Chapter 584
"The Bizarre World? The legendary transit station between the human world and the world of the dead?" Dumbledore frowned.
"Yes... After a person dies, they will stay there for a while. Those who accept their own death will go to the world of the dead. Those who cannot accept or fear death will choose to retreat, and then become ghosts..." Black explained briefly.
"We know this. But... how do you get to that place? It sounds extremely dangerous! I have never heard of a living person going to that place... What if..." Dumbledore's face showed a worried look.
Everything about the Bizarre Environment comes from the description of those ghosts, and no living person has ever been to the Bizarre World.
"Since I have a way to temporarily summon the dead from any world, I naturally have a way to enter that place... Besides, I am not going to the world of the dead, I am just going to the transit station to take a look. It is very safe." Black said confidently.
Dumbledore knew Black's character very well. Once he made up his mind, he would definitely do it...
"Okay... just be careful..." Dumbledore could only say this.
"You go to the Twilight Zone, and let me keep the Goblet of Fire for the time being." Grindelwald's eyes flashed with a dangerous light, "The news of re-selecting the champion has been sent out. No matter who lurked in, he will definitely be restless..."
Obviously, Grindelwald was planning to use the Goblet of Fire to fish. If that person wanted to continue his plan, he would definitely find a way to make a fuss about the Goblet of Fire again.
For example, stealing or destroying the Goblet of Fire would be the best way. At that time, the Goblet of Fire could not be used. In order to keep the competition going, the Ministry of Magic and the headmasters had to let the previously selected champions continue to participate in the competition... In that case, his plan could continue.
Black suddenly stared at Grindelwald and asked, "Professor Grindelwald, is your current body... your real body, or the puppet clone I gave you?"
"My real body, of course I use my real body when I come to Hogwarts." Grindelwald said as a matter of course.
"What puppet?" Dumbledore asked.
"Well... I offended the tower much more than you did, so, compared to you, they may want to kill me more, so Black gave me a puppet clone to prevent me from dying suddenly." Grindelwald explained.
"Is that so... Then you do need it, after all, you are so weak." Dumbledore said expressionlessly.
Grindelwald's face darkened, his hand on the handle of the wand, "Do you want to try now to see if I am not weak?"
"Ahem... Professor Grindelwald, calm down... It is precisely because you are now on the kill list of the tower, so the Goblet of Fire cannot be left with you." Black smiled and took the Goblet of Fire from Grindelwald.
"Why?" Grindelwald was stunned.
"Because, the people who sneaked into the school are most likely from the Tower, so when they come to get the Goblet of Fire, they will definitely not hold back against you." Black explained patiently.
"So what? Will I hold back against him?" Grindelwald said dissatisfiedly.
"But... you have seen the power of those people in the Tower. Even that powerful vampire is just a runner. What if the person who comes to cause trouble is stronger than that vampire? So... why not leave it with me? Anyway, I won't enter the Twilight Realm so soon tonight, so I just come here to fish."
"You? If I leave it with you, won't you be in danger?" Grindelwald frowned.
"I won't be in danger, because... I am already a member of the Tower. They won't kill me, their colleague, right?"
"Huh? What!"
Dumbledore was so shocked by this that he stood up directly.
"You said you joined... the Tower? What's going on?" Dumbledore asked in shock.
Black rubbed his ears and physically blocked the system notification sound of the treasure chest he received because of the shock.
Then he answered: "Because I have achieved a lot, they are attracted by my talent, and then they began to use various knowledge as bait to win me over..."
A smile appeared on Black's face, "I have to say that the knowledge they brought out is really interesting. I have a feeling that if they are really willing to disclose all the alchemical knowledge to me, I can even refine the second Philosopher's Stone."
"Black... We can understand that the Tower wants to win you over, but... why do you want to join?" Dumbledore asked worriedly.
Such an organization must be extremely bad in nature. It is almost needless to think... What kind of bird can do such a thing as helping Voldemort resurrect? He was worried that Black would be corrupted by power or knowledge...
"Old fool, you are really confused. Black wants to go in undercover. Does he really want to join?" Grindelwald said disdainfully. He certainly knew what Dumbledore was worried about, but Black's own organization was already very powerful, so why would he join other organizations?
"Professor, I do want to get into the tower... Otherwise, what we come into contact with will always be just the tip of the iceberg of this organization... But if I can get inside, there is a way to break through from the inside!"
Dumbledore looked at the portraits hanging on the wall over there. Fortunately, in order to keep the conversation confidential, the sound of the conversation here has been blocked. Otherwise, such confidential words should not be heard even by those paintings, because it is absolutely related to Black's life and death!
"Don't worry, I know my limits." Black reassured Dumbledore.
Black was also helpless. Dumbledore always forgot how powerful he was, so he was always worried about going to too dangerous places or doing too dangerous things...
However, in fact, those places that are dangerous places for others are just like shopping for Black.
The worst result is that Black's identity is exposed, and then he kills all the living things he sees in the tower. Then he loses the opportunity to eradicate the roots. As for the worry about his life, it is basically non-existent.
"Put this Goblet of Fire here with me. Besides, everyone knows that I have taken the Goblet of Fire to repair it. It is reasonable to put it here. Putting it with you will arouse suspicion."
Hearing Black's words, Dumbledore and Grindelwald had no reason to object.
"As for Harry... we don't know if they still have plans for him, so protection is indispensable." Black said.
"I'll ask the professors to help watch him, and let the monitoring room pay more attention to him. However, if we protect him too blatantly, he may feel uncomfortable..." Dumbledore frowned and said.
"How about letting Dobby follow and protect Harry quietly? I didn't get the equipment I gave him last time." Black smiled.
"Good idea!" Dumbledore's eyes lit up, "The magic of the elves is actually very unique. Besides, the elves following him quietly will not make him feel uncomfortable."
After the three of them discussed it, Black was ready to go back. However, before Black left, Dumbledore and Grindelwald still told Black that they hoped to use the portal to summon them all when the enemy attacked! They didn't want Black to face the enemy alone.
...
"Swish..."
Black stepped on the snow in the courtyard and walked towards his tower.
However, his footsteps stopped under the tower.
Because he smelled a very strange smell...a smell that ordinary people could never smell.
If his body had not been strengthened, he would not be able to smell this smell. Moreover, this smell seems to have an impact on the soul!
With a thought, Blake took out the tower ring that had been stored in the system warehouse. Sure enough, at the moment of taking it out, a faint blue light flashed from the tower ring.
Blake sensed that under the blessing of this strange smell, the brainwashing power of the tower ring was enhanced many times...
"So that's it..." Blake's mouth corners slightly raised.
It seems that the person who came must have known that he joined the tower.
The tower ring was supposed to slowly affect Blake's soul, a kind of subtle brainwashing. However, under the stimulation of this smell, the intensity of brainwashing was greatly enhanced. If it was not Blake who wore the ring, but someone else, he would not be able to last even a minute and would completely become a fanatical believer loyal to the tower.
In that case, things would be simple. Blake, who was loyal to the tower, would definitely cooperate with the tower's plan! With Blake as the "inside man", the second re-selection,I will continue to follow the script of the tower!
It must be said that this kind of thing that can directly emit a smell that affects the soul must be very precious. Otherwise, Dracula should have used it when he gave him the ring. Why use it now?
Using it now, isn't it because he has been forced to a certain extent and wants to solve this matter with the greatest benefit?
Otherwise, this person can only steal the Goblet of Fire or destroy it after controlling Blake.
In that case, even if the warrior selection will not change, it will arouse everyone's vigilance. In the long run, it is not conducive to that person to do small actions in secret.
In comparison, quietly "taming" yourself directly is the most cost-effective method!
Blake looked at the tower ring on his hand, and then put it on. Anyway, the power of brainwashing will be offset by the Supreme Ring hidden by Blake, so what is he afraid of?
"I want to see... who you are..."
Black pretended not to notice anything unusual, and walked straight up the tower with the Goblet of Fire.
The door of the office was open. There was already an uninvited guest inside.
It was a girl, a girl wearing a Durmstrang school uniform. She sat in the shadows, making it difficult to see her face.
However, this cover was useless to Black. The girl's face was clearly exposed in front of Black.
This was a girl with an ordinary appearance. She was the kind of ordinary that you could never find in a crowd.
However, Black guessed that this was not her true appearance, because he also saw traces of human body deformation.
Black looked at the girl in surprise, then frowned and asked, "Who are you? A student of Durmstrang? But you shouldn't be here, right? Are you lost?"
The girl walked out of the shadows and slowly raised her right hand. On the middle finger of her right hand, she wore a ring inlaid with a red gem.
Black clearly felt that the blue gem ring in his hand was trying to convey the consciousness of submission and fear to him.
That is to say...
Black sighed helplessly in his heart, and then began to pretend to be very panic, "Who... who are you? Why... why do I suddenly feel that I should obey your orders?"
Black's acting skills are also full, and he enters the state very quickly. At the beginning, even Voldemort was fooled by him like this.
The girl finally spoke, her voice was crisp and pleasant, but it gave people a feeling of arrogance and indifference.
"Of course you should obey my orders, because I am your superior, Mr. Green... I am a core member of the tower, you must cooperate with my actions."
The girl slowly approached Blake, she looked at the sweaty but still hunched over standing there with a little surprise.Blake.
"You are really amazing, Mr. Green...You have a very strong mind. If it were someone else, they would have already kneeled in front of me. No wonder Mr. Tepesh keeps saying good things about you in front of me." The girl said in an appreciative tone.
Blake sneered in his heart. He still wants me to kneel before you? Are you kidding me?
"I don't understand..." Blake continued with a "fearful" look on his face: "Mr. Tepesh said that the Tower is just an academic organization..."
"That's just the surface, Mr. Green...Since you have fully joined, then...I will naturally reveal to you the true greatness of the Tower."
"I am looking forward to it..." Blake said with anticipation.
The girl said gently: "I will show you, but...not now. I have limited time, you need to cooperate with my actions first."
"What actions?" Blake asked.
"You don't need to know the details. You just need to know what you need to do." The girl's tone returned to arrogance and indifference.
"What do I need to do?" Black asked.
"Don't repair the Goblet of Fire. Moreover, you have to find a way to deceive your teacher Nicolas Flamel and make him think that you have repaired the Goblet of Fire. Moreover, you must let Harry Potter be selected!" The girl said in an imperative tone.
"Can I ask why?"
"No. You just need to do it. I think this shouldn't be difficult for you...if your alchemy achievement is true."
"Okay..."
"Then I'll leave first. After the re-selection of warriors is completed, I will give you the next instructions. I hope you won't let me down."
"Can you tell me your name?"
"Phil Thompson."
After the girl finished speaking, her body instantly turned into black mist and dissipated on the spot.
I have to say, this is really amazing. This is in Hogwarts! She can actually use magic similar to Apparition in Hogwarts!
After repeatedly confirming that the girl had completely left, Black changed from a panicked look to his original appearance.
He had wanted to take action directly, but he realized that this might be a good opportunity to really get into the tower... maybe he should make good use of it!
Black closed the door and sat on the chair to think.
Since she chose to appear in this image... and she was the last one to come out in the Durmstrang team... Obviously, she didn't want to attract anyone's attention. She didn't intend to snatch Krum's position as a champion.
But she chose Angelina to be selected... Why?
Black's eyes suddenly lit up. Perhaps, she wanted to find a way to replace Angelina's identity after the champion selection was completed! Just like Barty Jr. replaced Moody in the original book!
Angelina is from Gryffindor, and so is Harry. And Cedric is from Hufflepuff. So...The champion of Hogwarts must be from Gryffindor, so that it is easier to get close to Harry! As for whether the champion of Gryffindor is Angelina, it is actually not important. Because her goal has always been Harry Potter Five! .
