Chapter 436 The Fatal Temptation
·
Nan Shan Dou Xi
Return to youth and live forever.
The temptation that many people pursue is like a person who is about to die of thirst, seeing a bottomless abyss.
Do you plunge into the water desperately and struggle, or continue to rely on that lingering breath?
Such a choice falls on Albus Dumbledore, the god of the wizarding world.
John chuckled, took half a step back and bowed holding the Holy Grail.
"Great wizard Dumbledore, please drink your wine of immortality."
Just a sip, a small sip.
Dumbledore can return to his youth and return to his strongest time.
Go back to the period when you were most energetic.
All worries will disappear, not even the fear that there is no second Dumbledore in the wizarding world.
The atmosphere froze at this moment, as if someone pressed the shutter to freeze the scene.
Dumbledore stared at the liquid that represented immortality.
After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly chuckled and looked at John calmly.
"It's a very tempting delicacy, but I still prefer mead."
He resisted the temptation this time.
Prove to the world once again that Dumbledore is still the god of that magical world.
He will not fall because of longevity, he sticks to the bottom line, and has withstood the test from the second king.
John slowly loosened his hand holding the Holy Grail, and the golden Holy Grail gradually turned into nothingness under Dumbledore's gaze.
John lost his smile and looked at Dumbledore quietly.
"You are a respectable man, but also a fool, Dumbledore."
If this opportunity is given to Voldemort, do you think he can refuse?
"You missed the opportunity to completely become a god, you chose to be a human being."
John wasn't lying, whether Dumbledore was afraid of poisoning himself or because Dumbledore really had the heart of a saint.
He missed that chance to become a god.
Dumbledore, who was sitting on the altar, was ripped off and now began to live in a human way, not a demigod.
"I know your purpose, and you know my ambition." John snapped his fingers, and the crystal gold-rimmed cup containing the stars reappeared in his hand.
Handing the wine glass to Dumbledore, John chuckled and said, "To the death you will meet in the future, Dumbledore."
Dumbledore took it with a smile and blinked, "Thank you for your toast."
He drank the wine in the cup, and the golden stars turned into warm magic power and entered his body.
Dumbledore also took some damage while fighting Voldemort.
It got better after recuperation, but the effect of this glass of wine was comparable to a week's recuperation.
Dumbledore said with emotion: "A very comfortable wine."
"It's good to be pure," John said with a smile after taking a sip of the wine, "Sometimes you don't need so many precious things, you just need to be pure."
"I think this sentence can be included in my notes," Dumbledore said with a smile, "The old man who is the neighbor left first."
He walked slowly to the next door, opened the door and closed it slowly.
John stood at the door for a while, then turned and closed the door of the Star Club.
"You're always so irresistible, Dumbledore."
His eyes were deep, and the others didn't know the danger of the confrontation just now.
They test each other's purpose and their own ambitions.
Is it an enemy or a friend?
Or...
Mutual advantage.
...
The gathering of the Star Club is over.
Daphne went back with her sister on her back, Malfoy and Neville had a fight.
As a result, Malfoy's hair turned into chicken nests, and he still failed to avenge his body check.
John was left alone at the Society of Stars, fingering the ring.
"Want to become the guardian of the Holy Grail?"
He guessed that the reason why Dumbledore stayed in school, in addition to cultivating and protecting Harry, the bigger reason should be because John hid the Holy Grail.
That unstable factor greatly affected the balance of the magical world that Dumbledore hoped for.
What he wanted wasn't some immortal being ruling the wizarding world, or wizards killing each other.
Dumbledore has his own set of judging criteria.
Extreme ideas cannot pass Dumbledore's review.
John hid the Holy Grail in Hogwarts, trying to attract Voldemort.
This has a great risk, and it may completely bring Hogwarts down.
So Dumbledore will be here to supervise.
He wanted to make sure that Voldemort would not get the Holy Grail, even with the poorest body protection.
From the moment John tested Dumbledore with the Holy Grail, he knew that the other party's dedication to peace, even Dumbledore himself, would not be allowed to break.
"You don't give me a reason to hate you with all my heart." John looked up at the dome under the starlight.
His feelings for Dumbledore are very complicated, the admiration when he was young, the ideal after growing up, the resentment after the incident, and the deliberate calculation.
He can yell at Dumbledore, and he can plot to pull people down from their altars.
He can make Dumbledore lose all his honor, but he can't really shoot Dumbledore.
Magic is idealistic, just like the illusory love.
Hate is also an important factor in constructing magic.
Dumbledore didn't hurt John, and John couldn't defeat Dumbledore without actually doing something to John.
It's not a bitch, it's magic in action.
Just like Harry's mother, even someone as strong as Voldemort could not break the protective spell of her love.
This is an idealistic thing.
That's why it's called magic.
John was more angry with Dumbledore because of his inaction. If he couldn't turn this anger into hatred, he couldn't really fight with the other party.
"The fool's strategy, although stupid, is helpless." He thumped the table in frustration.
The number one king of the wizarding world, Dumbledore will be particularly difficult when he doesn't talk to you about the overall situation.
"Looks like he's been plotting since the Ministry incident."
Thinking of Slughorn's appointment of Sirius as a professor, it is estimated that Dumbledore is behind the scenes.
He was placing members of the Order of the Phoenix at Hogwarts, while staying at the school to continue training Harry.
Let Harry grow up as soon as possible.
Fortunately, John still took the initiative.
As long as the Holy Grail is under his control, all problems will be dominated by him.
"We have to get ready for war," he said to himself, "I don't know what's going on with Narcissa?"
Let Narcissa return to Voldemort's side, whether Voldemort believes it or not, he will use this opportunity to obtain more news.
The point is not whether Voldemort believes Narcissa or not, but that Voldemort needs the information Narcissa provides and what to do with Narcissa's hands.
Just like if it weren't for Narcissa, Bellatrix would never have been able to find Malfoy to defeat and take the badge.
"I gave you all the keys to unlock it. Faced with the temptation of immortality, what is your choice, Tom?"
Voldemort faced the same choice as Dumbledore.
wrong.
He has no choice.
He is afraid of death, and the Holy Grail is a fatal temptation to him.
At the same time, he has no time.
Maybe he could hide and wait for Dumbledore's death.
But he couldn't wait for John to grow up.
During the Battle of the Ministry of Magic, John's strength and growth rate were enough to scare him.
In a few more years, John would have the power to kill Voldemort head-on.
John is not Dumbledore, he doesn't have the kind of good temper to sit high on the altar.
With Johnny Silver Hand and the Ministry of Magic, even if Voldemort hid deep, he would be dug out.
He should be terrified of John.
Either fight to the death or be brutally killed by John afterwards.
Voldemort would choose the former, John was sure.
Looking back at the nine doors, he needed to give Voldemort a chance, and then collected the soul.
Death had been unable to fool Voldemort, so another excuse was needed.
"When the time is right, I need to find a reason to disappear."
Rumors had spread, and with Narcissa's report of her movements, he couldn't believe that Voldemort wasn't tempted.
The game between the three kings is still undercurrent, but everyone is trying their best.
...
John has always been a man of keeping promises. For example, if he says he will not attend class, he will not attend class, and if he says he will attend class, he will definitely arrive on time.
He also shows up in Transfiguration and Charms, and sometimes in Herbalism.
The most common place to see John is in Care of Fantastic Beasts.
Hagrid waited nervously for John for the second week.
When it was time for class, John showed up on time.
This made Hagrid's hanging heart drop.
"Great John, let's go see Glop." Hagrid was going to lead John to Glop as soon as class started.
John was speechless; "Hagrid, don't you have to go to class?"
Hagrid said with a strange expression: "Your knowledge reserve can be graduated directly."
"Okay," John said helplessly, "but you have to put it another way, it's called expanding your knowledge."
Correct Hagrid, Hagrid makes sense.
The two went to see Glop, and John kept his promise and prepared something for Glop.
A rubber frisbee and a whole set of educational toys.
They were all made by John, who installed a blackboard in the cave so that Gropp could learn to read.
...
