Chapter 180： 8 hexagrams (1/2)
As soon as Albert left the principal's office, the portraits who had pretended to be asleep became active, discussing what had just happened.
”The boy looks...smart.” The bald wizard in the portrait at the top right of the desk suddenly said, ”Speaking and acting are not like a twelve-year-old boy. Adult wizards are not calm when encountering such things. .”
”Mr. Anderson is very smart and...special.” Dumbledore said softly with an unusual gleam in his glasses, ”Of course, and very confident.”
Yes, Albert is very confident.
”I also think he had expected this result a long time ago,” the curly-haired witch next to the portrait of the bald old wizard said. ”He obviously knows the value of the gold membership card and knows that Hertok will not give it up easily. ”
”It's obvious.” Dumbledore said
Albert naturally knew the value of the gold membership card, and also knew that Hertok would not give up, that was too important to the pharmacist.
An old wizard with a goatee and silver-green pajamas said without hesitation: ”I don't like him very much.”
”It surprises me, Phineas, what makes you dislike that boy?” A savvy-looking witch raised a thick wand made of birch sticks and asked, ”Muggle wizard's Identity, or his last words?”
”What did I just say?” Phineas hid a yawn, pretending that he just woke up, forgetting what he said.
Continuing this topic is very unfavorable to him.
”The boy's magical talent is very strong and talented, but he doesn't look like a Muggle wizard.” A weak old wizard said.
”He is a Muggle wizard, Armando,” Dumbledore said peacefully. ”But if you go back a few generations, it should be Smith's sideline.”
”Is that the famous Smith family?” The former principal was a little surprised, he knew something about the mysterious Smith family.
”Well, I think so.” Dumbledore said. ”Last semester, I specifically checked his information. Anderson's grandfather was a dumb gun and his father was a Muggle, but Anderson himself is indeed a rare magical genius.”
”It's rare to hear that you use genius to describe a person.” The curly-haired old witch said.
”Dumbledore wants to say, that boy will be the next him?” Phineas said with a hint of sarcasm. ”The lion head beast full of wisdom and courage?”
”Mr. Anderson is better than me.” Dumbledore did not hesitate to praise his words.
”This must be the funniest joke I have ever heard in this century.” Phineas covered his stomach and laughed exaggeratedly.
However, he was the only one laughing in the principal's office, which made the former principal feel very boring, and the laughter gradually subsided.
”Mr. Anderson has surpassed too many people in the study of ancient magic texts.” Dumbledore remembered what he said to Albert when he chatted with Brod:
Albert, he is a genius.
Especially in the study of ancient magic texts, he has an almost natural instinct, and he can master knowledge that many people may not be able to master in a lifetime without any effort.
Later, Albert looked for books in the library and helped McDoug revise his new book. Naturally, Dumbledore knew about these things.
To be honest, McDoug did not fully understand the book himself.
Since a few months ago, Albert went deep into the forbidden forest and rescued Fred and George. Dumbledore had a higher evaluation of Albert and admired Broad's eyesight.
Without extraordinary courage, wisdom and strength, it is very likely that after going deep into the forbidden forest, he will not be able to return.
The periphery of the forbidden forest is not dangerous, but it is dangerous in the depths!
”It's no surprise that there are always some geniuses in the Smith family.” Phineas curled his lips.
Although Black does not want to admit it, the history of the Smith family is indeed longer than that of Black. It is a very mysterious family.
As for, why is the Smith family mysterious?
