253. The people behind the scenes
From hiding in the bathroom to Sulbert, then asking him about the secret of Snake Word, then going to Hogsmeade to collect information, and getting valuable information from Daniel's mother-in-law. Finally, I returned to Hogwarts to find Ms. Gray, and by chance I got the [Scepter]...Linn spent about an hour telling Dumbledore about his experience in the past three weeks.
Dumbledore was undoubtedly a good listener. He had helped to save three cups of tea and replenish the dessert. Lynn's story was finished, and he also had a full burp.
"Rose Daniel, you can believe what she said, since she predicted that the entrance to the treasure land was in Hogwarts, it must be here, but the way you were looking for was wrong."
Lin En heard the meaning of Lao Deng's words: "Do you know this person too?"
As soon as he asked, he knew that he had asked nonsense. He was introduced to him by Abuforth, but he didn't know his brother without reason.
"Of course I know her." Dumbledore crossed his hands, with a faint smile on his face. "She used to be in the same class as me when she was in school at Hogwarts, but she was in Ravenclaw and I was in Gryffindor."
"Then why...why do she know so much?" Lynn's voice hesitated, because this question involved someone else's **, and he didn't know whether he should ask.
But Dumbledore had no intention of hiding it from Lynn.
"For she is like your uncle, a natural prophet, that is, a prophet."
"Prophet? Then why did she work as a breeder at the Owl Post Office?"
"This is her own problem, and it has nothing to do with us." Dumbledore shook his head, not telling whether he didn't want to say it or did not know about it.
"As for you got the [Scepter]..." Dumbledore picked up the magic book Lynn placed on the table, and did not look at the spell recorded before, but turned directly to the page where the [Scepter] was stored. "This is indeed something I could not have imagined. It has been hidden in Hogwarts for nearly a thousand years, but no one has found it, including me."
Lynn raised his eyebrows: "Have you tried to find it?"
"That happened a long time ago. I had just been a professor of transformation class, and then I heard about the [Scepter] thing, but in the end I did not pass the test left by the relics of the Big Three." Dumbledore's voice seemed a little regretful.
"Which one has not passed?" Lynn was very curious about this.
"The bronze eagle at the entrance of the Ravenclaw common room." He said melancholy, "it asked a question that I would never answer in my life."
Lin En didn't ask too much about this, nor did he ask. The problems that had been entangled in Lao Deng's life can only come from two aspects, one was his dead sister, and the other was his beloved who was defeated by him.
How could this greatest principal of Hogwarts ever fail to complete the test left by the Big Three? He just doesn't want to face something anymore.
"Then do you know what this [scepter] is useful?" Lynn was not changing the subject, he was really curious about the use of this alchemy instrument.
Dumbledore seemed very interested in this.
"It is of course very useful. As far as I know, this thing is enough to be called the greatest alchemy creation ever in the magic world, but it has never been truly used by anyone."

"What exactly does it do?"
"I only know part of it's function, for example, it can command the entire castle after it is fully activated." Dumbledore said casually, "You should also find that this castle is not simple. It is not that you can become the owner of the castle by just having the title of principal, but that you can only obtain the title of principal by becoming the owner of the castle."
"But Slytherin left no test, and this [scepter] will never be able to activate it?"
"There is no absolute thing. Since it is not possible to be activated, why did the three Gryffindors still keep it?" Dumbledore said with a smile, "And after you get it, you can take over my shift with justice. You are now the designated heir to Hogwarts."
Lynn curled his lips disdainfully: "Is the welfare of being the principal of Hogwarts good? Not only is it open all year round, but there is no year-end bonus."
Old Deng smiled. He rarely showed a childish side when he saw Lin En: "Okay, please put this thing away. After these things are finished, we should talk about the serious business."
When talking about the serious matters, both of them became serious.
"Since the person hiding behind the scenes can control Thubert, it means that he can control others too." Dumbledore said with a frown.
"I have beaten the Basilisk half to death. Even if the person behind the scenes wants it to come out and commit the crime, at least Hogwarts is safe for the time being before Christmas, and it may not be necessary after that." Lynn also analyzed the current situation.
"After being transferred from the secret room, the basil monster hid in the treasure house that the fairy once built in Hogsmeade. The nest of the mastermind behind the scenes is most likely to be in this place. This is the only clue we have now. In addition, the fact that the basil monster took the initiative to attack me today also exposed many doubts.
First, why did he order the basil monster to attack me? Even if he discovered that I was pretending to be Professor Lockhart, I also have the blood of a wizard. The basil monster is a tool left by Slytherin to clean up Hogwarts. It must have a way to tell whether a wizard is purely blood. According to the purpose of the secret room being established and the creation of the basil monster, it is completely unreasonable to attack me.
Second, why can something that rescues the snake monster use Phantom Transit in the castle? There is a strong anti-phantom Transit spell against wizards in Hogwarts. Even if you are powerful as professor, you can't manifest the phantom in the castle. In other words, the thing that takes away the snake monster is either a powerful wizard who can break through the anti-phantom Transit spell, or it is not a wizard but another magical creature, such as a house elves?
Third, that is, from the second question, is the master behind him right in Hogwarts? If he is not in Hogwarts, how did he enter the castle? And how could he be sure to take the situation into his own hands? And if he is in Hogwarts, what kind of identity does he play? Is it a student, a professor or something else?"
