Karl climbed the stairs, panting, and headed straight for Dumbledore's Headmaster's Office.
Grindelwald's physical fitness is really good; he actually chased him around the Castle, and he barely managed to escape.
"I have to think of a way to steal the old man's morning star, otherwise I won't dare to go over there anymore."
Gargoyle: (._. )
Karl: ( °-° )
"What are you looking at me for? Open the door!"
Seeing that Karl wasn't even bothering to guess the password, the gargoyle had to reluctantly jump aside.
"It's a pity you're just a stone; otherwise, I'd definitely find you a wife."
Following the rotating staircase upwards to the Headmaster's Office, Dumbledore was wearing the ravenclaw diadem while looking through letters.
"Good afternoon! Albus!"
Dumbledore took the ravenclaw diadem off his head, rubbed his forehead with some fatigue, "Good afternoon, Karl."
"How is it? Can this thing really increase the wisdom of the wearer?"
Karl looked at the diadem with curiosity, wanting to know Dumbledore's user experience.
"Hmm—to some extent, yes, because the ravenclaws diadem allows the wearer to remain calm, rational, and focused. If one studies and thinks during this time, it does indeed count as increasing wisdom."
Dumbledore signaled for Karl to try wearing it, "But be careful not to wear it for too long, because after using the diadem, you will feel exceptionally exhausted."
"Then let me experience it!"
Karl picked up the ravenclaws diadem, solemnly placed it on his head, and began to ponder.
A few minutes later, he put the diadem back in its place.
Looking at Karl's look of having gained something, Dumbledore asked: "How does it feel?"
"Hmm—very good!" Karl raised the corner of his mouth, "I was just thinking about how to cast the Patronus Charm."
"And then?"
"Then I thought of a way to successfully steal Grindelwald's morning star."
Dumbledore: "Huh?"
Has your communication reached this point? Isn't it a bit too friendly?
"Ahem!"
Karl decided to skip this topic, "Have you gained anything recently? Regarding the Tuatha Dé Danann and The Otherworld."
"Of course!"
Dumbledore's eyes brightened, "Remember the Witch Morrigan you mentioned to me before the holidays?"
"You found information about her?"
Karl certainly wouldn't forget this. Although it was Nina who discovered the clue, considering he was the one who gave her the Chocolate Frog, the credit should be at least a 30/70 split.
Yes! 70% is his!
"This was not difficult, because among Morrigan's descendants, there was a Wizard named William Sayre, who married Rionach Gaunt and had a daughter, Isolt Sayre, who later became the founder of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
"So Aberforth went to Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry during this time and found the location of the Sayre family ancestral home, and I found records of Morrigan in that ancestral home located in Ireland."
Karl let out an 'ah'; no wonder he didn't see the Hog's Head Inn open during the summer holidays—it turned out the owner had gone on a business trip.
Dumbledore raised his hand and pointed gently in the air, and silver specks of light formed dense characters.
"The time when Morrigan appeared was a bit later than Herpo the Foul, but they were generally active in the same period."
"Although the time of Herpo the Foul's disappearance is uncertain, Morrigan's departure was recorded by her descendants."
"After organizing various events that could be found around that time, I finally discovered a suspicious point."
Karl stopped trying to read the characters in the air that he didn't recognize at all and looked at Dumbledore, "What suspicious point?"
"The collapse of Ireland Tara Qiu!"
"Not long after Morrigan left, a collapse occurred at the Tara Qiu in Ireland, the cause being a battle between two powerful, unidentified Wizards."
"And from then on, whether it was Herpo the Foul or Morrigan, there were no more records of them appearing anywhere in the world."
Karl: ( - ) }
He understood what Dumbledore meant; if the two Wizards fighting at Tara Qiu were Herpo the Foul and Morrigan, then, assuming Herpo the Foul was the Tuatha Dé Danann god of craftsmanship, this Morrigan was very likely his nemesis, the goddess of war and death, Morgana.
And the Ireland Tara Qiu where they fought and disappeared was where the stone of destiny first appeared, which is why it is called the Stone of Tara; this seems to be an important clue to finding The Otherworld.
Although it was just a guess without evidence, for them, who were looking for a needle in a haystack, it was already enough.
As for why Morgana would leave descendants, it was actually quite normal. Because in Celtic mythology, Morgana had always been the lover of the father god Dagda, and falling in love with Cú Chulainn was a later event, so it was not strange for her to fall in love in the mortal world.
"Fine, we should go to Tara Qiu to find out the truth. When are we leaving?"
As the saying goes, help people to the end; since he had promised Dumbledore, he would surely handle things properly.
"Hmm, no rush, because I have to solve a troublesome matter for an old friend first."
"An old friend?"
"Nicolas Flamel."
Karl realized suddenly; so it was the Philosopher's Stone.
