this infinite world

Chapter 431 Elementary my dear friends

——He really does hold a grudge.

This was Yang Yun's first thought after hearing Chu Xuan's words. After all, in the original world line, this most powerful wise man had never been very ambitious.After being threatened by Adam with the Continental Shelf Oscillator, he changed hands and developed the Magic Cannon day and night, using it as the final strategic weapon of the Central Continent Team. For this ugly cannon, he even teamed up with Zheng Zha was thinking about the extremely charming skeleton war horse...

So what Chu Xuan is doing now, in Yang Yun's opinion, is that after being questioned by Grindelwald from the aspect of magic, he must use a method different from magic to get back the situation, so that the people in front of him can realize that it is not only magic that can find Voldemort. An ordinary person without magic can also do it with their intelligence... Although this "ordinary person's intelligence" is actually not ordinary at all.

"...I have been waiting for nearly 100 years and I don't care about waiting a little longer."

In just a few seconds when Yang Yun and Chu Xuan communicated in the spiritual link, Dumbledore made a decision. There seemed to be reluctance in his eyes, but in the end it turned into determination: "You are right, Tom It’s been hidden long enough.”

"He is an unstable factor, and finding out where he is hiding is our top priority."

"Good, it seems we have reached a consensus again."

Yang Yun nodded and said according to Chu Xuan's words. Of course, Chu Xuan's words were not so humane. He slightly optimized his tone and said: "Then Principal Dumbledore, may I ask you what happened when Voldemort disappeared?" What methods have you used to find traces of him during this period of time?"

"Almost every way."

Hearing Yang Yun mention this matter, Dumbledore also sighed. He rubbed his forehead and said tiredly: "We have used all known methods and magic to try to find traces of Tom. The modern demon Curses, ancient curses, white magic, black magic, even blood magic... Gellert and I don't know how much magic was used on the layer of skin he shed, but we couldn't find even a trace of it. It’s as if his entire body has completely disappeared from this world along with the shed skin.”

"I see."

Yang Yun nodded. He had naturally heard from the Hogwarts principal in front of him about what happened to Dumbledore and Voldemort in Azkaban after the Central Continent team returned to the main god space. He even went there in person. After seeing the "relics" left by Voldemort... I have to say that the dark wizard who "went further on the road to immortality than anyone else" has successfully turned himself into an inhuman existence.

"Then Principal Dumbledore, you must have tried prophecy methods?" Yang Yun continued to ask.

If it is under ordinary circumstances, then the method of "prophecy" can almost be equated with seeking medical attention in a hurry.But in this world full of magic, prophecy is a practical method.

"Of course I tried it."

The answer this time was Grindelwald, who had an unhappy face. He replied in a dull tone: "Nothing, either."

Yang Yun asked tentatively: "Is it through the prophecy of Professor Sybill Trelawney? With all due respect, even though she is the divination professor at Hogwarts, she is still Cassandra Trelawney She is a great-great-granddaughter, but she does not seem to have inherited the full bloodline power of this true prophet. In most cases, the predictions she makes are greatly deviated from the facts..."

At this moment, even though Dumbledore looked worried, a smile seemed to flash across his face.In response, Grindelwald's face suddenly became ugly, and he said in a hard tone: "It was not Sybill Trelawney who made the prophecy... but me."

"Sorry, Mr. Grindelwald."

Yang Yun apologized in a tone that didn't sound too sincere: "I didn't know that you were trying to trace Voldemort's traces through prophecy."

"Boy, what do you mean?"

Grindelwald was also a proud man. He couldn't stand Yang Yun's flirtatious tone. He even wanted to get angry again: "Do you think I'm not as good as that guy named Sybill Trelawney? I can Let me tell you, if I can’t find out the truth through prophecy, then no one else in the world can!”

"I understand. No one understands the value of a prophet better than Mr. Grindelwald."

Yang Yun brushed the topic aside, but what he was going to say next was the focus: "So you two, by what means do you think Voldemort used to escape so many magical detections, and even the most mysterious prophecies?" Even with magic, you can't find any clues about him?" "Boy, you really still doubt my ability to predict!"

After hearing Yang Yun's words, Grindelwald immediately raised his eyebrows and was about to get angry.Although Yang Yun did not say it explicitly, the implication behind his words was that he did not trust his prophetic ability. For a prophet who successfully predicted the occurrence of World War II, comparing him with Sybill Trelawney The comparison is an insult...

"No, wait, Gellert, he's right. Even in Tom's heyday, it was impossible for him to go without revealing his whereabouts under so many magical searches."

But on the contrary, Dumbledore stopped Grindelwald with a solemn expression. The greatest white wizard in the twentieth century frowned and said: "You mean that all methods have failed to work. Does it represent something?”

Yang Yun nodded and said: "Yes, first of all, you can try to put yourself in someone else's shoes. If I were Voldemort, would I leave the UK?"

"impossible."

Whether it was Dumbledore or Grindelwald, they came up with this answer in an instant: "He is just dormant temporarily, not running away with his tail between his legs. He will never leave this land... His followers and sphere of influence are all here." .”

"Then, the problem is actually very simple. Compared to the fact that Voldemort suddenly obtained a powerful magical item that can cover his entire whereabouts, I am more inclined to believe that he is in an extremely special place, which allows him to ignore all magic. search."

Yang Yun smiled and said: "So, what do you two think is there in the UK that meets the corresponding conditions?"

"Hogwarts? No, no way."

Dumbledore thought of the castle at his feet almost instantly, but he rejected this guess the next moment: "I am the principal of Hogwarts. Regarding this castle that has been protected by powerful magic for thousands of years, Even Tom couldn't have entered quietly, otherwise he wouldn't have had to trick Severus into stealing the crown for him in the first place..."

"Godric's Hollow? The vault of Gringotts? The old homes of pure-blood families? St. Mungo's Hospital of Witchcraft and Wizardry?"

One location after another was constantly proposed and excluded by the two, until finally, a location appeared in their minds at the same time.

"Only the Department of Mysteries at the Ministry of Magic."

Dumbledore murmured: "The most dangerous place is the safest place. Only the Department of Mysteries can withstand so many magical detections, and Tom has always been interested in everything there, and even specially Developing August Rookwood into a Death Eater... I should have thought of that."

"It's very possible. Even I can't think of more possibilities."

Grindelwald was a man of action. He had stood up and was ready to go. But when he saw Yang Yun, who was still sitting there, he couldn't help but think of something, and his expression became complicated again.

But in the end, Grindelwald's curiosity got the upper hand, and the magic master, who was also about a hundred years old, asked firmly: "I didn't expect that you actually deduced Voldemort's most likely hiding place in a few words... …Is this some kind of special magic from Wandering Sea?”

"Magic? No, it's not magic."

Yang Yun smiled and answered Grindelwald's question with a classic line from Sherlock Holmes.

"Elementary, my dear friends." (This is the most basic reasoning, my friend)
