After a full minute or two, he stroked his chin and said in a slightly amusing tone: "Interesting! Draco Malfoy married Pansy Parkinson instead of Astoria.

Ron married a French witch.

As for Harry, he actually got his first love Zhang Qiu as he wished.

Ginny and Neville Longbottom ended up together.

Albus Dumbledore would die several years later from unknown causes.

Snape will succeed the former as the new headmaster of Hogwarts.

And he and Lily actually had five children!

It seems that my appearance has completely changed the direction of this world.

If I become the godfather of Malfoy's son in the future, then there is only one possibility, that he will swear allegiance to me like Gemma Farley and become a pawn in the secret control of the wizarding world.

But if you think about it carefully, it’s not too surprising.

After all, Draco's father Lucius had already expressed this inclination, so it made perfect sense for the son to follow in his father's footsteps.

The only question is, why did this guy take such a huge risk to steal the scroll that sealed the evil spirit? Who told him the news, and who left a mark on his soul? Could it be that in 20 or 30 years, this world will be invaded by someone from another time and space?

Or did one or several planeswalkers discover this place, which eventually led to fighting and even war between planeswalkers?"

There is no doubt that the so-called "chatting" between Zuo Si and Malfoy was actually the latter revealing important information about his current time point to the former in an implicit way without violating certain restrictions.

Obviously, it was not Draco's intention to steal the scroll that sealed the evil god. He was coerced or forced to do this.

Unfortunately, due to strict restrictions, the most important and core information cannot be disclosed at all.

The only thing we know right now is a very vague time, which is 2025.

During the conversation, Draco repeatedly mentioned this year through several very ordinary and trivial things.

If it were someone else, they might not notice this, but Zuo Si, who was surrounded by conspiracies and intrigues all day long, realized what the other party wanted to express almost instantly.

Similarly, Malfoy was well aware of this, so he used such an obscure way of conveying information.

In other words, he was very familiar with Zuo Si's habits and thinking patterns, which proved from a certain aspect that the two would have a very close relationship in the future.

"Are you sure that Draco Malfoy is not lying, or is he being hypnotized or controlled, using this information to make you make wrong judgments?" The diary suddenly reminded.

Zuo Si shook his head slightly: "Although this situation cannot be completely ruled out, I think it is unlikely."

"Oh? On what basis? Don't tell me it's just some bullshit intuition. Don't forget, you didn't use the fourth-ring magic [Identify Lies] just now." The diary questioned in a serious tone.

"Fourth-ring magic [Identify Lies]? Do you think this thing is useful for those who are really good at lying? Don't make me laugh. I can easily bypass the detection of this magic and use strictly screened partial truth to weave a lie that is completely opposite to the actual situation. What's more... do you think Malfoy has the ability to lie in front of me without being discovered?" Zuo Si asked with a sneer.

"So do you plan to take a look at the future?" the diary asked in an uncertain tone.

You should know that the complete version of the time reversal spell is not like a time converter, which can only go back to the past, but can also go to the future.

It is precisely because of this that it becomes the most dangerous magic, bar none.

"No. Going back to the past and going to the future are two completely different situations. The former is something that has already happened, so I know almost all the information and can make full preparations like I did just now. But what will happen in the future, the information Malfoy gave is far from enough. In addition, how do I know that this is not a trap deliberately luring me into falling into it?"

There was a wise and profound light in Zuo Si's eyes.

He is not one of those fools who rushes to investigate as soon as he gets some information. He is always wary of things he does not understand or cannot be sure of.

Even when the scroll that sealed the evil god was lost, he did not choose to track it down immediately after learning the time reversal spell. Instead, he patiently waited until he understood the things to pay attention to when time traveling in this world before choosing to take action, not to mention traveling to the future.

Just when the diary was about to say something, it suddenly discovered that the phoenix had flown down from Zuo Si's shoulder and tapped the cover with its sharp beak, instantly igniting a ray of golden fire. It was so scared that it immediately shouted, "Hey! Stupid bird! What are you doing? Stop!"

"Father, why can this book speak?" Phoenix asked with strong curiosity in his tone.

"It is equivalent to the carrier of my past memories and thoughts. It is awakened through a very special magic. Strictly speaking, it is not a life, but a magical creation with independent thinking ability." Zuo Si explained patiently.

"No wonder it has no soul..."

Phoenix quickly lost interest in the diary after realizing it wasn't alive.

As for the diary, it kept cursing and was full of hostility towards the new god who almost burned it.

But after a few minutes, it chose to shut its mouth.

The reason is simple! Zuo Si has already used teleportation magic to return to Hogwarts.

In such a crowded and crowded situation, a diary will not easily show its ability to use wisdom and independent thinking.

In contrast, the Phoenix looked around the best magic school in the British Isles with curiosity, watching the energetic little wizards flying in the sky on their brooms.

As usual, Zuo Si went to the headmaster's office first, intending to explain to Dumbledore why he failed to return on time after the Christmas holidays.

However, when he said the command and walked in, he happened to see two gray-haired old men arguing fiercely with red ears.

One of them was the headmaster, and the other was his younger brother Aberforth.

As for the content, you don't need to ask to know, it is naturally about their common sister Ariana.

To be precise, Albus, as a brother, discovered that the name of his sister, who had been dead for nearly a hundred years, appeared on the list of people who had been resurrected and given legal identities in the Daily Prophet.

According to the regulations of the Ministry of Magic, the names of all those who have been resurrected using magic mercury will be announced to the public at regular intervals and reported to the entire British wizarding community.

The principal has always been very concerned about this matter.

So when he saw Ariana's name, he immediately followed Aberforth and found his sister, who had just learned to speak and had the intelligence of a five or six-year-old child.

As expected, the two got into a heated argument over their views and past grudges.

But they didn't want Ariana and outsiders to see this scene, so they went to the principal's office of Hogwarts together.

I have to say, it is quite interesting to see two old men over a hundred years old with white beards and hair rolling up their sleeves and wanting to punch each other.

And because the Dumbledore brothers were arguing so fiercely, they didn't even notice someone coming in and were still blaming each other.

"Asshole! Do you know what you are doing?" The principal grabbed his brother's collar and scolded.

At this moment, there was no trace of his usual kindness and gentleness on his face. Instead, he looked more like an older brother who was teaching his younger brother a lesson for doing something wrong.

But Aberforth obviously didn't buy it. He tore away the hand that was grabbing his collar, sneered and said sarcastically, "Of course I know what I'm doing! As a brother, I'm willing to pay any price, even my life and soul, as long as Ariana can be resurrected. And you, the murderer who killed her in the first place, what qualifications do you have to point fingers at me?"

"you……"

The principal suddenly felt as if he had been hit by an arrow in the knee. His whole body became extremely stiff, his eyes revealed guilt and sadness, and his whole body was shaking slightly uncontrollably.

There is no doubt that this sentence was like a sharp sword, instantly piercing his heart and breaking down all his psychological defenses.

If there was one thing that pained the greatest wizard of our time, it was the fact that he accidentally killed his sister when he was young because of his relationship with Grindelwald.

Aberforth was unyielding and continued in an extremely cold tone: "Remember! Albus! This matter has nothing to do with you, and don't bother me and Ariana in the future. She is only my sister, and you are just an irrelevant stranger."

The principal opened his mouth to say something, but in the end, nothing came out and he sat back in his chair in frustration.

But the moment he sat down, he suddenly noticed the uninvited guest standing at the door.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation." Zuo Si explained awkwardly.

Heaven and earth’s conscience!

If he knew that the Dumbledore brothers were arguing in the headmaster's office about Ariana's resurrection, he would definitely stay away from them.

"It's okay, we've just finished talking."

Aberforth was stunned for a moment, then he put on an indifferent attitude, shrugged his shoulders, and walked out of the office without looking back.

After he was completely gone, the headmaster slowly asked, "Did Aberforth approach you about Ariana's resurrection?"

"Well, yes. He came to me together with Snape." Zuo Si admitted frankly.

"Ah - you really gave me a big problem." Dumbledore held his forehead and sighed. "Why did Ariana's intelligence level regress to that of a child? And she seems to have forgotten me at all."

Zuo Si answered directly: "This is related to the world after death. Judging from the status of individuals who have been resurrected through magic mercury, the longer the death time, the more memories are erased."

"The world after death?"

Dumbledore shook off his previous decadence, leaned forward slightly, and a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes.

Zuo Si nodded slightly: "That's right! Judging from the information we have obtained so far, after a person dies, his soul should pass through a curtain and go to a world that is completely different from the living.

In this world, I am afraid there is no great adventure as you imagined, but all souls are slowly forgetting everything in their lives as time goes by.

I also discovered that anyone who had been dead for more than a hundred years could not be resurrected normally even with the use of magic mercury.

Instead, you will become a walking corpse driven entirely by instinct.

From this we can judge that a person’s soul can only be preserved relatively intact for a hundred years after death.

Of course, since the current research on the afterlife is still at a stage of blind men groping in the dark, it is difficult to say what the situation is. "

“Have you started studying death?”

Dumbledore raised his eyebrows in disbelief.

They were time, prophecy, and death, about which even he knew little.

Death in particular was something wizards knew almost nothing about.

The only samples available for research are the ghosts who remain in the real world after death because of some obsession.

"It can't be called research. I just collected and organized the information of those who were resurrected after the death, that's all." Zuo Si lied calmly.

After all, the world after death is really too cruel. He is not sure whether the order of the wizarding world will collapse after telling the truth, and the world will be filled with dark wizards who create Horcruxes in order to achieve immortality.

As a planeswalker who has seen too much of the dark side of human nature, one of Zuo Si's greatest strengths is that he never overestimates the moral level of human beings.

And we know that the reason why most ordinary people abide by laws and order is not because they are kind, but because they are afraid of the huge consequences of violating them.

For example, imprisonment, fines, and the death penalty.

This is also why after the collapse of order in many countries and regions, various vicious criminal activities such as robbery and murder tend to grow exponentially.

Because criminals know clearly that the government no longer has the ability to arrest them through violence, and they don’t have to pay the price for these actions.

By the same token, when wizards learn that the world after death is so hopeless, they will definitely try every possible way to resist the arrival of death.

If things go wrong, due to different opinions and viewpoints, they may eventually split into two factions, leading to conflicts and even wars.

Dumbledore didn't know what was going on in Zuo Si's mind. He was obviously relieved to learn that he didn't specifically study death. He continued to ask, "Where did you go after the Christmas vacation? Why didn't you take the Hogwarts Express back to school?"

"I was conducting a series of complicated magic experiments, so I was delayed for a while." Zuo Si spread his hands and responded.

"What kind of magical experiment?" Dumbledore asked tentatively, narrowing his eyes.

Ever since the second Philosopher's Stone that could bring the dead back to life appeared, he dared not take the research topic of the young man in front of him lightly, for fear that he might come up with some revolutionary invention.

"It's a bit troublesome to explain, so you better read it yourself."

As he spoke, Zuo Si pointed to his left shoulder.

moment!

Dumbledore noticed the phoenix standing above, his pupils suddenly dilated, and he stood up from his chair with horror on his face.

"You...you...you used that blood to create a living phoenix? How is that possible!"

"Nothing is impossible. If you can't do it now, it's simply because you haven't accumulated enough knowledge and skills. As long as you are willing to invest enough time and energy, you will be able to do it one day. What's more, turning the impossible into the possible, isn't this the greatest charm of magic?"

While saying this, Zuo Si had an unfathomable smile on his face.

Dumbledore is indeed the greatest wizard of our time. After a brief shock, he quickly regained his composure and said with a slight sigh: "You have created life... and it is an immortal phoenix. You have accomplished another miracle that is almost impossible. But why does your phoenix have no feathers and entity, but instead looks like a burning flame?"

"Uh - I'm not too sure about this. I can only say that there are too many surprises, coincidences and uncertainties in the whole process." Zuo Si explained half-truthfully.

"Okay. Anyway, as a member of the Dumbledore family, I want to congratulate you on winning the trust of the Phoenix. If you don't mind, can you tell me how much more magic power in your body has increased now?" Dumbledore asked cautiously.

"About twice as much." Zuo Si made up a lie.

In fact, in this world, the Phoenix can increase the magic power of his wizarding profession by at least five times through the characteristics of Dumbledore's family bloodline.

And if necessary, it can be replenished through the connection with the soul well.

To some extent, Zuo Si has successfully gained the home advantage in this world.

Although not as exaggerated as the Elf Planeswalker Nissa, who can communicate with the planetary will of Zendikar and use the latter's power to directly crush the enemy.

But as I learn more and more magical knowledge, I will be able to do it one day.

As for how much of the Phoenix's strength can be retained when it goes to other time and space, that depends on the specific local conditions.

At least in Faerun, a new god like it that has neither a priesthood nor believers is at best a demigod. In terms of the level of divinity, it is probably not even as good as Angel Poison Core who was killed before.

The latter at least has a priesthood of [Spores].

"One times as much?!" Dumbledore was obviously surprised, but he quickly praised: "It seems that you can almost replace me as the most powerful wizard of the contemporary era."

"Professor, you know I'm not interested in such boring fame and titles."

Zuo Si expressed his attitude clearly.

He didn't want to be held high by the wizards in the magical world and become the role played by the old man in front of him, nor did he want to take responsibility or be morally kidnapped.

"Ah! Of course I know that. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this. By the way, does your phoenix have any special abilities? Why didn't I notice him at the first time?" Dumbledore asked interestedly.

Zuo Si smiled and responded: "He can make most people ignore his existence. This is a great ability that can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble."

"I see. If Fawkes also has this ability, I won't have to worry about him being discovered when passing through areas densely populated with Muggles." Dumbledore's tone revealed a hint of envy.

When Fox heard this, he immediately let out a loud cry, as if expressing his dissatisfaction and protest to his owner.

Similarly, this phoenix was also very curious about its own kind so close to it.

However, the aura emitted by the Phoenix God made it feel fearful and it was afraid to approach.

In the next few minutes, the principal tried to instill some of the values ​​he believed to be correct into Zuo Si, but as expected, he failed.

After finishing the conversation, Zuo Si quickly left the principal's office and strolled along the corridor inside the castle, thinking about his next plan.

As the saying goes, if you don't plan for the future, you will have immediate worries.

A person who does not know how to set long-term goals and plan will never achieve anything no matter what he does.

What's more, he is no longer alone, but has many subordinates and huge power.

If we just do whatever we want, it would be irresponsible of us all.

First of all, we must launch the "Fourth Disaster Plan" to collect the souls of dozens of high-level talents in this world and bring them back.

Secondly, he must find two people who have the potential to ignite the spark and become planeswalkers as soon as possible, win Nicol Bolas's initial trust, and make sure he figures out what the spell the old dragon has mastered is and why he can absorb the sparks of other planeswalkers to make his own sparks more powerful before the "War of the Spark" officially begins.

Finally, he took the time to finish reading the Netheril scroll in hand and raised his arcane spellcasting level to the legendary level.

Just when Zuo Sixiang was about to complain that there was never enough time, he suddenly saw the "savior" Harry Potter limping slowly towards him from a distance.

"Hey! Harry, long time no see." Zuo Si took the initiative to greet him.

"Soth? When did you come back?!"

Harry was obviously startled, and he quickly quickened his pace and came closer, enduring the pain.

At this moment, Zuo Sicai finally saw clearly that the boy's left knee had obviously hit something. Not only were there holes in his pants, but there were also large areas of abrasions on his skin, and it seemed that a lot of blood had been lost.

Out of curiosity, he couldn't help but ask, "How did you do this?"

"Don't mention it! I don't know if I've been unlucky recently, but I always see a big black dog near Hogwarts. After this guy found me, he immediately started barking and chasing me. This is the result of accidentally tripping over a stone while running away." Harry explained with a gloomy face.

"Big black dog?!"

The name Sirius Black instantly appeared in Zuo Si's mind.

After all, when Voldemort and his Death Eaters captured Azkaban, many criminals took the opportunity to escape, and until now the Ministry of Magic has not been able to produce an exact list.

Although the Aurors have been working overtime to track and search, the results have been minimal.

These days, all dark wizards have some ability to hide their tracks.

"Why, have you been chased by that dog, too?"

Harry thought he had found a "victim" like himself, and his tone suddenly became a little excited.

Zuo Si immediately shook his head: "No. If that dog dares to chase me, I will make it regret coming into this world. I suggest that next time you are chased by this guy, there is no need to run away. Just take out your gun or magic wand and hit it hard."

“This is not good…”

The corner of Harry's mouth twitched slightly uncontrollably.

"Believe me! You must not back down when facing this kind of vicious dog that likes to chase and bite people, otherwise it will only become more aggressive. But if you hit it hard, it will immediately run away with its tail between its legs." Zuo Si raised his arm and placed it on the savior's shoulder, deliberately pretending to be serious and warned him.

As the saying goes, those who watch the excitement are not afraid of bigger troubles.

He was very curious about how Black would react if he knew that his best friend's wife Lily had been resurrected and was about to marry Snape, whom he hated so much.

You know, the wedding day is very close now.

If Black broke in and made a big fuss, Snape would probably be so angry that he would kill someone because of the new and old grudges combined.

In addition, the former has not yet discovered Peter Pettigrew's faked death, and has no way of proving his innocence to Harry.

When the time comes, with the stepfather versus the godfather, plus the silly child Harry and her mother who has lost her memory, the scene will definitely be very exciting.

Just thinking about it makes me excited...
