[HP] Return to original form

Compared to Azkaban, which was built on an isolated island, Nurmengard seemed to be much more relaxed. There was only a huge castle with three towers standing on the edge of the cliff. There was no wall outside the castle, and it looked lonely.

The entire castle is directly stacked as if it were cut with a gray limestone axe, and it looks simple and extremely strong.There is not a single gap on the outer wall, except for an opening at the gate. Above the gate is an unusually eye-catching cyan granite with gorgeous inscriptions carved on it:

"It would all be for the greater good."

Before the end of the semester, Evan asked his subordinates to contact the saints. After persuading the saints to let Evan meet directly with Grindelwald, Evan rushed here as soon as he left Hogwarts.At this moment, Evan looked up at the inscription on the stone tablet, and couldn't help thinking for a long time.

This creed, which has influenced nearly half a century - "for the greater good" is the idea put forward by Gellert Grindelwald.Because of this goal, Grindelwald and Dumbledore came together, and also parted ways because of this goal, and finally even drew their swords to face each other. One was imprisoned in Nurmengard, and the other shrank in Hogwarts.

I just don’t know if Grindelwald engraved this creed on the prison gate to show his lifelong pursuit, or if he misses Dumbledore...

Seeing Evan meditate on the inscription for a long time, Lucius stood respectfully behind Evan and waited, but the saint who was being ushered had no intention of waiting, after all, the agreed meeting time was not far away.

"Mr. Voldemort, I think the layout inside Nurmengard will interest you more." The old man reminded Evan tactfully.If Evan hadn't found them and said that he could persuade the master to step out of Nurmengard, he would never have arranged for the master to meet them.Although the Death Eaters are very powerful in the UK, and even Voldemort is called the second generation of the Dark Lord after his master, but in the eyes of the saints, the Death Eaters are really naive. Except for the abuse of Muggles, there is no evidence of Death Eaters. The significance of the existence of gangsters, it seems that everything is done according to the leader's preferences.As soon as the leader was defeated, the Death Eaters fell and scattered. It was really a mess.

Although the Death Eaters have acted more calmly and gracefully in recent years, in terms of their influence, they are really incomparable with the saints.As a core member of the saints, the old man naturally had his pride. He really couldn't show respect to Voldemort, who looked like a child. Treating him with courtesy was enough.

Evan was not annoyed when someone disturbed his thoughts, and slowly looked away.Lucius took a step forward with a wink, stopped in front of the old man, and said with a smile, "Please lead the way."

The other party didn't say anything more, and cast a spell on the door, and the heavy door slowly moved away, and Evan and his party walked in under the leadership of the old man.

After walking a few steps, a few people walked onto a platform with an area of ​​about two acres, surrounded by high walls, and could only see the square sky.There are stone steps connecting all around, and there are hole-shaped windows and iron gates with iron bars on the walls on both sides of the stone steps, which are the cells for convicts.

The old man Wagner led Evan obliquely across the platform, through the dark, narrow corridor, and there were two thick iron gates not far apart. Walking in was equivalent to entering the inside of the prison.

The inside of the prison was unexpectedly clean and tidy. The magic lamps on the walls faintly illuminated the dark corridors, but without sunlight, there was always a gloomy and chilling feeling.

Wagner chanted the incantation all the way with a serious face, and carefully led a few people to climb along the winding corridor. The path was winding like walking in a deep mountain canyon.

The leader, Wagner, was so serious, and the rest of them were also silent, fearing that it would affect the old man's solution to the curse. Along the way, they could quietly hear the vaguely painful groans coming from the cell.Evan carefully perceives that there are many magic traps around, some of which are visible in front of others, and some are hidden in unexpected corners. A slight negligence will trigger a chain spell reaction. Wagner only lifted the spell in the middle of the corridor along the way. It is convenient for people to walk through.It seems that the security of Nurmengard Prison really lives up to its reputation.

Passing through many levels and passing the spiral staircase, several people finally climbed to the top of the tower.The cell in front of him looked no different from other cells. There was only a hole-like window blocked by an iron fence on the thick iron door. The only difference was that the situation inside could not be seen through the iron fence.

Seeing this ordinary iron gate, Wagner's expression was obviously much more respectful.He leaned slightly, stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door three times, then returned to the original place and waited quietly.

After a long time, a deep and magnetic voice came from inside: "Schroeder, you disobeyed my order."

"Sorry, master." Even though the people inside couldn't see, Wagner bowed deeply towards the iron door, "Mr. Voldemort of England requests to see you."

"I don't see anyone." Grindelwald refused directly.

"It's about that person." Wagner said meaningfully.

After a long silence, the iron door slowly opened, but Wagner did not step forward, but only motioned for Evan to go in alone.

Wagner stopped Lucius, who wanted to keep up, and Evan hinted with his eyes not to move rashly, and walked into the cell alone with steady steps.

No matter where he went, it was Evan's habit to look at the environment first, but this time, his attention was first attracted by the blond man sitting on the edge of the bed reading a book.Grindelwald looked very different from Dumbledore. He only looked like a middle-aged man in appearance. He just sat quietly by the bed, with a kind of silent power.

Seeing Grindelwald reading a book by himself, without any intention of welcoming him, Evan simply looked at the cell that he hadn't observed just now.The room was not decorated gorgeously because of Grindelwald's stay. On the contrary, it was very simple. There was only a single bed with a thin quilt and a low table with paper and pens next to it for writing. The only valuable thing in the whole room was probably the one against the wall. The huge bookcase is full of books.It seems that Grindelwald has really been living an ascetic life these years.

Such a straightforward look did not shake Grindelwald in the slightest, and Evan said straight to the point: "I'm here to ask for cooperation."

"I'm just a little prisoner now, there's nothing worthy of your cooperation." Grindelwald didn't even look at Evan, and calmly turned a page of the book.

Evan smiled meaningfully, walked to the bookcase, and slowly slid his index finger across the spine of the book: "Utopia, The Wealth of Nations, Sun Tzu's Art of War, Social Contract Theory, One Hundred Years of Solitude..." Evan raised his eyebrows, "It involves a wide range of fields, and They are all rare and good books among Muggles. I never thought Mr. Grindelwald, the Dark Lord who was once in power, would be interested in Muggle books."

Grindelwald raised his head at this time, and looked at Evan who was not as tall as him with interest: "I have been in the cell for a long time, and I always have to find a little hobby for myself. But Mr. Voldemort seems to be familiar with these Muggle knowledge. Interested too?"

Seeing that Grindelwald was still making a detour, Evan curled his lips, and simply turned around to look at him: "This pile of newspapers from various countries in the magical world is not as simple as a hobby, Mr. Grindelwald... you really willing to 'self-imprison' in this tiny cell?"

The slow voice of "self-imprisonment" made Grindelwald's eyes sharpen instantly: "Isn't it because Dumbledore defeated me that I was imprisoned here?"

"If you are not willing, can the prison you built with your own hands really hold you?" Evan walked up to Grindelwald step by step, and said softly: "For the greater good...you are really willing to give up for Dumbledore Abandon this creed?"

Grindelwald smiled for the first time: "There are many things you don't understand."

Evan couldn't understand the meaning of his smile, so he directly uncovered Grindelwald's scars: "But you can't do anything just by staying here, Dumbledore has always known that you are self-imprisoned here, but never visited you."

Grindelwald shook his head, and rarely confided his heart: "This is my own business and has nothing to do with him. I have been here for 46 years, and I don't think I will go out in the future."

Grindelwald could easily say the number "46 years", but Evan couldn't ignore the heavy loneliness, desolation and patience behind this number. He suddenly didn't know if he could persuade Grindelwald.

After being silent for a while, Evan threw out his hole card: "Your creed may not be able to coexist with Dumbledore."

Grindelwald shifted his gaze to Evan seemingly calmly, but Evan could still see the shock in it.

Since he can be shaken, he is not afraid that he will not take the bait.Evan said sincerely: "I think, if you were able to fight together for this creed, then Dumbledore must still support this creed. Your parting ways may not be because your original measures were too radical." Evan There is no mention of Dumbledore's sister, and it is assumed that the two parted ways mainly because of different ideas.

Seeing Grindelwald listening carefully, Evan was full of confidence: "I think the domination of Muggles is a long-term process, and the main problem is the large number of Muggles and the rapid development of technology. Tens of thousands of people, can they really rule Muggles through war? Especially the wizarding world is not united and united, and there are even Muggle-protecting factions like Dumbledore."

Grindelwald retorted: "This will only be against Dumbledore forever."

"So, we can start from the side. When everyone believes in 'for the greater good', will Dumbledore really not be shaken?" Evan analyzed, seeing Grindelwald listening carefully, he was very interested A sense of accomplishment, "I want to read so many Muggle books, you should clearly see that the wizarding world is now unevenly distributed, capital is basically in the hands of the nobles, and the gap between the rich and the poor is too big, so the contradiction is so deep. But the fact is that Most of the world's resources are not in the hands of wizards, but in the hands of Muggles."

"When we do practical things with the credo of 'for the greater good', reallocate resources, introduce Muggle technology, and improve the living conditions of all wizards... At that time, the benefited wizards will subtly accept us You will even feel satisfied and invade the Muggle world spontaneously. Besides, don’t you think it’s better to control the Muggles by sneaking into the upper echelons of the Muggle world than to start a violent war?” Evan approached Grindelwald, He whispered seductively in his ear, "Boil the frog in warm water, can Dumbledore really stop us by then? Maybe he will rekindle his youthful passion and join us."

Grindelwald thought about the feasibility of the plan quickly, and his eyes gradually became brighter and sharper. Evan felt that his temperament seemed to have changed in an instant, and he seemed to be freed from the shackles and became energetic.

Evan remained considerately silent, sat down next to him, picked up the book he had set aside and continued reading. The Count of Monte Cristo...is a good book, isn't it?

Sev, this is just the first step of revenge...

The author has something to say: I’m so excited, I actually received the hairpin from Lan Linglishang, the Queen Mother of the West, and the landmines thrown by the little PP who likes to eat meat~~~I’m so touched~~

I voted for Lan Linglishang years ago, and I just found out that there are three hairpins of the Empress Dowager Xi who voted for three at once. I am so sorry for not being able to update + reply in time~~

The dialogue between the two bosses is really too tangled, and it can only be written like this in the end. I hope Grindelwald is still domineering. . . .Looking up at the sky. . .
