Sean immediately realized that this was... Grindelwald's memory before time travel?!
And Grindelwald's next words also confirmed his thoughts.
He seemed to have just experienced a terrible battle and was panting tiredly, while the other party's voice was somewhat helpless and unwilling.
"I really don't want to admit it...but not admitting failure is an even more shameful behavior."
Grindelwald slowly stood up, the Elder Wand in his hand trembling slightly for some unknown reason.
It was obviously only in his memory, but Sean just felt that Grindelwald was looking at him.
Travel through time lines, travel through different worlds, travel through memories and reality, and just look at yourself.
Grindelwald's clothes, temperament, and even his eyes gave Sean a strange feeling.
He is taller and more unruly than the Grindelwald that Sean knew.
However, Grindelwald's sudden smile made Sean stunned.
It was the smile he often showed when teaching himself, with some playfulness, some appreciation, and a teacher-student feeling that was very rare for the Dark Lord.
It was probably the kind of smile that only Sean could see.
Grindelwald in front of him also showed the same smile.
"Let me think about it..." Grindelwald lightly dusted off the dust on his body, "When you get this memory, Albus will probably say, 'Those things are some of Grindelwald's little things.
But for you now, it is still difficult to digest. When you grow up a little, come to me.' Something like this?"
Sean's eyes widened and he shook his head with a smile...It's really exactly the same...
It was as if Grindelwald was talking to Sean face to face, he seemed to be able to see Sean's expression.
"Tsk, I guessed it right as expected -" he raised his lips and smiled, but then squinted his eyes and looked at the sky as if he was remembering something, "Of course, it's all just a guess..."
This is a memory after all. Sean can't talk to the other party directly, he can only watch quietly like this.
Grindelwald looked at the cracked ceiling of the Hogwarts Great Hall and said nothing for a long time.
After a while, he lowered his head and continued to look at the place where Sean was standing, although in his memory, there should be nothing there.
"If this memory were opened when you were the weakest, you probably wouldn't be able to solve the trouble it caused. However, you and Albus at that time probably didn't know what happened. All of this was probably a slow process.
Slowly unfolding, you will gradually understand all this, according to what I left behind... In my mind, before you open this memory, everything should be within my expectations, or in other words - "Grinder
Waugh waved his wand, and smoke came out of the tip, forming an image of two people.
That's Sean and Dumbledore.
However, the Sean in the picture is taller and seems to have a more assertive temperament than Sean now, and Professor Dumbledore looks a little strange...that's what he looked like in middle age.
"I know you two very well..." Grindelwald murmured softly.
The flames dancing in the auditorium seemed to have lost their temperature, and Sean frowned slightly.
He had never seen Grindelwald in such a lonely posture, and combined with the image of himself and Dumbledore just now, he had a bad idea.
It’s not like in this original timeline, I and Professor Dumbledore are already dead...
However, Grindelwald himself recovered quickly. He tossed the Elder Wand frivolously and said in a relaxed tone: "Sean, I know you are watching me here. It's only you, not Albus."
, it won’t be me at that time... I also know that you must be thinking about what happened to make me make such a decision."
He suddenly smiled mischievously: "You're curious, right? But I won't tell you."
Sean, who was originally a little heavy due to the tragic situation here and Grindelwald's lonely posture, suddenly lost his strength. The corners of his eyes twitched and he rubbed his eyebrows melancholy.
This old man's unlucky look is really irritating...
Grindelwald smiled happily: "You must be scolding me in your heart, hahaha, I allowed it, and I couldn't hear it anyway."
Sean couldn't hold it back and grinned.
Across the gap that could never be crossed, the master and the disciple actually laughed in unison.
The laughter faded, and Grindelwald sighed leisurely: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but if I tell you everything, the moment you leave this memory, the world will look directly at you.
."
"Memories that shouldn't exist, worlds that are contradictory in the picture, and as a wizard who is involved in many things, as the person at the center of the vortex, once you know all about it, the will of the world will fully awaken. At that time, you should
It’s too late to do anything.”
As he said that, he spread his hands, feeling quite helpless.
"This is all my reasoning, but if nothing else happens, it shouldn't be wrong... Of course, if you have found a better solution, then you don't need to worry too much about me. Ha, I
When I said this, I didn't feel any shame at all. It was obvious that everything was caused by me."
"This is probably something I learned from you as a student. I really like the shameless energy deep in your bones."
Sean shook his head when he heard this. Is he so shameless in his heart?
Well, there is indeed a little bit...but Sean feels that he learned this from Grindelwald.
However, he also captured a piece of information: Grindelwald also used the word student for himself.
This shows that in that timeline, he and Grindelwald still had a teacher-student relationship.
This may be the reason why he is sure that the person who can come to see him in this memory must be Sean.
And he could understand Grindelwald saying that he couldn't tell him the truth. Various circumstances had proved how terrifying and sensitive the world's will was. The only thing that made him a little confused was that Dumbledore should have checked Grindelwald's recent information.
A hundred years of memory is the right thing.
However, it only caused a time accident that was not serious at first. One day's time was shortened, and then another day's time was extended.
However, this may be because Dumbledore is too powerful, so he has a certain way to avoid the attention of the world's will.
Grindelwald paused for a while and continued: "In my entire plan, there is only one uncertain point, and that is what the world looks like now. This world has not developed according to my ideas, let alone a new one.
What about the world?"
"But the world will definitely get better," Grindelwald said, clasping his hands behind his back with an extremely confident expression on his face, "This is one thing I am sure of, because two people are always much better than one, right?
"
Two people are better than one?
Sean's pupils shrank.
Could it be said that in that timeline, Grindelwald really...killed Dumbledore?
Otherwise, why would he say that...
No, no, maybe it's a completely opposite world. In the duel in 1945, the victor became Grindelwald, and the one trapped in prison became Dumbledore?
It is foreseeable that Grindelwald will start a war with Muggles.
This war may have failed, and this may be the real reason why Grindelwald traveled through time...
On the opposite side, Grindelwald continued to speak: "Sean, listen. This is the trouble you may face in my reasoning."
"First of all, the most important problem you face should be me. Oh, my God, it's really embarrassing to think about how confused and shocked I am."
"At that time, you should be in a relatively confused state. You don't know the truth of the matter well enough, and there are probably no people who can discuss it. The will of the world is always listening to discordant voices, and you must act accordingly.
Be careful...well, it's troublesome enough."
"The solution I gave is to ignore external resistance and only focus on the center and solve the key points-that is, myself."
Sean frowned, only paying attention to Grindelwald?
He is quite concerned about the other party now. However, to solve this problem, many factors must be taken into consideration. If the returnee is aware of this matter, he will definitely find ways to interfere with him.
In the vortex of time, because Old Grindelwald realized the fact that he traveled through time, he had to use the invisibility cloak to deceive the world and avoid the gaze of the world's will.
Little Grindelwald is in an emotionally unstable state. Thinking about it, he has been imprisoned by his future self for so long without knowing anything. When he wakes up, he finds that the world has not turned into what he dreamed of - it is better not to be angry.
Weird.
The method I came up with was to gain the other party's trust first, so that I could get the other party's cooperation.
He didn't understand what Grindelwald meant.
But the other party answered quickly.
"Before solving this matter, let me tell you some truths about time first - if I travel through time, will the world have to erase me? No, the real reason for the awakening of the world's will is that the changes are too drastic. Time never stops.
It does not change, it just flows smoothly and without change. The impact must be the protruding stone in the long river of time, cutting off the flow and splashing water. Time does not allow such behavior, and the will of the world will erase it.
Stone, while making a huge impact."
"But let us pay attention," Grindelwald stretched out a finger and shook it. "What happens when this protruding stone sinks to the bottom and turns into a pebble that should be in this river?"
"Time has become stable again, and He doesn't care where it flows. The long river of time never fixes the direction it flows -"
Sean's heart moved slightly, and he seemed to understand what the other party meant.
"Yes, Sean. When the two Grindelwalds become one again, you no longer have to worry about how the world will change. Those memories, those changed things, they belong to this world."
"So, don't worry about other things. Even if the world is about to fall down, as long as there is only one Grindelwald in the world, everything will be solved and the collapsed sky will be taken back automatically."
"The only thing I want you to pay attention to is-" Grindelwald's expression became serious, "Consistency."
Consistency? Sean blinked in confusion.
"You don't need to care about other changes. The only thing you need to care about is me."
"If you want the world to accept this changed time, and if you want this to become destiny, then both of you must be consistent."
Both Grindelwalds must be consistent... Sean frowned and thought.
How can young Grindelwald and old Grindelwald be consistent? Although they are indeed the same person, their different experiences in the past hundred years have made them completely different.
The memories of the two people are completely different...
Wait a minute... Sean's eyes lit up.
memory!
Yes, Grindelwald will definitely understand Grindelwald, as long as their experiences are the same, as long as they have the same memories!
He even thought of a way to make little Grindelwald change his mind.
What if we let two people recover the same memory?
No, no, no, this memory is too profound. If he really wants to do this, he needs to copy the memory of nearly a hundred years saved by Dumbledore, and the memory of the old Grindelwald who spent nearly a hundred years in this world. Even, in order to maintain consistency
, but also to replicate the deep memory of little Grindelwald spending time in the darkness when he was imprisoned.
Copy these memories into two copies and give them to two people respectively.
Whether it is to copy the memory or let two people absorb the memory, this is too difficult, and the will of the world will definitely awaken in the process!
If there is no threat from the will of the world, there may be a little room for maneuver, but at present, it is simply unrealistic.
But why can't we think about it the other way around?
It's not easy to copy memories, it's not easy to absorb memories... it's much easier to extract memories...
Yes!
What if Sean could convince the two of them to extract their memories after 1899?
Doesn’t that mean we have reached consistency in memory?!
When the two become one person again, everything becomes a foregone conclusion and the world is destined, even if the river of time flows in completely different directions.
When the time comes, if the extracted memory is given to Grindelwald, it will no longer be an "abrupt sight", but a foregone conclusion, and the will of the world will never awaken again!
The only difficulty is that he can convince the old Grindelwald, but he doesn’t know how to find him. He knows where the young Grindelwald is, but he doesn’t seem to be easy to convince...
At this time, Grindelwald laughed: "Sean, didn't you notice that I haven't spoken for so long?"
"Because I know that my disciple, my only student! He can definitely think of the key to this problem!"
"Yes, extract the memory! Achieve memory consistency!"
"And I will solve your difficulties——"
Grindelwald smiled happily: "Do you think I am really unprepared? Ha, the location and the things that convinced me are all together, oh-oh-oh-I know myself too well,
Know where you will stay~"
"Ha, I'm really a genius——"
"Fuck, this old man is really a spirit..." Even though he was only faced with memories, Sean couldn't help but sigh.
It's like the first lesson he taught himself.
See through people's hearts! See through people's hearts!
