Chapter 425: Night Talk

Well, in fact, Taylor shouldn't be angry at all.

After all, even she had preempted a slightly different place in Luke's heart. But she also knows a little bit about it. That is, they are all too young now.

People of this age, no matter how mature they are, even if they have a good impression of each other, they will never talk about the so-called love and love. It's not just her own thoughts. What's more important is this Luke's idea.

It's not that Luke doesn't like these cute girls. But...... Too young. It would make his guilt too strong.

Therefore, the future is still long, time is slowly flowing, love don't panic.

Luke smiled a little embarrassedly, "I remember Hermione telling me about it before. Her research into the magic of memory was pretty much there. So I'm going to take her to see the Room of Requirement."

Luke had already told Taylor and the others about the Responsive House. Taylor also knew that it might be the Ravenclaw legacy. But Luke wasn't sure about the truth of the matter. After all, when he talked to the Ravenclaw in there, Luke had never trusted him much.

But now, after Slytherin's advice, his impression of the other party has changed a lot. So I'm going to take Hermione to test it first.

Taylor looked at Luke, then sighed and said, "Don't keep yourself too busy. I don't know what you've been through these days. But your tiredness is also written on your face."

Hearing this, Luke subconsciously touched his face. He didn't feel any change himself. The skin may indeed have become a little bit worse. But overall, it's within his acceptable range.

He does have a lot of things. But for such a trivial matter, he still doesn't care too much.

"Yes, I see. Then don't rush it for now, and you can talk about it tomorrow."

Luke listened to persuasion. I didn't think it just now. Now that he was reminded by Taylor, he really felt sleepy.

"Yawn~~~"

Luke shook his head, then said, "You go to sleep first." Dumbledore should be here later."

"I'm already here."

Dumbledore's voice came from the doorway.

Both Luke and Taylor turned their eyes to that side, and sure enough, they saw Dumbledore in his pajamas. When Luke looked down, he saw the fluffy bunny slippers and didn't know how to say hello for a moment.

Tyler bowed slightly to Dumbledore in a greeting, then turned to the dormitory. She was indeed curious about Luke's experiences these days. But for now, it's better to leave space for these two people. After all, speaking of which, these two people will inevitably talk about some more secret things, which are not suitable for what Taylor knows at this stage.

Luke is usually tight-lipped about them when faced with such things. It's not that I don't want to say it, but I can't say it. Although the rule of this world is not that "too advanced knowledge is equivalent to poison", it is not uncommon for people to fall into a situation of lofty ambition because they know a lot, no matter where they are.

Knowledge that is too secretive is likely to lead to unnecessary pursuits.

Luke looked at Dumbledore in silence, and Dumbledore looked at Luke in silence.

The old and the young looked at each other without saying a word, and it seemed that there was a bit of tacit understanding.

"Let's talk about it. I'm listening."

Dumbledore himself found a first place to sit down in the common room. Looking at the dusty young man in front of him, and Joe, who seemed inconspicuous and coiled around his shoulders, actually made Dumbledore feel a little pressure.

"Let that one come down too. Or go and rest first."

As he spoke, Luke certainly knew who he was talking about. Before he could speak, Joe jumped off his shoulder and asked Luke, "Where's your room?"

Luke didn't answer immediately, but tapped his finger in the air, and a butterfly made of green light appeared in the air.

"You follow it

Let's go."

Luke said to Joe. Joe was also polite, and Luke nodded. Then she looked at Dumbledore. Dumbledore was not arrogant, and gave him a friendly smile as if he had greeted him.

Joe breathed a sigh of relief and nodded at Dumbledore.

He then followed the magical butterfly towards Luke's room.

After the other party disappeared from sight, Dumbledore turned to look at Luke, who was already sitting lazily and listlessly across from him.

"Where did you get this from?"

Dumbledore asked, curiously, "It looks like a longhorned water snake, but it feels different from the horned water snake."

[In view of the general environment,

Dumbledore felt as if he had heard of the creature somewhere. But I couldn't remember it for a while. No way, old is old. The decline in human physiology can be alleviated by magic, but even so, Dumbledore is about to reach his limit.

Luke smiled and said, "I found it from the Forbidden Forest, am I surprised, surprised?"

「……」

Dumbledore was stunned. He knew that there were still many undiscovered things in the depths of the Forbidden Forest, and some of them were dangerous for others.

But he really didn't expect that there was still an existence in the depths of the Forbidden Forest that could bring him a little pressure. In other words, it was capable of hurting Dumbledore on certain occasions. Of course, to really win Dumbledore heads-up is to think too much. Not to mention that magical beasts are inevitably controlled by their own beasts during the battle, so that they are not as flexible as wizards of the same level.

In terms of hard power alone, the upper limit that wizards can reach is greater than that of ordinary magical beasts.

Dumbledore hadn't touched the ceiling though. But he was already able to see the ceiling. And before reaching that limit, he had to exhaust all his strength with every step forward. The so-called ascent to the top is often the most difficult time.

Dumbledore didn't really have much to do with his own strength. He is where he is today not only because of his talent, but also because he has mentors and friends around him.

And now, the limits of talent can be seen, and most of the mentors and friends have passed away or are in prison. So he doesn't have much to pursue.

However, the appearance of this snake now still makes him feel like he looks down on the heroes of the world. But there's really no need to worry too much about it.

"I didn't expect there to be such a thing in the Forbidden Forest. Do you see anything else that is more dangerous?"

Dumbledore asked, frowning. Joe's presence brought him a certain sense of crisis. Not that Joe could threaten his life. It's because if the forbidden forest is really that dangerous, then the restrictions on the forbidden forest will be a little stricter.

At the very least, the entry of junior students into the Forbidden Forest should be completely banned. He couldn't turn a blind eye anymore, and neither could Hagrid.

However, in the face of this question, Luke could only shrug his shoulders helplessly and said, "I haven't gone too deep. Joe's location is the limit of what I can go into. The real center of the Forbidden Forest, I still haven't come close."

The area of the forbidden forest is certainly not small. But to say that it is big, it is really not very exaggerated.

A Hippogriff can easily traverse the Forbidden Forest with a Hippogriff, and there may not be any danger. Even many young wizards like to ride a broom around the Forbidden Forest when they are free to move around during flying lessons.

But the guy who does this kind of thing has never had a professor.

Even if there was such a big disturbance in the Forbidden Forest back then. The actual range of activities of everyone is still on the outer edge. Didn't go deep into the depths of the Forbidden Forest.

It's like a forbidden area, rejecting anyone who knows it.

As for those who don't count in their hearts. It is indeed in there. But I haven't seen it before.

Dumbledore nodded in the face of such words. He also

I believe what Luke says in this regard. Very trustworthy.

The trust between the two people is honed little by little. So it's not just the trust in each other, but also the tacit understanding of what can and can't be said.

"Then tell me where you've been during this time." In the dim moonlight, Dumbledore reached out and pinched the candle in the middle of the table, and then the candle lit up, casting a warm pale yellow light on the faces of the two men. It also softened the overall atmosphere that looked a little solemn and cold.

"Then we have to start with Joe."

Luke thought about it, and after getting up, he told all these things.

Dumbledore felt a profound shock from the start. Whether it's Joe's power, or the wonders of the Forbidden Forest, or the magic of the Tree of Time and Space, and what Luke has seen and heard in the Middle Ages for six hundred years. All of this gave Dumbledore a sense of wonder and mystery in the world. There was even a moment when he felt his desire to explore the world rekindled.

But it was only an illusion, and the exhaustion caused by his aging body still made the fire in his heart quickly extinguished due to the lack of fuel.

After Luke spoke of his battle and his conversation with Slytherin, Dumbledore fell silent. He really thought he was seeing the ceiling. Although I can't reach it, I'm already satisfied. He was mild-mannered. But when he was young, he was also very aggressive, and he was quite proud, even arrogant.

Now, he's still staring at the ceiling. And as early as 600, or even more than 1,000 years ago, someone touched the ceiling and was trying to find a way to break through it. Even if it's just drilling a hole, giving yourself the idea of seeing the wider world.

Therefore, in the face of such a situation, even Dumbledore couldn't help but fall into the mood of "I'm not as good as this".

Luke didn't add any over-embellishment to the situation. The whole story is actually a bit boring to listen to, and it does not fully show the loneliness of the commoners, the luxury of the wizarding aristocracy, and the strength of the Slytherin.

But Dumbledore still listened with relish, even a little distracted.

After Luke stopped, Dumbledore came back to his senses after a moment, and then looked at Luke with a somewhat complicated look: "Your journey is really wonderful."

Luke smiled wryly, "Wonderful? Quite right? It's not what I want, though."

Luke's own words still prefer to change the wizarding world in his own way. The establishment of the company is to promote more people to imitate the company. After all, with Jin Gallon as the driving force, there will definitely be no fewer people who imitate it. In this way, the soil was gently cultivated, and then, after the movement of the United States and other countries had been transmitted to this side, under its own leadership, a self-transformation operation led by some of the nobility and the removal of some of the nobility. Then a top-down reform was completed.

He didn't want to do more, either. If someone can defeat themselves with a bottom-up change, he may also be quite emotional.

And according to his path, there is actually a considerable possibility of getting through. After all, there are already signs of the rise of a new aristocracy in the wizarding world, and all Luke has to do is push and guide.

So actually, Luke doesn't need to go through so many things himself. But...... He also knew that in the wizarding world, that path might be possible, but maybe it would run into some strange obstacles.

Therefore, it is still inevitable to improve the strength and give special gifts.

But now so much has been experienced. Rather than changing the existing order, Luke's understanding of the past and reality of the wizarding world is also becoming more and more profound. It can only be said that it passively moved towards the essence of magic.

After a moment of silence, Luke asked Dumbledore, "Has anything new happened in the days I've been away?"

After a moment of tidying up, Dumbledore also told Luke about some of the events that had happened since Luke left.

"In other words, is Jenkins still showing his feet?"

Luke looked at Dumbledore with a solemn expression, "But you're just

I found out that he was not Jenkins, and I couldn't guess his exact identity at all?"

Dumbledore nodded, "That's true. The origin is mysterious, and I can't find much of a sign of it. But it's no surprise that they're coming at you."

Luke felt a toothache.

"Do you know what the other side is from? Or have you offended someone?"

Dumbledore looked at Luke, who looked entangled and pained, and asked with some curiosity.

"No, I don't know. It's too much......

Luke said helplessly. And these words also made Dumbledore fall silent.

"Anyway, just try it yourself."

With that, Dumbledore was about to get up and leave.

Luke didn't mean to send him off, yawned again, and said, "Remember what I said, Dumbledore, don't touch that tree. If you really want to get in touch, come to me, and I'll help you find a way. But don't touch it yourself. Don't."

"I wasn't interested in it."

Dumbledore didn't reply, "Whether it's immortality or rejuvenation, there's not much temptation for me."

Luke pursed his lips and looked at the back of the other party leaving, "It's better."

But Luke also knew that Dumbledore was definitely going to be. In this way, it is just to add an extra layer of protection.

No one can claim to have thoroughly understood someone.

After all, people always change.
