After returning Harry's wand to him, Fudge led the Aurors away.

As for the ruins here, other departments will naturally clean them up later.

The companies that produce family tents will likely make a fortune, since the Death Eaters burned down a large number of family tents here.

Of course, Fudge didn't forget to take Barty with him when he left.

He decided to leave Barty Jr. to Crouch Sr. to handle himself.

It just so happens that old Crouch is the director of the International Department of Magical Cooperation, so the diplomatic issues of this incident can also be handed over to him.

If wizards from other countries are attacked on British soil, the British Ministry of Magic will certainly have to give an explanation to the foreign ministry and prepare someone to take responsibility.

Of course, Fudge couldn't be the one to take responsibility.

His reputation has plummeted since the Ministry of Magic and Gringotts were robbed two months ago.

If he takes responsibility for this attack, he'll probably lose his position as Minister of Magic.

So Fudge decided to leave the matter to old Crouch.

If things go well, capturing the Death Eaters who attacked the wizarding camp would be a good thing. As Minister of Magic, he could also share in the credit.

If things don't go well, Crouch will become the scapegoat, and Fudge will be able to both clear his name and take this opportunity to remove Crouch from office and replace him with his own people in the International Magical Cooperation Department.

Leaving aside Fudge's thoughts, let's turn our attention back to Harry's side.

After Fudge left, Harry thanked Snape, saying, "Thank you, Professor Snape."

Harry was still very touched to know that Snape had been watching over him while he was unconscious.

Snape waved his hand and said, "It was just a coincidence. If Zicomo hadn't asked me to return this cloak to you, I wouldn't be here."

With that, Snape handed the Invisibility Cloak to Harry.

Why choose today to return the cloak when there are other options?

Harry also remembered that Snape wasn't very interested in Quidditch matches; when he was at school, he wouldn't attend unless it was a Slytherin match.

How could someone like that possibly appear at the Quidditch World Cup?

While Fudge and Snape were talking, Harry was communicating with Lily in his mind using a method unique to ghost companions.

He had already learned from his mother what had happened after he fell into a coma.

Harry learned that Snape appeared immediately after he fell unconscious. Clearly, Snape had been secretly observing him all along.

This reminded Harry of his first year, when Snape, despite his harsh words, secretly protected him in the same way.

At that time, he misunderstood Snape's behavior and thought Snape was a bad person.

Harry took the Invisibility Cloak without saying anything more, but silently kept it in mind.

At this moment, Arthur returned here with Ron.

In fact, Arthur wanted to come back to find Harry as soon as he realized he had lost him.

However, he also needed to ensure the safety of his children, so he made sure they were safe before returning to the area.

Ron, worried about Harry, followed along.

"Harry! Are you alright?"

Ron ran up to Harry and asked with concern.

“I’m fine,” Harry replied.

Arthur, who had noticed Snape's presence, asked, "Snape, what are you doing here?"

"You can ask Potter for details. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

After saying that, Snape Apparated away from there.

He couldn't be bothered to repeat what he had just said; he'd rather spend that time with his wife and kids.

Seeing Snape leave, Arthur turned to Harry and asked, "Harry, what just happened here? Why was Snape here?"

Harry recounted the events that occurred after he became separated from the Weasleys.

Harry then complained, "With such a large wizarding camp, didn't the Ministry of Magic consider security issues at all?"

He had just seen that Fudge was surrounded by more Aurors than he had seen Death Eaters.

If even a few soldiers had stayed behind to guard the camp, it wouldn't have burned to this state. It completely ruined his good mood after watching the Quidditch World Cup.

Seeing the lingering dark magic mark in the sky, the scar on his head still throbbed with pain.

“In fact, the Ministry of Magic had personnel patrolling the camp. But even so, the attack still happened right under their noses,” Arthur said helplessly. “To be precise, they were also attacked by Death Eaters.”

The Ministry of Magic staff assigned to patrol the wizarding camp were all wiped out and carried to St. Mungo's Asylum of Magical Injuries. The Death Eaters were a group of utterly unscrupulous people.

Upon hearing this, Harry was about to say something when another sharp pain shot through the scar on his forehead.

When Arthur saw Harry clutching his head, he assumed that the previous impact had left Harry with some kind of aftereffect.

"Are you alright, Harry?" Arthur asked.

“It’s nothing, just a bit of a headache,” Harry replied.

"If anything happens, remember to say it."

After saying that, Arthur was still a little worried, so he decided to take Harry back to check on him.

"Alright, let's get out of here quickly."

The campsite was now a mess, with wisps of smoke carrying the smell of burning that blew in from time to time. There was no point in staying there any longer.

As for their luggage, it was mostly burned to ashes. Fortunately, their original plan was only to stay here for one night, so only a few sets of clothes were burned, and there was nothing valuable.

The only valuable thing, the family tent, was borrowed by Arthur from the Ministry of Magic.

Harry left with Arthur, intending to ask Sirius Black why the scar on his head was still throbbing when they got back.

If he doesn't get an answer, he plans to ask Zicomo.

If you count the time, it's already the end of August, and Zicomo will be back soon.

Harry hadn't expected that Chicomo's summer vacation would last two months. He even missed the days he used to play pool with Draco at Chicomo's house.

So what was Zicomo doing at this time?

Zicomo had just gotten up.

He stayed at the Phoenix Clan's blessed land last night and even invited the Phoenix Clan's patriarch, Huang Xi, to his tent.

Don't get me wrong, we weren't playing any games like "Dengdua Lang," we were just playing board games.

And they were playing an Eastern board game—Mahjong.

Zicomo bought this while traveling. He hadn't been around for several years and had almost forgotten about this national treasure from the ancient East.

The women also found the rules of mahjong interesting, but Zicomo wasn't very friendly to them, the beginners.

So in the end, they simply left the veteran Zicomo aside and the four newbies sat at one table.

Zicomo had no choice but to go to sleep alone.

When he woke up in the morning, he found that they were still playing.

None of the four women were ordinary people. Even Hermione, the weakest of them all, could stay awake for several days thanks to her physical abilities, so they were still full of energy after fighting all night.

Seeing this scene, Zicomo shook his head helplessly; he probably shouldn't have taken this thing out.

Mahjong is fun, but it's also easy to get hooked. Sometimes you can play all night long.

Zicomo stepped forward and interrupted the four girls who were still eager to start another round, saying, "Alright, you've been playing all night. Let's play again next time."

The four women were then surprised to realize that a whole night had already passed.

After a quick wash and breakfast prepared by Zikomo, Huang Xi led Zikomo and the others to the Fusang tree in the blessed land.

The Han Dynasty text "Records of the Ten Continents Within the Seas" states: "Fusang is located in the blue sea. The land is full of forests, and the leaves are all like mulberry leaves. The trees are thousands of feet long and more than two thousand feet in circumference. The trees grow in pairs from the same root and lean on each other, hence the name Fusang."

It is said that hibiscus trees grow in the blue sea, and the tallest of them are thousands of feet high.

During the Han Dynasty, one zhang was approximately equal to more than two meters, meaning that the Fusang tree could grow to several thousand or even more than ten thousand meters tall.

The world's highest peak is only a little over 8,000 meters. I really don't know where these places described in ancient myths are. To be honest, I really want to see that kind of scene with towering trees.

Although the hibiscus in front of him was not as tall as described in ancient books, Zicomo estimated that it was at least over a thousand meters tall and had a diameter that would require nearly a hundred people to encircle.

They were standing at the foot of the tree and couldn't see the top at all.

Upon arriving here, Huang Xi transformed back into her phoenix form and flew upwards with Qi Kemo and the others.

The hibiscus tree has a unique shape; it is composed of two large hibiscus trees that support each other.

The two large mulberry trees intertwined from the roots up, and then spread out in different directions at the middle height, which is around waist level.

Therefore, a relatively spacious and flat platform will be formed at this location. This is the best location in the entire Fusang Tree, and the patriarch of the Three-Legged Golden Crow usually resides in this place.

This is the place that Huang Xi is bringing Qi Kemo and the others to.

Once he arrived here, Zicomo looked around at his surroundings.
