Chapter 928 [Chapter 5] 14
She was stunned for a moment before realizing that she had shown a little tell in front of Dumbledore.
But, now, who cares about that?
She lowered her eyes, trying to sort out the mess in her head—what was destined to happen next, the context and cause and effect of the tragedy in the original book—finally, she looked up suddenly.
As if she had made some kind of decision in just a few minutes, her eyes brightened, and gradually became so bright that it was hard to look at her closely.
"That man, he wants the Elder Wand," she said, word for word.
Dumbledore raised his eyebrows, looking surprised.
"Tom wants my wand?" He asked back in a playful tone, as if he still felt a little absurd, and then said after a pause: "Although the old wand is indeed very useful...but Tom is so superstitious about the old wand. Is it powerful?"
Although Dumbledore's tone was flat, the aura behind the words could be regarded as "the king's contempt".Willow Springs sighed, and replied, "He wants to be the one who can rule the world... so he has to make sure no one can beat him. How can any other wand compare to the Elder Wand in terms of 'tools'?" What about the power?"
Dumbledore snorted, showing a thoughtful expression.
"So, I asked Severus to kill me when necessary, but I caused him trouble..." He said while thinking, as if he had no taboo on the proposition "I was killed" No—it seems that he is also somewhat indifferent to the proposition that "his capable subordinates will be in danger of their lives."He just continued with an extremely calm and objective attitude and tone:
"So, you think, Tom will kill Severus to get the Elder Wand?"
Liu Quan's heart was pounding.Not because of any emotional fluctuations, but because-their conversation has really touched the key point of the plot, that is, the key point of saving the world.
Too bad she couldn't let Dumbledore know that.But this does not prevent her from showing the highest acting skills, and continuing to show her single arrow with emotion——
She said every word clearly: "So, Professor Dumbledore, I beg you. Call the boy—call Harry, and tell him seriously that the Elder Wand will recognize the person who defeated the previous master as A new master comes to serve - no matter what spell is used to defeat it, even the disarming spell."
The old wizard raised one eyebrow in surprise, opened his mouth, and seemed to be about to ask "why" when he realized something, his expression calmed down again, he sighed, and took a sip of the honey tea on the table.
"Oh, my dear child, do you want to play tricks with that person?" He said jokingly, but his eyes were as sharp as a falcon looking over the top of the teacup, and fixed on Liu Quan's face.
"You want to take advantage of the fact that Harry and 'that person' brains are connected, so that 'that person' can see this when they spy on Harry's brain?" He raised his eyebrows, "But, I don't understand..."
"You want Severus to become that person's favorite person by virtue of killing you, that's right." Liu Quan quickly interrupted him, "However, according to my judgment, one of that person's goals is Capture the Deathly Hallows, including the Elder Wand - because the legend says that whoever owns the Deathly Hallows can become the master of Death... if that person thinks that Severus killed you, he will become the Elder Wand What will he do next?... Please don't tell me that all sacrifices are necessary for the greatest good! I can help you fulfill your wish, but you have always understood my goal , isn't it?"
Dumbledore stared at her and sighed for a while.
"Oh, yes, yes. My boy. You don't want Severus dead... I think I see what you mean. Severus is in some danger in that sense... Tom maybe would have killed him in order to truly become Master of the Elder Wand. But if Severus hadn't killed me, how could he have finally fully trusted Tom?"
Liu Quan took a deep breath, "This is the purpose of my request to you today. That person can learn the key to the change of ownership of the Old Wand through Harry's brain, so even if he believes that Severus will Becoming the master of the Elder Wand, maybe he will only use the Disarming Charm to get the Elder Wand..." She paused, shaking her head again, denying this idea to herself. "No, the idea isn't solid enough. I have a surefire way to deal with all this..."
Dumbledore waited patiently for her to continue.
Liu Quan quickly thought about all the problems and key points in his brain, and finally his brows faded, he bit his lip, raised his eyes, and looked at the kind old wizard.
"He has to learn from Harry the key to the Elder Wand's change of ownership. If you think Severus has to kill you to gain that man's trust, that's fine. It's just a matter of disarming spells..."
The expression on Dumbledore's face slowly turned to surprise.
"Oh, my child, you want to go by yourself...?" He didn't finish, shaking his head and stopped. "Do you know the consequences of doing this, it is possible..."
Liu Quan cut him off firmly.
"Yes, of course I know. But I can't let him die."
Because if he died, the world would be over.Voldemort couldn't have lived, of course, but everyone else - the good ones, the innocent ones, good wizards and Muggles, all of them - couldn't have.It's not even something you can solve by sacrificing yourself.
Only he could—he survived, and maybe he could.
However, it was impossible for her to tell all this to the most outstanding white wizard in the world.She could only open her eyes wide and tried her best to show the most sincere expression, hiding her sincerity and sorrow under the single-pointed-headed persona, and said:
"I don't know how that man would kill me. If it was a killing curse, neither I nor Severus would stand a chance... but if he let his snake kill me , It's like the newly developed torture method that I've heard recently—" She paused, her gaze became firm and condensed.
"That snake is also his Horcrux. I can go to the Chamber of Secrets and take the basilisk's fangs and take it with me... I think I have a chance to kill the snake, or at least die with it..."
Some kind of understanding and compassion slowly emerged on Dumbledore's old face.
"I will make sure that in the final battle, Harry is the real master of the Elder Wand." Liu Quan tried to ignore the sympathetic expressions on the old wizard's face, and continued to add in a calm tone, trying to think of every detail, and then persuade This old wizard is so determined that he can even sacrifice himself.Her face was pale and her eyes were burning, revealing a kind of determination to move forward.
"That way Harry will win in the end. Because the Elder Wand won't kill its master. At that point, everything can really be over."
Dumbledore didn't answer her right away.He tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and seemed to be in deep thought. After a while, he said, "Brave girl, I think your request can be fulfilled."
……
Once Dumbledore promised something, it was done very quickly.
A few days later, he called Liu Quan to his office again with an excuse, and asked her to hide in the cabinet in the corner and watch from the sidelines.There, Liu Quan saw that he cleverly led Harry to first ask about being the owner of the Elder Wand, and then he tactfully told Harry the rules of how the Elder Wand changed hands, and emphasized "Expel Arms" How easy it is to use the mantra.
Finally, he put on a sympathetic expression, and taught Harry earnestly: "As the master of death, the Elder Wand will not truly recognize the power of the Death Curse. Only when its owner is alive, using a more powerful force in front of him will kill him." Only when it is captured, it will truly obey. Some people are always frightened by the mystery of the legend, and think that the appearance of the Deathly Hallows can only be accompanied by death... This is a wrong idea. The Deathly Hallows can dominate death, so its pursuit It was never about making death, but about defying death. And when a man can defy death, he is powerful enough to defy all. Remember that, Harry."
Liu Quan, who was hiding in the dark and witnessed all this, wanted to applaud the old wizard.
His performance was so perfect, ten thousand times better than the idea she had hastily thought up at the time.His words almost blocked Voldemort's idea of wantonly killing the former owner of the Elder Wand, and his last sentence was undoubtedly a perfect reminder when Harry finally had to fight Voldemort to the death.She could almost imagine that when Harry was determined to die, took out the Resurrection Stone, one of the Deathly Hallows, and saw his parents, godfather and Professor Lupine, he would definitely remember what the old wizard told him in the principal's office today. What I said, especially the last sentence.
In a sense, Dumbledore's words were not wrong.Moreover, it is indeed a key reminder related to the final outcome.He is worthy of being the biggest backer and master of the righteous side in this story, and he can combine true and false words so well.
When Harry thought he had learned some great truth and left the headmaster's office with a serious face, Dumbledore turned to a corner and blinked.
Liu Quan came out from there, and admired sincerely: "You are indeed very thoughtful. I don't think I have anything more to ask of you."
Dumbledore seemed to be in a good mood, raised his wand with his half-blackened right hand and tapped it, and a plate of zizi honey candy flew to Liu Quan.
"Compared with teaching a little wizard who has a heavy responsibility, I have to say that sweets are more enjoyable, Professor Evans." He motioned Liu Quan to take a few pieces of candy, and he sat back in the chair with a relaxed face When he got down, his wise blue eyes stayed on Liu Quan's face.
"Remember my request to you, then, child," he said at last. "Love makes a man strong. May this great power help us to realize our ultimate desires."
