Chapter 5 (Catching Insects)

"Of course." Although he was dissatisfied with Dumbledore's behavior of involving minors in the war, he had to admit that he was a very convincing and charismatic old man.

"All the qiē originates from the control of zhì force." Gail thought back to when he first came into contact with magic. "You know, we're not in a good place here. Children of our age will get hungry very quickly. But Mrs. Green had sold a lot of jewelry, and we had to go on a diet, or rather, in an orphanage. So I went out and looked for work. Find withered branches and sell them for money after making them fresh. Repair fences, mow lawns, and mop cars for people in the neighborhood neighborhood. Then I figured out how to make myself more effortless, and gradually learned to control them to achieve the effect I wanted, and it became what I am today. ”

"Well, that's a wonderful theory, isn't it?" Dumbledore seemed to think of something, a little confused, "How did you come up with it?" You know, it is undoubtedly a very dangerous thing to cast magic and silent spells without using a wand. This will affect the growth of the mana cycle in your body and can even turn you into a squib. Oh, and the Squibs are wizards who can't use magic for some reason. ”

Gail thought for a moment, "Mr. Headmaster, can you tell me about the origin of magic?" And where is the source of my magic? ”

"A studious little gentleman!" Dumbledore seemed pleased that Gale could ask such a question, and he did not hesitate to give advice.

"Wizards are the bloodline of magical creatures and humans. You know, none of us know if there were one or two people in our ancestors who had a trace of magical biological blood. Because of this, two children who are obviously ordinary people still have a certain chance of becoming wizards. And before the little wizard becomes an adult, there is an energy source in his body. This energy source allows the little wizard to inspire visions when he is emotionally excited. It's like protecting you when you fall down a tree. ”

Listening to Dumbledore's words, Gale touched his chin and thought. He always thought that the energy in his body was "spiritual power", but it was actually "magic power". But the source of magic is blood, that is, magical creatures.

Well, if it's a magical creature, Gail thought, maybe it's a "demon". Like Dumbledore's Fawkes, it's the Phoenix. Although it was recorded thousands of years ago, maybe the current phoenix has evolved or degenerated?

So the reason why I have magic power is because I have the blood of a "demon" in this body? If you think about it like this, it seems that you can explain why you are operating according to the way of cultivation, and the magic power has not exploded!

To put it simply, the energy source in one's body, to put it bluntly, is a demon pill bred by bloodline inheritance. That's right, it's the Demon Pill! There is no better way to describe it!

In the beginning, it was the demon pill as an energy source that saved his life. Ordinary wizards, under the guidance of the school, come to make the demon pill grow, and thicken their own power, to become a wizard, that is, a more powerful half-demon. And after he first perceived the existence of power, he began to use the demon pill and used the demon pill as a basis to cultivate the truth.

Judging from the fact that he is still alive and well, it shows that he is in the right direction. In other words, in fact, he is a demon cultivator in the process of transforming into a human cultivator! If you really transfer to human cultivation, maybe you can really live forever!

For a moment, Dumbledore noticed that the expression on Gail's face had changed a few times, and then he froze on a smirk, and suddenly deeply realized the feeling of "I'm old". Why didn't he understand where his words could make the other party giggle?

"Good headmaster! I'd love to attend Hogwarts! Let's go buy books and robes! But I hope to come back to the hospital every year! My friends, the dean's wife, and the nuns will miss me! I'm very popular! Gail is now in a state of excitement that has finally cleared the fog and seen a better future.

Dumbledore was relieved that Gale was significantly different from another genius who also came from an orphanage. But faintly, it's a little sad. He was saddened that he had chosen that way to scare the child. If he had to do it again, he wouldn't have put on a hostile posture so simply. In this case, perhaps there would not be the person who is now called the "Duke".

But it was clear that Gail's excitement also encouraged the old man. Although it is not very clear why Gail was excited, the old man decided to trust his instincts and showed the greatest tolerance and kindness to the child: "Yes, yes! We're going to go shopping today. Oh, and don't bring money! All your expenses are from the school. Seeing Gale pull out a candy wrapper box that was a bit old from under the bed, and took out some Muggle pounds and pennies from it, Dumbledore said quickly.

"Principal, I appreciate the generosity of the school. I will pay off the tuition and fees after I graduate. I just thought, maybe I can buy some nice candy or something. The last time I bought candy was half a year ago! ”

Dumbledore remembered what Mrs. Green had said, and his heart was rarely soft, so he acquiesced to Gael's behavior: "I recommend a candy called 'Earl Milk Candy'. It's delicious and won't freak out your friends. Of course, things like Chocolate Frog and Bibi Beans are also good and you can try them for yourself. ”

"Yes, I don't want to be taken into the real yàn room for dissection!" Gale still hadn't shaken out his excitement, but he understood what Dumbledore meant.

Although Dumbledore did not know the specific meaning of "real room" and "dissection", he still guessed that this was the way Muggles treat wizards today. He felt that he had been focusing on the Duke of Darkness so much lately that he didn't know much about the Muggle world. But that's what he's going to know when he gets back. Now, he wants to accompany the child to buy things for school.

Walking through the ruined cauldron bar, which was obviously in poor hygiene, Gale really couldn't help but complain to Dumbledore: "You know, if Mrs. Green sees such a situation in the courtyard, she will definitely be furious!" She said that a clean living environment is the foundation of good health. Ask for a kitchen that must be extra clean! ”

"Mrs. Green is a stern lady, isn't she?" Dumbledore winked his eyes at Gail, "There's also a lady in the school who looks a bit like Mrs. Green, a professor who teaches Transfiguration and the vice-principal. ”

"Is it Professor McGonagall? The one on the notice? Gale asked knowingly, and got Dumbledore to return with certainty.

"Well, then she must be like Mrs. Green, she likes dark clothes, and her hair is not messy! Oh, and I found out that Mrs. Green actually loves cats, but because she already has so many of us, she doesn't want to have cats anymore. Gale remembered Mrs. Green's attitude towards the cats running into the yard, and said to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore listened and let out a happy laugh, "Yes! Love cats! ”

Arriving at the brick wall, Dumbledore took out his wand and opened the entrance to Diagon Alley.

Gale looked at the alley that looked like a medieval winding path with admiration, and felt that the excitement in the movie was really less than one-tenth of the place.

Many of the shops on both sides are small doors, but when you look through the windows, you can see that the space inside is the size of a basketball court, and there are several doors leading to another room.

"Come on, let's go and redeem Huàn Galleon first." Dumbledore led Gale through Diagon Alley to Gringotts.

The two of them exchanged all the money in Gail's hand into gold Galleons. Gale looked at the money bag with the spell in his hand, and thought about the novel he had read in his previous life, and affirmed the idea of bankrupting Gringotts by cashing huàn. The amount of gold galleons in his own hands, if viewed purely as gold, is already worth more than the pound.

Now it's probably only 1971, so the value is only about 1.8 times higher, but it's enough for him to make a fortune. But he doesn't have a lot of pounds in his hands right now. If it is changed little by little, it is easy to arouse Gringotts' vigilance in the early stage to reduce the exchange rate. So Gail thought about it and decided to put the idea down for the time being.

"Well, this is Madame Morkin's clothing store. Let's make school uniforms. After cashing out the Golden Galleons, Dumbledore took Gale here.

"Hello Mr. Headmaster!" Madame Morkin was a smiling woman who greeted Dumbledore very kindly, "Oh, it's rare to come and pick up the students in person." This one may be a Gryffindor! ”

"Hello ma'am!" Gale greeted Mrs. Morkin with a smile, "I think I'm more likely a Hufflepuff." ”

"Oh, Hufflepuff kids are good boys!" Madame Morkin was not at all offended by the rebuttal, "Come, little sir, stand on the stool and let the ruler measure you." ”

"My kid, you wait here for a while, I'll go buy you the books you need to use, so it can save some time, okay?" Dumbledore asked Gael, who was being "insulted" by a ruler.

Gail thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay." ”

Dumbledore was significantly more efficient than Hagrid, who had picked up Harry decades later. Gale hadn't come down from the stool yet, and Dumbledore had already returned.

"Now, then, let's go buy a wand and come back to get the uniform." Dumbledore said to Gale after Madame Morkin ripped off all the rulers that were wrapped around Gayle and didn't want to come down.

In front of the wand shop, Gail sees the Evans family. And their lead was Professor McGonagall.
