Although there was not much obvious change in expression on Phoenix's face, Harry could still feel that Professor Dumbledore was a little surprised.

"Harley, I didn't expect you to grow to this point." Professor Dumbledore said softly, with exclamation in his voice,

"So, be careful!"

The golden-red flames of low temperature poured like a flood towards Medusa.

The corners of Medusa's mouth curled into a smile, and her closed eyes opened instantly.

There seemed to be stars twinkling under those eyes, and there was a terrifying and evil magic condensing.

The golden-red flames that had no fixed form in mid-air instantly solidified and turned into hard stone.

Then Harley's hands slapped violently, and she threw her head back and let out an invisible scream.

The head of the snake at the end of the snake's hair also raised its head together, opened its mouth wide in mid-air, and let out an invisible and terrible scream together!

A dark blue aura that was much more powerful than before emerged from Medusa's body and spread rapidly.

In an instant, the temple was covered with snow and ice.

The ground, walls, and pillars were covered with a thick layer of ice, and the sky was filled with dreamy snowflakes.

Black and green glows appeared and shimmered in many places on the floor, as if against the snow and ice.

But Harley's hands shone with magical light, and multiple "laws of all laws" were promulgated with the blessing of demigod divinity, enhancing Harley's extraordinary abilities while weakening other magic around her.

With the help of the Law of All Laws, the Frozen World seals or destroys these curses one by one.

Harry didn't want to waste her strength, but Professor Dumbledore's phoenix wasn't big and suspended in midair.

However, the size of the Medusa that he has transformed into is very large, and if he is not careful, he may trigger the curse.

For the sake of her own safety, Harley chose to spread the frozen world with all her might.

On the altar, the transparent box at the top of the stone pillar was instantly torn apart by a few snowflakes, and bloomed with evil magic to resist the destruction of snowflakes.

But the snowflakes still covered the black gem ring unhindered, and the black gem ring was quickly frozen.

However, the soul contained in this Horcrux seemed to have awakened, bursts of black gas overflowed, and the outer layer of ice and snow turned dead black.

But after all, it was a rootless source, and it was forced to silence under the power of a demigod.

Neither Harry nor Professor Dumbledore paid attention to the scene, and the two remained in a stalemate.

Professor Dumbledore's body continued to bloom with flames, but the temperature was not too high, apparently to guard against a mistake that could harm his students.

And Harley also controls the strength of the frozen world, so that at most, it restricts Professor Dumbledore's actions, and will not really cause harm to the professor.

Suddenly, the flames bloomed again, and the phoenix disappeared into midair.

The white-haired old man reappeared and slowly descended back to his place.

Seeing this, Harley also hurriedly retracted her mythical creature form.

After turning into a witch form again, Harley held her glasses with one hand and applied various hints to herself, adjusting her psychological state to avoid getting out of control.

After adjusting her condition, Harley was about to look up at Professor Dumbledore when she suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Only then did she remember that she hadn't taken off her glasses yet.

Harley quickly pulled out the box, carefully removed the glasses, and stuffed them into the box for storage.

Then Harry looked at Professor Dumbledore.

Professor Dumbledore was slumped on the floor, his face full of exhaustion.

His wand was scattered around, and his clothes were covered with melted icy water.

"Professor, have you calmed down?" Harley looked at Professor Dumbledore and asked softly.

The battle between the two can be said to be very abrupt.

Professor Dumbledore suddenly lost his mind for some inexplicable reason, and he didn't even care about his own life.

And the end of this battle is also very inexplicable, it feels like the old man has suddenly had enough of fighting and calmed down, so he stopped.

Professor Dumbledore smiled wryly and waved his wand slightly.

His soaked robes quickly dried out and became neat again.

"I'm sorry, Harley." Professor Dumbledore's expression was very remorseful,

"I just got dizzy...... I'm so sorry I made a mistake again...... The temptation of that ring was too great for me. ”

For a moment, Professor Dumbledore's wrinkled face looked older.

"So Professor, why did you behave that way before?" Harley asked curiously, her hand still on her wand,

"What is the Resurrection Stone? Is it the black gem on Voldemort's Horcrux ring? ”

"Who is Ariana? Your former lover? Or is it a lover? Or best friends? ”

"We can go back and talk about it." Professor Dumbledore shook his head,

"Now we should get our hands on the Horcrux and get out of this unsafe place."

"No, Professor, you have to explain." Hallie said firmly,

"Otherwise, I can't be sure if you're completely back to normal."

Professor Dumbledore let out another wry laugh, still slumping weakly on the ground:

"Okay, then I'll talk about it. It may take a little time, after all, it's a long story. ”

"First of all, let's talk about the Resurrection Stone, which is one of the legendary items of the Death Trihows."

As he spoke, Professor Dumbledore stretched out his wand and flicked it in midair.

A triangle with a circle embedded in the triangle and a vertical line in the middle appears.

"The Elder Wand," Professor Dumbledore pointed to the vertical bar.

"Resurrection Stone," the circle in the triangle bloomed.

"Cloak of Invisibility," the triangle symbol in the outermost circle changes color.

"Together, these three items are called the Deathly Hallows." Professor Dumbledore said in a voice of slight amazement,

"Legend has it that they are magical objects made by the Grim Reaper."

Professor Dumbledore then quickly summarized the story of Chapter 5 of the Tales of the Poet Bean, The Tales of the Three Brothers.

The more Harley listened, the stranger her expression became.

According to Professor Dumbledore, the true provenance of the Deathly Hallows is actually ...... Fairy tales?

Legend has it that the three Lear brothers crossed a river, so they were superficially appreciated by the Grim Reaper and received the Deathly Hallows?

What about playing?

Professor Dumbledore didn't care about Harry's expression. After summarizing the story, he concluded:

"The Elder Wand can make those who wielder it invincible;"

"The Resurrection Stone allows the wielder to resurrect the dead;"

"Cloak of Invisibility...... Hmm......" Professor Dumbledore paused, pondered for a moment, and then continued,

"This invisibility cloak is different from the ordinary invisibility cloak that can be seen on the market."

"The ordinary invisibility cloak is just a powerful illusion spell, or made from the hair of an invisible beast."

"This cloak of invisibility will be ineffective after a few years of use, but the cloak of invisibility in the Deathly Hallows will not."

"It's been passed down from generation to generation, but it's never broken."

"These powerful magical effects make one wonder if they were really made by the hands of the Grim Reaper himself, as the legend says."

"And after obtaining the Deathly Hallows, can you really become the master of death like the legend?"

Hallie nodded, still with a skeptical look on her face:

"So Professor Dumbledore, is there any evidence that the Deathly Hallows actually existed?"

Professor Dumbledore fell silent.

After hesitating for a long time, he shook the wand in his hand: "This wand in my hand is proof, this is the legendary old wand." ”

"After his first master, Antioch Peverell, was killed, the Elder Wand has been appearing in all corners of history."

"The demon Aymerik, the evil Egbert, the author of the evil black magic book "The Most Poisonous Magic", and the famous wandmaker Grigovich......"

"Many of the most famous villains in the history of magic or great wizards have held this wand, but they have lost it for a variety of reasons."

"And now...... The bearer of the Elder Wand is me. ”

！

Harry's pupils shrank, she didn't expect Professor Dumbledore to have such a powerful magic item in his hand!

And she really didn't feel anything special about Professor Dumbledore's so-called Elder Wand.

"Isn't it shocking?" Professor Dumbledore smiled,

"Forgive me, old man, for not being able to tell you how I got this wand."

"But as the owner of this wand, I can assure you that this Elder Wand is as magical as the legend is."

"It's very powerful, and I'm two people without the Elder Wand."

"If it hadn't been for that enemy...... Alas, there were many other factors that went into my acquisition of this wand. ”

Professor Dumbledore didn't seem to want to talk more, and hurriedly changed the subject,

"Actually, the Potter family also has a Deathly Hallows. Do you remember? I gave you an invisibility cloak at Christmas in your first grade. ”

"It's your father's relic, and it's your Potter family's ancestral artifact, the legendary Cloak of Invisibility."

"Ignotus Peverier has no grandchildren, only one granddaughter, Iolans Peverell."

"And she married into the Potter family as the sole heir to the Ignotus line of the Peverier family, and the invisibility cloak has become a treasure passed down from generation to generation of the Potter family."

"Your parents happened to lend me this cloak of invisibility for research when they were hiding from Tom, so I didn't return it to you until you were in first grade."

The shock on Hallie's face couldn't be hidden.

It turns out that he also holds the Deathly Hallows! The invisibility cloak, which was locked under the box by himself for two and a half years, actually has this kind of origin! (One year for the third grade, one year for the second grade, and half a year for the first grade, exactly two and a half years.) ）

"Of course, although there is evidence, I don't really think that these are really objects made by the Grim Reaper."

Professor Dumbledore took his wand back and slipped it into his pocket,

"Personally, I'd prefer that these items are magical items made by the three Peverell brothers themselves."

"Their strength is very strong, and the items they make are naturally very valuable, and the magic effect is extremely outstanding."

"In order to make the magic items they made more famous, they chose to borrow the existence of the Grim Reaper for promotion."

Harley still had a shocked expression on her face, but her memories drifted back to two and a half years ago.

When I got the invisibility cloak at that time, I always felt that there was something wrong with the invisibility cloak, and it seemed to have some negative effects after wearing it, so I didn't wear it, but locked it at the bottom of the cabinet.

Considering the sheer amount of information Seven Lights had told her, Harley felt that she should test the cloak when she returned.

"I know the story of the Deathly Hallows, but it seems that you also know very well whether the Resurrection Stone can really resurrect a person."

Hallie paused and gave Professor Dumbledore a deep look, "Then why are you still so persistent, even almost crazy, Professor?" ”

"Because of that Ariana? Who is she? ”

"She's my sister, my own sister." Professor Dumbledore let out a long sigh, "This is another story. ”

This time, he didn't speak as quickly as before, but slowly told the story of Ariana and his past.

He begins with Ariana being bullied and becomes the legendary Silent One, and continues to talk about his encounter with Gellert Grindelwald.

The two men shared the same philosophy of forcing Muggles to submit to wizards and build a world where wizards were the superstructure and Muggles were the base.

As he recounted the moments he had spent with Gellert, the expression on his face changed slightly, and he seemed more and more nostalgic.

The more Harley listened, the more she felt that something was wrong, was this talking about her old friend? This should be talking about his old lover!

And Grindelwald is the legendary dark wizard who swept across Europe!

I didn't expect him to have such a relationship with the great white wizard Dumbledore...... A friendship that borders on love!

“…… I had just graduated and he had been fired from Durmstran. ”

"The two of us have made plans to go on a walk-and-go journey, following in the footsteps of the most famous wizards in the history of magic."

"At the same time, we plan to follow the clues in the history of magic to find the Deathly Hallows."

"We believe that finding the Deathly Hallows, to be the true conquerors of death, means being invincible."

"We even realized that a lot of people would die along the way, but it was a necessary price."

"It's all for the greater good."

When he said this, Professor Dumbledore's face looked as uncomfortable as a withered leaf and a yellowing weed.

"It was probably the happiest summer of my life."

"But my sister, Ariana, was neglected. She had been taken care of by Aberforth, but after the summer holidays, Aberforth had to go to school. ”

"So, Aberforth pointed to my nose and told me that I had to stay and take care of Arianna."

"He was right, but I didn't realize it at the time. And Gellert defended me, on my side. ”

"We got into an argument and drew our wands."

"I don't know whose spell struck Ariana...... And then...... She's dead. ”

Professor Dumbledore let out a choked sob, like a helpless old man, covering his eyes.
