Days wandering around Hogwarts

Chapter 502 White Wolf with Empty Gloves

In the wizarding world, strength is directly proportional to status.

Voldemort gave Grindelwald face because Grindelwald had proven himself in history.

But asking him to toast Charles was like slapping him in the face with the cold sole of a shoe.

Charles saw Voldemort's murderous look, sneered, and said, "It will be easier for us to kill you than to pull out the cork of a wine bottle."

Voldemort's face darkened, and he said coldly: "Charles, don't think you can look down on me just because you are a little clever."

Charles smiled disdainfully, took a sip of wine, and said lightly: "How about we fight one-on-one when you recover?"

"It's very simple. I'll let you go first, and then I'll receive a Killing Curse from you, and then you'll receive a Killing Curse from me. Let's see who dies first."

Grindelwald said with interest, "I can be the referee."

Voldemort remained silent.

Charles targeted his weakness: fear of death.

Voldemort created several Horcruxes to avoid being killed because he was afraid of death.

If it weren't for these Horcruxes, he would have been killed by Harry.

Voldemort didn't dare to gamble, especially when the Horcrux was exposed by itself. Maybe Charles could really find a way to kill him.

In this way, Charles was superior to Voldemort in momentum.

Charles no longer looked at Voldemort, but just talked to Grindelwald about famous wizards from all over the world and asked if he could introduce them to someone.

Grindelwald asked in confusion: "What do you want to do?"

Charles answered seriously: "I want to make a big magic model."

Then he repeated in more detail what he had said to Harry earlier.

Grindelwald listened carefully and asked again and again about the parts he didn't understand until he thought he understood.

Voldemort was drinking alone at first, but he was soon attracted by Charles' plan and began to think seriously about it.

Jack drank his wine with a smile on his face. He was very clear about his own positioning: he was an excellent engineer, but it was a bit difficult for him to do theoretical research.

Now that Charles is causing trouble, he naturally has to help.

Grindelwald thought for a moment and said, "What you are going to make is just a tool, but it is undeniable that it is an epoch-making and groundbreaking tool."

"This tool is not very useful for ordinary wizards, but it can be of great help to wizards conducting various researches. It can reduce many wrong options and even find shortcuts."

Voldemort also nodded slightly.

Grindelwald continued, "But, there is a serious problem with it."

"This thing requires a lot of pre-existing knowledge to work, and knowledge is valuable."

Charles nodded. This was the biggest problem he faced.

He wants to make a magic artificial intelligence model, and the database is an important component. If the data is insufficient, it will not be able to make a judgment, such as confusing "squirrel mandarin fish" with "squirrel pomfret". If the data is contaminated, wrong conclusions will appear. For example, if you ask how many years it takes to go through the twelve zodiac signs, the answer is 13.5 years, because the Year of the Rooster takes two and a half years.

Now his own knowledge reserves are seriously insufficient, and he can only recruit people from everywhere to join him.

As Grindelwald said, knowledge is precious, and no one is willing to give away their knowledge easily. Even if Dumbledore kidnapped Grindelwald, he would not give away his knowledge without reservation.

Charles looked at Grindelwald, intending to convince him to help, but he reminded himself of this, which meant he definitely wouldn't help.

Grindelwald saw what Charles was thinking, but he wasn't so selfless as to give up his livelihood.

However, he thought that if this thing could be made useful to wizards, he said, "If Durmstrang's library has not moved, I can tell you a secret passage."

Anyway, Durmstrang had fired him back then, and he knew what kind of person Liles was. Based on his style, he wouldn't do anything extreme.

Charles raised his glass to him and said, "Karkaroff is the one who did all the bad things anyway."

Now that Karkaroff has been arrested, if his accomplices who have not yet been arrested do something, people will not be surprised. Instead, they will think that he must have some conspiracy, such as destroying some evidence.

Karkaroff is a Death Eater, so this matter must be related to his leadership.

Voldemort watched as a cauldron was about to be placed on his head, and wondered whether he should report it to the Aurors.
Aurors often come to Azkaban to interrogate Death Eaters these days, so this is a good opportunity.

He noticed that Charles was looking at him with a strange curve at the corner of his mouth.

Charles smiled and said, "Professor, if you are willing to contribute your knowledge, I can exchange it with what you need most."

He took out a roll of parchment from his bag and continued, "This is magic that can restore your body."

For a moment, Voldemort was unsure of what Dumbledore was doing. Did he really just want his magical knowledge, or was Dumbledore secretly trying to trip him up?

Charles saw that he was hesitating, so he said, "If you are worried, we can make an unbreakable vow."

Voldemort would be lying if he said he wasn't worried, but recovering his body was the priority and other things could be put aside.

But there are dangers too. What if there is a trap?

Grindelwald held out his hand to Charles, who handed him the parchment.

"Yes," Grindelwald nodded, "I swear on the honor of my love (very quietly), this magic can indeed restore your body, and it has no side effects. You can immediately regain your previous strength."

"If you agree, I can serve as a witness."

His golden sign made Voldemort feel at ease. After all, they could call Dumbledore right now without having to do so many tricks.

An hour later, Charles left Azkaban with a wine bottle filled with bright silver steam. Voldemort looked at the beginning of the parchment, "The Bones of My Father, the Flesh of My Servant, and the Blood of My Enemy," in silence.

Charles was very happy when he returned to Hogwarts. It was not easy to get Voldemort's knowledge for nothing. There would not be such a good opportunity in the future.

Moreover, strict wording was used in the oath to prevent Voldemort from playing tricks, while also promising not to hand it over to Dumbledore.

The next question is how to get this knowledge into the database. Fortunately, the database has not yet been started and even no new folders have been created, so it can be designed from the beginning to be compatible with various information interfaces.

When Charles returned to Hogwarts Castle, Dumbledore appeared with a curious look on his face.

Dumbledore handed Charles a letter and said, "Kodostoriz wants to see you and asks you to go over."

Charles took the letter with some confusion, wondering what they wanted to see him about.

He took out the letter and laughed after reading it, then said to Dumbledore, "Professor, it looks like I'll have to take some time off."
