Chapter 80: Chapter 80: The Secret Keeper of rowle Manor
At this time, Dumbledore recalled the conversation between Green and him in the office last summer vacation.
"Mr. Dumbledore, my teacher hopes that you can hand over the Philosopher's Stone to Lynn on his behalf after the matter this year is over, as a gift from an elder."
Green said to Dumbledore calmly.
Dumbledore was a little surprised and asked, "Is this what Nicolas meant? But didn't he agree to destroy the Philosopher's Stone before?!"
Green nodded slightly and said, "But the teacher met Lynn, you know, the first-year child in Slytherin, my student. He believes that the Philosopher's Stone itself is not sinful, and he also hopes to witness the growth of Lynn."
"Besides, I think Lynn needs the Philosopher's Stone as a beacon on his alchemical path..."
...
"I think you need it, don't you?"
Dumbledore was thinking a lot, and he said with a smile.
Lynn was silent. He did not expect that his master would choose to give him the Philosopher's Stone.
Yes, as his teacher said, he needed this Philosopher's Stone.
With enough magic power source, many things that he could not do can be solved perfectly.
According to Lynn's own magic power growth rate, he had to wait until his fourth grade to learn to refine alchemy array without carving knife, and wait until his fifth grade to condense alchemy array in the void, just like Green did on Halloween last year.
But with the Philosopher's Stone as energy, Lynn can now learn these profound alchemy skills.
At this time, some people may feel confused. With the alchemy gloves refined by Lynn and Lynn's own body, can't they bear the huge magic power of the Philosopher's Stone? Even the spell cannot be cast continuously, let alone the alchemy that requires a lot of time and energy?!
You know, Lynn can control the rate of drawing magic power from the Philosopher's Stone by himself, and the reason why he reached the carrying limit in the previous battle was that Lynn did not dare to be arrogant in the face of Voldemort, a former demon king-level wizard.
Only by going all out to fight Voldemort can Lynn have a chance to defeat him, and this makes Lynn desperate to obtain the magic power of the Philosopher's Stone.
Fighting for life is like this, but it is not necessary for alchemy in daily life!
Lynn can just get the magic power he needs, which is beneficial to Lynn.
Lynn understood this, he reached out to pick up the Philosopher's Stone and put it away again.
"But, Professor, there is still one thing I can't figure out."
Lynn looked directly at Professor Dumbledore.
Professor Dumbledore gestured, "You say it."
Lynn said bluntly, "I think, Professor, you should understand my origin. My father was a Death Eater. Professor, are you really confident that a descendant of a Death Eater can get such a precious thing as the Philosopher's Stone?! What if all this is just a play directed and performed by Voldemort and I?!"
Hearing Lynn's words, Dumbledore laughed out loud.
Dumbledore laughed so hard that he almost cried. After a while, Dumbledore stopped laughing.
Dumbledore looked at Lynn and said seriously, "You know, Lynn, I never doubt you! Because... your father was never a Death Eater!"
Lynn was a little unbelievable. His father was not a Death Eater?!
How is that possible?!
Lynn believed that everyone would deceive him, but his mother would not. It was certain that his father was a Death Eater. Even the Death Eater camp in the Daily Prophet more than a decade ago had his father in it.
But now, Dumbledore said that his father was not a Death Eater, which made Lynn very puzzled.
"Perhaps, you have wondered who set the Fidelius Charm at Rowle Manor and who the secret keeper was," Dumbledore said so.
Lynn nodded secretly. He was not surprised that Dumbledore knew about his family's situation, and what Dumbledore said was indeed what he had wondered about.
"But in fact, Lynn, I am the secret keeper!"
Dumbledore's understated words set off a storm in Lynn's heart.
Dumbledore looked at Lynn sincerely and continued, "The reason why I said your father is not a Death Eater is that your father has never sincerely submitted to Voldemort. He is a member of the Order of the Phoenix, which I founded to fight against Voldemort!"
Hearing this, a possibility flashed through Lynn's mind, and he felt that this idea was really crazy.
However, Dumbledore seemed to see what Lynn was thinking. He nodded and said, "Yes, your father, Hendry Rowle, is an undercover arranged by the Order of the Phoenix to join the Death Eaters. During the days of fighting Voldemort, your father Hendry provided a lot of intelligence to the Order of the Phoenix, which enabled us to successfully prevent Voldemort's many actions and saved many of our friends from death..."
It turns out that Hendry Rowle is a member of the Order of the Phoenix!
Thinking back to the previous things, Lynn felt that everything made sense.
Yes, considering the Weasley family's hatred for Voldemort and the Death Eaters, it is impossible for Mrs. Weasley to be so friendly to him as the son of a Death Eater, even if she has the Weasley twins as friends.
After all, Mrs. Weasley didn't have a good face even for Fleur, her daughter-in-law, and this was only because of her half-blood veela identity.
If his father was actually a member of the Order of the Phoenix and a former comrade-in-arms of the Weasleys, then it would make sense that Mrs. Weasley cared about him so much and even sewed a piece of clothing for him at Christmas!
"So my father's death was because his undercover identity was exposed?"
Lynn asked.
Dumbledore shook his head: "I don't know. We only received this letter before Hendry was killed by Voldemort."
As he spoke, Dumbledore handed a completely yellowed parchment to Lynn.
Lynn looked at the envelope, which had only one sentence written on it.
"Regulus Black found me and wanted to take me to a place where there were weapons that could defeat Voldemort..."
Lynn understood after seeing this sentence.
It seems that his father went to the cave where Voldemort stored the Horcrux with Regulus Black and took away the Horcrux.
Regulus died, and his father left with the Horcrux, but his father's abnormality was discovered by Voldemort, which led to his father's death.
But... where is the Horcrux that was taken away?
Is it still stored in Black's ancestral home?
Lynn was a little confused.
"So, your father Hendry has never been a sinner, but a great hero, a hero standing in the dark! And you, Lynn, Hendry's only child, naturally will not be the descendant of a Death Eater. Remember, you are the descendant of a hero!"
Dumbledore's half-moon glasses flashed, and he said to Lynn very seriously.
If the Death Eaters led by Voldemort are the darkness of the wizarding world, then Hendry Rowle, who is in the darkness, is a crack in that darkness. However, everything has cracks, and that is where the light comes in!
