"Aside from a small number of Muggles, most Muggles are actually kind. Furthermore, many wizards' parents are Muggles. If we truly kill Muggles and enslave them like Grindelwald wants, then not only will it cause a war between wizards and Muggles, but it will also cause many Muggle-born wizards to side with the Muggles.
The final outcome will absolutely not be what Grindelwald envisions. Instead, the entire wizarding world will be shattered, and countless Muggles and wizards will die in the war.
Therefore, no matter what, we must find a way to stop Grindelwald."
After Dumbledore finished speaking about his own affairs, he sighed heavily.
Besides pure-blood wizards and half-blood wizards, a considerable portion of the wizarding world consists of wizards whose parents are ordinary Muggles, and Muggles are not as weak as wizards imagine.
The wizarding world has been developing over these years, unlike in the Middle Ages when many wizards hadn't even attended school and only knew one or two magic spells. They could easily be captured and killed if surrounded by a few Muggles.
Moreover, there weren't many powerful curses circulating back then.
Today's wizards, as long as they graduate normally, generally know many magic spells, and most magic they want to learn can be bought in bookstores. The average strength of wizards is also much, much stronger than in the Middle Ages.
However, Muggle society is also progressing. The firearms, bombs, and various high-tech products they invent can still kill wizards if they are not careful.
Therefore, even though he did not approve of some of the Ministry of Magic's actions, he ultimately chose to stand with the Ministry of Magic, first finding a way to defeat Grindelwald and prevent his extreme ideas from coming to fruition.
"Professor, you and I share the same thoughts, but Grindelwald's power is too great. Without you, it would be very difficult for us. Honestly, the last time in New York, it was more about luck.
Grindelwald's capture wasn't a defeat at the hands of the three of us; he simply didn't want to affect his reputation.
So after returning, I closed my shop and dedicated myself to studying magic, hoping that the next time I encounter him, I can contribute more."
Li Chuan nodded, a look of strong agreement on his face.
Dumbledore looked at Li Chuan and smiled:
"Newt told me that your body is very strong, but you are still lacking in magic. If you are free in the evenings and on weekends, you can come here, and I can give you some advice on magic."
He had learned some details of the Battle of New York from Newt, knowing that Li Chuan's magic ability was not particularly strong, but his physical attributes were excellent, and he possessed a very high level of combat talent.
And after their conversation today, it confirmed that Li Chuan was on the same side as him, so he naturally didn't mind taking the time to specifically guide and improve Li Chuan's magic level.
It should be known that according to his intelligence, Grindelwald was starting to make moves again in France, and he might hold a gathering soon to incite many wizards to form a new faction with him.
At that time, if Li Chuan's strength was greater, it would be better for him and Newt to go and prevent things from escalating to the worst-case scenario.
"Professor, private guidance? That would truly be my honor!"
Hearing Dumbledore's words, Li Chuan remained outwardly calm, but inwardly, he was overjoyed.
He had laid the groundwork for so long, fighting Grindelwald in the Battle of New York, adopting Credence, conveying the same ideals to Newt, and now, with today's meeting, he had finally gained Dumbledore's trust.
"Oh, by the way, Newt told me you adopted a child."
As today's meeting was about to end, Dumbledore asked casually, feigning disinterest.
Li Chuan nodded:
"I adopted two. The older one is named Credence, and the younger one is named Tom Riddle. Professor, which one are you referring to?"
"Two?"
Hearing Li Chuan's words, Dumbledore couldn't help but be stunned. No wonder Newt's letter always said that the other party was kind-hearted. It seemed that adopting Credence really was just a coincidence.
"The child named Credence. Did you notice anything unusual about his body?"
"Anything unusual? There actually was, but I've already resolved it."
Li Chuan thought for a moment, then replied.
Dumbledore was immediately taken aback upon hearing this:
"What do you mean by 'already resolved'?"
If he wasn't mistaken, Credence was an Obscurus. He couldn't even resolve such a matter, yet Li Chuan claimed to have resolved it, which naturally surprised him.
Li Chuan pretended to look at Dumbledore with some confusion:
"Professor, you seem very concerned about Credence?"
"This... he might have some connection to our family. Of course, it's not confirmed yet, and he might be an Obscurus."
Dumbledore paused for two seconds, then decided to speak frankly.
"What, an Obscurus? Impossible. Given Credence's age, if he were an Obscurus, he should have died long ago."
Hearing Dumbledore's words, Newt, who had barely spoken, opened his mouth in surprise.
As a top Magizoologist, how could Newt not know about Obscurus? Moreover, he had once encountered one in Africa while traveling and searching for magical creatures.
That little girl was eight years old, and at that time, if a solution wasn't found, she would have died from the powerful magic of the Obscurus exploding within her.
He tried to separate the Obscurus from the little girl, but unfortunately, he failed in the end. The little girl died, and he put the Obscurus, which only had instincts left, into a case and took it away.
When Li Chuan first adopted Credence, he also had similar suspicions, but he dismissed them because of Credence's age.
"It's an Obscurus? I really didn't know that. I always felt that the magic in his body was very unstable. So I used a special magic I accidentally discovered while looking for herbs in the Great Forest of Albania to stabilize the magic in his body."
Hearing Dumbledore and Newt's words, Li Chuan immediately showed a look of sudden realization.
"It's still not certain. If possible, it would be great if you could bring him to see me next time you come."
Dumbledore glanced at his brother, who was wiping glasses next to the bar, and then said.
The matter of whether Credence was truly his nephew involved the past of the Lestrange family, and he was still having people investigate. It couldn't be fully confirmed yet, but it was almost certain.
"Of course, I'll bring him tomorrow."
Li Chuan nodded without hesitation.
Li Chuan had long anticipated that Dumbledore might know Credence's identity, and it was also within his plans.
When he adopted Credence, besides valuing his talent and potential, another reason was that he was Dumbledore's nephew, and he could use this relationship to further gain Dumbledore's trust.
As for the Four Symbols Seal, that was a Ninjutsu he performed with Chakra, and it was completely different from magic. Even if Dumbledore was more powerful, he wouldn't be able to see through it.
