Karl quickly recalled. "You said the materials used to craft the ravenclaw diadem, the sword of Gryffindor, the Hufflepuff cup, and the slytherins locket all belonged to a legendary secret treasure, and it came from the same place as the magic core of the Castle."
"Correct. That legendary secret treasure is the dagdas cauldron, one of the four treasures of Celtic mythology, just like the stone of destiny."
"Wow!" Karl exclaimed. "So our enemies are the legendary gods, right?"
Dumbledore shrugged. "Although I don't consider them gods, calling them that is not wrong."
By this time, Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick could finally no longer hold back.
They had been listening for a long time and felt like they were listening to a fairy tale, and the more they listened, the more wrong it felt.
"Headmaster Dumbledore, what are you and Karl talking about? Why can't we understand?"
"Do you mean that the legendary Tuatha Dé Danann have now become enemies of Hogwarts?"
Because the two Professors did not know some key information, they were unable to piece together the whole event.
Dumbledore took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and told them all his speculations and conclusions.
Consequently, Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick also felt a headache. They had just finished fighting the Basilisk, the Dark Wizard, and the Acromantula, and they never expected that to be just an appetizer.
Elvis Heller's atrocious conduct made it impossible for Hogwarts to reconcile with him and hand over Moaning Myrtle.
Whether it was the Allure of students to contact the Horcrux or driving the Acromantula to attack the Castle, these things destined them to be enemies.
They were not afraid to fight such a race, but what about the students?
"Tap, tap, tap."
Dumbledore smiled and tapped the table lightly. "There is no need to be so worried; things are actually not as dire as they seem."
Karl, Professor McGonagall, and Professor Flitwick looked at him in unison. This wasn't bad yet?
"The so-called Tuatha Dé Danann are not invincible. After being defeated by the Milesians, most of the clan entered The Otherworld to live. Since then, few stories about them have been passed down, as if they had completely disappeared."
"And Herpo the Foul obviously chose to stay in the present world, plotting in ancient Greece on how to complete Cú Chulainn's soul."
"But for such an important matter as taking away a spirit, he did not appear himself and only sent out Dark Wizards like Elvis Heller."
A glint flashed in Dumbledore's blue eyes. "What does this indicate?"
Karl understood what he meant. "The Tuatha Dé Danann should find it very difficult to leave The Otherworld, and Herpo the Foul has probably encountered some changes over these thousand years."
Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick also thought of this point and felt much less pressure.
"Exactly. And even if the Tuatha Dé Danann appear, so what? They are just some gods of the past."
Dumbledore's tone was exceptionally calm, but the confidence revealed in his words made the three people present feel at ease.
Come to think of it, when facing the four founders of Hogwarts, Herpo the Foul also disguised himself as Merlin, first befriending Salazar Slytherin, and then acting in secret.
If he really had the power to crush them, he wouldn't need to go through all these twists and turns. Not to mention suppressing or enslaving the four founders, at least making a deal would not have been a problem.
From a thousand years ago to now, his style of doing things was definitely that of a villain. No wonder he left behind the name 'Herpo the Foul'.
"However, for the safety of the students, we must still be cautious in dealing with this matter. After all, Dark Wizards like Elvis Heller are also a threat; they might have many more people."
"At the same time, do not forget the existence of Lord Voldemort. He is hiding somewhere waiting for his resurrection."
"Therefore, we need more help."
Dumbledore's gaze looked out the window, as if passing through space to reach some place.
It seems a letter needs to be written.
