Tom hurried back to his room with Zocia's handwriting, and the moment the door opened, he had already appeared in his residence in London.There are people on standby here for a long time. Although there are only two or three people, they are all Tom's confidantes.

When the bell rang, someone hurriedly came to listen to the order: "Sir." It was Triss who came. Although she was a woman, she acted no worse than a man. Very wise decision.

"There is still some silver in the No. [-] basement. Let Dean contact the bank to exchange it into British pounds as soon as possible. You take the money to this address and bring the letter to ask him to help me raise ships. If there is any situation, please return to me in time." Tom gave a key and a letter to Triss.

As soon as Triss took these two things, Tom sent them away.

"Dean." Triss found the thin man in the small room downstairs.

In the dark room, the thin figure raised his head: "Tracey, what are you doing here? No matter what it is, I'm not in the mood right now."

"We still haven't bought some ships." Triss held a key in her fingertips.

Dean didn't even look back at her: "Come on, Triss. We don't have any money now, what are you going to buy a boat with?"

Triss didn't want to joke anymore: "There is still silver in basement 2. Hurry up, sir let us change the pound and go buy a ship." With a bright smile on her face, it seemed to light up the room.

"Tracey." Dean couldn't believe it, and couldn't say anything more.

"Let's go, don't delay the husband's business." Triss turned around and walked to the bright place regardless of Dean.

Dean grabbed a hat and followed behind Triss like flying.

The room was very quiet, and Tom was the only one in the empty room. Even so, he straightened his back and sat solemnly on the big chair, as if there were countless people worshiping in front of him.

What should be done has been done, no matter how things develop in the end, I have no regrets.

"A man's ambition is in the world, and he acts with the heart of a child. There is nothing like one or two among thousands of people. This is the greatest good in the world. My son must remember that walking in the world, doing everything with a clear heart is the best." Lin Ruhai said these words At that time, Tom had just arrived at Lin's house. At that time, he was still thin and ignorant.

At this moment, Tom in suit and leather shoes already understood the meaning of this sentence: "Father, I have no shame in my heart."

Standing up, Tom put on his magic robe, adjusted the neckline and cuffs for himself, and opened the door back to Hogwarts without any anxiety or panic.

I've done everything I can, and it's the world's business.

Tom's composure returned, calm and calm.

"Tom, I'm so glad to see you now. You didn't look... very happy two days ago." Assas stood beside Tom and patted him on the shoulder.

Tom turned back and smiled: "It made you worry. It's just that I'm in a bad mood, but everything is fine now."

"Of course everything is fine. You are Tom Riddle." A second-year student next to him interrupted. Seeing Tom looking at her, he even gave an exaggerated aristocratic salute.

Tom smiled conversantly, then turned his gaze back to Assas, not caring that the man behind him blushed with excitement from the gaze and smile.

"Tom, I have to say. You are a born leader. Look at these people, but in just two years, you have already stood in the position where everyone bows down." Assas said.

Tom didn't feel any emotion because of such praise: "Athas. This is just a small game of Merlin, and I happened to be in his eyes by luck."

Assas didn't look at Tom, but just looked at the cup of tea in his hand: "Tom, do you remember the first time we met?"

"Of course." Tom said.

"At that time, my father told me that you are the most powerful little wizard he has ever seen. As long as you can grow up smoothly, you will become the most powerful piece of the Malfoy family fortress. You know, Tom, Malfoy Funeng has the status it has today, my father is not wrong, I am always willing to support any of my father's decisions. Only by following the wise man can we go further?" Tom listened to Assas's words but picked He raised his eyebrows and didn't speak.

Assas obviously didn't expect him to say anything: "But, Tom. This time, I think my father's point of view was decided too early. In my opinion, you should not be the barrier of the Malfoy family, you Should be Malfoy's friend, closest friend."

Tom drew circles with his fingers on the rim of the teacup. He didn't immediately follow up on Assas's words, but just listened quietly.After a while, he raised his teacup to Assas: "Of course, whether it's Assas and Tom or Malfoy and Riddle, they must be the closest friends."

The two smiled and took a sip of tea.

"I heard that Dumbledore went to Germany." The latest establishment of diplomatic relations, Assas felt that it was reasonable to offer some small information to his friends: "You know, I heard that Grindelwald is there."

Tom only knew that Dumbledore was not at school, but he didn't know that he went to Germany: "Grindelwald?"

Gellert Grindelwald's ties to fascist forces in Germany are a well-known secret throughout the wizarding world.Tom secretly wondered whether Dumbledore's trip would have an impact on the war.

"It's a good thing he's not at school this time, otherwise Slytherin might not be able to get such a big deal. You counted it just right at this time." Assas didn't know what Tom was thinking, and continued to express his opinion: " You know, although Dumbledore is pure blood, he doesn't pay much attention to the interests of pure blood, which makes many nobles disappointed with his existence. But this time he will definitely fail, everyone knows that. Anyway So, I hope he survives."

Assas's tone seemed to have settled on Dumbledore's failure, as well as the failure of Gryffindor and the pride of Slytherin caused by this failure.

While thinking about the things on the battlefield and the influence that Dumbledore could bring, Tom gave a vague reminder to his new close friend: "Assas, confront Grindelwald as a public enemy, so even if you fail, you can How? This is human nature, not everyone can reach their heights. Besides, after so many years of dealing with each other, do you think that Dumbledore didn't consider that he would lose? So, you think what you saw Is that what you thought?"

He stood up without waiting for Assad to reply, and lowered his voice again: "Assad, as your friend, I would like to give you the first advice between friends 'go get a piece of the pie, what you see is not necessarily true. That's all there is to truth.'”

The relationship between Gellert and German fascism, the hundreds of thousands of men that Britain is about to lose, the situation in Europe that is in full swing, and the purpose of Dumbledore's trip to Germany.

Tom thought he saw something, but not quite clearly.

On the 24th, Tom's owl brought news that the German Panzer Army had ceased fighting at Dunkirk and the Air Force had begun air strikes.

Flipping the letter paper upside down on the table, Tom's mind was completely emptied, he didn't have to think about anything, he just had to wait for the next news.

The cabinet has not yet issued an order to retreat, but Germany has stopped the attack of the Panzer Army, which leaves time for the besieged British forces in the Dunkirk theater to organize their defenses.But as long as the cabinet does not order a retreat, the British army will definitely leave the last body in Dunkirk.

Time, what is most lacking now, the most urgent thing is time.

Tom's ship was parked near the English Channel, ready to sail to Dunkirk for a rescue evacuation at any time. The only thing missing now was the evacuation order from the cabinet.

Soon, 40 people, soon.

Tom kept giving hints in his heart to calm his nervousness.

On the 26th, the cabinet ordered the implementation of the "generator" plan.The moment Tom received the news, his whole body relaxed.This is the most difficult start, but as long as it gets through this most difficult stage, Britain still has a chance to breathe.

Tom tapped the back of the letter with his fingertips.Sure enough, the Malfoy family made peace with the British government.

Pure-blood nobles who despise Muggles, huh.

But this is not important anymore, in front of these fresh lives struggling on the battlefield, the size of the ultimate benefit is not important anymore.Moreover, no conclusion has been drawn, and no one knows whether the current loss is a loss or a gain.

But please be honest.

In the following days, Tom lived his student life quietly. His fleet rescued nearly 1 soldiers, including more than [-] French soldiers, which was enough.

Dumbledore, I heard he's in the hospital and won't be back at school until next week.Tom visited him the day he came back, above board, under the hostile eyes of a pack of lion cubs.

There are only Dumbledore and Tom in the office.

"Please sit down, Tom." Dumbledore's wand waved a cup of hot black tea in front of Tom.

Tom saluted, and then sat in front of Dumbledore, with a small round table in the middle. They had never been so close before, and Tom could clearly see Dumbledore's current appearance.

Dumbledore's health doesn't seem to be a problem, and if there is a hospital, he won't be released, but his spirit doesn't look very good.

He was still wearing a nightgown, and his auburn hair lacked the spirit it used to have, and looked sickly. It didn't even have the same color as the fire before, but instead brought out some gray.His eyes were also dull. Tom remembered that when he saw Dumbledore for the first time, he looked like a simple knife that killed people on the battlefield, but now he looked like an old newspaper that was out of date and dusty in the corner.

A stooped old man.
