Wo Bu Geng Xin
According to common sense, the Saints organization should be gradually weakened.After all, although the person they admire is still alive, he is old and is still in prison, and his influence is gradually weakened by the efforts of all authorities. Today, there should not be many people who would worship a failure. or.
Therefore, it is normal for this organization to gradually decline in the long river of history, or slowly return to its original function, that is, to search for the Three Hallows of Death.
However, the current situation of the Saints organization is not consistent with common sense. Although it cannot be said to be completely contrary, it is indeed very different.
"A man at such an age has become a saint? What do you want?"
Luke didn't recognize the petrified boy in front of him.Doris wrapped her arms around Luke and tilted her head as she looked at the thin, pointed-nosed boy with light brown hair and some freckles on his face.
"Is Grindelwald's slogan really so attractive? After so many years, the saints have disappeared and they still have the ability to recruit new ones. It's really leisurely."
Luke had nothing nice to say and a look of confusion on his face.I can't figure it out. This kind of thing is really confusing.
However, even though he expressed his doubts, Luke had no intention of lifting the petrification of the boy in front of him.He just couldn't figure it out.Is the hatred of Muggles in the wizarding world still so deep?
In Luke's own perception, it was obviously much better.There are indeed some people in pure-blood families who still maintain their disdain for Muggles.But truly high-end families and well-informed families all know that it is no longer realistic to fall out with Muggles.
Among the emerging families, according to Luke's understanding, some even did business with Muggles and eventually completed the accumulation of the first pot of gold.After all, to put it bluntly, the wizarding world and the Muggle world are not completely separate and there are many places where they are connected.Every connection point can be regarded as a business opportunity.
Thinking of this, Luke determined that in the general environment or in general trends, the wizarding world's hostility towards Muggles, at least in the upper echelons of the wizarding world, should be increasingly weakened.Because not every wizard can stick his head in the sand.
"It's useless to say so much. You should be an exception."
Luke looked at the boy in front of him. He didn't know what happened to the boy.But these things didn't matter to Luke.
"Looks like you're in trouble."
The sound of the door being pushed open sounded first, followed by Dumbledore's voice.
After Dumbledore entered the room, he did not look at the petrified boy at first glance, but focused on the room itself.
"Tsk, every time I come here I can't help but feel that your room is different from other people's rooms. This is more luxurious than my room."
Faced with Dumbledore's emotion, Luke just shrugged: "I don't feel anything. It's not as good as my own bedroom anyway."
Dumbledore didn't know what to say for a moment... Yes, that makes sense. If you have to say it, the accommodation conditions here seem to be acceptable to Luke?
In fact, Luke certainly wouldn't be so cute.But based on common sense understanding, there is nothing wrong with this statement.
"The Saint finally took action directly against you personally?"
Dumbledore came closer and looked at the young man, his expression serious and a little sad.
This is his student.But at this moment, he looked at him with a look of fear and hatred.Such emotions are really a huge blow to a self-proclaimed educator.
"Maybe I did something wrong, kid. You're on the wrong track."
Dumbledore's tone was light but heavy with self-reproach.
The young man seemed to be touched by such a sincere gesture, his eyes were blank for a moment, and then became a little complicated.
"Don't think too much. A second-year student has never even attended your class. To be honest, you haven't taught students directly in how many years? You haven't proposed any new educational concepts. Can you please stop being old? What kind of educator are you?"
Luke mercilessly exposed the seemingly 'teacher-student' scene before him, and by the way knocked the 'educator' hat on Dumbledore's head.
Originally, he has not really taught any students for many years, nor has he made any great contributions to the promotion and reform of education. Such a person is called an 'educator', and how much of it is due to his strength It has reached the point where everyone has to recognize whatever he calls himself as long as it is innocuous?
Dumbledore glared at Luke, but Luke ignored him.
"To be honest, I never felt that people from the Saints would come to trouble me personally so directly. I thought it would be surveillance and exploration at most. I didn't expect you to come directly to my bedroom. This is a bit ungrateful. Or does your boss think I can’t arrange for someone to touch him?”
Luke slapped the young man's face, his tone was relaxed, but his eyes were already a little gloomy.
Luke rarely showed such a gesture, and Dumbledore remained silent.He has no control over this kind of thing.If you follow the 'castle law'.It was normal for this boy to be killed directly by Luke.
Although the muscles on the young man's face could not move, Luke could still read the four words "Death as Home" from his eyes.
So Luke simply pulled out his wand.Before taking action, he said to Dumbledore: "I plan to use Cruciatus to cut out the bones. If you are kind and don't want to see such a tragic situation, you can go out first. Wait until the screaming stops and then come in."
The boy's eyes were still firm, but Luke, who was used to capturing people's subtle emotions, still found a hint of panic and confusion.
"No! You can't do this! Luke!"
Dumbledore sternly stopped Luke: "Whether it's for yourself, this child, or order. You should not use the Unforgivable Curse."
The young man wanted to nod.After all, the name of the Unforgivable Curse is really scary.The young man really didn't want to put himself through such torture.
Luke curled his lips disdainfully, but his attitude relaxed obviously: "It seems that what you said makes sense. Then I don't have to dig out the bones."
Luke still raised his wand as he spoke.At this moment, the tip of the wand has turned into a red dot, like a lit cigarette butt.Dumbledore's eyes widened, and he planned to stop Luke's actions the moment he saw Luke's movements.But Luke was quick to strike.
The tip of the staff touched his chest.Neither the black cloak nor the wizard's robe acted as any hindrance. This thing came into close contact with the boy's body so easily.
The boy's face turned red instantly, and the only movable eye was filled with bloodshot eyes for an instant, even though he was petrified.But the body still trembled.His eyes almost rolled over.
Dumbledore looked at the tragic situation in front of him and closed his eyes unbearably.
After a while, Luke stopped and said with a sneer: "You are quite stubborn. You didn't say a word or shout. It seems that you do seem to be a qualified saint. Then this time …”
Luke flicked his wand, then pointed it in the direction of the boy's temple.
"No no no! Stop Luke! Stop!"
Dumbledore immediately stopped Luke.Luke shook off Dumbledore's hand dissatisfied.
"Professor! I never invited you here. Since you came here on your own, please don't stop me from doing things, okay?"
The tone of this speech was somewhat irritable. In the eyes of ordinary people, this was not just a matter of disrespecting teachers and disrespecting the elderly.It's hard to tell who is the big king.You know, the person standing in front of Luke now is the most powerful white wizard in the world.
"No, there must be at least a little bit of Luke." Dumbledore looked at the young man in front of him who was breathing heavily and had just come back to his senses. "If you want him to answer your question, maybe you should first let him Able to speak?"
………………
"How's the result?"
Dumbledore poured Luke a cup of tea in his office.Speaking of which, the tea here was not prepared by Dumbledore himself.Luke wasn't used to drinking those, and he was often invited over, or came over to drink tea himself, so he was responsible for the supply of black tea in Dumbledore's office, as well as other things.
In short, going to the principal's office was like going home to Luke.
"Not bad. At least after you left and I maintained a relatively friendly attitude, he was very cooperative."
Luke took a sip of tea, and then said softly: "In the end, he is just a child. No matter how firm he says, it is just admiration when his mind is immature. This state is not difficult to deal with."
"It's actually a bit cautious to sing Red and White Face together." Luke looked at Dumbledore, "But since this is your request, then I will act out a play with you."
Dumbledore nodded: "Thank you for your cooperation, and please forgive my selfishness. I really don't want a student who may still be saved to be 'violated' by 'more direct' detection methods."
Soul-stealing curses (souls leaving the body), veritaserum, direct torture, memory retrieval... each of them can directly obtain a large amount of information, but each of them is too cruel for a student.
Will he have any sequelae after such an encounter?Or have you simply lost some vision of the world?
Dumbledore didn't know, but he felt that this was not a good thing after all.
"As a professor, in some cases the work that Madam Pomfrey and I do is consistent." Dumbledore looked at Luke with a sincere tone, "We are both treating diseases and saving people."
Luke looked at Dumbledore's sincere eyes, then nodded and said: "At this time, I believe that you are indeed an educator. At least you have the heart of an educator."
"However, please understand that you are treating illnesses and saving lives, and so am I."
Dumbledore understood what 'the same' Luke meant.But he just nodded, neither agreeing nor denying.
"I'll see with my eyes."
"Then wait and see."
Luke did not receive direct approval from Dumbledore, but he did not feel any regrets. This result seemed to be very good for him.
"In short... the saints are now divided into two groups. One group is doing something under the banner of Grindelwald and his ideas. I guess the biggest purpose is to make money."
In the end, Luke did not waste too much time on the position issue, but talked to Dumbledore about the intelligence he had obtained.
"The other group is actually the people headed by the current leader of the Saints. They seem to be planning something. My guess is that they may want to welcome Slytherin back. However, I don't know them. What reasons will you use to convince Grindelwald?"
"After all..." Luke took a deep look at Dumbledore, "I don't know why Grindelwald would be willing to languish in that prison."
Dumbledore just shook his head in the face of Luke's gaze and said nothing.
Luke did not inquire further and just continued: "This child was sent by the former. The news they got is that there may be a resurrection stone around me, and if they want to use the Three Hallows of Death to convince Grindelwald... I I don’t believe that Grindelwald would choose to escape from prison because of this. The Three Deathly Hallows may have been his initial pursuit, but I think it is definitely not the case now.”
Both Dumbledore and Luke can easily collect the Three Deathly Hallows.But none of them were attracted by this thing.Therefore, it is unlikely that Grindelwald will be attracted to this thing.
"Unless Grindelwald holds some secret about the Three Deathly Hallows that we don't know about. Although I don't believe that this thing exists."
Luke took another sip of water, and then changed the subject: "Those 'fake saints' want to take the Resurrection Stone Ring from me first, and then they can take the initiative. At least this is their perception. .”
"That child is a saint who worships Grindelwald, but during the inquiry, I can basically confirm that this unlucky child has been deceived. He is actually working for the 'fake saint'. It's just that he has not yet Not aware of it.”
"So...a misunderstanding?"
Dumbledore was still more concerned about the child, but even he couldn't convince himself of this 'misunderstanding'.
"It's a trap. According to my intelligence, the other party should have other plans. The Three Sacred Artifacts are just a cover."
Luke shook his head: "But this child is definitely not innocent. You can't expect me to forgive someone who has subjective malice towards me. It's even more impossible for me to continue to be in the same school with this person."
"Wouldn't it be a good idea to just expel him?" Dumbledore's face was a little tangled. After all, he was still just a child, and he was only in the second grade this year.
"If you can ensure that you have time to look after him, I can take a step back. Or... next time I do it again, I can decide how to deal with it."
Luke gave another condition of his, and he would never forgive him again next time.
Dumbledore pondered for a moment: "I'll think about it again."
"It's up to you. I don't care."
After all, Luke didn't intend to really embarrass the child.If you admire Slytherin so much, then just go to Durmstrang to go to school.When the saint goes to that school, isn’t it just like going home?
"By the way... how long ago did you know this information? There is absolutely no way this child knows so much and so much detail. Why didn't you tell me before?"
Dumbledore asked as if he could finally hold it in no longer.
Luke tilted his head.
"You never asked."
Therefore, it is normal for this organization to gradually decline in the long river of history, or slowly return to its original function, that is, to search for the Three Hallows of Death.
