It kept extending its branches in all directions, but the crown never appeared.

Vizette and Luna looked up at the enormous cloud in the sky, and the same thought came to their minds: "The tree canopy is that cloud! It's the World Tree!"

Suddenly, a hoarse, melodious voice, like a horn, rang in my mind.

The voice was indistinct, yet its meaning was still clear.

It leisurely asked a strange question: "Having offered your sacrifice, what is your wish? Come to me and tell me!"

Vizette and Luna exchanged glances, then tentatively asked, "Did you hear that?"

Xenophilius exclaimed in surprise, "You guys also thought you heard something just now?"

Vizette and Luna nodded in unison, and then another voice echoed in their minds, "I need water... I need to live!"

"I'll give you water," the old voice replied, and then fell silent.

Xenophilius asked in confusion, "Who made a wish just now...?"

Before Vizet and the others could answer, the World Tree’s canopy began to sway, continuously scattering ash and snowflakes, as if summoning the surrounding seawater.

Accompanied by the endless sound of the ocean waves, a wave slowly rose like a curtain, appearing directly above the island.

Vizette said, half-laughing and half-crying, "Now we'll need water... and the only things that will get up there... are probably those sharks."

A cluster of flames suddenly burst forth.

Dumbledore slowly stepped out of the firelight, followed by two wizards floating in the air.

A wizard's chin kept hitting his chest, as if he were falling into a coma;

Another wizard, with a goatee, was bound by countless chains, not only unconscious but also imprisoned in a water bubble;

"Headmaster Dumbledore... what are you doing here?" Wizette exclaimed in surprise.

“I think I’ve come at just the right time!” Dumbledore shook his head slightly and waved his wand gently. “I was just thinking of taking a relaxing trip, but I didn’t expect to encounter so many things.”

A soft bed appeared behind him, just in time to catch the unconscious wizard who had collapsed.

Vizette noticed that the wizard on the soft bed was dressed somewhat familiarly and frowned slightly. "Headmaster Dumbledore, are you... assisting in the investigation of the attack on the Swedish Ministry of Magic?"

Dumbledore shook his head. "The Swedish Ministry of Magic notified me, but the person I'm helping is the Department of Mysteries."

Vizette nodded and said, "Headmaster Dumbledore, I've seen the Obscurials who attacked the Swedish Ministry of Magic, so the person behind you... is the real mastermind?"

He glanced at the sky, where the curtain-like waves were still slowly rising.

However, Dumbledore's arrival did not make him nervous at all. On the contrary, he felt that the atmosphere was much more relaxed, as if he had returned to Hogwarts.

“Yes, he orchestrated this,” Dumbledore nodded. “There was another group…you’ve probably already met them.”

"It's Ms. Salu and Mr. Orminis?" Vizette realized. "What exactly are they planning to do?"

Dumbledore said with a smile, "They intend to defy the prophecy and the next plans of this 'mastermind'."

Vizette asked, "Prophecy...is it the real kind of prophecy? Prophecy that can happen in the future? Prophecy belonging to a true prophet?"

Chapter 34 A Letter from the Previous Guardian

“That’s right!” Dumbledore took an envelope from his pocket. “They’ve left, but they left you a letter.”

“I’ve checked this letter; there’s no curse on it, but only you can open it, so I don’t know what’s written inside.”

Vizette looked at the person encased in the bubble. "Headmaster Dumbledore, what you're saying to me now... will the mastermind hear it?"

“As far as I know, it’s not related.” Dumbledore shook his head. “I’ve already consulted them, and if he can’t be here, I won’t be here with you either.”

"Shall we open it here?"

"Of course, this letter can only be read once."

Vizette took the envelope and immediately felt an overwhelming sense of familiarity.

He used his magic eye and saw that it was filled with ancient magical power.

The postmark features a spiraling cyclone pattern.

A letter protected by ancient magical power can indeed increase its credibility.

Vizette tried to open the envelope, but it seemed to be stuck together and could not be opened at all.

If it is imbued with ancient magical power, perhaps only ancient magic can open it.

He cast Ancient Magic: Throwing Mastery, concealing ancient magical power in his hand and then channeling it into the cyclone stamp.

This is the application method he developed while on the Vasa, based on "Ancient Magic: Throwing Mastery".

Sure enough, the letter was torn open, revealing the letter inside.

With Dumbledore's words as a reminder, Vizet became extremely attentive before taking out the letter to examine its contents.

……

To the new Guardians:

Hello there!

I am Serena Pendragon, the previous Guardian. The "Wizard's Handbook" you obtained was once an important magical tool that guided me in learning magic.

I took it with me all over the world, exploring many wizarding ruins, allowing it to acquire even more ancient and pure power.

The Wizarding Guide to Combat, which grants such power, is no longer just an "important magical item"; it is full of many more possibilities.

However, having already been caught in the world's vortex, I can no longer use the brand-new "Wizard's Guide to Combat," nor can I defeat the impending crisis...

So I need to find a successor—that is you, and it can only be you, or perhaps another you.

Although I cannot understand it, I still decide to believe in Gellert Grindelwald.

He was a true prophet, capable of truly foreseeing the future, and vehemently opposed to certain things happening.

His determination was unwavering; he was even willing to sacrifice an eyeball, completely consuming the prophetic eye from Germany, in order to make a prophecy sufficient for us to carry out our plan.

In other words, Gellert Grindelwald lost sight in one eye—meaning he lost his ability to predict the future.

However, Gellert Grindelwald repeatedly instructed that if Albus Dumbledore asked, he must say that he was completely blind in one eye.

Remember, it's complete blindness.

This is the only message you can tell Albus Dumbledore.

Also, I'm sorry for orchestrating this incident and ruining your relaxing holiday.

After all, it is unforgivable for students not to be able to enjoy their holidays.

However, in order to ensure you have a worry-free vacation in the future, I have to make this decision.

The story begins with an unexpected incident before Christmas, namely the attack on Mr. Ollivander.

By now, you should have guessed it.

That's right! That wand is the one I left behind, and only the guardian can gain the wand's approval.

Just as I sensed that you had obtained the wand, Isaiah, too, noticed the commotion in Diagon Alley and realized that a new guardian had been born, and received your name from Mr. Ollivander.

The Isaiah Society is an incredibly ancient and secretive organization. If I hadn't traveled the world and found clues in various ancient magical ruins, I probably wouldn't have known about this organization.

The founder of the Isaiah Society was a powerful prophet who established the organization based on prophetic revelation, and prophecy became the organization's greatest secret.

After that, he launched a series of actions in order to fulfill the prophecy.

What did Isaiah do?

The witch hunts and fairy rebellions of the past were all inextricably linked to them.

I also suffered a lot because of a fairy rebellion, so I went after them.

In this process, I discovered that the Guardians' power is the natural enemy of the Isaiah Society.

Thus began our long struggle, during which we not only slowly eroded and destroyed the Isaiah's power, but also learned a small amount of the prophecy.

The Isaiah Church targeted Sweden because of this island, which holds the original secrets, and they need to fulfill their prophecy on this island.

The prophecy they were fulfilling was this: by sacrificing primal power, the World Tree would be reborn. Amidst the surging tides, their nemesis would shatter the seal, and their former master would finally break free of its shackles.

They made countless preparations in advance to fulfill the prophecy, and ultimately, taking you, the new Guardian, as a reference, they chose to make the Obscurial a sacrifice rich in "Primal Power".

As for choosing a nemesis, I am naturally the first choice for the Isaiah Society.

And based on the prophetic hints given by Gellert Grindelwald, we are encouraging you to become part of the prophecy.

According to Gellert Grindelwald's prophecy, those who become "sworn enemies" will be spared from the harassment of the main force of the Isaiah Society.

You've only just become a Guardian, and you're undoubtedly the one who needs the most time, which is why I guided you to the island.

What you need to do next is complete the second step of the Isaiah's prophecy—to climb to the top of the World Tree.

As for what to do next... just follow your intuition! It doesn't matter whose intuition it is.

After that, your life will return to relative peace, while we will continue to cause them trouble.

Otherwise, retirement life would be too boring, and I would have to find something to do.

Also, the girl next to you is very special, and a trustworthy companion. Make the most of the opportunity! Hehe!

If you need any help, go to one of the secret rooms at Hogwarts, where we will appear and do our best to assist you.
