The Elder Wand, Grindelwald...
Sean immediately reacted, this is... Grindelwald's memory before time travel? !
And Grindelwald's next words also confirmed his thoughts.
He seemed to have just experienced a terrible battle, and was breathing tiredly at the moment, and the other party's voice was a little helpless and unwilling.
"I really don't want to admit it... But it's even more shameful not to admit defeat."
Grindelwald stood up slowly, the Elder Wand in his hand shaking slightly for some reason.
Obviously it was only in memory, but Sean just felt that Grindelwald was looking at him.
Traveling through the timeline, through different worlds, through memory and reality, just look at yourself like this.
Grindelwald's clothes, temperament, and even eyes gave Sean a strange feeling.
He was taller and more rebellious than the Grindelwald that Sean knew.
However, Sean was stunned by Grindelwald's sudden smile.
That was the smile he often showed when he was teaching himself, with some playfulness, some appreciation, and also with a teacher-student feeling that was rarely seen in the Dark Lord.
Probably the kind of smile that only Sean can see.
And Grindelwald in front of him showed the same smile.
"Let me think..." Grindelwald lightly brushed the dust off his body, "When you get this memory, Albus will probably say, 'That thing is some little idea of Grindelwald, but For the present you, it is still indigestible. When you grow up a little more, come to me. 'Probably something like this?"
Sean widened his eyes and shook his head with laughter... It's exactly the same...
Grindelwald seemed to be talking to Sean face to face, and he seemed to be able to see Sean's expression.
"Tsk, I really guessed it—" He twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled, but then squinted to the sky as if remembering something, "Of course, it's just a guess..."
After all, this is a memory, and Sean can't have a direct conversation with the other party, so he can only watch it quietly.
Grindelwald looked at the cracked ceiling of the Hogwarts Great Hall and did not speak for a long time.
After a while, he lowered his head and continued to look at the place where Sean was standing, although in his memory, there should be nothing there.
"If this memory was opened when you were the weakest, you should not be able to solve the trouble it caused. However, at that time, you and Albus at that time should not know what happened. All this should be slow. Slowly unfold, you will gradually understand all this, according to what I have left... In my mind, before you open this memory, everything should be within my expectations, or-" Grindelwald waved He waved his wand, and smoke emerged from the tip of the wand, forming an image of two people.
That's Sean and Dumbledore.
However, the Sean in the picture is taller than Sean now, and his temperament seems to be more flamboyant. Professor Dumbledore looks a little strange... That's what he looked like when he was middle-aged.
"I know you two very well..." Grindelwald murmured in a low voice.
The beating flame in the auditorium seemed to have lost its temperature, and Sean frowned slightly.
He had never seen Grindelwald in such a lonely posture, and combined with the image of himself and Dumbledore just now, he had a bad idea.
In this original timeline, he and Professor Dumbledore are already dead...
However, Grindelwald recovered quickly, he frivolously threw the Elder Wand in his hand, and said in a relaxed tone, "Sean, I know you're looking at me here, only you, not Albus , it won't be me at that time... I also know, you must be thinking, what happened to make me make such a decision."
He suddenly smiled mischievously: "I'm curious, right? But I won't tell you."
Sean, who was a little heavy because of the miserable situation here and Grindelwald's lonely attitude, suddenly broke down, the corners of his eyes twitched, and he rubbed the center of his eyebrows melancholy.
The unfortunate appearance of this old man is really annoying...
Grindelwald laughed happily: "You must be scolding me in your heart, hahaha, I allow it, I can't hear it anyway."
Sean couldn't hold back and grinned.
Across the gap that can never be crossed, the master and the apprentice laughed in unison.
The laughter faded, and Grindelwald sighed leisurely: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's that if I tell everything in full, the moment you leave this memory, the world will look directly at it. ."
"The memory that shouldn't exist, the contradictory world in the picture, and you, as a wizard who has been involved in many things, as the person at the center of the vortex, once you know everything, the will of the world will be fully awakened, then you should It's too late to do anything."
Saying that, he spread out his hands, feeling rather helpless.
"This is all my reasoning, but if nothing else goes wrong... Of course, if you've found a better solution, then you don't have to worry too much. Ha, I'm so There was no sense of shame when I said it, it was obviously all caused by me."
"This is probably what I learned from you as a student. I like your shameless energy deep in your bones."
Sean shook his head when he heard it, is he so shameless in his bones?
Well, there is indeed a little bit... But Sean feels that this is what he learned from Grindelwald.
However, he also captured a message that Grindelwald also used the word student on himself.
This shows that on that timeline, he and Grindelwald still have a teacher-student relationship.
This may be the reason why he was sure that the person who came to see him in this memory must be Sean.
And Grindelwald said that he can understand that he can't tell himself the truth. Various situations have proved how terrible and sensitive the will of the world is. The only thing that puzzled him was that Dumbledore should have checked Grindelwald's nearly 100-year-old memory.
However, it only caused a time accident that was not serious at first. One day was shortened, and then another day was extended.
However, this may be because Dumbledore is too powerful, so there is a certain way to avoid the will of the world.
Grindelwald paused for a while and continued: "In my entire plan, there is only one uncertain point, and that is what the world looks like now, the world has not developed according to my ideas, let alone a new the world?"
"But the world will definitely get better," Grindelwald said with his hands behind his back, with incomparable confidence on his face, "This is one thing I'm sure of, because, two people are always better than one, right? "
Are two people better than one?
Sean's pupils shrank.
Could it be that on that timeline, Grindelwald really... killed Dumbledore?
Otherwise, why would he say that...
No, no, maybe it's a completely opposite world. In the duel of 1945, the victor became Grindelwald and the man in prison became Dumbledore?
Then it is foreseeable that Grindelwald will start a war with Muggles.
This war may have been lost, which may be the real reason for Grindelwald's crossing...
Opposite, Grindelwald continued to speak: "Sean, listen. This is the trouble you may face in my reasoning."
"First of all, the most important problem you face should be me. Oh my god, it's really embarrassing to think about my confused and shocked appearance."
"At that time, you should be in a state of confusion. You don't know enough about the truth of the matter, and you probably don't have anyone you can talk to? The will of the world is listening to the discordant voice all the time, and you must act. Be cautious...well, it's troublesome enough."
"The solution I gave is to ignore external resistance, only focus on the most central point, and solve the key point—that is, myself."
Sean frowned, only focusing on Grindelwald?
He is very concerned about the other party now, but, to solve this problem, we must take into account various situations. If the returnee notices this, he will definitely try to interfere with himself.
In the vortex of time, because old Grindelwald realized the fact that he had traveled through time, he had to use the invisibility cloak to deceive the world and avoid the will of the world.
Little Grindelwald was in an emotionally unstable state. Thinking about it, he was imprisoned by his future self for so long without knowing anything. When he woke up, he found that the world hadn’t turned into what he dreamed of—it’s strange if he wasn’t angry. Woolen cloth.
The solution I came up with was to gain the trust of the other party first, so that it was possible to get the cooperation of the other party.
He did not understand what Grindelwald meant.
But the other party quickly answered.
"Before I settle this matter, let me tell you some truths about time - if I travel through time, will the world have to erase me? No, the real reason for the awakening of the world's will is that the changes are too drastic. Time never Change, He just flows smoothly and without change. The impact must be the stone that stands out in the long river of time. It cuts off the flow of water and splashes water. Time does not allow such behavior, and the will of the world will erase that stone. , while having a huge impact.”
"But let's be careful," Grindelwald shook out a finger. "What happens when this protruding rock sinks to the bottom and becomes a pebble that should be in this river?"
"Time has become stable again, and he doesn't care where he flows. The long river of time never fixes the direction it flows-"
Sean's heart moved slightly, he seemed to understand what the other party meant.
"Yes, Sean. When the two Grindelwalds become one again, you no longer have to worry about how the world will change. Those memories, those things that have changed, are things that belong to this world."
"So, don't worry about other things, even if the world is about to fall, as long as there is only one Grindelwald in the world, everything will be solved easily, and the collapsed sky will be automatically retracted."
"The only thing I want you to pay attention to is-" Grindelwald's expression became serious, "Consistency."
Consistency? Sean blinked suspiciously.
"You don't need to care about other changes. The only thing you need to care about is me."
"If you want the world to accept this time that has been changed, and if you want to make it all fate, then both I have to be consistent."
Both Grindelwalds must be consistent... Sean frowned and thought.
How could little Grindelwald and old Grindelwald be the same? Although they are indeed the same person, their different experiences in the past 100 years have made them completely different.
The memories of the two are completely different...
Wait... Sean's eyes lit up.
memory!
Yes, Grindelwald will definitely understand Grindelwald, as long as they have the same experience, as long as they have the same memory!
He even thought of a way to make little Grindelwald change his mind.
Suppose, let both people restore the same memory?
No, no, this memory is too deep. If he really wants to do this, he needs to copy the nearly 100-year-old memory that Dumbledore has preserved, and the nearly 100-year memory that Old Grindelwald spent in this world, and even, in order to maintain consistency , but also to replicate the deep memories of little Grindelwald spent in the dark when he was imprisoned.
Copy these memories into two copies and give them to each of them.
Whether it is to copy the memory or let the two absorb the memory, it is too difficult, and the will of the world will definitely wake up in the process!
If there is no threat of the will of the world, there may be a little room for manipulation, but at present, it is not realistic at all.
But why, can't you think about it in reverse?
Copying memories is not easy, UU reading is not easy to absorb memories... It is much easier to extract memories...
Yes!
If Sean can convince the two of them to draw out their memories after 1899!
Wouldn't that be an agreement in memory? !
When the two became one person again, everything became a foregone conclusion, and the world was doomed, even if the river went in completely different directions over time.
At that time, when the extracted memory is handed over to Grindelwald, it will no longer be an "abrupt sight", but a foregone conclusion, and the will of the world will never wake up again!
The only difficulty is that the old Grindelwald can be persuaded, but he doesn't know how to find it. The young Grindelwald knows where he is, but it seems that it is not easy to convince...
At this moment, Grindelwald laughed: "Sean, didn't you notice that I haven't spoken for so long?"
"Because I know, my disciple, my only student! He must be able to think of the key to this problem!"
"Yes, pull out the memory! Achieve memory consistency!"
"And I will solve your difficulties—"
Grindelwald smiled happily: "Do you think I'm really unprepared? Ha, the place and the things that convince me, it's all together, oh-oh-oh-I know myself too well that I will where to stay~"
"Ha, I'm really a genius—"
"I'll go, this old man, he's really mature..." Even though he was only facing memories, Sean couldn't help but sigh.
Like the first lesson he taught himself.
See through the heart! Read the heart!
