Chapter 175
Looking at Luke, Dumbledore would always get emotional from time to time, and then would fall into a strange state of reverie.Or looking to the future, or remembering the past.
In short, the mood has not been very peaceful.
Such symptoms did not exist long ago, but appeared on the first day today.
To be honest, Dumbledore suspected Luke immediately, but when he really looked at Luke, the kid showed no timidity on his face.And when Dumbledore asked, this kid was also in a state of knowing nothing.
But Dumbledore decided that this was Luke's problem.
It can be said to trust his intuition, or it can be said to trust Luke's ability.
But at the same time, he was also a little curious.Such a strange ability to have a certain influence on oneself, what kind of ability is it?
Although there are few innate abilities in the wizarding world, Dumbledore has seen some, and he himself has the innate ability to summon phoenixes.Whether it's a contract or a bloodline.These abilities, which are far from normal spells, magic circles, potions, etc. and are not widely spread, are collectively referred to as innate abilities.
Not every wizard in the wizarding world knows the existence of this ability.
"Is this your innate ability?" Dumbledore looked at Luke and asked straightforwardly, "Or has it evolved into innate magic?"
Regarding this difference, Taylor explained to Luke, but now Luke chose to put on a puzzled expression in order to cover up Taylor's existence: "Innate magic? What is that?"
Dumbledore took a deep look at Luke, and then explained to him: "Innate magic is the systematic application of innate abilities. It can even evolve corresponding unique spells that only the owner of the ability can use." .It’s just that not every innate ability can be transformed into innate magic.”
"For example, mine doesn't work. At most, it can be used in some magic and change the characteristics of magic."
Luke recalled the spell they sent earlier.He thought it was Dumbledore's innate magic, but it wasn't.At least Dumbledore is frankly not.From an emotional point of view, it should be no lie.
But is what the emotion shows must be real?Luke will not be superstitious about his abilities.The abilities of wizards themselves are related to emotions to a certain extent.It is not uncommon for a person like Dumbledore to suppress or even control his emotions to a certain extent.Although there will always be clues as long as you look carefully, with Luke's current ability, he can't do such a fine and in-depth analysis of emotional dust for the time being.So in the face of such words, Luke naturally would not blindly believe them.
But even if you don't believe it, it doesn't make any sense.Just like Luke said that Dumbledore's emotional problems were not his own doing, the reason why he didn't continue to ask was because it was meaningless, not because he didn't want to know.
At this time, there were only these two people left in the living room.Gemma is very busy, so she went to the study to continue her work.It was Luke who kicked him out, Gemma complained to the principal that her current boss was oppressing the employees, and got up to work without hesitation.
Looks like it's having fun.
Dumbledore didn't take Gemma's complaints seriously, but actually saw her happy face.
"It seems that Gemma is very satisfied with the job you gave her."
Dumbledore said with a smile.
And Luke shook his head.
"It's just that I am satisfied with power."
"Senior Gemma has some secrets, she won't say more, so I won't ask more, but our goal is the same for a period of time. But what really made her so interested in the job in front of me The reason is because she manages enough money and people under her control."
Luke smiled: "After all, I'm not an adult, understandable."
Dumbledore shook his head repeatedly after hearing Luke's words, not to refute, but to feel a little emotional.
In Luke's state, he still has the nerve to say that Gemma is not an adult?Is there anyone younger than himself?
And just as the two of them were chatting one after another, and thinking about their own plans in their hearts, Dumbledore seemed to suddenly feel his heart tugging.
He frowned and glanced at Luke.Luke noticed his gaze, and this time it was really a puzzled look.Not sure what Dumbledore was looking at.
God is sorry to see you, teasing Dumbledore is such a risky thing, once or twice is enough.If you really want to avenge this scapegoat, you are not in a hurry.
He has just created a framework for the plan, and there is still a long way to go before the complete plan.
So he is somewhat puzzled by Dumbledore's eyes now.
So he saw Dumbledore frowned, his face was more serious, and after a while, he nodded and said, "I'm going to leave for a while."
Looking at Dumbledore who stood up, Luke frowned tightly.
Dumbledore occasionally gaffes in front of him, but not often.
There is no gaffe to the extent that it is difficult to restrain yourself.But now, although his face is calm, Luke can see the extremely ups and downs of emotional dust.
Dumbledore's whole state is a little bit wrong.
"Are you all right, Professor?"
Luke got up and asked concerned.Dumbledore nodded seriously: "I need to go out now. I can't guarantee whether it's more dangerous to stay by my side or stay here. You choose yourself?"
Luke's expression became serious, and he could tell that Dumbledore really felt something was wrong this time, otherwise he wouldn't have asked himself such a question.
"Take care of your own business, Professor." Luke wanted to pat Dumbledore on the shoulder, but in fact he could only get Dumbledore's arm.
Forget it, the arm is the arm.
"I can take care of myself."
Hearing Luke's words, and hearing the full confidence in Luke's words, Dumbledore took a deep breath, calmed himself down for a moment, and then said, "After I leave, don't let your guard down here. There may be an attack."
"There are French Aurors guarding the door, but since the other party dares to attack, they must not pay attention to those Aurors. The Delacour family should not have gone far. If the other party attacked early , you have to pay attention."
Pay attention to what?
"Professor, don't worry, I won't make people wary of me."
Luke smiled slyly.Of course, be careful not to let others see through your strength.
If many people know about his strength now, how can he be so shady in the future?
Immediately the current strength, except Taylor knows some, others only know the tip of the iceberg.Even Gemma didn't know how many cards Luke had.
Seeing Luke's confident expression, Dumbledore nodded. Since it was like this, he really didn't have to worry too much.After all, he knew most of this little guy's character.
At least for the time being, you can't see the characteristic of being brave.
So he didn't say anything more, the flames ignited on his body, and disappeared in place after a while.
The smile on Luke's face became serious after Dumbledore left.
"Heh, are you kidding, do you think I'm stupid?"
Luke's first reaction was naturally to flee.But he is not stupid, it is definitely not possible to slip away by himself.There are many servants in this villa.You can't just ignore their little lives.
In fact, normally, a house elf can take care of everything. Even for some nobles, such things as servants seem a bit extravagant.
Because even if some of your servants are squibs, most of them are wizards.The money to be given must at least be more than the amount of normal work.
That is to say, the Kane family has money but nowhere to spend it, so they also raise some servants in such a place where they don't usually live.
House Elf?It is indeed a symbol of the bottom line, and even represents the victory of the wizard to some extent.But compared to having face, there must be servants at home.
Just like you use your home sweeper to sweep the floor, and you use a person to sweep the floor, these are two completely different concepts.
"Gemma, something happened."
Luke yelled outside the door, and footsteps came in his ears. Soon, the door was opened, and Gemma's face appeared in front of Luke.
Gemma had a smile on her face. After she calmed down, she was quite satisfied with the current situation.
I haven't had dinner yet, but I can have dinner with Luke later.And now Luke is small, so cute, people like it more and more.
Of course, the little guy would be a little cuter if she wasn't made to work.
But those thoughts disappeared when Luke's solemn face appeared in front of her eyes.
Gemma looked at Luke seriously and asked, "What's wrong?"
Luke said seriously: "Take everyone out of this house."
"Someone may come to attack later, and Dumbledore was lured away by others."
Gemma's face became quite ugly.
"How could Professor Dumbledore leave at this moment..."
But as soon as the words fell, she shook her head: "Forget it, there is nothing you can do about it."
They themselves have no ability to restrain Dumbledore. As long as Dumbledore has an idea, they can only follow him in whatever he wants to do.
"how about you?"
Holding Luke's hand, he asked as he walked out.
Luke didn't resist either, then Gemma took his hand and said, "I can't go. If I go, you won't be able to go."
Gemma paused.He lowered his head and looked at Luke seriously: "You're kidding me."
"Unfortunately, it's not."
"Then give me a reason that can convince me."
Then, Luke took a deep breath, and in the flickering candlelight, he began to tell Gemma his plan.
………………
Dumbledore looked at the short white hair in front of him, with a stern look and a proud expression on his face.The expression is quite complicated.
Under the moonlight, Dumbledore, who had become an old man, looked at this vigorous and handsome old friend in front of him, and didn't know how to react for a while.
Of course he knew that the guy in front of him was not Grindelwald, and he knew it very well.
Although this person stood there, no matter in his standing posture or his demeanor, he was very similar to the high-spirited guy back then, but it was either.
No matter what is fake, it will never become real.
And the young Grindelwald looked at the somewhat moved Dumbledore in front of him, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
"traitor."
As if this word possessed some magical power, Dumbledore's moved expression quickly gathered, and only a faint trace of regret could be seen on his face.
"I am indeed a traitor."
Dumbledore never denied that he had betrayed the promise he had made with Grindelwald.He betrayed the blood alliance.
There was a mocking smile on the face of 'Grindelwald': "You are indeed a complete traitor."
But this time, Dumbledore did not reply to his words, but looked at him seriously, and then raised his wand high.
'Grindelwald''s expression instantly became dignified.
Around him, a large amount of water suddenly gushed out, like four walls, trying to surround him.So he flicked his wand without hesitation, and the water wall fluctuated, but there was no further reaction.Frowning, after inputting more magic power, another stream of magic power was released. This time, a gap was broken in the water wall.He walked out in a flash.
But even so, his body was still stained with water.The hair that was standing upright was also wet with water.
The whole person does not seem to have any other injuries, but is a little embarrassed.
When he looked at Dumbledore again, he saw the happy smile on Dumbledore's face.
"You know what? I kind of messed up his hair back then. Looks like it finally worked out today."
As soon as these words came out, 'Grindelwald' seemed a bit at a loss for what to say.
And the strength of the simple four water walls just now also made him a little numb.
How much he expected Dumbledore's strength.But I didn't expect that the strength of this old guy was not much weaker than it was back then.
It is still far beyond his imagination, not to mention, even in the micro-manipulation of magic power, it is stronger than before.
Dumbledore didn't seem to care about the sluggishness of the man in front of him. He said with a nostalgic expression: "I really didn't expect you to appear again. It seems that you still believe in him, don't you?"
'Grindelwald' wanted to say something, but nothing came out.Dumbledore's reaction made him feel strange and inappropriate.The plan may be even more outrageous than expected.
"Your expression doesn't look like him at all."
Dumbledore looked at the panicked expression and shook his head with some regret.
"The past... I can't bear to look back..."
Dumbledore sighed regretfully.
"Of course, don't worry that I will go back."
"I just want to let you guys see what level the little guy is..."
It's fine if he doesn't say that.As soon as he said this, 'Grindelwald' knew that tonight, he might be in danger.
But at this time, there was a loud bang, and the apartment building turned into a sea of flames after all.
