Chapter 320 The First Generation Phoenix

At this moment, all the portraits of the former headmasters who were dozing suddenly seemed to wake up, opened their sharp eyes and stared directly at Dumbledore, and the entire headmaster's office fell into an eerie silence.

The golden object was a book. Judging from its thick appearance, it had at least two hundred pages, but it looked very light and did not make people feel heavy.

McGonagall had seen this book.

It was many, many years ago, when the Grindelwald Rebellion had just begun to sweep across Europe. She had the honor of glimpsing this book once. I think this is probably the last resort that Dumbledore would take out when he was in extremely serious trouble.

The cover of the book is dark brown. The parchment as the bottom layer on the cover has faded a little because of its age, but the golden silk thread around it still shines with a faint golden glow. In the center of the cover is a phoenix embroidered with gold thread.

Dumbledore's eyes no longer hesitated. He reached out and pressed the phoenix on the cover, and whispered "Phoenix Call".

As the previous headmaster, Armando Dippet seemed to know a lot about this book. He asked in confusion: "Dumbledore, isn't this the book you use to summon the Order of the Phoenix? Didn't you meet them yesterday?"

"Yes, yes," Phineas Black said hurriedly, "If there is anything, just let my useless great-grandson do it for you, right?"

Dumbledore didn't even raise his eyelids. He said softly: "What I summoned is not the Order of the Phoenix you saw yesterday, but the first generation of the Order of the Phoenix!"

In the original book, the Order of the Phoenix was formed by Dumbledore in the 1970s to fight against Voldemort's forces. Many of its members had died in the First Wizarding War. However, in the world that Schelling traveled through, just like the Walpurgis Knights, the predecessor of the Death Eaters, the founding of the Order of the Phoenix can actually be traced back to a much earlier period.

Long before Dumbledore was born, the wizarding world actually had a very mysterious academic circle, in which academic leaders from all walks of life communicated. Due to its confidentiality and closedness, its origin is no longer traceable.

When Dumbledore emerged as a student with various academic achievements, he was noticed by several bigwigs in the circle at the time, such as Nicolas Flamel, the master of alchemy, Adelbert Waffling, the founder of modern magic theory, and Bathilda Bagshot, a hardcore historian, and was therefore pulled into the circle.

After Dumbledore became successful, he also recruited talents from all over the world to join this circle, in order to promote those younger generations with great potential.

You know, because the wizarding world has not experienced the industrial revolution like the Muggle world, the financial system is still in the era of being linked to precious metals, so the currency circulating in the market is extremely limited. Those ambitious young wizards who want to conduct any research, or start a business like the Wesley twins, or even conduct business innovation, need a lot of connections to obtain investment.

It can be said that these younger generations who were recruited into the circle by Dumbledore owed Dumbledore a great favor, and Dumbledore also used this to expand his international influence.

This mysterious circle was originally just a place for academic exchanges and resource exchanges, but after Dumbledore's rise, as a wise man of a generation who was resourceful and decisive, he keenly perceived the power represented by this circle.

When Grindelwald started the war, Dumbledore, who was able to see through people's hearts, took advantage of the character weaknesses of several passionate wizards in the circle and dragged several famous wizards in the academic world into the battlefield. Among them were Newt Scamander, an authority on magical biology, and Eulalie Hicks, professor of spells at Ilvermorny. Because of the relationship between these two people, more powerful wizards were also pulled in, such as Newt's brother, Theseus Scamander, director of the British Auror Office, and Newt's lover, Porpentina (Tina) Goldstein, director of the American Auror Office...

"Is it necessary to do this?" Phineas Black said disapprovingly: "Vol Voldemort is very strong, but his die-hard supporters, the pure-blood families, have been declining so much in the past few years. Can he subvert the entire wizarding world by himself? "

A shrewd look flashed in Dumbledore's eyes, and he slowly said: "If it was just Voldemort, there would be no need to go to so much trouble... The problem is..." Dumbledore coughed lightly, "The real situation at the moment and what you see may... It should be said that it is likely to be very different..."

Although Phineas Black has passed away for a long time, his portrait is still active in many places, so he is also quite familiar with the current situation in the wizarding world.

He said, "You mean... Grindelwald? He is indeed a trouble, but after being imprisoned for so many years, his magic should have regressed significantly."

"Not just him..." Dumbledore shook his head gently, "Think about it, Grindelwald was imprisoned for so many years, how did he escape... I can't tell the real situation, but I have a premonition - the development of things has far exceeded my imagination!"

It must be said that as a legendary wizard who has entered that legendary level, his premonition is very accurate.

A few hours passed.

McGonagall had left earlier to perform her duties as deputy headmaster - in the current situation, it is obvious that Dumbledore's main energy will be focused on fighting against the Death Eaters and the Alliance of Witches, and managing The entire responsibility of Hogwarts can only fall on her.

Following a bright firelight, several figures walked out of the fireplace in the principal's office, following the flames.

At a glance, Dumbledore saw that most of the characters who appeared were the same as he had expected - the Scamander brothers, the Goldstein sisters, Eulalie Hicks, Bendy Brodeck, Eu Sov Kama...Although they are no longer young, their eyes are still burning with fighting spirit——

The fighting spirit to uphold justice!

As these people just walked out of the fireplace, before they had time to say hello, another firelight lit up, and an old figure and two figures who looked like middle-aged men came out.

"Is it you?" Dumbledore looked slightly surprised, obviously unprepared for the appearance of these three people.

The leader of the old man snorted coldly and said, "What? Don't you welcome an old friend here?"

"How could it be?" Dumbledore showed a rare smile, "You are a rare visitor! I haven't even had time to welcome you - Mr. Potter..." Dumbledore turned his eyes to the two male wizards behind him, "These two are..."

"My two useless sons - the eldest, Ren..." He pointed to the thinner one, "He retired from the Aurors after the First Wizarding War and is now an international bounty hunter, specializing in apprehending international He is a repeat offender. He has been entangled with Cobra in the Middle East for the past few years. It is normal that you have never heard of him..."

The author is still struggling with life, so he can only write one during the spring break.

I wish all readers a happy Year of the Dragon!
