"It's a curse."
"This curse grants us powerful magic from birth, but it also dooms us to be lonely, destined to lose our loved ones, destined for a fate filled with sorrow and grief."
"My father called this curse 'Blood's Sorrow,' said to be a na given by a great prophet to his grandfather." Leonard continued to recount his story.
However.
rlin might have listened intently, but Ian... Ian also listened seriously at first, but as soon as the term 'Blood's Sorrow' ca out of Leonard's mouth, he couldn't hold it anymore.
His eyelids twitched uncontrollably several tis.
"Can I still experience a normal story unfolding..." The little wizard couldn't help but complain in his heart, not even sure if he was complaining about himself or sothing else.
Compared to the little wizard with a wandering mind, rlin was seriously contemplating Leonard's words.
"Blood's Sorrow, huh? I've never heard of that na, but most curses can't be easily removed, especially those connected to a bloodline, which are all the more dangerous."
"It's difficult for others to make an accurate judgnt and find a way to deal with it."
"Of course, if you're willing, I can teach you so magic, help you better control your power, and perhaps one day you can resolve your issues by yourself."
rlin unexpectedly offered to teach Leonard magic.
This surprised the little wizard. Ian couldn't help but glance at rlin several tis, never expecting that the Dumbledore family would have dealings with rlin. Whether this was an impact of his ti travel into this world or an unknown historical story, he wasn't sure.
"Witnessing history."
Ian had a different perception of ti travel.
Facing rlin's invitation was an opportunity countless wizards dreamt of, but to Leonard, the young Dumbledore hesitated.
"Sir Wizard, honestly, I really do want to learn magic, learn how to control the power within , but..." He seed hesitant to continue.
"But what?"
Ian raised an eyebrow, "This is a rare opportunity. Becoming an apprentice to this wizard beside will be a great opportunity in your life."
He reminded the young man in front of him.
And he used the term 'apprentice' to subtly define rlin's decision.
This was full of goodwill from the little wizard.
After all, he received a lot of help from Albus and Ariana, and there were even rumors in school that he was like half a Dumbledore. Helping this family was a natural choice.
"I can feel it, you are both extrely powerful wizards." Leonard gratefully glanced at Ian, but his expression still showed so struggle.
"But I am cursed, I dare not leave here." He finally confessed his innermost fear, a worry about stepping out of this valley.
"Hmm?"
The little wizard was taken aback.
"Is there more to this?"
rlin also sensed so confusion. In his knowledge, curses could indeed be temporarily suppressed by certain things, but these things usually had little to do with the living environnt.
Leonard saw the two wizards' confusion and helplessly spread his hands, "My family has lived here for generations because our ancestor once gave such instructions."
"Our ancestor said that as long as we live here, watching over this place for a certain presence, the Dumbledore family's curse would be redeed by the end of a century."
Leonard's gaze passed over Ian and rlin, looking towards the seemingly plain mountain wall behind them, knowing it hid certain unknown secrets.
"This..."
The little wizard was dumbfounded.
"Clap, clap, clap~"
rlin was also montarily stunned, then started clapping, "Well, well, a free gravekeeper, it seems the victims you've fooled aren't just ."
He gave the little wizard a strange look, then looked back at Leonard, "Let guess, did your ancestor et soone nad divh?"
rlin deliberately emphasized the na "divh."
"What does it have to do with ? I definitely wouldn't deceive people... only occasionally." Ian felt his neck stiffen, embarrassed to the point where it seed his head was about to sprout horns.
"divh, huh..."
Leonard strained to recall.
"I do have so impression of that."
His mories from childhood might already be unclear.
However.
This Dumbledore clearly found the na ntioned by rlin familiar. As Leonard racked his brains over his limited family knowledge.
"Scamming your familiar ancestor's ancestor, tsk tsk, even beyond body-hopping." rlin gave Ian a thumbs-up; the little wizard found it hard to defend himself.
Luckily, Leonard patted Phoenix's head, as if sothing suddenly ca to him.
"Oh, right, my father did ntion that na, but only within tales about our ancestor. In reality, our family teachings originated from our ancestor, not from this person." His words cleared Ian's na a bit, making the little wizard stand a little taller.
"I knew it! I'm not that kind of person!" Ian's voice slightly rose, his deanor markedly more assured than before.
rlin seed a bit disappointed at this.
"Do you know how your ancestor and divh crossed paths?" He seed relentless, pressing Leonard again with a question.
Ian was speechless.
Leonard scratched the back of his head and uncertainly spoke, "If I recall correctly, my father did say, our ancestor was one of the seven angels serving divh."
This statent not only surprised rlin.
"Angel?"
rlin caught the sensitive word.
"Can you rember your ancestor's na?"
Even Ian beca intrigued and asked Leonard this ti. Leonard clearly had a quick answer ready.
"Certainly, her na was... Ariana Dumbledore."
Leonard spoke with utmost certainty.
rlin had yet to react.
The little wizard's pupils were already uncontrollably widening.
"?????"
Ian doubted his ears.
