Chapter 135 My heart and conduct are as clear as a mirror, and everything I do is righteous.

Seeing Lockhart's expectant look, Dumbledore sighed softly.

In his eyes, what Lockhart did might be an opportunity for wizards, but it might also be a disaster.

If he were young, he would have joined before he could.

But now that I am older, I have seen too much bloodshed. The more I see, the more I like the peaceful time.

Moreover, there is a group of students and professors down there, and any move they make will have an impact on them.

Especially Tom.

Dumbledore felt a little headache when he thought of this.

Last semester, Tom possessed Quirrell and entered Hogwarts, causing quite a stir.

And this semester, Gringotts' vault was on fire when he saw a large number of replicas of Hufflepuff's gold cups sitting in Bella's vault.

A bad association suddenly occurred in my mind.

The top magical item left by the four founders of Hogwarts, the Sword of Gryffindor, is in his hand.

The remaining three pieces were all lost and no trace was found.

It's hard to say that this has nothing to do with Tom.

Dumbledore felt a headache when he thought about the effects of the three top magic items recorded in Hogwarts.

However, Lockhart couldn't do nothing, otherwise he would be in trouble if he went astray.

After thinking about it, Dumbledore was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "There is no need to sign my name on the paper for the time being."

Hearing this, Lockhart looked a little disappointed.

Then I heard it.

"However, you can mention me about the content of the paper."

Hearing this, Lockhart perked up.

Although it did not achieve the expected results, it is in good shape now.

In his reply just now, Dumbledore did not explicitly give him a platform, but having his name in the paper will more or less have some influence.

At least his paper won't be knocked down so easily, and if it's not preserved, it can be improved by one or two levels.

After all, Dumbledore's status and influence are not just words.

And, most importantly, Dumbledore is now joining his magic research, which is a good start.

wait until later

He has not forgotten what pain Dumbledore suffered in his life.

If we can help him solve this difficulty and get his full support, it may not be impossible.

The thought flashed through Lockhart's face, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

When Dumbledore saw the change in Lockhart's expression, he didn't say anything and just continued the conversation gently.

"Lockhart, regarding the meditation method, it is indeed an extremely genius idea."

"But how many types have you researched now?"

Having said this, Dumbledore chuckled and said, "When I listened to your explanation just now, I often mentioned your various experiments in meditation."

"Headmaster, I have a lot of meditation methods here, but they all have some side effects." Regarding Dumbledore's question, Lockhart thought for a moment and replied.

"The Nine Yuan Meditation Method is a meditation method that I have verified. Although it is the most basic, it is indeed the most peaceful and has almost no side effects. It is suitable for all wizards and all squibs."

"Therefore, regarding the thesis, I would also like to use the Nine Yuan Meditation Method as an example to explain."

"Principal, what do you think?"

"Lockhart, you have a good idea. Safety comes first after all." Dumbledore thought for a moment, then nodded in praise.

Dumbledore's compliment naturally brought a smile to Lockhart's face.

Well, he is indeed planning to promote the Nine Yuan Meditation Method first. After all, this is the most widely used method.

As for other more advanced meditation methods, he also has many in his hands, and the improvement effect is much higher than that of the Nine Yuan Meditation Method.

The so-called side effects are more or less there, but they have little impact.

These are what he plans to use for his own people.

Otherwise, how can he attract his followers and build his own power?

Gold galleons alone cannot sustain it for long, meditation method and the supporting new magic system are the trump cards in his hand.

It is also the foundation of a wizard's power.

Then

"Lockhart, do you need any help?" Dumbledore asked kindly, stroking his beard.

"Think about it, this old man like me is still of some use."

Regarding Dumbledore's question, Lockhart thought for a moment and said slowly: "Headmaster, there is really something that I need your support for."

"As I told you before, regarding the true effect of meditation, Squib, I asked Filch to conduct experiments."

"However, I'm afraid it's impossible to get the accurate effect of meditation just by convincing Filch alone."

"If possible, I hope to recruit a group of Squibs in the name of Hogwarts to help them practice meditation and obtain accurate experimental data."

Dumbledore hesitated upon hearing Lockhart's request.

He still understood Lockhart's purpose very well.

He still wants Hogwarts to endorse him, recruit squibs in the name of Hogwarts, and conduct meditation experiments.

Not only will there be no problems later, but a large number of high-quality squibs can be easily recruited.

Even Dumbledore thought deeper.

Maybe he could even recruit squibs from pure-blood families, which would make it easier for him to carry out his so-called separatist plan.

So, he decided.

"Well, that's no problem, Lockhart."

Dumbledore hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said

Even if he doesn't let Lockhart recruit squibs for experiments in the name of Hogwarts.

But Lockhart can still conduct experiments with his own power.

Instead of doing this, it is better to put it under your nose for better guidance and control.

Moreover, he had also listened to the Nine Elements Meditation Method just now. As Lockhart said, it was indeed very peaceful and had almost no side effects, so he was not particularly worried.

Hearing Principal Dumbledore's agreement, Lockhart showed a delighted smile on his face.

The most critical step has finally been taken.

Ostensibly recruiting squibs for experiments in the name of Hogwarts.

But in reality, the initial promotion was done in the name of experimentation.

Hogwarts is famous throughout the wizarding world.

As long as the news is spread, many high-status squibs can be easily recruited.

You know, the relatives of many pure-blood families, alchemy masters, and potion masters cannot all be wizards.

More or less a squib.

According to ordinary recruitment methods, they cannot be attracted at all.

But it's different in the name of Hogwarts, especially when the news about him collaborating with Dumbledore was accidentally revealed.

Lockhart was sure that these people came rushing over to practice meditation.

And with these people, he can form the prototype of his own power with just a little screening.

Even if their status is critical enough, they can influence the attitudes of their relatives.

As for Dumbledore's thoughts, Lockhart could more or less guess what he was thinking.

But he felt it didn't matter. He believed that he was completely on the side of justice and fought against those stubborn, corrupt and backward forces.

As the saying goes.

My heart and my actions are as clear as a mirror, and everything I do is righteous!

An inspiration suddenly occurred, which will make the plot of the novel more exciting. However, there was a small conflict with the previous plot, so 129 chapters have been refined. Everyone is welcome to read it again.

I'm very sorry, try to think more comprehensively next time.
