Chapter 106 For the Greater Good (3)
Yang Yun's words were very poisonous.
Although for a great wizard like Dumbledore, his magic has transcended national borders, and he himself is not a pure patriot, and wizards do not have natural likes and dislikes for the country like Muggles do... …
But human beings are social animals. Even if we don’t care about some things, the influence we hear and see in life will lead to certain thoughts.
In particular, the classic jokes between Britain and France will never go out of style no matter how long it takes. The topic between the aristocratic style of the orthodox Union Jack in old London and the romantic French noble blood, the story can be written for three days and three nights.
...After all, these two countries have a history of grievances and wars for more than five hundred years.
——Although I wanted to say something, I couldn't find any reason to refute it for a while.
Dumbledore also knew that Yang Yun's analysis of the situation was correct. The British wizarding community had already lost itself in the long-standing peace. Faced with Voldemort's second attack, Fudge and the Ministry of Magic actually responded by using their own Covering your ears and eyes and pretending that nothing happened is the most idiotic of idiots.
This is the consequence of Dumbledore's choice to sit on the sidelines. His ambition to change the wizarding world when he was young, the blood alliance he made with Grindelwald, and the ambitions of the two young people ended up in front of Arianna's limp body. Disappeared into nothing.
Since then, the high-spirited Dumbledore has died and been replaced by Dumbledore, who is no longer involved in politics. His magic is still strong and his knowledge is still profound. After defeating Grindelwald, his reputation reached its peak, but he But he can't get out of his own prison.
Dumbledore was afraid of change. He was afraid that when he got involved in politics, he would release the devil in his heart. He thought of his sister who also fell into autism due to bullying by Muggles. He thought of himself being imprisoned in Azkaban and sentenced to Azkaban for casting spells on Muggles. His father, who was imprisoned for life, thought of his mother who was killed in an accident because of his out-of-control sister... Thinking of all this hatred, he finally regained his dream of his youth - to overthrow the "Secrecy Act" and establish a wizard against the law. Melon rule.
After Dumbledore's duel with Grindelwald, he took the initiative to contact the Muggle world, learn about Muggle life, and subscribe to Muggle newspapers. The long-term practice has made the world think that Dumbledore is the patron saint of Muggles, but they don't know that Dumbledore is just choosing to hate himself and reconcile with his past.
Therefore, Dumbledore is destined to be no match for Voldemort. Voldemort can be defeated many times, but Dumbledore cannot afford to lose once.
——Because a person who lives in memories can never defeat another person who keeps moving forward.
"No, I can't ignore Minister Fudge's public declaration, take the initiative to speak out with completely opposite opinions, nor can I directly take over the power of Azkaban and the Auror Office... This will not only put the people into panic, but also Minister Fudge They will point the finger at me, and we will be in chaos internally, and this is exactly what Voldemort wants to see."
Dumbledore sighed. He suddenly felt tired, but he still made a decision: "We can only rely on ourselves to fight this battle."
"Well, sorry, Headmaster Dumbledore."
Yang Yun smiled slightly, as if Dumbledore's reaction was not unexpected. He just took out a letter from his arms and put it on the table.
"The Wandering Sea is located in the ocean, and every one of our students who grow and study there will be with fish... Small fish in the ocean will migrate with the flow of ocean currents, and they are born to know how to take advantage of the situation. principle."
Listening to Yang Yun's words that seemed to be chatting, but also seemed to be metaphors, Dumbledore lowered his head and looked at the letter on the table.
——And on the envelope, there was a symbol that he was all too familiar with.
"Are you saints?"
When Dumbledore raised his head again, his gaze was as sharp as a knife.
Because no one understands Gellert Grindelwald better than Albus Dumbledore.
As two people who had formed a blood pact, Dumbledore was naturally aware of Grindelwald's genius in magic and his tricks of deceiving people. His words "for the greater good" back then made countless people abandon everything and follow him, going through fire and water for his ambition.
——No wonder these people can come up with the idea of thought magic at such a young age. If Grindelwald is hiding behind them, then everything will make sense.
——So, why did Grindelwald come up with the idea of a thought disk?
Dumbledore's brain was running at high speed, and he was very aware of the danger of his old friend. If Voldemort used the Avada Kedavra to eliminate those who stood in his way, then Grindelwald used thoughts and slogans. Come and turn your enemies into your friends.
The Death Curse can only destroy people's bodies and souls...but their thoughts cannot be killed.
Dumbledore knew that the group of saints fifty years ago were just dormant. If their king in Nurmengard raised his arms again, then these loyal believers would drag their old bodies and come again. Rising up from the shadows and turning the world upside down... Although it sounds like a fantasy, Dumbledore knew that that person had such a strong appeal.
Because Dumbledore was once one of them.
"No, Principal Dumbledore, just a trading partner."
But Yang Yun's voice interrupted Dumbledore's thinking: "Wandering Sea agrees with many of Mr. Grindelwald's ideas. We believe he is a great wizard who can do great things, but we think we should keep an appropriate distance from him. ——Excessive ambition will destroy everything, which is why we did not contact Mr. Grindelwald at that time."
"Then do you think it's okay to contact him now?"
It was only now that there was an obvious fluctuation in Dumbledore's tone, and he showed impatience for the first time: "He is Gellert Grindelwald! You were not even born in the era when he was active, and now you dare to Are you saying something like this rashly?"
"But we know a lot about him, and over time, what Mr. Grindelwald needs is completely different than what he needed fifty years ago."
Faced with Dumbledore's tone that he might even pull out the wand in the next second, Yang Yun just smiled indifferently: "Fifty years ago, he once wanted to carry out a revolution and let wizards rule Muggles. He rules the world, but fifty years later, he only cares about his lover.”
Dumbledore's heart throbbed hard.
Yang Yun smiled while picking up the tea on the table: "Principal Dumbledore, how many fifty years can there be in a person's life? I understand your concerns about not being the Minister of Magic, but after we have a deeper understanding After studying the current situation of the British wizarding community and comparing the gap between the enemy and ourselves, we feel that if we cannot unite everyone, the Order of the Phoenix will definitely be defeated at the hands of the Death Eaters."
"...So, I think you need a little help."
