From Karma Taj to Hogwarts

Chapter 123 Dumbledore’s Tips

After the little wizards in the auditorium left, Dumbledore took out his wand and "painted" in a quick and easy manner near the professor's seat.

The tip of his wand sprayed out gray-white mist, and at the same time, under the influence of the transformation technique, it gradually condensed into a towering snow mountain in front of everyone's eyes, and a temple stood on the top of the snow mountain.

"Budan," Newt said softly.

"Correct answer, three points for Hufflepuff!" Dumbledore joked.

The little wizard Xiwen happened to walk outside the auditorium at this time. He silently looked back and found that Hufflepuff's scoring hourglass actually dropped three yellow gems...

"This is actually possible..." Ghost Xiwen twitched the corner of his mouth and decided to cause trouble for Dumbledore who was randomly adding points.

He turned to Jacob and said, "Mr. Kowalski, if you don't like the bag of cockroaches that the Slytherin wizard gave you, you can give them to Dumbledore. I guess he will like them very much!"

"Really?" Jacob asked, handing the pile of cockroaches he disliked to Dumbledore in confusion. "Do you really like eating this kind of thing?"

"Oh, thank you, Mr. Kowalski. And of course, Mr. Strange." Dumbledore happily took the bag of cockroaches, stuffed one into his mouth, and chewed it with interest. stand up.

Xiwen: "...I didn't expect you to really like this kind of thing."

After Dumbledore finished eating the pile of cockroaches in his mouth, he continued to talk to everyone present as if nothing had happened.

"The Kingdom of Budan is located high in the eastern Himalayas. It is an indescribably beautiful place, and some of our most important magic originated there. The people of Budan often say that if you listen carefully, the magical knowledge of the past will be revealed. Whisper in your ear.”

Xiwen looked at the temple in the Himalayas with a daze in his eyes.

Himalayas, temples.

They were all words that Xiwen was very familiar with - as if that was where Kama Taj was.

The temples of the Budan Kingdom are very similar in style to the Kama Taj Temple, and the location is also very suitable. At this time, in Xiwen's eyes, this temple seemed to overlap with the place where he had lived for twenty years.

But Xiwen also knew clearly that there was no Ancient One, no Stephen Strange, and no many senior brothers there. Some just have the same long-standing magic inheritance, and there are also completely different magic systems...

When Xiven came back to his senses, he suddenly realized that Dumbledore's speech had come to an end.

"Today, I will forgive you all and stay in my brother Aberforth's Pig's Head pub for one night." Dumbledore said. "Everyone is getting ready, we will face the final battle tomorrow!"

……

As a successful ghost person with his own room in Hogwarts, Sivan did not go to the Pig's Head pub with Dumbledore to spend the night, but stayed in the dungeon room with Helena.

"Helena, do you think we can successfully stop Grindelwald tomorrow?" At this time, Xiven was asking Helena with a frown.

"What's wrong, don't you have confidence?" Helena smiled.

"It's not that I don't have confidence, it's just that I don't know how things will develop." Xiwen shook his head and said distressedly. "Dumbledore didn't tell me anything, he just told me to 'do what I thought needed to be done', but I had no idea what I needed to do!"

"Don't think too much, it may not be the time when you really need to take action." Helena comforted. "Perhaps Dumbledore will give you a new hint tomorrow?"

"I hope so." Xiwen frowned and thought.

silent night...

The next day, everyone came to the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle and gathered in the Room of Requirement.

Today, the Room of Requirement is very empty. There is only a prayer tube engraved with various golden rune patterns placed in the front of the room, and five identical old-fashioned leather suitcases placed in a circle in the center of the room.

Newt's assistant Bundy was already waiting in the Room of Requirement, looking at everyone nervously.

"Newt, come here and take a look at these boxes." Dumbledore waved to Newt and asked. "Can you identify which is your suitcase?"

Newt looked around carefully and shook his head slowly.

"Can't," he said.

"That's good!" Dumbledore said with a smile. "Otherwise I should be worried."

Later, he distributed the tickets for the International Federation of Wizards elections to various members and told them to keep them properly, because without the tickets, they would not be able to enter the final election venue.

"Mr. Strange, I think you can enter the venue without a ticket, right?" After Dumbledore handed out tickets to everyone except Sivan, he looked at Sivan and said with a smile.

"Of course." Xiwen curled his lips and said.

Dumbledore smiled and nodded, walking to the front of the room.

"Okay, everyone, the final part is about to begin!" Dumbledore said solemnly to everyone present. "Now, each person chooses a suitcase and goes through the prayer wheel to Budan."

"Mr. Kowalski, you take the first step with me." Dumbledore said at the end and looked at Jacob.

Jacob was stunned for a moment, nodded, and bent down to pick up the suitcase in front of him.

"Ahem!" However, Dumbledore coughed loudly.

Jacob had no choice but to straighten his bent waist, walked to the box next to him, and looked at Dumbledore.

Dumbledore smiled and nodded.

"Uh, Dumbledore." Sivan suddenly thought of the funny scene when Jacob used the portkey to go to the train, and he couldn't help but laugh. "I think I can directly open a portal to Budan. In this way, Mr. Kowalski will no longer have to endure the pain of portal key transmission."

Jacob showed an obviously moved expression and looked at Dumbledore expectantly.

"No, Mr. Kowalski just comes with me." Dumbledore refused Sivan's proposal without hesitation, as if he didn't see Jacob's eyes.

"In addition, Mr. Strange, I personally recommend that you stay until the end before leaving." After Dumbledore said this, he winked at Sivan.

Xiwen froze on the spot.

After Dumbledore and Jacob left, Newt quickly picked up the suitcase next to him—it was exactly the suitcase that Jacob wanted to choose before, but was blocked by Dumbledore.

Then, Newt walked towards the spinning prayer wheel.

"Everyone, see you Dan!" Newt said. At the same time he touched the prayer tube and left the Room of Requirement.

Afterwards, Theseus and Professor Hicks each picked up a suitcase and left.

Only Sivan and Newt's assistant Bunty were left in the room.

Xiwen looked at this scene and fell into thinking——

What did Dumbledore mean by the look he just gave him? Is it a hint on what he needs to do?
