The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

Five days later.

Hogwarts.

Dumbledore sat alone on a bench next to the hunting ground, looking at the Black Lake in trance.

Grindelwald stood beside him, looking at him with a smile.

A breeze blew, bringing a hint of sweetness.

Dumbledore closed his eyes intoxicated, took a deep breath and said:

"Looks like we're going to have pumpkin stew for lunch today. It's so delicious."

After saying this, Dumbledore suddenly coughed and his face became extremely pale.

Grindelwald patted his back with some distress and murmured:

"Time flies so fast! The experience of studying in Europe was still fresh in our minds, but now, we are already old men."

Dumbledore couldn't help but chuckled:

"Instead of saying it was a study tour, it was more like we were wreaking havoc everywhere, right?"

"You can't say that. Although we did seem to be fooling around back then, at least we found the 'God of Death' in Nurmengard." Grindelwald said seriously, "The 'ghost' sealed by the Three Hallows of Death , if left alone, the world will be destroyed.

So, we saved the world! "

Dumbledore responded without comment, but his eyes were becoming blurred.

That door, together with the 'God of Death' sealed in the door, was indeed discovered by following clues while they were searching for the Deathly Hallows.

The so-called 'God of Death' is actually a 'ghost' restricted, or sealed, by the Three Hallows of Death.

He is like a huge and terrifying curse, possessing unimaginable power that is enough to help people realize any wish, but at the same time, it is also enough to destroy the entire world.

To put it this way, the 'God of Death' is more like an existence similar to Pandora's Box.

But in fact, the two are completely different.

Pandora's Box at least leaves people with hope.

But the 'God of Death' is pure destruction and disaster. What he says about 'fulfilling any wish' is very distorted and does not bring any hope at all. It is just desire.

Regarding the origin of 'Death', he and Grindelwald conducted a lot of investigations, but only found a few clues.

Combining these clues and brainstorming, they can only guess that the 'Death' and the Deathly Hallows were developed thousands of years ago by the Peverell family who wanted to defeat the God of Death and achieve immortality during the most extraordinary period on earth. Ancient tools.

This statement sounds a bit nonsensical.

But in fact, due to the great abundance of extraordinary resources during that period, wizards often did similar bizarre things.

For example, the basilisk.

That completely irrational creature was created during that period.

So it's not surprising that someone would do this kind of research.

Of course, the Peverells must have failed.

There is no doubt about this, otherwise the world would be ruled by the three old Peverell brothers.

Nowadays, the Three Holy Artifacts of Death have changed from the holy instruments for completing the ritual of immortality to the tools for sealing the 'God of Death'.

The magic power of the 'God of Death' also continued to pass over a long period of time, and eventually those terrifying magic powers formed another world in the sealed space.

A world that is like a dream, where everything is real and illusory, allowing the person who enters it to do whatever they want and reveal their truest inner desires.

Both of them had been affected by that world and had seen things.

After that, many things happened.

Ultimately, what they saw in that world strengthened their beliefs, making Dumbledore the Headmaster of Hogwarts and Grindelwald the first Dark Lord.

The brothers turned against each other and killed each other, but each other was pursuing their own dreams.

Countless souls died on the road to pursuing their dreams.

And at a certain moment, they suddenly discovered that along with their struggle, a terrible thing suddenly poured into the real world from 'inside the door'.

That is the blood of the king!

This is an unprecedented but extremely powerful force.

They were born out of the bloody turmoil that Grindelwald caused around the world.

Sadness, anger, fear, ecstasy...

All kinds of extreme emotions were intertwined together, absorbed by the 'Death' inside the door, and finally transformed into the blood of the king and fed back to the world.

This is sweet death, sweet curse.

It can greatly enhance the strength of the wizard, but it also contains countless crazy ideas, which is enough to make those with weak minds become slaves of the king's blood.

They took the lead in finding Grindelwald and Dumbledore, the two most powerful men in the world, and attempted to use these two legendary wizards as their own breeding ground.

Grindelwald and Dumbledore accepted the offer at first.

After all, with the mental toughness of the two of them, suppressing the King's Blood is too easy.

But they soon realized something was wrong.

Because as their power becomes stronger and the blood of the king increases in their bodies, the portal that seals the 'God of Death' becomes more and more fragile.

In the end, they could even hear the huge roar of the 'Reaper' hammering the portal in the real world!

This sound woke them up from their wonderful dreams.

If 'Death' is truly broken.

Then the world would be over!

They quickly stopped fighting, returned to the door, and began to make up for their mistakes.

Nurmengard was built, and Grindelwald imprisoned himself in it as a prisoner, acting as a gatekeeper to suppress the increasingly rampant 'Death'.

Dumbledore stayed at Hogwarts, looking for ways to further solve the problem.

"That Link Foley kid, is that the method you found?"

Grindelwald asked softly.

Dumbledore shook his head and said:

"No, in fact, I just felt pity for Link at first. You can understand, right? Link's father performed an inhumane blood ritual on him, transforming him from a smart and beautiful child into a monster.

Faced with such a tragedy, I really can't bear to be cruel.Therefore, even if Link's father stole and used the King's blood, I did not punish Link and the Foley family, and even allowed Link to enter Hogwarts to study.

But as things progressed, the whole thing got completely out of control. "

"Losing control? Do you actually lose control of things?" Grindelwald sneered, "Stop pretending! Ever since that child appeared in front of me with you and my 'Blood Pact', I have I understand what you are thinking. You just want to rely on him to solve the 'Death' problem!"

Dumbledore finally turned his head and said with an extremely serious expression:

"I swear to you, I have never taken advantage of Link Foley. Link Foley should have been an ordinary wizard and spent his life honestly. I also did the blood of the king in his body Enough seals and arrangements. The blood of the king can only fuse the various blood vessels in Link's body to prevent his body from collapsing. It cannot play its due role at all and cannot continue to grow.

But the ghost of Voldemort No. 1 hidden in "Tom Riddle's Diary" stole part of the King's Blood hidden in Link's body, and began to cultivate the King's Blood in order to gain power!

And Link himself has also changed.

He becomes smarter and stronger, and this power allows the blood of the king to exert its true power!

It's all out of control!do you understand? "

Seeing how serious Dumbledore was, Grindelwald finally nodded and continued to ask:

"Then what's going on now? The 'God of Death' I guarded in Nurmengard has disappeared, but the world has not been destroyed. I really can't figure it out."

"I can't figure it out either!"

Dumbledore smiled and said, "But I guess it was Link who rushed into the sealed space and killed the 'Death'."

"And then, he himself was trapped in that world, right?"

Grindelwald continued.

This is not impossible.

The Peverell family used a trick when sealing the 'God of Death'. They used the Three Hallows of Death as tools to extract the energy of the 'God of Death' as ​​the source of energy for the seal, and formed a virtuous cycle from it.

This directly results in the 'God of Death' being unable to break the seal with the power of the same source. There is no energy higher than him in this world, so theoretically, the 'God of Death' can never break the seal.

Unless, the 'God of Death' can create an energy that is more advanced than itself and has the ability to restrain and destroy the energy it controls.

'Death' did exactly that.

His last work is the King's Blood, a powerful energy formed by various extreme emotions combined with the power of 'Death'.

According to the original plan of the 'God of Death', the king's blood will give people power and control their minds. Finally, after the king's blood reaches a certain total amount, the seal will be broken with just the right amount and the person will be killed. liberation.

This should have been a perfect plan, because as the amount of the King's blood increases, its power to influence people's minds will become stronger.

No one in the world can withstand this growing ability to bewitch, and will eventually become the power of the King's Blood.

But Link resisted forcefully.

The blood of the king he collected was far more than enough to break the seal of the Deathly Hallows.

Then, Link rushed into the sealed world and killed the 'God of Death' with the 'blade' forged by the 'God of Death' himself.

And replaced the 'God of Death' as ​​the real master of the sealed world, and also became the energy source of the entire sealed world. The energy of the king's blood extracted by the three holy weapons of death formed a new seal, which was sealed in the same way.

"Alas - such a strong man has ended up like this. But this should be a good thing for him, right? After all, in that world, his dead mother and fiancée can be resurrected Stay with him."

Grindelwald lamented a few times and then continued, "But I still don't understand. Link's behavior and purpose are very clear. But No. 1, the soul of Voldemort who originally stole the blood of the king, What happened to him?

There's honestly no logic to what he did.

It was as if he was deliberately giving the brewed king's blood to Link, and eventually gave it up along with his own life. "

"Of course it's for love."

Dumbledore said without hesitation.

"For love?" Grindelwald frowned.

"Of course it's for love." Dumbledore nodded. "He did learn a lot from the failure of Voldemort's main soul. He also developed the theory of great love. Although his great love is very evil, it is a It's a crooked way, but I have to admit that it is indeed a kind of love. He does love everything in the world as he said.

Then the problem will arise.

Since he loves everything in the world, do you think he loves himself?

After all, he himself is a part of everything in the world. "

Grindelwald is not a fool, and he also has his own sources of intelligence.

After hearing what Dumbledore said, he immediately had a guess in his mind and stared at the road:

"You mean, he went through so many things just to enter that sealed world and use its power to fulfill his wishes and make up for his regrets?"

Dumbledore snapped his fingers and said with a smile:

"No. 1, or in other words, Voldemort's wish when he was a boy was eternal life, and his regret was that he could not get his mother's love. It happened that these two sealed spaces could satisfy him, so his ultimate goal was to enter the sealed space.

And, he did succeed.

His original plan was to cultivate enough king's blood, collect the Deathly Hallows, break the seal, kill the God of Death, and become the master of the sealed world.

However, Link's sudden appearance later disrupted his plan.

Then, he made adjustments to the plan. After confirming that Link could not be killed, he began to cooperate and handed all the blood of the king and part of his own soul into Link's hands, and guided Link to kill the God of Death.

At the same time, part of his soul was hidden in the king's blood, entering the sealed world and fulfilling his wish. "

Grindelwald frowned and said slowly:

"Is it really worth it just for those illusory bubbles?"

Dumbledore said: "How do you know that the things that appear in the sealed world are illusions? Can't they be real?"

"Are you kidding me?" Grindelwald said. "You and I both know that everything in that world is illusory, because we have all experienced it ourselves!"

"No, no, no, you and I have different understandings. Let me ask you a few questions." Dumbledore shook his head and said, "How do you define illusion and reality? How do you believe that the world we live in now is real? Maybe The world we live in now is fictional, the world in other people’s books.”

Grindelwald still wanted to argue, but Dumbledore continued:

“Also, have you paid attention to recent developments outside?

It has been five days since Link disappeared. Without his suppression, the Ministry of Magic of the United States would have been in chaos, and the Foley family would have been annihilated.

But now?

The Ministry of Magic of the Republic of China is still fine. The committee system created by Link has not disappeared. Barty and Percy have not elected new committee members. Instead, they continue to manage the Ministry of Magic of the Republic of China and annex other magical circles.

I heard that Newland and Skeffen have taken advantage of the empty time in the Ministry of Magic to take control of the entire European wizarding world, and are still heading towards the United States.

Moreover, the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic of the Republic of China also absorbed the technology of Sky City, and also cooperated with Muggles to develop technology that allows wizards to break through space restrictions and enter the outer sky to explore.

oh!Okay, to be honest, I don't really agree with this.I still think it's too risky to cooperate with Muggles and break the law of confidentiality.

But it doesn't matter, I'm old anyway, these things have nothing to do with me, and they won't listen to me, a weak old man, blabbering.

Well, let's get down to business.

Let’s talk about the Foley family.

The Foley family was also not destroyed after Link disappeared.

Beckman quickly adjusted his mentality and suppressed some rebellions that broke out in the Forley family hunting group with a devastating attitude. After that, the Forley family became more and more prosperous.

The strangest thing is that Beckman has been buying all kinds of precious gems and materials recently, and he happily said that he was going to hold an unprecedented grand wedding!

Guess who this wedding is for? "

Grindelwald was horrified when he heard this, and he shuddered and said:

"You mean, Link Foley came out of the sealed world? He even resurrected his fiancée, and..."

Dumbledore stood up, smiled and waved his hand, interrupting Grindelwald's words.

"Whatever, these things have nothing to do with us. Let the young people handle the new world. As for a bad old man like me, it's time to have a good sleep and rest."

Dumbledore spoke and walked forward with difficulty.

Grindelwald also smiled and shook his head when he heard this, and took a few steps to follow.

The two of them walked slowly and leisurely on a path.

At the end of the path, there is a tomb made of pure white marble.

At this moment, the tomb door is wide open, as if it is waiting for its owners to arrive.
