Hogwarts: The Founder Reborn

Chapter 209 Death Is Also a Journey

Dumbledore was naturally angry and funny, but when his eyes fell on Salazar's almost identical face to Grindelwald's, he suddenly felt that it was not important.

At that time, he was about the same age as Salazar.

Salazar squatted beside Dumbledore, grabbing the hand he hid behind him. Dumbledore stared at the top of Salazar's head, and the hand that he had been hiding with all his strength gradually lost his strength.

Salazar pulled out the hand, and saw that Dumbledore's fingers were pitch black, and Dumbledore was wearing a ring on his finger, a ring inlaid with a dark stone.

Salazar stared at the ring and asked, "Didn't you see such a trap?!"

He didn't realize the trembling in his tone until he finished speaking, it was a terrible curse.

"Albus...what's the matter with you?" Salazar held the wrinkled hand full of age spots in both hands, as if he realized that he was standing in front of an elderly man, who was over 100 years old. Yes.

"Yeah, even though I knew it was a trap, I still fell for it." Dumbledore said softly, stroking Salazar's young collagen-filled face with his other hand. "There are always temptations that I can't refuse. I'm sorry, child."

Dumbledore looked at the ring on his finger, pointed to the stone, and said, "This is the resurrection stone, yes, the legendary resurrection stone... I didn't expect it either, maybe it is so."

Salazar tried to take the ring off Dumbledore's hand, but Dumbledore held his hand with the other hand, and he looked up at Dumbledore suspiciously.

"Albus?"

Dumbledore shook his head and said, "I know my own physical condition."

Salazar stared into Dumbledore's eyes, seeing a trace of determination in his eyes.

"Pick it off!" Salazar said.

Dumbledore just looked at him with blank eyes.

"It will kill you!"

But Dumbledore was unmoved.

Salazar couldn't care less about Dumbledore's refusal, he clasped Dumbledore's hand with one hand, and tried to take the ring off his finger with the other hand, but no matter how hard he tried, the ring wouldn't It looks like it grew on Dumbledore's finger, and it can't be taken off no matter what.

"I'm going to find Doris! I'm going to find Finny, and Vanessa." Salazar said. "There's always a way to get it off."

"But after taking it off, how will the Horcrux on it be destroyed?"

Dumbledore smiled in relief, and he stroked the top of Salazar's head gently.

"Son, Voldemort specially left this for me to sacrifice myself to destroy this Horcrux. I can't take it off."

Sarah examined the ring, finding it an eyesore.

"You promised Gellert that you will retire after Voldemort's matter is resolved! You asked him to leave you a watchman's dormitory in Nurmengard! You said that after you retire, you will go to the gate of Nurmengard ! Albus..."

Salazar was a little flustered.

"You promised him. He packed up the dormitory and even wrote me a letter to show off. If you don't go, let him spend all his thoughts in vain."

He grabbed the low-necked sweater on his body and said, "He knows how to knit a lot of sweaters and socks. Although I always think the clothes are ugly, he still learns to make them."

Dumbledore just looked at Salazar in silence.

"You can't let him down." Salazar stared into Dumbledore's eyes, he didn't realize how anxious his tone was. "I know he's not good, he's done something wrong, he's still a jerk, but he has changed, you don't want him to leave Nurmengard, you think his crimes cannot be forgiven, he It's always been there!"

"He can come out, but just because you think he should lose his freedom to make atonement, he locked himself there. I didn't ask you to forgive him, but you promised him."

"You promised him..."

Dumbledore just said lightly: "There are always things that are more meaningful than me going to Nurmengard as a guard."

He touched Salazar's cheek lightly, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes with his fingers.

"When this semester is over, you can get engaged to that child, and I will discuss it with Sirius."

He looked at Salazar with relief and greed.

Dumbledore smiled lovingly, looking at this special child, this was his child, his and Grindelwald's child.

"It's a good thing that you and that child don't have as many entanglements as I have with Gellert. As a parent and an elder, I will always bless you for your own happiness."

Salazar shook his head slightly.

"Albus, can I call them all here? Let's try, and the curse will be lifted. There are other ways to deal with the Horcrux."

Dumbledore just smiled gently. He looked at Salazar, and suddenly asked, "Did you receive my gift? That's the poster of my favorite Quidditch team. It was only when I got back from the house that I realized that I needed to prepare Christmas presents for you."

Salazar said again, "I called them all over! Albus..."

Dumbledore seemed not to have heard Salazar's words, and said: "At this time, everyone should go down to have breakfast, it must be like this, let's go down too... Ah, I forgot that you have already had breakfast, today Huo Does Gwartz's elf have any special dishes?"

He looked excited about the new dish.

"Tell me about it, Thrall."

Sarah looked at the old man Gu Zuoyan in front of her, feeling a sense of powerlessness welling up in her heart.

"Dad, let's try it, shall we?"

Dumbledore was stunned by the cry of his father.

Salazar seldom called him that. Although nominally or theoretically he was the father of the child, Salazar would probably not be able to call him such an old man like Dumbledore.

Mostly he'll call him Albus Dumbledore or Professor Dumbledore or something.

But this father really called Dumbledore off guard.

"If you insist, boy, I will allow it," said Dumbledore.

Salazar stepped forward to hug Dumbledore when he heard this, his voice muffled.

"You can't go back on your engagement! But you will be there when I get married. Marriage is very important to me. You know that Gellert can't go, so you can't be here, right?"

Dumbledore smiled. He patted Salazar on the back and said softly, "Don't worry about me so much. Although this curse has hurt me a lot, I guess I can live for three or four years."

"Albus!"

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about that."

Dumbledore stroked Salazar's back. The sweater was a little tricky, probably because Grindelwald's skills were not that good, but even so, the child accepted the gift happily.

At such a moment, Dumbledore had the thought of regretting it.

Grindelwald and Salazar, there are still people in this world who he cares about whether he will be sad for himself.

"Mortal, Thrall, I'm an old man."

Even though he felt sorry for Salazar's sadness, Dumbledore still said these ruthless words.

"Death is a new journey for me too, don't be so afraid, child."

"Don't be afraid..."
