"That's right!" Dumbledore took an envelope from his pocket. "They've left, but they left you a letter."
"I've checked this letter; there's no curse on it, but only you can open it, so I don't know what's written inside."
Vizette looked at the person encased in the bubble. "Headmaster Dumbledore, what you're saying to me now... will the mastermind hear it?"
"As far as I know, it's not related." Dumbledore shook his head. "I've already consulted them, and if he can't be here, I won't be here with you either."
"Should we open it right here?"
"Of course, this letter can only be read once."
Vizette took the envelope and immediately felt an overwhelming sense of familiarity.
He used his Magia Revelio and saw that it was filled with ancient magical power.
The postmark featured a spiraling cyclone pattern.
A letter protected by ancient magical power could indeed increase its credibility.
Vizette tried to open the envelope, but it seemed to be stuck together and could not be opened at all.
If it was imbued with ancient magical power, perhaps only ancient magic could open it.
He cast Accio, concealing ancient magical power in his hand and then channeling it into the cyclone stamp.
This was the application method he had developed while on the Vasa, based on "Accio".
Sure enough, the envelope tore open, revealing the letter inside.
With Dumbledore's words as a reminder, Vizette became extremely attentive before taking out the letter to examine its contents.
...
To the new Guardians:
Hello!
I am Serena Pendragon, the previous Guardian. The "Hogwarts: A History" you obtained was once an important magical tool that guided me in learning magic.
I took it with me all over the world, exploring many wizarding ruins, allowing it to acquire even more ancient and pure power.
The Standard Book of Spells, which grants such power, is no longer just an "important magical item"; it is full of many more possibilities.
However, having already been caught in the world's vortex, I can no longer use the brand-new "Standard Book of Spells," nor can I defeat the impending crisis...
So I need to find a successor—that is you, and it can only be you, or perhaps another you.
Although I cannot understand it, I still decide to believe in Grindelwald's movement.
He was a true prophet, capable of truly foreseeing the future, and vehemently opposed to certain things happening.
His determination was unwavering; he was even willing to sacrifice an eyeball, completely consuming the prophetic eye from Germany, in order to make a prophecy sufficient for us to carry out our plan.
In other words, Gellert Grindelwald lost sight in one eye—meaning he lost his ability to predict the future.
However, Gellert Grindelwald repeatedly instructed that if Albus Dumbledore asked, he must say that he was completely blind in one eye.
Remember, it's complete blindness.
This is the only message you can tell Albus Dumbledore.
Also, I'm sorry for orchestrating this incident and ruining your relaxing holiday.
After all, it is unforgivable for students not to be able to enjoy their holidays.
However, in order to ensure you have a worry-free vacation in the future, I have to make this decision.
The story begins with an unexpected incident before Christmas, namely the attack on Mr. Ollivander.
By now, you should have guessed it.
That's right! That wand is the one I left behind, and only the guardian can gain the wand's approval.
Just as I sensed that you had obtained the wand, Isaiah, too, noticed the commotion in Diagon Alley and realized that a new guardian had been born, and received your name from Mr. Ollivander.
The Isaiah Society is an incredibly ancient and secretive organization. If I hadn't traveled the world and found clues in various ancient magical ruins, I probably wouldn't have known about this organization.
The founder of the Isaiah Society was a powerful prophet who established the organization based on prophetic revelation, and prophecy became the organization's greatest secret.
After that, he launched a series of actions in order to fulfill the prophecy.
What did Isaiah do?
The witch hunts and goblin rebellions of the past were all inextricably linked to them.
I also suffered a lot because of a goblin rebellion, so I went after them.
In this process, I discovered that the Guardians' power is the natural enemy of the Isaiah Society.
Thus began our long struggle, during which we not only slowly eroded and destroyed the Isaiah's power, but also learned a small amount of the prophecy.
The Isaiah Church targeted Sweden because of this island, which holds the original secrets, and they need to fulfill their prophecy on this island.
The prophecy they were fulfilling was this: by sacrificing primal power, the Yggdrasil would be reborn. Amidst the surging tides, their nemesis would shatter the seal, and their former master would finally break free of its shackles.
They made countless preparations in advance to fulfill the prophecy, and ultimately, taking you, the new Guardian, as a reference, they chose to make the Obscurial a sacrifice rich in "Primal Power".
As for choosing a nemesis, I am naturally the first choice for the Isaiah Society.
And based on the prophetic hints given by Gellert Grindelwald, we are encouraging you to become part of the prophecy.
According to Gellert Grindelwald's prophecy, those who become "sworn enemies" will be spared from the harassment of the main force of the Isaiah Society.
You've only just become a Guardian, and you're undoubtedly the one who needs the most time, which is why I guided you to the island.
What you need to do next is complete the second step of the Isaiah's prophecy—to climb to the top of the Yggdrasil.
As for what to do next... just follow your intuition! It doesn't matter whose intuition it is.
After that, your life will return to relative peace, while we will continue to cause them trouble.
Otherwise, retirement life would be too boring, and I would have to find something to do.
Also, the girl next to you is very special, and a trustworthy companion. Make the most of the opportunity! Hehe!
If you need any help, go to one of the secret rooms at Hogwarts, where we will appear and do our best to assist you.
Oh, right! Once you finish reading this letter, the way to that secret room will also appear...
Serena Pendragon, who wants to retire but doesn't want to be bored
...
When Vizette saw the final signature, the letter in his hand burst into flames and turned to ashes.
Sure enough, after the letter completely disappeared, a route map appeared in his mind, showing how to get to the Guardian's Chamber.
The previous guardian seemed to have revealed many secrets, but these secrets were all incomplete and their deeper meanings were difficult to guess, just like riddles.
"A riddle teller…" Vizette rubbed his temples. "All of it is cryptic and ambiguous…"
