259. Recognize magic
"You're one of the most gifted little wizards I've ever met."
Magos, who had just put down the box, was stunned when he heard this, and didn't understand what he meant by this.
Lupin looked at his expression and smiled.
"Headmaster Dumbledore told me a few things about you, I found you to be very similar to a friend of mine, but you know how to respect others more than he does, maybe it has something to do with your birth environment, so you will definitely have more friends than enemies in the future."
After speaking, the smile on his face slowly retracted.
"But what you are subconsciously afraid of is that your friends will become enemies, I am a little curious why you have such thoughts, can you tell me about it?"
McGoth tried to prevaricate him with the same rhetoric he had given Hermione.
Lupin shook his head,
"Mr. Will, you're smart, but you've forgotten I'm the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor. Since you don't want to say it, then I don't want to force you, I just hope you can remember and don't squander your talents. ”
Then he smiled and thanked him for helping him bring the box.
After coming out of Lupin's office, McGoth realized from his words that something might be serious, he thought about it, and felt that even if Lupin didn't tell Dumbledore about the scene, Dumbledore would know the situation from the young wizards at that time, and instead of waiting for him to ask him, it would be better to go directly to him to solve his puzzles.
In the Headmaster's office, Dumbledore thought that Magos had come to inquire about the sword, and before he could speak, he placed the two-handed greatsword and the Gryffindor sword on the desk in front of him.
"Can you tell the difference from them?"
The curiosity of the two-handed greatsword made him temporarily suppress the idea of asking. But after looking at it for a while, he tried to say.
"They are different widths?"
Dumbledore smiled and shook his head, he picked up the Sword of Gryffindor,
"If you've been in touch with it for a long time, you'll feel its magic. But it,"
He put down the sword of Gryffindor and took the greatsword,
"I can't feel the slightest bit of magic."
"Could it be that magic was more powerful in ancient times than it is now?"
McGoth himself didn't believe in this, and he didn't experience the so-called end of the Dharma era, how could things in thousands of years be not as good as those thousands of years ago.
"It should be a kind of recognition magic, like the popular confession ritual at that time."
"So it recognizes me as Lord?" McGoth was suddenly a little excited, thinking that he would donate some more blood later?
"The so-called magic of recognition is not what you think." Dumbledore glanced at him, as if he knew what he was thinking.
"Blood, rituals, bloodlines and so on are all for ordinary people who don't understand magic, no matter how powerful a weapon is, it is also made of materials, why would a Muggle think that if you drop a few drops of blood on it, or make some kind of ritual, it can only use it yourself? Wouldn't anyone else be able to stab someone else with it? ”
McGoth scoffed, he thought it was true. Then he asked, confused.
"And what is the magic of recognition? I haven't seen anything like this in a book. ”
"Because there is no need, first of all, this magic is difficult to cast, it is very complicated, and it can only be used for dead things, and secondly, it also has high requirements for materials, in addition to the extremely high ability to guide magic, it also needs a material with a very high sense of magic, which is very rare and precious, and it is completely violent to use to build weapons."
"And the Recognition Magic isn't as magical as Muggles think, it's more like a set requirement, and as long as you meet that requirement, it will help you."
"So I didn't inadvertently meet its requirements at the time? But I didn't do anything. ”
"No, you did, remember you wrote that it was possible for the other party to attack your father. And that's what it requires. ”
"Justice? Protection? "He's not so sure.
"To be precise, it is protection or sacrifice, you should have had the idea of protecting your family with your life at that time."
Magos nodded, looking at the greatsword with some surprise.
"Is it really the sword?"
"The sword in the stone, of course, is not the legendary one."
Dumbledore's words confused him, could it be that the legendary sword in the stone has two swords?
"The legendary sword in stone is actually a sharper ordinary steel sword, and legend has it that Merlin got it somewhere and gave it to King Arthur. So it's a magic sword. ”
"Merlin?" McGoth felt that the grade of this sword was getting higher and higher, and at the same time, he felt that it was getting farther and farther away from him.
Dumbledore nodded, not going into detail about Merlin, the first wizard to appear in the legend.
"You can see it from the inscription on the sword. It is the sword of kings born for kings, and this sword is for victory and oath. ”
"Sword of Victory and Oath?" McGoth had a big groove in his heart, and this name was louder than the sword in the stone.
Dumbledore repeated the name and nodded,
"Very apt."
Then, under the salivating gaze of McGoss, he put the two swords back in the cupboard.
"I remember that you said in your letter that things will be returned to their rightful owners."
Dumbledore quipped at Mygoth's gaze, then laughed and told him that he could take it with him at any time.
McGoth was overjoyed and respectfully thanked.
"I don't think you're going to take it with you right now."
Seeing that Magos hadn't left after thanking him, Dumbledore said with a smile.
Then McGoth explained the purpose of the next trip.
"Why do I feel like Professor Lupin thinks I'm going to do something angry in the future?"
Magos asked, looking at Dumbledore who was no longer smiling.
Dumbledore didn't answer the question, but asked with some seriousness.
"Have you heard of Greenwald?"
"Of course, before Voldemort, he was the world-famous Dark Lord."
Dumbledore was a little surprised that Magos knew about him, after all, Greenwald's Dark Arts Legion did not affect Britain at that time, coupled with the cover of the Ministry of Magic at that time, many ill-informed British wizards only knew that there was such a wizard, but they didn't know what he did, let alone compare him with Voldemort.
"Voldemort is really scary, but in my eyes he can't compare to Greenwald. He can only be described as a madman driven crazy by the world. Greenwald, on the other hand, is a dreamer who hates the aristocratic wizards, their stubbornness and inflexibility, and he wants to change all that, even if in the end he runs counter to his dreams. But one thing is clear to me is that he also had a lot of friends before he started his dream. ”
McGoth looked at Dumbledore stunned, did he and Lupin think he would become a wizard like Greenwald in the future? But on second thought, his desire to merge the wizarding world with the real world seemed even more difficult to achieve than his dream.
