Chapter 187 Dumbledore's Trust (Third Update)

"Except for a small number of Muggles, most Muggles are actually good, and many wizards' parents are Muggles. If they really killed Muggles and enslaved them like Grindelwald did."

That would not only cause a war between wizards and Muggles, but would also cause many wizards born into Muggle families to side with the Muggles.

The final result was definitely not what Grindelwald imagined; instead, the entire wizarding world was shattered, and countless Muggles and wizards died in the war.

Therefore, we must find a way to stop Grindelwald no matter what.

After telling his story, Dumbledore sighed heavily.

Besides pure-blood wizards and half-blood wizards, there are a considerable number of wizards in the wizarding world whose parents are ordinary Muggles, and Muggles are not as weak as wizards imagine.

The wizarding world has developed in recent years. Unlike in the Middle Ages, when many wizards never went to school, only knew one or two spells, and were easily captured and killed by a few Muggles.

Moreover, powerful spells were not common or widely circulated at that time.

Nowadays, wizards who graduate normally generally know a lot of magic, and most of the magic they want to learn can be bought in bookstores. The average strength of wizards is also much stronger than in the Middle Ages.

But Muggle society is also progressing; the guns, bombs, and various high-tech products they invent can kill wizards if they are not careful.

So even though he disagreed with some of the Ministry of Magic's practices, he ultimately chose to stand with the Ministry and try to defeat Grindelwald first, preventing his extreme ideas from being realized.

"Professor, you and I think the same way, but Grindelwald is too powerful. Without you, it would be difficult for us. To be honest, last time in New York, it was mostly luck."

Grindelwald's arrest wasn't due to the three of us; he simply didn't want to damage his reputation.

So after I came back, I closed the shop and devoted myself to studying magic, hoping that I could be of more help when I met him again.

Li Chuan nodded, looking very much in agreement.

Dumbledore looked at Li Chuan and smiled:

"I heard from Newt that you are physically very strong, but you are lacking in magic. If you are free in the evenings and on weekends, you can come here and I can give you some advice on magic."

He had learned some details about the battle in New York from Newt, and knew that Li Chuan's magical abilities were not that great, but he was physically excellent and had a very high level of combat talent.

Today's conversation confirmed that Li Chuan and he were kindred spirits, so he wouldn't mind taking the time to specifically guide and improve Li Chuan's magic skills.

According to his intelligence, Grindelwald has started making moves in France again, and may soon hold a rally to incite a large number of wizards to form a new force with him.

Only when Li Chuan is stronger can he and Newt go to prevent things from getting worse.

"It would be an honor to receive individual guidance from a professor!"

Upon hearing Dumbledore's words, Li Chuan remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was overjoyed.

He had laid so much groundwork beforehand—the battle with Grindelwald in New York, the adoption of Credence, and the transmission of the same ideas to Newt—and with today's meeting, he had finally gained Dumbledore's trust.

"By the way, Newt told me you adopted a child."

As the meeting was drawing to a close, Dumbledore casually asked a question.

Li Chuan nodded:

"I adopted two, one named Clydes and the other named Tom Riddle. Which one are you referring to, Professor?"

"two?"

Upon hearing Li Chuan's words, Dumbledore was also taken aback. No wonder Newt always said in his letters that the other party was kind-hearted. It seems that adopting Credence really was just a coincidence.

"That kid named Clydes, have you noticed anything wrong with his body?"

"Something's not right? There was, but I've already taken care of it."

Li Chuan thought for a moment, then replied.

Dumbledore was taken aback upon hearing this:

"What do you mean by saying it's already resolved?"

If nothing goes wrong, Credence is quite shrewd; he couldn't even handle this kind of thing, yet Li Chuan claims to have solved it. How could he not be surprised?

Li Chuan looked at Dumbledore with feigned confusion:

"Professor, you seem quite interested in Credence?"

"He might have some connection to our family, but of course we can't be sure yet, and he might be the Momo."

Dumbledore paused for two seconds, then decided to lay it all out.

"What, an Obscurus? Impossible. At X's age, if it were an Obscurus, it should be dead by now."

Upon hearing Dumbledore's words, New York, who had been mostly silent, spoke up in surprise.

As a top magizoologist, how could Newt not know about Obscurus? In fact, he had even encountered it in Africa while traveling in search of magical creatures.

The little girl was eight years old, and if they didn't find a way out, she would die from the powerful magic of the Silent One.

He tried to separate Obscurus from the little girl, but he failed in the end. The little girl died, and he put the Obscurus, who was now only driven by instinct, into the box and took him away.

When Li Chuan first adopted Credence, he had similar doubts, but he dismissed them because of Credence's age.

"It was Momo Ran? I really didn't know that. I always felt that the magic power in his body was very unstable. So I used a special magic that I accidentally discovered when I was looking for herbs in the Albanian forest to stabilize the magic power in his body."

Upon hearing Dumbledore and Newt's words, Li Chuan immediately feigned sudden realization.

"It's still uncertain. If possible, it would be great to bring him along next time we come."

Dumbledore glanced at his brother wiping the glass next to the bar and then said.

Whether Credence is actually his nephew involves Lestrange's past, and he is still sending people to investigate. It cannot be completely confirmed yet, but it is very likely true.

"Of course, I'll bring him over tomorrow."

Li Chuan nodded without hesitation.

Li Chuan had anticipated that Dumbledore might know Credence's identity, and it was also within his plan.

Besides valuing Credence's talent and potential, another reason for adopting him was that he was Dumbledore's nephew, a relationship that could be used to gain Dumbledore's trust.

As for the Four Symbols Seal, it was a ninjutsu he performed using chakra, which is completely different from magic. Even if Dumbledore was incredibly powerful, he couldn't possibly figure it out.
