The Hogwarts Professor at Marvel

Chapter 284 Grindelwald: It's a talent, I want it (two in one, ask for a ticket)

"The problem facing the wizarding world in the future?"

Hearing the question raised by the prophet, Lockhart muttered to himself.

"That's right, Professor Lockhart." Grindelwald nodded, "I'm curious about your thoughts."

Hearing this, Lockhart smiled.

This is when he is stupid and sweet, or a scholar who only knows academics and does not know human relationships.

I thought he would answer whatever question he asked.

Immediately, he laughed: "Actually, I made a simple statistics from the books and Hogwarts' annual enrollment list before, and I guessed the problem."

"Others, I haven't studied too much."

Grindelwald could naturally hear the perfunctory inside, but he wasn't annoyed, it was just a simple temptation.

It would be best if the other party could tell, and let him find out.

If he doesn't say it, it means that the other party is not a wizard like Newt who only knows how to focus on his own field and is poor in other aspects.

There should be vigilance and a sense of alertness.

Well, at least it won't be easy for Dumbledore to use again.

Then, I heard the other party ask me back: "Mr. Prophet, what do you think about the future development of the wizarding world?"

"When we communicated in letters before, I felt that you should have thought deeply about this aspect."

Grindelwald heard Lockhart ask himself a question, and said, "Actually, I don't think much about it. I read your point of view from the newspaper last time, which gave me a lot of inspiration."

"The current number of wizards is indeed showing a shrinking trend, and it will definitely become a big problem in the future."

"But I believe that with the emergence of meditation, the future development of the wizarding world will definitely usher in a new opportunity."

Hearing this, Lockhart sighed inwardly, but he was not surprised.

Talk lightly!
It seems that they all understand this truth, especially if the other party is an old monster who has lived for an unknown number of years.

Although Xin communicated through letters before, but this is the first time they have met, and they will not reveal their true inner thoughts.

What is really revealed is often silly and sweet.

Turning his mind, Lockhart continued his academic discussion.

It is impossible to talk openly about other things, but in terms of academics, as long as it does not involve the core, you can talk openly.

Through other aspects, it is also possible to test out the prophet's inner attitudes towards various groups.

"Mr. Prophet, you are an expert in ancient runes. I have introduced runes to you before, and I also mailed a book of personal research materials."

"I don't know what you think of these two runes?"

Lockhart's question made Grindelwald ponder for a moment.

He has also studied runes specifically, and he has to praise that this rune seems to present a new rune system.

Novel, systematic, and practical!
Yes, what surprised him most about this rune system was its practicality.

He is a typical interestist, the first thing he looks at is the actual value.

"Professor Lockhart, actually I don't have much research on runes, but I can feel his charm."

"He can be of great help in all aspects of magic."

"From the improvement of mental power, the conversion of magic power, including casting spells, resonating with magic power, etc., it seems to be an all-round increase."

"It has to be praised. Compared with the ancient runes, he is very practical, and he can even achieve some magic through the runes."

"Comparing the two, many runes can be used directly, while ancient runes need to be used indirectly, such as magic items, magic circles, etc."

"I think that for the fusion of the two types of runes, we can focus on how the ancient runes have direct properties."

"."

Lockhart was also slightly shocked when he heard the prophet talk about the difference between the runes he knew and the ancient wishful runes.

Sure enough, different people have different perspectives.

The way of thinking of this prophet is actually closer to the essence.

He also had related ideas before, but he didn't sum it up. Hearing this, he found that it was indeed of great research significance.

Focusing on direct and indirect points, more research work can be carried out in the future.

It can even be used as a breakthrough point.

As expected of an old monster, he grasped the key points so quickly, it seems that his previous thinking was correct.

It is to use the wisdom of the entire wizarding world, especially the wisdom of these top wizards, to help him deduce a new magic system.

You must not rely on the deformed magic system in the Marvel world. Without great luck, it is simply courting death.

Lockhart praised while thinking.

Seeing Lockhart's reaction, Grindelwald also nodded slightly.

Not to mention anything else, this wizard Lockhart has an obvious thirst for knowledge, and this is a point that can be broken through.

Afterwards, the two continued to focus on the new chat direction, while conducting academic exchanges, while conducting various small trials to obtain more information.

"Mr. Prophet, it turns out that the ancient rune 'wind' has so many meanings. The information I found in the Hogwarts library seems to be somewhat limited."

"I don't know if there are any books on more runes in your family. If your family allows you to borrow them, I am willing to pay a price and borrow them for a period of time."

See if you have a close relationship with the pure-blood family?

"Professor Lockhart, this is no problem. They are all from my collection. I just happen to be interested in runes, so we can exchange them."

Grindelwald seemed to say casually, and then asked: "By the way, I heard before that Dumbledore also participated in the study of runes. It seems that Dumbledore is also very concerned about this aspect."

Well, how deep is the relationship between Dumbledore and you, Lockhart?
"The principal did participate in my research." Lockhart nodded and said, "In this regard, it has given me a lot of help."

"For example, the initial idea of ​​meditation, and the subsequent entry of Squib students into Hogwarts and so on."

Lockhart replied briefly, and began to ask again: "Mr. Prophet, I feel that ancient runes were inseparable from alchemy at first, which may have caused a certain bias in the process of perfecting the rune system."

"What do you think?"

Grindelwald, after hearing this, thought for a while and said, "There is nothing wrong with your thinking, it is indeed very possible."

"The wizard's will directly determines the direction of the development of things. At that time, many wizards were crazy about the pursuit of magic items."

"It's normal to focus more on the effect of runes on magic items."

"."

The communication between the two was in the beginning.

But later, it became more and more tacit.

You test me once, I tell you the answer, and then I test you again.

There are a lot of academic exchanges in the middle, so that the temptation becomes natural.

In terms of academics, the two chatted openly. Except for some key information, the other chats were not too guarded.

In terms of probing, everyone will disclose certain information. As for whether it is true or not, it is up to the other party to judge, but they will definitely answer.

Such a tacit understanding made the two of them quickly get acquainted.

At the same time, the two sides gradually have a certain impression of each other's character.

Well, to put it simply, it is an old fox and a young fox.

The performance of the Prophet made Lockhart sigh. He is worthy of being an old monster who has lived for many years. He has a strong control over the topic and is very cautious.

And Lockhart's performance also surprised Grindelwald.

I thought it was an academic scholar, but I didn't expect that the other party performed extremely well in all aspects.

Facing the various temptations he had just faced, he handled them with ease, and quickly formed a tacit understanding afterwards.

With such a tacit understanding.

When the two met for the first time, they communicated as if they were friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.

Vaguely, he seemed to see his past self or Dumbledore, or even a combination of the two.

The same amazing talent, the same versatility.

Knowing how to advance and retreat will not cause embarrassing situations, and the details in all aspects are done very well.

However, the other party's characteristic is obvious, that is, the other party's thirst for knowledge.

I have to let Grindelwald sigh, it is indeed a raven from Ravenclaw, and its greed for knowledge is vividly demonstrated.

As time passed, the frequency of communication between the two slowly decreased.

It seems that they are very satisfied with this exchange and have obtained a lot of information.

Before it was about to end, Grindelwald seemed to think of something, and said, "Professor Lockhart, I have to say that the emergence of meditation is an epoch-making significance."

"But again, I would advise you to be a bit more cautious in your actions these days."

"Oh, is it convenient to talk about it in detail? Mr. Prophet." Lockhart asked curiously.

"According to the information I received, you haven't been submitting papers to journals such as Philosopher's Stone recently. During this period of time, there has been a lot of activities in pure-blood families."

"Now, the next issue of the journal is very close, I suggest you pay attention." Grindelwald reminded.

Hearing this, Lockhart was a little taken aback, as if Grindelwald's words had awakened him suddenly, and said in a deep voice: "Thanks for the reminder, I will also pay more attention to the movements of pure-blood families recently."

Then, as if thinking of something, he waved his magic wand lightly, and an exquisite black gift box floated in midair.

Then slowly fell in front of Grindelwald.

Looking at the gift box in front of him, Grindelwald was a little curious, but he didn't find any strange smell, not even the slightest energy fluctuation.

Explain that the gift box itself is a magic item.

And this gift needs a magic item to carry it, which shows that its value is definitely not low.

Seeing the other party's curious eyes, Lockhart introduced: "Mr. Prophet, I had a great time chatting today, and your last reminder is very important to me."

"This gift is for you. I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future, and I hope we can become friends in the future."

After hearing this, Grindelwald smiled and said, "Then thank Professor Lockhart."

Then, waved away.

During the exchange just now, it was obvious that Professor Lockhart revealed his willingness to win him over and join his research.

This gift may not only be the other party's thanks, but also the other party's wooing.

Of course he will not be polite.

Just now he provided a key piece of information.

And Lockhart had a smile on his face when he saw the Prophet put away the gift.

Academic exchanges are just to seduce each other's curiosity.

A new piece of magical knowledge with unlimited potential will definitely arouse the opponent's message.

But if you want to convince the other party, you need a new temptation.

And his gift, for the old monster, I believe it is absolutely attractive.

As for the pure-blood family that the Prophet reminded just now, he didn't care.

The pure blood family's every move is now in his eyes, and he is now waiting for the other party to launch, and then hit them hard in one fell swoop.

Afterwards, the two wizards with their own thoughts bid farewell and left one after another.

On the table, there were only two finished wine glasses left.

Nurmengard, castle study.

It was snowing outside, the cold wind was howling, and the magic stove in the study was burning.

For the empty study, drive away the severe cold.

At this moment, suddenly.
call!
The blue flame rose up.

It turned and disappeared, revealing the figure of a middle-aged wizard with an owl tucked over his shoulder.

It seems to return to a familiar environment.

Nubi flapped his wings and flew towards the bracket beside the wall. At the same time, he changed his body shape, and an eagle gradually appeared.

Finally, the two claws firmly grasped the bracket, and looked around with sharp eyes.

At the same time, Grindelwald gently opened his hand, and the dark blue clothes fell off automatically, like hanging on a hanger beside him.

At the same time, as he walked towards his desk, his figure gradually changed.Restore your original appearance.

A head of white hair, a slightly old face, but the spirit is still there.

Sitting at the desk, he thought carefully about this exchange with Lockhart.

After a while, a trace of emotion appeared in his eyes.

It's a talent, a good seedling.

The only pity is that he has a good relationship with Dumbledore now.

But it doesn't matter, later, some time to deal with slowly.

Convince the other party, join yourself, he is very familiar.

Immediately afterwards, as if thinking of something, he waved his hand lightly, and a black gift box was placed on the desk.

Stretch out your wand and tap lightly.

In an instant, the gift box was opened.

But at the same time.
A breath of life rushed over.

Looking at a small bottle in the middle of the gift box, and the emerald green powder in the bottle that is only the size of a fingernail.

Grindelwald's eyes fell into deep thought, and at the same time, a playful smile appeared on his face.

He reached for the bottle and poured a little from it.

Feeling the huge breath of life contained in this little powder, he swallowed it without hesitation.

Then, close your eyes, feel the vitality slowly emerging in your body, and nourish your slightly aging body and soul.

A moment later, Grindelwald opened his eyes, and there was a flash of surprise and fleeting greed in his eyes.

This Professor Lockhart really has something.

Just don't know, does Dumbledore know?

It's really interesting if you don't know.

Turning his thoughts, Grindelwald waved his hand lightly, and a white envelope appeared on the desk.

Seeing this, Grindelwald picked up the quill next to him, and slowly wrote on the envelope.

"Investigate the detailed plans of the British wizarding family against Lockhart."

"Mobilize the power of European saints, support the plan of the pure-blood family, and suppress Gilderoy Lockhart to the maximum."

"."

Conquering a person is the most effective in difficult times.

This is his many years of experience.
