149. Recognize the enemy (please subscribe!)
Dunn reached out and grabbed Fox and held it in his arms.
Fox struggled a bit at first, but soon gave in to Dunn's superb cat-stroking skills, craned his neck into Dunn's arms, and looked quite enjoy.
After licking the phoenix for a while, Dunn raised his head and looked at Dumbledore behind the desk.
"Professor, members of the Dumbledore family can summon Fox anytime and anywhere, and Fox always arrives in time. I don't think it's because Fox happens to be near the summoner every time, right? 55
Dumbledore chuckled appreciatively.
"What do you think is the reason?"
Dunn stroked Fox's soft feathers.
"If I'm not mistaken, in addition to being immortal, phoenixes should also have a teleportation ability similar to Apparition. I don't know if they can just do this on their own, or they can teleport with others."
Dumbledore laughed and winked at Dunn when he was done.
"You also have the ability to summon Fox, why don't you try it?"
That's what Dunn was waiting for.
Of course he could summon Fox, but Dumbledore would be suspicious if he called Fox for no reason.
Well now, he can finally collect the blood of the phoenix openly.
Part of it is given to Tom to do blood magic research, and the other part is of course upgraded for the Gryffindor sword.
After becoming the eternal holy artifact, the Gryffindor sword can absorb the blood of seven magical creatures in total to obtain the opponent's innate abilities.
Absorbs the blood of a feathered snake to gain lethal sight.
Absorb Boggart to gain shapeshifting abilities.
Absorbs Thunderbird blood to gain speed.
If you absorb the blood of the phoenix again, you can get the ability to respond to the summon teleportation.
As a result, Dunn has another powerful hole card for the Triwizard Tournament.
And that's why Dumbledore came to Dunn.
"When I announced the news of the Triwizard Tournament in the auditorium, I lied that the lowering of the age of the contestants was not a request from the Armstrong School, but my own initiative."
"To preserve Beauxbatons' reputation?"
"If someone asked, I would definitely answer yes, but there is no need to hide it from you, in fact, since Gellert launched the three-strong challenge, he knew I would definitely do it. 35
Dumbledore rose from his seat.
"When your opponent was a prophecy master, you had to prepare for all your plans to be understood in advance by your opponent. Of course, you don't need to be overly nervous. Predictions can often only predict the general direction of things, and the accuracy needs to be improved, of course. The best way to defeat a prophecy master is to convince the other party that his prophecy is accurate.
Dumbledore stared at Dunn.
"There is no doubt that Gellert's real target is you!"
Dunn wasn't surprised at all, but when Dumbledore broke the news, he was taken aback.
Being targeted by the Dark Lord Greenwald so quickly, Dunn didn't know whether he should be helpless or happy.
After all, it was an honor to be marked as an opponent by the Dark Lord.
Harry in the normal timeline, didn't he become the savior because of a lightning scar?
"He knew that I and the British Ministry of Magic would demand that the contestants be reduced in age to preserve Beauxbatons' reputation, and that was in his favor, he wanted you to compete and then get rid of you in the competition.
Dunn spoke suddenly.
"Professor, may I ask a question?
"Of course. 35
"Will Greenwald do it himself?"
"He didn't have the chance because he knew I was going to keep an eye on him.
Dunn was taken aback.
"Professor, you mean—"
"Yes, as Armstrong's principal, Gellert will personally lead the team to participate in this Triwizard Tournament.
The news came as a shock to Dunn.
The Dark Lord is coming to Ho (cgdb) Gwarts!
No wonder Dumbledore didn't announce the news when he was in the auditorium just now. If he did, it would be expected that a large number of students would leave the school soon.
Of course, things weren't really that bad.
"Professor, you still can't take a shot at Greenwald?"
Dumbledore shrugged regretfully.
"I'm afraid so.
Dunn didn't ask Greenwald why he dared to come.
The answer is obvious, if Dumbledore doesn't take action, as long as Greenwald wants to leave, no one can keep him.
Again, Greenwald is a master of prophecy.
If there was an ambush, he would have noticed it in advance.
The last reason is more realistic.
In the current situation of overall dominance, Greenwald estimates that he would like the British Ministry of Magic to attack him, so that there are sufficient reasons to declare war on the British Ministry of Magic.
While this battle is ultimately inevitable, neither side is really ready for it right now.
Dunn thought about it and found that Greenwald was really coming for himself when he started this Triwizard Tournament.
Although the Triwizard Tournament is famous, in the eyes of wizards at the level of Dark Lord Greenwald, it is no different from child's play.
If it weren't for the purpose of destroying the Son of Prophecy, how could the Dark Lord have the spare time to lead the team to participate in the competition?
It can't be to visit Dumbledore, a friend, right?
Although Greenwald didn't see Dunn as a direct opponent, Dunn always saw Greenwald as a rival.
Against such an enemy, Dunn can't afford to take it lightly.
"Professor, I assure you that there is a way to be sure that it must be Greenwald himself, right?
Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, then realized that Dunn was worried about Greenwald playing tricks because of Cresden's impersonation of Aberforth last time.
Let his subordinates drink the compound decoction to pretend to be himself, and then hide in the dark and wait for an opportunity to act.
Dunn's concerns were right, and Dumbledore wasn't trying to hide his relationship with Greenwald.
"Because of some things back then, Gellert and I signed a blood oath of not harming each other, and the token was kept by Gellert. Before the Paris War, I asked Newt to help destroy the token, but unfortunately it didn't work.
"Unless Gellert destroys the blood oath token, or he and I will have an induction whenever we meet, the compound decoction can pretend to be Gellert's appearance, but it can never pretend to be the induction between the blood oath. 99
