Chapter Eighty-Eight: First Encounter, Dumbledore!
Florin Cold Drink Shop!
A child and an old man sat in the corner of the store, smiling, looking at each other calmly, and no one spoke first.
Long!
When the cold drinks in front of the two of them have begun to change to room temperature.
"Ahem!"
Dumbledore, who couldn't sit still, coughed lightly twice to relieve the embarrassment, and then spoke first, "Young people now, you are so patient! β
"I'm not a young man yet!"
Li Kuan took a sip of the cold drink and said quietly.
"Uh..."
Listening to his words, Dumbledore glanced Li Kuan up and down, and for a while he didn't know what to say!
Truly!
Now Li Kuan can't be called a young man, he can only be regarded as a little kid!
But then, Dumbledore smiled as if he hadn't heard Li Kuan's words, and said with interest, "Then little one, should I call you Lee, or the grandson of Hagrid's classmates?" Or... What about the new werewolf tribal master? β
Li Kuan smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, please!" β
Li Kuan was not surprised that Dumbledore could find this!
After all, he's Dumbledore!
If he couldn't even find out these things that Li Kuan didn't hide at all, then Li Kuan would have to wonder how he fought Voldemort in the first place!
"Alright then, I'll call you Lee!" Dumbledore said with a smile.
Li Kuan nodded, and after agreeing, he said unhurriedly, "I don't know the famous Mr. Dumbledore, what is the matter with me?" β
In fact, at this time, Li Kuan already had an uncertain guess about the reason why Dumbledore suddenly found him!
Well, he hasn't done much in the wizarding world over the years, except for things like potions, reading books, etc., which are obviously not too noticeable, and there is only one thing that deserves Dumbledore's visit!
It's the last thing Dumbledore called Li Kuan, the master of the werewolf tribe!
"What does Lee think of the wizarding world right now?" Dumbledore didn't answer Li Kuan's question directly, but turned his gaze to the streets where people were bustling outside the cold drink shop!
"The wizarding world? That's great! Li Kuan followed his gaze and replied seemingly casually.
"That's... What do you think of the guy who can't even mention his name? Dumbledore smiled and looked at Li Kuan with a deep gaze.
"Whew!"
Li Kuan sneered disdainfully, and said, "Voldemort is Voldemort, what kind of person who can't even mention his name, I also know that his real name is Tom Riddle!" β
The reason why Voldemort's name cannot be mentioned is mainly because the Death Eaters have cast a spell on his name, and once someone mentions it, it will be sensed by the Death Eaters!
It was because of this spell that the Death Eaters quickly found the location of the enemy in the war with the wizards, causing great casualties to the wizards, and later the wizards invariably replaced Voldemort with a mysterious person and a person whose name could not be mentioned!
However, with Voldemort's death, the curse was long gone, and it would not appear again until Voldemort was resurrected.
Therefore, it doesn't matter if Li Kuan calls his name directly!
Of course, even if there is this curse, with Li Kuan's current strength and power, it doesn't matter if he calls the other party by name.
"Uh..."
A look of astonishment flashed across Dumbledore's face!
He didn't expect anyone to look at Voldemort with such disdain.
What I didn't expect was that the one who dared to do this was still a little kid!
Although in his eyes, this little kid is not simple.
"Okay, so what do you think of Tom?" After being stunned, Dumbledore asked.
Tom is called instead of Voldemort because people are more unfamiliar with the name Tom!
They're in a cold drink shop right now!
People come and go, and if Voldemort's name is mentioned at will, it will definitely cause panic among those who hear it!
Listening to Dumbledore's words, Li Kuan didn't even think about it, and replied casually, "A psychopath? A poor worm? Or both? Who knows! β
Answering, Li Kuan showed a disdainful expression on his face, looking like he couldn't look down on Voldemort!
Of course, in fact, he really didn't think much of Voldemort!
Although Voldemort is very famous in the wizarding world, if you do the math, you can know that he is not remarkable!
First of all, from his men!
How many of his men are there?
The Death Eaters and the messy creatures are a few hundred at most!
It's not as many as Haonan's men in Hongxing next door! (Hey, where do you think you've heard that?) οΌ
Secondly, his strength!
His own strength is not to the extent that he can crush anyone in the wizarding world, even if it is his subordinate Malfoy or something, as long as he pays attention, he can live with him in two moves!
At last!
His thoughts!
He advocated the theory of pureblood, and felt that pure-blood wizards should be above Muggle wizards, enslave them, and enslave ordinary people, in Li Kuan's opinion, not only mentally retarded, but also naΓ―ve to pitiful!
To know!
He's a half-breed himself!
A mixed-race you advocate a woolen pure-blood?
Isn't this TM not the same as the beauty of blowing?
Moreover, the idea of enslaving ordinary people is too naΓ―ve and completely unrealistic!
The entire wizarding world in England has only three thousand wizards, and the population of ordinary people in England is now fifty or sixty million!
Fifty or sixty million!
Not to mention that England still has a lot of arms and equipment, and it was once a world hegemon in the military, even with bare hands, these people can wipe out the magic world!
After all, a wizard has to deal with 20,000 ordinary people!
That's all, it's all about the wizard!
Listening to Li Kuan's words, Dumbledore's eyes flashed with a gleam, and then he asked with a smile, "Then what do you think of the last war in the wizarding world?" β
"Uh..."
Li Kuan paused, and described with some uncertainty, "A group of children playing at home? β
The words just fell!
Suddenly, Dumbledore's smile froze on his face!
Is the war in the wizarding world a child's play?
So what are the things he has done all these years to fight Voldemort?
Involved in the playhouse?
Looking at Dumbledore's expression, Li Kuan smiled and continued, "Do you know about war in the Muggle world? β
"Can you tell me about it?"
Dumbledore listened to Li Kuan's words, his eyebrows furrowed, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and his face showed a look of interest.
Although he is the greatest wizard in the wizarding world, he does know less about Muggles!
The main reason...
On the one hand, it is because the wizarding world is still relatively reluctant to contact the Muggle world as a whole!
Secondly, he didn't have time to understand either!
His strength was not for nothing, it was earned through his hard work, and he spent a lot of time studying magic every day for this!
And in addition, he also has to manage the school, research potions, etc., and after all the miscellaneous calculations, his time has already been arranged, how can he have the time to pay attention to the affairs of the Muggle world?
Of course, it can't be said that he doesn't understand the Muggle world at all!
After all, there are quite a few Muggle wizards at Hogwarts!
It can only be said that he knows relatively little, knows some Muggle things, but he doesn't know much, like war and the like, he doesn't know about it!
"More than forty years ago, Muggles fought a global war, and at the end of that war, there should have been two billion people who fought in that war, of which more than 70 million were killed or wounded!"
"And in addition to this time, Muggles often fight wars large and small, according to statistics, in the Muggle world every year, the number of people who die because of wars is as little as hundreds of thousands, and as many as millions!"
As he said quietly, Li Kuan looked at Dumbledore and asked with a smile, "Now, do you know why I said that the war in the wizarding world is a child's game, right?" β
β...β
Listening to Li Kuan's words and the numbers in the words, Dumbledore fell silent for a while.
This moment!
He also had to admit that Li Kuan's words made sense!
Compared with the war in Li Kuan's words, the war in the wizarding world is like a child's play.
The number of people who die in war in just one year is dozens of times more than the total population of the wizarding world in England!
"Actually, I know what you mean!"
And looking at Dumbledore's silence, Li Kuan smiled slightly and said bluntly, "It's just because I control the werewolf tribe, I'm afraid that I will do something harmful to the wizarding world, or let the werewolves infect others without a bottom line or something like that!" β
"But now I can tell you definitively that your worries are too much, because the wizarding world is too small for me to be interested! Moreover, I also have my own bottom line, and I have no interest in letting werewolves infect others without a bottom line! β
After speaking, Li Kuan drank all the cold drinks in front of him, got up and said with a smile, "The dignified white wizard won't let a child ask for a drink, right?" So... Don't forget to pay your bills! β
Immediately, he left the cold drink shop without looking back!
And looking at Li Kuan's departing back, and then at the empty cup in front of him, Dumbledore suddenly showed a smile on his face, and said, "It's really a... Funny little guy! β
"Do you really believe this little ghost?" Snape suddenly stepped out of the corner and asked with a blank face.
"Why not?" Dumbledore smiled and asked rhetorically with a slight meaning.
Immediately, after he drank the cold drink in front of him, his voice changed, and he said in a playful tone, "The dignified Dean of Slytherin won't let an old man invite him to a drink, will he?" Don't forget to pay your bills! β
With that, Dumbledore used a phantom to get out of here!
β...β
Snape looked at the two empty cups in front of him, his face was still expressionless, and 10,000 grass and mud horses galloped past in his heart!
