Chapter 292: Horcruxes
The flickering fireworks illuminated an old face, under the long eyebrows, the chaotic eyes reflected the activity of the fireworks, and the snow-white beard was like cheese on ice cream, looking at the ...... I really want to go over and grab a handful.
"Listening to the weak voice in the voice, looking at the pale old man and white man, his eyes are chaotic and unfocused, Your Excellency Headmaster Dumbledore, if you retire early, you may be able to enjoy ten years of health preservation by learning more about health. Dismask put down a book on the History of Magic in his hand and stared at the person in front of him.
"I'm old, and the future belongs to young people. Albus didn't care, put the lantern in his hand aside, sat at the desk, picked up Dismask at random and put down the book, and said casually, "When I was young, I also read this book, and the hundreds of pages of the history of magic are the most interesting." ”
Someone knew the purpose of his trip.
Hearing this, Dismask's eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze was blazing and deep, and he once again looked at the old man who was about to die, and in the brightly lit library, only this giant who supported Hogwarts was left in his eyes.
"I have a story, would you like to hear it?" Albus put down the book, picked up the palm lamp at his feet, slowly stood up, and walked back, the sound of vicissitudes sounding from the library again. He was confident that the fish would take the bait.
Dismask looked at the old man's back, the corners of his mouth twitched, do people like to play dumb riddles when they are old, then he will do what he wants, stand up, stride forward, and walk side by side with Dumbledore in a few breaths.
"Defense of Magic teacher, Giron, liked the story the old headmaster told. Dismask threw out an olive branch, which means that he is the teacher of the Defence Against the Dark Arts class in the Academy of Magic.
Albus nodded, his tall figure seemed to relax a lot.
The two went up to the eighth floor, where the Gryffindor common room and the principal's office were located.
Dumbledore walked to the Headmaster's office, but he didn't expect that Gryffindor Head of House Minerva McGonagall had been waiting in the office for a long time.
"I didn't expect Professor McGonagall to sleep tonight. Behind him, Dismask quipped.
"Good evening! Minerva greeted her in a friendly manner, then replied, "I will return to my accommodation when the children are asleep." ”
"You are such a competent teacher. Dismusk nodded.
Albus nodded at Minerva, who slowly exited the principal's office.
"Don't you worry about me, Albus?" said Desmask, who followed Albus into the office, found a chair very casually, sat on the opposite side of the desk, and looked at the old headmaster in front of the desk.
"McGonagall is not worried about me, you are too worried. Albus sat in his chair and rummaged through the drawer under the desk for a long time, pulling out a dusty parchment scroll of books.
He gently wiped it with the sleeve of his wide coat, and when it was clean, he put it in front of Dismask, and said, "The stories in the library are all retouched, and this record of the "Holy Grail" is verifiable. ”
Although looking at the books in front of him, his heart was very hot, but at this moment, the surrounding environment, and even the changes in his heart, everything was within the control of the other party, and Dismask was very uncomfortable with this feeling, so he didn't move, just asked, "How do you know the purpose of my trip." ”
"Well......" Albus replied with a soft sigh, "your two servants ate five unicorns, two wild hipponies, and a fawn in Hagrid's captivity in one night. Although the School of Magic is lonely, for the Ministry of Magic, which is leading the "Holy Grail War", it is still possible to pass on some news. ”
The old man's words were ambiguous, one was the "Holy Grail War" he knew, and the other was the two vampires in the woods he also knew.
Dis Musk was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but be surprised, what he was surprised was not the "Holy Grail", but the trip to North America, he used the Eight Masters to concentrate on the Three Heavenly Kings and their black party elites to raid the vampire Volturi family and the Cullen family, and did not mobilize any power in the Sanctuary, just to strengthen his personal armament, he consciously did it secretly, but he didn't expect that even the bad old man of the British Isles on the mainland knew about it. Or rather, some gossip.
Dismask picked up the parchment scroll in front of him and flipped it, and there were not only words on the scroll, but also pictures explaining it.
After a long time, Dismask looked up at the old man in front of him and said, "The Holy Grail originated from the Norse god King Odin, and it was used to carry the cup of wisdom spring water back then. ”
"I've looked through the sources, and there is a legend of the Holy Grail in Christianity. ”
"But you ended up in the wizarding world, which means you already knew the answer when you searched for it. Albus said as he looked directly at Dismask's questioning gaze.
"I need a plausible explanation more. Dismask suddenly said strongly, he really doesn't like the old man's kind of witty communication, although smart people are very good at communication, but they can often guess people's hearts in the process of communication, which is taboo.
"The three families were able to carry out the "Holy Grail War" with the acquiescence of the Ministry of Magic, so how could the Ministry of Magic not understand the meaning of the Holy Grail. Albus replied without hurry.
"Since you know the concept of the 'Holy Grail', why do you still acquiesce to the actions of the Imperial Three Family, is the power of the Imperial Three Family already greater than the Ministry of Magic?" Dismask was in disbelief, how could the Holy Grail, known as the "Universal Wishing Machine", be unattractive to a power department like the Ministry of Magic.
Albus replied, "How can human beings be so easy to crack the things of God, so they need some precursors to drive the future." ”
Look, this is what a learned person says, a clear victim, but he can be said to be a forerunner with righteousness and awe.
This rash appearance has always been the appearance of Dismask's pursuit of the mystery of the underworld.
"If someone is crafted into a "Little Grail" and summons a large "Holy Grail", how can I get that person out of the control of the Holy Grail? Dismask frowned, this time he didn't hide his ultimate purpose, thinking that the old man who knew so much about the "Holy Grail War" must also know his past, his intention, and even more know who he is, where he came from, and the glorious history of the Zodiac Palace of the Sanctuary is not something that the principal of a magic school can easily look up to.
"Does that man still retain his humanity?" Albus froze, but the corners of his mouth curled slightly for a moment, and then returned to normal.
"Not sure. Thinking of Alice Phil, who had been transformed into the Holy Grail, Dismask shook his head and said.
Albus continued, "Are people still alive?"
"Can a person be resurrected when he dies?" asked Dismask abruptly.
Albus frowned, his old face huddled together. He replied affirmatively, "No." ”
Dismask suddenly stretched out his hand, opened his five fingers, and shook it lightly at the quiet Fox on the brazier, and an inexplicable force suddenly compressed the space, stirring up the fiery red flames on the phoenix's body, and the fireworks flashed away like meteors and turned into ashes. The brazier was extinguished instantly.
Dismusk looked at Albus as if he was fine, and Albus didn't care about the other party's behavior, and looked directly at the other party without showing weakness, as if reading the inner world through the window of the heart.
In a few moments, the fireworks in the brazier appeared, and the phoenix chirped, and it was born against the rock, and the fire was prosperous.
This is both a show of force and an answer to the other side.
If even "humanity" is devoured by the other party, then what is the difference between it and death? Albus thought that he understood the other party's behavior and knew the other party's determination, and some words were swallowed back when they came to his mouth, and he thought for a moment before he replied softly, "Have you heard of Horcruxes?"
Dismusk shook his head silently.
Albus slowly explained, "I once had a student named Tom Riddle, who sealed his soul in a diary, and in a way, the Holy Grail also had the same function, and trying to free people from the control of the Holy Grail is equivalent to breaking away from the Horcrux sustenance. ”
Albus's words were calm, but Dismusk heard a different story from them.
