Chapter 168 Someone is Guarding the Gate

Wo Bu Geng Xin
Dumbledore took great interest in the so-called entrustment of Jace.
From a few words, he seems to have learned such a message.
"Luke's existence, in the eyes of the Gaunt family, has long been expected?"
Dumbledore sat alone in the rocking chair under the blooming wisteria, with a confused look on his face.
"Is it Jess Gaunt's ability to predict, or..."
Luke, this guy, was designed and cultivated by the Gunter family more than 600 years ago?
"It's fake... how is it possible."
Dumbledore's state of mind over 100 years old is also difficult to accept that someone can arrange things more than 600 years later.
"Unless the above two conditions are met. It can not only spy on the future, but also have the ability to design a plan with a time span of 600 years."
"Is this a man?"
Dumbledore couldn't believe it.Of course, he felt that if that brat knew that he had such a monstrous ancestor, his expression would not be very good.
After all, a child who has always felt that he is very smart, when he is proud and complacent, finds that everything about him may have been preset by one of his monstrous ancestors.
it will crack...
For some reason, Dumbledore suddenly looked forward to it.
Of course, the expression on his face was still very serious.When did he really see himself as an ordinary person?Such a person, even after more than 600 years, will still make people feel fascinated and inexplicable at the same time.
The ability to see through the future is not such a rare thing. Don't forget that one of Dumbledore's closest people is a true prophet.
Gellert Grindelwald, a man who can see through the mists of time and lays out intrigue is uncanny.
But even so, even with the addition of Dumbledore's inner beautification bonus, he didn't think Grindelwald could be compared with this guy who had never met, and it was best not to meet him.
Dumbledore was almost at home here, and felt very at ease, but whenever he closed his eyes and wanted to take a nap, he would suddenly panic and then open his eyes.After several times in a row, he shook his head helplessly.
Dumbledore turned and looked at the hut on the right, with complicated eyes.
In the room, Luke looked at the smiling Nicole Flamel and finally opened his mouth.
"Mr. LeMay, are you really planning to leave this world with Madame LeMay?"
Luke's question was also very straightforward, mainly because the previous roundabouts were avoided by the other party.Sometimes people are like this, they still won't give up after getting a hint with a clear meaning, until the other party directly rejects it, and there is not even the last bit of affection left.
The old couple Nico and Perenal looked at each other, and they both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
According to common sense, the two of them should indeed be responsible for the child in front of him who has no other elders around him.After all, the children were entrusted to them by their old friends back then.
Of course, who knows this entrustment, that is, nearly 600 years have passed.
"The two of us have traveled to famous mountains and rivers all over the world. We have seen many wizarding wars, and participated in the establishment of Beauxbatons, and we are barely full of peaches and plums. More than 600 years is too long, Luke ... to die was on our agenda 100 years ago."
"It's just that the whole world stirred up by Grindelwald and Dumbledore who appeared later became very interesting. Although it is also dangerous."
When talking about Grindelwald, Nicole Flamel's expression was considered calm.You can't expect an old man who was then and has lived for nearly 600 years to feel any fear of a wizarding movement where someone wants to enslave Muggles.Wizards are also humans, and the most common thing for humans is disputes.
Just trying to provoke a battle between wizards and Muggles.In the past few hundred years, there were still those who wanted to destroy the entire wizarding world, and even the entire world.
But even now, the wizarding world is still like this.
There are indeed changes, but the life of the bottom wizards is still changing.For the vicissitudes that Grindelwald and his saints stirred up in this world at that time, the simple word "interesting" is enough.
It's not surprising to see this kind of thing.
Then they waited decades before meeting the half-blood wizard who wanted to enslave other half-blood and Muggle wizards on the basis of pure-blood standards.They were quite excited at first, because this person might be the 'Luke' that Jace had told them about back then.But such self-deception did not last too long.
This may indeed be an ambitious man, but he is not a pureblood, so he can pass directly.
The idea of that Tom Riddle blood of the Gaunt family was boring.It's completely reversing the history, just kidding... Isn't this going back to the life of the two of them when they were young?
The nobles and the church control almost everything.
Such a life was not easy. If it weren't for the support of Jess, Niko really didn't even have the funds to conduct magic experiments.
"And after so many years, I still haven't studied the entire book thoroughly, and I've completely fallen into a bottleneck."
Speaking of this, Nicole Flamel wanted to make a self-deprecating expression, but because he hadn't seen such an expression for a long time, he seemed a little stiff.
"I also believe that the Philosopher's Stone is the limit of my research in the field of alchemy. Of course, I believe that this is also the limit of the entire world."
When Nicole Flamel said this, he did not hide the pride in his eyes.
His Philosopher's Stone is of course the pinnacle of alchemy in the entire world at present.Other alchemists can't even touch Nicole Flamel's leg hair, and this and the 'current' have been 'current' for nearly 600 years.
Speaking of this, Luke can see a trace of gray-black "unwillingness" from the "fate-resignation" paleness of the emotional dust.
And Luke basically understood why Nico and his wife had had enough.
In all fairness, a friend of Luke's previous life said that when he was Calvin, Calvin would feel an inexplicable sense of restlessness every day.As for Nicole's current research, it's not a matter of a day or two, but a year or two.It's a matter of 100, 200 years.
The most terrifying thing in a person's life is not not being able to see the way forward.Instead, I saw clearly that there was no way forward.
Now, Luke basically knows how to persuade.
"You two, have you ever visited the current Muggle world?"
Luke asked with a smile on his face.
And Nico also smiled and said to Luke: "Don't underestimate us, Luke, the two of us still have connections with the outside world."
The two of them are not really isolated from the world.Whether it is an alchemy experiment or daily life, something is always needed. Some of these things come from various markets in the wizarding world, and some come directly from the Muggle world.
And Luke shook his finger slightly when he heard the words, jumped off the sofa, and said to Flamel: "I mean, to have in-depth contact with Muggles, to have a deep understanding of their social forms, to understand their technological development."
"Did you know, Mr. Flamel, Muggles can also fly in the sky. And those vehicles that don't use magic are not as inefficient and useless as the Ministry of Magic and those newspapers deprecated in the newspapers."
"I agree with part of Grindelwald's point of view. I admit that wizards are indeed superior to Muggles in some aspects. But this does not mean that wizards who stand still are superior to Muggles in all aspects."
"Now they can also rely on various instruments to create miracles that even magic can't easily do."
Luke had a smile on his face, like a devil selling his own contract.
"Mr. Flamel, don't you feel that you are very similar to the wizarding world now?"
The smile on Nicole Flamel's face gradually disappeared.
He had contacts with Muggles, though superficial and simple.But if the entire wizarding world ranks a list of understanding of the Muggle world, then Nicole is still confident that he can be among the best.
But the kid in front of him... obviously knew Muggles better than him, and he knew it deeply.
Luke looked at Nicole Flamel's expression and knew that he was a little shaken.
'This ability, even if it is not deeply developed into magic, its own power is terrifying enough. '
This ability is extremely useful when persuading others.
"You are also caught in a predicament of development. The wizarding world has been unchanged for too long, so two people who want to change the order of this society will appear one after another. Although the latter one is not very up-to-date, he died before he left the UK. gone."
"It's the same for you. You can't find a way forward, and the ways you tried have all failed. It seems that there is no hope in sight."
[Recommended, Yeguo Reading and Chasing Books is really easy to use, download .yeguoyuedu here, everyone can try it quickly. 】
"So why not try the proposal I'm talking about? There might be some new path."
Luke smiled frankly and said: "I firmly believe that we will have to contact Muggles in the future. This is inevitable. And most of the fresh blood of wizards comes from the Muggle world. And the proportion is getting bigger and bigger."
"Believe me, Mr. Flamel, if you go to the Muggle world, I believe you will see something different."
Can Luke guarantee that Nicole Flamel will find a breakthrough after going to the Muggle world?There may be ghosts.He just said a possibility, so he didn't mention this matter, just explaining the novelty of the Muggle world.
Immediately it is not a lie. The Muggle world at this point in time is really changing with each passing day. If you go to see some things, maybe Nicole Flamel can also get all the impact, maybe he can get some inspiration.
Nico's expression changed continuously, but Perenal beside him looked indifferent.
If Niko chooses to die, then she is willing to accompany her.If Nicole chooses to see the new world according to what Luke said, she has no objection.
She was looking at Luke in front of her now, with a gentle and kind smile in her eyes.This look made Luke feel a little overwhelmed.He always felt that this look was for him, but not entirely for him.
Luke didn't talk either, he just sat back in his seat and left Nico to think.
But Nico didn't keep Luke waiting too long.
"You and Jess are really similar!" Nico looked at Luke and shook his head helplessly, "That's how he convinced me back then."
"Persuade me not to use the Philosopher's Stone to renew his life."
"And now, you use similar words to convince me to continue living."
Nicole Flamel showed a slightly bitter smile: "Maybe I really can't compare to Jess."
Perenal beside him heard this, smiled and took Nico into his arms.
Luke opened his mouth, but seeing the loving and happy expressions of the two old people, he always felt like his mouth was stuffed with something, shook his head, and then silently exited the room.
Dumbledore, who had been looking at the room, gave Luke a questioning look when he saw Luke.Luke gave him an ok gesture.
There was a hint of surprise on Dumbledore's face, but he restrained himself after a while.But still nodded to Luke.
Luke gave him a big smile.Then facing him, pinched the thumb and index finger together and stroked a few times.Dumbledore shook his head dumbfounded.
"Damn, why do I have such a tacit understanding with this kid..."
Dumbledore thought with a complicated expression after turning his head.
Is the last person who had such a tacit understanding with him doing well now?
Dumbledore looked up at the sky full of stars, and couldn't help feeling a little absent-minded.
"Back then, it was still too young."
So when he is old, he will not repeat the same mistakes.There is nothing wrong with trusting someone, but it is not okay to trust someone completely.
Luke looked at Dumbledore not far away, was silent for a long time, smiled, and shook his head.
What you say and what you think in your heart is not as real as your actions.
He is still relying on the old man in front of him. Although the two of them are using each other during this time in France, it is essentially a time of understanding and relying on each other.
There is still a long way to go.
……
"Where are you two going next?"
Nico looked at the old and young in front of him... Well, although they are all juniors.
Luke said helplessly: "We have to go back and have a look. To be honest, the two of us have been missing for a whole day. I can't even think about what's going on outside."
Luke is not a fool, he is well aware of the consequences of his disappearance, especially in front of Strange's family.
"Yes, you two should really think about how to explain it to the outside world. But remember not to reveal me."
Nico nodded earnestly, and said this with a worried face, while sending the two of them to the door.
As soon as they walked out of the door, Dumbledore and Luke froze for a moment.
"This iron sheet, your friend?"
Luke poked Dumbledore's waist eye and asked.
From a few words, he seems to have learned such a message.
"Luke's existence, in the eyes of the Gaunt family, has long been expected?"
Dumbledore sat alone in the rocking chair under the blooming wisteria, with a confused look on his face.
