Build the Traveler Alliance from scratch

You've thrown yourself into a trap, right?

Looking at the tall and thin student who greeted him respectfully, Lin Zhongtian had a strange smile on his face.

Dumbledore coughed lightly and introduced Lin Zhongtian with a smile: "This is Ender Kerr, a fourth-year student from Slytherin College. He was also the first in the fourth grade last year. He has excellent grades and excellent talent. It’s just that my personality is a bit unsociable…”

At this point, Dumbledore paused and said with a smile: "I heard that you are very interested in Eastern culture and you taught yourself Chinese because of it?"

"Yes, Professor."

Ander answered in Chinese with a smile, and then cupped his hands towards Lin Zhongtian in a mocking manner.

"Hogwarts, Ender Kerr, met the Master."

He is indeed a time traveler!

And he’s still Chinese…

Lin Zhongtian raised the corner of his mouth and looked at him up and down with a strange look.

Ander noticed Lin Zhongtian's strange gaze, but he only thought that the other person was surprised by his fluent Chinese and didn't think much about it.

Lin Zhongtian chatted with him for a few words with a smile, and found that this guy had indeed watched "Under One Person", and was trying to explore the situation in the Eastern wizarding world between the lines. He seemed to be very interested in practicing Qi.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Zhongtian turned to look at Dumbledore.

"Old Deng." Lin Zhongtian said with a smile, "Since your students are so interested in our Eastern culture, it just so happens that we also have many children there who are interested in the West. Why don't we arrange a period of exchange students from the East and the West? What do you think?"

"OK!"

Dumbledore's eyes lit up and he agreed immediately.

Lin Zhongtian turned to look at Ander, and asked with a smile: "As for the first batch of exchange students, do you have any recommendations?"

"……me?"

Ender was stunned for a moment, without thinking too much, and said bluntly: "If you want me to recommend, I can only think of Fana Aibo. She is a second-year student in Ravenclaw, and she also likes Eastern culture very much. He learned Chinese on his own in just three days, and his learning ability is much better than mine."

"oh?"

Any unexpected gains?

Lin Zhongtian couldn't help but raised his eyebrows and looked at Dumbledore.

Dumbledore smiled slightly and introduced Fana Abbott to Lin Zhongtian in a showy tone.

As expected, just looking at this year and a half of college experience, Fana Aibo's resume is much more dazzling than Ander's.

However, Fana's identity attracted Lin Zhongtian's attention.

Hannah Abbott's twin sister...

Does this girl have sisters in the original novel?

And they are twin sisters of twins?

Is it possible that there are two or more time travelers in this world? !

Lin Zhongtian couldn't help being surprised, and at the same time he felt a hint of excitement.

Plural levels of traversers mean that it is easier for traversers to traverse into this world.

And it is easier to travel to this world, which means that the spatial coordinates of this world are likely to be closer to the home world...

Although he failed to find the location of his hometown world, now Lin Zhongtian feels that he may have found a direction.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Zhongtian asked again: "Are there any other candidates to recommend?"

Ender thought for a while and said, "Hermione Granger, a sophomore in Gryffindor House, she is also..."

Great, finally a plot character from the original novel!

Lin Zhongtian nodded secretly, not paying attention to what Ander said next.

It seems that there should be only these two time travelers in Hogwarts, at least Ender only knows about two.

Lin Zhongtian thought for a while and said with a smile: "Well, Lao Deng, the first batch of exchange students is of an experimental nature. In addition, Chinese is relatively difficult to learn. For many Western students, it is a hellish difficulty. Otherwise, we must first decide Let’s choose between two people, you choose Ander and Fana who can speak Chinese, and I’ll also choose two children who can speak English, what do you think?”

Dumbledore thought for a moment, smiled and nodded in agreement: "Just do as you say!"

A smile appeared on Ender's face, but the next second, the smile on his face froze.

"What you did just now was very good!" Lin Zhongtian suddenly spoke and asked with a smile, "But why did you suddenly stop midway? Did you not want to hurt Harry, or were you giving way to the Ravenclaw girl?"

"This...I..."

Ender's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but wander back and forth between Lin Zhongtian and Dumbledore. It seemed that he didn't expect that his little move had been discovered by these two old monsters, and they pointed it out directly in front of his face.

Dumbledore glanced at Lin Zhongtian helplessly, then patted Ender on the shoulder, and chuckled in his somewhat nervous eyes: "Next time you take action, remember to be more concealed. It is best to use the floating spell first. Puff your sleeves so you can wave your wand without being noticed - remember this, I speak from experience!"

With that said, Dumbledore winked playfully, and then pulled Lin Zhongtian away from the venue with a smile.

Watching the two powerful monster old men leave, Ender finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then he glanced around to make sure no one else heard their conversation, and then left in a hurry.

…

…

Returning to Hogwarts Castle, you are greeted by an empty and vast entrance hall, with gorgeous crystal chandeliers hanging from the high ceiling, and stone walls filled with statues and blazing torches.

Walking on the marble floor, Lin Zhongtian was thinking in his heart.

Since it was an agreement he made with Dumbledore, he would naturally not leave it to China in this world to complete it.

He had already decided that he would talk to Zhao Lihe and the others after he returned and select two second-generation wearers who were interested in magic to come as exchange students.

As for Fana and Ender, who were exchanged in the past, of course, they will be recruited as members of the alliance depending on the situation. If they become time and space travelers in the future, they can also travel around the world in the name of exchange students and leave school openly and openly.

After passing a set of marble stairs, Lin Zhongtian followed Dumbledore to a stone beast statue.

Dumbledore said softly "lemon ice cream", and the stone beast immediately jumped aside, and the wall behind opened up, revealing the spiral staircase that slowly spiraled upward inside the wall.

"Lemon ice cream?"

Lin Zhongtian looked at Dumbledore strangely.

Dumbledore smiled slightly, stretched out his hand sideways and said, "Come with me, Heavenly Master."

As the spiral staircase reached the end, an oak door appeared in front of Lin Zhongtian. There was a brass door knocker in the shape of a griffin's head.

The spacious circular room behind the door is Dumbledore's principal's office!

Entering the office, Lin Zhongtian looked at the portraits of past principals hanging on the wall, and finally focused on the red bald bird on a tall gilded branch behind the door.

"Is this your Phoenix Fox?"

Lin Zhongtian looked at Fox with interest.

The feathers of this phoenix bird are fiery red, but some of the feathers on the back of the body have fallen out. Its golden claws are weakly grasping the gold-plated perch below, and it seems that it is not in a good mental state.

"That's right." Dumbledore walked up to Fox, stroked his head and whispered softly, "It's a bit unlucky for you to come here. Fox's nirvana will be in a few days. Otherwise, you will be able to appreciate its true beauty. Looks like..."

"That's such a shame?"

Lin Zhongtian expressed regret and looked at Fox with bright eyes.

Although the phoenix in this world does not match the powerful mythical beast in his impression, even so, it is still a rare and precious species, which is of great collection value.

Perhaps sensing the interest in Lin Zhongtian's eyes, Fox, who was originally a little depressed, suddenly became energetic.

It quickly flapped its wings and landed on Dumbledore. A pair of bird eyes watched Lin Zhongtian in the room warily.

Dumbledore twitched the corner of his mouth and comforted Fox helplessly. Then he sat behind the desk, looked at Lin Zhongtian and asked, "Master Tian, ​​where are you living now, the embassy or a Muggle hotel?"

"Embassy, ​​what's the problem?"

"Of course there is a problem." Dumbledore said enthusiastically. "The embassy is a Muggle place after all. It's too inconvenient. Why not move to Hogwarts for a few days? We just happen to have a few free teacher dormitories. , we can arrange it for you.”

Hearing Dumbledore's warm invitation, Lin Zhongtian said with a smile but not a smile: "There is an old Chinese saying that showing courtesy for nothing is a traitor or a thief. Old Deng, you are so enthusiastic, are you asking for something from me?"

"There really is..."

Dumbledore sighed: "I wonder, Master, have you ever heard of Slytherin's Legend of the Chamber of Secrets?"

Of course I’ve heard of it!

Lin Zhongtian thought to himself, but still shook his head, expressing doubts.

Dumbledore nodded slightly and told the legend about the Chamber of Secrets in a solemn tone.

To put it simply, it is the secret room built in Hogwarts by Salazar Slytherin, one of the founders of Hogwarts. It was originally used to teach his students magic that the other three founders did not agree with, such as dark magic. .

But later, as the differences between Slytherin and the other three founders grew larger, Slytherin decided to leave the school and turned the secret room he built into a lair of monsters that only he or his descendants could control. .

After he left, the legend of the Chamber of Secrets continued to spread throughout Slytherin House and throughout Hogwarts.

It is said that there is an ancient monster in the secret room. When the secret room is opened, it will kill all Muggle-born students in the school...

Dumbledore sighed: "A few days ago, the cat 'Mrs. Norris' raised by Hogwarts administrator Argus Filch was petrified. I guess Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets may have been opened again... …”

Lin Zhongtian said with great interest: "So you want to seek my help?"

"No." Dumbledore shook his head and said, "Someone will solve the issue of the Chamber of Secrets. What I'm worried about is that if there are any more victims in the future, someone will use this matter to attack me and incite the school directors to expel me from Hogg." Watts…”

"That's why you want to invite us to stay." Lin Zhongtian said thoughtfully, "In this case, for diplomatic reasons, the school directors will not be able to attack you, right?"

Dumbledore smiled.

He is indeed an old fox!

Lin Zhongtian sighed in his heart, then looked at him with a smile and agreed.

I'm guilty of being addicted to Baldur's Gate 3 last night, which almost caused me to wake up this afternoon, so I only have two updates today, and I will pay for it with four updates tomorrow.
