Nian Gao Pei Ma Tuan
Old Ollivander barely hesitated for a moment and immediately spoke out to express his objection.This question seemed to sober him up a bit, and even dissipated the drunkenness in his eyes.
Although he had been mentally prepared, Glenn had long expected that his grandfather would not allow it so easily, but such a decisive reaction was still somewhat unexpected.
Seeing his grandfather's unquestionable expression, Glenn shrank helplessly and turned his eyes to Dearborn for help.
If you want to turn the situation around in this situation, I'm afraid you can only rely on his help.
"Cough cough..."
Dearborn cleared his throat, but did not say anything to Ollivander. Instead, he turned to look at Glenn.
"I think your grandfather did have his reasons for not allowing you to go to China..."
Glenn:? ? ?
We agreed to assist, but why did we rebel first?
Looking at Glenn's unbelievable question mark face, Dearborn shook his head inconspicuously, signaling him to calm down.
Seeing that he seemed confident, Glenn had no choice but to cooperate with him and continue to perform.
"But, this is really important to me..."
He pretended to be anxious and embarrassed, and said weakly.
"China is so far away, and we know nothing about everything there. If you just run there recklessly like this, no one knows whether you will encounter any dangerous situations." Dearborn quietly observed the old man. Ollivander's reaction continued, "Am I right, Garrick?"
"Yeah..." Old Ollivander nodded, a sad look flashed in his eyes, "If it weren't for your parents being injured during the trip to China, how could you have connected with just a few Death Eaters? Can’t even deal with it?”
Obviously, this is the main reason why he opposes Glenn's trip to China.
In his opinion, the death of Glenn's parents was inseparable from the previous trip to China.
"Yes. With the strength of Jean and Su, they should be much stronger than those of Dolohov." Dearborn also sighed with emotion, and then changed his tone and asked, "By the way, Glenn, why do you suddenly think of going to China? You know, although you are extremely talented, your strength is far from the level of your parents."
Glenn reacted immediately, understood what he meant, and said quickly: "That's it. After I cracked the seal of the sword fence ruins and returned to Hogwarts, Professor Dumbledore accidentally mentioned that he had recently reconnected with A former minister of the Chinese Ministry of Magic got in touch and talked about the events of that year, as well as some information about my mother’s magical bloodline. You were talking to Mr. Merlin at the time, so you didn’t hear it.”
"That's it." Dearborn nodded and glanced at old Ollivander quietly.
Glenn had just mentioned the idea of going to China, but his grandfather had rejected him without any chance to tell the specific situation.The old Ollivander knew nothing about the Chinese magic world. He only knew that his son and daughter-in-law lost their lives after returning from China, so he subconsciously believed that there were dangers there.
Dearborn also seemed to object, but this interruption gave Glenn the opportunity to introduce the specific situation.
Seeing the change in his grandfather's expression, Glenn struck while the iron was hot and continued without waiting for him to speak again: "According to Mr. Liu, the Chinese magic world is not as dangerous as we imagined. Ancient magic circles like the one my mother came from In the magic family, every family member will have an opportunity to participate in the bloodline awakening ceremony, which can not only improve their strength, but also activate some special ability."
These words did not come from Liu Tao's mouth, but a pie that Glenn drew bravely in order to get his grandfather's permission.
"There is such a magical thing." Dearborn pretended to be surprised and said in harmony, "But if it was just that simple, how could your parents be injured in the previous actions?"
Glenn quickly answered: "Mr. Liu also feels very sorry about my parents. Because they are unfamiliar with China and there is no one to guide them, my parents accidentally fell into a powerful magical beast while searching for their family. The creature's territory, although he barely escaped, he still suffered serious injuries. After completing the bloodline awakening ceremony, because my father was worried about the situation here and was in a hurry to return, he set out on the return journey with injuries, but he did not expect to encounter Death Eater Ambush..."
Obviously, what Glenn said was not the truth, but a lie he took the opportunity to make up.
"So that's it..." Dearborn sighed, "This is so regrettable!"
"So after Mr. Liu Tao learned of my existence, he specifically told Professor Dumbledore that if I wanted to participate in the awakening ceremony, I could tell him at any time and he would send someone to accompany me throughout the process until the ceremony was completed and safety was ensured. Come back again."
Dearborn turned sideways, found a corner where Old Ollivander could not see, gave Glenn a thumbs up, and continued to send assists: "If that's the case, I don't think there is any danger in this journey. , but it’s a good opportunity, don’t you think so, Garrick?”
Ollivander drank the last wine in his glass, looked sideways at the two of them, curled his lips and said, "Such an obvious cooperation, you don't think I can't see it, right?"
"What kind of cooperation? We..." Dearborn wanted to pretend to be stupid, but was interrupted directly.
"Although I'm a little drunk, I haven't lost my ability to judge." Ollivander said, "You agreed with me from the beginning just to give Glenn a chance to continue talking, right? ?”
"It turns out you have figured it out..." Glenn stopped pretending and said with a sneer, "I know it is almost impossible for you to allow me to go to China, so I asked Mr. Dearborn to help."
Grandfather looked directly into his eyes and suddenly asked solemnly: "Do you really want to go?"
Glenn was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and nodded vigorously.
"Yes, Grandpa, this journey is very important to me. Professor Dumbledore said that if I want to set off smoothly, I must get your permission."
"I know that the real situation cannot be as safe as you said." Ollivander slowly exhaled a breath and said, "But I need you to promise me to avoid putting yourself in danger as much as possible. In the situation.”
Dearborn on the side intervened again: "Regarding this, I believe Glenn should be able to do it. After all, he will still have the girl named Qiu Zhang with him!"
Although he had been mentally prepared, Glenn had long expected that his grandfather would not allow it so easily, but such a decisive reaction was still somewhat unexpected.
Seeing his grandfather's unquestionable expression, Glenn shrank helplessly and turned his eyes to Dearborn for help.
If you want to turn the situation around in this situation, I'm afraid you can only rely on his help.
