Chapter 107 For the Greater Good (4)

"Is this the help you're talking about?"

Dumbledore said coldly.

For some reason, Dumbledore suddenly remembered what happened when he was young. In a daze, the very different faces of Yang Yun and Grindelwald strangely overlapped in an instant.

And Dumbledore finally understood why he so easily chose to believe in this group of wizards from the Wandering Sea. The same genius, the same vigor, the same desire to change the world... just like dreaming back at midnight, the youthful but nostalgic time a hundred years ago.

"The people who know you best are either your friends or your enemies. It just so happens that Mr. Grindelwald has both of these things."

Yang Yun, who didn't know Dumbledore's inner thoughts, but would only smile slightly if he knew, continued: "Actually, I didn't do anything, I just did a little bit of work - for example, I told Mr. Grindelwald about the prophecy. , and explained to him that under the constraints of the British Ministry of Magic, you may have a little bit of self-destructive tendency."

Yang Yun didn't lie. With Zhan Lan's mental scan and the broomstick Yang Yun got, it didn't actually take too much time to find Nurmengard Prison in Austria, and the prison where Grindelwald is now It is also in a near-abandoned state.

There was basically no one guarding the outside of the prison. Only the former Dark Lord stood alone on the tower, looking out the window at the Alps day after day.

No one can imprison Grindelwald, just like Dumbledore. The only one who imprisons the Dark Lord is himself. He is willing to be imprisoned here to atone for his sins for his lover Dumbledore.

As Dumbledore believed, love is the greatest magic, because this magic defeated the Dark Lord of the previous generation.

In the past fifty years, Grindelwald's thoughts have also undergone great changes. He will no longer think about ruling Muggles and ruling the world. People cannot defeat loneliness. Loneliness made the first-generation Dark Lord in Numenga. Day and night, De could not help but miss the burning years he and Dumbledore had experienced, recalling the best time the two had spent together.

Therefore, after Yang Yun's letter roughly narrated the direction of Harry Potter's story and pointed out that Dumbledore was stuck in his ways and was exhausted mentally and physically trying to deal with the mess left by Voldemort, Grindelwald became angry.

"Does he really think he is the so-called savior?"

After retrieving his wand and verifying the truth of the letter through his prophecy, Grindelwald immediately wrote a letter to Dumbledore.

Now that Dumbledore is opening this letter, the more he reads it, the more mixed emotions he has in his heart. Grindelwald first recalled the prosperous years between the two of them in the past, and then scolded the British Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore mercilessly.

In fact, Grindelwald has a kind of old enemy, or a domineering CEO style. Every line in his letter is full of thoughts: "I am the only one who can fall in love with and kill Dumbledore, and Voldemort is nothing." In the end, he even threatened If Dumbledore cannot unite the power of the wizarding world to defeat Voldemort, then he will step out of Nurmengard and summon the saints. First, he will go to bloodbath the British Ministry of Magic, and then go to fight with Voldemort and the Death Eaters. Fight to the death.

——How should I put it? It’s obviously a threat, but it also has an air of arrogance.

Dumbledore is not a person who values ​​power, and he doesn't care about the world's evaluation of him. In the original world line, in response to the Ministry of Magic's actions to deprive him of his honor, he could only smile and say, "As long as It doesn’t matter if you don’t take me off the Chocolate Frog card.”

What has restrained Dumbledore for a long time is the red line he drew for himself. Sometimes crossing this line just requires a small excuse and opportunity... and Grindelwald's letter undoubtedly gave Dumbledore The best excuse ever.

Dumbledore seems to be obsessed with Grindelwald's strange feelings, and it is really difficult for ordinary people to understand the complex relationship between the two men, who are also enemies, friends, and lovers. After Dumbledore read the letter, the old man wiped his eyes, then raised his head and asked Yang Yun: "Have anticipated this matter in advance and written to Grindelwald. This is also your plan, or prophecy." Hit?"

Yang Yun shrugged his shoulders: "Not everything can be solved with prophecies. Just like Principal Dumbledore, you and Grindelwald's past. In addition to prophecies, you can also learn a little bit about it by investigating your past. After all, humans live in groups. Animals will leave their own traces when they live in this world. As long as you investigate many things, they will not be secrets."

"As for Voldemort's attack on Azkaban, I did not predict it. I just feel that if anyone in this world can kill you, Principal Dumbledore, it would only be Voldemort... Since you are unwilling to get involved in politics and commit suicide If you tie your hands and feet and force yourself to fight a war when you are at a disadvantage, then I will have to do some things that you are not very willing to do."

"But these things are not what researchers should do." Dumbledore said: "You first said that you came from the Wandering Sea for the purpose of studying thought magic, but now you take the initiative to contact Grindelwald..."

"No one said that seekers who study magic are just a bunch of nerds. Humans are social animals, and the relationship between people is like the gravity of the planet. No matter how you deny it, this mutual force is objective and objective. Reality exists.”

"Wonderful metaphor," Dumbledore mused.

"These are the words of our Wandering Sea Astronomy Lord, the head of the Animusfia family. Although most people don't like his style, they have to admit that his theory has its own truth." Yang Yun held up his hands. Tan: "Sometimes, it's not a bad thing to have a flexible moral bottom line. After all, it's for the greater good."

"Grindelwald would not be happy if he heard his slogan being used in such a place." Dumbledore shook his head.

"No, he will be very happy." Yang Yun said with certainty: "This is a win-win situation. Grindelwald gets spiritual comfort, Principal Dumbledore gets an excuse to convince himself, and we get enhanced The guarantee of combat power against Voldemort to complete the current goal... This is for the greater good of all three of us."

"Maybe, but I know Grindelwald, he will not be used so easily." Dumbledore stood up: "I have to see him, otherwise he will not be able to sit still."

"That will have to wait until Azkaban happens. I wish you good luck with this conversation, principal."

Yang Yun drank all the tea in the cup: "You must know that thoughts will not bleed, feel pain, and will not die... Thoughts cannot be killed."

"This is the magic of thought, the magic of the wandering sea, the magic of our thoughts..."

"…And I think Mr. Grindelwald would be happy to use these words as his new slogan."
