Chapter 100 High Tower (200
Two hours later, we turned our eyes to Austria—
...
This is a gloomy, intimidating tower.
From a distance, it looks like an extremely strong fortress, or a large can of food completely wrapped in iron.
The fortress is on a not too high cliff, but within a few miles of the cliff, it is a complete desert, with no vitality seen except the occasional ruins.
There is only a very rugged mountain road leading to that tower.
This cold, dark and far away from the crowd has a well-known name in the wizarding world:
"Neumungard!"
Neumungad is a prison, a prison dedicated to the detention of black wizards.
He was originally a prison in about 1939.
Until 1945, Albus Dumbledore, the most terrifying dark wizard of the 20th century, was imprisoned in this prison.
Since then, fewer and fewer prisoners in prisons have begun to become... Some have died, while others have been transferred to other wizard prisons across Europe.
However, the most notorious black wizard was still locked up here and on the top floor of the tower.
Some people say that this place was abandoned many years ago.
However, insiders know that this prison can run automatically without guarding it.
As long as its creator, Gellert Grindelwald, the greatest wizard of the 20th century, is still alive!
That's enough.
Even though it was late at night, the line of words engraved above the entrance of Neumungard still shone with a faint light:
"For greater good!"
...
However, on the top floor of the tower, there is a completely different scene.
Two old men with white hair, facing each other, sat in front of a fire.
One was dressed in rags and the other was dressed in bright clothes.
One is old, thin and looks weak at the same time; the other is a childish face, with a erotic figure and still has an extraordinary temperament!
One was the most notorious dark wizard of the 20th century, and the other was the most widely praised great wizard of the 20th century.
Albus Dumbledore, with Gellert Grindelwald.
Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for you to associate these two wizards together. They belong completely to people from different worlds.
But now, they are chatting.
Like many old friends for many years, they are very casual, ordinary, and unrestrained...
Moreover, it was Grindelwald who was talking passionately, while Dumbledore was listening quietly.
In front of them were two small wine glasses, a bottle of honey wine, and a large basket of candies of various types.
...
"...It's that simple. The black witch, who is known as the most powerful in the history of British magic, was easily defeated by me!" Grindelwald's voice was loud, and at the same time he fiddled with a silver light-out in his hand.
Any wizard who knows Grindelwald is here, he will be shocked at this moment.
Because they will see that the president of the International Wizards Federation, chief of Wisengamor, the greatest wizard of the contemporary era, is telling his experience not long ago in a show-off tone.
"That's it?"
However, Albus Dumbledore, with his head down, his expression seemed to be a little disdainful.
"Yes!" Grindelwald snorted coldly: "Does my plan not be perfect enough? Am I not clever enough? Do you have any better ideas?"
"It's just that I can deceive an old witch who has been imprisoned by Merlin for thousands of years!" Dumbledore still did not look up: "I can find at least six or seven loopholes in it!"
"It is precisely because she was imprisoned by Merlin for thousands of years and had already lost the dignity of a real wizard that I have the confidence to deal with her in this way!" Grindelwald did not feel offended, but explained calmly.
"So, Garrett, you didn't take Hogwarts to heart!" Dumbledore suddenly raised his head and said coldly:
"You don't care about the life and death of Hogwarts students. You have put them in extreme danger for such a long time in the past; they are just tools to achieve your goals... Their life and death can be used to exchange interests for you..."
Grindelwald was silent for a moment.
Then he stood up and raised his head proudly: "Abusi, wouldn't you make such a choice?"
"Of course I won't!" Dumbledore said firmly.
Grindelwald retorted without hesitation: "If you were in my place, do you think you wouldn't be able to put students in extreme danger? Do you think you wouldn't be able to use students as tools to achieve your goals? Do you think you wouldn't be able to exchange students' life and death for greater benefits?"
This time it was Dumbledore's turn to remain silent.
"I will at least not care about the lives and death of the Hogwarts students!" After a moment of silence, Dumbledore retorted again.
"I didn't care about their life or death!" Grindelwald snorted coldly: "If that old witch really wanted to kill the two first-grade children, I would also take action in advance!"
Dumbledore lowered his head again.
Because he knew that what Grindelwald said was true!
"We are one kind of people, Albus." Grindelwald continued: "We are one kind of people from beginning to end..."
"We have never been the same type of people!" Dumbledore said firmly without hesitation.
"Why do you keep denying such facts?" Grindelwald suddenly felt like he was angry, and he sat on the ground:
"It's been forty-seven years, Albus... I've been imprisoning you here for forty-seven years... Isn't it enough for forty-seven years to figure it out?"
"I thought it thoroughly... from beginning to end!" Dumbledore said again.
"It seems that you still don't want to give up after all..." Grindelwald sighed.
He picked up the honey wine on the ground, poured a glass of Dumbledore across from him and himself.
Dumbledore drank it all without hesitation.
...
"Let's change to some relaxed topics!"
Grindelwald also drank his honey wine.
"A relaxed topic?" Dumbledore didn't seem to be in high spirits.
"Yes..." Grindelwald nodded: "A very interesting thing... This time I went back to Hogwarts, I met a very interesting little guy..."
Gellert Grindelwald said relaxed and comfortable while pouring wine.
It can be seen that he was indeed unsuspecting.
But Albus Dumbledore opposite him was different.
A ray of light suddenly flashed across the corners of his wrinkled eyes.
Chapter completed!
