Chapter 71 Interaction

Kane doesn't think he is a good person, but he still has some good qualities.

Like, be as honest as possible.

At the pawn shop, what he told the straight man Owen was the truth.

He didn't intend to stay behind the scenes all the time and be an insidious manipulator.

Instead, I announced to the world in an upright manner: Whether you accept it or not, this is me.

Of course, that doesn't mean he likes to surprise or frighten his presence.

So foreshadowing and a suitable opportunity are essential.

Dumbledore's visit was an opportunity.

Yesterday, before finishing the conversation with the guide and preparing to leave, he glanced outside the secret realm and sensed that someone had arrived.

He guessed at the time that it was probably Dumbledore.

Only Dumbledore, who can observe the sky at Hogwarts, knows that something happened here.

Sure enough, not long after, Dumbledore's letter arrived.

He felt that since Dumbledore had this thought, it was a good time to pick up the opportunity and have an in-depth communication.

There are some things that one cannot blame others for being suspicious. The rise of the Shafiq family itself is extraordinary. Whether it is speed or height, it cannot be explained by a benefactor.

Anyone with a little brain can understand that Pandora, who was kicked out of her home and lived in the Muggle world, did not have the basic conditions to deepen her professional knowledge of magic.

As for Catherine, her life experience has been observed by many caring people with a magnifying glass. Even who she admired in school, who she was pursued by, and what embarrassing things happened, and even how many points she scored in the potion course in a certain school year, were all investigated. clearly.

Just like what Kane told her back then: From now on, learn to live in the spotlight.

Being noticed, being fleshed out, and having very little privacy, these troubles are the price of being famous.

After the life history is seen through, no one will think that Catherine is the technical leader of the Shafiq family.

Then all that's left is Kane.

Although the groundwork started early in the morning.

Although the International Federation of Magic awarded Kane the first-class Merlin Medal because of the black hemp and magic tears, adding to his aura, he became the youngest master of potions that had never been seen before, and I am afraid that there will be no one in the future.

However, no one wants to believe this is the truth, including Dumbledore.

If so, he would not have sent Kane an invitation to enroll, because doing so would be asking for humiliation.

"There is a saying in the East that goes, 'If you don't want to grow old, you can live a hundred years without ambition.' In fact, there is a similar saying in Britain. People also admit that life is more about quality than quantity. But in reality, most people would rather put These principles are just talkative stuff.”

Kane said as he walked down the marble stairs calmly.

For Dumbledore and Minerva at that moment, it was like the debut of a well-spoken, if slightly ostentatious adult academic.

What's interesting is that if you understand it this way, it fits well with the scene, atmosphere, and even the existence of Catherine. This is where the master of the castle comes into play.

"Your Excellency Dumbledore, Miss McGonagall, hello, welcome to both of you. First of all, I would like to apologize for not being able to welcome you far. I am dealing with a little bit of residual problems from yesterday's accident. In addition, I would like to Through my own observation, I can find some problems here, so that it will not be too abrupt when talking about it, and I can skip a lot of foreshadowing links and save each other's time."

Kane said and nodded his respects. As the actual heir to the Highland Baronetship, the helm of the Magic Eye Chamber of Commerce, and the winner of the Order of Merlin, he has the qualifications to be on an equal footing with any wizard including Dumbledore. Now this etiquette is With this qualification, otherwise he would have to bow down to salute to be considered impolite.

Dumbledore and Minerva also quickly adjusted their status,

Call Kane Mr.

Although this title can be obtained by young wizards as soon as they enter the school, in fact, not many people take it seriously, including the young wizards themselves.

The subtext of this title is actually: You should know the basic truth, and you need to bear the consequences for your words and deeds.

But today is different from the past. There is no need for children of the poor to be head of the family early, to be fathers at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and to die after twenty years is considered a normal death.

So when the word "Mister" was used on the little wizard, it became light and fluffy, and it became a kind of empty courtesy.

But Dumbledore and McGonagall did not show this 'falseness' now. They are solemn, formal, with a correct attitude and full of emotions.

Kane nodded secretly.

It wasn't because the two recognized his qualifications, but because he felt that the ability to quickly change his mind and accept a certain possibility was the basic quality of a strong man.

Only with a strong heart can we have a good mentality and deal with it calmly.

The kind of people who don't believe it, or are inexplicably surprised, yelling, 'How is this possible! ’ Yes, it can only be said that I don’t even have the courage to admit the truth, and the compulsion is lost in an instant.

With such a preposition, the subsequent communication was rather simple. After some simple greetings and mutual compliments, Catherine and McGonagall, as well as Pandora who appeared later, had some conversations between women, while Dumbledore and the real Kane, the head of the family, is the dialogue between men.

Kane didn't show Dumbledore the record of yesterday's battlefield, but Nerva, Faust, the gray-haired old man, and the witch hunters showed him one by one in short clips captured from the footage.

Dumbledore also shook his head accordingly, and identified that the gray-haired old man should be the rumored guardian of the Lestrange family, Allen, and Nerva was also a rumored celebrity. Although there was no shortage of anecdotes, Deng Bullido knows some valuable information, such as what Nerva has really experienced, what the family environment is like, and so on.

"Hearing what you said, I sorted out my thoughts."

Kane commented: "What Nerva wants is probably to regain faith in this materialistic world through extraordinary means."

"Alan is a fighting dog who is habitually obstructive and refuses to give up easily."

"Faust's mind seems to be the most complicated. I don't really believe that he is the kind of person who is willing to risk his life for a debt, at least not so pure."

Kane thought about it: "Faust does not lack small money, nor does he have a high desire for power, and he is not the kind of grand thief who robs the rich and helps the poor, and spreads his monopoly technology. Then why is he?"

Dumbledore put down the black teacup doubled with honey, and said, "Perhaps it was to obtain information. It is rumored that his beloved was terminally ill and could not be cured, so he sealed him in an ice coffin."

"I can understand counting on the ancient potion to save lives. I can't understand the way it is adopted. Would you rather believe that people will do their best under duress, rather than through normal negotiations and transactions? If this is the case, then he has repeatedly tried to protect Alan , which is unusual.”

"If you really have a certain degree of confidence in the treatment, maybe you can ask the other party out to communicate. After all, he is already the few remaining people in the wizarding world who are proficient in elemental magic."

Kane's analysis: "What Faust showed this time is the power of the earth element, and it also has the characteristics of darkness and corruption, and he has used the skill of 'swimming fish on the earth'. If the rumor of the ice coffin is true, then from the water wind A variant of ice element, transformed into a variant of soil and water, mud element, to do such a thankless task, and to be exposed to darkness and corruption, I think what he needs to solve should also include the problem of getting his soul back from the underworld."

Dumbledore frowned. He also had a little research on elemental magic, knew the opposing qualities of elements, and knew that darkness and corruption meant studying death.

If it is the former, it is just a waste of work and the loss outweighs the gain, but that is its own business. Then the latter will definitely affect others. Research starts with observation, and then conducts various tests, all of which are inseparable from the concept of creating death, that is, killing.

As for a wizard who fell into this state, it can only be said that the stronger he is, the more serious the disaster will be.

Dumbledore said heartily: "It seems that France also has its own Dark Lord!"

The young man with a sleepy look appeared in Kane's mind, and he thought: "Maybe those who show to others are all disguises..."
