Facing the strange gazes of his younger generation, the old man has nothing to be embarrassed about. To him, all the opinions of the outside world are insignificant.
"Ha, Egypt is indeed a fascinating place, but it's a pity that there is too little information left for us."
The weird Hawaiian and Egyptian mix was worn on Dumbledore, but it was surprisingly not out of place, giving him a natural and down-to-earth style.
Since there were people blocked, Ani didn't rush to speak. He took the pumpkin juice from Dumbledore and listened quietly to his experience during this period.
Then the expression on his face gradually became weird.
After cooperating with Fox to come back to protect him and advance, this old man can let himself go!
It turned out that after being abandoned by the little Phoenix in the Giza Highlands, Dumbledore began his journey of exploration alone.
After he became the principal, he had not had this kind of experience for many years. Gradually, Dumbledore seemed to have returned to his youth and gradually enjoyed it.
He had already made plans to travel around the world before he graduated, but was unable to make the trip due to family changes.
Later, the only remaining brother almost turned against him, and Dumbledore really wandered around for a while.
The endless ocean in the east, the strange rain forests in the west, the blazing deserts in the south, the towering snow-capped mountains in the north, almost every wizard gathering place has left his footprints.
Young people were traveling around the world, and they should have indulged themselves as much as they wanted. However, at that time, Dumbledore's heart was filled with regret for his family. No matter how beautiful the scenery, no matter how legendary the stories were, it was difficult to make waves in his heart.
Today is different from the past. A hundred years has been a long time.
Compared with the past wanderings based on age, this trip of less than two months can only be said to be barely out of the short-term category. The mood at this moment is different from that of that year and that month.
The old principal encountered great changes in the early part of his life. After that, he witnessed too much, experienced too much, created too much, and changed too much. He no longer had any sense of expectation for most things in the world.
Perhaps when his sister left, the ties from human beings became pale to him. Only experiencing the wonders of the world and climbing to the peak of magic are the most colorful colors.
However, today, the White Wizard's path in the human world has almost come to an end, and it is difficult to take another step. The temptation for him to explore another unknown world continues to grow.
"Death is just another great adventure" is not a fancy slogan for him, but a very real fact.
In the words of the white wizard - the end? No, this is not the end of life. Death is just another journey of life.
However, due to recent experiences and perceptions, Lao Dengtou has more expectations for the world, and has postponed another planned journey a little bit.
Or maybe it will become hundreds of millions...
Who knows.
Aini just felt that after this meeting, Dumbledore gave him a different feeling. Even though he could see the sand scattered on the ground when he walked, the old face full of dust became inexplicably alive.
"Clean up."
A certain professor repeatedly warned in his heart that this is the principal's territory, but in the end he couldn't bear to throw out a cleaning spell.
The sparse and falling sand really made him suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder. How many times would he have to be buried alive to build up so much rusticity?
However, the magic spell that Ani exerted with all his strength was lost. The sand on the ground rolled lazily twice, and he continued to lie on the ground pretending to be dead as if nothing happened. He actually felt it from the pile of sand.
Human contempt.
Something was wrong. Aini stared at the sand on the ground with shining eyes. In fact, he opened his true eyes and analyzed it with all his strength.
"Well, Senna was accidentally discovered in the Giza Highlands. At present, I can't tell whether it is a magical creature or some kind of creation."
Dumbledore was also puzzled. There were no traces of man-made creation on this mass of sand, and it had no characteristics of life. If it was an elemental life, it had too little magic power.
‘It shouldn’t be life.’
Ani's tone was affirmative. He also thought about whether Senna might be a silicon-based life form, but then rejected this idea.
"Oh? How can you see it?"
Dumbledore pushed up his glasses and waited for the other party's explanation.
"This little guy is not close to me at all."
Aini took a step forward as he spoke, and the ball of sand immediately moved back, very alert.
Dumbledore was speechless, but he believed Aini's reasons.
There are too many unknown things in the magic world. Even if ordinary items are with the wizard for a long time, they may undergo inexplicable changes by chance.
It’s not unusual to see a group of sand monsters that can walk and move but don’t know where to go.
Ani decided to have time to use the Eye of True Seeing to conduct a comprehensive examination of Senna, but forget it today, there is still business to talk about later.
At this point, he had poured beans into the old principal's ears about what he had done during this period and his next plan.
Dumbledore's expression was dull at first, and then his smile gradually disappeared. In the end, his two eyebrows were almost touching each other, and his whole face was highlighted by a tangle...
If it was Professor McGonagall who made the decision, no matter how beautiful Aniko was, she would not be able to get her to agree to his plan.
Dumbledore felt that it was very interesting, but the details needed to be carefully considered. The old headmaster almost watched Tom go from being patient and trying to be strong to causing trouble. There may not be anyone in the entire wizarding world who understands Voldemort better than him.
people, including the Dark Lord himself.
The first ray of skylight came in through the window. Aini rubbed his throbbing temples. Unexpectedly, he stayed up all night in the principal's office again.
"After the early stage has been basically perfected, we can only take one step at a time."
Lockhart, Little Tom's ghost, Peter, Voldemort, there is no peaceful master among them, so you must be prepared to respond to situations.
"Don't put too much pressure on us. As long as we protect the safety of students, we won't have much to lose even if the plan fails."
When it comes to the safety of the little wizard, Dumbledore's tone is very calm.
After the last serious accident, the then Principal Dippet, with the support of Dumbledore, stood up to all odds and risked the collapse of the Hogwarts contract system by adding seven additional clauses to ensure that the tragedy of that year would not happen.
Will happen again.
After that, Hogwarts' external defense was reduced to the lowest point, but the internal security was turned on to the maximum to ensure that students would not be subject to real life threats in the castle.
But once the relevant contract terms are triggered, the price to be paid is also very scary.
The disaster will not disappear out of thin air, but will be passed on to the person with the first authority of the contract, that is, the principal. As the first oath holder of the contract, Principal Dippet paid the price with his life.
These are secrets that only belong to the principal's family, and even relatives will not tell them.
Dumbledore is not opposed to letting Aini know, but not now, otherwise it will cause unnecessary interference and pressure to him.
After taking over the position of principal, he always carried the burden alone. Now he suddenly felt a little relieved that there was someone to succeed him. He looked at Aini expectantly and thought to himself——
[Go ahead and do it, my chosen successor.]
Dumbledore firmly believed that he would not make the same mistake again and again.
