Chapter 331 The old fox who has no plans left
·
Nian Gao Pei Ma Tuan
Dumbledore lived up to his title of old fox, and he raised the question from such a tricky angle.
"I..."
Glenn was unprepared for such a question and was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted.
"No." He said without a trace of hesitation, "But when many dangers come, I have no chance to choose at all, and Qiu's safety cannot be guaranteed at all."
Dumbledore shrugged and added: "Of course, preventing you from putting yourself in danger is only one of the purposes. For Miss Qiu Zhang herself, there are good reasons to join this journey."
"What reason?" Glenn asked with a frown.
"As you know, she also has Eastern bloodline like you. Not surprisingly, her bloodline also contains huge untapped potential." Dumbledore replied with a smile.
Glenn raised his eyebrows and asked, "You mean, she also has some special abilities that haven't been activated yet?"
"Yes. I can confirm this." Dumbledore nodded slightly, "She has a restrained magical aura that is very similar to the one on your mother back then, with only a very slight difference."
Glenn still looked dubious.
Before he could raise any questions, Dumbledore said again: "In fact, I couldn't sense a similar aura in you. In this case, Miss Qiu Zhang's success rate in activating the bloodline is even higher than yours." Higher."
As soon as these words came out, Glenn blocked the question he was about to say.He thought for a long time before he thought of another reason to object.
"But I think whether Qiu will go to China with me or not, we should get his and her parents' permission."
In his opinion, with Qiu's considerate character, it shouldn't be difficult to prevent her from accepting Dumbledore's advice.Even if she couldn't stop her, she could have a good chat with her parents about the dangers of this journey, and she could even exaggerate it a little. Presumably Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang didn't want their daughter to be in danger.
However, things don't seem to be that simple.
"Of course." Dumbledore blinked and said with a smile, "You are right, we must first obtain the consent of her and her family."
The old fox agreed so happily, but Glenn felt something was wrong. It seemed that he could see some intriguing narrow-mindedness in this smile.
"In that case, why not let me talk to her about this matter?" Glenn said quickly.
Dumbledore smiled slightly again and said calmly: "That's not necessary."
No need?
Glenn's heart skipped a beat, and he had an ominous premonition.
"You shouldn't have..."
"That's right." Dumbledore said softly, suppressing his laughter. "In fact, while you were concentrating on dealing with the seal, I personally visited Miss Qiu Zhang's family."
He looked at Glenn, whose face was a little dark, and continued.
"They all expressed their approval for the journey to China. Especially Ms. Zhang's grandfather, he said that if it weren't for his age, he would even want to join you to see the country that has been away for decades. home."
No wonder Dumbledore looked confident from beginning to end. It turned out that he had made complete preparations long ago, and all his thoughts and reactions had been clearly understood by him.
Such exhaustive wisdom is truly frightening.
Merlin silently watched the two people's "intrigue" on the side and couldn't help but reveal a kind smile.
It feels like looking at two children.Although one of the "children" is an old man with white hair like him.
Although Glenn felt that he had been calculated and everything fell into Dumbledore's expectation, he was not angry.
If it were some unscrupulous savior, he would probably feel unhappy because his temper was revealed, but Glenn was different.He could see that although the old fox's operation was cunning, it was the best choice he made after carefully considering his own safety.
In fact, if Qiu was by his side, it would be enough to make him give up many risky choices.
However, although Glenn fully understood Dumbledore's good intentions, he still couldn't help but muttered something sinister.
"Since you have already arranged everything clearly, what else can I say?"
After all, this feeling of being seen through from the inside out would inevitably be a bit unpleasant for anyone.
Dumbledore didn't care about the complaints in his tone. He straightened his expression and continued: "Next, there is one last request."
"Speak, I'm listening."
Glenn had completely lied down and no longer tried to guess Dumbledore's thoughts. Anyway, no matter what the old fox said, the starting point was for his own safety.
"This is the most important of the three requirements." Dumbledore said slowly, "I need you to promise me that when faced with all possible dangers, your first choice must be to stay away from the crisis and protect yourself. Myself and Miss Qiu Zhang.”
His expression was solemn and his tone was somewhat unquestionable.
Seeing the deep concern in his eyes, Glenn nodded vigorously and said, "I promise you, if I encounter danger, I will take Qiu and leave quickly, no matter how huge the temptation is hidden behind the danger. ."M..
Hearing the firmness in his voice, Dumbledore looked relieved.He understood Glenn's character, and such firmness meant that this was indeed his true thought, not just perfunctory.
If he was going on this journey alone, perhaps such a guarantee would not mean much. Only with concern could he stay away from danger from the bottom of his heart.
This is why Dumbledore went to such great lengths to get Qiu to accompany him.
"By the way, Professor." Glenn asked again, "When do we leave?"
"There is no rush to set off, I still need to make some preparations." Dumbledore explained. "I tried to contact an old friend, hoping they can provide you with some help."
"Your old friend?" Glenn asked in confusion.
He really didn't know that Dumbledore actually had connections with the Chinese magic world.
"Tao Liu, a powerful wizard, once served as the minister of the Ministry of Magic in China decades ago. He was also one of the candidates in the election ceremony for the president of the International Federation of Wizards when Qilin appeared."
Dumbledore introduced.
"But it's a pity that Qilin didn't choose him in the end."
"I..."
Glenn was unprepared for such a question and was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted.
"No." He said without a trace of hesitation, "But when many dangers come, I have no chance to choose at all, and Qiu's safety cannot be guaranteed at all."
