Chapter 245 Are Fortune Tellers the Source of Change?

The worst still happened.

At this moment, Dumbledore deeply felt the unparalleled ability of the man in front of him to incite. To be honest, even he couldn't help but feel a trace of recognition in the other person's passionate words.

He could not refute, because there were no loopholes in what the other party said here. Indeed, any change could not be without bloodshed, because as long as it could be called a change, there would definitely be opponents.

But Dumbledore still couldn't let go of the other party's indifference to life. Perhaps, all the other party's remarks were all disguises.

Maybe that's just another kind of sophistry - although the magician presupposes a wonderful future and a disaster sweeping the world, these are all presuppositions.

Because something that was preset and might not happen would start such a huge war and ignore countless lives, it was really difficult for Dumbledore not to worry.

If what the magician said were all lies and the other party's purpose was just to rule the magic world all over the world, it would undoubtedly be very terrifying. It would be equivalent to creating an unprecedented world with the blood of countless people in the name of change. The Dark Lord that no one can overthrow.

But Dumbledore couldn't tell the truth from fiction.

Apart from his indifference to life, the magician's performance was indeed flawless.

Before the magician appeared, he had already been mentally prepared. If the other party was just a careerist, a person trying to gain status for himself through change, a future Dark Lord more terrifying than Voldemort, then Dumbledore would not I don’t mind bearing the hatred of those believers and ending their ambitions here——

Of course, this will not change the situation. The wave of change cannot be stopped. Killing the magician cannot erase the seeds of thought. Those believers will only become more determined and strive towards the beautiful civilization they hope for.

But this can prevent wizards from being exploited by careerists and prevent magicians from dragging everything into the abyss after ruling the magic world.

Or, if the other party is a pure idealist, as he shows, and the change is only to save the magical world and create a more brilliant civilization, then Dumbledore does not mind making way for the other party, through his own influence Reduce the damage caused by civil war as much as possible.

The current situation is neither of these two.

The other party seems to be a pure idealist, but also has an absolute disregard for human life.

How can a being who is indifferent to life have such a strong belief in saving lives?

This was so contradictory that Dumbledore could not guess what the magician's true purpose was.

He really wanted to use Legilimency to see the other person's thoughts, but the consequence of this might be to completely stand on the opposite side of the other party. And Dumbledore had a feeling that Legilimency was ineffective against the other party. The other party seemed to have certain abilities. A kind of innate spiritual magic, which also increases the inflammatory nature of the other party's speech.

After a long silence, amid the frenzied shouts of everyone in the hall, Dumbledore finally spoke.

"I don't think I can define whether what you want to do is correct, but as the current minister of the British Ministry of Magic, I will never accept you brazenly starting a war because of some speculation about the future."

He paused and said: "Your thoughts and all your remarks are based on one basic point - you think Muggles will discover the magical world, and you think it will be a war that will destroy wizards."

"But this is all speculation and no one has been able to confirm this."

Dumbledore looked at the believers in the audience and said: "What if this speculation is wrong? If the war between Muggles and wizards would not have happened, then everything you are doing now will only bring death and destruction. Otherwise, what’s the point?”

"Yes, this is just a speculation." The magician admitted this honestly.

"Although all the signs I have seen indicate that the future I speculate will occur, I can never say that it is 100% certain."

"Only one person can be sure that what I speculate will definitely happen——"

"He who can see the future."

Dumbledore's heart moved slightly. He couldn't help but look at the crowd on the left. As if he understood something, he found the figure on the edge of the crowd, next to a fireplace.

Suddenly it all became clear to him.

A soothsayer who can see the future perfectly fills the biggest hole in the magician's mind.

etc--

Therefore, why did the diviner find a way to join Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, why did he propose a duel in the form of a divination class, why did he lead Snape to discover the existence of the magician, and why did he always try his best to show that he knew everything? His divination ability and even his willingness to offend Voldemort are all explained.

This man who can see the future has anticipated this scene from the beginning. Everything he has done in the past few months is just to spread his reputation throughout the magical world and let wizards know that he can really See the future.

Then, when the day comes, he can go on stage and finalize the magician's statement so that no one can refute it.

Maybe he had seen everything he did today and knew from what angle he would refute the magician's remarks. He had never made any predictions about the magician, maybe just to make this scene happen smoothly. .

"I am a soothsayer, and my position is always in the future."

Townsend's words emerged in Dumbledore's mind.

"This is all within the plan, including myself——"

Dumbledore felt terrified for the first time in a while.

"It turns out that the changes started before we knew it. The fortune teller may have been in contact with the magician a long time ago. It was he who brought the magician to England, and it was he who told the magician what will happen in the future. No— —”

Dumbledore's pupils suddenly shrank.

"No, maybe not."

"Maybe magicians are not agents of change after all."

"The magician is not a human being at all. He is a giant dragon with incredible talents. It is obvious that he does not care about human life, let alone the idea of ​​saving lives. The magician's behavior was ordered by others."

"He was just thrust into the forefront and used his strength as a pillar of change."

"And the Easterner who can see the future, the soothsayer who includes everyone in his plan, is the one who really wants change!"

"This can also explain my doubts just now, and can explain why the magician himself and his words and purposes seem to be so contradictory."

"Only humans, humans who can see the future, can gain the enthusiastic support of so many people with the thoughts condensed from their standpoint and their ability to predict."

These crazy speculations made Dumbledore's heart beat violently, and he felt that he had touched the truth.

Dumbledore's gaze naturally attracted the attention of others. The people standing next to Tang Sen couldn't help but look over, and unconsciously made way for a small open space.

Townsend's reputation is well-known in the British wizarding world, and he is still somewhat famous around the world.

Although he has not made any more explosive predictions since Voldemort's prediction of prison break, there has never been any mistakes in the divination skills he demonstrates in class every day. Any young wizard who has taken Tang Sen's class will not shy away from it. Treat these things as bragging rights.

The little wizard is connected to most of the British wizards.

Snape glanced at Dumbledore from a distance, saw the other man nodded slightly, and put his hand on Tang Sen's shoulder.

There was a slight explosion in the air, and the two figures disappeared from the spot. The next moment, they appeared on the high platform next to Dumbledore.

"I think everyone is familiar with him. This is the divination professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Professor Tang."

The magician raised his hand happily and said to Tang Sen: "Countless deeds have proved that his eyes can see the future."

"I remember that Mr. Dumbledore was once the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I believe you should also know Professor Tang's abilities very well."

Dumbledore stared at Tang Sen, trying to find more clues from his expression to prove his crazy speculation, and at the same time said: "Professor Tang does have incredible divination skills."

"So... I wonder if Professor Tang is willing to prove my conjecture for us?" The magician said: "I remember when I gave my first public speech, I remember the place was called the Leaky Cauldron. I was lucky enough to meet Professor Tang. , and you told me that the Internet may only be popularized in three years."

Dumbledore frowned slightly.

He quietly looked at the magician from the corner of his vision. He didn't know if it was a psychological effect. He felt that the other person's attitude towards Professor Tang was somewhat respectful, and the magician's words also vaguely showed that he valued Professor Tang. .

However, no one paid attention to what Dumbledore was thinking at this time. Everyone was looking at Tang Sen.

Tang Sen showed a slightly nervous expression. He nodded politely towards the magician and said, "Mr. Magician, I am honored to stand in front of you. Although we have not had much communication yet, from what I have seen In our future, your presence occupies a vital position."

The magician was stunned for a moment. He opened his mouth slightly and did not answer immediately. It was not until he noticed that Tang Sen's eyes narrowed slightly that he suddenly reacted, coughed slightly, and asked in a calm voice. Said: "What kind of future? Do you see a war between wizards and ordinary people?"

"No, Mr. Magician." Tang Sen shook his head:

"I didn't see that war, that war wasn't going to happen."
