Chapter 215: It seems that a great secret has been discovered

"Principal, can you let me see the Philosopher's Stone?" Seeing Dumbledore lost in thought, Yang Tian asked unexpectedly.

"Of course." Dumbledore didn't take Yang Tian's request too seriously, but handed it over casually.

After Yang Tian thanked him cheerfully, he took the Philosopher's Stone in his hand and rubbed it. This was the first time he had touched the Philosopher's Stone in person. It was known as the most magical item in the magic world. Of course, Yang Tian was not just here for viewing. He had already asked Thread 3 of the Intelligent Brain to start analyzing it...

"Thank you for everything you have done for Hogwarts, my dear child." Dumbledore finally woke up from his thoughts and said sincerely.

"Principal, you know, verbal praise doesn't mean much to me. How about something practical?" At this time, Yang Tian once again turned into a mercenary little fox.

Dumbledore did not feel disgusted with Yang Tian. Instead, he asked with a smile, "Tell me, boy, what do you want this time?"

"Don't worry about that for now... Hehe, what I mean is, should we settle the last bill first?" Yang Tian smiled shyly.

"Are you talking about the restricted area of ​​the library? You should also feel sorry for your old headmaster? It was you who instigated Algeria..." Dumbledore said helplessly.

"No, no, no, Principal, you misunderstood. Didn't I tell you everything? There's no rush for the banned area. I can finish reading it before the holiday." Yang Tian didn't dare let the principal finish his words and hurriedly explained.

"So what do you mean?" Dumbledore was a little confused.

"What I want to say is, didn't we sign an unbreakable oath?" Yang Tian continued shyly...

"Have you got a target?" Dumbledore asked in surprise, but before he could finish his words, his heart skipped a beat when he saw Yang Tian looking at the Philosopher's Stone with excitement.

Sure enough, Yang Tian asked, "This Philosopher's Stone should belong to Mr. Nicolas Flamel, right?"

Dumbledore was quite speechless after his thoughts were confirmed. He said weakly, "You don't want Nicolas Flamel to teach you alchemy, do you?"

"Principal, you are so awesome! I just mentioned it, and you already know all my thoughts." Yang Tian said with surprise.

"Don't say these compliments. It's no different from saying it directly." Dumbledore was much calmer at this time. "I just want to know one thing. Did you think of this all along?"

"It's not that exaggerated!" Yang Tian said embarrassedly, "I just confirmed the general direction."

"Sometimes I feel that you have a deep mind. Are you really an 11-year-old child?" Dumbledore said with emotion.

"Professor Dumbledore, don't think about everything so complicatedly. If you were in my position and accidentally knew the relationship between Mr. Nicolas Flamel and the Philosopher's Stone, what would you do? In fact, I'm just trying to prove that I'm worthy." Yang Tian said casually.

Dumbledore nodded silently after hearing this. I have to say, if it were him, he would probably make the same choice, right?

"Well, in accordance with our unbreakable oath, I will try my best to get you the opportunity to become my apprentice. But I can't guarantee anything. Nicolas Flamel's ideas are very different now." Dumbledore said seriously.

Yang Tian was shocked. Could it be that Nico Flamel had already decided to die? He was anxious and said, "I am naturally grateful to the principal for trying his best to persuade him. However, can the principal contact Mr. Nico Flamel as soon as possible to confirm this matter? Before things reach an irreversible point, I also look forward to meeting him and making a final attempt."

Dumbledore felt that this boy seemed to know something, but he did not say much and directly agreed: "Okay, I can promise you this. Just wait for my news in the next two days."

Yang Tian was overjoyed when he heard this. He had to admit that since the last misunderstanding was resolved, he seemed to be treated no less than the protagonist...

"Now let's talk about this reward. What do you want?" Dumbledore asked.

"This time? I really haven't thought it through this time. How about giving me some time so I can think about it carefully?" This action was originally a spur-of-the-moment decision. How could Yang Tian think of any benefits?

Dumbledore thought for a moment and said, "Okay then. I'll give you ten days. Give me an accurate answer within ten days."

"Yes, Principal." Yang Tian was ready to go back and think about it, but now: "By the way, Principal, did you rush back from Albania?"

"Yes." Dumbledore answered without any hesitation: "Do you want to ask about the situation over there?"

Seeing Yang Tian's expectant eyes, the old principal continued: "Okay, then I'll tell you. The situation over there is a bit bad now. Compared to the reconnaissance report, I saw more green robes and blue robes."

After a pause, he said inexplicably: "Besides, I also saw my old friend."

Yang Tian was stunned and said, "You mean Alger? The chief magician of the palace?"

"Yes, it's him." Dumbledore's tone was full of disbelief. "I really didn't expect that he is still alive today. What I didn't expect was that time didn't leave any traces on him. I was still a young man back then, but now I am already an old man; but he is still the same as before!"

"Why is this happening?" Yang Tian was also very curious.

"It's not clear for now. And I have a suspicion that the young-looking red-robed man is very likely a figure from that period. They should have mastered something unknown." Dumbledore's words revealed deep doubt.

"I really don't understand what the principal means." Yang Tian was a little stunned for a moment.

Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "It's not your fault, kid. You haven't experienced that era. Besides, not all history will be recorded and passed down truthfully. In fact, in the era when imperial power was supreme, the work of court magicians was not only to fight, but also an important task was to study how to prolong the lifespan of royal family members. To put it bluntly, who wants to be immortal?"

Hearing this, Yang Tian's brain seemed to split apart! Thinking about Dumbledore's words, and then thinking about Voldemort's abnormal answer; he seemed to have grasped the core of this organization! What about extending the life of royal family members? What about attacking the wizarding world? What about ruling the Muggle world? Those are just the external appearance of this organization. They have never been for these things. Maybe they are just for research... research on immortality? Research on breakthroughs in magic? Research on the evolution of species? Or research on their own breakthroughs?

They use the whole of Britain, no, maybe the whole of the West, as their pasture, and any strange place will be confined for research. Perhaps, all the creatures and materials on this earth are the nutrients for those at the top of the pyramid to move forward?

The more he thought about it, the colder he felt! He couldn't help but tell Dumbledore his thoughts, and Dumbledore immediately fell into deep thought. Maybe this was the answer closest to the truth? The two were speechless for a long time...

In the end, it was Yang Tian who came back to his senses first: "Principal, what is the current situation in Albania?"

"Their social order is indeed gradually collapsing, and vicious incidents are happening frequently. I do feel the shadow of magic behind all this." Dumbledore's expression was quite serious at this time: "But this time it was indeed too hasty, and I was just doing a simple investigation. After finishing things here, I will go there again..."

It's really like one wave has not yet settled, another wave comes...
