Chapter Seventy-One: Interaction

Kane doesn't think he's a good guy, but he thinks he still has some good qualities.

Like, be as honest as possible.

At the pawnshop, he told the truth to the straight man Owen.

He didn't intend to stay behind the scenes, to be a sinister manipulator.

Instead, it is to declare to the world with a righteous and bright light: whether you accept it or not, this is me.

Of course, that doesn't mean he likes to appear as a surprise or a scare.

Therefore, foreshadowing and a suitable opportunity are essential.

Dumbledore's visit was an opportunity.

Yesterday, after finishing his conversation with the guide and before leaving, he glanced outside the secret realm and sensed that someone had arrived.

He guessed at the time that it might be Dumbledore.

Only Dumbledore can observe the celestial phenomena at Hogwarts and know that something is happening here.

Sure enough, not long after, Dumbledore's letter arrived.

He felt that since Dumbledore had this in mind, it was time to take the opportunity to communicate in depth.

There are some things that can't be blamed on others for being suspicious, the rise of the Shafiq family is extraordinary in itself, whether it is speed or height, it is not something that can be explained by a single financier.

Anyone with a little brain can figure out that Pandora, who was kicked out of her home and lived in the Muggle world, did not have the basic conditions to deepen her knowledge of magic.

And Catherine, her life experience has been observed by many well-intentioned people with a magnifying glass, even who she admired in school, who she was pursued, and what troubles she had, and even how many points she scored in a certain school year's potions course.

Just like Kane told her: from now on, learn to live in the spotlight.

Being noticed, doxxed, and very little privacy can be kept, these troubles are the price of being famous.

After the life course is seen thoroughly, no one will think that Catherine is the technical leader of the rise of the Shafiq family.

Then that's all that's left for Kane.

Although the foreshadowing began early in the morning.

Although the International Confederation of Magic awarded Kane the Order of Merlin of the First Class for Black Hemp and Demon Tears, adding to his aura, making him the youngest Potions Master who has never been seen before, and probably will never come in the future.

However, no one wanted to believe that this was the truth, including Dumbledore.

If he had written, he would not have sent Kane an offer of admission, because that would be tantamount to humiliating himself.

"There is a saying in the East, 'If you have ambition, you will not be old, and if you have no ambition, you will live a hundred years old.'" In fact, there is a similar saying in the United Kingdom, and people also admit that life is more important than quantity. But in reality, most people still prefer to treat these truths as just words. ”

Kane said as he calmly descended the marble staircase.

At that moment, Dumbledore and Minerva felt like a proud adult scholar with elegant conversation but a little bit of flaunting.

Interestingly, if you understand it this way, it goes well with the scene, the atmosphere, and even Catherine's presence. This is where the man of this castle comes in.

"Greetings Lord Dumbledore, Miss McGonagall, welcome both. First of all, I would like to apologize for not being able to meet the distance, I am dealing with a little remnant of yesterday's accident. In addition, I also think that the two of you can find some problems here through your own observations, so that the conversation will not be too abrupt, and you can skip a lot of foreshadowing and save each other's time. ”

Kane said with a bow, as the actual heir to the title of Barony of the Highlands, the helmsman of the Demon Eye Chamber of Commerce, and the winner of the Order of Merlin of the First Class, he has the ability to be on an equal footing with any wizard, including Dumbledore, and now this etiquette is practiced in this qualification, otherwise he has to bow down to pay a salute to be considered rude.

Dumbledore and Minerva also quickly adjusted their form, addressing Kane as Mister.

Although this title can be obtained by young wizards as soon as they enter the school, in fact, every number of people take it seriously, including the young wizards themselves, and rarely care.

The subtext of this title is that you should know the minimum truth, and you need to bear the consequences for your words and actions.

But now is different from the past, there is no need for the children of the poor to be in charge of the house early, to be a father at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and to die a normal death after twenty years.

So the word sir was applied to the little wizard, and it became frivolous and became a kind of false courtesy.

But Dumbledore and McGonagall did not show this 'vanity' now, solemn, formal, with a good attitude and full of emotions.

Kane secretly gave a thumbs up.

Not because the two recognized his qualifications, but because he felt that this kind of ability to quickly twist his mind and accept a certain possibility was precisely the basic quality of a strong person.

Only with a strong heart can we have a good attitude and deal with it calmly.

The kind of people who don't believe it, or are shocked and inexplicable, shouting 'How is this possible!', can only say that they don't even have the strength to admit the truth, and they are all over in an instant.

With such a preposition, the subsequent communication was simpler, after a shallow shy greeting and mutual compliments, Catherine and McGonagall, and Pandora, who appeared later, had some conversations between women, while Dumbledore and Kane, the real head of the family, were conversations between gentlemen.

Kane didn't show Dumbledore yesterday's battlefield footage, but Nerva, Faust, the gray-haired old man, and the witch hunters were still presented to them one by one in small short clips of captured footage.

Dumbledore also shook a little dry goods accordingly, pointing out that the gray-haired old man should be the rumored Lestrange family guardian Alan, and Nerva is also a rumored celebrity, although there is no shortage of anecdotes, but Dumbledore knows some valuable information, such as what Nerva really experienced, what the family environment is like, etc.

"Hearing you say that, I'll sort out my thoughts. ”

Kane commented: "What Nerva wants is to regain faith in this materialistic world through extraordinary means. ”

"Allen is a fighting dog who is habitually obstructive and refuses to give in easily. ”

"Faust's mind seems to be the most complicated. I don't quite believe he's the kind of guy who risks his life for the sake of a debt, at least not that pure. ”

Kane pondered: "Faust is not short of small money, nor does he have a high desire for power, and he is not the kind of thief who robs the rich and helps the poor and spreads his monopoly technology, so why is he?"

Dumbledore put down the black teacup doubled with honey and answered, "Maybe it's for information." It is rumored that his beloved, who was terminally ill and could not find a cure, was sealed in an ice coffin by him. ”

"I can understand the hope that ancient potions will save lives. I can't understand the way it is taken. Would you rather believe that people do their best under duress, rather than through normal negotiations and transactions, and if this is the case, then it is unusual for him to repeatedly try to protect Allen. ”

"If you really have a certain degree of cure, you may be able to ask the other party out to communicate, after all, he is already one of the few people in the wizarding world who is proficient in elemental magic. ”

Kane analyzed: "Faust showed the power of the earth element this time, and also had the characteristics of dark corruption, and performed the skill of 'earth swimming fish', if the rumors of the ice coffin are true, then from the mutant ice element of water and wind, to the mutant mud element of water and soil, doing such a thankless job, and contacting dark corruption, I think what he needs to solve should also include the problem of retrieving the soul from the underworld." ”

Dumbledore frowned, he also had a little study of elemental magic, knew the opposing qualities of the elements, and knew that dark corruption meant studying death.

If it's the former, it's just a cost of work and more than worth the loss, but that's its own business. Then the latter will definitely affect others. Research, starting with observation, followed by various tests, is inseparable from a concept that creates death, that is, killing.

And a wizard who has fallen into this state can only say that the more powerful he is, the more he will be in trouble.

Dumbledore said to himself, "It seems that France also has its own Dark Lord!"

Kane's mind conjured up with the young man with a sad expression, and he said to himself, "Maybe those who show people are all disguises......
