In the evening, a carriage stopped outside the village.
A white-haired old man walked down from the carriage with a slender cane in his hand.
He wore fine leather shoes, but he still stepped on the muddy ground casually. The mud on the ground was mixed with bird feces, but the old man didn't care.
He walked into the village casually.
It was more like a gathering place than a village. There weren't many families in this place. Normally, there would be a few children playing in a village, but there weren't any here. There were only a few dogs guarding the door. When they saw him, they were so scared that they hid away.
This old man was very dangerous.
But he didn't appear here to scare a few dogs, but to look for a person.
So in the house, as soon as Sirius' voice fell, the drunkenness that had just appeared in Jon's eyes disappeared without a trace.
Someone was coming.
It was an old man that he wasn't familiar with.
As mentioned earlier, there were many families with ancient inheritances in the western magic world, and those people of the Smith family died in the hands of Jon. This matter itself was a secret, but it couldn't be hidden from everyone.
Someone would learn the truth behind the scenes and find him.
But he didn't find him to kill him.
It was too difficult to kill Jon in this situation. It was no less difficult than killing a god in his peak state.
In short, it was impossible.
"What brings you here from afar?"
In order to prevent Sirius and his family from being affected, he chose to come out and meet this old man who came from afar first.
This old man was really very old.
He walked slowly to Jon's side with his cane, and then knocked on the ground with his cane.
A stone stool rose from the ground, neat and new.
The old man sat on it, as if he couldn't support himself, and let out a long breath.
"I came from afar to meet the new leader, of course. Maybe you've heard of me, or maybe you haven't, but it doesn't matter. I'm just an unimportant old man."
"How can an old man who has lived for so long be unimportant?
At least for me, you're very important, "Jon said softly." What's your name? "
"Just call me Rocca. I won't tell you my surname, sir, so as not to bring disaster to the family."
Jon narrowed his eyes.
The old man was indeed not using words to mock him. He was merely stating a fact, because in that instant, Jon had indeed thought of how to deal with this old man and the family behind him.
There were still many powerful people in this world.
It was obvious.
"Actually, I'm not a cruel person. Perhaps, it's just that I haven't been in public for long enough, so people don't understand my habits."
Jon said with a smile.
"But no matter why you're here, I can tell you not to worry. Please rest assured, and the people behind you should also rest assured. As long as everyone stays at home safely, nothing will happen."
"Then Smith and the others …"
"It's nothing. They've just overstepped their boundaries. We're trying to create a new world. If they reach their hands out at this time, they'll be easily infected by the bacteria that haven't settled down in the new world, right?"
His smile was like a spring breeze, at least to himself.
However, the old man, who was sitting not far away from him, only felt cold.
It was bone-piercing cold.
But when you're old, you'll always feel cold, won't you?
"Ahem, we're already very old. We don't want to die like them. Although we can't touch the deepest part of this world, we still want to live safely."
"Who doesn't want to live? It's not a difficult thing. I've never said that I want to deprive anyone of their right to live. Some people want to build their own world, such as Voldemort, who's wreaking havoc. He wants to clean up all the things in this world that are in his way, but this idea is obviously unrealistic. Compared to this world, he's still too weak. "
"Yes, we know that he's weak, so no one has ever taken him seriously. Who would care about the activities of a clown?"
The old man said breathlessly, "But after asking around and mobilizing so many forces, we finally know what you're going to do. Is this really realistic?
Transforming Muggle into a Wizard is a little against our status, so I'm only here to ask you on behalf of these old farts. What exactly is this situation?
Of course, if you don't want to say it, as the new powerhouses of this world, we know that we can't interfere with any of your decisions. But I think we still have the right to know, so I'm here to ask for your mercy on behalf of us who are about to die of old age. "
"Why bother? Even if you don't know, how will it affect you?"
"Please forgive this old man's last bit of hope. We've been used to controlling everything in our lives. Whenever something out of our control happens, we'll always feel uneasy. This uneasy feeling will always affect our lifespan."
The old man's humble pleas were always hard to refuse.
"Alright, I can tell you how this plan works. I'll let someone tell you the details of the plan. I can also give you an address. When the time comes, you can go there to find the person."
Jon wasn't worried that these people would affect his plan at all, because they couldn't. Indeed, they had a very ancient power, inherited an ancient family, and had extraordinary influence in the entire magic world. However, they were too weak. Jon could completely eliminate them from this world. Not to mention, there was still Dumbledore, Grindvall, and Helga.
These people couldn't do it.
They had just lived for too long. But if there was anything else, it was as if these people had lived for too long, so they had used up all their luck and didn't have the chance to advance to the next realm.
"Go back and tell them that I'm not the kind of person who will sacrifice many people for the future. Since I've chosen to use some methods to bring this change within the borders of the United Kingdom, it means that I don't intend to sacrifice a generation in exchange for a better life. To me, there's no difference whether I change or not. Even if it's a thankless thing, I'll still do it.
What I want is a better world. For this, I have more than enough heart and power. "
