Through the pensieve, Westphal witnessed what happened after he fell into coma from Dumbledore's perspective.
I also understood why Professor Dumbledore became what he is today.
The top people in the wizarding world believe that if Dumbledore wants to stop Grindelwald, he must break the blood oath between them.
Only in this way can Dumbledore cast a spell on Grindelwald.
However, it is not.
The blood oath is an oath that two people swear never to betray.
Dumbledore did not intend to betray Grindelwald, but to save Grindelwald.
This way Dumbledore can cast a spell on Grindelwald without breaking the blood oath.
But even so, this is the most obvious function of the blood oath - two people will never betray each other.
The deeper purpose of the blood oath is to connect two people who are not related by blood.
In other words, in the face of divination, curses, prophecies, and even destiny magic.
By activating the blood oath through a special method, Dumbledore and Grindelwald can be regarded as the same person.
And Professor Dumbledore now connects his fate with that of Grindelwald through a blood oath.
However, he alone bears the fate of both of them.
Especially when it had just suffered a heavy blow, its eyes would not and could not be focused on Dumbledore.
Therefore, Dumbledore was able to maintain his fate for a long time with the help of Nico Flamel.
Even so, the passive backlash and consumption of fate made Dumbledore miserable.
In the end, I had to choose to enter a state of suspended animation to minimize backlash and consumption.
As for why Dumbledore did this, it was because this was Grindelwald's rare "free" opportunity.
With his magical attainments and strategic vision, he can deploy backup in unexpected places.
Every time he identified a place, he cast a forgetting spell to delete the memory.
As for what exactly Grindelwald did, there is no relevant content in Dumbledore's memory.
Skip this paragraph.
The last thing in my memory was Dumbledore sitting on the ground, speaking one-sidedly to the air in front of him.
In the words, Professor Dumbledore told Sifani where Newt was nearby and what he needed to do to meet Newt...

"Perhaps, after this holiday, we will be separated again."
As a subordinate of Western France, Cassandra's magic-rich blood is one of the most suitable catalysts for smelting materials for drawing magic patterns.
In addition, her soul aura also changed into the shape of Xifa.
Her job is to inject soul into the sword on behalf of Xifa when Xifa leaves the forge to do other things.
It's like a blood test.
So her job is the easiest.
When Xifa just returned to the room, she was the first to discover it.
Naturally, she was also the first to respond to Xifa's desire to go out.
"Why?"
Kassandra made a troubled sound in her mouth, tilted her head slightly, her flowing hair swayed, and her bright eyes stared at Xifa unblinkingly.
She knew that Xifa rarely joked before they joked.
Until this moment, Cassandra still had a trace of expectation in her heart.
However, Xifa's eyes were calm.
Until Cassandra turned around, she saw a trace of loss from the depths of her pupils.
There were subtle waves in his eyes.
After all... I have to be separated from them for a while again!
I heard that Xifa had plans.
The three women stopped what they were doing, and finally ended with Elise waving her magic wand.
Let the flames on the forging platform continuously burn the red sword body.
Maybe Xifa mentioned the difference
, coupled with this special time when Western France has lost the ability to cast spells, it is rare for the three women to unite.
...
It's a bit difficult...
Xifa felt a little flustered in his heart.
In the past, no matter what plans or requests I made.
There will always be someone among the three who will support him unconditionally.
But now.
Xifa straightened his body and sat obediently on the sofa opposite the three girls.
Elise and others, on the other hand, held their hands in front of their chests and accused Xifa angrily.
"As I said, except that I have to stay, both Cassandra and Luna can complete the old man's mission for you."
Probably out of anger, Elise started calling Dumbledore strangely.
"After all, the ruins are not yet certain, and Cassandra's inherited knowledge is enough to deal with those ancient languages."
"Choose a plan. Either you go with Cassandra, or Cassandra and Luna go to complete the mission, and you stay."
Fortunately, the three women still knew that they could not refuse the matter.
Professor Dumbledore must know what is going on in Western France.
If the matter wasn't very important, he wouldn't have arranged for Xifa to go.
It's not so much two options as there is only one.
That is, Xifa must take Cassandra to meet Newt.
Especially after hearing Xifa continue to explain that this may be related to whether his bloodline can be awakened again, and at the same time, he can unlock this damn seal and restore his spellcasting ability.
Elise loosened her arms and her expression was no longer tense.
But she firmly disagreed with Xifa going out alone to take risks.
...
After some debate.
It ended with Elise standing up and leaving the scene.
And Xifa's reason for persuading her was also very simple.
You are not pure ancient dragon bloodline wizards.
If there is a place of inheritance, you will most likely not be able to enter. Even if I take you in, it may be dangerous.
Bang——
The bathroom door at the end of her sight was slammed shut by Elise.
Xifa let out a long sigh, relaxed his body, and slumped down on the sofa.
Kassandra wanted to get up and come to comfort Xifa, but Luna gently held her hand.
Xifa, whose eyes were blank, naturally did not notice the small movements of the two people, nor did he notice Luna's entanglement in speaking but not wanting to speak.
After some struggle, Luna decided to speak up and point something out.
"Xifa..."
A soft voice reached my ears.
Xifa, who was making a general plan in his mind, suddenly came back to his senses.
After knowing each other for so many years, Xifa could tell at a glance that Luna had something on her mind.
"There's something you can't tell me yet."
Xifa, who had solved his "worries", smiled slightly, with a contented expression, waved his hands and joked with a smile.
"well--"
Luna sighed with complicated eyes.
Under Xifa's incomprehensible gaze, Luna silently pointed at the corner of parchment exposed in his pocket, and then turned her finger to the bathroom where a faint sound of sobbing could be heard.
"Go and comfort Elise! She actually just doesn't want to see you hurt again."
Kassandra saw Xifa getting up, and she quickly reminded him in a low voice as she was afraid that Xifa would be so ruthless as to disgrace the scenery and leave the place.
However, before Xifa could reply, Luna asked again.
"Xifa, it seems that Cassandra doesn't understand what Elise and I mean just like you."
Luna saw that Xifa still looked puzzled.
She stood up and came to Xifa, raised her head slightly, and cast her gaze into the eyes of the boy with whom she had a high degree of understanding in the past.
From those clear and dark pupils, she didn't see a trace of guilt or avoidance.
It seems that Xifa has made a sincere decision
To be alone, you really don't understand what you want to express.
Reluctantly, she raised her hand and put her hand on Xifa's heart as she had done before to test whether Xifa was lying, and asked softly.
"You said that in the ruins, wizards who are not of pure ancient dragon blood may be in danger, and you used this excuse to block us."
"Then I want to ask for Elise, why can Newt go to the ruins with you?"
Hearing this, Cassandra also reacted.
She puffed up her cheeks, and when she moved again, her fair skin turned slightly red, and her emerald green eyes expressed a strong sense of doubt, looking angry. Weirdly cute.
Xi Jinping was stunned, and then he suddenly slapped his forehead as if he remembered something.
He quickly explained to the two people with straight faces.
"I forgot to tell you, Mr. Newt... He may have Druid blood, I'm not sure about that."
"However, according to Professor Dumbledore, Mr. Newt has a strong affinity for magical animals."
"Let's put it this way, as long as Mr. Newt does not actively harm conscious magical creatures, basically all magical creatures can become friends with him."
...
Ah this...
Upon hearing this explanation, Cassandra and Luna looked at each other.
"Okay! I temporarily accept your excuse."
"You go first to appease Elise who doesn't understand anything. After you come out, Cassandra and I will give you some magic tools for self-defense."
"As far as I know, Newt is not a good bodyguard unless you are a real magical animal."
...
After Luna said those words to herself, Xifa came to the bathroom door alone.
As he got closer, the sobbing sounds that came from time to time in the room became clearer.
Xifa felt a little guilty. In his current situation, he obviously couldn't easily share memory fragments.
After all, there were some oversights in my own dictation.
It was her own negligence that caused Elise to misunderstand herself.
Elise must have been very sad. She used a lame excuse and a firm attitude to reject her good intention to protect herself.
Without knocking, Xifa opened the door gently and walked in.
I saw a spotless corner of the bathroom decorated with various magics.
There was a white-haired girl holding her legs in her arms and crying.
Xifa didn't say anything, he came directly to Elise.
I noticed a familiar breath coming to my side.
Elise's sobbing movements paused slightly, and she raised her head slightly, but she immediately buried it between her legs with anger.
In this situation, Xifa felt as if his heart was gently held by Elise's little hand.
"Feel sorry--"
Xifa dragged Elise's armpits with both hands, lifted her up hard, and then held her tightly in her arms.
"I forgot to tell you, Mr. Newt is naturally close to all kinds of magic..."
The rest of the boy's words remained unspoken.
Because even though the girl didn't raise her head, her soft little hand still accurately blocked Xifa's mouth.
"I know..."
Then you... Xifa was a little helpless, but in this situation, he couldn't push Elise away.
After many years of familiarity, Elise can guess Xifa's general mood just by listening to Xifa's heartbeat and breathing.
"I don't care what excuse you make, I just feel your attitude."
"Then why..."
"Listen to me!" Xifa let go of his hand and quickly interrupted, but the girl raised her pretty face and interrupted his mindless answer.
"I just feel so useless...Every time, you are at the forefront, and every time you are the most seriously injured...How many times, we can only silently pray for you behind the scenes."
"I don't have the luxury to really stand by you
In front of you, but I really want to stand by your side, at least, stand behind you... Well——"
The boy kissed the girl's forehead gently, causing Elise's brain to pause briefly.
"You have always stood by my side! Almost everything I have is obtained by your companionship with me."
"I promise, this is the last time we say goodbye. We will definitely advance and retreat together in the future."
Xifa hugged the girl into his arms and murmured softly but firmly.
"Hmm -" Elise responded in a low voice.
"Besides, you don't stay here just to pray for me this time! If the ruins are fake or the damage inside is too serious, I will have to rely on the sword you forged to cast spells when I return empty-handed."
————————
A room in Nicol Flamel's alchemy workshop.
What caught Xifa's eyes was a large table several meters wide.
There are many completed magic devices placed in the center above, with various such scattered parts scattered around.
Surrounding it are stands that are incompatible with the mechanical atmosphere.
There are all kinds of bottles and cans on it.
The colorful translucent liquid is contained in the container, and there are various small snake and insect-like creatures that move up and down from time to time.
The three girls excitedly introduced the magic device they were tinkering with to Xifa.
What kind of climbing telescopic claw, with the help of magical effects, is small in size and powerful in size, and can easily climb cliffs tens of meters high.
The magical spell revolver, although Cassandra calls it that, is actually a firearm that looks like an ordinary revolver.
However, the bullet is specially made, and Westerners have not yet had time to learn the specific principles. However, the surface of the bullet is engraved with a complex magic pattern structure and traces of the Traceless Expansion Curse.
It is probably what Cassandra said, using black magic to forcibly sacrifice some low-level magical animals, and use their blooming youth to drive various magic spells.
After Cassandra's introduction, she has only mastered some minor magics so far - turning everything into stone, shattering the body into pieces, and unsheathing the blade...
Indeed, these little magic spells can't even penetrate the fire dragon's weak point - its eyes.
But it's enough to deal with ordinary wizards.
After all, it gave Xifa a means of long-range attack.
We can't let Xifa carry Gryffindor's sword to kill people and then be kited, right?
With reference to flying broomsticks, Elise and others also made a pair of simple floating shoes.
The flying speed is very average, comparable to that of an ordinary car, but it is a means after all.
Finally, Sifa wore a watch specially made by Nicolas Flamel.
The hour hand, minute hand and second hand are normal hands under normal circumstances.
But as long as Xifa presses the button on the side, they will stop.
At this time, Xifa only needs to place them at different times, and then gently press back the open watch cover.
The object in the grid with the number represented by the pointer will be taken out.
There is no way, the current Western France cannot use the seamless expansion pocket.
Is there really someone who can take out all kinds of things from it with bare hands?
Can you reach the toilet paper in the toilet at your doorstep without using magic?
Finally, Xifa hugged the three girls goodbye in front of the fireplace in the vice-principal's office.
In the midst of reluctant eyes, Xifa, who had his back to everyone, carried his sword and disappeared into the blazing fire.
As for this heavy scene, only the Sorting Hat, who was half alive, witnessed this scene.
