Chapter 320 The First Generation Phoenix

Chapter 320 The First Generation Phoenix
At this moment, all the portraits of the previous principals who were napping suddenly seemed to wake up. They opened their sharp eyes and stared directly at Dumbledore. The entire principal's office fell into an eerie silence.

The golden item was a book, with at least two hundred pages in it from the thick appearance, but it looked very light and did not make people feel heavy.

McGonagall has seen this book.

That was many, many years ago, when the Grindelwald Rebellion had just begun to sweep through Europe. She had the chance to glimpse this book once. She thought that it was probably something Dumbledore would take out when he was in extremely serious trouble. Press the bottom of the box with your back hand.

The cover of the book is dark brown, and the underlying parchment on the cover has faded a little due to age, but the golden threads surrounding it still shine with a faint golden glow. In the center of the cover is a phoenix embroidered with gold thread.

Dumbledore's eyes no longer hesitated. He stretched out his hand to hold down the phoenix on the cover and whispered "Phoenix Summoning" in a low voice.

As the previous principal, Armando Dippet seemed to know a lot about this book. He asked with some confusion: "Dumbledore, wasn't this book the one you used to summon the Order of the Phoenix? Didn't you yesterday Have you seen them yet?"

"Yes, yes," Phineas Black said hurriedly: "Why don't you let my useless great-great-grandson do it for you if you need anything?"

Dumbledore didn't even raise his eyelids. He said softly: "What I summoned is not the Order of the Phoenix that you saw yesterday, but the first generation of the Order of the Phoenix!"

In the original book, the Order of the Phoenix was formed by Dumbledore in the 70s to fight against Voldemort's forces. Many of its members died in the First Wizarding War. However, in the world Schelling travels through, just like the Walpurgis Knights, the predecessors of the Death Eaters, the founding of the Order of the Phoenix can actually be traced back to a much older period.

Long before Dumbledore was born, there was actually a very mysterious academic circle in the wizarding world, in which academic leaders from all walks of life communicated. Due to its confidentiality and closed nature, its origin is unknown.

As for Dumbledore, when he was a student and stood out with various academic achievements, he was noticed by several big figures in the circle at the time, such as Nicol Flamel, the master of alchemy, and Alchemy, the founder of modern magic theory. Debbie Woughlin and the hard-core historian Bathilda Bagshot were also drawn into the circle.

After Dumbledore became famous, he also recruited talents of his choice from all over the world to join this circle, in order to support those younger generations with great potential.

You know, because it has not experienced the Industrial Revolution like the Muggle world, the wizarding world's financial system is still in the era of being linked to precious metals, so the currency circulating in the market is extremely limited. Those ambitious young wizards who want to conduct any research, start a business like the Weasley twins, or even carry out business innovation, all need a large number of network resources to obtain investment.

It can be said that these juniors who were recruited into Dumbledore's circle owed Dumbledore a great debt of gratitude, and Dumbledore also used this to expand his international influence.

This mysterious circle was originally just a place for academic exchanges and resource exchanges, but after Dumbledore's rise, as a generation of wise men who were resourceful and decisive, he was keenly aware of the power represented by this circle.

When Grindelwald started a war, the perceptive Dumbledore took advantage of the character weaknesses of several passionate wizards in the circle and dragged several well-known wizards in academia into the battlefield. Among them were authoritative experts in magical biology. Newt Scamander and Ilfamoni's Charms Professor Eulalie Hicks also brought in more powerful wizards because of their relationship, such as Newt's brother. Theseus Scamander, Director of the British Auror Office, Newt's lover, Bourbontina (Tina) Goldstein, Director of the American Auror Office...

"Is it necessary to do this?" Phineas Black said without much agreement: "Voldemort is very strong, but his die-hard supporters - the pure-blood families have declined so drastically in recent years. Could he alone be able to subvert the entire wizarding world?" A shrewd look flashed in Dumbledore's eyes, and he slowly said: "If it is just Voldemort, then there is really no need to spend so much time... The problem is... ..." Dumbledore coughed lightly, "The real situation now and what you see, maybe... it should be said that it is very likely to be very different..."

Although Phineas Black has been dead for a long time, his portraits are still active in many places, so he also has a good understanding of the current situation in the wizarding world.

He said: "You are referring to... Grindelwald? He is indeed a trouble, but after being imprisoned for so many years, his magic power should have declined significantly."

"It's not just him..." Dumbledore shook his head slightly, "Think about it, Grindelwald has been imprisoned for so many years, how did he escape... I can't tell the real situation, it's just a secret I have a hunch that things will develop far beyond my imagination!”

It has to be said that as a legendary wizard who has stepped into that legendary level, his premonition is very accurate.

A few hours passed.

McGonagall had left earlier to perform her duties as deputy headmaster - in the current situation, it is obvious that Dumbledore's main energy will be focused on fighting against the Death Eaters and the Alliance of Witches, and managing The entire responsibility of Hogwarts can only fall on her.

Following a bright firelight, several figures stepped out of the fireplace in the principal's office.

At a glance, Dumbledore saw that most of the characters who appeared were the same as he had expected - the Scamander brothers, the Goldstein sisters, Eulalie Hicks, Bendy Brodeck, Eu Sov Kama...Although they are no longer young, their eyes are still burning with fighting spirit——

The fighting spirit to uphold justice!
As these people just walked out of the fireplace, before they had time to say hello, another firelight lit up, and an old figure and two figures who looked like middle-aged men came out.

"Is it you?" Dumbledore looked slightly surprised, obviously unprepared for the appearance of these three people.

The leader of the old man snorted coldly and said, "What? Don't you welcome an old friend here?"

"How could it be?" Dumbledore showed a rare smile, "You are a rare guest! I haven't even had time to welcome you - Mr. Potter..." Dumbledore turned his eyes to the two male wizards behind him, "These two are..."

"My two useless sons - the eldest, Ren..." He pointed to the thinner one, "He retired from the Aurors after the First Wizarding War and is now an international bounty hunter, specializing in apprehending international He is a repeat offender. He has been entangled with Cobra in the Middle East for the past few years. It is normal that you have never heard of him..."

The author is still struggling with life, so he can only write one during the spring break.

I wish all readers a happy Year of the Dragon!
