My Hogwarts has a serious problem.

Chapter 177, Section 174: Dumbledore's Letter

[Abduction successful!]

Tom agreed, saying, "Yeah, it would be so ugly without a nose. What normal person would be without a nose? What else could it be but a psychopath?"

"Well said." Lynn did not hold back his praise for Tom. He stopped trying to instill the idea of ​​impossibility in Tom by focusing on individual incidents and instead began to talk about the basics of being a good person.

Lynn asked Tom with a serious expression.

"Do you know what it takes to be a proper person? Or rather, what is the most important thing for a person?"

Tom was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking, and then he spoke.

"Being a good person makes you a qualified person, and the most important thing for a person is to have a kind heart."

Lynn curled his lip. If he didn't know Tom's true nature, he might have actually believed that this was his true feeling. But now he could only sense whether the lie was true or false.

Tom was clearly lying to him; this was obviously not the truth.

Lynn shook his head and said, "You're wrong."

Tom inside the ball was stunned. Was this wrong? Had he misjudged Lynn? Lynn actually had higher standards for people's character; being a kind and good person wasn't enough to meet his criteria?

"The kind of qualified person you're talking about isn't necessarily available. People are everywhere, but good people aren't something you can just run into easily. Kindness is a good quality, but it's not the most important thing about being a person."

Lynn leaned back in his chair, relaxed, and placed Tom on the grass beside him. He looked up at the clear night sky, placed his hands alternately on his abdomen, curled his legs slightly, and squinted his eyes to enjoy the breeze.

"Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing admiration and awe, the more often and the more steadily we reflect upon them: the starry heavens above me and the moral law within me."

"I didn't say that, but I really like it. Morality is something a decent person must have, and it's the most important thing for a human being. If a person doesn't have morality, then they're no different from a beast."

He finished speaking, but the system did not give a judgment. Lynn knew why, and Tom quickly asked his question as well.

What is morality?

"Right and wrong, good and evil, honor and disgrace. Simply put, it means knowing what you can and cannot do; what is good and what is evil; what makes you feel honored and what makes you feel ashamed."

Tom remained silent for a long time inside the ball, and finally said, "I don't understand."

"It's normal not to understand. That's why we need someone to teach us." Lynn didn't expect to transform Tom overnight. Morality is a vague topic; it doesn't have a fixed standard. Lynn didn't want to turn Tom into a complete saint, because he himself couldn't do that, and he had no right to ask others to do so.

He could only tell Tom one of his bottom lines as a person, just like the education system in China, whether it is family education or school education, has always advocated: be a good person first, then become a useful person.

Lynn wasn't shameless enough to think he was a good person, but he considered himself at least a human being.

He grabbed Tom back into his arms.

"Today I'll tell you the first thing: the moral standards a person should have, Tom. You've been following me every day since we arrived here, so why do you think the wizards in this country are fighting each other?"

Tom is very smart, otherwise he wouldn't have achieved such great things in the future.

"Is it because of racial discrimination?"

"Discrimination is a kind of prejudice. No matter what kind of discrimination it is, such as bloodline, race, skin color, etc., it is wrong. So Tom, to be a moral person, you must first not discriminate against a person because of any objective factors."

[Abduction successful!]

"There should be no discrimination among people," Tom said in agreement.

"Yes, people shouldn't discriminate."

He never tried to instill too many ideas in Tom. Even brainwashing has to be done slowly and can't be rushed.

Just as Lynn put Tom back into his pocket, felt he had had enough of being out in the wind, stretched, and was about to carry his chair back inside to sleep, a fiery red golden light suddenly shone in front of him!

The light gathered, and a familiar bird with red feathers flapped its wings and landed on Lynn's shoulder.

Lynn stared at the phoenix in astonishment.

"Fox!"

He subconsciously wondered if he had accidentally pinched the feather, but then he remembered that the feather had been in his pocket the whole time and no one had touched it.

Fox craned his neck to look at him and raised his paw.

Lynn then noticed that Fox was still clutching a letter in his paws.

He took the letter, but instead of opening it immediately, he asked Fawkes, "Did Professor Dumbledore send you?"

Fox nodded slightly.

After receiving confirmation, Lynn opened the envelope. Inside was only a simple piece of parchment, containing little information, but a wealth of details.

First, there's the issue of Lynn's identity.

After he rescued Yelena on Klin Street and attacked the Soviet Aurors, Ivanov quickly confirmed his identity through the identification he had previously presented, and then immediately sent a letter to the British Ministry of Magic in the name of the Soviet Magical Council, questioning him.

Because it was Dumbledore who issued the certificate, Fudge, who had only recently taken over as Minister of Magic of England, quickly passed the question on to Dumbledore.

He was hoping Dumbledore would mishandle the situation, given Dumbledore's immense prestige in the British wizarding world and even the global wizarding community. Although it wasn't a major incident, it would still affect his reputation regardless.

Dumbledore kept delaying his reply, because no matter what reply he gave, it wouldn't make a difference.

Lynn has completely severed ties with the Soviet Magic Council in the Soviet Union. Unless he returns to England now, even if the entire British Ministry of Magic is willing to back him up, the Soviet Aurors will not let him go as long as he remains in the Soviet Union.

In addition, Dumbledore also told Lynn about the situation in the Soviet Union.

In recent times, almost all the Chur tribe wizards in the entire Su Kingdom have left the territory of the Goose Kingdom and arrived in the Lan Kingdom, which was still part of the same country a year ago, through various means.

Meanwhile, Dumbledore, as president of the International Federation of Wizards, also received news that these Chur wizards intended to declare independence in Lan Kingdom, break away from the Magical Council of Su Kingdom, and establish their own magical government.

Moreover, other ethnic minorities besides the Chur are also migrating to the southwestern neighboring country of Goose, and they seem to have the same intention.

The vast magical world of the Soviet Union is beginning to show signs of disintegration.
