Chapter 218 The Absurdity of the World
Halloween has passed for a long time, and the festive atmosphere of Hogsmeade village has gradually disappeared. The "ferocious and cute" pumpkin lanterns that were once seen everywhere are now few and far between; the few lanterns that have not been removed are showing signs of drying up and shrinking.

Many stores still offer discounts on Halloween-related products, such as toys and candy, but as time goes by, these efforts are gradually abandoned. Most of the unsold items are probably attributed to expiration losses.

A belated green flame flashed across the communal fireplace; Lord Goff, as he had said, had arrived in the only purely wizarding village in Britain.

When he walked into the Three Broomsticks, his small and frail figure attracted many people's attention. Although it was Saturday, there was a Quidditch match in the school today, so it was impossible to arrange for students to go to Hogsmeade for a walk; and it was already night time, so students should not be here.

Besides, Lin You is really small and doesn’t look like a third-grade kid.

"Child, are you a student of Hogwarts, or not? Are you here with an adult?" A middle-aged woman with a charming demeanor came forward. "It's so late, a good child shouldn't stay outside alone."

"Neither, ma'am." Lin You walked to an empty small round table and sat down. "I have an appointment with Professor Dumbledore to meet here; he will be here soon. Can I have some soda water? I can have less syrup... In fact, it would be better if there is no syrup."

Earl Goff retained many of his living habits from his previous life in the real dimension, which made him often not accustomed to British cuisine.

After hearing Lin You's words, most of the customers in the tavern withdrew their attention; but there were still a few sneaky guys who were secretly observing him, their eyes never leaving the exquisite clothes and accessories on the earl.

Although it was already night, the pub was still crowded and bustling. The rising heat and smoke became the best cover, allowing malicious eyes to become unscrupulous.

Lin You knew this very well; this was just entering the Three Broomsticks. If he entered the Pig's Head Bar, the number of malicious looks would increase exponentially, and there might even be people coming up to watch.

Dumbledore's name cannot scare away all the greed in the world, and the ignorance and fearlessness that come with greed.

"Will Dumbledore come? That's good... I hope he comes soon." The middle-aged woman was skeptical, and it seemed like she was just saying it casually, but also like she was reminding him intentionally. She was the owner of the tavern, so of course she knew that not all the customers in the tavern were good people.

Lin You slapped his forehead and said, "Oops, I forgot, he doesn't know I'm going to meet him yet."

"what?"

"Please forgive me, Ms. Rosmerta." Lin You behaved politely, took out the dark wood wand and waved it in the air; a silver-white snake as thick as an adult's arm suddenly raised its head from the "mist".

"Dumbledore, this is Blaise, I'm at the Three Broomsticks; it's urgent, please come as soon as possible."

As the wand was waved again, the silver snake came out of the window and flew towards the Hogwarts Castle in the distance. When Lin You put down the wand, all the malicious eyes hid; instead, someone shouted loudly, "Beautiful Patronus Charm".

Then there were more whispers in the tavern.

Being able to cast the Patronus Charm silently, even if someone has bad intentions, you can't afford to offend him! Would a wizard with that ability need to resort to sneaky tricks?
"Madame Rosmerta?" Lin You put away his wand and looked at the hostess of the tavern, "I want a glass of soda water."

"Oh, of course." Rosmerta was stunned for only a moment before she came to her senses and went back to the counter to get some water; as she ran a pub in the best wizarding school, she was well-informed and would not be scared by a Patronus Charm - even though the one who cast it was just a child.

The magic world is based on strength, and a Patronus spell gave Lin You the right to occupy a table alone, enjoying the quiet time alone. It's not that he deliberately wanted to show off in front of others, but with Earl Goff's current status and position, no matter how urgent the matter is, he wouldn't run to Hogwarts to knock on the door, right?
Being able to sit and wait in the tavern in Hogsmeade was already giving enough face to Dumbledore, and it also fully demonstrated the importance that the British royal magical adviser attached to the "Saints" organization and Grindelwald.

If you want more face and attention, then that's definitely not available.

With Dumbledore's wisdom, he naturally realized the seriousness of the matter immediately after receiving the message from the patronus; when he walked into the door of the tavern, Lin You had only drunk half of his first glass of soda water.

Dumbledore greeted several acquaintances, and his steps seemed slow, but he actually walked straight to Lin You without stopping. "Mr. Forrester."

"Hello, professor."

"Give me a glass of mead, Madam Rosmerta."

Others could only hear the two people greeting each other and Dumbledore ordering a drink from the tavern hostess, and then no other sound could leave the small round table.

As a result, the bystanders also tactfully looked away, and at the same time secretly sighed that he was worthy of being Professor Dumbledore, the anti-interference spell was cast silently; not only did he not recite the spell, even the casting action was difficult to detect.

Little did they know that Dumbledore also expressed the same sentiment at this moment: "Excellent 'Anti-Interference Spell', Mr. Earl; but it also makes me more worried. Has anything happened? I haven't received any news so far."

"Because so far, the sources of information are very limited; in fact, it is very likely that I have contacted the only source of information. So I have to come here to report it in person. Because there is intelligence showing that the 'Saints' organization is becoming active again."

"Are you sure?" The calm tone of the other party made Dumbledore feel like he was facing a formidable enemy. "Can you tell me more about it?"

Lin You did not answer immediately, but leaned back in his chair and spun the water glass in circles; at this moment, Madam Rosmerta brought Dumbledore's mead.

"Anything else you need, gentlemen?"

"No, thank you, ma'am."

After the hostess of the tavern left, Lin Youcai spoke again: "In the past week, members of the 'Saints' organized to track and attack a Muggle archaeologist. At that time, the archaeologist was looking for clues about the Spear of Longinus; I guess that was also the goal of the 'Saints'."

"They are looking for the holy relics of the Muggle Church?" Dumbledore seemed to be talking to himself. "This is so strange, there is no reason! May I ask where did the Earl get this information from?"

"The victim of the attack was a famous archaeologist, Ms. Helena Shaw; but you may not have heard of her name. However, the other insider is very famous - John Constantine."

"Oh, it's that child." Dumbledore exclaimed.

"As an aside, I heard that Constantine's name was originally on the Hogwarts admission list, but the school refused to accept him?" Lin You asked curiously; this is a story interpreted by the big world, and the writer doesn't know much about it.

"It was Armando's suggestion, but the other teachers agreed or acquiesced." Dumbledore sighed again, "The child was exposed to too much dark magic before he entered school, and he also attacked the professor who came to see him and spoke nonsense; many people believed that he would become a dark wizard."

"Ha, Hogwarts doesn't want to train someone who is destined to become a dark wizard. This school likes good students like Tom Riddle the most."

Lin You couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The student that Armando Dippet liked became Voldemort, who was feared by everyone; and the seed of dark wizards that Hogwarts refused to accept objectively stood at the forefront of the fight against the devil of hell more than once.

The story after the fusion of the worlds is so funny and absurd.
