405 Specific process, unknown price

The battle on the school playground broke out all of a sudden - the huge Obscurus surrounded Voldemort, who was an unknown number of sizes smaller. The students could not see the specific situation of the battle clearly, they could only see green light coming from the black fog. It surged out, hit the stone, and splashed a series of fire.

And they didn't know if the sudden change was a good thing - after all, Obscurus seemed no friendlier than Voldemort.

Fortunately, many people still recognized Dumbledore. In addition to Professor Slughorn, an old friend, there were also some students and other young professors.

"Are you really Dumbledore? Albus Dumbledore?"

A professor wearing glasses stepped forward and asked. He looked exactly like Gaspard. He was the alchemy professor of this world - Gaspard Singleton.

Dumbledore replied kindly: "It seems that I should thank the chocolate frog picture for not letting young people forget me even after many years of disappearance."

In this timeline, Dumbledore still appears in the Chocolate Frog cartoon because he defeated Grindelwald.

"There is also the "Alchemy Guide."" The adult version of Gaspard pushed up his glasses and said: "There are people in it who speculate that the reason why you disappeared is because you were refined into part of the magic stone by Nick Flamel——"

"Okay, okay, that's the end of the meeting." Professor Slughorn interrupted quickly, and then he looked at Dumbledore and explained: "Guspard is good at everything, but he is a little serious. It is easy to believe some absurd rumors. And he has always wanted to know the true formula of the Philosopher's Stone."

Dumbledore looked at Guspard, whose glasses started to glow, and said with emotion: "The changes in the school are really surprising."

The reminiscences ended here, Professor Slughorn asked the doubtful students to continue to evacuate. He walked to a window and looked at the battle scene in the playground. Dumbledore stood side by side with him, and behind them were more of professors.

"Is this the helper you found?" Professor Slughorn asked.

Dumbledore nodded slightly, his light blue eyes emitting a faint light, but there seemed to be a flame burning inside.

"It should be said that Credence and I are both helpers."

After adding this sentence, Dumbledore looked at everyone and asked: "Do you know Callan Sangster? I thought he would be the first person to greet me."

The professors shook their heads in confusion, but the adult version of Gaspard pushed up his glasses and murmured in a low voice: "It seems that I still had a good eye for selecting research targets when I was a child, but it's a pity that I didn't get stuck in this world. orchid."

During the period when the other Gespard was secretly hiding in the office, he had already revealed a lot of information to the adult version of himself, including Callan, the talented little wizard.

"Follow me, sir."

The adult version of Gaspard proactively said: "Someone knows where he is."

On the other side, at the bottom of the Forbidden Lake.

Ever since they learned that they would lose their memory, the three people except Karan became a little nervous. They carefully crossed the final entrance and entered the lake.

Karan felt it carefully. He could see that the entrance to the ruins still existed, and no memory was lost in his mind.

But when he looked at James, he found that James' deformed face was mouthing in the bubble spell: "I still remember what just happened."

Not only James, but also Regulus and Draco didn't notice anything strange.

"Maybe it's because the entrance hasn't disappeared yet."

Karan also mouthed the explanation, and then the four of them continued to swim toward the lake.

When they finally surfaced, they heard the sounds of fighting coming from a long distance away on the playground.

Obscurus, like a black mist, completely enveloped most of the playground, making it difficult for them not to notice.

"That's Credence."

A voice came from the lakeside - Dumbledore looked down at the wet people. He waved his wand to evaporate the water from their bodies, and his whole body suddenly became warm.

"It looks like we really succeeded."

At the first sight of Dumbledore, Callan realized that Death had not deceived them - but there was no joy on his face.

Similarly, Dumbledore also had a solemn expression.

"I never expected that you would actually use Ravenclaw's diadem again." Dumbledore sighed and said, this was the only reason he guessed could solve the problem between himself and Credence: "And I didn't expect that you would use Ravenclaw's diadem again." , you actually know the ancient magic of using the crown——"

"It's more than just that." Karan explained the whole thing. Even though they had experienced it personally, the three of James couldn't help but feel frightened by the fact that Karan had made a deal with the God of Death.

Dumbledore listened without saying a word, his light blue eyes becoming more solemn.

"This is roughly what happened." Karan stood on the creaking snow. He rubbed his hands vigorously, exhaled a stream of white breath, and finally asked: "So you and Credence have really fully recovered. ?”

Dumbledore nodded, and he spoke solemnly about his experience with Credence.

"We were still asleep in the snake tree at that time. According to the description of William, who had been staying there, he suddenly saw a figure wearing a black witch robe appear. Before he could stop it, that figure - that is, you The god of death in his mouth cast two wandless spells."

"After this, Credence and I got back to normal."

Karan asked in confusion: "But how did the God of Death do it? Does he really have the power to solve the obscurus and emotional sealing?"

Of the two, Credence is the exceptionally powerful Obscurus, while Dumbledore, in addition to becoming an Obscurial, is also controlled by Occlumency - which renders him incapable of love.

"not quite."

Dumbledore said thoughtfully: "I suspect it is more like the power of blood, which is the blood magic studied by Antioch and ancient wizards."

"Credence has a unique bloodline - it comes from Isolt Thayer's father - William Thayer. He is a descendant of Morgana, who is also an ancient He is a wizard who has the ability to see nature and divine destiny. According to legend, he is also the old enemy of Master Merlin."

"The God of Death reactivated the Morgana blood in Credence, giving him the ability to resist the Obscurus."

"As for me......"

Dumbledore slowly stretched out a palm. He did not use a wand, but a flame suddenly appeared in his palm.

Callan looked at this strange scene, and he found that the color of the flame was very close to the fire on Fox.

"Is it a phoenix?" he asked.

Dumbledore nodded and slowly put away the flame.

"Maybe it's still a blood alliance." There was a light of memory in his eyes.

"There is a legend in my family that when Dumbledore needs help, the Phoenix will come to us."

"I suspect that the earlier ancestors of the Dumbledore family had a close connection with a certain phoenix, which led them to form a blood alliance, just like Gellert and I did when we were young..."

He suddenly stopped talking and did not continue talking about his old experiences.

"In short, the God of Death also inspired the Phoenix bloodline in my body, which completely suppressed the Obscurus and Emotional Occlumency. This gave me some special abilities. At the same time, this is why Credence and I were able to catch up so quickly. Reason for coming back.”

Everything has become clear.

James looked at the two people who suddenly fell silent, and asked doubtfully: "Isn't this a good thing? Why do you look so serious?"

Karan remained silent and did not speak.

Dumbledore slowly explained: "Because only those who have used the crown will know that some magic is not free."

"The power of the God of Death is far beyond the magic of the crown. I'm afraid, the price is unimaginable."

This is why Callan is eager to find Dumbledore and Credence - he is eager to know whether these two people have really recovered.

If recovered, then the God of Death may actually have the ability to turn himself into the next God of Death.

Now, another threat has emerged, and like Emotional Occlumency, they are silently waiting for Karan.

"Don't worry about that for now."

Karan could only say, he focused on the battlefield on the playground, and everyone looked over.

There is no doubt about the power of Credence. Apart from him, no other Obscurial has lived for such a long time.

During the time that several people were talking, Voldemort had not been able to break through Credence's siege and shroud - it seemed that he alone was enough to deal with Voldemort.

But everyone sensed something was wrong.

Not only did Voldemort come to Hogwarts alone, but the appearance that Callan vaguely saw was not the handsome middle-aged man.

The scales on Voldemort's face may have faded, but he has not fully recovered, nor has he returned to the image that Death indicated.

"That's why I haven't taken action yet."

Dumbledore thought thoughtfully and said: "This is not only because of the terrifying number of Horcruxes that Tom possesses, but also because he has never turned into Obscurus, and his men don't know where they are hidden."

In order to solve the problem caused by Haierbo, Voldemort finally obtained the torso of half a snake tree after waiting for a long time. He should have turned into Obscurus, but there was no sign of losing control at all.

As for Voldemort's forces, including the Death Eaters who had just been expelled from Hogwarts, these people never showed up.

"Then what should we do?"

Regulus asked worriedly - what he saw was not only that Voldemort was unable to break through Credence's protection, Credence also seemed to be unable to defeat Voldemort. They had been in a stalemate for a long time.

Everyone set their sights on Dumbledore - not only Karan trusted him, but also the professors. Principal Dippet complained in front of them more than once that he had lost the most satisfactory next principal. , otherwise he should have retired long ago.

"You guys go back to the castle first."

Dumbledore quickly made up his mind. He ordered: "Be careful on the road so as not to be discovered by Tom. Then find a way to meet up with the professors in the castle and seize the time to take the students out. I will do it later." Go and personally inform Harry and Gaspard who have done the same thing, and there is no need for you to stay near the ruins."

"What are you going to do?" Karan asked in surprise.

Dumbledore did not rush to answer. He asked instead: "In the crown's answer, the hope of ending the war lies within the entire ruins?"

Karan nodded quickly.

Dumbledore smiled slightly.

"Although I am from Gryffindor House, after what happened to Death, I still have to try to avoid any problems with his legacy."

"This time, if anyone needs to sacrifice, let me do it."

Then, before anyone could react, Dumbledore jumped into the cold lake water vigorously.

He didn't give a few people a chance to refuse, and he didn't want to see more sacrifices.

Karan stared at the lake. He was silent for a while, and felt more at ease inexplicably.

Then he took the lead and said: "It's really a beautiful entry into the water."

On the other side, the Hogwarts auditorium had already become a mess. It was not easy to move all the students out of the secret passage. In the end, they chose the one leading to Honeydukes. The secret passage is one of the few intact secret passages, and the boss of Honeydukes is also willing to help.

"Karan! Karan!"

Just after Callan and the others returned to the crowded castle, he heard someone calling him loudly - it was Hermione, and Ron who was standing next to her carrying the unconscious Professor Sybil, and Steve He was also following the two of them closely.

After returning to the castle, Karan separated from several others.

Many students heard the sound of Dumbledore and Slughorn talking, and they looked back curiously, but Callan seemed to be just an ordinary student. Even if some students occasionally glanced at him, they would just be unable to bear it. After a few more glances, I didn't connect this strange face with that mysterious guy.

In their imagination, Karan must be at least as tall as Ron to be qualified to save everyone.

This allowed Callan to rush to Hermione's side without much effort.

Ron asked anxiously: "Where's Harry? Why are you the only one back?"

Since Professor Sybil passed out, Ron has not been able to participate in subsequent expeditions in the ruins.

Steve also asked: "Where is Guspard?"

The adult version of Gaspard was standing not far from them. He turned around and looked around: "Who is calling me?"

However, before Karan could explain what happened, there was a series of loud noises outside the castle, which even shook the entire castle.

The students immediately fell silent in fear. Only a few people standing at the window pointed in the direction of the window. One of them trembled and said: "Forbidden Forest..."

"A large group of giants suddenly appeared in the Forbidden Forest!"
