Europe, Nurmengard.

The gloomy tower stands in the desolate suburbs, and the ivy has crawled over most of the walls wantonly, and the moss is printed on the bricks and tiles, engraving the traces of time.More than forty years ago, a shocking confrontation took place here, which attracted the attention of most of Europe and affected the course of the next few decades. Back then, this place was well-organized and heavily guarded.

However, the most ruthless thing is time, which erases the smoke of gunpowder and love and hate together, and calms the hustle and bustle of the past into today's loneliness.Among the new generation of wizards, how many people have not forgotten this decisive battle?

The Dark Lord had not forgotten.

When he entered Hogwarts, the first generation of the Dark Lord—no, there was no such thing as the first generation and the second generation at that time. The name of the Dark Lord refers to the Grindelwald who sits high on the wizard's throne— —At that time, Grindelwald's power was at its peak, and the saints were making troubles all over the world, and the slogan "for the greater good" resounded through most of Europe.

People fear him and admire him, some people hate him for his cold-bloodedness, some people worship him for his unscrupulous methods.This kind of fear and worship reached its peak after the outbreak of the Second World War in the Muggle world. He was really practicing his ideas, and, this idea seemed to be really possible to realize in the early days of World War II!The status of wizards, the situation of Muggles, iron and blood and war, together pushed Grindelwald to the highest throne.

At the same time, rumors began to spread.Rumors say that Grindelwald never entered England because of Dumbledore, rumors that Grindelwald was afraid of Dumbledore, rumors that Dumbledore should fight Grindelwald to end the war.The Dark Lord has never known how these rumors came about, and who is behind the scenes?Who can really understand the entanglement between two people?Even he, after the death of Dumbledore in his previous life, learned some secret past events through the excavation of the gossip reporter Rita Skeeter.

No matter who is behind the scenes, the rumors become true as they spread too much. Dumbledore was almost coerced by public opinion to stand on the duel field, and the defeat of the Axis powers in World War II also brought about the ebb of the power of the saints.When Tom Riddle was in the fifth grade, under the attention of the whole world, the two had a decisive battle.In the end, Dumbledore won and Grindelwald was imprisoned in Nurmengard.Dumbledore stepped on Grindelwald's reputation to stand at the top of the wizarding world.

Walking on the dark and narrow corridor of Nurmengard, and then spiraling up the stone stairs, the sound of footsteps is particularly obvious in the empty tower.The cleaning magic is still maintaining its role, brushing off the dust on the handrail of the stairs, but in the corners where the magic can't cover, the spiders have already formed a dense silk web.

This place has been abandoned by the times.

Dumbledore, Grindelwald, the Dark Lord has always had some hidden feelings for these two, mixed with unspeakable admiration, ambition instead, and contempt for winners and losers. Even he himself can't figure out how he looks at them These two "predecessors".

During the years he entered the school, Dumbledore was his transfiguration teacher. Tom Riddle witnessed him become the uncrowned king of the wizarding world from an academically accomplished British professor, and he still had a relationship with him even after his decisive battle to the top. More than two years of close contact; and Grindelwald is the object of longing for all those who are not willing to be ordinary. His ideas have deeply influenced his young self. His power, means, and prestige tempt the buds of ambition all the time. .

The Dark Lord stopped at the top of the tower and knocked politely on the door of his cell.

"Who is it?" A slightly hoarse voice came from the cell.

Magic power flows in the air, weaving traces of bondage.The Dark Lord is no stranger to the magic lock of this cell. In his previous life, he almost tore down the prison, broke into this cell, and then gave the former king of the cell an Avadassus Life.

Of course, the method of dismantling the prison is too rough. Now that he knows how the magic power of the prison works, maybe he can try a more refined method.

The yew wood wand gently waved in the air, and the magic power drew delicate traces along the track of will, as if the most brilliant conductor controlled his band like a finger, playing melodious and moving music.

After the song was over, the door opened with a "click".The Dark Lord bowed slightly to the old man in the cell to show his respect: "Mr. Grindelwald, your junior is taking the liberty to visit."

Grindelwald, who was half leaning on the bed, showed a clear smile to the Dark Lord: "Ah, it's you, you're here. I think it's time for you to come too..."

Very familiar opening remarks, it seems that when he met Grindelwald for the first time in his previous life, he also said a similar sentence.The Dark Lord shrugged and entered the cell.The whole room was poor and simple. The Dark Lord glanced over the cold stone table, low stone chair, wooden bookshelf and the thin blanket on Grindelwald's body, but he couldn't find a suitable place for discussion.He raised his eyebrows, held the yew wood wand and tapped the stone chair lightly, transforming it into a silver-green high-back carved chair, and then sat on it: "It feels like this place doesn't match your identity. "

Grindelwald pulled the thin blanket on his body indifferently, and leaned on the head of the bed relaxedly: "What identity do I have? I'm just an old man who has made many mistakes and is in repentance."

"You are too modest," said the Dark Lord. "After all, you were the Demon Lord who occupied Europe for more than half a century. Until now, there are still remnants of your power in Europe."

Grindelwald responded with a smile: "It is very boring to talk about the glory of the past, because once it passes, it will never come back."

"Although the past has passed, the traces will be engraved on the long river of history." What's more, what I pursue is eternal life, and only eternity can retain the glory of time.The Dark Lord paused, swallowed the second half of the sentence, and said bluntly, "Mr. Grindelwald, let us stop going around, I came to you because I am in Europe I feel your shadow."

It has been more than 40 years since the decisive battle that Grindelwald failed. It stands to reason that no matter how big and brilliant the forces should be dispersed, but recently, when the main attack direction of the Death Eaters changed from England to the continent of Europa, they discovered that However, there is a shadowy and very unobvious behind-the-scenes man behind certain things, and the tracking clues point all the way to the saints organization that should have been disbanded long ago.

Moreover, this is something that he didn't discover at all in his previous life, and only discovered the clue after his rebirth.Perhaps in some matters in the previous life, the saint also had a very covert intervention, but at that time he did not have enough calmness and reason to distinguish the tiny traces, which made him not realize the reasons for certain things in the past until now.

This straight ball from the Dark Lord made Gellert Grindelwald laugh cheerfully. Instead of making a direct answer, he picked up the newspaper beside the bed, waved it at the Dark Lord schematically, and provoked Another topic: "I have been reading the "Daily Prophet". The writers you have found are of a very good level, and their ability to bewitch is top-notch. The Muggle threat theory is also more convincing than my wizard supremacy theory at that time."

"Oh?" The Dark Lord took up the topic calmly, "I heard you right, are you praising me?"

"Yes, I'm flattering you," Grindelwald put the newspaper on the bed, "Sorcerer Supremacy, aggressive in nature, is ruthless, and allows for the giving up of some other things for the greater good; As for the Muggle threat theory, at least on the surface, it is resistant, you see, protecting the homeland is much more reasonable than launching a war of aggression, it is more just, and occupies the highest moral point, it is really a very good theory."

The Dark Lord raised his eyebrows, he had a premonition that a "but" would follow.

Sure enough, Grindelwald sat up straight and asked seriously: "But—but I must ask you, are you ready?"

The blue but old and calm eyes and the crimson but ambitious eyes looked at each other, and the atmosphere in the room became oppressive for a moment.The Dark Lord understood the subtext of this sentence. Whether it is wizard supremacy or Muggle threat theory, no matter what they look like on the surface, in essence, they are all confrontational, which means that the Muggle world and the wizard world are at odds. conflict, even war.

The Dark Lord smiled, and his long black hair waved slightly with his movements: "Sooner or later, there will be such a day."

"Ah." Grindelwald relaxed his body and leaned back on the bed, he sighed, "I have stayed in Nurmengard for more than 40 years, at the beginning I didn't think I was wrong, I was ambitious plotted to escape from prison and make a comeback... However, in the last few years I have started to repent. I have really started to repent."

He raised his head and looked at the Dark Lord sitting on the carved chair beside the bed: "Do you know what I'm confessing?"

Shouldn't the plan back then be too urgent?Shouldn't Hitler be trusted?Shouldn't Dumbledore have promised a duel?Should it start with the UK in advance?Countless answers flowed through the Dark Lord's mind, but he felt that none of them were answers.He shook his head: "I think what I think may not be your answer."

This sentence made Grindelwald smile: "I also feel..." Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden "pop" sound, and a note suddenly flashed in the air, interrupting his words.

The Dark Lord stood up with a sullen face, took the note in the air, and opened it to read.He seemed to have received some very bad news, his brows were slightly frowned, and his face darkened completely.

Grindelwald sighed regretfully: "It seems that you have something urgent, we have to save it for the next time."

"I'm very sorry," the Dark Lord nodded signally to Grindelwald, turned around and left the cell in a hurry, preparing to go to a place where he can apparate or use the Floo Network for space transfer, "I will come back as soon as possible to continue this time chat."

"You can take my question just now as a parting gift," Grindelwald waved at his back, "I look forward to seeing you next time."

"Goodbye."

The author has something to say: In the last chapter, a lot of little angels had doubts, all because of the author's lazy cancer attack on the weekend, I didn't read the comments before, and I only saw it when I updated today...

First of all, there are indeed some loopholes in the plot of the previous chapter. I will make some changes tonight. The overall outline will not change. Loopholes will be filled.

Secondly, this article has the following reading methods:

1. Don't completely believe what Moriarty said, it is his nature to lie.

2. Don't completely believe what the Dark Lord says, he is well versed in half-truths and half-truths.

3. Don't completely believe in Harry's cognition, his cognition is still relatively one-sided.

... Can anyone believe it after reading the whole book like this?

In short, the plot will unfold slowly, the author's mind is wide open, welcome to discuss the plot~

Finally, I would like to thank the little angels for their comments. I wrote too much yesterday, and some things were not considered completely. I am very sorry!Thank you for your support!

GG appeared on the stage, I have been envious of him for a long time, and I can finally release him~
