The reason why he came here so late was that Dumbledore was also a little conflicted.
In the time they spent together, Dumbledore had a rough idea of what kind of person Jon was.
Although this little guy was young, he was very meticulous and was very good at using the favorable conditions around him as a bargaining chip for his own profit.
From the beginning, when Jon entered Dumbledore's sight, he used his special relationship with Helga to make Dumbledore give up the idea of controlling him. Dumbledore was very clear about this little guy's style of doing things.
He knew that the young man sitting in the chair in front of him and drinking tea slowly was no longer the young man who would agree with whatever he said and not raise any objections.
Whether it was from the perspective of identity or strength, Jon had reached a point where no one could underestimate his existence.
This was of course not a bad thing. After all, Jon was on the same side as him. Dumbledore was naturally very happy when his own side became stronger.
But while he was happy, he also felt a headache when he thought of the trouble Jon brought.
After all, this trouble was not aimed at others, but at him alone.
But he couldn't do anything because Arianna's resurrection still needed Jon's help. As long as this matter existed, he would not show any other thoughts to Jon, even if he didn't have any other thoughts.
"Long time no see."
"It has indeed been a long time, but things didn't go as smoothly as I thought. Principal, you don't seem to have had a good time recently."
Jon simply stated the facts. He didn't mean to provoke Dumbledore on this kind of thing.
"I just came back not long ago, and so many things have happened at school, so I still want to ask, is the situation out of control? Has it been separated from the perfect plan we made? "
Dumbledore was silent for a while before nodding.
"Indeed, I didn't expect so many things to happen to the Crouch family. So, it's my fault that this matter has developed like this."
"Why do you blame yourself? Principal, you and I both know that this matter is uncontrollable. It has always been a fantasy to completely control the direction of this matter. Even if we started this on the weekend, it was impossible to calculate all the changes. Moreover, in fact, we didn't think this matter was that serious.
Principal, did you forget that our original purpose was not to deal with Voldemort? There are more important things to do. "
"Of course, I didn't forget what our ultimate goal is, but Jon, I …"
Dumbledore didn't continue. Instead, he used a long silence to express what he wanted to say..
If it were others, they might not understand what he was doing, but Jon did.
"Actually, I thought about it from the start. If Teacher Grindelwald was here, so many things wouldn't have happened. The two legendary Wizard would have been enough to deal with all the changes. Moreover, Voldemort's revival was also within our calculations. It was just that he came a little too early and the scene was a little unexpected.
But Grindelwald just had to leave at this time. When I came back, I took note of him. Grindelwald's aura hasn't appeared in Hogwarts for a long time, and Professor Lohat also seems to have disappeared. What are the two of them doing?
Principal, I think you should be able to give me an explanation for this matter. "
"Of course, I can explain it to you."
Dumbledore stared at Jon's face. Behind his glasses, Jon didn't feel that there was anything special in that pair of eyes that were gradually turning cloudy.
It was just a pair of ordinary eyes, but they shouldn't appear on Dumbledore's body.
In Jon's memory, Dumbledore's eyes were always shining. No matter how old his age and appearance were, at least his eyes were always young.
But now, this pair of eyes made Jon feel that Dumbledore was really an ordinary old man.
For some reason, that kind of indomitable light disappeared from Dumbledore's body.
So … it's like this?
A faint guess appeared in his heart, and Dumbledore's words immediately verified his guess.
Because Dumbledore said to him.
"Jon, you know, I'm already very old."
…
Just like what Dumbledore said, with his age, he was considered an extremely old man in the whole world.
In terms of age, Wizard's lifespan was indeed longer than ordinary people, but Dumbledore's age was already a watershed.
Moreover, Dumbledore became a legendary Wizard much earlier than Grindelwald, which led to the fact that after becoming a legendary, the increase in lifespan was already consumed by him. This kind of consumption wasn't a direct consumption, but a method similar to how Jon burned his lifespan.
But compared to Jon's method of burning his lifespan, this method was slower, but the effect was also longer.
So Dumbledore and Grindelwald were both legendary Wizards, but their appearances were different.
But this difference was entirely due to Dumbledore's own problem. If he didn't care about the messy things that happened in the magic world and focused on improving himself, he would be stronger than Grindelwald now, and he would have a longer lifespan.
Unfortunately, Jon also knew what kind of person Dumbledore was. He couldn't ignore the pressure from the surrounding environment, so this pressure became the main element that consumed his extra lifespan.
If there was no way to be the most indifferent to the things around, there was no way to become a person who walked further on the road of magic.
This was a sentence that Jon once heard from Helga.
Because in theory, Helga and Dumbledore were the same kind of people.
They couldn't give up their feelings for the magic world and their friends, and they couldn't ignore their responsibilities and focus on doing one thing.
If it wasn't because she entered that space after dying, and couldn't do anything, Helga wouldn't be where she was today.
She was more or less forced to become a God.
And Dumbledore's situation was even more different.
