,

Facing the black shadow's questioning, Dumbledore's expression did not change at all. His lake-blue eyes were hidden under the lenses, revealing a misty light against the night sky.

"The chaotic magic power fluctuations, and the properties of magic power that I have never seen before -" Dumbledore reached out and scratched the air, "I think I have said it from the beginning, the basis of cooperation is the trust of both parties. .”

The shadow was silent for a while, and then still remained strong: "Dumbledore, you also understand that we are just cooperating, not digging our hearts out - you get what you want, and we get what we want."

"But there seems to be some conflict between what you want and what I want."

"Things are not what you guessed. You should also know that the unbreakable oath not only binds you, but also binds that person."

"This is not very pleasant to hear. I think I have already proven my sincerity, and some things cannot be faked."

The black shadow paused, and then said in a low voice: "I understand, I will go back to ask for instructions from that person, and I promise to give you a satisfactory answer - now, can you tell me what exactly happened here?"

Dumbledore spread his hands: "This question is also included in the question I just asked. I happened to pass by and felt something was wrong with the magic, but when I came, the place had become like this - made The one who still possesses that kind of strange magic power in this kind of movement is one of your people, right?"

The black shadow nodded slowly: "He is indeed one of ours, and he is responsible for some work... Dumbledore, don't you have any other discoveries?"

Facing the other party's disbelieving questions, Dumbledore smiled: "To be honest, it's really not a pleasant thing to explain to you - if it was me who did it, how would I deal with the Unbreakable Vow? I did it, why should I send you messages? If I wanted to hide everything, would you still be here now?"

Dumbledore's rhetorical question left the shadow speechless. He turned his head and looked at his companion a few times, both seeing the meaning in the other's eyes.

Since working with Dumbledore, he has indeed never done anything detrimental to the returnees. Many returnees are also secretly wary of this old man, but they have not discovered his flaws.

Moreover, I have to admit that they made a lot of arrangements without Dumbledore's knowledge, and the cooperation between the two parties is not at all clear.

However, as long as that person is there and as long as it is certain that Dumbledore will not join forces with Grindelwald, then the status quo is acceptable - at least Dumbledore can't do anything alone.

What's more, they have always been the dominant party in terms of cooperation.

Thinking of this, the black shadow nodded to Dumbledore: "I understand, Dumbledore, please don't misunderstand. We have no intention of questioning you, but there are some situations that we really need to figure out..."

Dumbledore was noncommittal, and he took out his wand: "I hope our cooperation can proceed smoothly, and I also hope that you can keep your promise."

"Of course, we don't have to go against the greatest wizard in the world. It would be great to cooperate. Moreover, Dumbledore, whether you believe it or not, our purpose is essentially the same as yours. We are for, Make this world a better place.”

Dumbledore's lenses flickered, he took one last deep look at the other person, nodded silently and turned around.

He disappeared.

The black shadow and his companions looked at each other, and one of them said: "Normally speaking, if it was Dumbledore who did it, then there is really no need for him to call us over. There is no doubt about his strength."

Another added: "But he happened to be passing by? That doesn't make sense."

"We can't say for sure. Dumbledore's strength may be beyond our imagination. Moving quickly is too easy for him."

"But if Dumbledore hadn't taken action, where would Thomas be? Don't forget, Thomas is not the same person at the beginning... We want to take Thomas away quietly, but we have never heard of anyone with such strength. ?”

The black shadow listened to the conversation between his companions and finally said: "Dumbledore shouldn't betray us. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't. He and Grindelwald have become complete opposites... As for Thomas, I can't say that. Yes, after all, there are many old wizards who live in seclusion alone all year round..."

"But how could that unknown strong man suddenly come into contact with the magic left behind?"

"You'll know if you check. Send someone to check the anchor points. The unknown person will definitely take the anchor points away - and then follow the clues to check the people around them."

"yes--!"

"Dingdong——"

The doorbell rang, and Mr. Parsons raised his head and walked toward the door hurriedly.

Originally, the family should have gone to bed at this time, but due to the arrival of Mr. Wallop, the family could not sleep. Now they were discussing in the living room how their son would go to a magic school in the future.

The sudden ringing in the middle of the night made Mr. Parsons immediately think of the wizard - did Mr. Wallop still have something to explain?

When he opened the door, to his confusion, an old man in a robe was standing in front of them.

"Who are you?"

The old man showed an apologetic expression: "Sorry, this is very unreasonable, but I promised Sean that I will handle the rest."

"Sean? That Mr. Wallop? You know him, do you too?"

Mr. Parsons' words were stuck in his throat, his eyes widened, and he shook his head vigorously.

There was no one in front of the door.

"Dear, didn't you say you forgot an umbrella at the door? Why, didn't you find it?"

Parsons played with his head in confusion, and then picked up the long umbrella that had been leaning against the door for some time.

"It's a bit dark, so I couldn't find-"

He walked into the room and looked at his son: "Doug, don't read that prank letter. It's time to go to bed."

The little boy who was fiddling with a letter back and forth on the sofa was a little reluctant to say, "Maybe it's true..."

"It's a pity that this school called Durmstrang is all fictitious, and no one will come to it - well, how about dad buy you another set of your favorite magic?"

"But……"

The family was talking when the doorbell suddenly rang.

"Well, it's so late at night, why is there still someone coming to the door?"

Mr. Parsons opened the door and saw an unknown middle-aged man.

"Sir, what do you want to do..."

Mr. Parsons stopped talking. He was hit by a ray of light and looked at the person in front of him blankly.

"Have any strange people come to your door in the past few days?"

Mr. Parsons nodded.

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up: "Who?"

"You, it's already eleven o'clock in the evening, I have never seen you..."

The man choked, glanced at Parsons gloomily, and then asked, "Tell me everything you saw in the past two days."

"yes, I……"

After a long time, Mr. Parsons closed the door and returned to the house. He shook his head and regained his clarity.

"Dear, didn't you say you forgot an umbrella at the door? Why did it take so long?"

Parsons glanced at the umbrella in his hand in confusion and shrugged: "It was quite dark, so I found it after searching for a while - Hey, Doug, it's time for you to go up and sleep now."

Doug started fiddling with his letter again: "Maybe this is true?"

"If it's true, then I will definitely send you to this school called Durmstrang, okay?"

"real?!"

"Of course, but now you should go to bed."

The lights in the bungalow gradually went out.

In the shadows not far away, several dark figures were talking to the middle-aged man who had just appeared at the door of Mr. Parsons' house.

"Is the one named Parsons okay?"

The middle-aged man shook his head: "No problem. Although his son received the admission notice from Durmstrang, no wizard has come to visit recently - I checked the action records of Durmstrang's admissions specialist. No one comes here."

"No strange people were found in the surrounding households. There are some magic fluctuations left in the Luo Yinde couple's home. I think it was left by the unknown strong man..."

A dark figure made an annoyed voice: "Why did I happen to be bumped into by that person..."

Another dark figure said: "There are too many wizards living in seclusion in the Muggle world. This is inevitable. This is not the first time someone has touched magic."

"But that man was too strong. The most important thing is that Thomas was taken away!"

"Don't worry, they can't come up with anything... Thomas, just die. We have more important things to do."

"……I see."

The air twisted, and then the night returned to calm.

In Hogwarts Castle, Sean, who was teleported back by the portkey, was in the Room of Requirement. He placed the Roynds on two cushions.

"Weird..." Sean looked at his hands in confusion.

The changed magical nature of his own is now slowly changing back.

The changes in magical power gained from "confronting waves" with the Black Hood are returning to their original state.

"Dumbledore knows this? Then he asked me to take action. On the one hand, he was scrupulous because of the constraints of the oath, and on the other hand... was it just to let me feel the difference of this magic?"

"Because it's in my body? I have experienced this kind of magic in advance. Is it any good for me to deal with arrogance in the future?"

"However, the nature of this magic is so strange... Dumbledore doesn't seem to fully understand it..."

"or……"

Sean felt that his magic power was about to return to normal, and suddenly a bold idea came to his mind.

The nature of the magic power he had come into contact with had also changed, but there was no reaction in his body...

What if he went to meet Pride in person? While the nature of the magic power has not completely returned to its original state.

Sean hesitated, then took out the Unstable Coin.

Unstable Coin (Purple): A divination prop. Throw the coin after saying something specific. Heads represent affirmation and tails represent negation. The number of remaining uses is 2/5 (Note: The front and back of the coin will be affected by the weather, mood, and luck, and the upright phenomenon often occurs. Moderate divination is good for the body and mind, and superstitious predictions are harmful to health)

Sean used this coin three times, and only once was it positive. The other times were all upright, so the effect was not obvious. It was purely a matter of luck.

Thinking of this, Sean coughed lightly, and then said: "Wouldn't it bring any disadvantages to me if I go in and communicate now?"

The coin is flipped, heads!

Positive means affirmation, which means that if Sean takes this opportunity to meet him, nothing bad will happen!

Sean took action immediately. He summoned a full-length mirror, and then stared at the silent vortex in his eyes.

When he came to his senses again, he was already standing on the familiar empty island.

Sean looked down and saw that he still maintained his real-life attire, including his wand and ring. Of course, it was impossible for Dave and other magical animals to appear in his soul world.

Sean turned around and took a look. The empty island had not changed much from the last time he came there. The villa belonging to the Wallop family in the center was also safe and sound.

Sean didn't rush to find it. He first returned to the villa that represented his soul and checked it carefully. After making sure that there was no problem, he walked towards the edge of the empty island.

He is now certain that the soul world where he and Arrogance coexist is part of the confused illusion.

When he walked to the edge, Sean tried to give himself a far-sighted spell and looked towards the farthest distance, but his eyes were still filled with red magma and no edge could be seen.

According to the fable, Mirage has been destroyed, but Sean doesn't know whether the magma is the current state of Mirage or the changes in his soul world caused by his arrogant existence.

I don’t know if I can tell him anything by asking this guy... Sean silently complained in his heart.

He stretched out his head and looked at the magma.

"Hey, come out and meet me?"

"Wa—wave—" The magma bubble shattered calmly, and Giant Sean didn't give any reaction.

"Obviously you want to take over my body, but now I'm talking to you and pretending to be dead, it's okay..." Sean muttered, and then stretched out his wand.

"Boom - boom -"

The explosive curse exploded in the magma, causing a rain of magma all over the sky.

"Hey, big man, I am your host after all. Come out and talk."

He deliberately used the last trace of the guilt magic that had not changed its nature.

Finally, there was movement below.

The magma rolled, dozens of times more terrifying than Sean's explosive spell.

A huge head slowly emerged from the magma, and hot red liquid dripped from his eyebrows. Then his head raised and looked at Sean at the edge of the empty island.

It felt like looking into a magnifying glass... Looking at the huge Sean who looked exactly like himself, Sean glanced at his mouth.

"Finally willing to come out? Do you feel it?"

Giant Sean stared at Sean silently, his negative emotions and violent aura making the air more scorching.

"Don't just look at it. I know you have intelligence and you can communicate. Why don't you talk to me?"

A moment later, a deafening sound echoed throughout the world.

"Where did you get your strength?"
