Chapter 555 Dumbledore's Commission

Hearing Mike's question, Zhou Hong's body, which was originally shaking violently, suddenly paused. He looked at Mike in surprise and said,

"Things? We are not things."

After that, before Mike continued to ask questions, Zhou Hong's face changed drastically. He suddenly broke free from Mike's arms and knelt on the ground and began to kowtow. At the same time, he was still muttering incoherently:

"Please forgive me! Please forgive me! I didn't mean it!"

and other words.

"Bangbangbang!"

A dull sound came, and after a while, Zhou Hong's forehead had already bleed.

Seeing this, Penelope hurried forward to stop him, but Mike fell into deep thought.

Mike has always believed that there is a god in this world. After all, if a god really exists, then how bad can a person be to sit back and watch so many tragedies happen?

So whenever someone tells Mike that there is a god in this world, he will firmly give that person a middle finger!

But Zhou Hong is different.

Zhou Hong himself is an inexplicable existence.

All the ancient books, even the original works, have never recorded any information about Zhou Hong. He just appeared out of thin air.

Such an existence now told Mike that there is something called ancient gods in this world, and this ancient god is very scary.

This made Mike think of some novels he had read in his previous life - "Cthulhu Mythos Series".

The monsters in it are very consistent with Zhou Hong's description. Moreover, if you think about it carefully, Zhou Hong's appearance after transformation is also somewhat similar to those monsters. There may be some relationship between them.

It may be because of this that Zhou Hong suddenly remembered this matter.

At this time, Zhou Hong finally calmed down a little under Penelope's comfort. He curled up and continued to tremble and said:

"I... I only remembered it after seeing the stone. Ancient Gods, that's just the name I gave them! They are not the so-called gods in your cognition, but the ancient beings that have appeared since the birth of this world and observe and control this world! They are omnipotent and invincible!

I can't remember where I have contacted them, but I just know their existence. Do you know what this means? This means that the reason why I know all this is just what they want to know and tell you!

So, Mike! You must not collect the three holy artifacts. This is their warning, otherwise something extremely terrible will happen!"

Halfway through, Zhou Hong suddenly grabbed Mike's sleeve and looked at Mike with a resolute look.

It was as if Mike would die on the spot if he said no later.

Seeing this, Mike sighed lightly and nodded to Zhou Hong.

At this moment, he had thought it through very clearly.

Regardless of the authenticity of what Zhou Hong said, Zhou Hong was obviously very disgusted with his act of collecting the Deathly Hallows.

In this case, then it would be better to give up collecting the Deathly Hallows.

After all, Mike also knew the truth that listening to others' advice

would only get you a full meal. If what Zhou Hong said was false, it would be fine, but if it was true, it would be a big trouble. You know, according to Zhou Hong's description, there were more than one or two so-called ancient gods, and none of them were easy to get along with.

If it was really as Mike guessed, that group of ancient gods all belonged to the Cthulhu pantheon, that would be fun.

On the other side, seeing Mike nod, Zhou Hong's dim and crazy eyes finally flashed with the light of reason.

He looked at Mike expectantly and continued to murmur:

"Do you promise?"

"I promise!" Mike looked Zhou Hong in the eyes and said, "I will never collect the three Deathly Hallows, and I will not let Victor try to collect the Deathly Hallows."

"That's good, that's good..."

Zhou Hong smiled and lost consciousness while muttering.

Mike and Penelope looked at each other, their faces full of helplessness.

It seems that today's work cannot be carried out smoothly!

At this time, in the Hogwarts Hall, the students were enjoying a long-lost breakfast.

Harry and the other two also sat on the bench, but they did not look very good at this time. Their eyes were red and swollen, and their consciousness was trance, as if they had cried all night.

But this is not surprising. Whether it is Hermione or Harry, they have deep feelings for Dumbledore. Now facing Dumbledore's death, they will naturally not be able to accept it for a while.

What's more, the person who killed Dumbledore was Mike!

Just as they were eating the breakfast in front of them, several newspapers were suddenly thrown down by an owl and fell in front of Harry.

It was clearly written on it:

"McTownley is extremely evil and has been designated as an S-level wanted criminal by the International Confederation of Wizards!"

"Polls show that McTownley has turned from a hero into a criminal in the hearts of the people, and his evilness is almost the same as that of the man who cannot even be named!" "

Minister Flint said that they will do their best to capture the murderer who killed Dumbledore, McTownley, and bring peace to the country!"

...

"What a hell!"

Harry cursed and crumpled the newspaper in front of him and threw it out of the window.

He was in a very complicated mood now.

On the one hand, he hated Mike very much. You know, Dumbledore has always been caring for Harry and acted as an elder who guided Harry.

On the other hand, as one of Mike's best friends, Harry understood Mike's actions very well.

Because from his understanding of Mike, unless he was really angry to the extreme, Mike would never attack Dumbledore.

Harry still remembers the scene that day when Mike carried Dumbledore's body into the hall under the gaze of everyone.

Mike's eyes were also filled with sadness at that time,

which shows that Mike also had his own difficulties!

These two emotions intertwined, almost driving Harry crazy.

Moreover, if it was just this, Harry would not be so irritated.

After all, he still had two friends, Ron and Hermione.

Harry firmly believed that as long as they were by his side, he would be able to get out sooner or later.

What really made Harry despair was the change in attitude of other students around him.

When they first found out that Dumbledore was killed by Mac, it was still okay. Everyone's mood was very complicated, but they still maintained respect for Dumbledore. Whether it was helping to arrange the funeral or the silence after the event, they were extremely solemn.

But after only one night, many people's attitudes changed!

Gryffindor was okay. Most of them were still immersed in sadness like Harry and his friends, unable to extricate themselves.

People from other colleges were different.

Let's not talk about how jubilant the Slytherins were, but the attitudes of the Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs made Harry angry.

Especially Ravenclaw, Hufflepuffs still have a certain ability to read the air. Although they kept making small moves in private, at least they maintained a certain degree of restraint on the surface.

Ravenclaw was undisguisedly delighted.

Just like now, they were talking and laughing at the table about their future development, and about how they would achieve great things with their senior McTomley in the future.

As for Dumbledore, that was already a thing of the past. He deserved to be killed by senior McTomley, because he was a traitor who backstabbed senior McTomley.

Listening to the occasional laughter in their conversation, Harry's teeth were about to break.

They could not understand why Ravenclaws could be so cold-blooded.

What Harry did not know was that Ravenclaw had never been just a gathering place for nerds.

If you think about it carefully, you will know that this is the wizarding world, where knowledge often represents power!

As the most knowledgeable Ravenclaws in the four major colleges, how could they be willing to be ordinary when they have mastered such a powerful power!

You must know that when Voldemort was rampant, his Death Eaters were not only wizards from Slytherin, but also wizards from Ravenclaw.

Therefore, it is not true that Slytherin is the college that produces the most dark wizards in Hogwarts, because there are no fewer dark wizards in Ravenclaw than in Slytherin.

But the main reason why Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff are so cold-blooded now is that the relationship between Dumbledore and them is not that good.

You should know that there is actually a gap in Dumbledore's attitude towards the four major colleges, especially after Harry Potter entered school, his favoritism towards Gryffindor is almost undisguised.

In this case, Gryffindor students will naturally think of Dumbledore's goodness, but students from other colleges will not think so.

After McTownley took away a large part of Dumbledore's glory, Dumbledore was just a somewhat remarkable principal in their minds. If they really talk about their heroes, it has to be Senior McTownley.

After all, Dumbledore's Hogwarts is about killing and not burying, and you have nothing to do with him after graduation.

But the Los Santos Group of senior Mike Townley has been giving preferential treatment to these alumni, which has brought them practical benefits.

One is the immediate benefits that are about to be obtained, and the other is the people who have passed away and have helped them in some way.

Even a fool knows how to choose!

In fact, not only in Hogwarts, but many people in society also think so.

Although Dumbledore was once the principal of some of them and made some outstanding contributions, it is actually difficult to feel Dumbledore's help to them.

Especially now that the person who killed Voldemort is not Dumbledore, but Mike Townley!

So even though they all shouted that Mike Townley is a murderer and a bastard.

But in fact, the fluctuations in their hearts are far less intense than they appear.

Even in the hearts of those groups that originally supported Mike, such as witch groups, goblins, mermaids, centaurs and ordinary Muggle wizards, Mike's killing of Dumbledore not only did not make them sad, but instead gave them the courage and hope to follow Mike again.

After all, no matter what, Dumbledore is the most powerful wizard of this century, but such an invincible existence was killed by McTomley!

Doesn't that mean that McTomley's strength is invincible in the world! ?

Even Mike himself probably didn't expect this.

After all, when he was imprisoned in the Ministry of Magic, the tribes that originally gathered around him had all dispersed.

And it would definitely not be an easy task to gather people's hearts again.

"Harry, Professor McGonagall wants to see you. She is waiting for you in the principal's office."

The voice of the fat monk woke Harry who was in deep thought. He looked at the fat monk with some surprise, and then said goodbye to his companions and left the hall.

As the vice-president, Professor McGonagall has completely taken over the power vacancy left by Dumbledore's death.

But her office is still in the original Transfiguration Professor's office, and the huge principal's office is still empty.

This also expresses Professor McGonagall's determination. She has no intention of becoming the next principal of Hogwarts.

This made Harry a little confused, because he couldn't imagine what Professor McGonagall had asked him to go to the headmaster's office for.

But at this point, he could only bite the bullet and move forward.

Finally, Mike saw Professor McGonagall in front of the headmaster's office.

She looked no different from usual, still with a serious face and meticulous look.

But the sharp-eyed Harry still noticed that Professor McGonagall's eyes were full of bloodshot, and it seemed that she hadn't slept for a long time.

"Harry Potter," Professor McGonagall gently touched Harry's hair and said, "Let's go, he wants to see you."

"Him? Who is he?"

Harry asked anxiously, but Professor McGonagall did not answer, but pulled him into the office that had already been opened.

It was not until this moment that Harry finally understood who Professor McGonagall was talking about.

"Headmaster Dumbledore!"

McGonagall shouted in surprise as he looked at the magic portrait in front of him.

This was such a pleasant surprise. Harry never thought that he could meet Dumbledore in this way.

"Good morning, Harry. It's a nice day today, isn't it?"

said Dumbledore in the portrait.

He had a warm smile on his face and wore the familiar grey robe, just like he had before.

But what was strange was that he was in a wooden hut at the moment, and he was holding wool and wooden needles in his hands. He didn't stop knitting while talking to Harry.

"That's true, but, um... I'm sorry, Headmaster Dumbledore, are you knitting socks?"

"Yes, to be precise, they should be wool socks." Dumbledore said with a smile, "I wanted to do this a long time ago, but unfortunately I have been very busy. Oh! By the way! Have I told you? My mother is the best weaver in the whole country of Ying. She taught me the skill of knitting wool socks!"

"Um... it seems not." Harry said somewhat embarrassedly, "By the way, Professor Dumbledore, is there something important that made you call me here?"

"Of course! Of course! I have a very important thing to ask you to do."

Dumbledore said seriously, but after he finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at Professor McGonagall. The meaning in his eyes was self-evident.
