"It does sound like a trouble." Dumbledore raised his eyebrows: "Then why are you and Mr. Borgin visiting together this time?"

"Come on, you know our purpose very well. There is no need for you to use such words to test us." Tang Bai waved his hand, exposing Dumbledore's ambiguity. Although Dumbledore had always behaved in front of the young wizards,

A kind, even a little confused old man, but Tang Bai believed that his vision of people and his sensitivity to things had not deteriorated in any way.

"Mr. Bojin himself is a master of alchemy. Although I am proficient in various fields, I don't think I can surpass Mr. Bojin at all in alchemy. If you ask for my help, of course I will do my best."

You can, but please don't expect too much from me." Dumbledore shook his head.

"We actually don't intend to let you be the main force." Bo Jin Bock couldn't help but muttered.

"Oh?" Dumbledore's eyes narrowed, and he looked thoughtfully at Tang Bai and Borgin Burke through the eye sockets on the bridge of his nose.

"I heard that you and Nico Flamel are close friends?" Seeing that Dumbledore must have guessed their purpose, Tang Bai had no intention of being secretive anymore.

"I admit it." Dumbledore nodded, as if he was thinking about something, and said slowly: "So, your real purpose this time is to come for Nico?"

"I don't deny that I have this consideration. After all, Nico Flamel is the greatest alchemist master of this era, isn't he? He is a legend who is still alive today!" Tang Bai said sincerely.

"I'm afraid I have to disappoint you. Nick has ignored outside affairs for a long time. Even I can't bother him and his wife." Dumbledore shook his head: "I don't deny that I know Nick and his wife.

Their current residential address, but you have to know that what they expect now is a peaceful and peaceful life without being disturbed."

"Even if the world will undergo some bad changes and shocks in the future, will it still be the case?" Tang Bai asked again with a very calm expression.

From the beginning, Tang Bai had anticipated Dumbledore's reaction. He would not easily reveal Nico Flamel's address and information, or even bother him for certain things. And Dumbledore would not easily disclose the address and information of Nico Flamel.

If Dumbledore is unwilling, as of now, Tang Bai has not found anyone in this world who can force Dumbledore to reveal his innermost secrets.

In terms of his rigorous tone of voice and keeping his friends' secrets, Dumbledore is definitely the best among wizards. If he can use some casual words or excuses to find out the secrets in Dumbledore's heart, he is not

Dumbledore. And Nico Flamel is even less likely to disclose his address or contact information to Dumbledore.

To put it bluntly, Dumbledore's trust in Tang Bai was far less than his trust in Snape. Even when it came to dealing with Voldemort, Tang Bai had provided Dumbledore with a lot of information.

and help, but the trust and friendship between the two parties are only limited to that level.

After all, Tang Bai and Dumbledore are not the same kind of people. They can cooperate. They have a certain degree of friendship and trust in each other. When their interests and goals are consistent, they can work together closely.

Still no problem.

But if you want to go one step further and let the two form a closer cooperative relationship and even share certain unknown secrets, this is extremely difficult.

Just like it is impossible for Tang Bai to really open his heart to Dumbledore, and he has a certain degree of wariness and vigilance towards him, the same is true for Dumbledore's sense of Tang Bai. Both parties can sit down and have a friendly and cordial conversation.

In the atmosphere like friends, they are discussing or talking about certain things, but most of the important points related to their privacy are avoided. If they cannot be avoided, they will be blurred.

Therefore, Dumbledore's reply was not beyond Tang Bai's surprise.

"He has never regarded himself as a savior. Now he is just a man who likes to be quiet and live a peaceful life with his wife. This was true when Gellert Grindelwald was raging, and it was also true when Tom Riddle was in power." Dumbledore shook his head again.

.

"I don't have any malicious intentions or ulterior motives." Tang Bai held a warm drink cup in his hand, "I also have no intention of coveting the magic stone that many wizards long for and long for. Even if it gets into my hands,

I just want to deconstruct it and understand its magical composition and refining techniques."

"You should believe this. I don't need to use any magic stone as the main medicine to refine the elixir of immortality, and then I can survive for a hundred years. I have a better substitute that doesn't cost too much.

." When he said this, Tang Bai's eyes moved away from the drink cup and stared at Dumbledore's right hand: "You can believe this, because you have also felt that kind of power.

."

"The Resurrection Stone, as well as the backlash of the black magic on it, cannot be restored by ordinary potions and magic. But it is so magical, it makes your dead palm rejuvenate. To put it bluntly, if not

With my help, you shouldn’t be sitting here with a glowing face and extremely healthy, but you can only count on your fingers how long you can survive.”

"I am very grateful for your help." Dumbledore raised his intact right hand and shook it twice, with a serious face and a sincere tone of thanks.

"No, no, no, I'm not saying this to get your thanks, or to make you feel guilty, and then soft-heartedly agree to my request. I know you can't do it, and I don't need you to do it. Although

We are not the same kind of people, but our credibility and commitment to each other are still very trustworthy." Tang Bai released his right hand holding the cup and waved it, interrupting Dumbledore's next words.

Tang Bai knew very well that he could not let Dumbledore speak anymore, because if he continued what he had said before, it would inevitably involve topics such as remuneration and gratitude. Tang Bai did not say this for the sake of

Ask Dumbledore for something in return.

Although Dumbledore's reward is worth looking forward to, if Tang Bai wanted it, he would have already asked for it when he cured Dumbledore, so why wait until now?

Of course, Tang Bai also admitted that the reason why he didn't ask for it at the time was because he had the intention of making Dumbledore owe a favor. After all, in the current wizarding world, there are only people and people who can make Dumbledore owe a favor.

There are not many things left.

And Dumbledore's reputation, prestige and identity in the wizarding world, in many cases, can even compete with the entire Ministry of Magic in England on his own. To put it bluntly, if Dumbledore is determined to do something

If you want to do something, or want to achieve something, even if the entire Ministry of Magic blocks it, the result of the obstruction will not be too good.

Dumbledore not only has a high reputation, but what supports him to achieve his current status and prestige is his own knowledge and strong strength!

He has defeated Gellert Grindelwald and Tom Riddle Voldemort, two amazingly talented dark wizards. His magical strength is enough for any wizard to look up to!

All wizards in the British wizarding world are afraid of Voldemort. Many wizards, even underage wizards, are under the influence of adults and dare not even call that magical name. They can only refer to that person, the mysterious man.

, or call him by a code name such as Dark Lord.

But it is such a powerful dark wizard who makes many wizards, especially British wizards, change their expressions and fear them. The only person who is afraid of him is the old wizard Deng who looks old and has long since lost his prime.

Bullido!

This alone was enough for Dumbledore to establish a high prestige during that dark period. And the Ministry of Magic at that time was indeed able to fight against Voldemort and Voldemort only with Dumbledore's secret support and backing.

He remained standing despite the ravages of the Death Eaters under his command and did not fall.

Looking at the original work, when Dumbledore was still alive, the resurrected Voldemort still tried his best to carry out some activities in secret. But after Dumbledore died, the comeback of Voldemort and his followers organized Death Eaters, and they became

Unscrupulous.

The Minister of Magic was assassinated.

The entire top management of the Ministry of Magic has fallen.

Even the new Minister of Magic is a puppet controlled by the Imperius Curse.

Hogwarts, which was known as the safest place when Dumbledore was around, even when the Dark Lord was rising and raging, has fallen into turmoil and "war".

The so-called extravagant hopes and deterrent power of the Ministry of Magic are not even as powerful as Dumbledore's alone.

To put it bluntly, the wizarding world is a place where strength is paramount. Different from the Muggle world, the wizarding world pays attention to technology, while the wizarding world pays attention to personal force. Both Voldemort and Dumbledore can be said to be similar to wizards.

exist like nuclear weapons in the world.

If Dumbledore had not been interested in the so-called power of the Ministry of Magic, no one could have stopped him from ascending to the highest level of power in the British Ministry of Magic.

Asking the other party to return the favor is far less useful than making him owe the favor. At least he will turn a blind eye to many things that have nothing to do with his interests.

"I brought that artifact, maybe you can take a look. Maybe with your knowledge, you can provide us with some good suggestions." Tang Bai continued the conversation again without waiting for Dumbledore to speak.
