"It does sound like a nuisance." Dumbledore raised an eyebrow, "So what are you visiting with Mr. Borgin this time?" ”

"Come on, you know very well what we are here for, and you don't need to be tempted with such words." Tang Bai waved his hand, piercing Dumbledore's ambiguity. Although Dumbledore has always behaved in front of the young wizards as a kind and even somewhat confused old man, Tang Bai believes that his eye for people and his sensitivity to things still have not regressed.

"Mr. Bojin himself is a master of alchemy, although I am proficient in various fields, but in alchemy, I don't think I can surpass Mr. Bojin at all. If you ask for my help, of course I will do my best, but please don't expect too much from me. Dumbledore shook his head.

"We don't actually plan to make you the main force." Bogin-Bock on the side couldn't help muttering.

"Oh?" Dumbledore's eyes narrowed, looking thoughtfully at Don Bai and Bokin Bock through the sockets on the bridge of his nose.

"I heard that you and Nicol Lemay are best friends?" Seeing that Dumbledore should have guessed their purpose, Tang Bai didn't mean to hide it anymore.

"I admit it." Dumbledore nodded, his expression as if he was thinking about something, and his tone was slow: "So, your real purpose this time is for Nicol?" ”

"I don't deny that there are considerations in this regard. After all, Nicol Lemay is the greatest alchemist of our time, isn't he? He's a legend who lives alive today! Tang Bai said sincerely.

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. It's been a long time since Nick has been bothered by outside affairs. Even I couldn't bother him and his wife. Dumbledore shook his head, "I don't deny that I know where Nick and his wife live now, but you have to know. What they are looking forward to now is a life of peace and tranquility without being disturbed. ”

"Even if there are some bad changes and shocks in the world in the future, will it still be the same?" Tang Bai's face was very calm and asked again.

From the beginning, Tang Bai had already expected Dumbledore's reaction. He easily did not reveal Nicol Lemay's address and information, or even bothered him for something. And Dumbledore was reluctant to say that in this world. For now, Tang Bai had not found anyone in Tang Bai's cognition who could force Dumbledore to tell the secret of his heart.

In terms of the rigor of his tone and the secrecy of his friends, Dumbledore was definitely the best among wizards. If it's casual, use some words. Or if he could use an excuse to get out the secret of Dumbledore's heart, he wouldn't be Dumbledore. Nicol Lemay, on the other hand, was unlikely to reveal his address or contact information to Dumbledore.

In other words, to put it mildly, Dumbledore's trust in Tang Bai. It was even far less than he trusted Snape. Even in the treatment of Voldemort. Tang Bai had provided Dumbledore with a lot of information and help, but the trust and friendship between the two sides was only limited to that level.

After all, Tang Bai and Dumbledore are not the same kind of people, the two can cooperate, they have a certain friendship with each other, and there is no problem with trust, in the case of the same interests and purposes, there is still no problem in working together and intimacy.

But if you want to go further. Let the two form a closer working relationship, and even share certain secrets. This is a thousand difficulties.

Just as it was impossible for Tang Bai to really open his heart to Dumbledore and have a certain degree of vigilance and vigilance against him, so did Dumbledore's senses for Tang Bai. The two parties can sit down and discuss or discuss certain things in a friendly and cordial, friend-like atmosphere, but the intimate points of each other are mostly avoided. If you can't avoid it, it will be vague.

So Dumbledore's reply did not exceed Tang Bai's surprise.

"He never saw himself as a savior. He is now just a person who likes to live quietly and quietly with his wife. This was true when Gellert Grindelwald was raging, and it was the same when Tom Riddle was in power. Dumbledore shook his head again.

"I don't have any ill intentions or ulterior motives." Tang Bai held the warm drink cup in his hand, "I don't have any covetous thoughts about the Philosopher's Stone that many wizards dream of and desire. Even if it is in my hands, I just want to deconstruct it 100% and understand its magical composition and refining skills. ”

"You should believe that. I don't need to use any magic stones as the main medicine to refine the elixir of life, and then survive for a hundred years and a hundred years. I have better alternatives that don't cost too much. When he said this, Tang Bai's eyes moved away from the body of the drink cup, and stared directly at Dumbledore's right hand: "You can believe this, because you have also felt that power." ”

"The resurrection stone, and the backlash of the black magic on it, are not ordinary potions and magic that can be restored. But it's so magical, it brings your dead palm back to life. To put it mildly, if it weren't for my help, you wouldn't be sitting here with a red face and great health, but you would only be able to count the days you would have survived on your fingers. ”

"I'm grateful for your help in the first place." Dumbledore raised his intact right hand and shook it twice, his face was serious, and his tone was very sincere in thanks.

"No, no, no, I don't say this to get your thanks, or to make you feel sorry, and then soft-hearted to agree to my request. I know you can't do it, and I don't need you to. Although we are not the same kind of people, we can still trust each other's credibility and commitment. Tang Bai let go of his right hand holding the cup and swung it, interrupting Dumbledore's next words.

Tang Bai knew very well that he couldn't let Dumbledore continue to speak, because if he continued to speak in his previous voice, it would inevitably involve topics such as rewards and thanks. Tang Bai said this, not to ask Dumbledore for anything in return.

Although Dumbledore's reward is worth looking forward to, if Tang Bai wanted it, he would have already asked for it when he cured Dumbledore, so why wait until now?

Of course, Tang Bai also admitted that the reason why he didn't ask for it at that time was because he didn't have the psychology of letting Dumbledore owe a favor. After all, in the wizarding world now, there are not many people and things that can make Dumbledore owe a big favor.

And Dumbledore's reputation, prestige and status in the wizarding world, quite a few times, can even compete with the entire British Ministry of Magic alone. To put it mildly, if Dumbledore is determined to do something, or wants to achieve something, even if the entire Ministry of Magic blocks it, the final result of blocking it will not be too good.

Dumbledore is not only prestigious, what supports him to reach his current status and prestige is his own knowledge and strong strength!

Defeated Gellert Grindelwald and Tom Riddle Voldemort, two amazing dark wizards, that magical strength is enough to make any wizard look up!

All the wizards in the British wizarding world are afraid of Voldemort, and many wizards, even underage wizards, do not even dare to call the magical name under the influence of adults, and can only call him by code names such as that person, mysterious man, or the Dark Lord.

But it is such a powerful dark wizard who has changed the color of many wizards, especially British wizards, and is terrified, and the only person who is afraid is the old wizard Dumbledore in front of him who looks dying and old and has long since lost the peak of his prime!

That alone was enough for Dumbledore to establish high prestige during that dark period. And at that time, the Ministry of Magic, with Dumbledore's covert support and support, was able to stand still under the ravages of Voldemort and the Death Eaters under his command, and did not fall.

Looking at the original book, when Dumbledore was still alive, the resurrected Voldemort was still trying to do some activities in the shadows, but when Dumbledore died, the resurgence of Voldemort and his followers, the Death Eaters, became unscrupulous.

The Minister of Magic is assassinated.

The entire upper echelons of the Ministry of Magic have fallen.

Even the new Minister of Magic is a puppet controlled by the Imperius Curse.

Hogwarts, which was known as the safest place during Dumbledore's time, even during the Rise of the Dark Lord, was plunged into turmoil and "war".

The extravagant hopes and deterrence of the so-called Ministry of Magic are not even as strong as Dumbledore's solitary power.

To put it bluntly, the wizarding world is a place where strength is paramount. Unlike the Muggle world, where technology is important, wizarding is about personal force. Both Voldemort and Dumbledore can be said to be similar to the existence of nuclear weapons in the wizarding world.

If it weren't for Dumbledore's unwillingness to so-called Ministry of Magic power, no one would have been able to stop him from ascending to the highest level of power in the British Ministry of Magic.

It is far less useful to let the other party return the favor than to make him owe the favor. At least in many things that are not in his interest, he will turn a blind eye because of this.

"I brought the artifact, maybe you can take a look. Perhaps your insight can give us some good advice. Tang Bai didn't wait for Dumbledore to speak, and then continued to say again. (To be continued......)
