Chapter 216: Did You Do It Intentionally or Accidentally?
"I am the flame, I am the death!"
"My armor is like iron! My fangs. Fangs"
When Townsend entered the sea of consciousness, he saw Smaug in an extremely powerful posture, his head held high, and he read the boastful words while comparing the words.
"I'm pretty skilled."
It's only been a little over a week, and Smaug's learning progress has actually been able to translate some words, although these words. It doesn't seem to make much sense.
"Master?" Smaug heard Townsen's complaint, and he exclaimed in surprise, "You heard that! I've learned the language! β
Its slender dragon face showed a human expectation: "Can I go out?" β
"If you put your energy on pretending to be forced elsewhere, maybe you can get out faster." Townsend said in English.
"Huh?" Smaug looked puzzled and stammered in English, "I'm fine, thank you?" β
Townsen: "."
"Be prepared, and if there's an accident, you can come out and make a big fuss."
Tang Sen didn't bother to talk to this stupid dragon anymore, and the topic turned to business.
"Same as last time?" Smaug's eyes lit up: "Don't worry, no one can hide from my eyes!" β
Sharing his vision into the space of consciousness, Townsend had already reached the eighth floor of the castle.
Although there was no danger in this conversation in divination, Townsend had always liked to be prepared.
The gargoyle at the door of the principal's room had moved to the side, and Tang Sen walked up the steps behind him without hurry, stood in front of the door, and knocked lightly.
"Please come in."
The wooden door opened automatically, and Tang Sen was able to see the same decoration as in the dream divination.
Dumbledore, dressed in a gray robe, stood up at his desk with a gentle smile on his face, "Professor Tang, please forgive me for being too busy lately, and I didn't have the opportunity to invite you to sit down until today. β
He led Townsend to the couch and sat down, "A cup of black tea?" β
"Everything." Townsend nodded politely.
So Dumbledore took out his wand and waved it lightly, and a pot of steaming black tea appeared in the air, and two delicate teacups flew down from the shelf, and the black tea in the teapot jumped out as if it were alive and landed in the teacup.
Townsen's gaze fell on the other party's wand.
The wand has a very unique shape, not smooth at all, and looks like a branch.
Dumbledore noticed Townwex's gaze, and instead of shying away from it, he smiled and said, "Professor Tang recognizes it?" β
Tang Sen nodded slightly, and said, "One of the three major deathly holy weapons, I naturally know it. β
Elderberry, Elder Wand.
Legend has it that those who possess the Elder Wand are undefeatable.
Of course, this turned out to be an exaggeration, and the Elder Wand could greatly increase the power of the user's spells, but it was not invincible, at least, Dumbledore was not the original owner of the Elder Wand.
"It originally belonged to an old friend of mine." Dumbledore casually introduced, "You may have heard his name. β
"Grindelwald." Tang Sen took over the conversation and said, "Of course I heard it, like thunder." β
"You have a resemblance to him, Professor Tang." Dumbledore sat down across from Townsen.
"Really?" Tang Sen calmly took a sip of black tea: "I heard that Grindelwald once caused a lot of chaos in the entire European wizarding world, and in the end it was you who defeated a character like him in the final duel, I don't think I can have any resemblance." β
"Prophecy." Dumbledore said, "He, like you, has the ability to see the future. β
"This is the first time I've heard of this." Tang Sen showed a curious look and said, "So, he is also a soothsayer?" β
"No, his prophecy is more akin to instinct." Dumbledore said slowly, "He once predicted a world war in Muggle societies and the birth of nuclear weapons, and in order to avoid this, he advocated that wizards unite to prevent the tragedy from happening. β
"But the war broke out anyway." Townsend Road.
"That's right." Dumbledore sighed: "Grindelwald's thinking is too extreme, he doesn't just want to stop the war, he also wants to abolish the International Wizarding Secrecy Law, wants to unify the entire world of wizarding and even dominate Muggle society, and create a world dominated by wizards." β
"His actions could cause a catastrophe greater than war, and I had to stop him."
Townsend nodded, not commenting on Dumbledore's words.
Dumbledore seemed to be just small talk, and he quickly skipped the topic and greeted with a smile, "I've heard that the students enjoy your class, and I'm glad that Hogwarts has a great professor." β
"That's what I'm doing." Tang Sen modestly said, "Not everyone has the talent to learn divination, but at least I will try to make all students understand divination." β
"Interest is the best teacher." Dumbledore agreed, "Professor Tang, you are a true soothsayer, and it is because of your ability to foresee that students are motivated enough to learn divinationβ"
Saying this, Dumbledore suddenly changed his words, and said with a grateful look on his face, "Your previous divination about Tom, the mysterious man in everyone's mouth, has helped me a lot, and you should know that although I believe the news that Harry said that Tom has been resurrected, everyone seems to be unwilling to accept it. β
"It's just a demonstration in the classroom." Tang Sen shook his head and said, "Even if I don't say it, everyone will know about it soon." β
"The sooner the news is believed, the more time everyone will have to prepare." Dumbledore said, "With the support of your prophecy, the Daily Prophet has gradually become unable to conceal the truth, which is of great significance to the future of the wizarding world, only."
He paused, "I'm a little worried that Tom will be angry with you because of this, especially since you don't stay at Hogwarts all the time, but go to the Leaky Cauldron every day." β
"I think with Professor Dumbledore here, the mystery man shouldn't dare to be too presumptuous." Tang Sen smiled: "Of course, it is not so simple to disadvantage a soothsayer. β
"I'm not very good at fighting, but I'm good at taking advantage and avoiding disadvantage."
"It's a convenient and magical ability to see the future." Dumbledore looked at Townsend with those deep eyes, and said, "I sometimes wonder if a person with this special talent will be carefully planned for all his actions, and on the basis of looking at the future, every step can follow the optimal solution of life and the world. β
"Of course not." Townsend sneered, "Professor Dumbledore, it's too tiring to live like that. β
Dumbledore's eyes narrowed slightly.
Too tired?
He immediately realized the amount of information contained in this sentence.
It's not that I can't, I just don't want to.
He picked up the black tea, blew the hot air on it, and said, "Speaking of which, I do remember one thing. β
He said unintentionally:
"Over the past week, there have been a number of statements circulating in Hogwarts Castle, and I have found that some of the ideas that the 'magician' has in common with Grindelwald's ideas, especially those for the future."
"I remember that when the magician appeared at the Cauldron Bar to speak, Professor Tang should have happened to be there, right?"
He stared into Townsend's eyes and asked, "I wonder what you think of this magician's remarks?" β
Townsend smiled, "Professor Dumbledore wants to know if it was a coincidence that I appeared at that point in time, or because I saw the future, and planned it, right?" β
Dumbledore didn't speak, just waited for Townsen's answer.
Tang Sen did not hesitate, and said slowly:
"That's right, I did it on purpose."
