Chapter 898 I Really Didn't Think So Much
"Impossible!" Dumbledore looked at Tom Riddle's unfamiliar and familiar face with a look of shock, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he turned to stare at Grindelwald, "Tell me that I have already put him All the horcruxes in my youth were destroyed!"
Gellert had an innocent look on his face, "Er... what I saw in the river of fate is like this, Albus, you know, I can't see all the pictures, I can only see him on the young Horcrux All possibilities are gone in the future."
"Disappeared? Ha." Lao Deng showed a rare look of losing his composure.
After the trip to New York, he changed a lot of his mind.
In order to check and balance Anthony Weasley in the future, he completely changed his plan for dealing with Tom Riddle, so he has been preparing for some things in the past six months, intending to completely get rid of this so-called Dark Lord.
And a crucial part of it is to completely destroy the Horcrux that Tom made before being killed by Lily's "magic of love".
For this reason, he had to call Gellert, the prophet, for help, and even brought Harry Potter to a place full of corpses, and swallowed all the ghosts one after another, enduring the heart-piercing pain. The medicine, gritted his teeth on the spot and directly destroyed the Horcrux.
but now……
"He can be resurrected into his youthful appearance, it must be because he still has the Horcrux he made when he was young!"
Dumbledore took a deep breath, feeling a sense of powerlessness in his heart, and closed his eyes wearily.
Ever since he knew that Tom Riddle was relying on the 'Horcrux', and the magic book "Secrets of Advanced Dark Arts" that recorded this magic was placed on the shelf in his own office, how could he not read it or study it? ?
Even Anton, a little wizard, knew that to deal with Voldemort, he must study Horcruxes first, wouldn't he do it?
How can it be!
Dumbledore thought that his understanding of magic was top notch.
Anton can use the Horcrux to create the magic that is suspected of "recording other people's life information". Tom can use the Horcrux to research the "Trinity Rune Snake Animagus", and evilly put Sirius and Barty Jr. In one body with Pettigrew...
Couldn't he, Albus Dumbledore, come up with something?
After all, facing Tom who relies too much on Horcruxes, finding the best way to deal with him can also start with Horcruxes!
Just, now...
"You laughed at me." Grindelwald said helplessly, "Those who play with fate are eventually played by fate."
"Perhaps when you were making those plans, Voldemort had already used this method to resurrect himself as a young man."
"It's very likely, isn't it? When he was in New York, he detonated the nuclear bomb with his own hands, without any regard for his own life. Maybe he was prepared for this at that time."
Dumbledore pursed his lips and slowly opened his eyes, "Does that mean I'm a step late?"
Grindelwald stared at Tom Riddle who was talking to Anton with his azure blue eyes, and nodded slightly, "Fate is only full of fools, fools that people can't resist, but not deception."
"Albus, I'm pretty sure this man has indeed destroyed all the horcruxes of his youth, and there is no horcrux magic that points to the future and is related."
"As for how many Horcruxes he made later, that's beyond what a prophet like me can spy on."
"Maybe you can find a prophet. They may have a solution. I remember that there is a professor in your school who is a prophet."
Professor Sybill Trelawney?
This is not a good choice.
Dumbledore shook his head, and a sharp stream of light flashed through his half-moon glasses, "Just make sure that Tom destroyed all the Horcruxes when he was young. Now it's nothing more than killing him again, and then find someone to remind him about Harry. The soul fragment Horcrux on his body..."
Grindelwald frowned slightly, and with a smile in his eyes, he gently picked up the drink on the table and took a sip.
yo ho~
The taste is not bad.
This is probably the drinking magical plant cultivated by the little witch named Hannah Abbott in the hut, right?
Lao Ge smacked his mouth and took another sip involuntarily.
oops~
It's so cool~
Of course, maybe this kind of coolness is sitting lazily on the sidelines, watching Albus exhausting his energy, planning and calculations for the wizarding world, and looking extremely tired.
hey-hey……
Back then, I was like this. This Albus probably hid in a corner of Hogwarts and ate sweets.
The feng shui turns, and now he is watching the show leisurely by the side.
This feeling is simply not too cool~
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but inspect the dessert plate on the table, and finally found a pile of cockroaches from an exquisite plate, gently picked one up and threw it into his mouth, it was sweet and awesome.
...
No matter what everyone thinks about Voldemort, when he walked up to everyone majestically and asked only to participate in this game, even Dumbledore couldn't refuse at this time.
Otherwise, what else can I do? fight?
Just look at the Hogwarts students around you, some even first-year freshmen, look at the underage wizards coming from all corners of the world, and look at the adult wizards who play an important role in the wizarding world...
Dumbledore would have no way to fight Voldemort in this place.
A little carelessness is the last thing he wants to see.
Even if he could win or even kill Voldemort while protecting everyone, so what? Tom with Horcruxes had no way to kill him completely, who knows when he would pop out suddenly next time.
In this way, Dumbledore and Grindelwald sat on the left of Anton, and Voldemort sat on the right. Invisibly, this set the tone for the future "Top 100 Tournament".
That is - put aside the controversy, the first place in the competition, and the top leaders will join in the grand event.
Anton glanced left and right, chuckled, and beckoned Professor Lockhart to continue hosting.
"Everyone!"
Lockhart is a very individual person. When he is afraid of death, he is really scared to death, but when he starts to be ruthless, he has a posture of not caring about anything.
He has always been like this, otherwise he would not have gone to the school to become a professor in the first place, just to increase the sales of his books.
For him, the limelight of hosting the first "Top 100 Competition" is enough to make him brag for the rest of his life, no matter what he will encounter in the end, it's worth it!
"I think this is an event that is destined to leave a strong mark in the history of magic. We have brought together all the top wizards in the wizarding world, all the ministers of the Ministry of Magic, and even invited the Muggle Prime Minister to participate. Never again Such a high-profile scene."
"It didn't happen before, and it probably won't happen in the future."
"At such an exciting time, I think it's time for us to get back to business."
As Lockhart spoke, he stretched out his left hand, snapped his fingers handsomely, and with a flick of his hand, a magazine appeared.
"Please pay attention to the "Hogwarts Weekly"'s "Top 100 Tournament Special Issue". We will record every event and every player's situation in detail. Let us take a look..."
He shouted suddenly, "A total of 3,625 little wizards have qualified for the competition!"
"It's not easy. First of all, they must master the magic of 'arrow deflection' before they can register successfully."
"Secondly, since Anthony Weasley, the dean of Azkaban at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the director of the Animagus Office of the British Ministry of Magic, he revealed in person that the first trial is to rely on' Arrow deflection' magic to avoid attacks from Muggle weapons, and many people choose to cancel their registration."
"Obviously, this is not only a test of magical strength, but also a test of courage."
"Only such a person can be called a warrior in the Top 100 Competition."
"Muggle weapons?" Master Akinbad, a member of the International Federation of Wizards and the principal of the Waggadu School of Magic, obviously heard this information for the first time, and exclaimed, "This is too dangerous!"
"Haha~" Lockhart laughed exaggeratedly, "Of course not!"
"But what kind of challenges do the Warriors need to face? Please allow us to reserve a little expectation and surprise for the Warriors."
"Of course, the Warriors will get a little tip."
Lockhart drew a card from the magazine and read it aloud.
"Tomorrow morning, we need all the warriors to gather in the hall on the eighth floor below the Ministry of Magic building. They will be randomly divided into groups of four and take a small boat, starting from the space gate, passing through the sea, as long as they successfully reach the island of Azkaban The pier, even if it passes the customs."
"Attention, be careful of the danger from the sea!"
He flipped over the card, "Yes, that's all the hints."
After he finished speaking, he saw that the people in the stands were talking a lot, so he couldn't help but speak loudly again.
"Maybe I can add something."
Suddenly, the arena became quiet again.
"I think this is a very meaningful level." Lockhart didn't know what to think, and there was a burst of emotion on his face, "I believe that everyone who graduated from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft will have experienced such a scene. When entering the school, all the people were arranged to take a small boat across the Black Lake to Hogwarts Castle."
"The arrangement made by the school for the new students is to hope that the young wizards will feel the hardships of the four founders of the school who came to Hogwarts Castle to establish a wizarding school."
"In that dark age, witch hunts spread all over the world, and many wizards and wizards were persecuted. Four great wizards, Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff, came to this place far away from the troubled world. where melons, founded schools of magic."
"They started recruiting students, teaching young wizards how to use magic better, how to identify magical animals and magical plants, how to fight against dark magic creatures, how to better ride a broomstick..."
"At the same time, they also provided shelter for other wizards, and it eventually became a village of pure wizards, Hogsmeade."
"Today, there are still many traces that existed in the school to prevent the 'witch hunt'..."
"There are stairs that change at any time, there are doors that disappear or appear suddenly, there are magical disappearing cabinets, and there are..."
"I think, when the topic of 'globalization' is raging, when we started to hold the 'Top 100 Contest' based on 'globalization', when this ceremony is regarded as the first competition, it has a lot of meaning. Deep intention."
"We don't want to hurt anyone, we don't want to be hurt, we all want to have a good life..."
"..."
Anton stared dumbfounded at Lockhart's talk, in a state of bewilderment.
This level was designed by him, inspired by the web novels he read in his previous life.
And it's still fairy.
——When the Zongmen selects the beginner disciples, these mortals are required to walk the fairy road, and then create various obstacles on that long mountain road.
He just wanted to create an environment where thousands of contestants released 'Arrow Deflection' at the same time. As for why they were in a group of four, it was because the boat at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry could fit four people, that's all.
He swears that he is just a bit of a bad taste. When did he have so many metaphors, what kind of profound thoughts, what kind of broad world vision...
No, not at all!
Lockhart, I give you full marks for your reading comprehension!
I really didn't think so much!
