Chapter 405 Godric: Whoever Is Recognized by the Sword Will Be My Heir!

"Dumbledore?" When he heard this name, Godric was stunned: Salazar seemed to have mentioned this name. By the way, he introduced this person to himself when talking about the headmaster of Hogwarts, saying that Dumbledore was a Gryffindor who had awakened his domain.

"It seems that you have heard of my name." Dumbledore said with a smile.

Godric came here and said a total of four sentences, revealing a lot of information. His ability to keep a secret is no less than Hagrid.

First, he mentioned Salazar, which indirectly confirmed one of Dumbledore's inferences, and Godric's attitude when mentioning Salazar was also quite ambiguous, which seemed to be inconsistent with everyone's stereotype.

Gryffindor and Slytherin, now it seems that they are not really enemies, and their relationship is a bit subtle.

Dumbledore couldn't help but think of a person, and then he shook his head hard to expel the figure of that person from his mind.

Compared with prying into the relationship between the two founders, Dumbledore was more interested in Godric knowing himself.

How did he know his name? Someone must have told him. Dumbledore had several bold guesses in his mind.

Dumbledore's words alerted Godric, and he suddenly realized that he seemed to have exposed a lot of information.

Logically speaking, he, a dead man, should not know Dumbledore's name.

"Oh my God, is that my hat?" Godric changed the subject directly.

Dumbledore looked in the direction of Godric's fingertips and found that Godric's phantom had shifted his focus to the Sorting Hat on the shelf.

"Yes, we use the Sorting Hat you left behind to sort the new students--" Dumbledore immediately began to proudly introduce the Sorting Hat.

He really wanted to get the approval of the phantom in front of him.

Unlike the other three founders, this is the founder of Gryffindor College, and his approval means a lot to Dumbledore.

But Godric interrupted Dumbledore directly.

"Why does this hat look dirty? Do you never wash it?"

Dumbledore: ? ? ?

"Ah?" He didn't react for a moment.

Godric repeated his question again.

This question made Dumbledore silent.

"Since I entered Hogwarts, this hat has never been cleaned. Now it is in a much better condition than before, because a bold professor cleaned it last year. But I never cleaned it afterwards - it didn't ask me to do such a thing."

Godric rolled his eyes: no owl would allow humans to bathe themselves. His hat must have tried every means to avoid cleaning.

He suspected that it was just a certain headmaster who was lazy at first, and later gradually guided by the Sorting Hat to the Sorting Hat cannot be washed.

"There is no way, we are also afraid of damaging it by washing it."

"How can a creation infused with the wisdom of the four of us be so easily damaged? Just wash it boldly." When thinking of the former Hogwarts freshmen who had to wear a hat that was never washed for the Sorting Ceremony, even Godric, who was known for his rough lines, felt his scalp tingling.

Dumbledore nodded, indicating that he would clean the Sorting Hat on time.

"By the way, I guess you have also mastered the secret of the Sorting Hat, right?" Godric suddenly remembered something and asked hurriedly.

Dumbledore had already walked to the Sorting Hat. After hearing Godric's question, he was stunned for a moment, then picked up the Sorting Hat, reached into the hat with his other hand, and fished out a silver sword.

"Well done!" Godric's face was full of joy.

Looking at Gryffindor who suddenly became happy, Dumbledore remembered an ancient legend: those who are recognized by the Gryffindor Sword will get help from Gryffindor.

But does "help" only mean that the Gryffindor Sword can be drawn from the Sorting Hat? Even in the classical era, it would be difficult to have any effect, right?

As the headmaster of Hogwarts who came from Gryffindor College, Dumbledore has been in charge of the Gryffindor Sword for decades. However, in recent years, he has rarely observed the Gryffindor Sword carefully. In his cognition, the Gryffindor sword was just a long sword forged by goblins, which had certain magical effects and could absorb external magical power.

But when he picked up the sword again after mastering the domain, he had a new feeling: Senior Godric left precious wealth on this sword.

Dumbledore picked up the sword and waved it casually, and a flash of fire appeared on the blade.

The leaping flames startled the former headmasters on the portrait wall. When they opened their eyes, they saw Dumbledore walking around in the office, muttering something.

The headmasters fell into panic: Is Albus Dumbledore crazy?

What they didn't know was that at this moment Dumbledore was talking to the oldest existence in the castle.

"This sword has many wonderful uses, you have to develop it well." Godric looked at the long sword in Dumbledore's hand with gentle eyes.

"Of course." Dumbledore held the long sword in his hand and felt an endless stream of power pouring into his body.

With this sword, his domain will be more powerfully amplified, and even if the domain is not deployed, the flames from the sword can also act as a mini domain.

This sword is a good thing, but it is a pity that only those who are proficient in the flow of magic can use it.

"Actually, you don't really need it." Godric said with a smile: "The people who are most suitable for it are those who have just touched the field or the owners of non-elemental fields."

In other words, Godric felt that with Dumbledore's strength, this sword could only serve as an icing on the cake.

After hearing what the senior Gryffindor said, Dumbledore also understood that the Sword of Gryffindor was Godric's "inheritance" left to Hogwarts.

If there is a talent shortage in Hogwarts one day in the future, and the entire school cannot find a strong person with a field, the principal of Hogwarts can still hold the Sword of Gryffindor and deal with the real strong people in the field for a while, so that The school will not completely lack field-level combat capabilities.

It's just that the decline of the entire magical world into this state was not what Gryffindor could have expected.

"We have lost a lot of valuable knowledge." Dumbledore was a little disappointed: If he could have been exposed to domain knowledge earlier, maybe everything would be different, right?

"Knowledge is lost just because it fails to follow the trend of the times." Godric took the initiative to comfort Dumbledore, "When I was young, I heard such an interesting rumor during my adventure journey - the previous overlord of the world was not Humans, but dragons and other magical animals, but in the end they gradually disappeared, and humans gained the absolute upper hand. "

Dumbledore and Gryffindor fell silent at the same time, leaving only the whispers in the headmaster's portrait in the entire office.

"Is that a phoenix?" Godric's attention was attracted by the big red bird squatting on a sycamore branch behind the door.

Dumbledore nodded and told Godric that it was his Phoenix Fawkes.

"Cool!" Godric was extremely happy after learning that Dumbledore not only had a domain, could draw the Sword of Gryffindor from the Sorting Hat, and also had a phoenix as a pet.

"Since you can take out my sword from the Sorting Hat, it means you are a real Gryffindor." Godric spoke to himself.

Dumbledore was a little confused by the senior's meaningless words, but he still decided to listen patiently to what Gryffindor had to say.

"You have been recognized by the sword, Albus, you are my heir." Gryffindor changed the topic and said seriously.

Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, then agreed casually.

He didn't know what the word "heir" meant. He thought it was no different from "true Gryffindor".

"It's a deal~ When you meet the heirs of other founders in the future, remember to reveal your identity!" Godric laughed heartily.

According to Godric's rules, the person recognized by the Sword of Gryffindor is the heir of Gryffindor! As for when this rule was established, there is no need to delve into it. Anyway, Gryffindor believed that Salazar must have no idea about the way he chose his heir.

In the hearty laughter, Godric's phantom disappeared.

Only a lingering sound was left, gradually dissipating in the empty office——

[Albus, I beg you not to indulge in false phantoms and memories. This will do you more harm than good. The Resurrection Stone cannot truly bring the deceased back to earth. Return the ring to its owner. Keeping it with you will only bring negative effects to you】

Feeling the heat wave as Gryffindor dissipated, Dumbledore sighed.

He understood that what Gryffindor said was correct, but not everyone had the courage to embrace what was right, even Gryffindor, who was known for being "brave".

After holding the black stone in the ring and staring at it for a long time, Dumbledore finally made up his mind and threw it on the desk.

After doing all this, Dumbledore suddenly relaxed as if a huge burden had been lifted. He turned around, trying to resist the urge to look back at the Resurrection Stone Ring.

Dumbledore had no confidence in suppressing the urge to put the ring on his finger when he saw it again.

"Fawkes, do me a favor." Dumbledore called to the dozing Phoenix Fawkes. He asked Fox to return the Resurrection Stone ring to Professor White's office.

Although Fox did not understand Dumbledore's intentions, he still faithfully implemented his decision.

A flash of red light flashed, and Phoenix Fox disappeared together with the Resurrection Stone ring on the table.

Dumbledore was inexplicably reminded of the Christmas holidays three years ago.

At that time, Harry Potter, who had just entered school, was wandering around the castle wearing his father's invisibility cloak, and finally found the Mirror of Erised by accident.

As expected, Harry becomes obsessed with the illusion created by the magic mirror. What did you tell him at that time?

[It is useless to indulge in illusory dreams and forget about real life. Remember this. Well; why not put on that marvelous invisibility cloak and go back to sleep? 】

Why can't I go back and lie on the bed and have a good sleep when I'm here?

The more I live, the more I go back.

Dumbledore shook his head and smiled bitterly, and really walked to his bedroom. He didn't even know if he should expect to see his sister in his dream.

Helga and Les watched the big golden-red bird fly into the window and drop a black gemstone ring on the ground.

"What a beautiful creature. The Dumbledore family is well-deserved." Helga looked at the Phoenix's leaving figure with envy in her eyes - she wanted to raise a Phoenix too!

"Perhaps only someone like Albus Dumbledore who can overcome his inner desires can be recognized by the Phoenix?" Rice's body gradually appeared in mid-air.

"Are you saying that I can't overcome my inner desires?"

"Helga, shouldn't your office be repaired? It's not a good thing to leave it like this! Do you want me to help?"

...

Deep in the dark cave, bubbles were bubbling on the surface of a pool filled with unknown liquid.

"There's no time." Taurus said coldly.

His two companions never returned after they went out to find Voldemort's body last time. Later, he followed the traces and found that they were 90% sure that they had been killed.

Although Taurus was often dizzy with anger at Gemini's remarks, they still had feelings after working together for a long time. The resentment brought by the death of the two had nowhere to vent, and was eventually transferred to Voldemort.

This also made the relationship between him and Voldemort quite stiff.

"Father's bones, servant's flesh, enemy's blood..." A snake-like sound came from the depths of the pool.

"I've prepared everything for you." Taurus had long heard Voldemort's rhetoric. After Voldemort gave him some key information, he successfully obtained the three things Voldemort needed to revive.

"Did you get the blood of that Potter?" Voldemort's voice revealed a hint of joy.

"No. But fortunately, your enemies are everywhere, and I didn't spend too much effort." Taurus shook his head.

Harry Potter was well protected, and it was difficult to get his blood, and it would alert the enemy. If Dumbledore was attracted, it would be troublesome.

"I need Potter's blood!" Voldemort was angry.

"You have no choice." Taurus was very tough and directly retorted.

Voldemort: ...

Voldemort is a smart man. He understands that people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and he also knows that he is not currently favored by this secret order monk, so after a moment of hesitation, he surrendered.

Voldemort did not have to have Harry Potter's blood. The reason why he was obsessed with Harry's blood was to restore the dignity he lost when he failed.

For him, defeating and killing that Potter in front of many followers is extremely important, and it is the first step to re-establish prestige.

But now he is under the command of the Secret Order, and his followers have long since scattered, so this persistence seems unnecessary.

"Okay."

Finally, Voldemort accepted the raw materials provided by Taurus.

The resurrection ceremony began.
