The Truthful Lie

Task Eight: Understand what True Lie is, or create one hundred successful lies consecutively without failing.

Note: You will face two of the wisest wizards in the Wizarding World, and you will need to successfully deceive them with lies, as this will determine the success of the resurrection ritual.

Also, pay attention to the time.

Prophecy is the greatest lie.

As Harry looked at the new task appearing on his retina, his initial surprise at his own abilities quickly turned into distress.

"Task 8 seems to have two directions: the former is sudden enlightenment, and the latter is gradual enlightenment through a series of unexposed lies."

The ultimate goal seems to be to understand what True Lie is.

However, judging by this panel, it seems that if I successfully create a hundred lies, I can naturally grasp what constitutes True Lie?

Also, the hint mentions two of the wisest wizards in the Wizarding World.

What I need is to fool both of them.

Hmm. Professor Riddle?

He might not be so bad.

But Voldemort was never a synonym for Wisdom.

Therefore, the name of the second professor is obvious.

Draco was right.

He is Grindelwald.

He is the only one who can rival Dumbledore.

Pay attention to the time?

I understand now; the former direction in the mission is the one I should be heading in.

I had always received subtle attention from Dumbledore at school.

With Grindelwald involved, I might not even be able to fulfill my wish to revive my mother this semester.

Therefore, I'd better find out the True Lie before school starts.

After all, there are a hundred lies, and they have to be continuous and cannot fail.

This is simply impossible to achieve in six days.

"And is the Prophecy that the greatest lie is a hint about True Lie?" Harry pondered.

The sapling of the Contract Tree in the flowerpot seemed to sense Harry's low mood.

It started swaying in Harry's direction.

"I'm fine. I was just thinking about something," Harry replied instinctively.

But the next second, Harry snapped back to reality, his pupils dilating and his jaw seemingly dislocated. "You can understand what I'm saying?"

The sapling nodded.

Meanwhile, Penelope, watching all this from the basement, couldn't help but feel a little curious.

Although the system panel and what Harry was thinking did not actually exist in the real world.

But the Peter Pettigrew projector, powered by Ryan's abilities, projected the contents of the system panel into the air.

Harry's thoughts were also transcribed into text and became subtitles.

Therefore, Penelope's curiosity was not about the sapling's performance, but rather, "What is True Lie?"

Also, Ryan, didn't you say that each of our abilities can actually be developed into an all-around skill?

Why did you let Potter develop in such a one-dimensional direction?

It's not as complicated as you think.

Sometimes the truth is the biggest lie. Ryan didn't say it explicitly, but only hinted at it.

Because in his view, this is indeed easy to understand.

Even if neither of them understood.

The rest will be revealed in the later episodes of "Harry Potter and the Resurrection Stone".

This is the most suitable development direction for Harry Potter.

He himself does not like to lie.

He's just good at it.

To fabricate lies with the truth is in line with Harry's true nature.

Thinking of this, Ryan added, "As for why it's so simple?"

A wizard's energy has its limits.

You have plenty of time.

The best way for an ordinary wizard to develop their abilities is to find a compromise between their talents and their true nature.

It achieves a result where one plus one is greater than two.

Instead of holding each other back.

Harry achieved immortality through his Horcrux with Riddle.

But he desperately needs the ability to cover up his secret preparations for the resurrection ceremony this semester.

Given his limited time, he was arguably even less capable than an ordinary wizard.

So I went straight to the point.

"But can that Potter understand the deeper meaning behind your hint, Ryan?" Kate couldn't help but ask, worried that the "Harry Potter and the Resurrection Stone" program might be canceled because of this.

"Draco Malfoy will help Harry Potter realize this." Ryan smiled mysteriously and then fell silent.

"Draco Malfoy?"

"You brat, what does this have to do with Malfoy! Say something!" Kate and Penelope were naturally very angry about this.

However, Ryan felt great.

He also understood why Dumbledore.

The date was August 28, 1993, after dinner, by the stream in the distance from the Burrow.

"Harry, Harry, do you really know who your second professor is?" Ron's head popped out of the water.

Her long, red hair was wet, like a golden retriever dyed reddish-brown.

Combined with Ron's tongue peeking out from his curiosity and panting, it looked even more like him.

"That professor is Hagrid."

"He's going to train me in the Forbidden Forest —because of my strong physique," Harry said casually.

Although the statement and reasoning are absurd, they convey an undeniable sense of authority.

"I knew it!"

"Draco is wrong, how could it be Grindelwald!" Ron initially believed it.

"Well—that's true, Harry, your physique is indeed extraordinary."

This is indeed an advantage in wizard duels.

"It's not without reason that Hagrid is equally strong, would teach you this." Draco was about to retort, because he knew Hagrid best what kind of person he was.

If he really was Harry's second professor, he would have accidentally revealed it during his last visit.

But as the words were about to come out, he inexplicably forgot all of that and began to analyze Harry's words as if they were irrefutable truths.

He didn't even care about Ron's taunts.

"After all, isn't Voldemort going to be resurrected?"

"This will also enhance Harry's fighting ability." Neville chimed in.

As for Ginny, who wasn't in the water but just had her two fair little feet soaking in it to cool off, she was staring blankly at Harry's bare upper body.

Even if Harry said he was Voldemort at this moment, Ginny would probably nod in agreement.

Harry, however, wasn't particularly happy.

This is yet another lie of his.

It's been two days since Mission Seven started.

In these days, he has discovered that his words possess a magical power to inspire trust.

In order to test him, he told many small lies that, upon closer analysis, revealed some problems but had no serious consequences.

These lies all fooled his friends without exception.

But this only confirmed one thing for Harry.

Based on his current pace, if things continue like this, it might not be until October that the number of lies reaches one hundred.

Moreover, lies require continuity and cannot be exposed in order for him to gradually understand what True Lie is.

Harry wasn't confident about it.

It would be fine if they were lying to Ron.

Harry was confident he could fool Ron for the rest of his life!

But Draco almost came to his senses several times.

This result left Harry feeling down.

Even Ginny's bound feet, which were not far from him, no longer smelled good.
