Chapter 275: Target Selection
Lao Fu quietly closed his eyes and stood in place for a long time before sighing. When I opened my eyes again, the feeling of bloody cruelty in my red pupils intensified.
"Teacher." Seeing this, Ike immediately bowed his head and saluted, but Lao Fu waved his hand to signal that he was okay.
"You're ......"
"It's okay, it's working." Lao Fu said, holding up a ball of green light in his left hand, which looked even more terrifying.
"You're doing a good job, Ike, but you didn't expect that there wasn't much essence left in the Life Fruit."
"According to you, when you plucked it, the whole tree withered, leaving only this one fruit, and when you plucked it, the tree turned to ashes."
"Do you know what that means?" Lao Fu touched the top of his bare head and asked.
"Sorry teacher, I don't know." Ike looked down and replied.
"It means that the reason why you can still see that tree is because of this fruit." Lao Fu smiled and said, "Remember, nothing in this world is eternal and unchanging, even the mythical life fruit. ”
"That tree has lived for so many years, and it is on the verge of death. I suspect that the last essence of it has gathered into this fruit, which should have withered and died directly when the fruit was ripe, and if it had been picked at that time, it would undoubtedly have been able to retain all its energy. ”
"It's a pity that after so many years, only you have managed to find it."
"What you don't know is that precious magical plants like the Life Fruit all have the same property: once they mature and leave the mother body that gave birth to them, they will begin to lose the energy in them until they become nutrients for the mother."
This fruit may know this faintly, and in order to steal life, it will return its energy little by little. It's been so many years, and it's good to have that left. ”
Lao Fu seemed to be in a good mood, and he kept smiling, and by the way, he reflected his smooth head.
Hearing this, Ike was also relieved, raised his head, showed a humble expression, and said, "Congratulations to the teacher." ”
"Hey, hey......" Old Fu smiled, raised his leg and walked over and patted Ike on the shoulder.
"Now, I feel like I'm full of power in my body, and that damn old villager is no match for me!"
"So, teacher, now...... Are we changing plans? Ike asked softly.
"Plan?" Lao Fu pondered for a moment, but still shook his head, "Let's go according to the original plan...... What we need is a solid victory. ”
"However, we have not found any clues to the Elder Wand......"
"Don't worry, although the poor creature didn't say anything until he died, I already have some clue about where the old wand is......" Old Fu directly interrupted Ike's words, "I'll take care of this matter myself......"
"Now, we have a lot to do, and you have a heavy burden on you......"
"It's my pleasure to serve a teacher!" Hearing this, Ike immediately straightened his back, and his face naturally showed a determined look.
Seeing this, Lao Fu nodded secretly, slapped his hand on Ike's shoulder twice, and said earnestly: "You are my most trusted student and my most powerful assistant. ”
"So, I don't have to say this kind of thing anymore, I remember it in my heart......"
"Teacher......" Ike's excited body trembled slightly, and tears appeared in his eyes.
"Alright, okay, go ahead, don't forget the task just given to you, and teach those disgusting bed bugs a hard lesson......"
"I will, Teacher!"
Lao Fu smiled happily, and then kicked Ike out, and when he left, Ike still looked reluctant, and even quietly wiped the tears in his eyes.
This was naturally seen by Lao Fu, and when he left the basement, Lao Fu's trademark laughter still echoed behind him.
Ike closed the door and walked up the stairs. As soon as he stepped into the large living room of the castle, he saw Bella sitting alone in a chair with her hair bent.
"Little master." Seeing Ike come in, she said hello with a slight bow. Ike didn't care, and sat down in his chair.
"Looks like you've already informed those guys?" Ike asked.
Bella nodded slightly.
"Very good...... So, is there any news from the folks at the Order of the Phoenix? ”
"Little master, you also know that those guys are like disgusting cockroaches, running too fast, and often as soon as we get the news, they run away without a trace......" she shrugged, "It's not easy to find them. ”
"Besides, didn't Snape already say that their lair is the old mansion of the Black family, and if you want to, the little master, you can go straight to it."
"Huh!" Ike laughed when he heard this, leaned back in his chair, and tilted his head back slightly, "If I'm not mistaken, you're also from the Black family, Lestrange?" ”
"That's right." Bella replied.
"So, you don't know where you've lived since you were a child?"
"Little master, you don't know it......" Bella showed a hint of embarrassment, "The Loyalty Spell is the best magic for secrecy, and when this spell is cast on that house, no one else will find it except for those who are allowed to do so......"
"Even if it was a place I'd lived in for more than a decade, I wouldn't have been able to find it, and I just had a name left in my head now."
"Ah, that's a bit difficult...... Ike grabbed his hair, and there was helplessness in his tone, "In this way, to complete the task assigned by the teacher, it seems that you have to find another way." ”
"Yes, little master, otherwise I wouldn't have waited for the master to get angry, I would have killed those disgusting bed bugs a long time ago!"
Ike was silent, leaning back in his chair, a pensive look on his face. Seeing this, Bella chuckled nervously a few times and stopped.
She took out a wand and trimmed her nails.
After a while, Narcissa came in, and when she saw such a look, she couldn't help but wonder. Looking at Bella, Bella grinned silently, and then nodded in Ike's direction, and Narcissa suddenly understood.
also relaxed his steps and sat down quietly next to Bella. Bella casually threw down a spell of magic and cut off the sound, and the two chatted directly.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, Ike slammed the table in front of him and stood up sharply. Such a big move naturally caught the attention of Bella and Narcissa.
Bella withdrew her magic and asked directly, "Little master, have you thought of a way?" ”
"Of course!" Ike said happily, "Since the problem now is that the Phoenix Society guys are running too fast, why don't we find a way for them to run?" ”
Bella's face flashed with mockery, and her words were full of curiosity.
"Little master, what's the solution?"
With a smile on his face, Ike slowly sat back down, scratching at his somewhat messy hair.
"Lately, it's almost time for Hogwarts to start, Bellatrix......"
