Jon can understand Perenal's mentality after thinking about it.

Mr. Flamel fulfilled his wish and left. It was considered a peaceful death and there was no need to be too sad. Moreover, as Perenal said, a life of more than 600 years and nearly 700 years is enough to make people feel at ease.

to death.

After the witch left, only Jon and Dumbledore were left.

After the fire of the cigar went out, Dumbledore returned to his previous appearance. He did not ask about the relationship between Jon and Flamel, either because he already knew about it or he didn't care.

Just like when dealing with many things.

Jon suspected that Dumbledore had obsessive-compulsive disorder or paranoia.

In such dead silence, Jon suddenly wanted to get to know this legendary wizard again.

"Dumbledore, let's have a frank chat?"

What's there to talk about?

It must be difficult for two people with such a big age difference and hiding so much from each other to talk candidly.

So Jon spoke.

There was no honorific, the positions were adjusted, and the two people slowly left the cemetery. On the way, he asked a question first.

"I have seen what happened to the Flamel couple. When did you know about it?"

"Not long ago, I rarely went to see them, so I was surprised."

Dumbledore obviously didn't want to talk about the Flamel couple. He changed the topic when the two of them reached the entrance of the cemetery, which was the end of the west mountain.

Go left to a secret passage, the exit is in the dense forest, turn left from the dense forest and you will find the training ground where Jon lives.

Dumbledore obviously will not take this road, he will directly apparate back to the castle from here.

But both men stopped here.

"Jon, let's talk about this school."

Dumbledore has always been a man who "cared about the country and the people", and Jon was convinced of this.

He is a sacred legendary wizard, a righteous and upright existence, with justice as his backing at all times.

"Don't think of me as so noble, I'm just an ordinary person."

Dumbledore's old voice sounded particularly reassuring, but Jon had something in his heart and didn't feel that this voice was very stable.

"No matter who you are, you will want your living environment to be better, don't you do the same?"

Jon was silent, and after a moment he responded: "You and I are different, Dumbledore. As a legendary wizard, you have too many ways to solve certain things, but I am different."

"What's the difference? With your status, you can actually have everything I have if you want.

As long as you return to Hogwarts and wait with peace of mind, I won't use you for anything. You don't need to worry about anything. Voldemort will leave soon and Hogwarts will return to its former peace.

.”

"Do you think I can? Professor? I've told you a long time ago that actually I don't want to have everything you have now."

Jon laughed: "Even the ancestor of my family has no ability to make my life easier. My life is exactly the life I want."

He said: "At this point, the ancestor Helga couldn't do it, and you are naturally the same."

"I think I can give you a greater guarantee that you can live the life you want, but, Jon, you have to understand that any freedom in the world does not come without a price."

"Of course, I admit that there is a price." Jon twitched his lips indifferently: "Whether I want it or not, I have now been dragged into the quagmire of fighting against the mysterious man, so since I am already in it

, at least I need to figure out what the pros and cons are to me.

I once thought about being an honest bystander and not caring about anything, but obviously, things did not develop as I expected. Mr. Principal, I think you should understand that nothing will go according to your plan.

, continue to develop perfectly.”

"Do you have so little confidence in me?"

"This is not a question of confidence, principal. I just want to say that in this kind of matter, no one can guarantee the absolute truth of the plan and my absolute safety. The mysterious man is a madman and he will kill many people. I don't want to be this

One of them."

Jon said softly: "Your promise can be made many times to many people, but I only have one life, so I really can't put it on top of your promise.

I have done so much, but I just want to live well. I still have a long time to live, and there is still a lot of time to waste, so I don’t want to die too early due to something done by some dark wizards.

.

You know, I've been there before, so..."

The atmosphere suddenly solidified.

The night air was already cold, but now it has become even colder. Jon's merciless way of speaking is really unacceptable.

He has not learned at all the hypocritical way pure-blood families or big shots talk to each other.

But isn't this unruly way of speaking just for young people?

Although he doesn't like it very much, Jon is not merciless at all when he takes advantage of his status and age.

"Well, it seems that our conversation cannot end peacefully this time, so let's leave it at that."

Dumbledore obviously knew that he could not convince Jon, because he had tried too many times before, but always failed.

Jon is like a piece of steel that has been tempered over time, always willing to bend rather than bend in front of him.

"Maybe it's uncomfortable to ask you this, but I still have a question."

Seeing that Dumbledore would leave at any time, Jon also asked the last question: "Why do you stay here all the time? Isn't it tiring trying to completely control this place? In fact, with your identity, you can leave here and ignore this school.

What is it like."

"Well, it's probably because of responsibility. After all, he was taught by me, and it's up to me to finish him off."

"Is it like you stood up to face Grindelwald back then? But you have to know that sitting in this position for too long will arouse resentment from others."

The fall of a saint is what people love to see most, and it is the same no matter what society it is in.

"But what can I do?"

Dumbledore asked back, his tone beginning to become helpless: "Of course I know there are many people who hate me, such as those in the Ministry of Magic and the Daily Prophet who feel that I have become an old fool in this position.

The reason why I sit in this seat and plan these things is just because there are still people who want me to be here."
