Chapter 712: He Is
Dumbledore apparently quickly realized this as well.
He also knew that he shouldn't be here anymore at this moment.
His magic had been regained by the vitality he had just replenished with Gayward, so he could actually go through another fierce battle now.
He turned his head to look at Gayward, who spoke slowly in his old voice.
"Speaking of which, in this life, it seems that we rarely fight side by side together, and more often fight against each other."
"Because there isn't much in this world worth fighting the two of us side by side." Gaiward said.
"yes." Dumbledore muttered softly.
His gaze was deep, as if he were recalling the past.
"When I was pierced through my chest by the trident, a lot of images flashed through my mind. I think of my long life, of the time we first met.
I also remembered the time when we used the magic we just learned together to get revenge on the guys who framed your mother as a shrine maiden. ”
He smiled, "At the time, we thought it was seamless, but we didn't expect to be discovered by Merlin, but it's okay, Merlin didn't fire us." ”
He looked out over the city he had lived in until he was thirty years old.
The city's administrators have worked hard to preserve the historic buildings.
So although some areas are very different from the past, there are still some familiar things that have remained.
When you return to your homeland, it is always easy to bring back memories in your heart.
"We got into a lot of trouble after that, shaved off the leprechaun's beard, burned Professor Brasbeard's braids, and stole Professor Alicia's favorite earrings."
"We went back later." Gaiward said.
The main reason they stole the earrings was that they had found a secret room at Hogwarts, and the magical portrait of that secret room required them to show them a treasure more precious than the one they possessed before they could let it go.
The man in the portrait is a king, and his treasure is a crown encrusted with precious stones.
They searched for a long time, and finally it was Alicia's earrings that succeeded.
"We thought we were doing it perfectly, and no one knew about it, until Professor Alicia punished us for cleaning the toilets in the whole school." Dumbledore teased.
Gayward would have smiled too.
Dumbledore sighed with deep emotion, "Later, after I became the Headmaster, I realized that what we did was so obvious to those truly powerful magicians. ”
"The teachers have always been very tolerant of us, especially Master Merlin." Gaiward said.
"This world has all the memories we cherish."
Dumbledore slowly turned his head to look at Gaward.
"You have changed very differently from the past, whether it is temperament or eyes, the original owner of this body should have been influencing you all along, right?"
"There's some trouble." Gayward nodded impknowitably.
"I'm sure you can beat him." Dumbledore said.
After a pause, he said.
"I know you don't really want to be involved in these things right now.
But ah, Gayward, fight alongside me one last time.
You say, there is nothing in this world that is worth fighting side by side. ”
He slowly raised his head to look at the point of light above the sky, "But now there is, isn't it?" ”
Gaiward was silent for a moment, but soon, he slowly grinned, revealing the dragon teeth he was holding, slightly hideous.
"What's more, the two of us go together, and it is estimated that we may not be able to win."
"But that's the kind of challenge that's interesting, isn't it?" Dumbledore muttered softly.
He looked at Gayward, "Just like we risked being expelled, and we wanted to get revenge on those shit. ”
The smile on Gayward's face was even greater.
Just as they were about to leave, though.
Countless black sand suddenly appeared on the roof of this building.
Leo appeared here directly with Mycroft.
"Wait a minute!" Mycroft called out to them urgently.
Dumbledore slowly turned his head to look at him, a twinkle in his eyes.
"I know you, you're a very smart little fellow."
After a pause, he slowly raised his head to look at the sky.
"Although I have a lot to say to you, I guess there is an urgent need for manpower right now."
"Above, there's a decisive battle, right?" Mycroft looked up at the dark sky and the meteorites that fell to the earth from time to time, and the light that lit up the night sky from time to time.
He had never seen anything like this in his life, and it was easy to guess when he thought that there were no more dragons around him.
"The fate of mankind may be decided at this moment." Dumbledore said.
Mycroft took a deep breath and continued, "Leaving your fate to someone else, though it's not my style, but"
He looked at Dumbledore and said solemnly.
"I hope you come back safely."
"There is a decisive battle going on above, but that doesn't mean you're safe here." Gayward quipped, "On the contrary, they are more likely to take advantage of the emptiness of power here to destroy our living force first." ”
"I understand." McCroft said.
Gaiward slowly looked at Leo, who was waiting for Mycroft to come up, and there was a faint glimmer in his dark eyes.
"Long time no see, boy."
Hearing this, Leo looked at Gay Ward with some confusion.
At this moment, Gayward has changed so much from his past appearance that even Leo can't make out the presence in front of him.
"Did you forget me?" Gayward quipped, "On the battlefield of Verdun, I saved you." ”
Decades ago, Leo had violated the rules of the wizarding world by choosing to join the army of West Francis to defend his country and participate in the battlefield of Verdun.
He did almost die there, and there was even an unexpected situation, and a dragon suddenly appeared on the battlefield.
And at that time, it was he who saved him
Leo's pupils instantly contracted to a point.
"You're not dead!?
At that time, the Magical Society concealed the news of Gai Ward's stationing in the Dragon's Lair, because his reputation in the wizarding world at the time was too stinky.
But with the passage of time, many people have long forgotten about this legendary Dark Lord.
So there is very little news about him in the wizarding world.
Leo also learned of his fate after becoming an exorcist, and as far as he knew, Gayward had died at the mouth of a poisonous dragon.
At that time, he had very mixed feelings when he heard the news.
One is because Gai Ward is a damned demon king, and the other is that the Gai Ward he saw really saved him, and took him to meet Merlin to absolve him of his guilt.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to become the head of the Exorcism Division.
"Fate is always so dramatic." Gayward quipped.
He sighed, "You are much stronger than you used to." ”
"Take good care of the world." Gaiward whispered in a deep eye, "What you're going to face next isn't going to be easy."
After saying that, he and Dumbledore glanced at each other, and the magic circle appeared at their feet, disappearing directly with them.
"Who is he?" McCroft finally interjected at this point, "You know him, don't you?" ”
Leo was silent, but after a moment, he said.
"Remember when I told you about Dumbledore, saying that he had defeated a powerful Dark Lord?"
McCroft nodded.
"That's him."
Mycroft was stunned, thinking that he had misheard, but when he saw Leo's eyes, he realized that he was not lying.
After a moment of silence, he smiled.
"The world isn't black and white, is it?" (End of chapter)
