Chapter 168: Someone Guards the Gate (Ask for Subscription!! )

Dumbledore had a great interest in the so-called Jace's entrustment.

From a few words, he seemed to have learned such a message.

"Luke's existence, in the eyes of the Gaunt family, was also expected?"

Dumbledore sat alone in a rocking chair under a blooming wisteria, his face confused.

"Is Jace Gaunt the power of prophecy, or is it ......"

Luke, this guy was designed and cultivated by the Gaunt family since more than 600 years ago?

"Fake, right...... How can it be. ”

Dumbledore's state of mind in his more than a hundred years also had a hard time accepting that someone could arrange what would happen more than six hundred years later.

"Unless both of the above conditions are present. The ability to peek into the future and design a plan for a six-hundred-year time span. ”

"This is a man?"

Dumbledore really felt unbelievable. Of course, he felt that if that little ghost knew that he had such a demonic ancestor, his face would not be very good-looking.

After all, a child who has always felt that he is very smart, when he is proud and complacent, finds that all his things may have been preset by one of his ancestors who can be called demons.

It's going to crack, right......

For some reason, Dumbledore suddenly looked forward to it.

Of course, the expression on his face is still very solemn. When did he really see himself as an ordinary person? Such a person, even if it is more than 600 years apart, will still make people feel inexplicably frightened while fascinated.

The ability to see through the future is not a rare thing, and don't forget that one of Dumbledore's closest people is a true prophet.

Gellert Grindelwald, a man who can see through the fog of time and at the same time has an outrageous ability to orchestrate intrigues.

But even so, even if it was added to Dumbledore's inner beautification, he didn't think that Grindelwald could be compared to this guy he had never met, and it was better not to meet.

Dumbledore felt at ease as he was at home, but whenever he closed his eyes and wanted to take a nap, he would suddenly panic and open his eyes. After a few times in a row, he shook his head a little helplessly.

Dumbledore turned to look at the cabin on his right, a complicated look in his eyes.

In the room, Luke looked at Nicol Lemay who was smiling in front of him, and finally opened his mouth.

"Monsieur Lemay, do you really intend to leave this world with Madame Lemay?"

Luke's question was also very direct, mainly because the previous roundabouts and tactfulness were avoided by the other party. Sometimes people are like this, they still don't give up after getting a hint with a clearer meaning, until the other party rejects it head-on, and there is not even the last bit of affection left.

Nicol and Perenal, the old couple, glanced at each other, and both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

According to common sense, the two of them should indeed be responsible for the child in front of them who has no other elders around them. After all, the child is also entrusted to them by old friends back then.

Of course, who knows that this entrustment is nearly 600 years later.

"The two of us have traveled all over the world. We've seen many wizarding wars, and we've been involved in the founding of Beauxbatons, and we're barely in the world. Six hundred years is too long, Luke. The matter of dying was already on our agenda a hundred years ago. ”

"It's just that the whole world stirred up by Grindelwald and Dumbledore later became very interesting. It's dangerous, though. ”

When talking about Grindelwald, Nicol Lemay's expression can be regarded as calm. You can't expect an old man who lived for nearly six hundred years to have any fear of a wizarding movement where someone wanted to enslave Muggles. Wizards are also human beings, and the most common thing for humans is strife.

Just trying to provoke a fight between wizards and Muggles. In the first few hundred years, there were those who wanted to destroy the entire wizarding world, and even the entire world.

But even now, the wizarding world is still like this.

There are indeed changes, but the life of the low-level wizard is still a change of soup and not a change of medicine. He was reminded of the changes that Grindelwald and his saints were stirring up in the world at that time, and it was enough to say "interesting" in three simple words.

This kind of thing, if you have seen it, it is not strange.

They waited for decades before they came across the half-blood wizard who wanted to enslave other half-bloods and Muggle wizards by the standard of pureblood. They were quite excited at first, because this person might be the 'Luke' that Jace had told them about back then. But this self-deception didn't last long.

This may indeed be an ambitious person, but he is not a pure-blood, so he can pass directly.

The idea of the Gaunt family lineage named Tom Riddle was boring. It's completely a reversal of history, just kidding...... Isn't this a return to the lives of the two of them when they were younger?

The aristocracy and the church are in control of almost everything.

It wasn't a good time, Nicol back then, if it weren't for Jace's support, he really wouldn't even have the funds to conduct magical experiments.

"And after all these years, I still haven't studied the whole book thoroughly, and I've completely fallen into a bottleneck."

At this point, Nicol Lemay wanted to make a self-deprecating expression, but because he hadn't had such an expression in a long time, he looked a little stiff.

"I also believe that the Philosopher's Stone is already the limit of my research in the field of alchemy. Of course, I believe, this is also the limit of the whole world at the moment. ”

Nicol Lemay said this without hiding the pride in his eyes.

His philosopher's stone is, of course, the pinnacle of alchemy in the whole world at the moment. The other alchemists couldn't even touch Nicol Lemay's leg hair, and this was the same as the 'present' for nearly six hundred years.

Speaking of this, Luke could see a trace of gray-black 'unwillingness' in the pale of emotional dust.

And Luke, too, basically understood why Nicol and his wife had lived enough.

In all fairness, a friend of Luke's previous life said that when he was Kavin, Ka would have an inexplicable sense of anxiety every day. And Nicol's current research is not a matter of a day or two, a year or two that is stuck. It's a hundred, two hundred years.

The most terrible thing in a person's life is not that he can't see the road ahead. But they saw clearly, and there was no way forward.

Now, Luke basically knows how to persuade him.

"You two, have you ever visited the Muggle world today?"

Luke asked with a smile on his face.

Nicol also smiled and said to Luke, "Don't underestimate us too much, Luke, the two of us still have a connection with the outside world. ”

The two of them weren't really isolated from the world. Whether it's alchemy experiments or everyday life, there is always something needed, some of which come from various markets in the wizarding world, and some that come directly from the Muggle world.

When Luke heard this, he shook his finger slightly, jumped off the sofa, and said to Lemay: "I mean, in-depth contact with Muggles, in-depth understanding of their social formation, understanding of their technological development. ”

"You know, Mr. Lemay, Muggles can fly in the sky, too. And those vehicles that don't use magic are not as inefficient and useless as the Ministry of Magic and the newspapers disparage in the newspapers. ”

"I agree with part of Grindelwald's point of view, and I admit that wizards are indeed superior to Muggles in some way. But this does not mean that complacents are superior to Muggles in all respects. ”

"They can now rely on all kinds of tools to create miracles that even magic can't do easily."

Luke had a smile on his face, like a devil selling his own contract.

"Mr. Lemay, don't you feel like you're in the wizarding world right now?"

The smile on Nicol Lemay's face faded.

He had contact with Muggles, albeit superficially and simply. But if there was a list of Muggle worlds in the wizarding world, Nicol would still be confident that he would be at the top.

But this kid in front of him ...... Apparently knew Muggles better than he did, and in depth.

Luke looked at Nicol Lemay's expression and knew he was a little shaken.

"This ability, even if it is not deeply developed into magic, its own power is terrifying enough. ’

This ability is incredibly useful when it comes to convincing others.

"You're all in a predicament of development, the wizarding world has been static for too long, so there will be two people in quick succession who want to change the order of this society. Although the latter one was not very competitive, he died before he could get out of the UK. ”

"You are the same, you can't find a way forward, and the paths you have tried have already failed, and it seems that there is no hope in sight."

"So why not try what I'm talking about? Maybe it's going to be a new path. ”

Luke smiled calmly and said, "I firmly believe that we will definitely have contact with Muggles in the future. It's inevitable. And most of the new blood of wizards comes from the Muggle world. And it accounts for an increasing proportion. ”

"Trust me, Mr. Lemay, if you go to the Muggle world, I'm sure you'll see something different."

Can Luke guarantee that Nicol Lemay will find a breakthrough once he leaves for the Muggle world? If you can, there will be ghosts. He was just talking about a possibility, so he didn't say a word about it, just to explain the novelty of the Muggle world.

It's not a lie at once, the Muggle world at this point in time can really be said to be changing with each passing day, go and see something, maybe Nicol Lemay can get all the shocks, maybe get some inspiration.

Nicol's expression changed one after another, but Perenal beside him looked indifferent.

If Nicol chooses to die, then she is willing to be with her. If Nicol chooses to see the new world, as Luke says, she doesn't have a problem.

She was now looking at Luke in front of her, her eyes full of gentle and kind smiles. This look made Luke look a little overwhelmed. He always felt that such a look was for him, but not entirely for him.

Luke didn't speak, just sat back in his place, leaving time for Nicol to think.

Nicol didn't keep Luke too long, though.

"You're really similar to Jace!" Nicol looked at Luke and shook his head helplessly, "That's what he convinced me back then." ”

"Convince me not to use the Philosopher's Stone to keep him alive."

"And now, with similar statements, you've convinced me to keep living."

Nicol Lemay smiled a slightly bitter smile: "Maybe I'm really not as good as Jace." ”

Hearing this, Perenal, who was beside him, smiled and took Nicol into his arms.

Luke opened his mouth, but looking at the loving and happy expressions of the two old men, he always felt as if his mouth was stuffed with something, shook his head, and then silently exited the room.

Dumbledore, who had been looking at the room for a while, gave Luke an inquiring look when he saw it. Luke gestured to him with an OK.

There was a hint of surprise on Dumbledore's face, but it was momentarily relented. But nodded to Luke anyway.

Luke gave him a big smile. Then facing him, the thumb and forefinger pinched together a few times. Dumbledore shook his head with a smile.

"Hell, why do I have such a tacit understanding with this kid......"

Dumbledore thought with a somewhat complicated expression as he turned his head.

The last person who had such a tacit understanding with him, is he doing well now?

Dumbledore looked up at the starry sky, and couldn't help but lose his mind.

"Back then, I was still too young."

So when he is old, he will not repeat the mistakes of the past. There is nothing wrong with believing in a person, but it is not okay to trust a person completely.

Luke looked at Dumbledore not far away, was silent for a long time, smiled, and shook his head.

What you say and think in your heart is not as real as what your actions show.

He is still relying on the old man in front of him, although the two of them are using each other during their time in France, but in essence it is still a time to understand each other and rely on each other.

There's still a long way to go.

……

"Where are you two going next?"

Nicol looked at the old man in front of him...... Well, although they are all juniors.

Luke said helplessly: "We have to go back and see, seriously, the two of us have been missing for a whole day, and I can't imagine what the situation is outside now." ”

Luke is not stupid, he knows very well what the consequences of his disappearance, especially in front of Strange's family, will be.

I have known an old book friend for ten years and recommended a book-chasing app to me, Wild Fruit Reading! It's really easy to use, driving, and going to bed rely on this reading aloud to pass the time, you can download www.yeguoyuedu.】

"Also, you two really should think about how to explain it to the outside world. But don't reveal me. ”

Nicol nodded earnestly, and then said this with a worried face, and sent the two men to the door.

As soon as they walked out of the door, Dumbledore and Luke were stunned for a moment.

"This tin sheet, your friend?"

Luke asked, poking Dumbledore in the waist.
