Chapter 516 Show, declare
Returning to youth is a very dreamy topic.
Only those who are young can and can squander their youth unscrupulously.As they grow older and accumulate regrets, if they can be given a chance to do it again, they will not hesitate.
However, even in the wizarding world, returning to youth and becoming immortal still sounds like a fantasy.The only immortal they came into contact with was Nico Flamel.And people who have really come into contact with Nico Flamel will be more cautious about immortality.After all, that kind of longevity seemed quite different from the longevity they had imagined before.
"grown ups!"
Orson looked at the old man in front of him who had completely returned to the feeling of his memory back then, with ripples in his eyes.For so many years, they endured humiliation and endured many hardships. Finally, their hard work and struggle were not in vain. They finally achieved their original goal.
They welcomed back the person who could lead them to a new future.
Angel looked at the rejuvenated Grindelwald in front of him, his eyes slightly condensed.Although he couldn't see anything strange, the feeling of dissonance kept beating in his heart.It was hard for him to think that it was a simple illusion.
"Sir, you..."
Orson's words were interrupted by Grindelwald raising his hand.
"The enemy is coming, Orson, stop our people and don't let them be attacked by surprise."
Grindelwald gave Orson his first order.After hearing this, Orson suppressed his excitement as much as possible, bowed to Grindelwald, and then turned around and left the room.
Angel did not receive the order, so he lowered his head and continued to stay in the room.He could feel that Grindelwald's eyes were resting on him at this time.
In addition to the uneasiness in his heart, there was also a sense of oppression brought by powerful magic from the outside world.After all, beside him is Grindelwald.
"You no longer agree with the concept of saints, right?"
Grindelwald's voice sounded quite peaceful, at least there was no hint of indifference or annoyance in it.When Angel heard this, he lowered his head.
"Sir, I am different from Orson. I don't have such a deep understanding to begin with. At the same time, in the work I have been doing over the years, I have to deal with Muggles a lot. I have witnessed the rapid growth of Muggles. Every time I go to Muggle society after being isolated in the wizarding world for a period of time, it always feels refreshing."
"Sir, I also thought that Muggles were a group of inferior people. They caused wars, destruction, massacres, and imprisonment. Muggles should indeed be inferior to wizards. It is unfair for wizards to hide because of these people. .”
"However, I really don't think so now. There are also many outstanding people among Muggles, and the overall strength of Muggles now may be stronger than that of the wizarding world. Although we can restrict those Muggles with our personal strength The upper levels among them use this to gain a certain amount of initiative. But if the fight with the other party reaches the point of death, I don’t think the wizard will have the last laugh.”
Angel raised his head and looked at Grindelwald, his eyes firm and calm: "I don't think the idea of saints is correct now. But I haven't found any idea that can be implemented. I don't know how to deal with wizards and The relationship between Muggles. But... I know that it is fundamentally wrong and unfeasible to let wizards enslave Muggles."
Angel's words were impactful, and after he finished speaking, he felt a lot more relaxed.It makes no sense for nobles to rely on saints to maintain their rule.There must be people among the saints who believe in the supremacy of pure blood.However, those are the minority after all.More saints have escaped the distinction between pure blood, mixed blood and Muggle birth.All they care about is the difference between wizards and Muggles.
In a sense, saints and purists are equally enemies.
"You might have a point."
Grindelwald said something that surprised Angel.He originally thought that his deviant words would make Grindelwald angry.However... being so calm was indeed what he expected.After all, Grindelwald's style and goals are indeed quite rejected by the mainstream concepts of the wizarding world.But for Grindelwald, even if he had been an enemy, as long as he did not have any grudge against him, anyone who could give a fair evaluation would not belittle this person excessively.
If he succeeds, he will be a great man in the wizarding world.What he did wrong was simply that he failed.
Therefore, the fact that Grindelwald could say such a thing only surprised Angel, not the reason for shock.
"Thank you for your understanding."
Angel bowed to express his thanks.He knew that when Grindelwald said these words, he naturally agreed to his idea of quitting the saints.Although the idea has not yet been spoken.But Grindelwald had already seen through him.
"Do you know what Luke Gaunt's thoughts are?"
Grindelwald raised this question again.After a moment of silence, Angel replied: "I just heard that it is to allow the wizarding world to start circulating. Some of the seats belonging to the nobility will be taken out and given to the emerging nobility and owners of magic factories. And let Civilian wizards also have the right to participate in the management of the wizarding world."
"I know a lot about the Muggle world, but his propaganda gave me a strong sense of déjà vu. It seemed like it was based on the reform of the Muggle political system."
Hearing this answer, Grindelwald silently shook his head.
"Isn't that right?" Angel asked with some confusion.
Grindelwald looked at the only window in the room. From there, he could see Orson leading the Saints' men to the door to set up defenses.
"Of course not. Luke Gunter is a smart man. Everyone in the Gunter family...most of them are smart people. If his goal is just this, then we are definitely not enemies with him."
"Even a magic factory needs enough labor if it wants to develop rapidly. Once wizards' rule over Muggles can be completed, the scarce labor resources in the wizarding world will be made up. This means that Luke What Gunter wants to see can be realized more easily. In other words, cooperating with us is his best choice. Now, he chooses to become our enemy, of course because of the conflict in ideas. "
Of course Grindelwald would not be fooled by the lies Luke told him.He easily thought that Luke's true philosophy must have something hidden.
After a moment, Grindelwald turned around and faced Angel again.
"I'll give you a task. After completing this task, you can do whatever you want."
Angel lowered his head and said respectfully, "Please tell me."
"Find out Luke Gunter's true philosophy and tell me. After that, you can do whatever you want. Whether it's returning to the Saints or joining Luke Gunter's camp. Or, you can find it. You can go in your own direction. You are free."
The request Grindelwald made was definitely not simple.But that's exactly what Angel wanted to do.He had already heard about the Death Eaters' ideals, and that was definitely not the future he wanted.So if he leaves the Saints now and considers joining an organization, the best choice is naturally Luke Gunter's lineup.
Before making this decision, he really needed to figure out what Luke Gunter wanted.
"Follow your orders."
Grindelwald nodded, and then said: "You can leave now. Since your identity has not been exposed, then you will not be exposed to the wizarding world."
Angel nodded, and then saw that Grindelwald, who was in front of him just now, suddenly disappeared from where he was.
Seeing this, Angel took a deep breath.There is indeed a prohibition against disembodiment here.But now it seems that this level of restriction will not be able to restrain a wizard of Grindelwald's level after all.
But... Angel also frowned.
"It seems that the 'Fountain of Youth' does have serious drawbacks."
If the disadvantages of the Fountain of Youth were not too great, then Grindelwald would not care about Luke Gunter's ideas.What meaning do other people's ideas mean to him?He has been insisting on his will for so many years.Whether this will is right or wrong, it doesn't matter anymore.Because that's his life.
Orson is like this, let alone Grindelwald.
Thinking like this, Angel also understood what he should do now. Compared with the confusion before, he finally had more motivation.
………………
At the gate of the prison, Orson looked at the Aurors who appeared one after another with disdain in his eyes.This is the corrupt wizarding authority of today.Such a big thing happened in Nurmengard, but we didn't come here until now.And judging from the opponent's state, it was obvious that he was unprepared.
"decay."
Orson commented disdainfully.Then, with a stern look on his face, he pulled out his wand and led the saints behind him into a fighting stance.
"Show Lord Grindelwald your determination."
Orson's loud shouts and the chorus of responses from the saints behind him still made the Aurors who were approaching step by step cautiously stop.
"Logically speaking, this prison cannot trap Grindelwald."
An old Auror with white beard and hair looked at the excited saints in front of him with a very solemn expression: "The only one who can let Grindelwald stay in this prison with peace of mind is himself. Therefore, the other party's prison robbery operation is It won't work. Because it's not the prison they're dealing with. It's Grindelwald himself."
"But looking at the situation in front of me, I don't think they have failed." Beside him, a middle-aged Auror said with an equally solemn expression: "According to the information we have obtained, the person in charge is the current The leader of the Saints, Orson. He has always been entrenched in North America and kept a low profile. So we have never made any effort to find him. But now it seems that we have finally tasted the consequences of letting such a person go."
The middle-aged Auror's tone was a little heavy.It is obvious that he deeply regrets the current situation.But there is no way, everyone cannot make a perfect move when making a decision.It may be due to lack of knowledge when I was young, it may be due to temporary wrong emotions, or it may be due to external pressure.
Regret runs through life.And regret is useless.
"Attack? You two?" A bald Auror frowned and said, "The other party seems to be ready to wake up."
"Then are we ready to wake up?"
The old Auror chuckled and said, "Are you ready to face the awareness of death?"
The two people around him fell silent at the same time.It is impossible for a person who becomes an Auror to say that he is not prepared to die.After all, Auror is the most dangerous profession in the wizarding world after gloves and dark wizards.
but……
"Such a death is meaningless." The middle-aged Auror said calmly, "If Grindelwald had not escaped, then they would be clowns now. Even if they escaped, we would be confident enough to arrest them one by one."
"And if Grindelwald escapes, then even if we kill all the saints here, the mission will still be failed."
The bald wizard nodded when he heard this and said: "Then arrange for people to fly into Nurmengard. Presumably those defense equipment have also been destroyed by the saints. Now, our best choice is to find out whether Grindelwald escaped from the cell. Important mission.”
The old Auror and the middle-aged Auror nodded together, approving the arrangement.
But just when the bald Auror was about to arrange the order.In front of them, a wizard who didn't look very old but had a very calm aura suddenly appeared.
The wizard had lustrous gray-white hair and a pair of blue eyes that were as beautiful and deep as the sea in the sun.
The middle-aged wizard felt that the man in front of him looked familiar.In other words, he had some guesses, but he was not sure because of the strange state of the other party.However, the old Auror's eyes widened the moment he saw the other party, and then he suddenly raised his hand towards the Aurors behind him who were ready to attack.
"Stop!"
He ordered loudly.
The Aurors behind him stopped.They also had some bad premonitions in their hearts.Not only because of the orders from superiors, but also because of the terrifying sense of oppression on the other side.
Grindelwald looked at the Aurors in front of him and said nothing. He just turned around and waved his arms.
Then, blue flames emerged from the walls of Nurmengard and began to burn rapidly.
Soon, the blue flames covered the entire prison, turning the night blue.
The flames roared angrily, as if announcing someone's return.
