When Zhang Hao came to the Headmaster's Office, Dumbledore was pacing back and forth.

This old man seems to be very preoccupied, most old people are already enjoying family fun at this age, who will think about fighting and killing like him?

It was because of this sacrifice that he was able to contribute so much to the wizarding world.

No matter how many people from the outside world smear him, one thing is certain, no one in the British wizarding community can erase his exploits.

"Professor?" Zhang Hao said softly, "You seem to be bothered by something?"

As he spoke, he began to look at the headmaster's office again.

The Headmaster's Room is so large that it seems to occupy the tip of an entire tower.

There was a wall covered with photos of previous principals, and they all looked at Zhang Hao.

And Fawkes, the famous phoenix. It looks spirited and a bit like a big with a strong man.

"Oh, you're here?" Dumbledore came back to his senses and said gently, "When you're older, you can't help but think about it. Can you tell me about it? You don't seem to be there. ”

"yes! I really shouldn't be there. Zhang Hao knew where it was, and he said calmly: "I want to get the Philosopher's Stone, you should see this." ”

Dumbledore blinked his eyes and motioned for Zhang Hao to continue.

"Originally, I wanted to steal the Philosopher's Stone, as did Harry's plan. Zhang Hao seemed to feel that this idea was a little ridiculous, so he couldn't help laughing: "The difference is that I really want to keep it for myself, and Harry is here to protect it." ”

"Oh! I'm amazed at your honesty!" said Dumbledore, surprised, "I thought you would make up some other reason, and many people do." ”

"Yes, but I won't. Zhang Hao said with emotion: "A liar can only deceive those who trust him, and you didn't use the Regent to me, so I don't plan to overdraw your trust." ”

He knows Occlumency, and he's always preparing for today's meeting.

But after the meeting, I realized that the previous preparations seemed to be too sensitive.

Dumbledore didn't use the Regents, at least not as soon as they met.

In other words, no matter what the considerations, before this moment, Dumbledore still trusted Zhang Hao.

Trust between people is built by mutual honesty, and any lie can cause hard-won trust to fall apart.

Self-righteousness and self-pretending to be clever can only fool ordinary people, and people who treat others as fools are usually played by others as fools.

It's hard to believe that these words can be heard from the mouth of a child. Dumbledore also sighed: "Many adults don't understand your life, if people can have absolute trust between people, I believe most people will live an easy life." ”

"What the hero sees is the same!" Zhang Hao asked with a smile, "Then can you give me the Philosopher's Stone?"

Dumbledore laughed dumbly, he shook his head, and said helplessly, "The Philosopher's Stone does not belong to me, it belongs to my friend Nicol Lemay. ”

"I'm sorry, I forgot. Zhang Hao asked again: "Then can you introduce me to it?" I really want to learn alchemy, I don't have to get the magic stone in your hand, it would be better if I could make one myself. ”

"Oh, that's a big idea. Dumbledore shook his head and smiled, "I'll ask Nicol, but I'm not sure if he'll give you the Philosopher's Stone." Why do you have to have the Philosopher's Stone, do you want to live forever, or do you want to have infinite wealth?"

"You should know how much wealth I have, I have lost interest in it. Zhang Hao said in a big way: "I admit that I am very interested in immortality, there are so many beautiful things in this world, who is willing to abandon them one day?"

Dumbledore seemed to be reminded of some past events because of these words, and he was so immersed in the memories that his face was in a trance.

"Son, I know my statement seems strange to a man of your age. "For the sober-minded, death is but another great adventure," he said. You may not know that the Philosopher's Stone is not such a wonderful thing. With it, no matter how much wealth you want to have and how long you want to live, you can get what you want. ”

"These are the two things that humans want the most – the problem is that humans like to choose the things that are least beneficial to them. ”

"Uh, Professor, I see what you mean. It is true that people do have a common disease of not cherishing what is at their fingertips, and not wanting to give up what they want – but I am sure that I will not easily abandon wealth and life, and more precious things. Zhang Hao showed a subtle smile, and while teasing Fox, he said calmly: "I also have an extraordinary understanding of death. It was indeed a great adventure, and if I hadn't experienced it, how could I have achieved something out of the ordinary?"

At this moment, the child's body could no longer bind the soul of the great shore.

Zhang Hao's whole person seemed to be a lot taller, at least Dumbledore couldn't see him as a child anymore.

"Oh, you've been torn between life and death?" Dumbledore was surprised again, but then relieved. He muttered, "yes, that's it, a lot of people have been in a near-death state. Some people die out completely in this state, while others come back to life. Many of those who have survived have achieved achievements that are incomprehensible to ordinary people. ”

Zhang Hao was also dumbfounded, and the old man was obviously wrong. It's better to misunderstand.

"It is only by having incomprehensible circumstances that you can get unimaginable benefits. "Death is a great adventure, but I don't like to be passive. Maybe when I get impatient, I'll learn from your friends. Until then, I want to fight the Grim Reaper. You used to think that way, didn't you?"

He gestured to Dumbledore's desk, where there was a book. And on the title page of the book is a sign drawn on it, which is a sign made up of triangles, circles, and line segments.

Dumbledore glanced at the sign, then looked at Zhang Hao in a daze.

Zhang Hao knew in his heart that this old man might be comparing him with Lao Fu.

This is the most critical moment!

Survive the past, the sea and the sky;

Can't survive, the dragon is trapped in the shallows.

Zhang Hao didn't evade, he just looked at Dumbledore calmly.

"yes! I used to have that ambition too. After a long time, Dumbledore finally collected his gaze, and he said with some desolation, "I have lost a lot of ...... for this"

"Professor," Zhang Hao interrupted, "Then if you were given another chance, would you choose another path?"

Dumbledore froze again, and it was a long moment before he shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Hehe! Your question stumped me. He looked really embarrassed: "I don't know what to choose, I've lost something very precious and I've gained a lot of things." It's the difference between quality and quantity, and as long as you have a little bit of greed, you don't know what to choose. ”

"Look!" Zhang Hao smiled: "Even you don't know how to choose, why can't I challenge it? You did lose the most precious thing, but it could just be an accident? If you are cautious, will you avoid those accidents?"

Dumbledore looked at Zhang Hao and said in disbelief, "From your words, I feel like you are omniscient and omnipotent. Are you an eleven-year-old or not?"
