Chapter 368
("We at Durmstrang do not have this student.")
Seeing the answer on his live stream, Neville, who wanted to learn more about the boy in front of him, sighed.
Let me tell you the truth!
"My name is Neville Lumbaton."
"Lumbaton?" Manstein raised an eyebrow. "Are you kidding me? As a wizard, you should at least know Harry Potter's status."
"On par with Basil Granger, Albus Dumbledore and one of only two choices for the heir to this world."
(Albus Dumbledore: "Could it be that I'm some kind of king in this world too? The Wizard King?")
(Hermione: "As expected, Bucky is just as good no matter where he is.")
"Not only Harry Potter himself, but also his roommates and even his classmates are under everyone's attention."
"Ron Weasley is good at Wizard's Chess and has a crush on Madam Rosmerta of Hogsmeade."
"Seamus Finnigan's spells often explode."
"Neville Lumbaton is an expert in Herbology."
"Dean Thomas loves football, and his supposed Muggle father was also discovered to be an Auror who was killed by Death Eater."
(Dean: "My dad's a wizard?")
(Ron: "The point is, we're celebrities now! I can't believe I'm only just realizing it!")
(Seamus: "The most important thing right now is Neville's safety.")
"So, how stupid you must be to impersonate Neville Lumbaton, a man everyone knows."
"They don't even take Polyjuice Potion."
"The only thing worth praising is that your spoken English is quite good."
"Because," Neville took a deep breath, deciding to tell the truth, "I am Neville Lumbaton. It's just that I come from another world."
Manstein blinked his azure eyes.
Neville felt a 'field' enveloping him.
"You actually weren't lying." Manstein his head to look back. "Albus, what do you think?"
It was as if a curtain had been lifted from the air, Dumbledore emerged from it, bathed in light.
He did not use Apparition, nor did he use the Phoenix's method of traversing space; this was merely a glimpse of the World Tree and the magical energy of light that Basil possessed.
He embraced this power rooted in the goodness of the human heart, the positive aspect of the universe, and merged it with his own magic as Archmage.
Neville, who possessed the [Magic Ring] and the [White Magic] Heart, was quite surprised. He had only ever 'smelled' this kind of magic on Champion.
But what surprised him most was that Albus Dumbledore was a red-haired youth in this world.
(Albus Dumbledore: "Is this me?")
(Percival Dumbledore: "My son is a scoundrel who lays hands on his students?")
(Gellert Grindelwald: "Uncle, this man might be me in disguise. Albus isn't that kind of person.")
(Candle Dumbledore: "Pearl [a term of endearment for her husband], Albus is our finest child. He is not the scoundrel you imagine. Even if he is, this is not him in person, but from another world.")
(Aberforth Dumbledore: "Mother, don't be fooled by Saint Dumbledore. He'll pretend to be someone else in your presence! And your best child is Ariana!")
"You have seen this power." Dumbledore said, gathering the power of light in his hand, in an unquestionable tone.
"Balala Energy," Neville said. "That's what it's called in our world."
"Bagil?" Dumbledore pondered. "Basil? He is the creator of this energy in our world, and even of this space that contains Hogwarts and Hogsmeade."
"He is of Merlin's blood and possesses King Arthur's holy sword."
"This energy doesn't originate from our world; it originates from a deity from another world— Balala. In our world, Basil is Cosmic Knight," Neville said. "In other worlds, he is the Sun King, a great figure who guided the world into the Star Era."
Dumbledore exclaimed, "I knew I hadn't misjudged him. Ariana is probably the best choice to be with him."
(Hermione's lips twitched with pride. "Ariana Dumbledore?")
(If she hadn't died in this world, she would be an old woman over a hundred years old.)
(Perhaps she looks as young as Dumbledore, but this is blatant adultery, shameless!)
(Phoebe looked at the half of her body connected to her soul. She was ordinary-looking, but after experiencing the transformation in the Rune Card World, she had become exquisite. "Could it be that you in this world are a great beauty? Even I am a little embarrassed by Bucky's words.")
"Is your sister as young as you?" Neville asked hesitantly. Could it be that Dumbledore in this world likes older men dating younger women?
At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief. Manstein looked to be only a second grader and was so handsome, while he, Neville Lumbaton, was already a fifth grader and a 15-year-old old man.
Dumbledore probably wouldn't be interested in him.
His innocence was thus preserved.
Manstein burst out laughing; he could tell that Neville wasn't hiding his thoughts.
"Albus, it seems that you from the other world also like men."
He looked at Neville, "Since Albus told you about the Granger family brat, then I won't hide my identity anymore."
"I am Gellert Grindelwald, Albus's lover. You should have heard of this name before."
"By the way, my current identity is that of a descendant of Dumbledore in Germany. Ariana Dumbledore is my cousin, who just happens to share the same name as Albus's sister."
"Remember not to reveal this."
(Grindelwald looked on with envy. In this world, his relationship with Albus was so close that they could even pretend to be grandfather and grandson and spend time together intimately.)
(Dumbledore's pupils trembled. Was he really this good at playing games in this world?)
"It's fine to expose it; it's not a problem for us now."
"It's just that the resurrection is too bizarre."
(Countless viewers were astonished that the magic in this world could actually bring the dead back to life.)
(Some people who learned about the Deathly Hallows immediately thought of the Resurrection Stone; could it really resurrect life?)
(Voldemort, now holding the Resurrection Stone, raised an eyebrow. The stone in his hand could indeed resurrect life, but like the Voldemort of the past, he could only wield a portion of its power.)
(The resurrected dead are merely projections, but they do possess souls; however, they cannot retain memories of their time in the real world or the world of the dead.)
(In other words, the summoned dead have no memories of the afterlife, only a vague impression, and the memories of the time the dead were summoned in the Human World are also lost.)
(Those in the live stream seemed to have no recollection of being summoned.)
(But they didn't actually stream during the time they were summoned.)
"What?!" Neville's pupils dilated in shock. "Resurrected from the dead?"
Manstein raised an eyebrow. "Why are you so surprised? Judging from your expression earlier, Ariana is clearly still alive in your world."
Dumbledore's smile faded slightly. He had been in such a good mood because he had discovered that his sister from the other world seemed to have been alive all along.
But now.
Neville explained, "Of course she's alive, no, she's practically alive."
Seeing their somber expressions, he quickly added, "She was resurrected as Heroic Spirits during the Triwizard Tournament, like a colorful ghost, like in 'The Haunted Hotel.' But since Phoebe became the ruler of the Sub-dimension, she now has a real body, can eat, can be touched, and can interact with matter in the real world."
Dumbledore sighed, "The ghosts of the Haunted Hotel can eat, be touched, and have contact with real matter. This is simply..."
Neville added, "What I mean is that she has a body that can come together and disperse at will, with real breathing, a heartbeat, and body temperature. It's superior to the body of a living person."
"Is that so?" Dumbledore said after a moment of surprise. "Then it's time to deal with your matter."
"First of all," Manstein, aka Grindelwald, chimed in like a lackey, "Does the Triwizard Tournament refer to the Triwizard Tournament? And what is the Lord of the Sub-dimension?"
Neville: "This all begins with the descent of the Behind-the-Scenes God in the Magic Immortal World."
Grindelwald exclaimed in surprise, "Immortal elves, fairies, Balala, the Guna La Goddess of Darkness, such a great being?"
Dumbledore looked at the World Tree, "The [Tree Realm], a world isolated from the real world, belonging solely to the fairies?"
Neville: "The Rune Card World."
Grindelwald was speechless. "Poor Tom, I almost ended up in a brothel? But a spell card..."
Dumbledore sighed, "Can Tom really get on the right track? It seems I'm not always right."
Neville: "Starry World."
Dumbledore. "Am I in this other world so obsessed with Prophecy? Didn't Gellert teach him how to view Prophecy?"
(Listening to his other self, Dumbledore looked at his hands, "Perhaps I was tainted by Gellert from the beginning, unlike you, who has never changed. But our feelings...")
(Grindelwald, no longer fixated on Prophecy, remarked, "Prophecy is nothing more than a possibility of the future.")
Grindelwald: "So, if I weren't so radical, For the Greater Good might be possible?"
Neville: "In the end, Harry won the Triwizard Tournament, and his wish is that now almost the entire Wizarding World is watching us."
Dumbledore felt a headache coming on; he began to hate himself for being so quick-witted.
He immediately thought of the consequences of his Manstein parents in front of him in another world.
If it were from another world, then so be it.
But before the ancestors of the otherworldly Gellert, Ariana, Aberforth, their parents, and Dumbledore's ancestors...
It's like waking up to find yourself sleeping in your underwear in central London.
Grindelwald waved confidently, "Hello everyone. To my complete stranger, my parents, grandparents."
Dumbledore rubbed his temples. "Well then, Neville, now it's your turn. Tell me, what year do you want to enroll as, and what name do you want to use?"
Neville was surprised. "You believe me just like that?"
Grindelwald clicked his tongue. "Boy, you're too simple, like a blank sheet of paper. You have absolutely no secrets from us."
"And," he pointed to the towering World Tree, "With it there, any wizard who has ill intentions toward this place will be expelled. Otherwise, why do you think all the students are allowed into Hogsmeade on Monday noon?"
"Diagon Alley, the Ministry of Magic has moved here."
(Ron exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, you can even go shopping in Diagon Alley after school! This is just... Thai style!")
(Ginny rolled her eyes at her brother, "Isn't the point that there are only good people in this [Tree World] right now! All they know how to do is play.")
Within the club.
Madison, Zoe, Sophie, Beatrix, Bellatrix, Ariana, Mei were all happily looking through their gifts.
One hour ago.
They had just watched Basil disappear into the portal of light when they saw him walk out again the next second.
Then Basil disappeared, leaving behind a gift and a message that entered his mind.
First, they were surprised to find that their minds could connect to the live streaming platform of the Harry Potter movie world, even in their own world!
The hosts are all living and dead characters from the Harry Potter movie world.
However, as tourists, they cannot speak or participate in the live stream; they can only watch.
Madison, a Harry Potter expert, said that Neville in the live stream looked exactly like Matthew Lewis.
Then her face fell. "Sweetheart, could you be hooking up with that bitch Emma Watson?!"
Zoe comforted her, "Hermione in the movie only has that face; she's not Emma Watson."
Secondly, the information Basil transmitted to their minds explained why he had left temporarily and wasn't going to open inpart immediately. When Basil returned, Mei almost subconsciously logged off, afraid of offending her eyes.
Because the Dream Sea of another world is connected to the Dream Sea of several worlds that he has connected.
He needs to lead the integration.
The stability of [Dream Kingdom] and [Abyss of Sin] is inseparable from him.
Finally, there was the gift in front of them.
Each person receives one [Magic Fiber], as well as a [Magic Immortal Artifact Seed], a [Spirit Enlightenment Ritual Crystal Ball], and a [Lesser Universe Seed].
There are also personal things.
Madison is a wand called the "Soul Messenger," which allows the power of "spirituality" within her to flow like water throughout her soul and body, freeing her from the restrictions of the "Salem Witch" and making her the master of her own soul.
Zoe loves reading, so she was given a fairy tale book containing Andersen's stories. By infusing it with spiritual power, she could materialize the characters and fight for them. Furthermore, she could learn the abilities of the fairy tale characters.
Sophie, who wanted to become a real princess, obtained a "Magic Armor" similar to the Phoebe "Raising Heart," which was a luxurious princess dress.
Beatrix is a magnificent Diadem with dazzling abilities such as enhancing charm, keeping one free from dust, cleansing the body and soul, and radiating light. When worn, it makes one's entire being appear softer and more elegant due to the subtle glow inherent in her "Radiant" talent, making her look even more refined and otherworldly.
Bellatrix is a ring that can Transfiguration when worn. It records her data on vampires in the world, fulfilling her regret of not having diamond-like skin under the sun, and giving her an even more alluring and captivating charm after becoming a vampire.
Ariana is a deck of Summoning Card that includes adorable Fantastic Beasts such as the Phoenix, Fairy, Mooncalf, all of which possess [True Form].
The only one who has no physical relationship with Basil, Mei, is a summoner of a small light armor set.
I forgot to write the chapter title. It was supposed to be Neville telling the truth.
