Chapter 233 Thank You for the Gift of Nature

"I was really touched."

Really, Lockhart was on the verge of tears.

He looked at the children in the hut, seeing the pure and determined little faces, and he was very excited.

With a tap of the wand, a potion shelf appeared on the table.

"Felix Elixir, you can get lucky within twelve hours after drinking it." Lockhart swiped his finger, making an expression of "look how generous I am".

"This potion is not only suitable for exploration, but also very effective for capturing inspiration for thinkers. If you have read my best-selling book "Walking with Trolls" carefully, you will find that I rely on Felicia. It is because of that dazzling and extraordinary operation."

Anton stared at the dozen or so large bottles of Felix Elixir, and the corner of his mouth twitched, "You can't drink too much of this stuff, or your personality will become reckless and arrogant."

Lockhart was scratching his head and posing and waiting for the worship of a few young wizards. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, almost petrified. He turned his head in a daze, looked at Anton, and smacked his mouth, "It's... Really? ?”

Anton nodded with a smile, looking at Lockhart with interest.

"Haha, haha, that's it, Anton, what kind of eyes do you have, do you think I drank too much? You don't even know how precious this thing is, how could I drink too much?" Lockhart rubbed his fingers With a blond hair, he gestured to the little wizards, "It seems that you also understand this principle, so just use a little bit, a little bit will do."

After speaking, he grabbed Anton's hand and came to the balcony on the second floor of the cabin.

He looked around first, then stared at George and the others in the hall, and then whispered to Anton, "Remember this spell, 'Lockhart is a great headmaster, open the secret box!' .”

Anton took a breath, and looked back at Lockhart tactically.

"Is this a spell?"

Don't you think it's outrageous?

"Try it?"

Anton stared at this unreliable person for a long time, and finally took out his wand and tried it. Oh, to be honest, he felt so ashamed.

"Lockhart is a great headmaster, secret locker open!"

As the spell finished, a two-foot by one-foot grid of light appeared in midair in front of him.

Looking inside from the grid opening, one after another magic books and materials are full.

These……

One of the books Anton is particularly familiar with is "The Faithful Guardian" that Dumbledore once borrowed for him. He remembered that Dumbledore once said that there were other interesting transfiguration spells that he would like to share with Anton. Look east, although there will be no follow-up.

"There are still some letters in there."

Lockhart was obviously a little nervous, looking around like a thief, and whispered in Anton's ear, "There are letters he exchanged with the magazine, and there are..."

His eyes narrowed, "Exchanging magical letters with Grindelwald..."

"I hope this helps you."

After finishing speaking, he grabbed Anton's arm, met Anton's unbelievable eyes, and gritted his teeth, "We can't let anyone know about this, understand? Only the two of us know."

"Otherwise I will definitely be killed by Dumbledore!"

Anton pursed his lips, and finally sighed, "Is it necessary to do this?"

Lockhart just smiled.

Although it looks uglier than crying.

"If I... I die...it doesn't matter, does it?"

He gripped Anton's arm hard with his fingers, "You are a smart man, yes, smarter than many wizards, listen, I will give you all the help."

"From now on, on behalf of Hogwarts, this principal assures you that everything is open to you, everything!"

"Understood? If you have any request, you can just ask, as long as it can help you write this book well!"

"But ah..."

Lockhart stared at Anton, "If you can't finish this school year, listen, it's not impossible for me to take revenge on you. Even if I die, you won't want to know my methods."

Anton sneered and gently pushed his arm away.

"I thought that when we negotiated the conditions last time, we didn't raise the stakes to such a high level."

"If you're worried that I can make it, maybe you can find someone else?"

"I don't accept your threat!"

"Turn the table? Hehe, Lockhart, you don't have the qualifications yet!"

silence.

There was a long silence.

"Anton...you are the biggest life-saving straw I can grasp..." Lockhart gritted his teeth and said, he turned his head to look at the black lake in the distance, and grasped the railing of the balcony with both hands.

"Think about it, if you are kind to me, if you have such a great kindness, how much convenience I can provide you in the next school time."

Lockhart turned his head and looked at Anton coldly, "If I can survive and successfully become the headmaster of Hogwarts, with my contacts and means, how much can I gain in the wizarding world?" Success. When the time comes to speak for you with my prestige, how much help can a headmaster of the only magic school in Britain who knows how to be grateful offer you in your job hunting after graduation, or even in doing anything?"

"You are a smart person, you should know that such an opportunity is rare."

"Dumbledore..."

Lockhart's expression changed, "Yes, he didn't want it. He threw the headmaster to me, so don't blame me for being the headmaster. Yes, unless he kills me, don't try to remove me from the headmaster's position." Get up and down!"

"Anyway, without the identity of the principal, I guess I will die that night."

After finishing speaking, he patted Anton gently, "This world is so cruel, I have no choice, Anton, you are the same, think about it, okay?"

The wizard robe fluttered and turned to leave.

Anton silently watched his figure leave.

Watching him come to the edge of the black lake, yelling at and pointing fingers at the fairies who are shaping the statue...

"Okay, anyway, I don't suffer."

Anton shook his head and sighed, "Lockhart, Lockhart, you have no idea how much Dumbledore cares about the principal."

"Forget it, it's none of my business."

He lowered his head and stared at the grid formed by the lines of light, which contained magic books, manuscript paper, and letters.

Anton whistled, "Thank you for the gift of nature."

...

Lockhart's visit also reminded Anton that these materials were not safely placed in Anton's place just like that.

If Dumbledore returns to power and finds that finishing a copy of "Dumbledore's Wisdom" is the best summary of his life, he will not hand over this kind of thing to Anton.

Maybe by himself, maybe with Professor McGonagall's help, who knows.

Therefore, the most important thing now is to copy down all the materials.

No, it is not safe to copy it down.

From the teachings of the goblin Pedro, the record of information, only memory is the most real.

What is written on paper will be modified, what is engraved on a slate will be weathered, and even the memories stored in the Pensieve will have different contents removed due to different owners.

Only memories recorded in time, belonging to the original level of time, will last forever.

This is also the meaning of Pedro working hard to live and weaving himself into a "goblin wisdom container" little by little.

As long as you use the memory retrieval skills of the goblins, or the time converter, and walk all the way to the depths of Pedro's memory, everything will be clearly displayed in front of you.

And he, in the end, will only become a statue of memory inheritance without self-awareness, a time anchor for memory retrieval. For the future of the group, everything is worth it.

The cruelest thing in this world is not that we have no choice in the face of cruelty, but that we have chosen the cruelest path.

It seems that all those who aspire to become great have to go through such a bloody process.

Beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

"Tsk~"

Anton shook his head, sat back in his place in the hut, and continued to sort out Dumbledore's papers.

Sorry, there are only two chapters today. The chapter number of Chapter 228 was my mistake, so let’s leave it at that, it’s rare to change it, as long as it doesn’t affect the reading.
