Chapter 258
"...Maybe he sensed that some of his Horcruxes were destroyed?"

Lu Yunkai narrowed his eyes and put forward his own hypothesis.

Hearing the news that Voldemort was going to duel with Dumbledore at the Leaky Cauldron just now, Lu Yunkai immediately speculated on various conspiracies, but he didn't think in the direction Dumbledore said at all.

It seems more reasonable to be said by Dumbledore now!

"Maybe." Dumbledore nodded, "So, my battle is actually meaningless to us. Those who should oppose him will still do so even if I die. But those who obey now The man of his command, if he dies, will immediately abandon him...he is gambling. And I..."

"Why, you can still refuse his duel?" Lu Yunkai squinted his eyes and asked back, "Confidence collapses very quickly. If you don't show the courage to fight him..."

"Of course I understand." Dumbledore smiled, "You're a smart boy, why don't you understand after I've said so much?"

"...I really don't understand." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "What I don't even understand is why you told me this."

"Because you are the only one I know who may choose to join Voldemort after my defeat." Dumbledore said with a smile, "And you are second only to Harry in the matter of defeating Voldemort. Of course I can't watch you become his helper."

"... Bah, even if I wanted to, Chris wouldn't allow it." Lu Yunkai glared at Dumbledore.

"Not necessarily." Dumbledore shook his head with a smile, "You will contact me to prove that my guess is correct. Because you are afraid and worried. So you must think about making two-handed preparations. For example, if I fail, you What should I do? How can I protect myself, Miss Greengrass...even Miss Hill who is working for you now."

"..."

Lu Yunkai took a deep breath.

indeed.

In fact, just before contacting Dumbledore, Lu Yunkai had secretly started to plan in his mind what to do in case Dumbledore was defeated and killed.

Take refuge in Voldemort?To be his heir?Then how to bargain with him to save the lives of the Muggle-born wizards he knew...

Lu Yunkai was even thinking about what he would do if Voldemort entrusted him with the task of abolishing the International Statute of Secrecy in the future!

"It's not shameful. On the contrary, this is precisely your most precious place. Being calm and smart enough, and not minding being wronged temporarily in order to achieve our goals, is a very important quality for us to defeat Voldemort." Deng Seeing Lu Yunkai's somewhat ashamed expression, Bullido comforted him with a smile, "So, I will also tell you that even if I could, I would not defeat Voldemort, I would give him an advantage, but he would not be able to kill me. And to do this... I don't actually need to lift the curse on me."

"Then wouldn't it be better for you to beat him directly?"

"Actually, I really don't have the confidence to beat Tom! Although he took the wrong path, it is undeniable that he is indeed the most talented student I have taught over the years... Well, if you don't know about divination this time If I only got an E in the exam, maybe I will add one or two words, but unfortunately, there is no one now."

"..." Lu Yunkai felt a tightness in his chest.

What the hell, Malfoy said yesterday that Lu Yunkai was disgusting for showing off his OWLS results, but today Lu Yunkai was reported by the present world.

"Tom's magical talent is indeed too high. If I was 50 years younger, maybe I still have the possibility to try it. Now... I'm really old." Dumbledore shook his head, "So, to defeat him, even Let’s leave it to you young people to kill him! As long as I don’t get defeated or even killed on the spot, I’ve done what I should do.”

"……Fine."

Hearing what Dumbledore said, Lu Yunkai didn't know what else to say, so he just nodded.

"Did you contact me because you thought of someone who could help me lift the curse?" Seeing that Lu Yunkai had understood his good intentions, Dumbledore changed the subject.

"Ah."

"Who? My brother? My relationship with him is actually not very good..."

"Grindelwald."

"..."

Dumbledore interrupts the Mirror's communication.

Lu Yunkai finally used a very obscene trick to redeem a little bit of the shame of being ordered to death by Dumbledore, but he was really not in a good mood.

Putting down the mirror casually, Lu Yunkai lay on the chair, speechless for a while.

And Chris, who heard the whole conversation next to her, didn't say a word, closed her eyes, and seemed to be sleeping.

Only the sound of the waves hitting the rocks not far away brought by the wind seemed so noisy on this summer afternoon.

Lu Yunkai understood what Dumbledore said.

And after figuring out Dumbledore's logic, Lu Yunkai even felt that it was better than letting Dumbledore personally kill Voldemort.

And there is actually a sad reason for this: It turned out that not only Lu Yunkai, but even Dumbledore, the banner of rebelling against Voldemort, seemed to be thinking about whether the magic world he worked so hard for was worth it.

It stands to reason that the number of Death Eaters and the Order of the Phoenix is ​​about the same, and everyone is a staunch enemy of the other, but what else?Those men and women who worked at the Ministry of Magic, those men and women who talked about the impending duel in the Leaky Cauldron, what were they?
Just something Voldemort and Dumbledore fought for?

If they are of no use, fight for them, what to do?
Those who oppose Voldemort must not only realize that they are not "acceptable with Voldemort", but also let them understand that when Dumbledore can't protect them from the wind and rain, they can only stand up and do what they should do , to make the world a better place.

Dumbledore may have a positive attitude towards this point, so he hinted to Lu Yunkai that he would agree to this duel and lose, but not die.And after more other people realize this, they will stand up bravely and take the initiative to fight against Voldemort.

But it is undeniable that Dumbledore is actually gambling.

As long as Dumbledore is [-]% confident in what he said, he will definitely come to Lu Yunkai to help lift the curse, and use his full power to challenge and defeat Voldemort.

After all, victory is always more inspiring than mourning.Isn't it good to defeat the opponent directly from the front with absolute strength?
In fact, Dumbledore was not sure either!Are the wizards he wants to protect worth his life to protect?If it's not worth it... let the wizards choose for themselves!
Sitting there, looking at the sea in front of him, Lu Yunkai suddenly realized, didn't Voldemort think of these things Dumbledore said?He seemed to be slowly falling into desperation and had to gamble, but didn't Dumbledore also have to gamble?

If it is said that Dumbledore is the only one who has an advantage, it is that Voldemort must not be at a disadvantage in this duel, and Dumbledore is relatively easy.

But... no one is much better than anyone else! !
Sighing again, Lu Yunkai picked up the communication mirror again.

Forget it, whether this magic world is worth it or not, even Dumbledore is not sure, so what is there to worry about?
Soldiers come to block the water and cover it with soil!Right now, it's better to manage your friends and relatives first.

Like Daphne...

"Are you finally willing to talk to me?"

Daphne's angry voice appeared on the communication mirror along with her face.

Of course, there is still that deep worry.

"Don't worry, it was Voldemort who challenged Dumbledore, and it has nothing to do with me."

"It's okay! Look at how you look now!"

……

Voldemort issued a challenge to Dumbledore at the mouth of the Ministry of Magic. This matter spread throughout the magic world almost immediately. This time, the Ministry of Magic has no ability to prevent the spread of this seriously provocative Ministry of Magic. .

On the one hand, the huge Dark Mark floated near the Ministry of Magic for a long time, and they couldn't get rid of it at all. On the other hand, the communication mirror was really out of control...

So the next morning's Daily Prophet did not cover up or report this incident as a front-page breaking news, but directly produced a "follow-up report".

"Dumbledore expressed his willingness to fight the mysterious man for the wizarding world"

The photo of Dumbledore holding a wand and casting a spell in front of the front page of the prophet, with this title, set the entire wizarding world on fire.

Everyone started talking about this battle.

Where, how, who wins and who loses...etc.

So throughout the first half of August, there was almost no wizard who was not discussing this matter.

This, of course, also includes Lu Yunkai.

And it seems that neither Dumbledore nor Voldemort want to let this matter continue to drag on.

Ever since, when the time came to mid-August, an issue of the Daily Prophet reported the final conclusion of this matter.

It was probably the smallest issue of the Daily Prophet ever published.

Apart from the title and date of the Daily Prophet, the newspaper of this day has only a few simple words.

tomorrow.Azkaban.

……

"Meow!! Hurry up!! Keep up!!"

"...Can you slow down! This is my first time visiting this place!"

"I told you not to come! You must come! Do you think Azkaban is a fun attraction, meow??"

"...Hush your voice!! There are people!!"

Lu Yunkai covered the cat's mouth.

The figure of a wizard flashed out in front of Lu Yunkai, and then walked forward.

Lu Yunkai held his breath for a while before he heaved a sigh of relief.

"This broken cloak is really deceitful." Lu Yunkai muttered, holding the invisibility cloak with both hands, and continued to move forward.

In the north of England, far away in the sea, there is an isolated island.There are lightning, thunder, storms and storms around here all the year round. Generally speaking, neither wizards nor Muggles would think of this place.

Here is the most notorious prison in the wizarding world, Azkaban.

Led by Chris, Lu Yunkai, who was wearing an invisibility cloak, rode a flying broom for a long time before arriving at the outskirts of the island. Finally, he escaped the patrolling dementors and came to the island.

On one side of the island, there is a huge prison, which is so dark that you can’t even see a ray of light from the outside. On the other side of the island, there is still a little flat land. According to Chris, here is The personnel of the Ministry of Magic escorted the prisoners and handed them over to the place where the dementors were guarded in Azkaban.

Lu Yunkai is now on the edge of this flat land, waiting.

And with the sudden appearance of a person that Lu Yunkai didn't know, this flat land that was quiet just now suddenly became lively.

Puff puff phantom apparition sounded one after another, and in a short while, there were seventeen or eight people in this place.

After this group of people arrived, they started working immediately without any delay. More than a dozen protective spells hit the half-existing protective cover outside the Azkaban Prison, seeming to strengthen the protection.

"Meow, is it useful? If Voldemort wins today, the first thing he will do is to release all the prisoners in Azkaban. Can these people stop him?" Chris squatted on Lu Yunkai's shoulder Nagging in a low voice.

"Do your best, follow the fate." Lu Yunkai shook his head.

"Meow, what did you think about what I told you?"

"...Forget it! Although most of the people in Azkaban are serious criminals, not everyone deserves to die." Lu Yunkai shook his head.

"But you will be imprisoned in Azkaban, even if you die." Chris shook her head, "Give it to me! Hurry up! There are less than two hours before the duel will start, before that I have to be ready."

"Or forget it..."

"Meow! Do you know how much damage will be caused after the villains locked in here are released by Voldemort?" Chris was a little anxious, "You will pity them then, you pity the innocent wizards outside Are you with Muggles? In case someone here is eyeing Daphne, will there be regret medicine in your system?"

"..."

"Meow, stop the ink marks! Hurry up!!" Chris slapped Lu Yun angrily.

Lu Yunkai sighed softly, took out a large pack of Skyfire Potion from the system, and handed it to Chris.

"Be careful, don't blow up Azkaban before you pay for it yourself."

"Meow! No! No!!" Chris looked at the huge backpack that was more than three times its size, and became more and more excited, "130 bottles, is it enough?"

"I have prepared 150 bottles for you..."

"Meow!! You actually want to see Azkaban bombed more than I do!!" Chris rolled a blank look at Lu Yun, "I'm leaving."

"Be careful!!"

"Meow! I know!! Long-winded!!"

Chrissy opened her mouth to grab the strap of the backpack that Lu Yunkai had given her, dragged the huge backpack, and disappeared behind the protective wall being reinforced by wizards from the Ministry of Magic in a few flashes.

Lu Yunkai shook his head lightly, then moved to a more remote place.

At this moment, more than a dozen black lights suddenly flashed in the sky.

Voldemort appeared with his squires.

Lu Yunkai's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

Isn't there still a long time before the agreed duel time?That arrives so fast? ?
Chris can't make it in time! ?

Alas, I knew I shouldn't have ink blots!
Lu Yunkai slightly regretted it.
