Chapter 771 The Price of Becoming the Dark Lord

"Albus, does Grindelwald live in here?"

(ω)

Fish looked up at the dark and gloomy tower in front of him and asked curiously, "But it looks like no one cleans this place."

"Because there is only Gellert imprisoned here now," Dumbledore explained softly, "So there are not only no other prisoners, but also no guards. It is completely dependent on the magic set by Gellert himself. Even the three meals are delivered directly to it by the house elves."

"The magic set by Grindelwald himself?"

(ω)

Fish scratched his head, then shook his ears twice and asked in surprise, "He can't even remove the magic he set? He is so powerful in your memory."

"Because his wand is in my hand now." Dumbledore shook the old wand in his hand, "And I don't think Gellert is really trapped by his own magic. As long as he wants, he should be able to get out at any time."

"In that case, why doesn't he escape?" Fish tilted his head in confusion.

Dumbledore raised his head and looked at the line of text above the entrance, and said with emotion: "He probably just... simply doesn't want to come out..."

"Why? It's so boring inside, and there's no one else to play with him." Fish was even more confused.

Although most of the time, Maomao can lie down and sleep alone, or find something to kill a lot of time, he still prefers to stay with Professor McGonagall, Hermione, and other friends.

This time, Dumbledore just smiled lightly, and did not answer Maomao's question again, but took him directly to the interior of Nurmengard.

"You can ask Gellert about this question yourself when you see him later."

When the two passed the wide-open door, the air rippled like water waves, and a cold feeling similar to passing through Platform Nine and Three-Quarters swept over Fish's body, causing Maomao to shiver subconsciously, and the hair on his ears and tail stood up involuntarily.

The interior of the tower was as shabby as the outside, with dust and cobwebs everywhere. The monotonous black stone slabs separated one dark and narrow room after another. There was only a simple hard bed in each room, and nothing else.

"Fluorescent flashes." Dumbledore lit his wand.

After all, he was not like Fish, who could see the road clearly in such a dim environment.

Dumbledore, holding his wand high, walked directly to the black stone steps in the corner, and said to Fish as he walked: "Follow me, Gellert lives on the top floor here."

The monotonous environment in the tower quickly made Mao Mao lose interest, so after looking around, he followed Dumbledore obediently and walked upstairs with him.

Dumbledore's pace was not fast, but it was not slow either, but Mao Mao did not have the patience to accompany him to climb the stairs slowly. After leaving a sentence "Fish, go up and see meow first", Mao Mao passed the slow Dumbledore and rushed to the top floor.

=(=(ω=(ω)

Even though he didn't cast an extra speed-up spell on himself, it didn't take much time for Feixu to climb the ten or so flights of stairs, so he soon arrived at the top floor of the black tower.

There was only one cell on the top floor of the tower, which was tightly sealed by a wooden door covered with thick iron sheets. Unlike the main door, the iron sheet on this wooden door had no rust at all, but was so smooth that it could reflect a person's shadow. The wrapped wooden door also had no signs of decay, and it was even difficult to find a worm hole on it.

Feixu stood After looking at the door, I found that it didn't have a door lock, not even a door hinge. The whole door seemed to be completely embedded in the surrounding black stone slabs, and there was no way to open it.

"Meow?" Mao Mao tilted his head in confusion, and then pulled out his wand, "Alacho opening! Meow!"

(ΦωΦ)つ━☆*.

The door naturally did not move. For a wizard prison, the anti-Alacho opening spell is the most basic of the basics.

But this did not bother Fish. Although he hadn't used that trick for a long time, it didn't mean that Mao Mao would be so good at it. Cat forgot.

Feishi first put his wand back into his pocket, then opened his hands, sharp claws slowly grew out from his fingertips, and then Cat easily stabbed these claws into the gaps on both sides of the wooden door...

[Beast Claw] + [Ant Strength] + [Bull Strength] + [Wild Strength] =

Feish McGonagall's Door-Opening Spell!

"Meow!"

ヽ(-`Д-)ノ

Cat Cat lifted his arms and took down the heavy wooden door without a lock or door hinge.

"Hey!"

Throwing the wooden door aside, Feishi He walked into the cell while clapping his hands.

The top cell was no different from the ones below, still dark and small, with only a small hard bed. There was no window in the room, or rather, a very narrow gap between the black stones should be the so-called window.

The faint moonlight came in through the gap, illuminating a light spot on the floor that was less than the size of a palm.

On the only hard bed in the room, an old man with a thin blanket was looking at Fei Xu who suddenly broke in with a look of surprise.

This old man was skinny, with sunken eye sockets, and almost all his hair and teeth. He looked like a skeleton, not at all as wild as Dumbledore remembered him.

"Meow?"

(ω)

Feishu scratched his hair and looked at the old man in front of him, suspecting that he might be looking in the wrong place.

"I think... you are the Fish McGonagall that Albus was talking about, right?" The skeleton-like old man spoke first.

"Yes, Meow." Maomao nodded, approached the old man, and asked curiously: "You are Meow Grindelwald? It looks different from the one in Albus's memory..."

"At this time, no one should want the identity of Gellert Grindelwald." Grindelwald opened his toothless mouth and replied with a smile.

However, Fei Xu still couldn't believe it, because the difference in appearance between the two people was so big. He tilted his head and carefully looked at the old man in front of him, and finally laid his eyes on the other man's bare head...

"Voldemort doesn't look much like he did when he was young, Meow! Will he be hairless after becoming the Dark Lord?"

∑(ΦДΦ)

Maomao suddenly realized.

Grindelwald's wrinkled cheeks twitched slightly, and he replied in a dumbfounded voice: "I don't know what happened to Voldemort. My hair is gone, just because I am old."

"But... Albus has a lot of hair, and Newt and Tina are not bald either. Gsilda, who is older than Albus, also has a lot of hair. Although Filius is bald in the middle, his ears are He still has hair on both sides, and he has the blood of a fairy. Most fairies don’t have hair, meow!”

(ˇˇ)

Maomao gave an example very seriously.

"Well... this problem still varies from person to person." Grindelwald was not angry, but happily discussed the hair issue with Fish. "Some people lose their hair at a young age. They didn't become some kind of Dark Lord, right?"

Fish recalled carefully that Professor Tofty, who had invigilated their O.W.L. exam with Gsilda March, had no hair, and Ron's father, Arthur Weasley, also had thicker hair than many others. It's much sparser. In addition, it's not like Feixu has never seen people who are only forty or fifty years old and have smooth heads...

"That makes sense, nya!"

Maomao nodded in agreement and secretly breathed a sigh of relief...

In the original report of Rita Skeeter, she called herself the third generation Dark Lord, so Maomao was very worried that if she was really regarded as the third generation Dark Lord by others in the future, her hair would fall out. What to do with light.

After solving the hair problem that Fish considered to be a very serious problem, Maomao began to ask Grindelwald various questions.

For example, what does he usually do to pass the time here, what does he eat for three meals a day, who else has come to visit him besides himself and Dumbledore, etc.

After Grindelwald gave the answers one by one, Fish's face was instantly filled with confusion and surprise.

"How did you stay in such a boring place for so long, meow?!"

∑(ΦДΦ)

Maomao also asked him the question he had asked Dumbledore before: "Why can't you escape, Meow? Albus said that the magic here was set by you yourself, and it should not be able to contain your Meow." ”

"Because...even if I go out, I have nowhere to go..." Grindelwald said in a low voice: "I have lost everything, so there is no difference between here and other places."

"But Fei Xu doesn't think you have anything."

(ω)

Maomao looked at Grindelwald and said seriously: "Albus always remembers you, Meow. Fish thinks that if you come out, he should take in your Meow."

In the original book, Voldemort flew around Nurmengard several times before entering it, and he did not deliberately suppress his voice when talking to Grindelwald, but no one else came in to disturb him...

If it wasn't Rowling's mistake, it was probably because there was no one else in New Menggard except for Grindelwald. It was probably because he had been imprisoned for decades, so he was too lazy to waste manpower on him.
