Chapter 185 184: The anchor of fate! The two kings of black and white!
The tall bookshelf is filled with ancient books and scrolls.
Various rare treasures and alchemy equipment were placed on the workbench in an orderly manner, and the huge clock symbolizing the mystery of alchemy still made a slight sound of pointers walking beside Ian.
"Ian, are you okay?"
Seeing Ian come back, Harry Potter walked forward with great joy and said, "You scared me. I just wiped my glasses and you disappeared."
"If I hadn't been able to untie this big clock, I would have wanted to go in and see if you were playing hide-and-seek with me." Mr. Savior obviously had a Muggle-like way of thinking.
His first reaction was not that Ian was teleported to other places by some kind of magic.
"Are you the two professors you went to find?"
Ian looked up at his hands. He had not been able to bring anything back from the past time. The gravel stained on his body before was gone at this moment.
I don’t know if this is a certain rule of time travel or it is related to some restrictions on the house where you want.
"Yes, yes, I realized that you might have encountered some unexpected situations, so I immediately went to Professor McGonagall, and she took me to Professor Lemay and Professor Dumbledore."
"The two of them tinkered in front of this big bell for a long time before they successfully turned you back... Can you tell me where you were taken to by this big bell before?"
Harry Potter had no intention of seeking credit, he was simply curious about what happened to Ian.
"It's a place where even a plane or a rocket cannot reach." Ian looked back at the big clock behind him. He was really embarrassed to say what he had encountered.
"Maybe Ian doesn't know where he went. This is just a door key. Harry, if you learn your textbook, you will know what the door key is."
Nick Lemay looked at Ian as if he wanted to speak, so he immediately stood up and smoothed out. The alchemist obviously didn't want too many people to know the secret about the big clock.
"Okay, I'll go back to review my textbook, professor." Although Harry Potter felt something was wrong, he chose to believe in the authoritative answer unconditionally.
"Very good, I love to study, this is a standard quality in Slytherin. ...I am very happy to tutor your studies in the future, but now let us go to the room next to discuss your scars."
"I went out and wasted a lot of our time just now. I still hope to publish a paper by analyzing your scars. I believe this will be of great help to your future credits." Of course, Nick Lemay doesn't He obviously wanted to talk to Ian and Dumbledore.
He was still confused when he was coaxing and cheating, and wanted to continue to care about Ian's Harry Potter a few times, so he walked all the way to a wall and unscrewed the door handle on the canvas.
The door that seemed to be just an oil painting was opened by this alchemist, revealing the wide room inside. Such a magical scene immediately attracted the attention of Harry Potter.
"Is this some kind of magic?"
He will put other things behind his mind for the time being.
"Of course, if you want to learn, I will teach you too. People from the Potter family have always had good alchemy talents... Maybe I can tell you about your great-great-great-grandfather stealing my candy."
Nick Lemay finished speaking with a nostalgic atmosphere and took Harry Potter into the room in the oil painting, but he did not forget to look back and raise his hand to turn on some kind of video instrument.
Obviously.
Some people know something, so they don’t want to miss some wonderful fun. Seeing the door on the oil painting slowly closing, there were only two people left in the quiet alchemy office.
Ian and Albus Dumbledore stood opposite each other.
"Professor Dumbledore..." The little wizard looked at the old principal wearing a white robe. It was really difficult for him to associate this quiet and peaceful elder with the scheming young man before.
It's really hard to imagine.
What kind of life precipitation is?
Only by turning a person who is cruel to himself into a kind old man like this.
Now Ian finally understands why many people talk about Dumbledore, and they praise him not only his strength, but also countless people are afraid of his wisdom and strategy.
"I'm glad to see you again, Ian." Albus Dumbledore, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke in a low voice. He turned to look at the big dumb bell that was gradually beginning to stop working and slowly quieted down. .
"I really should thank you for your kindness and kindness... for your mercy in the past time and space." Albus Dumbledore's tone was a bit indescribable.
He was obviously very clear about what happened to Ian and himself when he was young. At the same time, I also know that Ian did not use many terrible means controlled by Ian.
Don't say anything else.
Guangdi's attainments in magic.
Ian's talent in black magic is more than a little higher than that in white magic, and this little wizard usually spends many times more time studying black magic than studying white magic.
But Ian did not use even a black magic in the past that spanned nearly a hundred years. He was obviously worried that the black magic might not be able to stop it once he took action. .
after all.
According to Albus Dumbledore's knowledge.
The black magic that Ian learned and improved only had killer moves, only life and death, no distinction between superiority and inferiority. If you really need to use those methods, Albus Dumbledore feels that he is young, he will most likely not be able to withstand it.
"Yes, I know what's going on."
Seeing Ian's gaze coming, Albus Dumbledore immediately nodded and gave a definite answer.
"Is this something you always remember?"
Ian frowned.
He had such doubts in his past time and space.
"No."
Albus Dumbledore shook his head with a sad look.
"When you did some behaviors a hundred years ago, some fragmented images began to flash in my brain, and I only started to obtain all my memories when you came back."
"I think it's the past that has been changed by you. You need to flow along time to the present so that what happened can be synchronized to me." He gave a brief explanation of the current situation.
You can see.
For such a situation.
Albus Dumbledore was not surprised.
It’s just that some unspeakable emotions are hidden in the voice.
"So, what kind of plan is this?" Ian looked directly at his old principal, and there was no complaint or negative emotion in his voice.
However.
despite this.
Albus Dumbledore had to cheer up, and intersected with Ian's eyes with extremely sincere eyes, expressing his apology to Ian from the bottom of his heart.
"I'm sorry for the trouble you caused... I do have some idea, but this idea is still under verification, and what happened just now is definitely something I didn't expect."
"I can assure you that there is no... conspiracy from me." Albus Dumbledore smiled bitterly and couldn't hide his shame and a feeling of self-deprecating.
"Since you already know what happened in the past, I think you should understand it. After experiencing such a scene, I really don't know whether to trust you."
Facing Ian's strange gaze.
"I know you want to scold people, yes, as you can see, I was really not a good thing when I was young." The old principal with a wry smile was covered in sweat on his forehead.
He could see that he was quite guilty.
"I can swear with magic to ensure that what I say is not deceptive." As he said that, the old principal took out his old wand and prepared to swear.
but.
But the little wizard stopped his behavior.
"No need."
Ian knew very well that vows could not bind people's hearts, and only the weak would use such behavior to restrain others. Because of this, he only needed Albus Dumbledore to give such an attitude.
certainly.
Write down a note on his small notebook. No, if you write down a page, you must still remember it. He has always been grateful since he was a child. He will definitely find an opportunity to repay his losses after suffering a loss.
Um.
Sometimes Ian feels that he has a very similar personality to the Corvus.
"If you can teach me the way you can avoid my magic when you were young, I think we will be even for the time being." Ian blinked at Albus Dumbledore.
"For the time being..."
Albus Dumbledore obviously had a sweat on his forehead again.
"Otherwise?"
The little wizard responded with confidence.
"Okay, of course this is OK." Albus Dumbledore sighed and nodded immediately and agreed. After all, he was the one who was really in the wrong.
to be honest.
Looking back at today's age.
He also felt that he was a little bad when he was young and was not a human being... Perhaps those people in the wizarding world were afraid of him, and it was always something that should be truly forgiven.
"I almost thought I couldn't come back, and until now, I don't know what this thing is. I remember that its original function should not be time travel, right?"
Ian is not a person who likes to keep a problem. He turned around and looked at Big Ben. If he remembered correctly, this big bell should have only carried a time that would continue to cycle.
Why did time travel?
"Because of some of my sudden whims, Nick and I made some transformations... I have to say that this is an alchemy miracle that no one can copy."
"As you know, it can be sealed for a long span, so based on this ability, we treat it as a stabilizer."
"Yes, an insurance that ensures that accidents can be limited to a controllable range no matter what happens, so that I can't cause too many mistakes when I go through time."
As Albus Dumbledore raised his hand and pointed to the top of Big Ben, he saw that a device that was roughly the size of a palm was transformed and embedded into the inconspicuous place above Big Ben.
"Is this the thing you asked Professor Lemay to repair?"
Ian recognized the device inlaid on Big Ben. When he was learning alchemy with Nick Lemay, he had seen Nick Lemay repair it more than once.
Unexpectedly, Nick Lemay really repaired and improved the summer vacation.
"Yes, what really makes you travel through a hundred years is this ancient time converter." Albus Dumbledore also admitted this very frankly.
More than that.
He also said something that made Ian's pupils shrink slightly.
"We all knew that you had entered the time loop, and we all knew that you had changed something in the time loop. This new alchemy device can reproduce such a miracle in my opinion." Albus Dumbledore deeply He glanced at Ian, and the amount of information revealed in his words was a little explosive.
It's obvious.
This is Albus Dumbledore who took the initiative to reveal some secrets that Ian didn't know before.
And the reason why it is vague.
Perhaps it is because there are some concerns or possible restrictions?
"So, have you succeeded?"
Ian's eyes were flashing violently.
"We have tried to make some changes in past history that can be buried under the dust of history, such as bringing back something that is destined to be left behind and no one is looking for again."
"This is also the reason why we can repair the ancient time converter... At the beginning, we just used ordinary time converters to enter some of the past that is closer to the present."
"You know, I've been working on similar rules last semester, so there's no surprises, and at this point we've had a very smooth success."
"That is, in the past few days, we have also tried to enter a longer-lasting past, which has been very successful. I have begun to further study whether some creatures can die when they are about to die, and No one could detect any abnormal changes in death.”
Albus Dumbledore spoke slowly, with a sense of openness and honesty. He did not hide what direction he would point to in the final direction of this step-by-step study.
The old principal also knows how smart the little wizard is. He believed.
Ian had known about his plan long ago.
"I have a doubt. If you follow the rules you mentioned, all changes must be kept hidden as much as possible and restore the original appearance of history in the appearance as much as possible."
"So, what's the situation with you who have changed the past that has affected you today?" Ian's mind was really moving very vividly.
He noticed some contradictions in Albus Dumbledore's words.
"This is the key to the problem, kid."
Albus Dumbledore did not avoid it, but stared at the little wizard with his bright eyes, "You did what Grindelwald and I tried several times before."
< br>
"You have truly changed the past and successfully returned to the present... I think the two unknown doubts in my heart have already obtained the exact answer at this moment."
The old principal's voice became complicated again.
"Isn't it a good thing?"
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
Ian noticed the emotional changes of the old principal.
"Half-happy and half-worry."
Albus Dumbledore forced a smile, "You have proved that the past can be changed, which is a good thing, and you have also proved that the future has long been doomed."
"Or it is, the causal relationship in time is not that simple. Perhaps it is because of the result first, and then the cause of the past... This is not a good message." He was obviously talking about Ariana's death. The little wizard guessed that it must be related to his ability to summon Ariana, who should not be in the state of soul in the past.
"Okay, it's a very advanced question. It's not something that I should touch in the second grade..." Ian yawned, and he just sorted out some clues about Albus Dumbledore's words.
It's not a problem that can be clarified in a short while.
A lot of things happened today.
The little wizard just wants to go back and have a good night's sleep now.
It was probably because I saw the little wizard's fatigue.
"You can go back to the dormitory to sleep first, I want to think about it again... I am deeply sorry for your experience today. It is my negligence that caused you to encounter something you shouldn't have encountered."
Albus Dumbledore sent Ian to the gate of the office.
"Can remember my contribution!"
Before leaving.
The little wizard did not forget to remind Albus Dumbledore.
"Unforgettable."
Albus Dumbledore also gave a serious answer. After seeing off Ian with a satisfied expression, he returned to the office and stood in front of the huge Big Ben to start sorting out the extra past in his mind.
"He shouldn't be so tired."
suddenly.
A voice sounded.
Low and magnetic.
"What does it mean?" Albus Dumbledore was not surprised by the appearance of the voice. He just turned his head and looked at a portrait on the office wall with some confusion.
See.
A young voice emerged from the golden wheat fields.
Godric Gryffindor.
It was the portrait Ian had not found after searching for a year. Unexpectedly, this guy was hiding in this place. He might have read Sun Tzu's Art of War, which "This son must not be kept."
Know that the most dangerous place in the world is the safest place. This is really a strange truth. He hid in a place where Ian often appeared but was not found by Ian.
"Changing the past will also have an impact on him."
Gryffindor slapped the locusts on his body and responded softly.
"Do you know any information I don't know?" Albus Dumbledore heard other information and couldn't help but raise his wrinkled brows in surprise.
Godric Gryffindor smiled softly when he heard this.
"I'm not a fool, Ravenclaw is smarter than you... She once told me that the little guy is fate, and all causes and effects will only spread with him as the center."
His voice felt a little sigh.
"Huh?"
Albus Dumbledore was obviously stunned.
"Ian's divination grades depend entirely on copying other people's test papers." He obviously knew the little wizard's grades in various subjects, and also knew that the little wizard had cheated on the exam.
"Silly Albus, a nearly omnipotent wizard who performs so poorly in a certain field, don't you realize that this is an unusually strange thing in itself?"
Godric Gryffindor showed a look of regret.
"It seems you want to be caught by Ian."
Albus Dumbledore was not annoyed after hearing this, but just spoke softly with an expressionless face. His words directly made Godric Gryffindor's expression stiffen.
"That's how you treat the founder of your graduate college!?"
The young portrait was a little furious.
"You are not the real Godric Gryffindor, and I'm even cheating myself when I get cruel. You've seen it." It's Albus Dumbledore's turn to laugh.
"Damn guy! I wouldn't remind you if I had known it!"
Godric Gryffindor thought what Old Deng said was very reasonable, and he didn't dare to refute it, so he could only glar at Albus Dumbledore fiercely.
"Does fate and cause and effect?"
Albus Dumbledore didn't care about this.
He touched his chin with a thoughtful look.
After a moment.
"Now is not the time to think about this problem. I have to do something more important first." Albus Dumbledore obviously felt uneasy and could not calm down.
He turned around and was about to leave.
"Don't think about your dragon-slaying plan? Where are you going?" Seeing this, Godric Gryffindor poked his head out with curiosity.
It can actually bring its head out of the portrait, which is definitely different from most portraits.
"I have to move my hometown... I can move the place where my ancestors and my family sleep... This is to be on the safe side. Some things will definitely have big problems if they are not prevented."
Albus Dumbledore's steps seemed quite fast, and he summoned his Phoenix Fox when he went out, and left Hogwarts the next moment under the leadership of Fox.
He was so anxious.
It's like I'm afraid that someone will take the lead.
Obviously.
Ian's "forgiveness" did not really make the old principal feel at ease.
...
Actually.
Ian really just wanted to go back to the dormitory to sleep.
Albus Dumbledore obviously thought too much, or it was too early. Ian, who felt extremely tired, yawned all the way up the stairs.
However.
He was unable to return to the dormitory as he wished.
When passing by the door of the Black Magic Defense Professor's office, Ian saw Aurora standing at the gate wave to him. He could only force himself to move towards his good friend.
"I'm not sleeping so late. Are you practicing the owl's Animagos form?" Ian was surprised to see Aurora holding a cup of strong tea in her hand.
"My grandfather told me to wait for you here, and I can't go to bed before I waited for you." Aurora sighed helplessly and stuffed half of the strong tea into Ian's hand.
"Fortunately, I'm free now."
The Germanic girl smiled relaxedly.
Regardless of the little wizard's astonished expression, she ran directly to the stairs that began to rotate, as if she could not wait to return to the Slytherin Lounge for a moment.
"This is called abandoning comrades!"
Ian looked helplessly at the strong tea in his hand.
"Gugugugu~"
He finished his mouth full of stuff.
He also walked towards the door of the Black Magic Defense Professor's office with some depression - as if he had already known about his arrival in advance, the door jumped to the side at the right time.
"Has my Dark Magic professor changed this office during the summer?"
Ian walked in with some surprise.
immediately.
He saw Grindelwald with Lockhart's face, sitting upright and looking at him with his hands wrapped around the table, with a strange expression on his face that seemed to be a smile.
"I think Dumbledore has told you something and learned something from you." Grindelwald spoke slowly, his magnetic but elegant voice with a kind of briskness.
"Yes, professor."
Ian stared at Grindelwald from beginning to end.
He even swallowed.
The eyes were quite incredible.
"Very good, now I have some doubts, I want you to answer a little bit for me." Grindelwald looked down at the thing that was placed in front of him and made Ian stare.
"I can see that you know this baby."
He raised his hand and gently fiddled with the things in front of him. The golden apple rolled slightly on the desktop a few times, and Ian's gaze also shifted with the scrolling apple.
"I traveled several times with Dumbledore on my back, and this last time, I was almost killed by a crazy woman, but she let me go after reading my memory."
"This is obviously not because of my identity as a time traveler."
Grindelwald's expression was a little annoyed.
"So, Ian, my apprentice, can you please tell me what kind of terrible secret you have been hiding with Dumbledore all the time?"
He stared at the little wizard in front of him.
Try to open your mouth slowly with a calmer sound.
