Dumbledore nodded. "Yes, the food at Daxia is truly wonderful! I have to thank Elwin. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been able to taste such delicious food! Do you remember the first time we ate Daxia food?"
Grindelwald said, "Of course I remember. To be honest, the reason I've always been prejudiced against summer vegetables is because of that time. It was really too spicy!"
Dumbledore smiled and said, "Yes, I tried it again later. I also asked Erwin. It turns out that we were eating Sichuan cuisine at that time, so it was very spicy! However, Daxia has many different cuisines, and the tastes are all completely different!"
Grindelwald exclaimed, "What a dazzling Daxia! You've made me want to eat. Please sit down for a while. I need to go and inform them to change the dinner menu!"
Grindelwald took out a cell phone from his pocket.
The purple lotus-shaped mark on the back indicates that this is also something of the Cavendish family.
Grindelwald's hands trembled slightly.
I pressed the wrong button several times.
Grindelwald was a little angry: "Damn it, I'm really old, my hands have started to shake!"
Dumbledore did not expose Grindelwald.
Of course he knew why Grindelwald's hands were shaking.
Just like him, beneath his calm appearance.
His hands were shaking as well.
Grindelwald tried hard to calm himself down, and finally managed to dial the number and tell him today's menu.
They are all sweet and sour.
No dish was exceptional.
Although Grindelwald didn't like the taste, Dumbledore did.
Grindelwald specifically asked Erwin about these dishes.
After hanging up the phone.
Grindelwald said, "I'm sorry to make you laugh. Old people always have all kinds of strange symptoms! Just like me, I feel like my memory is getting worse and worse recently! There are many things I've started to forget!"
Dumbledore said, "I feel the same way. So, I have prepared a Pensieve. If you need one, I will send it to you!"
Grindelwald said, "A Pensieve? That's a nice thing. I think I really need one!"
Dumbledore nodded.
The atmosphere between the two of them gradually became awkward.
Both of them had imagined too many times what it would be like when they met again.
There are good and bad ones.
But neither of them thought that they would sit down and chat calmly like before.
Therefore, the two did not prepare any topics in advance.
This caused the two of them to feel a bit awkward.
At this moment, Grindelwald thought of something.
"Oh, right, I've prepared gifts for you, but I've never given them to you before! Since you're here, I can give all the gifts to you! You can take them all away at once!"
Dumbledore said, "What a coincidence, I have a gift for you too!"
Grindelwald's eyes lit up. "Really? I'm looking forward to it!"
Grindelwald went to a cabinet nearby and pulled out a bag with a traceless extension charm cast on it. Dumbledore also took out a bag.
The two of them are like two children.
Exchange the bags in your hands.
Then, they both froze at the same time.
The two people's bags contained exactly the same things.
All wool socks.
(In Western culture, wool socks represent family affection and are usually given as gifts between family members! A little science!)
Dumbledore and Grindelwald looked up at each other at the same time.
Then both of them laughed.
Dumbledore said: "It has been many years since I received a pair of woolen socks. Although I have hinted to many people that I really want a pair of woolen socks, none of them understood what I meant!"
Grindelwald said, "Sometimes it's like that, just like with Wenda. Before Christmas, I told her that my feet were a little cold! But she still didn't understand what I meant, and instead added two fireplaces to my room!"
Dumbledore smiled and said, "Yes, sometimes they are so thoughtful that it's amazing, but sometimes they can be so dull that it's frightening!"
Grindelwald nodded.
Silence fell between the two again.
After a while.
Dumbledore said, "Gellert, I am confused. I don't know what Erwin wants to do. I have done many things, but in the end I suddenly found that Erwin had destroyed all my arrangements without my knowledge. Just before I came here, Erwin forced me to fight him!"
Grindelwald remained calm when he heard this.
"Who wins and who loses among you?"
Dumbledore shook his head. "There's no winning or losing. He's so powerful that I couldn't have imagined. Although I'm confident I can defeat him, I think he has a trump card! He's become so terrifying. I feel like everything has exceeded my expectations!"
Grindelwald looked at Dumbledore and he could feel that Dumbledore was very depressed at this moment.
Grindelwald sighed. "I've said it before, Dumbledore. You think too simply about many things! Erwin has never been someone who can be controlled. Have you ever considered that he might already know a lot of things? He might even know more than we do! Remember what I said after listening to your plan when we first learned about the prophecy?"
Dumbledore was silent for a moment. "You said at the time that if he was really the one who ended everything, then he wouldn't be manipulated at will, and it might even cause a violent backlash!"
Grindelwald nodded. "Yes, I've met Erwin, and I can see that although he looks like a clear lake, underneath he hides a turbulent sea! Dumbledore, you should learn to let go. You and I both know that we just happened to catch up with this game. We weren't the ones who made the plan. Strictly speaking, we are also pawns, so we don't have the ability to influence the game! Why do you always want to control things that you can't control?"
Dumbledore said nothing.
Grindelwald continued, "Albus, it's time to change your mind! This world isn't in vain without you. You're very strong, but there are people just as strong as you, and some even stronger. This chess game is beyond our control. All we can do is wait and see. We've done everything we can, but the rest is beyond our control!"
Dumbledore leaned back in his chair.
"Yes, you're right, I was too persistent! Gellert, I'm really tired!"
Grindelwald came up behind Dumbledore and gently hugged Dumbledore.
Dumbledore leaned into Grindelwald's arms, enjoying the rare quiet and peace!
