Chapter 412: Loosen your mouth
"It's more complicated and mysterious, and it's more alluring! If the Elder's Wand is only a lure to embark on a path of pursuit of power and power, and its role is somewhat singular, the artifact you brought with you is like a demon with a legendary ability to deceive people's hearts. ”
Dumbledore frowned, "It can penetrate your heart, and grasp the point you desire most to bewitch you, so that you can follow its temptation and temptation little by little in the direction it desires without realizing it." ”
"Looks like it just failed." Tang Bai's vague compliment is not straightforward, but combined with what happened before and Dumbledore's assertions, it is easy for people to understand the unfinished meaning.
It failed, naturally saying that Dumbledore was sober enough to resist its demagoguery.
"I'm just wary of it at your reminder. What's more, for an old man like me, there are not many things in this world that can still interest me. Dumbledore winked at Tang Bai: "Even the most demagogic demon is helpless against an old man who is almost desireless. ”
Tang Bai was stunned for a moment and nodded.
With Dumbledore's status and prestige at the moment, he could indeed say such things calmly and indifferently.
Strength?
No one before or after would dare not say it, but in this era, Dumbledore is said to be the pinnacle of wizarding power, and no one will object. Even the mighty Dark Lord never won even once against Dumbledore.
Power?
Again, that's the same sentence. If Dumbledore had been loyal to power, with his status and prestige, he would have been in the prime of wizarding years ago. He is qualified to claim the most powerful position in the wizarding world. With his means and ability, as well as his network prestige, there are almost no people who can restrain him at that time.
But Dumbledore was always at Hogwarts, in his own one-third of an acre. Maybe Dumbledore had something else in mind, or wanted to be a person behind the scenes, but this slight possibility was just a thought. Even if it's not the Minister of the Ministry of Magic. There really aren't too many wizards in the wizarding world who are happy to support Dumbledore and serve him to the death.
If Dumbledore really had a heart, he single-handedly created the Order of the Phoenix. In a short period of time, it will become a place that surpasses the Death Eater organization, and even rivals the British Ministry of Magic, so that many high-level wizards with power in their hands have to retreat.
As for rebellion?
Joke.
Leave aside pure-blood wizarding families such as Malfoy who have opinions about Dumbledore's style of doing things. And how many low-level wizards are happy. Or dare to stand against Dumbledore?
Over the past few decades, Dumbledore and his friends and subordinates have taught a considerable number of students who have become elite leaders in various fields in the wizarding world. Coupled with the respect of their parents and mothers, as well as their grandparents' respect for Dumbledore, Dumbledore's influence in the wizarding world, especially in the British wizarding world, is really not too great.
As for the rebellion of the pure-blood families, most of them were in conflict with Dumbledore's ideas, from Malfoy and others to Voldemort's side. Since joining the Death Eaters, they have been enemies of Dumbledore.
And Dumbledore's original intention and consistent purpose in creating the Order of the Phoenix. It was only to curb the growing and unscrupulous organization of Death Eaters. After all, at that time, the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic alone could not fundamentally contain and stop those Death Eaters.
Otherwise, Tang Bai really couldn't imagine that Dumbledore would have anything that would make him feel valued. In the eyes of most low-level wizards, Dumbledore, who has great power, high prestige, profound knowledge, and achievements in various fields that others cannot achieve in his life, is perfect like a saint without flaws and flaws.
Of course, there can't be any perfect person in this world.
But there are people who have repented and made themselves saints.
Dumbledore also had a disgraceful past and his own regrets, which could be weaknesses in his heart. But from the fact that he was able to quickly wake up from the bewitchment of the Seagod Trident, it obviously proved that he was relaxed and open-minded.
"This seal-type rune structure of yours is very good, and it can effectively block its power. I don't know if someone who can make such a seal still needs to ask me for help? Dumbledore stretched out his hand and gently stroked the iron box containing the Seagod Trident on the headmaster's table, and the eyes behind the glasses glanced at Tang Bai lightly, and said.
"If it can't complete its own seal, this kind of sealing style will have limitations and hidden dangers after all." Tang Bai said calmly: "Now this sealing style is very effective, but the effect is only to isolate the influence of this artifact on people. ”
"According to Mr. Bogin, even if there is no external force, the seal gap that has been unsealed above will continue to expand. In other words, even if no one helps it, it can still eat away the broken seal. It's just that it takes a lot more time than it takes to have a wizard help it. ”
"I've tried a lot of things, and I've even engraved a technique on the seal of this box to keep out the entry of external forces, but it doesn't seem to have any obvious effect. In a way, it's not just a weapon, it's a perfect energy cycle. That is, it does not depend on those energies that are moving through the air from the outside. ”
Tang Bai spread his hands.
The Trident of the Sea God is even more troublesome than the Bible of the Dead in Anubis. Although the Bibles of the Dead originally had this energy cycle supply property similar to the Trident of the Sea God. This is known from the fact that an ordinary person can hold it and unleash a powerful spell power.
But this property of the Bible of the Dead is based on the underworld established by Anubis. Without the existence of Anubis Underworld, its power would have been greatly reduced, and it would even have to rely on external forces, or even the power of the user itself, to supply its users to cast the spells recorded on it.
Just like Tang Bai built a coordinate gate in the night world, the Bible of the Dead used the power of Tang Bai and Xiaolong themselves, as well as the divine power that Anubis had given him before, and the power that Tang Bai obtained by using the blood sacrifice.
If the Bible of the Dead still had the same power as in the mummy world at that time, Tang Bai would not have had to spend so much time and waste so much time to lay it out at the beginning, waiting for the right time.
But the power circulation and supply system of the Seagod's trident are not something that Tang Bai can figure out today. The Bible of the Dead is a commentary on Anubis's doubts. But Anubis also said that every god is unique, and every artifact is the same as its owner.
"Do you know its owner?" Dumbledore raised his eyes and looked at Tang Bai seriously.
"I can't say that I know, I can only say that I have heard some ancestral legends at home." Tang Bai's face remained unchanged and replied, "But I can guarantee that my description of the owner of this artifact is absolutely not false. If you need some powerful magical contract to prove it, I'm happy to accept your doubts. ”
"I can't give you and Bojin any guarantees. Even if it was an artifact, I couldn't speculate if Nick would be interested. He is much more indifferent than me in many things. I can only help you talk about it. Dumbledore thought for a moment and gave Tang Bai a reply.
"I'm very satisfied that you didn't say no again." Tang Bai smiled and nodded. He knew that once Dumbledore agreed and valued something, then he would naturally continue to pay attention to it and watch for it. As long as Dumbledore's attention can be aroused, many worries can be let go and people can become reassured.
This can be known from Dumbledore's attitude towards Voldemort.
This is a smart man who is scheming, rigorous and well-thought-out.
It's not that Dumbledore doesn't want to deal with Voldemort himself, it's that he can't do it himself.
This inability is not only because Dumbledore is no longer at the peak of his own strength, but also because of Voldemort's cunning and avoidance.
Why was Hogwarts, with Dumbledore at the helm, considered one of the safest places by many wizards, even during Voldemort's wreaking havoc?
Because Voldemort was reluctant to come face to face with Dumbledore, he was avoiding the only person he was afraid and feared!
Even when Voldemort was at his peak, Dumbledore had aged a lot, and it was no longer the peak of his own strength, Voldemort never dared to take it seriously, did not escape, did not play any tricks to fight Dumbledore. This is because Voldemort knew very well that he was still inferior to Dumbledore in terms of understanding and attainment of magic.
With Voldemort always avoiding him, Dumbledore had to deal with Voldemort in another way. That is to train a successor, pave the way for him step by step, influence him step by step, train him, and finally replace him to complete his decisive battle with Voldemort.
This person must have a certain amount of talent and be worth cultivating, as well as a dodge that Voldemort can't always avoid as much as he dodges him.
Dumbledore was delighted to wait for such a person.
Harry Potter, the wonder boy who never dies. His own bloodline gave him enough understanding and talent for magic, and he had a reason and characteristics that Voldemort could not avoid again. So Dumbledore gambled his life with it.
Regardless of his purpose behind Harry's training, or whether he really paid so much attention to Harry's life and death, he finally won the battle against Voldemort. (To be continued......)
