Such life-saving items in critical moments are naturally something that the more the better.

He was pondering what other special power could be used to feed the golden tree.

Zicomo had also considered the runes in the game.

But the system told him that this thing was equivalent to the fruit of the golden tree.

It will produce naturally when it grows to a certain stage.

Therefore, the golden tree does not absorb anything at all.

"Oh, golden tree, golden tree. I wonder what else you eat."

"Wait! The tree!"

"System, could you materialize the Tree of Wisdom from Plants vs. Zombies into an energy cluster so that the Golden Tree can absorb it?"

The system had gotten used to its host's occasional wild imaginations.

Does it possess wisdom and energy?

"Representation."

[Successfully materialized, gained 1 unit of Pure Wisdom Energy]

Zicomo had already planted the Tree of Wisdom at the highest level in the game.

But this tree is actually just an Easter egg in the game and doesn't serve much purpose.

What's even more outrageous is that once it grows taller, you can't see the shape of its canopy anymore.

Zicomo had long disliked it.

Now it's time to put its remaining energy to good use and nourish the golden tree.

Zicomo threw the energy ball into the 'Zen Garden'.

This time, the golden tree has grown to a height of 10 meters, which is the highest point in this garden.

The garden's area has exceeded 10,000 square meters.

The flow rate of time has increased by 30 times.

A new drop of dew has condensed on the tree.

[Drops of Wisdom: Increases Spirit and Magic by 10 points upon use, and enhances the user's Comprehension. One drop condenses every 100 years; extraordinary wisdom is humanity's greatest treasure.]

Seeing the effects of Dettol, Zicomo took out a golden cup, threw the Dettol in, and drank it without hesitation.

He could feel that his mental strength had become stronger, and the range of his external detection had also greatly increased.

The magic also became more potent.

As for comprehension, I don't feel anything, probably because he already has extraordinary talent and his comprehension is already maxed out.

This gave him a much better chance of having a heart-to-heart talk with senior Tom.

Although Voldemort is currently in a remnant soul state, even due to the excessive fragmentation of his soul.

His mind was completely out of control.

But he was, after all, the second-generation Dark Lord, and he had a knack for surviving.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to sneak into Hogwarts.

Some might argue that Dumbledore already knew Voldemort was at Hogwarts.

But Zikomo doesn't think so.

If Dumbledore had known Voldemort was in the school, he would never have dared to let Harry attempt any challenges.

After all, Harry hasn't grown up yet.

One wrong move and you could lose your life.

Of course, he certainly had some doubts about Quirrell.

After all, Quirrell was once a student at Hogwarts.

Now his personality has changed drastically, and he has returned to the university to apply for a professorship.

There is definitely an ulterior motive.

That's why he created several obstacles to protect the magic stone, luring Quirrell into revealing his true intentions.

And guide Harry to participate in the challenges and gain experience from them.

Poor Quirrell, not only did he become Voldemort's tool, but he was also targeted by Dumbledore.

I'll have to be Harry's tool again.

Even worse, the Philosopher's Stone had already been taken by Zicomo.

It used up all its energy some time ago.

This means that even if Quirrell overcomes all the obstacles, he will never see the real Philosopher's Stone.

But from a certain perspective, Professor Quirrell is actually quite brave.

As Voldemort's subordinate, didn't he ever bother to learn about his master's glorious past?

Even Voldemort was unaware that he had cursed the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.

No one can stay in this position for a full year.

Even being able to escape unscathed would be a good thing.

If he had infiltrated Hogwarts in some other way, he might have survived.

Take Peter Pettigrew, for example. Look how comfortable he is now.

He eats and sleeps all day long, as if he really is a heartless mouse.

Chapter Thirty-Two: Christmas Eve Holiday, the Granger Family's Status

On the eve of Christmas Eve, Hogwarts was closed for the holidays.

The young wizards can choose to go home and spend Christmas with their parents, or they can choose to stay at school.

Both Zicomo and Hermione chose to go home.

The little witch hadn't seen her parents for several months and missed them terribly.

Zicomo originally wanted to stay at the school.

After all, there are fewer people on Christmas Eve, making it a good time to strike Voldemort.

But Hermione kept pestering him, insisting that he go back with her.

The Grangers also said in their letter that they insisted he come back for Christmas.

Zicomo had no choice but to agree, but he wasn't without a backup plan.

He released his avatar, which transformed into an owl using a mimicry veil.

They sneaked into the school's owl shed.

Seek opportunities and act when the time is right.

The two packed their luggage and went to the Great Hall of the College to say goodbye to Harry and Ron.

Ron was originally going home too.

As a result, his parents suddenly wrote to tell him.

The couple decided to visit his brother Charlie, the one who kept dragons, in Romania.

In other words, the parents left their son behind to go on vacation.

Although it was on the territory of another son.

So Ron had no choice but to stay here and spend Christmas with Harry.

Harry was overjoyed.

What could be happier than having a good brother to spend Christmas with?

"My goodness, aren't you guys tired of Wizard Chess yet?"

Hermione came in and saw Harry and Ron playing wizard chess.

Having played the 'Epider' game her cousin gave her, she now finds Wizard Chess both barbaric and boring.

What? You're saying fighting zombies is also barbaric?

Please, she's saving Dave's garden.

Moreover, the 'Aiped' can be used for more than just playing games.

She only needs to bring it to class now; she doesn't need to bring any other books.

You can even put notes on it.

"Otherwise, what do you expect us to do? We can't even get a whole team together for a snowball fight right now."

Ron stared at the Wizard's Chess with great interest.
