Chapter 522 Corner

Wo Bu Geng Xin
Luke did think about finding himself a strong enough opponent, just like letting Voldemort resurrect.He always needs to let others understand his bad ideas before he can sell his good ideas.
If people are not disappointed with the current order, how can anyone be willing to support his order?
So Luke is still willing to create some difficulties for himself.
However, Luke still understands that the meal must be eaten one bite at a time and the road must be walked step by step.It's not common sense to suddenly arrange a big boss for yourself.
"I still have questions, Professor..."
Luke put down the teapot in his hand, looked at the old man in front of him, and asked with a puzzled face: "Other people don't know, but I know very well that even if Grindelwald is old and dying now, Nurmengard is There is still no way he can stop him. To put it bluntly, burning the entire Nurmengard and then escaping from prison would not surprise me at all."
"We all know that what kept Grindelwald in Nurmengard was never about trials and crimes, let alone an impenetrable tower or an airtight defense. It was you... who could restrain him. The only person responsible for Grindelwald's actions is you."
"So, can you tell me now why the old man who should have wanted to die suddenly jumped out of the coffin he had prepared?"
Dumbledore sat on the chair prepared by Luke, frowning, and squeezed out the word "Chuan" on his forehead.
After Luke finished speaking, he stopped urging.There's no point in urging.Just like Dumbledore wouldn't force him to tell him something he didn't want to say, he would have no choice but to accept it if Dumbledore had something to hide.
This is the first criterion for two people to trust each other.
After all, both of them are people full of secrets, and neither of them is willing to reveal their secrets to others. They both have a bit of Riddler potential.If you expect these two people to open up to everything, you might as well expect to have a holiday on New Year's Eve.
This kind of statement is not as credible as the head of the song and dance troupe under the big boss who only has a working relationship with the big boss.
"Maybe... it's because I don't want to die?"
Dumbledore looked at Luke and spoke with a somewhat uncertain tone.His words made Luke stunned for a moment.If he remembered correctly...the person who made Dumbledore sober that he didn't want to die...
"Me, you tricked me?"
Luke pointed to his nose and confirmed to Dumbledore again.
Dumbledore looked a little hesitant, but finally shook his head: "I can't say for sure, but this is indeed the highest possibility."
Luke felt that he really had a headache. He originally thought that making Dumbledore interested in life and life would be more or less a good thing.After he came to this world, he did a lot of good things for himself.Not many good things come to others.Regarding Dumbledore, you may think that he has done a good thing.But who would have thought that it would actually bring trouble to themselves.
But after struggling for a moment, Luke also shook his head: "This matter is not my problem. The fact that I gave you hope of living is beneficial to me, and I don't think I am wrong. And to say that I am wrong is also It’s just that I misjudged the reactions of the Saints and Grindelwald.”
Saving people shouldn't be wrong.Even causing trouble for yourself cannot change the nature of the matter.
What's more, Luke chose this matter himself, and he certainly wouldn't blame his past self too much.
"In short, our trouble is no longer Voldemort. I will get rid of Tom as quickly as possible. Then we will have to deal with a healthy, young and strong Gellert Grindelwald."
With that said, Luke looked at Dumbledore in front of him and asked curiously: "Professor, you said that if you commit suicide now, Grindelwald will..."
"No, things have reached this point. No matter what I do, it will not make him back down."
Dumbledore glared at Luke with some sadness and contempt.Although he still believes that he has enough weight in Grindelwald's heart, but also because of his understanding of Grindelwald, he knows that when Grindelwald chooses to leave, no matter what he does, Grindelwald will not let Grindelwald DeVoe chose death again.
Luke shrugged. In fact, this was just a joke.It was impossible for him to eliminate his biggest help just because of the appearance of an enemy.After all... what makes him worse than Grindelwald?Luke has always been very confident about himself.
"Then are you interested in trying immortality?"
Luke looked at Dumbledore and once again made a proposal that Dumbledore was deeply surprised by.
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
Dumbledore looked at Luke seriously. He wanted to read emotions such as temptation, distrust and vigilance from Luke's face.Unfortunately, he himself knew very well that even if he could read something, it might not be true.Luke has always practiced Occlumency very well.It is now unlikely that Dumbledore would probe Luke's brain while he was awake.And if you just observe emotions, it’s best to only believe [-]% of the emotions you can see on Luke’s face.
After all, for a wizard whose talent is emotional control and transforms magic talent into talent magic, observing his emotions is a bit beyond the scope of even Dumbledore.
"I know very well." Luke nodded seriously. "I know very well that the method of immortality must have drawbacks. According to my information, Grindelwald should use the Fountain of Youth when he returns to youth. But the Fountain of Youth must be harmful to people's existence. It is affected by some kind of adverse impression. I don’t know the specific impact, but so far, I have not seen an immortality method without disadvantages.”
In fact, the safest method of immortality that Luke currently has access to is the Philosopher's Stone.After all, all the magic stone needs is to replenish vitality and maintain youthfulness as much as possible.As for the other immortality methods of the four giants, except for Ms. Hufflepuff's method which is questionable and Grindelwald's method which is still not really concluded, the methods of the other two people have great side effects.
And I don’t know when this side effect will be eliminated.
Fortunately, time is the least important thing to them.
However, the experience of the Big Four has given Luke some inspiration.Although he does not think that eternal life is a gift or anything else, for ordinary people, eternal life is still a great temptation, and will usher in divine punishment.
Luke didn't believe that Grindelwald's immortality was perfect immortality with no side effects at all.This can also be seen from the servants who appeared during his investigation.Although these people still remain young and young.But that sense of old age has always lingered on them.
Although Luke didn't know what was wrong with these people, he had handed it over to the Snake Eye Research Institute for investigation.I believe there will be results soon.
"So, if you want eternal life, I can help you. At least for a long period of time, you will not die in front of Grindelwald, and you can still attend his funeral."
There is actually no real benefit to what Luke said.And the only benefit is very simple.Let the old man in front of him get a chance to send away the person he cares about most in the world.
"Think carefully, Professor, even if you go to Nico now, he may not give you the Magic Stone. Because the ownership of the Magic Stone now technically belongs to me."
There must be other ways in the world to achieve eternal life, or immortality in a certain sense.But all the methods of immortality that Dumbledore knew were found in Luke.
If Luke is willing to use this thing as a carrot dangled in front of the donkey, there must be many, many people who are willing to be Luke's donkey.
Dumbledore shook his head without hesitation: "If I really wanted it, I wouldn't have refused at that time."
He leaned back in his chair and said with a somewhat complicated tone: "Although I no longer have the tendency to self-destruct and am willing to continue living, this does not mean that I am willing to accept eternal life. I have worked so hard. After many years, I still hope to retire as soon as possible if I can.”
Luke smiled and said nothing more.Dumbledore's unwillingness to live forever seemed wise to Luke.after all……
"It's not a good thing..."
………………
"It's a good thing."
Voldemort said this while lying on the bed, looking at the newspaper in his hand.
"But... if Grindelwald focuses on the British wizarding world, then those who might have cooperated with us will also turn to cooperate with him..." Miriam John said hesitantly.
Randolph Mendy, who was missing one hand, gave him a hard blow on the head: "There are adults here! How can someone stand with others!"
Miriam John's face was turned towards the ground by this slap, which just covered his disdainful expression.
Damn it, why wasn’t he the one Luke Gunter captured at that time?If he was the one captured, he wouldn't have to suffer this sulking here.And there's this stupid Randolph Mendy.How about believing in Voldemort?My hands haven’t even grown yet!
Logically speaking, it has never been difficult for a wizard of Voldemort's level to grow a new hand under his hand, or to create a convenient and usable prosthetic hand for him.
But the problem now is that Voldemort hasn't healed his leg yet, so how can he waste his magic power on his subordinates?
Miriam John raised his head and looked at Voldemort with a sneer.Of course, his attention was still on the leg that had just grown out.
The thigh part of that leg has grown quite well.But it will probably take a few days before it is fully grown.
The spell Luke Gaunt used should have a curse attached to it.The effect of this curse is to prevent the wound from healing.If it were an ordinary wizard, he might have died from excessive blood loss by now.That is to say, the injured person now is Voldemort, which makes it seem less serious.
"I remembered where I had seen this curse before..." Voldemort's voice sounded, talking about a topic that had nothing to do with the conversation just now, "The creator of this curse should be Severus Snape. "
Hearing this name, Miriam John and Randolph Mendy were stunned for a moment.Of course they had heard of this man.If we say that among the Death Eaters back then, the two of them were pawns that no one cared about.Then Severus Snape is a highly regarded rising star.
People who are powerful and good at potions are considered talents in any organization.Moreover, this person's behavior can be regarded as a Death Eater among Death Eaters, with arrogance and anger often displayed.
Such a person...could he have betrayed him?
Miriam John and Randolph Mendy chose to remain silent at the same time in a tacit understanding. If they remembered correctly, last night Voldemort also said that Severus Snape was someone who might be trustworthy, or at least worthy of trust. As for the people taking advantage.
Voldemort's face was equally ugly.He knew that the current situation was completely different from what he originally imagined.Now, he still has to think carefully about how to deal with it.
It’s been a long time since I’ve used my brain to think about the pros and cons of something.It was a sudden thought, and I was not used to it.After all, even when he was still a remnant soul, he was used to acting according to his interests.
Now that I have a body, I am even more reluctant to give up this body.Naturally, you need to think more carefully about your actions.
But after thinking for a moment, Voldemort nodded.
"According to the original plan."
He said in a deep voice: "As long as I can regain my strength, everything will be fine!"
Strength is what Voldemort cares about the most. Even if he is ridiculed as worthless by Luke, he will not waver in any way.Because he knew very well that everything he obtained back then was brought about by strength.
The two Death Eaters guarding him nodded, acknowledging the correctness of this statement.They actually think so too.After all... asking them to say something else would be a bit overwhelming.
Looking at the two dull gourds in front of him, Voldemort closed his eyes in pain.
"Go down..."
"Yes, my lord!"
The answer at this time seemed very energetic.The two people quickly left the broken room, leaving Voldemort alone.
Voldemort looked at his surroundings.Sunlight filtered in through the holes in the roof, illuminating the otherwise dark room.Apart from the broken bed, the room was filled with discarded furniture and sundries.This looks like someone's utility room.But it looks like it has been abandoned for a long time.
Now that he has lost a leg, his strength is greatly affected, so he decided to restore his strength in a low-key manner first.
"Next time...I will let you realize how terrible I am..."
Voldemort thought about Luke's appearance in his mind and said through gritted teeth.
If people are not disappointed with the current order, how can anyone be willing to support his order?
So Luke is still willing to create some difficulties for himself.
However, Luke still understands that the meal must be eaten one bite at a time and the road must be walked step by step.It's not common sense to suddenly arrange a big boss for yourself.
