head back slightly, "If I remember correctly, you are also from the Black family, Lestrange?"

"Right." Bella replied.

"So, don't you know where you have lived since you were a child?"

"Little master, it's not that you don't know..." Bella showed a bit of embarrassment, "The loyalty curse is the best magic to keep secret. When the house is cast with this curse, except for those who are allowed, everyone else won't find any..."

"Even if that's the place I've lived in for more than ten years, I can't find it, and now there's only one name left in my mind."

"Ah, this is a bit difficult..." Ike scratched his hair, his tone full of helplessness, "Like this, to complete the task assigned by the teacher, it seems that we have to find another way."

"That's right, little master, otherwise I wouldn't have to wait for the master to get angry, I would have killed those disgusting bugs long ago!"

Ike was silent, and just leaned back on the chair, with a pensive look on his face.Seeing this, Bella chuckled a few times nervously, and then stopped.

She took out her wand and trimmed her nails.

After a while, Narcissa came in, and she couldn't help feeling puzzled when she saw such an appearance.Looking at Bella, Bella grinned silently, then pouted in Ike's direction, and Narcissa immediately understood.

He also lightened his steps, and quietly sat beside Bella.Bella threw down a magic spell casually, blocking the sound, and the two chatted directly.

"boom!"

Suddenly, Ike slapped the table in front of him fiercely, and stood up abruptly.Such a big movement naturally caught the attention of Bella and Narcissa.

Bella withdrew the magic, and asked directly: "Little master, have you thought of a way?"

"Of course!" Ike said cheerfully, "Since the problem now is that the guys from the Order of the Phoenix are running too fast, why don't we find a way that they can't run?"

The sarcasm on Bella's face flashed away, and there was a strong thirst for knowledge in her words.

"Little master, what is the solution?"

With a big smile on his face, Ike sat back slowly, scratching his somewhat messy hair.

"Recently, it should be almost time for Hogwarts to start, Bellatrix..."
