Build the Traveler Alliance from Scratch

Chapter 267 Dumbledore's Invitation

You cast yourself into the trap, right?

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

Dumbledore coughed lightly, and introduced Lin Zhongtian with a smile: "This is the fourth grader of Slytherin House, Ender Kerr, he was also No.1 in the fourth grade last year, with excellent grades and excellent talent, It's just that the personality is a bit out of gregarious..."

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

"Yes, Professor."

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

"Hogwarts, Ender Kerr, met the old master."

It really is a time traveler!
And he's a Chinese...

The corner of Lin Zhongtian's mouth curled up, and he looked him up and down strangely.

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

Lin Zhongtian chatted with him with a smile, and found that this guy had read "Under One Man", and he was testing the situation of the Eastern wizarding world between the lines, and he seemed very interested in practicing Qi.

After a little thought, Lin Zhongtian turned to look at Dumbledore.

"Old Deng." Lin Zhongtian said with a smile, "Since your students are so interested in our oriental culture, it just so happens that many of our children are also very interested in the West. Why don't we arrange a period of exchange students between the East and the West? How do you feel?"

"Okay!"

Dumbledore's eyes lit up, and he immediately agreed.

Lin Zhongtian turned his head to look at An De, and asked with a smile: "The first batch of exchange students, do you have any recommendations?"

"……me?"

Ender froze for a moment, without thinking too much, and said bluntly: "If I had to recommend it, I can only think of Fana Abbott, she is a second-year student in Ravenclaw, and she also likes oriental culture very much. He learned Chinese by himself in just three days, and his learning ability is much stronger than mine."

"Oh?"

And a windfall?

Lin Zhongtian couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and looked at Dumbledore.

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

Sure enough, looking at the one and a half years of college experience alone, Fana Aibo's resume is much more dazzling than Ender's.

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

Hannah Abbott's twin sister...

Does this girl have any sisters in the original book?

And the twin sister of the twins?

Could it be that there are two or more traversers in this world? !

Lin Zhongtian couldn't help being surprised in his heart, and at the same time felt faintly excited.

Plural levels of traversers mean that it is easier for traversers to travel to 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 trace of direction.

After a little thought, Lin Zhongtian asked again: "Are there any other candidates for recommendation?"

Ender thought for a while and said, "Hermione Granger, a second-year student from Gryffindor College, she is also..."

Very good, it is finally the plot role of the original work!

Lin Zhongtian nodded secretly, not paying attention to what An De said later.

It seems that Hogwarts should only have these two traversers, at least Ender only knows two.

Lin Zhongtian thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Well, Lao Deng, the first batch of exchange students are experimental in nature, and Chinese is more difficult to learn, which is hell difficult for many Western students, or you can decide first. Let's choose two people, you will choose Ender and the Chinese-speaking Fana, and I will also choose two children who can speak English, what do you think?"

Dumbledore thought for a while, then nodded with a smile: "Just do as you say!"

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

"You did a good move just now!" Lin Zhongtian said suddenly, and asked with a smile, "But why did you stop halfway, did you not want to hurt Harry, or did you give way to that 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 his little tricks to be discovered by these two old monsters, and they even pointed it out in front of him.

Dumbledore looked at Lin Zhongtian helplessly, then patted Ender's shoulder, and chuckled under his nervous gaze: "The next time you make a move, remember to be more concealed, it's best to use the Levitating Charm first The sleeves are puffed up so that you won't be seen waving your wand—keep that in mind, I speak from experience!"

As he said that, Dumbledore winked his eyes playfully, and then pulled Lin Zhongtian away from the venue with a smile.

Looking at the backs of the two powerful old monsters leaving, Ender finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then he glanced around to make sure that no one else heard their conversation, and then left in a hurry.

……

……

Returning to Hogwarts Castle, you will be greeted by an empty and vast foyer, with gorgeous crystal chandeliers hanging on the high ceiling, statues and burning torches everywhere on the stone walls.

Walking on the marble floor, Lin Zhongtian was thinking.

Since it was the agreement he made with Dumbledore, naturally it would not be handed over to Huaxia in this world to complete.

He had already decided that when he returned, he would chat with Zhao Lihe and the others, and pick two second-generation students who were interested in magic to come over as exchange students.

As for Fana and Ander who exchanged in the past, of course it depends on the situation to recruit members of the alliance. If they become time travelers in the future, they can also use the name of the exchange students to travel to the heavens and leave school in an open and honest manner.

After a marble staircase, Lin Zhongtian followed Dumbledore to a stone beast statue.

Dumbledore softly said 'lemon ice cream', and the stone beast immediately jumped aside, and the wall behind it also opened, revealing the spiral staircase slowly spiraling 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, old master."

At the end of the spiral staircase, an oak door appeared in front of Lin Zhongtian, and there was a brass knocker in the shape of a griffin on the door.

And the spacious circular room behind the door is Dumbledore's headmaster's office!
Walking into the office, Lin Zhongtian looked at the portraits of past principals hanging on the wall, and finally set his sights on the red feathered bird on a tall gilded branch behind the door.

"Is this your Phoenix Fox?"

Lin Zhongtian looked at Fox with great interest.

The feathers of this phoenix bird are fiery red, but some of the feathers on the back of the body have been lost. Its golden claws are weakly grasping the gilded perch below, and it seems that it is not in a good state of mind.

"That's right." Dumbledore walked up to Fawkes, stroked its head and said softly, "It's a bit of a misfortune for you to come here, and it will be Fawkes' Nirvana Day in a few days, otherwise, you will be able to appreciate its true beauty." It looks like..."

"Is that really a pity?"

Lin Zhongtian expressed regret, and at the same time looked at Fox with piercing eyes.

Although the phoenix in this world does not match the powerful beast in his impression, even so, it is still a rare and precious species, which is very valuable for collection.

Perhaps feeling the interest in Lin Zhongtian's eyes, Fox, who was a little sluggish, suddenly regained his energy.

It quickly flapped its wings and landed on Dumbledore, a pair of bird eyes watching Lin Zhongtian in the room vigilantly.

Dumbledore twitched his mouth and comforted Fox helplessly, then sat behind the desk, looked at Lin Zhongtian and asked, "Master, where are you living now, the embassy, ​​or the Muggle hotel?"

"Embassy, ​​what's the problem?"

"Of course there are problems." Dumbledore said enthusiastically, "After all, the embassy is a place for Muggles, so it's too inconvenient. Why don't you move to Hogwarts for a few days, as we still have a few spare teachers' dormitories. , can arrange for you."

Hearing Dumbledore's warm invitation, Lin Zhongtian said with a smile that was not a smile: "There is an old saying in China, which is to be courteous if you have nothing to do, and you are either a rape or a thief. Old Deng, you are so enthusiastic, don't you want something from me?"

"There really is..."

Dumbledore sighed: "I don't know, Master, have you heard of the legend of the Chamber of Secrets in Slytherin?"

Of course I've heard of it!
Lin Zhongtian thought to himself, but still shook his head, expressing his doubts.

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

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

But later, as Slytherin became more and more at odds with the other three founders, Slytherin decided to leave the school and turned the Chamber of Secrets 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 circulate in Slytherin House and even throughout Hogwarts.

It is said that there is an ancient monster in the Chamber of Secrets, which will kill all Muggle-born students in the school when the Chamber of Secrets is opened...

Dumbledore sighed softly: "A few days ago, Hogwarts administrator Argus Filch's cat 'Mrs. Norris' was petrified. I guess Slytherin's secret room may have been opened again... ..."

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

"No." Dumbledore shook his head and said, "Someone will solve the Chamber of Secrets matter. What I worry about is that if there are victims in the future, someone will use this matter to attack me and persuade the school director to expel me from Hoag Watts..."

"That's why you want to invite us to stay here." Lin Zhongtian said thoughtfully, "In this way, out of diplomatic considerations, it's not easy for the directors of the school to attack you, right?"

Dumbledore smiled.

It really is an old fox!

Lin Zhongtian felt emotional in his heart, then smiled at him and agreed.

　I'm guilty. I was so addicted to Baldur's Gate 3 last night that I almost didn't get up this afternoon, so I only have two changes today, and I will pay back directly with four changes tomorrow.
