Chapter 178: Conversation in Nurmengard



Dumbledore climbed the stairs and appeared at the top of the tower prison again.

Perhaps it was because Dumbledore had appeared frequently in Nurmengard in recent times, the originally ragged Gellert Grindelwald actually changed his clothes this time. Although they were just ordinary home clothes, compared with before, Gellert Grindelwald at this time finally regained a bit of his former spirit.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, Gellert Grindelwald said without turning his head: "I knew you would come again. Is Wentworth okay?"

Dumbledore, who had just walked into the room, first found a place to sit down, and then answered:

"Don't worry, he's fine. I also arranged a summer camp for him during the holidays, where he went to Newt's place to take care of magical animals. He likes it very much."

Gellert Grindelwald clenched his hands suddenly, but then put them down again, saying disdainfully:

"Next holiday, instead of letting him waste time, why not let him come to my place? I will give him an unforgettable holiday."

Dumbledore spread his hands in disbelief and asked:

"I have a question. When you found me in Godric's Hollow, was it really an accidental encounter, or did you predict something and deliberately find me?"

Hearing Dumbledore's question, Gellert Grindelwald was shocked. After a moment of silence, he turned around, looked at Dumbledore, and asked in return:

"Albus Dumbledore, what do you mean?"

Facing Gellert Grindelwald's questioning, Dumbledore did not hesitate and said directly:

"For the greater good, all wizards in the wizarding world know that this is the slogan of your Wizarding Party, but what they don't know is that I was the first to come up with this sentence, at least I think so! It was me who first used this sentence in the letter to you!"

"But later I realized that I was wrong. I still remember that we first met in Godric's Hollow in 1899, but later, I was surprised to find that on your prophetic skull, it was engraved: For the greater good - 1898!"

"And then, we made a blood alliance, and I couldn't attack you anymore, and you established the Wu Cui Party!"

When Dumbledore finished speaking, the tower of Nurmengard fell into silence for a moment, with only the biting cold wind whistling in the ears of the two.

After a long silence, Gellert Grindelwald said slowly:

"Albus, it's been decades, why do you suddenly think of this?"

Facing Gellert Grindelwald's question, Dumbledore slowly shook his head and said, "I have never forgotten every detail of our past, so I always feel that you tricked me back then! But it doesn't matter, it's all in the past anyway. I came here this time to tell you something, your prophetic skull has been targeted by someone!"

Dumbledore then told Gellert Grindelwald everything that Wentworth had told him.

When Dumbledore finished his story, Gellert Grindelwald frowned and said:

"If the spell I set on vault No. 714 has not been broken by force and is still working, then in order to open the door, the blood of the Grindelwald family must be used. There is no doubt about that!"

Hearing Gellert Grindelwald's affirmative words, Dumbledore nodded slowly and said, "In that case, I think I have a rough idea of ​​who did it. There is only one way to use the blood of the Grindelwald family to quietly open the Gringotts vault."

At this point, Dumbledore smiled bitterly, while Gellert Grindelwald looked at Dumbledore with a half-smile and said, "Do you feel a little overwhelmed? I know what you mean. In fact, you can tell Wentworth the truth. I have said that the revenge of the Grindelwald family should be avenged by the descendants of the Grindelwald family."

But Dumbledore shook his head without hesitation, and said tiredly: "Let's put this matter aside for now. It's not the right time yet. I have more important things to do!"

Gellert Grindelwald's mouth curled up again, and he said:

"Or is it for your former student? I told you to merge your Order of the Phoenix into the Witch Party. We in the Witch Party will take on your troubles!"

But Dumbledore suddenly smiled, looked into Gellert Grindelwald's eyes, and said slowly: "Gellert, the Witch Party is no longer your Witch Party. The current leader of the Witch Party is Wentworth Grindelwald, and he is my current student! But don't worry, I have no intention of merging the Witch Party into the Order of the Phoenix. It's just that the new leader of the Witch Party will become friends with many people in the Order of the Phoenix!"

Hearing Dumbledore's words, the smile on Gellert Grindelwald's face froze. After a long while, Gellert Grindelwald pointed at Dumbledore and said:

"Albus, don't blame me for not warning you, you are playing with fire!"

Dumbledore snapped his fingers, and a moment later, accompanied by the cry of a phoenix, Dumbledore's pet, the phoenix Fawkes, flew over from the distant sky and landed on Dumbledore's shoulder. Dumbledore then said, "Playing with fire? I like fire. Don't forget, our Dumbledore family's pet is a phoenix!"

After that, Dumbledore grabbed Fawkes's claw and was about to leave, but he heard Gellert Grindelwald say: "Give the Prophecy Skull to Wentworth when you have the chance!"

Dumbledore paused and said in disbelief, "Are you sure? You knew they were looking for the Skull of Prophecy, yet you handed it to Wentworth! We all know that they are not so easy to deal with, otherwise they wouldn't have caused such a big mess back then."

But Gellert Grindelwald nodded affirmatively and said, "Yes, give it to him. After all, besides the wizards of the Witch Party, your Order of the Phoenix will also protect him, right? Who told you that he would become friends with many people in your Order of the Phoenix!"

After hearing what Gellert Grindelwald said, Dumbledore was silent for a moment, then a wry smile appeared on his lips. He said nothing, and accompanied by the cry of Fawkes, Dumbledore's figure disappeared in front of Gellert Grindelwald.

After Dumbledore left, Gellert Grindelwald sat back at the window and continued to look out alone. After a long time, a sigh was heard from Nurmengard: "The wizarding world is getting more and more chaotic now, but it's really interesting!"
