A large number of memories flashed back in Dumbledore's mind, forcing him to concentrate completely.
After all, I am far from proficient in the spell Legilimency, I can only call it proficient.
If he misses some key points, he may overlook something important.
Because of this, he could only follow the man's thoughts and go back bit by bit from recent events to past events.
Finally, he knew this man's name - Joshua Gilbert.
He is an aristocratic wizard born in Durmstrang. Although he is not the heir to the family, he has also learned many special magics very well. It was during school that he met Grindelwald, was influenced by him, and silently began to study some rare and weird witchcraft.
At the beginning, his role was more that Grindelwald wanted to explore the mystery contained in weird magic.
Later, I didn't expect that after Acolytes was established, his existence would become an advantage.
Because in his magic, except for some magic habits, there are few other places that can instantly remind people of Germany's magic school. This aspect provides him with great concealment.
For this reason, he usually takes on the identity of a wandering wizard and then enters Muggle World, trying to explore the affairs of Wizarding World from the perspective of Muggle.
The trip to Britain was his first time as a leader. He did not expect that with just one proactive action, he would be exposed directly under the nose of Dumbledore.
Should we say that Dumbledore has a keen sense, or should we say that he is unlucky?
From his memory, Dumbledore found the general traces of several other infiltrated wizards, and it was not difficult to deal with them this time.
And when Dumbledore was searching for memories, he also accidentally saw the way he and Grindelwald were talking happily together. They were still very young at that time, and no matter how you looked at it, their relationship was very good.
Seeing this, he ended his magic.
I fell into deep thought and nostalgia for a while.
How did they get to this point?
Oh, by the way, Gellert was a very dazzling being when he was young. As a genius who hated mediocrity, he was a complete replica of Dumbledore, only more arrogant and decisive.
At that time, they often argued over Magical Theory, but after the argument, they would study together about the future of Wizarding World.
As a genius who has awakened his prophetic ability, he has always lost confidence in the future of Wizarding World prematurely. He wants to change everything so that destiny does not develop into that desperate place.
At that time, Dumbledore still couldn't understand it, but out of trust in his friends, he still planned to overthrow "International Statute of Secrecy" with Grindelwald. Their policy was for wizards to rule Muggle. Later, because Grindelwald foresaw some great Muggle, he changed some things.
"There are also people among Albus and Muggle who are absolutely powerful in thought. Therefore, it is also an inappropriate choice to let stupid wizards rule the excellent Muggle... so--"
"I think it's better for the strong to rule the weak. Whether it's a wizard or Muggle, as long as you are strong enough, you are qualified to stand on the top of the world!"
This thought shocked him for a long time. After all, the many wizard educations he had received told him that Muggle itself was a weak existence.
Or because of his trust in Grindelwald, he chose to accept this matter.
The real problem arises because... is because...
Albus recalls the past painfully.
Yes, the real break was due to the death of sister Ariana.
He and Gellert were always busy exploring the mysteries of magic and ignored their sister's problems. Aberforth was better, but still didn't do enough.
It was only after Ariana became Obscurus and almost died that he regretted it.
At that time, the conflict between him and Aberforth arose, but in order to treat his sister, they were thinking of other ways.
Gellert At that time, I also stopped because of myself and started to look for a solution with him.
It was also at that time that they found the legendary Elder Wand, and a lot of magic that was almost lost.
I thought everything would be fine, but who could have imagined that once because of Aberforth's dissatisfaction and the depression of not achieving results for a long time, they broke out into the most intense battle in history.
Different from usual practice, they really started fighting.
At that moment, Ariana came running over. She mistakenly thought they were fighting, and when she wanted to break up the fight, she was hit by a Charms shot.
Due to accidental injury and some problems with her body, the injury suddenly broke out, and by the time she was sent to St. Mungo's, there was no way to save her.
This incident completely broke up the three of them.
It was also at that time that Dumbledore discovered the magic of love. Because he did not give his sister enough love, she had such a result.
In other words, if I could give my sister enough love and support, nothing would have happened.
This thought is like a thorn that keeps growing in my mind.
But Gellert seems to have gone to the other extreme. He thinks it is the result of his weak strength. If he could be stronger, would he be able to solve Ariana's problems and everything would not happen.
It is also because of this that Acolytes was truly born, and a terrorist organization was formed.
Dumbledore's contemplation and depression made Joshua mistakenly believe that an opportunity was coming. He kept moving his body, trying to touch his wand.
But accidentally, he fell to the ground.
"Bang!" interrupted all Dumbledore's thoughts.
Dumbledore gathered his thoughts together, and then looked at Joshua.
He sighed, "I won't kill you, I will hand you over to Ministry of Magic, and then send you to Azkaban. The crime is also very simple, destroying International Statute of Secrecy..."
Then, he grabbed the man and the wand, "Apparition!"
Then he came outside Ministry of Magic, walked in through various mechanisms, and then handed him over to Auror.
After that, he left quickly, and not long after, another wizard was brought over. After a while, Auror's prison contained five wizards, including Joshua...
Finally everything was sorted out.
Just like Grindelwald actually intended to avoid Britain, his aggression or rule has not yet extended to Britain, giving Dumbledore enough respect.
And Dumbledore did not directly kill these Acolytes.
It was as if they had some kind of tacit understanding, transmitting information in this way, or waiting for the final battle.
After the matter regarding the wizard was settled, Dumbledore took away the leader of Black Snake Gang.
Just like the wizard handed over to Ministry of Magic, he handed the criminal over to the police station, but erased all memories of the wizard.
After finishing everything, he remembered an interesting place.
Whether it was Joshua or Black Snake Gang, they all had an interesting orphanage in their memories, which aroused his curiosity.
But when I looked at the time, I saw that he had classes in the morning, so I could only leave this curiosity for next time.
