Chapter 11: Wandering in the Sea, Thought Magic and Thought Plate Imagination (I)
Dumbledore's office was a large and beautiful circular room, surrounded by strange silverware of unknown names and purposes, and surrounded by portraits of past headmasters. These portraits are not only to commemorate these famous witches and wizards of their time, but also to give their opinions and give advice to the current headmaster.
This is Hogwarts, a school that has been passed down for thousands of years.
"Thank you very much, Aberforth, for your message."
When Aberforth led the three Middle-earth team up the spiral staircase and into the Headmaster's office, Dumbledore had already sat behind his desk and waited for a long time. The old man with a long beard stood up with a smile on his face and greeted his guests.
But Aberforth just snorted coldly at Dumbledore's kind attitude, and without any response, he turned around and left the headmaster's office, seemingly not wanting to say a word to his own brother.
And Dumbledore seemed to have long been used to it, he just shook his head slightly, and then looked at Yang Yun with his light blue eyes and said, "First meeting, friends, welcome to my office...... Look at your appearance, are you from the East? β
As he spoke, Dumbledore waved his wand, and three more chairs suddenly appeared in front of him, as well as three delicate teacups: "Please sit down, everyone, let's sit down and talk." β
- First time meeting?
The moment he heard these four words, Yang Yun had an alarm bell in his heart.
Even so, Yang Yun still forcibly maintained his expression. Because Dumbledore not only lived for more than a hundred years, but was undoubtedly a master of the Divine Mind...... In front of him, even the slightest flaw would be suspected.
And since Dumbledore asked whether everyone was from the East, combined with what Lupin said at the time, it showed that there was a great chance that the main god had only arranged a relatively vague identity for everyone, with neither limited origin nor corresponding identification.
After all, except for wizards, the world of Harry Potter is roughly the same as the normal world in other aspects.
- I was wrong in my previous speculation.
Dumbledore is too old for anyone to know much about the wizarding world of the East, and if he asks us some questions, such as asking who the Minister of Magic of our country is, then the identity of the Lord God cannot be hidden.
The identity provided by the main god is not reliable, and the characters are by no means fools.
This loss, the Middle-earth team has already suffered once in Resident Evil.
Therefore, Yang Yun just showed a polite smile and said, "No, we are not from the East, but from the wandering sea of Northern Europe. β
As he spoke, Yang Yun made a triangle with ten fingers of both hands, which looked a bit like a tent set up: "The seventeenth monarch of the Wandering Sea Science Department, Yang Yun, has met the Headmaster of Hogwarts here. β
"Nordic ...... Wandering the seventeenth monarch of the Sea Side? β
Not only Dumbledore, but even Zheng Zha and Zhan Lan were stunned by Yang Yun's words, and Zheng Zha immediately hurriedly said in the Mind Link: "Wait, Yang Yun, why did you say that?" It's not the same as what we've discussed......"
"Be quiet, Zheng Zhe! Dumbledore said that we met for the first time, which proves that the Lord God has not assigned us an infallible identity, think about Resident Evil for a while! β
Yang Yun used the shortest time to quickly authenticate in the Mind Link.
In the previous discussion, everyone was unanimously optimistic that the identity arranged by the main god for the Middle-earth team this time was the wizard on the side of the Order of the Phoenix. After all, as soon as everyone entered, they were given the task of delivering information to Lupin, and from the general point of view, Dumbledore would not easily hand over such an important matter to others.
Now that Voldemort has killed the Potters, the speculation that Lupin, one of the four Heists, has even been marked by the Dark Devil is relatively low.
But now, Dumbledore said that it was the first time he met everyone, which was enough to overturn most of the previous assumptions...... Because there is no mature leader who will give the important task of delivering information to a stranger who meets for the first time and does not know the details!
- I can't help it, I can only tell a big lie.
"Wandering the sea?"
Not to mention the conversation between the few people in Psychic Link, Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, the name sounded like a magical research group, but he had never heard of it.
Dumbledore had lived for more than a hundred years, and he was well-informed, not to mention all the secrets of the wizarding world, but at least most of them. If there really was an organization in the Nordics that had been passed down for seventeen generations, he would not have heard any news or be impressed.
However, whether or not the Wandering Sea organization existed was not really important to Dumbledore.
If you live long enough and stand at a high enough angle, many things will become a weight in Dumbledore's eyes to weigh the pros and cons. Regardless of whether the three people in front of them are friends or foes, at least they are on the front side on the surface, even if a few people are really undercover, there will be no trouble in Hogwarts.
Hogwarts House was Dumbledore's home base, and even when Voldemort was at his greatest and craziest, he never thought of attacking Hogwarts head-on. If they really come with good intentions, then one more person will also have more power.
At this moment, every ounce of active participation is extremely valuable, and Dumbledore has no way to ask for too much.
"That's right, as the name suggests, we are a people who migrated from the East many years ago and wandered on the sea, and this time we took the initiative to go to land, also because we were guided by the eyes of heaven and fate." Yang Yun knew what Dumbledore was thinking, so he hurriedly added the background: "These can be talked about later, let's deal with the main thing first." β
As he spoke, Zheng Zhe stepped forward and took out the small crystal bottle that Lupin had given him earlier from his arms, and handed it to Dumbledore intact.
For the crystal bottle that Yang Yun handed out directly, Dumbledore took it with a slightly surprised expression, looked at the sunlight for a few seconds, and after making sure that there was no trace of being opened, he turned around and poured the memories in the crystal bottle into a stone basin on the bookshelf.
The liquid on the surface of the stone basin rippled, and it seemed to reflect some images, and it was impossible to see the specific situation from the perspective of the three members of the Middle-earth team, but Dumbledore looked at it very carefully, and looked at it for several minutes.
ββAnd these few minutes have become an excellent opportunity for Yang Yun to tell his lies.
In these few minutes, Yang Yun used almost every brain cell to think. And when Dumbledore put the stone basin back aside, and then turned around, Yang Yun had already made up a set of lies in his chest, and smiled at him slightly.
Dumbledore didn't understand the meaning of the smile, and he said, "Thank you for the information...... As you can see, the British wizarding world is currently in a moment of undercurrent, darkness is looming, and at this time, every power that can be fought against it is very valuable. β
ββ¦β¦ And I've heard that you are here for prophecy? β
- Sure enough, Dumbledore couldn't help it.
Yang Yun knew that in the world of Harry Potter, those great wizards with names and surnames often believed more in things related to prophecy.
Voldemort opened a twenty-year feud with the Potter family for the sake of prophecy, Dumbledore used his life as a bargaining chip for prophecy, and Grindelwald was a master of prophecy himself - it is because of the power of prophecy that these people are more convinced of prophecy.
- Perhaps, this is also a joke played by fate?
"The man who possessed the power to conquer the Dark Lord approached, born into a family that had defeated the Dark Lord three times, born at the end of the seventh month. The Dark Lord has labeled him as his archenemy, but he has an energy that the Dark Lord does not understand......
"How, do you need me to continue to prove it?"
Looking at Dumbledore's surprised face, Yang Yun felt that it was enough to say this: "The vision of the prophets is sometimes the same, but the difference is that some people are the narrators of fate, some are the executors of fate, and some are the changers of fate. β
ββ¦β¦ So what you're trying to say is, you and the sea behind you are the so-called changemakers? β
Dumbledore stared at Yang Yun's eyes, and the person in front of him clearly recounted the prophecy of the year, although it was only half, but this half was only known to Snape and Voldemort themselves, who were eavesdropping on the pig's head at the time. And with Dumbledore's knowledge of Voldemort, it was impossible for him to tell anyone else about such an important matter.
Therefore, whether this person is really a prophet, or has obtained the corresponding information from some source, it is enough for Dumbledore to pay great attention to him.
Moreover, there is the organization behind them......
The British wizarding world, which originally only had the two forces of the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters, suddenly had a new force, even if this organization called "Wandering the Sea" was unknown, but the person who claimed to be the seventeenth monarch of the Wandering Sea Mind was a prophet, which showed that this organization should not be underestimated.
At that time, Grindelwald's saints were able to develop rapidly, on the one hand, because of his own charisma and strong strength, and on the other hand, because of the so-called "prophetic vision". The more powerful the wizards, the more they can understand the greatness of fate and prophecy, because it is a power that they cannot grasp and cannot understand for the time being.
- So, Dumbledore used a little trick.
"Yang Yun, the spiritual power shield I covered on you was touched...... It is as if Dumbledore is using his mental power to capture the emotional messages that unconsciously overflow from you. β
Zhan Lan immediately reminded in the Psychic Link. Although Dumbledore's actions were very hidden, he had already withdrawn the mental power scan, and placed a layer of spiritual power shield on the three of them to prevent information leakage.
In addition, it is precisely thanks to this layer of spiritual power shielding that Yang Yun's thoughts and emotions when he was thinking frantically were not captured by Dumbledore, otherwise he would have been a goof.
Compared to Downland's direct use of the Dementor's Mind spell on the others, and the rough opening of their heads, Dumbledore's approach was more clever and more imperceptible.
After all, Dumbledore is a master of receptivity, and he often doesn't need to recite spells at all, and he can accurately grasp people's hearts and thoughts, because any subtle fluctuations in expression, any unconscious overflow of emotions, may reveal important information...... This is not only the application of magic and spiritual power, but also the result of a hundred years of life experience.
Come to think of it, even if the nickname of the "White Lord" is just nonsense, but an archmage who has lived for more than a hundred years and made a blood alliance with Grindelwald when he was young and is determined to change the entire wizarding world, where could he be a simple White Lotus-like character?
However, it is not wise to point out Dumbledore's small actions directly.
"Whether we are 'changers' or not depends not only on ourselves, but also on whether those who are at the center of the prophecy have the will to 'take the initiative to change'."
It seemed that he had said everything, and it seemed that he had not said anything, Yang Yun just deliberately or unintentionally diverted the topic again: "Professor Dumbledore, as an archmage who has been in contact with magic since the last century, you must be well-informed...... So excuse me, have you ever heard of thought magic? β
Dumbledore frowned at Yang Yun's sudden question.
The temptation just now did not gather any emotions from the three of them, and it can be said that it was in vain, and now the other party has proposed a new term called "thought magic" that has never been heard before...... Is it a counterattack to one's own temptation? Or is it just a matter of asking for advice?
However, Dumbledore has lived for more than a hundred years, and the most important thing he lacks is the ability to resolve embarrassment, the old man smiled and said, "Is this a new magic that you have developed in the sea?" Although I have a knowledge of all kinds of magic, I have never heard of this kind of magic classification, and I would like to hear about it. β
"You're welcome, Professor Dumbledore, this is just some of our conjectures and foolish opinions, and I need to ask you to correct them."
It was only at this time that Yang Yun sat down with a smile, and at the same time motioned for Zheng Zha and Zhan Lan to sit down at the same time: "From the small crystal bottle we handed you before, it can be seen that modern mainstream magic also has corresponding research on memory, so it saves me a lot of time to explain it in advance." β
"Have you ever thought that everyone's memory and spirit are actually like a book? And taking out or making a copy of your memory for others to see, is it like turning a page for others to read? β
"There is indeed such a theory...... However, compared to the description of books, the human heart is a complex and multi-layered thing, not as simple as you say. β
Dumbledore first nodded, and then asked curiously, as if he was really an old man who had seen a new theory of magic and was interested: "Is the magic of thought you talking about an extension of this theory?" β
"Yes and no, because that's what I'm talking about next." Yang Yun continued: "Since everyone's memory and spirit are a book, why can't we create a library and store these books in it......
"βEven, can books be borrowed and exchanged with each other?"
