Chapter 295 The Truth Comes to Light (Part 2)
Jian Yu was so anxious that he scratched his head and couldn't help but ask the puzzled question again.
"No matter what, I have to thank you, Jade." Dumbledore answered irrelevantly, "Thank you for taking care of the feelings of an old but emotional man. I am very glad that you can support many of my actions... In fact, many shortcomings in my life have been made up by you."
The old and the young looked into each other's eyes, one was filled with emotion, the other was filled with confusion.
Although Jian Yu couldn't understand why Dumbledore was playing dumb again...
But after so many years, she actually developed a strange sense of habit of "here it comes again".
In fact, long before the scene turned into an inhumane 1v2, resulting in the destruction of Azkaban and the escape of Voldemort and Grindelwald, Dumbledore, who had handled the follow-up matters, pieced together the whole story from the Flamel couple.
"To be precise, we were not kidnapped by Grindelwald." The old Nico corrected the misunderstanding in the eyes of most people, "We followed him voluntarily... Of course, this does not mean that we are in the same camp. We just agree on the progress of some inventions and creations in the wizarding society. Some of Jade's ideas and propositions deeply touched us."
"So the distress message you sent out asking me to go to Azkaban... was false?" Dumbledore said hesitantly.
"What Azkaban for help?" Perenelle asked in confusion. "We were having a good time. Grindelwald was very knowledgeable about runes, which greatly advanced our experiment. We were all immersed in the game... the ocean of progress - until Yu rushed in and asked us to go to Azkaban to rescue you."
The couple tilted their heads, looking in amazement at the sudden realization emanating from every wrinkle in Dumbledore's face.
"So that's how it is..." He murmured, "Maybe he really wants to make up for something..."
Dumbledore raised his head, pressed his eye sockets slightly, and then asked:
"But I'm still curious, why did Grindelwald... have such a big change? I heard that he kidnapped some Muggles... It is said that they were well-educated ones among them... What did he want to steal from them?"
"Ahem." Nico's old face flushed slightly, and veins popped out on his forehead. He argued, "Doing research can't be considered stealing... Can doing research be considered stealing?... What about kidnapping Muggles... It's clearly a matter of friendly communication and exchange to promote cultural integration... Can it be considered kidnapping?"
He uttered a series of difficult to understand words, such as "mobile communications" and "base station", which made Dumbledore make a confused sound.
"So you did kidnap some Muggles together, did you?"
As the couple argued, Dumbledore ignored the difficult words and confirmed the accuracy of the information.
"I told you it wasn't a hijacking!" Nico waved his hands in anger, his little finger almost falling to the ground again, "No one was hurt! We made very careful arrangements. After gaining that knowledge, they will also forget their memories of wizards..."
Dumbledore looked at him in disbelief.
He found it hard to believe that the couple, who were considered role models of morality, had become corrupted by Grindelwald and turned into someone he didn't recognize.
"Because we see the future in jade, Albus. I believe that with Grindelwald's keenness, he must have seen this as well." Perenelle explained, "It is an era full of information and knowledge, and it is a vibrant era. Wizarding society needs to progress... Based on the ancient magical heritage, we need to integrate Muggle technology for innovation... We are working hard for the welfare of wizards."
Nico sighed, his eyes fixed in the distance:
"We are all old, Albus, and the future belongs to the children. Although we have crystal balls, prophecies, and divination... I often feel that Yu can see much farther than we can... I believe you feel the same way, right?"
Dumbledore was silent. He had realized that this action was based on the part of the future that Jian Yu could see.
In order to achieve the future she saw, she deliberately fabricated the information about the Flamel couple being tortured by Grindelwald, deliberately led him to Azkaban to fight Voldemort, and then went to Grindelwald and the Flamel couple for help...
One is to prevent Voldemort's camp from continuing to grow, and the other is to... give him and him a chance to meet so that they can stop running away.
He understood her good intentions and was deeply moved by the emotional comfort she provided him.
Dumbledore felt a warm current rushing up his chest, filling up his heart...
This was a feeling he had almost ceased to have since the deaths of his parents and sister.
"I do realize that she can see part of the future... Although she doesn't say it, her actions prove it." He said slowly, "My only worry is that the prophecy will cause trouble. Being too entangled in the illusory future will trap people in it."
Thinking of Trelawney's prophecy, Dumbledore pressed his temple in some distress.
"But no matter what, she has already hinted to me that I should stop running away." His eyes slowly solidified into a kind of determination. "Since he can repent of his horrible behavior and wants to make amends, it would be too cowardly if I stood still."
He looked far away at the sun hanging high in the sky, as if he had made up his mind:
"I will meet with him."
