Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

Chapter 294: Someone's Business in the Return Match

"Professor, eliminate all the impossible, and whatever remains, no matter how unbelievable it is, is the truth."

Seeing that Dumbledore still didn't speak, Sainz continued, "Professor, you have to admit that the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts is indeed a bit cursed!"

"You shouldn't doubt him!" Dumbledore stood up with a gloomy face, "Moody has been fighting against darkness all his life!"

"Professor, I admire your attitude of defending your friend, and I also admire your kindness in not giving up on a person easily. At the same time, I also respect your willingness to discuss issues with a young wizard calmly. But professor, I still have to say that as a decision maker, it is not a good habit to act on impulse."

Old Deng stared at Sainz with bright eyes and listened to him calmly.

"Professor, perhaps you didn't pursue the matter further because you didn't want to suspect your friend. Maybe you will feel better after reading this." Sainz took out a newspaper and threw it to him.

Old Dumbledore looked down at the top page of the report, which was a report of Mad-Eye's attack. On the night before the first day of school at Hogwarts, Moody stated that he was ambushed by a trash can, and the Muggle police saw the trash can spraying garbage. Later, it was Mr. Weasley who helped to deal with the aftermath.

Of course, the newspaper report was not so detailed. It only mentioned that Mad-Eye was attacked and then ridiculed him for being neurotic.

Because of Mad-Eye's suspicious character, he often suspects that he is being attacked. This report may not seem strange at ordinary times, because it is the nth time, but when combined with certain clues and looking back, it becomes very interesting.

Old Dumbledore's expression really improved a lot. "You mean... you suspect Moody is being controlled by someone?"

"It's not impossible, Professor.

Otherwise, as you said, many problems are hard to figure out. "

"Maybe someone else?"

"Who do you suspect?" Sainz threw the question back, "You must know them better than I do, or do you suspect me?

I won't deny that I went to see the Goblet of Fire, and I think I can cheat it."

Dumbledore said nothing, and seemed absorbed in reading his newspaper.

"Professor, I've said too much at once. Maybe you can't accept it. How about we talk about it next time?" Sainz drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, stood up and walked out.

"Sainz, you haven't told me your long-term plans yet."

"You want to hear it?"

"There is a way that doesn't require me to use my own brain, why not learn about it."

"Okay, professor, for long-term planning, there are two options. One is to take advantage of the situation, catch the troublemaker and control him, and then catch the big fish according to his plan."

"What big fish?"

"Hey, Professor, this is boring. Who else could be the big fish related to Harry Potter?"

"Sorry, I didn't react for a moment.

What about the other way you mentioned?"

"The other way is to stay put, regardless of whether the person is caught or not. Since he wants to use the Triwizard Tournament to make a fuss, just keep paying attention to the tournament. He will definitely do something in a certain tournament, so you just need to wait and see."

"If it were you, what would you choose?" Dumbledore put down the newspaper in his hand and asked casually.

"Me? You know me. I always like to plan before I act. I don't like passive defense. I like to take the initiative in my own hands."

"You seem to be in favor of finding the man immediately?"

"more than!

Not only do you need to find the person, you also need to find out everything about him. You can't fix things according to his plan, but you should arrange another plan for him that he has to follow."

Dumbledore picked up the newspaper again.

Sainz said goodbye and left.

Sai was secretly complaining in his heart that old Dumbledore was a bit pedantic on this point. He was somewhat suspicious of Moody, but this was contrary to his consistent view of giving the greatest degree of trust to the members of the Order of the Phoenix, which made him very undecided.

Perhaps it was true as Sainz said, he never considered other reasons why Moody might betray him, or maybe he felt that Moody was strong enough, so he subconsciously ignored the possibility that he was controlled by others.

But after Sainz showed the newspaper to Old Deng, his complexion did look much better.

Suddenly, he thought of another possibility. Perhaps all of Old Deng's behaviors were just for show, just to test and determine whether Sai had a motive to commit the crime.

Indeed, from Old Deng's perspective, a young upstart with top magic skills is more worthy of suspicion than an old friend he has known for decades.

"Forget it, maybe Sai is just judging others by his own standards!"

Sainz smiled indifferently, "No matter what choice Old Deng makes, I have already contributed my strength, which can't be said to be inaction!"

Sainz decided that from now on this year, as long as Old Deng didn't come to ask, he would no longer offer advice.

His life goal has always been to learn and master more magic and enjoy the decadent life of a wizard. The savior is just a passer-by in his life.

At this stage, the savior was no longer an indispensable figure to him. The reason why he rushed to offer advice to Old Deng was just to repay the favor of the savior's family and to make his children's life happier.

Including Cedric, although they are not close friends, they are classmates after all. We can't just watch him die. We just need to give him a hand at the critical moment, and let him do whatever he wants in normal times.

As for the other people involved in this incident, including the real Moody and old Barty Crouch who were controlled, old Dumbledore didn't care. He just wanted them to die!

He has already put almost indicative evidence in front of Old Deng. If he still lets things go on as they are, Sainz will have nothing to say.

After figuring this out, Sai suddenly felt relieved.

"It was a close call. I almost got involved in mundane matters. Compared to running around to save people, it's not as fun as renovating someone's magic ship."

Thinking of this, Sainz quickly came to the Room of Requirement and continued his daily work of expanding the space cabinet and replicating the meditation basin.

The bases of the Gublai Fairy Fire have been made in sufficient quantities, even exceeding the previously planned 6,000, reaching 8,000, which is more than enough to drive his own yacht and have some spare.

The original installed power of his yacht was 1.2 horsepower, and the power of each fairy fire was equivalent to 2 horsepower. Now he has made 1.6 bases, which is equivalent to horsepower. After installation, it will definitely be more powerful than before. Of course, it must be strengthened in advance before installation.

It would take some effort to fully strengthen a giant weighing nearly eight thousand tons. He was currently using his spare time to work on it, so there was no rush.

There are two main focuses of work now. One is to expand the space cabinet to ensure that by this time next year, both the botanical garden and the zoo can be fully accommodated.

Another is to replicate the Pensieve, with the initial goal of making one of your own.

The mid-term goal is to create a small enough meditation bowl, or "meditation chip".

After completion, it will be directly implanted into the skull, and then all the images seen can be retrieved anytime and anywhere, achieving a disguised photographic memory.

By then, Sai will be able to put the entire library into his "head". That was his ambition when he first entered school.

The long-term goal is to separate the meditation basin from the material carrier and build it directly with the tangible and intangible "silver smoke". At that time, it can be built directly in the mind. Without the material carrier, it will no longer be at risk of being lost.

Science predicts that by then it can directly surpass material computers, biological computers, and even light computers and optical quantum computers, becoming a "thinking computer" with even more powerful processing power!

Because the speed of thinking can exceed the speed of light!

Just thinking about it makes me excited!
