Chapter 515 1 Drink up
Why would that guy hand over the so-called fountain of youth to them so easily?
Angel is still confused.I have no idea what the purpose of that guy's actions is.If you understand it from normal logic, the things you give to your enemies without any restrictions are often not good things.
Therefore, the greatest possibility is that this thing may not be the fountain of youth, but more likely some kind of poison or even a curse.Perhaps this thing has some properties of the Fountain of Youth, but it is definitely not the kind of magical object that makes people stay young forever and live forever.
Angel couldn't figure out what was going on here.Time is running out.This is the only fountain of youth he can get.Grindelwald is old.He is too old.Moreover, along with time, what devastated the old man was the environment in the prison and the old wounds from that year.Dumbledore is still able to awe wizards to this day, and more importantly, of course, he accumulates prestige.
Everyone knows that Dumbledore is old, but no one knows what Dumbledore can achieve if he goes all out.Moreover, every time Dumbledore appeared in front of everyone, he always looked energetic, even a bit like an old naughty boy, extremely lively, and did not look like he was about to end his life at all.
After all, Dumbledore was able to get timely treatment.There may still be some hidden wounds left at that time, but they were treated as much as possible.It won't cause any terrible harm to his body.Moreover, Dumbledore lived among students. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, those youthful and lively atmosphere would naturally be infected with him.It cannot be denied that a young mentality has an impact on a person's physical condition.And the influence is usually in a good direction.
In other words, if the current Grindelwald wants to confront Dumbledore head-on, he will never win in a protracted battle.And even a wave of raids may not necessarily lead to victory.
Thinking of this, Angel glanced at the bottle in his hand.If the Fountain of Youth is not contained here, then no matter what they want to do, they will end up with nothing more than the moon in the mirror.
Ideals without strength are just empty talk.
Angel took a deep breath.He has moved on from the struggles of his youth.Now he is no longer a passionate young man.Time and years have not left many traces on his face.But the fire in his heart has turned into embers.
but……
"Just do what I have to do."
Angel said to himself after sighing.
Then, he walked out of the castle, took a door key from the man guarding the door, and then disappeared.
………………
In front of us is Nurmengard.
Angel also had an impression of this place.He was still very young at that time.
Neither he nor Orson really followed Grindelwald in all directions.They are reserve personnel, influenced by their parents and even grandparents, who became saints and worshiped Grindelwald.
Orson was taken care of by Grindelwald.He was not the first leader of the Saints after Grindelwald was imprisoned.He is the second term, and the second term directly selected by the first term.It can be said that the care and expectations that Orson received in the Saints organization are far beyond what Angel can compare with.
Now, Angel is still in the Saints organization entirely because he doesn't know where he should go and because of his friendship with Orson.
"Master Angel!"
The two young wizards guarding the door bowed to Angel.
The people they can follow Orson to rob the prison this time are Orson's true confidants.Of course, they also know that the person that Lord Osun trusts the most is the person in front of them who rarely appears in front of them, but who controls another hidden force behind the scenes, which is their real trump card.After Lord Grindelwald is reborn, there is no need to think hard about what position the man in front of him will have within the organization.
"Hello."
Angel greeted everyone politely and then walked into Nurmengard.
After he left, the saint guarding the prison door continued to look ahead warily.Nurmengard is located in a dangerous terrain. If outsiders want to enter, they can only enter through the main entrance.In other words, as long as there is an enemy approaching, there is only one path that the opponent can take.
And tonight, there will definitely be enemies approaching.
Their actions were hidden from the senior people in the wizarding world, but not from the senior people within their organization.Unfortunately, not everyone in the organization is happy to see Lord Grindelwald get out of trouble.
They knew very well that there would soon be a tough battle here.
Angel entered the tower and climbed up the stairs step by step towards the top of the tower. On the way, he saw the saints who entered the tower. They were also very polite when they saw Angel. He saluted and then disappeared from his eyes.Everyone has their own things to be busy with.Angel seems to be quite busy too.After all, he was running around today, so he had completed his mission.
It didn't take long for him to reach the top.Although he saw some bad things downstairs, he did not stop them after all.Although he didn't speak, he couldn't help but compare the saints he saw now with the saints he knew back then.
In fact, there is not much difference, it is just that the earliest saints seemed calmer on some things.And these saints now even feel a little excited when they kill people.
Angel was not sure why this happened, but one thing was certain.That is the huge gap between the saints now and the saints before.
But this has little to do with him.I believe that after Lord Grindelwald takes over the Saints, he will be able to easily solve these problems.
With this in mind, he knocked on the only door on the top floor.
"Click."
The door opened and Orson appeared in the doorway.He immediately looked down at Angel's hand.When he saw the golden bottle from there, he couldn't hide the excitement on his face.
"Hahaha! Great! Angel, you got it! Great!"
To be honest, when he saw Orson appear at the door, his heart was already in his throat. After seeing Angel's calm and slightly lost expression, he suddenly felt like a disaster was coming. In the end, , when he saw the golden bottle, his mood flew straight up as if he were sitting on a broomstick.
"Don't be too happy."
Angel couldn't see his friend's usual calmness and composure at all, but it was understandable that such mood swings from great joy to great sorrow to great joy would hardly keep a person from losing control.
Angel looked at the old man who was sitting on the chair with a calm expression. Even though he was in a miserable state, he still had the majesty on his body.
"Lord Grindelwald."
Angel saluted respectfully to the old man in front of him. No matter what, the man in front of him was the leader of their saints.A leader in the true sense of the word.Moreover, even after enduring the brilliance he had imagined before, this old man still gave him the feeling that he could not fight against it.Therefore, even if he has lost interest in those so-called beliefs, he will still respect this strength.
"Following Orson's order, I retrieved the 'Fountain of Youth', but a lot of things happened during this period that I need to explain to you."
Angel didn't pay attention to Orson's burning eyes, and just said calmly to Grindelwald.
Orson heard something was wrong from his words, and the excitement and fanaticism on his face gradually subsided. He also knew that it was not the end yet.
Grindelwald nodded, looked at the 'little guy' with an attitude that was neither humble nor arrogant, and said, "Tell me, what do you think is wrong?"
Angel started with the clues he was looking for for the Fountain of Youth, and told how he found the compass and the boat, and entered the island where the Fountain of Youth should be.Then he talked about tonight's actions, Doragon's strange state, and the strange origin of the fountain of youth in his hand.
He explained everything in detail, without giving any of his own thoughts, but simply stating the facts.He weakened the presence of his own subjective will in these matters as much as possible to prevent his judgment from affecting Grindelwald's judgment.
After he told everything one by one, Grindelwald also fell into silence.
Something is wrong, so wrong.In the process of going to find the island where the Fountain of Life is located, someone is definitely adding fuel to the fire.This person must have considerable power in the Muggle world and have considerable knowledge of them.There are not many such people to be found, so it should be easy to rule them out, but now I can't think of anyone who might be a suspect.
As for what happened tonight, it was even more fishy.Just like Angel's previous concerns.Who would really give their enemy, an enemy who wants to kill themselves, a seal on what they are after?
Unless the thing they are pursuing can allow this person to kill his enemy.
At this time, Orson's look at the golden bottle was quite complicated.Whether it contained a fountain of youth or a poison, no one could tell.However, he did not give up thinking. After thinking for a moment, he said:
"Is there such a possibility? The enemy of my enemy is my friend. What he wants to deal with most is not us, but Luke Gunter?"
Upon hearing this speculation, Angel was unmoved at all. He just looked at Grindelwald and said, "Sir, I have told you everything I know and have done."
With that said, Angel stepped forward and placed the gold bottle in his hand on the table.
"As for what decision will be made, I have no right to comment."
After speaking, Angel retreated to his seat. Although his words were extremely respectful, the alienation was also visible to the naked eye.Orson glanced at his friend with some doubts. Although he could feel the instability of Angel's faith before, the degree of instability is now a bit too high. Judging from the current situation, even today It is not difficult to understand why Angel quit the Saints after the incident.
But after Orson breathed a long sigh of relief, he still focused his attention on Lord Grindelwald.He didn't know now whether to advise Lord Grindelwald to drink it or not.
After all, it is really unclear what is inside.
Grindelwald's expression was quite calm. He took the golden bottle, opened the cork, and saw the water inside that glowed faintly.
When the cork was opened, a breath of life came from the bottle.Orson felt that his body felt much lighter.The gaze he looked at the bottle couldn't help but become a little fiery.
Angel, on the other hand, frowned after a brief moment of confusion.
"Sir, I didn't feel this way when I opened the bottle."
At that time, he only felt that it was ordinary water. The only abnormality was that Rhett, who had lost his vitality, was thirsty for this bottle of water.But now, the influence of this water seems to be stronger.
Grindelwald nodded, and then said nothing. He just brought the bottle to his mouth, then raised his head and drank all the water in the bottle.
Orson subconsciously raised his hand, trying to persuade Lord Grindelwald to think again.But before the words reached his lips, Orson swallowed them back.Isn't the situation in front of him exactly what he wants to see?
The situation of the saints he described to Grindelwald before was indeed somewhat exaggerated.But in fact, it is not too exaggerated.After all, the current situation is indeed not optimistic.Even if Orson can handle those guys inside the Saints, he'll have a hard time handling Luke Gunter.
Luke Gunter's current strength has reached a level that he cannot resist.If Lord Grindelwald fails in this attempt, they will take action to wipe them out after a while, when Luke Gunter feels the time is right.
And if Lord Grindelwald doesn't try now, what awaits Lord Grindelwald will be his natural death in a few years, and the destruction of the entire saints.
They are already at the edge of the cliff.
Grindelwald put the bottle back on the table, his expression still calm.
But his body was not so calm anymore.The skinny limbs are rapidly expanding and growing.The body that was originally a little rickety quickly straightened up.The gray and lifeless hair quickly became full of vitality.
His face seemed to have been caressed by the hand of God, all the wrinkles had been smoothed, and his whole condition seemed to have returned to his youth.
Seeing this, Orson excitedly grabbed Angel's hand, but Angel's overall state was relatively calm. He looked at Grindelwald who had returned to youth before him, but he felt a sense of lack in it.
It's like...losing something.
