Chapter 83

Hector did not stay with Nicolas Flamel for a long time. Mr. Flamel, who had consumed a lot of soul power, needed time to recover and had no energy to take care of him. Mr. Flamel's memory was also being restored in full swing. His mind was full of memories from more than 600 years, and these memories were more or less tampered with, re-created, and blurred to a considerable extent by that power. Fortunately, Hector's grandfather gave him a copy of his memory before leaving. As a reference, this memory was stored in the Pensieve by Nicolas Flamel. (The great alchemist Nicolas Flamel naturally also had this magical object. Dumbledore's one was a Christmas gift from Nicolas Flamel.) Mr. Flamel needed time, and it was obvious that Hector could not help much here.

However, when leaving the room, Mr. Flamel still reminded Hector worriedly,

"This is a very terrifying conspiracy, and the conspiracy is not only aimed at me, but also at you, and even the whole world."

Hector agreed with Mr. Flamel's words. He believed that one thing was very clear now - there was a powerful and mysterious force in this world, and it did not want the people of this world to leave, and it did not even want the people in this world to know that there was a different world outside. So it wanted to do its best to erase the existence of those who knew the news. This force seemed to be committed to forming a barrier to block the way to the outside world.

Hector could even infer from this information that this force was indeed strong enough, but not as overly powerful as imagined - since it did not want anyone to know the outside information, why did it let outsiders like him in? It only meant that it was not strong enough, or at least it did not send Hector into this world.

The so-called system is powerful.

Under the powerful threat of the system, this force can only submit.

It tries its best to tolerate these outsiders, which it sees as parasites.

It even feels threatened and carries out such things as eliminating outsiders in its own territory secretly, for fear of being discovered by the system.

This idea can also be verified from another perspective - when Hector came to this world, this force immediately stopped suppressing Nicolas Flamel, which awakened his grandfather from a two-hundred-year slumber.

Hector continued to speculate, if that is the case, then is there a possibility that the original world he lived in in his previous life was also in a similar situation? The so-called system is a force that wants to break this barrier, but the world he lived in in his previous life has a force similar to the current world. , and this power is strong enough, so strong that it can resist the external power of the system.

Therefore, the system can only use the method of guiding death to intercept the souls in the world, and introduce them into the less powerful world to cultivate, and then use the souls of these souls, like his grandfather, who want to return to the original world to break the power of his own world.

Is this power a shield of protection or a shackle of confinement?

Is the so-called system a guiding lighthouse or a raging fire of aggression?

Hector didn't know, he just made such a guess.

But he went back to figure it out.

Hector said goodbye to Mr.

Flamel who was busy.

He insisted on repairing the alchemical equipment and the imitation of the Mirror of Erised that was destroyed at some unknown time during the recovery period.

He asked Hector to convey to Dumbledore that he could not come out to send.

Other apologies - Dumbledore didn't know when he fell asleep on the sofa, but under Hector's questioning, he didn't have any memory disorder.

It seems that this incense has a very bad habit of bullying newcomers, but it is very regular for locals like Dumbledore.

The sun was about to set, and Dumbledore was quite dissatisfied with Mr.

Flamel for not letting them stay, but Mr.

Flamel gave a very reasonable excuse in Dumbledore's opinion - Perenelle was sick.

Dumbledore naturally had nothing to say about this, and with Hector conveying Mr.

Flamel's apology, Dumbledore's remaining dissatisfaction soon disappeared.

However, finding a suitable place to stay is still a serious problem, so Dumbledore can only take Hector to the hiding place, which is Diagon Alley in France.

The way to go to the two places is somewhat different.

The passage to Diagon Alley is behind the Hog's Head Inn, and the passage to the hiding place is hidden in a pillar.

On the pillar was a bronze statue that looked a bit old.

It was a female character in the same style as the statue of David.

Her skirt extended to the pillar below with a clever arc, and the passage leading to the hidden place was under the skirt of the statue.

There was a circus performance in the hidden place tonight, so it was particularly lively.

Everyone's attention was on the performers performing the circus, so Dumbledore's appearance did not cause much response - this was Dumbledore's explanation to Hector.

The old man said that he would never admit that his influence in France was not as exaggerated as in Britain.

But this was also good.

Hector had a very peaceful night.

They sat on the tables and chairs placed on the roadside of the restaurant, watching the circus while enjoying French food - it must be said that compared with those British dishes, French food is much better, perhaps because of the novelty.

Dumbledore's attention was more on the circus, and he did not ask Hector any details of the conversation between Nicolas Flamel and him.

Dumbledore believed that this was a secret between Hector and Mr.

Flamel.

If he needed to know, Ector would tell him.

���They would definitely tell him, so he didn't care much about it.

The performance of the circus was not very exciting, it could only be said to satisfy the curiosity of these wizards living in big cities.

The scene in front of him was very similar to the mysterious circus that came to Paris seventy or eighty years ago, but Dumbledore did not see the ill-fated, miserable and beautiful blood-cursed orc, nor the silent and low-key Momoran with the flame of freedom burning in his eyes.

Compared with Hector's relish, Dumbledore was more reminiscing.

The blood-cursed orc seemed to be called Nagini, he thought.

Where is she now? Is she completely trapped in the body of the beast? If he knew Credence's identity at the time, if he could pay more attention to this matter, would the ending be different?

Dumbledore was silent, he quietly recalled the past years. The circus in front of him was still performing step by step, and the sounds of various musical instruments were mixed with laughter and applause, which seemed very lively against the backdrop of the night. The noisy sound overwhelmed Dumbledore's ears, and he was even a little absent-minded. It took him a long time to hear Hector's shout.

"What are we going to do tomorrow, Grandpa Albus?"

"Oh, sorry Hector, we are going to Austria, Nurmengard Castle tomorrow."

Dumbledore seemed a little flustered, but the panic did not last long, and he quickly covered it up with a bright smile. Dumbledore first looked around, and after making sure that no one could hear him, he still used a few spells around him very steadily. Hector even saw the casting method of the Confusion Spell from it. The wizard who was focused by Dumbledore with the Confusion Spell immediately stood up and ran towards the crowd.

"It is better to be cautious.

Dumbledore put away his wand and said to Hector,

"You heard it right, the person we are going to meet is indeed Grindelwald."

Hector's violent reaction, which Dumbledore expected, did not appear. He just nodded when he heard the news, and then started eating the food on the plate in front of him. This surprised Dumbledore a little, and he asked Hector,

"Aren't you surprised?"

"What's surprising?Oh, you mean Grindelwald? Not really surprised."

Hector's mouth was full of mashed potatoes, and his words were a little slurred.

"Why?"

"I read a lot of books, Grandpa Albus, a lot of them, and I read a lot of different books, so you are not as surprised as you think."

Dumbledore fell silent immediately, and Hector looked up at him. To Hector's surprise, Dumbledore's face flushed, and he didn't know whether it was caused by anger or shyness.

"You should read some useful books, some of which are nonsense and have no basis."

Dumbledore's tone was complicated, like anger, but not completely.

"If you say so, it is so, Grandpa Albus."
