Today's wizarding world basically thinks that Harry Potter is the savior and the lucky one who survived even though Voldemort personally took action. They even think that Voldemort's death was caused by this child.
Only Dumbledore knew that it was not Harry Potter who led to Voldemort's defeat, but his mother. Lily Potter used her own life to release a great magic called "maternal love", which rebounded Voldemort's spell and protected him. the safety of your own children.
And as long as this magic continues, it will be difficult for Voldemort to harm Harry Potter.
And Dumbledore has been protecting this secret.
Because this magic requires Harry's mother's blood to continue - this is why Dumbledore wants Harry to stay at the Dursley's.
If this secret was leaked, it would probably lead to the Death Eaters targeting the Dursleys - or Harry's aunt Petunia, thus rendering the magic useless.
It's just that Dumbledore fully expected that one day he would hear this speculation from an "outsider" that was almost indistinguishable from the truth.
"...Professor Capet's point of view...is very unique!" Dumbledore pondered for a long time before saying dryly.
He can't say that John guessed it right...
"Is it unique? I don't think so. I'm just analyzing this matter from a more human perspective." John said matter-of-factly, "But why did Professor Dumbledore suddenly ask this?"
Since Dumbledore is determined to keep Harry Potter's secrets, John will naturally not ask for trouble to expose the truth.
"It's like this... After the child's parents passed away, I gave the child to his aunt's family to raise. It's just because Harry's mother and his aunt didn't have a very good relationship, so their family didn't care about the child. It was not very friendly, that is, today, they were reported by a priest in the local community and were taken away by Muggle institutions..." Dumbledore described what happened to Harry Potter and the Dursleys today. He narrated it once, and while narrating it, he looked at John with an inquiring gaze, trying to find any flaw in his expression.
But in the end, he couldn't see anything strange on John's face.
Even when delving deeper, Dumbledore even felt that the person in front of him was not a human being at all, but a majestic Holy Spirit.
This was something Dumbledore had never felt from anyone else.
No wonder the old guys in the church attach so much importance to this young man, who holds such an important position as the deputy head of the Knights of the Doctrine of the Faith at such a young age.
This gave him the urge to use Legilimency to explore the other person's thoughts.
However, as an old fox who has lived for hundreds of years, Dumbledore easily pressed this impulse.
Legilimency is very useful. Even someone like Dumbledore, who is usually extremely restrained, will use it in anxious moments - Dumbledore once used it on the house elf Kreacher in the original book.
It was also suspected of being used against Harry many times.
But obviously, John is not within the range that Dumbledore thinks can use Legilimency.
One is that the matter was not serious enough for Dumbledore to do that.
The other is that he understands that it is best not to use Legilimency casually on church wizards - because many church wizards are quite proficient in Legilimency, and this can be regarded as one of their traditions.
This is not a complimentary definition.
Because this tradition comes from the Inquisition, the predecessor of the Church’s Department of Doctrine of the Faith.
As John said before, the Inquisition did not burn people casually. It was just the secular nobles using the name of the Inquisition to consolidate their rights and status.
But this does not mean that the people of the Inquisition are good people.
At least when facing the torture of heretics, the Inquisition did not have too many scruples in the methods it used.
Torture is the worst way to go.
Why should it be so bloody and violent when something can be done with Legilimency or a bottle of Veritaserum?
So to a certain extent, the most prominent moment of the magic of Legilimency before Voldemort appeared was actually in the Inquisition.
Even in the contemporary era, church personnel have no scruples about Legilimency when it comes to targeting dark creatures and dark wizards - as an existence that exists side by side with the Ministry of Magic, unless there is a direct conflict of interest, the general Ministry of Magic bans, In fact, it is very difficult to affect the extremely special group of church wizards.
Therefore, using Legilimency on church wizards is a very risky thing in itself - because the other party may be much more knowledgeable about this magic than you are.
In fact, John is indeed very proficient in the spell of Legilimency.
However, the reason for proficiency is not the tradition of the Inquisition as Dumbledore speculated, but comes from John's Holy Light profession.
To a certain extent, Legilimency magic is not a traditional magic, but has already involved the soul level.
And in the world of Harry Potter, there are not a few magics involving the soul level.
And each one is a famous and profound magic.
The most famous ones are the three unforgivable curses.
Avatar is erasing from the soul level.
Crucifixion also makes people feel the pain from the soul, but the external manifestation makes this pain look like physical pain.
The soul-stealing curse directly controls the opponent's soul to control the opponent's behavior.
In addition, magic such as the Patronus Spell and the Unbreakable Vow also involve the soul to some extent.
Then there is the "maternal love" magic that Lily Potter used before she died - in John's view, this is very similar to the holy intervention of the Paladin, and it is also a magic on the soul level.
In the game, Holy Intervention means that the Paladin sacrifices his own life to impose a three-minute invincible state on his teammates. In this state, teammates are completely immune to any physical and spell damage, and are out of combat, but unable to act. During Holy Intervention, they are The interference target will no longer be attacked by monsters.
But when this skill is converted into reality, it becomes the Paladin sacrificing his soul and applying a blessing to the casting target. The casting target is completely immune to any damage that does not exceed the boundaries of the Paladin's soul for three minutes, and for a period of time , eliminate the presence of the spellcasting target in the mind of the hater.
Isn't it very similar to Harry Potter's situation?
So John has reason to believe that the so-called "maternal love" blessing that Lily Potter gave Harry is actually a magical version of "divine intervention"!
And from skills such as "Divine Intervention", we can actually see how deeply the Holy Light profession has studied the soul-level abilities - Lily Potter's "maternal love" is an exception that is almost impossible to replicate in the wizarding world. . "Holy Intervention" is a skill that any paladin with a sacrificial spirit can use.
It is precisely because of the Holy Light profession's proficiency in soul abilities that it is impossible for Legilimency masters such as Dumbledore, Grindelwald, and Voldemort to use this spell to deal with John.
So John wasn't worried about Dumbledore's Legilimency at all.
Not to mention that in addition to his own proficiency in soul spells, John also has a Val'kyr attached to his body at this moment.
Val'kyr, a strange magical creature that is itself processed from the soul, is also a master at playing with souls. In this regard, even the Paladins and Death Knights who are also good at soul spells have to be ashamed.
Val'kyr can even perform the unnatural act of truly bringing the dead back to life - Resurrection, a skill that can be used casually by Paladins, Priests and other professions in the game, does not exist in the real world.
In the real world, what priests and knights call resurrection is actually more appropriately called the Great Healing.
It is only useful for those who have suffered fatal injuries that do not involve the soul and whose vital signs have not completely disappeared.
If it involves death at the soul level, or a person whose vital signs have completely disappeared, the resurrection spell is completely ineffective.
But Val'kyr can really resurrect from the dead - as long as the other party's soul has not completely dissipated.
Of course, the price was also very high...that was the Val'kyr's life.
To put it bluntly, the resurrection of the Val'kyr actually means replacing the death of the soul of the deceased with his own soul. This is also the most precious thing about the Val'kyr.
When Dumbledore looked at John, he felt as if he was facing a majestic Holy Spirit. It was not because John was powerful enough that he needed to look up to him, but because he actually sensed the existence of Oriel, the Val'kyr.
It's just that Dumbledore has never been exposed to strange beings like Val'kyr, so he regards this feeling as an illusion.
"So Professor Dumbledore is suspecting that this matter has something to do with me?" As Dumbledore finished speaking, John asked with a smile.
"I did have this suspicion at the beginning, but after meeting Professor Capet himself, I have dispelled this suspicion. The reason why I say so much is just to let Professor Capet understand the importance of this child. I hope you will Please give me a little help on this matter!" Dumbledore shook his head and said.
There was not much adulteration in his words.
At first, Dumbledore was indeed very suspicious of John. He even suspected that John, like Quirrell, had been bewitched by Voldemort, fell into his arms, and was preparing to attack Harry.
But after sensing the sacred and dangerous aura on John's body, this suspicion was basically dispelled - if a person of this level could be bewitched by Voldemort, then he might as well surrender.
Now he is more curious about John.
Having lived for more than a hundred years, he is undoubtedly well-informed and even knows many unknown secrets in the world, but he has never seen anyone like John.
