Chapter 35 The First Conversation with Dumbledore
All the portraits closed their mouths and looked towards the stairs on the side of the office. Zhang Xiao also looked over.
Dumbledore did not wear glasses and wore a white robe that looked like pajamas, and slowly climbed down the stairs from the second floor.
Zhang Xiao grinned and couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Gangandalf! (Note 1)"
Dumbledore walked up to Zhang Xiao and asked softly with a gentle smile on his old face:
"Gandalf?"
Zhang Xiao smiled sheepishly at the principal and explained:
"It's a character in a Muggle novel. The description is exactly like yours."
Dumbledore suddenly understood, then winked at him:
"I think you already know what I want for Christmas this year."
It seems that the principal really wants a copy of "The Lord of the Rings". This is not a problem. After all, he spent ten years in ordinary society before going to Hogwarts.
Zhang Xiao had already confirmed from all aspects that it was exactly the same as in his previous life, so the Lord of the Rings naturally existed.
In fact, Zhang Xiao prefers its predecessor "The Adventures of the Dwarfs" to The Lord of the Rings. The book is very interesting, the protagonist is humorous, has many adventures, and has a refreshing flavor.
Ahem, it was too far off topic, Zhang Xiao hurriedly pulled back his scattered thoughts.
It has to be said that Dumbledore was a humorous and handsome old man most of the time. For example, now, he took out all kinds of candies with a wave of his hand, and even bravely picked up one that looked like Booger-flavored Bibi's all-flavored beans were stuffed into my mouth.
Tell Zhang Xiao that this actually tastes like beef liver.
Zhang Xiao felt that this was probably because Dumbledore was afraid of being nervous and deliberately soothed his emotions. Then he suddenly thought that Dumbledore was a master of Legilimency and hurriedly ran through his mind:
"Prosperity, democracy, civilization, harmony. Dedication, integrity and friendliness"
Go ahead and read the core values of socialism!
"Zhang, why do you think they suddenly behaved like this towards you?"
ah? Zhang Xiao was stunned, exited from the loop, frowned and began to think about this problem. After a while, he said uncertainly:
"I think it might have been a test, but why exactly I can't figure out."
Dumbledore nodded slightly and said appreciatively:
"It's already an outstanding performance to be able to think of temptations. Now I'm very curious about your family education...
I don't think the children educated by ordinary wizards, including the so-called 28 purebloods, can think of this level. "
At my age? I'm forty years old. Isn't it embarrassing that I can only think of this level?
Dumbledore picked up another piece of candy from the plate with his slender fingers, put it into his mouth, sipped it happily, and said something off-topic:
“One of the biggest regrets in my life is that I didn’t travel to the East, but I just took a walk through Nepal xz.
I thought that the strange magic spread there was all about the East. Only when I met you did I realize how wrong I was. "
As he spoke, he sighed with emotion, and his eyes became deep and distant:
“Three thousand years, what a long period of time, it’s hard for me to believe that there is a family that can pass down the family for such a long time.
I have seen some limited records. Some wizards arrived in the East with the ideal of conquering the world.
But they were soon driven out by some Eastern wizards who called themselves Qi Refiners.
What's even more puzzling is that no matter what means you use to sneak in, you will be quickly found and driven away. (Note 2)”
As he spoke, Dumbledore's blue eyes, as calm as the sea, looked at Zhang Xiao and asked softly:
"Zhang, can you satisfy my curiosity as an old man and tell me about the East?"
Zhang Xiao was restless, is Dongfang so awesome? I do not know. He carefully worded his words:
"Sorry, Principal, I grew up in England. Before I received the letter from Hogwarts, I didn't even know the situation in my family. If you want to know, I can tell you when I go back later. "
Dumbledore was silent for a while and then nodded in relief:
"Yes, I think too much. Okay, let's get down to business."
Dumbledore tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table:
"Originally, I wanted to talk to you about this attack, but after seeing your surprising performance, I felt that your family should teach you this lesson."
Then the principal simply sent him away, and Zhang Xiao understood. After all, he was the boss of the wizarding world. How could he have so much free time to chat with children?
However, before leaving, the principal still said something meaningful to him:
"Zhang, I am very pleased that you stopped them from bullying their classmates. Your appearance allowed me to see another possibility of Slytherin. I am looking forward to what changes you can bring to it."
Zhang Xiao hurriedly left the principal's office and hurried to the dormitory. Because all his roommates were sent to the school hospital by him, he was the only one tonight, but this made it easier for him to contact his parents.
After hurriedly connecting the telescope, before Zhang Xiao had time to speak, his father's voice came over:
"Ersha, I was just looking for you. I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear?"
Zhang Xiao was choked and said speechlessly:
"Bad news."
"The bad news is that your Haidong is turning yellow! To become a messenger, you need to be enlightened. After being enlightened, it doesn't want to come. It feels it's too far, and it doesn't like the climate there."
Zhang Xiao: "What about the good news?" he asked weakly.
Zhang Chengdao shouted in an excited tone:
"The good news is that there is a senior Qingluan who wants to go abroad to relax and is willing to come to your place! By the way, he will stay with you for a few years."
Zhang Xiao immediately screamed, and even his voice changed: "Qingluan??? Qingluan has a message that needs to be sent to Qingluan??? The legendary messenger of the Queen Mother of the West?" (Note 3)
Zhang Chengdao sighed:
"What sweet dream are you dreaming about? It's not that blue bird. It can only be said that it has a trace of Qingluan's blood. Let me tell you, senior Qingluan, show me some respect when you come to your place.
Senior Qingluan took good care of me when I was a child. Your grandfather was also taken care of by senior when he was a child. If you dare to be presumptuous, I will break your dog legs when you come back! "
What's the point? Isn't this an ancestor? Zhang Xiao agreed and hurriedly talked about his own problem first.
Zhang Chengdao listened to the whole incident in silence, and then sneered "hehe":
"Son, you are right. It's just a test. Your principal asked you to come back and ask your family. You are really right. This kind of despicable method is low-level!"
He cleared his throat, seemed to find a quiet place, and said in a deep voice:
"Listen to me and teach you a lesson!"
Zhang Xiao hurriedly acted like he was all ears, only to hear his father say:
"Do you still remember the last time we saw an injustice and drew a sword to help? I guess it was because of that time that these people felt that you were not on the same level as them, so they gave up normal contact.
Only the child named Malfoy still maintains a friendly relationship with you. I have also heard about this Malfoy family. They are good at hedging their bets and adapting to the situation.
Therefore, attacking you is just a means, and the purpose is to draw out us, the Zhang family, to see our reaction before deciding how to contact you.
There are only three results.
First, our strength is very strong, exceeding their expectations.
Second, they are equally powerful.
Third, it is surprisingly weak.
The method is just that. As you said, the little evil curse is just a prank at most. When the time comes, just say it is a child's play and it will be completely dismissed.
It’s the third type.”
Zhang Chengdao's voice was full of coldness:
"The third type is the most interesting, and it is probably what they expect the most. They want to kill us as fat sheep!"
——————————————————————————————————————————
Note 1: Dumbledore and Gandalf are not played by the same person, but they are very similar in appearance and appearance, so it is easy to get them confused.
Note 2: This involves the basic setting of Dongfang in this book, and there will be a reasonable explanation later.
Note 3: Qingluan is recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. He is the messenger of the Queen Mother of the West. He can forage for food and sings unparalleled in the world. If you cannot weaken Dongfang, you can only weaken the bloodline. Here it is set as a bluebird with a trace of bloodline. Its habits are similar to Qingluan. , the messenger, can find delicious food, sings beautifully, is similar to Fox, but is older and will not destroy the balance.
ps: Some modifications have been made to Chapter 31, and some things have been added, mainly to flesh out the character of Daphne Greengrass. Otherwise, as one reader said, the reading will be very stiff.
While the children are sleeping, I quickly coded out a chapter. This chapter throws out a lot of things. I don’t know if you can accept it. If you have any comments, feel free to raise them. I will go to bed first. Good night everyone.
