Chapter 215: Children's words are more likely to break people's defenses
The silent spell of "Legitimate Mind" is hard to defend against, which is why many Harry Potter fan fiction protagonists are hostile to Dumbledore. However, Helena is not one of those prophetic time travelers, and she did not realize that the secrets in her mind were constantly leaking out.

While casting the spell, Lin You continued to bring up topics related to Constantine, because "Legitimate Thoughts" generally captures what the target is currently recalling or thinking about; he needed Helena to constantly recall her meeting with Constantine and the experience of being attacked by the Saint.

Although Helena always avoided talking about it, this deliberate avoidance would have the opposite effect in front of "Legitimate Thoughts"; because she had to constantly recall that experience in order to judge what words could not be said and what words could be revealed.

As long as the other party thinks about it, Lin You will know it.

When the relevant secrets were almost uncovered, Lin You pretended to compromise and said awkwardly: "Some secrets cannot be disclosed casually; I must apply for authorization. If you really want to know, I'm afraid you have to wait patiently for me for a few days."

Count Goff's face showed the willful look that only belongs to children.

For a child under ten years old, no matter how mature and calm he behaves, he will inevitably be regarded by adults as pretending to be an adult; therefore, when Lin You occasionally showed a bit of childishness, Helena took it for granted and even relaxed her vigilance.

"No problem." Under the influence of mental intervention, Helena did not realize that she was too credulous of the child. "It is not easy to find the clues of the Holy Lance. I will also need some time."

"Very good, I will inform you of the results in time, ma'am." Lin You said in a firm tone, summoning the old butler to see the guests off for him; this performance deepened Helena's joy of victory.

As soon as Helena left the manor, Lin You threw a handful of Floo powder into the fireplace and told the old housekeeper, "I have an urgent matter to go to Hogsmeade to visit Professor Dumbledore. It may take a day or two for me to come back. The manor is closed to visitors."

"Yes, young master." Although the old butler was worried, he did not ask any more questions.

However, the old butler did not know that at the same time, although a green light flashed across the public fireplace in Hogsmeade, there was no signal from the young patriarch of the Forrester family.

The moment the flames were lit, Lin You's dimensional gate opened straight to the outskirts of London; Earl Goff went out and looked around, and after making sure that there was no one around, he covered himself with a heavy hooded cloak and walked towards the place in Helena's memory.

Deep in the woods covered with layers of fallen leaves, where there are few people and even no roads, there is actually a small wooden house.

Wooden boards are arranged horizontally and pieced together to form the outer wall of the cabin. Each board has a layer of rough burrs, and gaps of varying widths can be vaguely seen between the boards, which seems to prove that the cabin was built in an extremely hasty process.

Lin You's steps were neither fast nor slow, and his shoes rustled on the dry yellow leaves; his figure finally stopped more than ten feet away from the wooden house, and he refused to move forward even a single step.

After a while, the simple door of the wooden house opened, and a middle-aged white man with a playful face walked out. He was in his early forties, with short blond hair, an unlit filter cigarette in his mouth, and slightly swollen circles under his eyes, making him look older than his actual age; his seemingly lifeless eyes were always staring straight at Lin You.

Lin You's eyes were hidden under his hood, and he was also looking at the other person.

The image of this person comes from the American TV series "Constantine", which is the TV series in which the information fragments of "Giant Beast" were previously stuffed, and finally the God of the Bible and the "Giant Beast" reached a century handshake and successfully replaced the God of the DC world.

Because of God's needs, the story of Constantine, who eventually integrates into the big world, naturally takes this series as the main line. Of course, the series itself has its merits. At least, when the story begins, Constantine is actively staying in a mental hospital for treatment - or self-punishment; this plot is very consistent with Constantine's experience in the comics.

In addition to the "giant beast", the biggest rewrite Lin You made to the story was to move the opening time of the TV series back to the initial time of the comics, that is, 1988 when Constantine's main story began in the comics.

"I didn't expect it would be you, Your Excellency." Constantine smiled with a hint of disbelief. "I thought you would ask your recorders and spies to come, or inform the Ministry of Magic. Even if Dumbledore came in person, I wouldn't be more surprised than I am now."

"It's not surprising that you can guess my identity. After all, there is no other nine-year-old like me in the magic world, and I am not disguised." Lin You pulled down his hood to reveal his true face. "But why are you surprised by my arrival? Didn't you guide Helena to find me?"

"That's because this is the only way I know of to get in touch with the big names in the wizarding world. All the other wizards I know would rather avoid the Ministry of Magic their entire lives." Constantine's helpless tone made it hard to tell how much of it was true and how much was false.

In Constantine's story world, the author and the protagonist of this story have never met directly, so they are complete strangers, and today is their first meeting. However, this first meeting between the two of them somehow exudes a natural familiarity.

"So what did you originally want me, a 'big shot', to do - after you deliberately sent the letter to me through Helena?" Lin You also had an inexplicable tone.

Constantine responded calmly and frankly, "Of course I hope you can pass on the news that the 'Saint' is active again and is looking for the Holy Lance of the Church to the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore as soon as possible; remind them to keep an eye on the first generation Dark Lord."

"By the way, can we get rid of those 'Saints' members who are looking for the Holy Spear and eliminate your competitors?" Lin You asked with a smile.

Constantine frowned. "Shouldn't the whole point be to be vigilant against the return of the Dark Lord? Could it be that you deliberately let the Saint carry out his conspiracy in order not to help me eliminate my competitors? Am I scarier than the Dark Lord and the Saint?"

"In terms of destructive power and potential threats, you are probably on par with them." Lin You analyzed seriously, "In terms of moral character, you may not be as good as them."

Constantine was really depressed to hear such a straightforward personal attack from a little kid.

"Well, I've delivered the message. It's up to you how to deal with it. I don't care! I don't care! It has nothing to do with me!"

Constantine waved his arms, cursed, and turned around to go back to the cabin, but Lin You stopped him with a word.

"Why don't you tell us the details of your encounter with the 'Saint'? Without any clues, how can we help you eliminate your competitors?"

Constantine turned back with an unhappy look on his face and looked Lin You up and down for a long time: "Tell me the truth, boy; are you really only nine years old? I have never seen a child who makes me feel disgusted with just two sentences."

"That's because you have too little experience."
