Chapter 391 The dark tide is surging
"Oh? I really didn't expect that you would choose to visit me during the summer vacation."
On the top floor of Nurmengard Prison, Grindelwald, who was reading the newspaper carefully while wearing reading glasses, raised his head in surprise, focusing his eyes on the golden spark that had just exploded in his cell.
"Good afternoon, Gail, I brought this child to see you."
Dumbledore, who had just appeared in the flames, skillfully took out one plate after another of delicious food from the wooden box he carried with him, and placed them on the table with ease.
"Ah, why do I always feel that your meal is a little malicious?"
Grindelwald snorted, then picked up the knife and fork and started eating.
"We encountered some things two days ago, and I want to ask you what you think."
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Qi sat opposite Grindelwald.
"What happened again"?
Grindelwald asked nonchalantly.
"We went to the Vatican once and something very uncomfortable happened there."
Zhang Qi said after considering his words.
"Ah? Dumbledore, how dare you let a child stay with those perverted clergy? Although people should not be discriminated against based on their orientation, those disgusting priests and bishops are really disgusting!"
Grindelwald was shocked, and then complained to Dumbledore.
"I think you misunderstood, Gale. This child did meet a bishop with abnormal orientation before, but that bishop is dead."
Dumbledore waved his hand helplessly.
"Oh, that's good. What happened to this kid? Could it be that a fire burned down the church?"
Grindelwald breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked in an extremely casual tone.
“Why do you sound like burning a church is as commonplace as burning a cardboard box”?
Zhang Qi complained from the side.
"Anyway, after burning down the church, they will steal money from the believers to continue repairing it, and they will even take this opportunity to make another fortune. Anyway, I don't feel any guilt."
Grindelwald shrugged his shoulders, and then a strange expression appeared on his face.
"So what did this kid do? Go to the Bone City and steal the saint's relics?"
"Neither, Gail."
Dumbledore said helplessly:
"He killed the Pope."
"Oh, it turns out he just killed a pope. As for... wait, you said this kid killed the pope"?
Grindelwald's eyes suddenly widened, and his tone became slightly stuttered.
"As a student, I think you have more potential than the student before you"...
Grindelwald's face turned red due to shock, and it took him a long time to say a word.
"He was infected by the undead, and several of us almost died there."
Zhang Qi took out his wand, looked up at the wall clock in the room, confirmed that it was the circle's self-check time, and then tapped his temple with the tip of the wand.
A silver thread was slowly pulled out, thrown into the air with a flick of the wand, and then condensed into silver-white mist.
"Nice Legilimency."
Grindelwald praised lightly, and then lightly touched the mist in the air with his hand.
"Oh, it's really disgusting."
After watching the memory clip in full, Grindelwald let out a cold snort.
"What do you think"?
Gu YuZhang Qi asked with a frown.
"Dumbledore, I suggest you cancel this competition."
After a moment of silence, Grindelwald frowned and said.
"I know what you mean, Gale. There will be a lot of people coming to Hogwarts this year, and there are also many people from Ifamony School. To be honest, I am not worried about the safety of the students, so I ask We have hired several very powerful wizards as Defense Against the Dark Arts professors for the next school year."
Dumbledore sighed and then said.
"However, I heard that China will send a group of very interesting students. I think with their presence, safety can still be guaranteed."
"Ah, but I still suggest that you just take a year off from school. After all, nothing is more important than anything else."
Grindelwald shrugged.
"impossible".
Zhang Qi also said helplessly.
"Then I can only wish you good luck, kid."
Grindelwald waved his hand, and then began to concentrate on eating the things on the plate.
"I have already thought about the alchemy path you asked me to help you design last time, and it is all on this piece of paper. Also, I must admit that pencils are indeed much easier to use than quills"...
Grindelwald stood up, pulled out several large rolls of paper from behind his bed, and handed them over.
"Your design is very exquisite, but the alchemy techniques belonging to China and some unknown magical intelligent species really caused me a lot of trouble. I can't directly participate in the production of that alchemy item here, and the rest is just You can rely on yourself."
"Thank you, Mr. Grindelwald."
Zhang Qi looked at the old man in front of him with a complicated expression, and then took the drawing.
"Both my radicalism and Dumbledore's peacefulness are no longer suitable for this era. The future will always be yours. If you have any ideas, just go ahead and do it. I believe you can change the world."
Unexpectedly, Grindelwald did not sit down and continue eating. Instead, he held Zhang Qi's hand and spoke very sincerely and solemnly.
"I will".
Zhang Qi's face appeared briefly blank, and then he nodded.
"Then I hope I can see the world change in my lifetime."
Grindelwald sighed, and then waved to the two people who were disappearing in the golden-red flames.
After the golden-red flames burned out, the room became empty again.
The old man sat quietly by the window, looking at the unchanging snow-capped mountains outside the window, and suddenly felt an urge to go out for a walk.
"Forget it, I have to betray my old friend to save face. Let's consider this idea again in two years when the rotation of the Ministry of Magic changes."
Grindelwald said to himself.
………………
"I feel like Grindelwald is a little weird today. He shouldn't be controlled by anything, right?"
While walking in the capital of Austria, Dumbledore bought two ice creams and shared them with Zhang Qi to eat while walking.
"Definitely not, but aren't you his friend? And you are also the greatest white wizard in the world. I think you can definitely confirm it without any hindrance."
Zhang Qi said helplessly.
"He is basically not like this. Grindelwald is a person who values the highest interests above all else. He is willing to abandon everything for his own goals, whether it is friendship or love."
Dumbledore gently scooped a spoonful of ice cream and stuffed it into his mouth, carefully feeling the unique taste of summer.
I wonder if his thoughts have drifted to that summer in Godric's Hollow at this time.
