Chapter 151: Tempting Each Other
When Pei Chen first entered the principal's office, he was more cautious, and when he came along the way, he would avoid people or things along the way, not wanting to cause more trouble. But when he left the principal's office, he hummed a tune and swaggered away, without the slightest intention of hiding.
Outside the door of the Headmaster's office, Professor McGonagall was standing outside with a stack of papers, ready to give the order, but the stone monster sprang out of the way, and a man walked out of it.
"Hello, the weather is really nice today, it's a good day for fighting...... Is that right? When the man saw her, he greeted her very warmly.
However, despite the friendly attitude of the other party, Professor McGonagall still felt like she was falling into an ice cellar, feeling stiff and cold all over her body. She wanted to subconsciously pull out her wand but failed, and saw that the man had already walked away.
Professor McGonagall calmed her restless heart, and the stinging nerves in her body seemed to calm down, and only then did she realize to her horror that she hadn't seen the man's face clearly, and the only thing that left her impression was a pair of blood-red vertical pupils, exuding the terrifying majesty of some kind of reptilian king.
To be more precise, dragons! She had only felt this way when she faced those terrifying dragons when she was not strong enough!
"It's ...... What's going on?! Who is that person? β
The tall witch who felt a little detached walked into the headmaster's room, and then saw the room that seemed to have gone through a terrible battle, the tables and chairs were shattered, the chandelier on the ceiling was all over the floor, and a large number of parchments, books, and some copywriting were scattered to the ground along with the shattering of the bookcase.
But that's not the most important thing, the important thing is that by the tattered windowsill, a white-bearded wizard is covering his bruised eyes and cracked mouth, inhaling breathlessly, it looks painful enough, if the injury deviates a little more, Dumbledore's nose that has already been broken twice is estimated to be added to it.
"What's going on?!" Professor McGonagall was furious, she couldn't believe that anyone could be presumptuous in the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and beat the Headmaster like this.
"Relax, it's just a small injury, it's just a little pain......," Dumbledore waved his hand disappreciatively, "And it's just a small hand-to-hand fight, don't take it so seriously......"
However, Professor McGonagall didn't listen to him much, but turned her head to look around, and saw that the portraits on the walls were all protected, and then she breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "What about Fawkes?" β
"Oh, he sent him out...... Oh my God, what a grumpy young man......" Dumbledore smiled wryly and pointed out the window, a fiery red light was flying back, accompanied by a crisp and loud birdsong, although the sound was clear, but anyone could hear the monstrous anger contained in it.
"What the hell is going on?!" Professor McGonagall asked again.
"Very simple thing...... Dumbledore walked back to the table, waved his hand to restore the broken table and chair to its original state, and sat down. Since it's a negotiation, it's always a matter of showing off each other's muscles......"
That's right, if they are not equal to each other, then what is there to talk about?
"And you lost?" Professor McGonagall said coldly, "Also, who was that guy just now?" β
ββ¦β¦ I don't know, from the East, and ...... Not people. The whitebearded wizard's eyes flickered as he spoke.
"What?! How could it be ......" Professor McGonagall's voice jerked up, but then she thought of the blood-colored eyes that she had been unable to forget, and suddenly stopped talking. To be sure, Professor McGonagall, as the Head of Gryffindor and the Deputy Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, is among the best in the wizarding world.
And if you want her to have the kind of reaction she had before, either she has the strength to rival Dumbledore or the person who can't even say the name, oh, Greenwald of Germany, the former Dark Lord is also one. Either that, or the other party is a non-human creature that is more than ten times more dangerous than a real adult dragon.
"Nothing is impossible, existence is reasonable...... After all, he came from that mysterious country in the East, and the wizarding world has not been able to put its hand into it until now, and it is not too surprising if the legendary creatures of that country really exist......" Dumbledore said, "But don't worry, we haven't completely torn our faces between us, and there is no need and no possibility to go any further......"
"But he's dangerous!" Professor McGonagall insisted on her opinion, it doesn't matter what camp that person is, it is enough to know that he is dangerous.
"Yes, it's like a dragon, no, it's much stronger than a dragon, it's too dangerous...... That's not the point, though, as long as he doesn't make a move or be hostile to Harry, then that's all acceptable. Professor McGonagall, go get ready and welcome our 'new colleague'. Dumbledore was silent for a moment, then said, biting the words 'new colleague' very hard.
This shows that he has made a decision.
"New colleagues? You're going to hire him as a professor? Professor McGonagall couldn't believe her ears, and looked at Dumbledore with a youkai-like expression, as if wondering if he had been brain-broken during the brief battle.
"Didn't Professor Sylvanos Kettleburn get bitten on the leg before? We need to take a break and we can just in time for him to be the professor of the Magical Creature Protection class. Dumbledore said.
Anyway, the first grade didn't have a curriculum for the magical creature protection class, and it was a disguised isolation of the dangerous person's contact with Harry Potter, so they were much more relieved. Knowing this, Professor McGonagall's face looked a lot better, as long as there was a reason, then the greatest white wizard in the world could not go wrong - no matter what the others thought, she believed it anyway, and didn't interfere too much.
"I'm going to go through the onboarding process...... By the way, Headmaster Dumbledore, what's his name? Where should I go to find him? β
"He said his name was mercury...... Of course, this can't be your real name. As for where you're going to find him......" Whitebeard's face became a little subtle at the question, "I think you can take a look around the Room of Requirement." β
"Got a room to ask for? How could he have known such a place?! The tall witch raised her eyebrows obviously, the other party even knew some secrets in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, should she and the others be properly vigilant?
"I heard it was from Peeves, you know, those ghosts always know too much." Dumbledore obviously didn't really want to mention it, and vaguely said it.
Hogwarts Castle is home to many ghosts, the oldest of which can be traced back thousands of years to the time of the four founders. For example, Barrow the Bloody, a resident ghost of Slytherin, died by killing Helena Ravenclaw, the daughter of Rowena Ravenclaw, and then committing suicide. Although it is a bit crazy to be able to live in someone else's house for a thousand years without nothing after killing someone's daughter, there is no doubt that he is a ghost from a thousand years ago.
And these ghosts have lived in Hogwarts Castle for so long, and if you talk about the level of knowledge about this castle, they are indeed the most detailed. Even the previous principals combined may not be able to overpower a ghost with a history of more than 200 years in this regard.
But......
"Peeves? Would that ghost tell him this secret so easily? How did he inquire? But Professor McGonagall, who knew the Peeves' urine, couldn't believe that the ghost was so easy to discuss, and persistently asked.
The Whitebearded Wizard was silent for a long time before he finally spoke slowly, "...... It's true, he beat Peeves, and then heard. β
ββ¦β¦β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
After leaving the principal's office, he walked down the stairs quickly, the throbbing sensation of his blood gradually fell silent again after leaving the battle state, as if nothing had happened, and Pei Chen's pupils returned to normal.
He touched his body, feeling the feeling of the dark wound instantly collapsed in the face of the terrifying recovery power, and it was fully healed and repaired. It's as if he easily crushed Gandalf in the narrow space of the room with the violent flow of his iron fist...... Ahem, I mean Dumbledore was the same as his bird, and Dumbledore gave him a few hard shades.
Although Pei Chen is also a powerful magical creature from the mainstream point of view of this world because of his bloodline, his own magic resistance is higher than that of a dragon. But after all, the other party is a legend who has been famous for a long time, known as the greatest white wizard of the century, how can there be no powerful hole cards?
Even if it occupies a narrow space, the other party almost forced himself to reveal his demon body, and I have to say that it is indeed a very terrifying existence. If it's on an open terrain, combined with that strange phoenix, it really doesn't have to be who fights whom!
"That wand...... Definitely quirky! β
Seeing that the negative buffs of one item in his status bar were disappearing rapidly over time, and his vitality was gradually recovering to full, Pei Chen's face was a little gloomy. Perhaps the average person wouldn't find Dumbledore's wand anything strange, but he was different, and he could see it.
Inhuman aliens, that is, legends and fantasy in the general sense, this kind of creature is born with a different perspective from ordinary humans, and they can see the so-called 'reality of the world'!!
In Pei Chen's field of vision, as long as he pays a little attention, he will see that items with special powers will emit different colors and different brightnesses, and the strength of this spell aura is also determined by the quality of the itemβat least most of them.
He usually sees a lot of things with aura, especially in this magical scene, it is very likely that a magic book has a very gorgeous magic aura, and he can also determine whether it is valuable or something according to the brightness and color purity of this aura.
And the most usually seen is the magic wand, and the magic aura emitted by different wands is also different, but in general, there is not much difference, only a few magic wands are exceptions in Pei Chen's eyes - for example, Ron Weasley's old wand, that faint magic aura is simply a candle in the wind, and you can't see it if you don't pay attention to it or take it seriously.
However, the magic aura emitted by Dumbledore's wand really shocked Pei Chen, and he felt that his retina was almost burning and burning with just one glance! Five-star or six-star gear?!
It can't be some god prop in this world, right?!
That kind of dazzling magic aura, no matter what the grade star of that wand is, but Pei Chen can be sure that the super magic power it adds to must be terrifying, maybe the person holding that wand can penetrate the thick skin of the dragon with a simple cutting spell.
