Chapter 993 Guardian System
Hyperion, captain's quarters.
Xenophilius's voice traveled thousands of miles and echoed in the ears of Elena and the three little ones.
Mr. Lovegood's attitude did not surprise Elena. From the moment she wrote Luna's name, this was inevitable.
Unlike the immature three little ones, all the Major Arcana present were very clear about what they were undertaking and the risks hidden behind it.
Although no one mentioned it, everyone knew that if they failed, there would be a counterattack from the whole world.
Perhaps the middle and low-level people can escape trial, but as the initiator of the Major Arcana, none of them can even think of escaping unscathed.
"So, what is your reason, Mr. Hermit?"
Elena grabbed Luna's right hand under the table, patted the back of her hand gently, and asked with a smile.
"This is the Great Arcana meeting. What you just said should be based on your identity as a 'hermit', right?"
She glanced meaningfully at the magical projections of other members of the Major Arcana in the air.
If there is no reasonable argument, let alone Xenophilius Lovegood, even she cannot force others to obey her at the Major Arcana Conference. If an old father confuses this, She didn't mind launching an impeachment and limiting the vote in front of Luna.
"Today we are talking about the Reserve Major Arcana, not anyone's daughter or relative, Mr. Hermit."
Grindelwald grinned and reminded Xenophilius intentionally or unintentionally.
Xenophilius Lovegood still maintained a serious expression. He sat up straight, apparently unaffected by the two demon kings.
"Yes, let me put it bluntly - Luna Lovegood is my daughter, well, this is the core reason why I object to her becoming the reserve Major Arcana. Her joining will break the Major Arcana To maintain the original balance. Bloodline is the most powerful alliance, and if she becomes the 'Priestess' and takes over Gringotts' side of the business, it will inevitably cause confusion between the rights of The Quibbler and Gringotts."
"Sorry." Elena said in a brisk tone, "Mr. Hermit, I may have to correct you. There is no necessary connection between the 'Priestess' and Gringotts Wizarding Bank. The latter is split from my side. Going out to work...you seem to be confusing the cause and effect between the two.”
"Blood does not represent a person's position, but means independence and difference. This is the answer of history."
Nico Flamel knocked on the table and nodded towards Elena, taking the initiative to show kindness.
"Unfortunately, Miss Lovegood is obviously not old enough to be independent yet—"
Xenophilius retorted quickly, turned his head to look at Mr. "Pope" who had been watching from the sidelines, and continued.
"At least for the first-year students of Hogwarts, this stage is too early. Whether it is ability, intelligence, or character, Luna still has a long way to go before she can deal with the problem on her own. Underage wizards I think training should be done step by step.”
Dumbledore nodded slightly and said unhurriedly:
"For now, the three young ladies are indeed too young."
He adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, crossed his fingers on the desk, and looked forward through the screen with his blue eyes.
Every outstanding leader of the era will inevitably be surrounded by more than one supernova.
Compared to old guys like them who are dying, there is nothing wrong with Elena finding and cultivating companions of her own, but this does not mean that they are qualified to go to the end, let alone stand up so early and hastily. Stage, dance freely.
More than a year ago, he misjudged Elena's destructive power, and he would not make the same mistake this time.
Moreover, unlike Elena, who is emerging and has impressive cases that impress everyone, the other three little witches are too immature.
Just as Xenophilius said, Dumbledore doesn't think they are qualified to shoulder so much responsibility now.
Of course, this is also the purpose of their meeting here today.
"The world belongs to us and to them, but in the final analysis it belongs to them who are younger."
Dumbledore's ten fingertips met, his eyes lowered to look at the back of his increasingly dry hand, and he continued calmly.
"If everything goes well, before the world changes drastically, they should have the ability to sort out, coordinate the chaos, and guide those things to the right track. Therefore, we can select some potential children in advance and treat them carefully and plannedly We need to provide guidance so that they can avoid some of the detours we have taken before, grow up better and faster, and welcome the new era.”
"Miss Lovegood, Miss Granger, Miss Abbott, they are the first batch of children to be selected, but they are by no means the last batch..."
"It is too early to discuss whether they can be promoted to the Major Arcana. It is like pointing at a child who has just entered school and guessing whether she can become the Minister of Magic in the future. It has no meaning - it can really tell us what the final outcome will be. The only answer is time.”
"Therefore, I expanded on Miss Fool's proposal and established a guardian system for 'underage Tarot members'."
Hearing this, Elena's pupils shrank suddenly, and her carefree smile that had nothing to do with her disappeared instantly.
In terms of verbal expression, Dumbledore seemed to be explaining to her that it would make sense for her to be replaced by a guardian.
However, with the establishment of the 'Guardian System', the differences are much greater - this means that Spicy Old Carrot is turning this special incident into a long-term system for the continuous cultivation of Tarot Society members.
You know, if it were replaced by "underage Tarot members", it would not only cover Hermione, Luna, and Hannah.
Not to mention that there are middle and lower-level members like Draco Malfoy and Irina Ivanovich in the school. The most crucial point is that she herself is also an "underage Tarot member". The intention of a guy like Spicy Old Carrot in choosing his words is too obvious.
Elena originally thought that Hermione, Luna, and Hannah would be the focus of the dispute.
who knows……
The moment Dumbledore finished speaking, Elena narrowed her eyes.
Oh, that’s it!
She raised her eyebrows high and looked up at the white-haired old wizard, with a clear understanding in her heart.
From beginning to end, was she the real target of Dumbledore?
