Nicole Mailer didn't turn down Dunn's offer.
He said he would have a good talk with Dumbledore about it at a later date.
After speaking, Nicole Mailer suddenly looked at Dunn.
"Do you think I should tell Dumbledore about accelerating the Philosopher's Stone research?"
"You think Professor Dumbledore might object?"
Nicole Mailer couldn't be more satisfied with the reaction speed of Dunn's brain.
He nodded and said, "From what I know about Albus, he shouldn't object to my continuing research on the Philosopher's Stone, but if I'm really going to make a second Philosopher's Stone, he must be the first to object."5
Nicole Mailer did not say why.
It's exactly what Dunn thought.
It was Nicole Mailer's own worry rather than Dumbledore's objection.
Once the Philosopher's Stone can be produced in batches, the manufactured Magic Fortress can certainly defeat the Dark Lord, but after that, will the person who masters the Magic Fortress become the second Dark Lord?
"Mr. Mailer, the problem you mentioned is actually very easy to solve. If the use of the Philosopher's Stone is handed over to a person who is reliable enough to control, do you think Professor Dumbledore will still object?'55
"you mean?
"In this battle against the Dark Lord Greenwald, there should be no one more reliable than Professor Dumbledore."
Nicole Mailer gave Dunn a meaningful look.
"What about you? Don't you want to be the one who controls the making of the Philosopher's Stone?"
"Of course I do, but I will first convince everyone that the Philosopher's Stone will only be used for peaceful purposes in my hands.
"How to persuade?
"Find a few more reliable people and share the method of making the Philosopher's Stone with them, so that no matter who wants to use the Philosopher's Stone to achieve his ambition to dominate, he must first consider whether other people agree or not.
"Good idea 々.!"
Nicole Mailer couldn't help but exclaim.
He even thought that was the biggest takeaway from his conversation with Dunn today.
Sadly, just as Nicole Mailer was about to delve into the subject with Dunn, new guests arrived.
Coming out of Nicole Mailer's office, Dunn found that he knew all of the new guests.
Seeing Dunn, Dumbledore was no surprise.
"It seems that I didn't come at the right time, Nicole will definitely complain to me later, I should give you a little more time to meet.
Still the familiar self-deprecating tone.
Dunn, already used to this, shook his head and said, "Professor, it's just in time for you to come back, and Mr. Mailer and I talked about you just now."99
"Really? 35
A look of anticipation appeared on Dumbledore's face.
"Looks like I really want to have a good chat with Niko.
Dunn was about to leave when Dumbledore stopped him suddenly.
"One more thing, Dunn.
Glancing at the six of Hermione standing beside Dumbledore, Dunn had already guessed what Dumbledore wanted to say.
"Professor, I have class in the afternoon. 35
"No no, you misunderstood, the thing I'm about to tell you has something to do with these six children, but it's a total coincidence, remember the abandoned mansion on the outskirts of Hogsmeade?
"certainly."
"These six children came to Hogwarts through the secret passage of the mansion, and although I don't know what role Moody and Hagrid played in this, there is such an uncontrolled secret passage, which is very important to Hogwarts. Watts' safety is a big concern."
"Well, I'll inform Moody and Hagrid that the school is going to destroy the secret passage. 35
Dumbledore didn't expect Dunn to kill the sky with a single word.
After a moment of embarrassment, he explained: "In fact, I plan to keep the secret passage, but in order to prevent the Hogwarts students from using the secret passage to sneak into Hogsmeade Village, I will discuss with other professors. Immediately, a beating willow was transplanted from the forbidden forest.
It's definitely a sad story for Moody and Hagrid to say goodbye to the secret channel after only using it once.
But that didn't make any difference to Dunn.
He was more curious as to why Dumbledore had told him this.
Instead of explaining why, Dumbledore told Dunn something else.
"Aberforth has been discharged from the hospital in San Mundo, and he has decided to keep running the candy store.
Dunn then reacted.
Hogwarts has three known secret roads leading to Hogsmeade Village, one in the Panda Bar, one in the Old Bee Candy Shop in Aberforth, and one in the out-of-effects mansion just mentioned by Dumbledore.
Only the entrance to the last secret passage was not in the hands of "my own", which was why Dumbledore was worried.
"Have you found the owner of the mansion in the suburbs?"
"" "The other party has been confirmed to have died in an African expedition more than 30 years ago, and the other party's heir has no idea of returning to Hogsmeade, so he is going to sell the house. I think you may be interested in Interested in this news."5
Dunn did have the idea of buying a house in Hogsmeade before, and has even scouted a few good locations.
However, with the outbreak of the war, a large number of French wizards in exile in England flooded into the village of Hogsmeade, all the vacant houses were filled with people, and the landlords had no idea to continue selling these houses.
The mansion, on the outskirts of the village of Hogsmeade, was in a bad position.
Dunn would have minded this before, but now he has changed his mind.
He needed to establish a secure stronghold outside Hogwarts, not too small.
That mansion fits the bill.
“If the price is right, I would consider buying that big house. 35
This is Dunn's reply to Dumbledore.
(Noli Zhao) Of course Dumbledore had something to say about that.
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
"I need to build some magic circles to strengthen the defense of the mansion, but these materials are currently listed in the material control list by the Ministry of Magic, and it is difficult to buy them through normal channels, but I believe you must have a way, Professor. 95
Dumbledore knew what Dunn was thinking, and of course he couldn't agree.
"The castle magic circle really needs to be strengthened. I will use this name to apply to the Ministry of Magic to purchase a batch of materials, about 1 million gold Galleons, this money is funded by the Corleone family, and I hope to buy at least a quarter of the materials. It is a magic circle used to strengthen the castle.
"2 million gold Galleons, of which the share used to repair the magic circle of Hogwarts Castle remains unchanged." Dunn put forward his own request.
Dumbledore reached out to Dunn happily.
"make a deal!"
