Chapter 51: Dragon Ring
Kuro and Yuzi came to a small cell on the top of the tower of Neumangad. The space was small and dark and messy. The windows were extremely narrow gaps in black stones, and there was a stone bed and a thin ragged blanket on it.
On the stone bed, an old man in rags was lying. He was locked in chains and his body was extremely weak.
Kuro and Yuzi looked at each other, and neither of them expected that Grindelwald, in Charia's words, would have been so miserable in his later years.
"I think even the Dark King will regret it if he is locked up in such a place for decades." Yuko said quietly.
Kuro opened his mouth slightly, trying to say something, but he couldn't say anything, because he also felt that what Yuko said was right.
It seemed that because of the conversation between the two, he woke up the sleeping Grindelwald. He struggled to wake up from his sleep, opened his eyes, and saw the two people who suddenly appeared in his cell at a glance.
Wearing a mage robe with similar styles, Grindelwald could tell in an instant that they were not European magicians, or perhaps from the East?
"What a rare guest." Grindelwald smiled in his old voice, "I didn't expect someone would come to see me as an old bone."
The yellowed teeth, combined with his old and thin face, look particularly ugly.
"Grindelwald." Kulo yelled his name softly, "Albus Dumbledore is dead."
Grindelwald's pupils shrank, then he lowered his head and remained silent, and then he said in a trembling voice.
"Is that so? He is old. Soon, I will follow his steps to meet the god of death."
He didn't think these two people would come here specifically to deceive him. Now he is just a dying old man, and he can't even use magic, and it's useless to anyone.
"He didn't die of old age," Kuro said again.
Grindelwald suddenly raised his head, raised his eyebrows and looked straight at Kuro.
"I don't know who you are, and why do you deceive me, the old man, but if you want to deceive me, you also want a better reason. He defeated me and imprisoned me here. In the current magic world, who can kill him?"
"Vodemort." said Yuko.
"He?" Grindelwald raised his eyebrows, and then sneered disdainfully, "Just lost to Dumbledore's idiot."
"He can't beat Dumbledore, but what if it's a plot." Kulo continued to pursue the victory, "Vodemort divided his soul and created seven Horcruxes. As long as the Horcruxes are there, he can be resurrected. When he destroyed one of the Horcruxes, Dumbledore suffered a plot and had a lifespan of less than one year. When looking for another Horcrux, he drank the poison prepared by Voldemort and became extremely weak, and then... was sneaked into the Death Eater who infiltrated into Hogwarts..."
"Enough!" Grindelwald glared at Curlow, and suddenly, tears were shaking on his curved nose.
"I don't know why you came here to tell me about these things, but now I am just a sick old man with no power. Even if I give me a magic wand now, I will not use any magic!"
Grindelwald was a charming, outstanding wizard when he was young, and most of the people who met him thought so - even Albus Dumbledore himself admitted that Grindelwald was very charming and even fell in love with him.
This also became one of the reasons why Dumbledore turned a blind eye to Grindelwald's danger at the beginning.
Grindelwald's feelings for Dumbledore are not described in detail in the novel, but in the end he wanted to protect Dumbledore's grave from being destroyed (Voldemort wants an old wand, and the old wand is in Dumbledore's hands and is buried in the tomb with him)
It is enough to see that he also had a friendship with Dumbledore, saying that he had not obtained the old wand and gave his life to it.
Of course, this feeling may not be love.
"You are really weak now," said Kuro, "but... your knowledge remains in your mind."
As he said that, he took out a small glass bottle from his arms, and the transparent liquid inside was flashing with fluorescence. This was the water from the Raphaeltar sacred mountain sacred pool. It has strong vitality. Soaking it in ordinary people can increase their lifespan and even gain invulnerable abilities.
Yes, it was the bath water in the open-air hot spring pool in their re-examination suite.
He opened the lid of the glass bottle and poured the water on Grindelwald's head with a puzzled look on his face, and the water flowed down the old man's head.
At that moment, Grindelwald even thought that he was deliberately humiliating himself, but then an unprecedented stream of life energy flowed on him, repairing the injuries in his body and even enhancing his physical condition.
He looked at his hands with an incredible look on his face.
"Is this the elixir of immortality made by the Philosopher's Stone?"
"Not, it's a little more rare than that. Strictly speaking, the one you use is the only bottle in the world," Kuro said.
Strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong.
"Is it such a precious thing?" Grindelwald murmured lightly. He was treated with injuries on his body by Shenshui, and changed his previous weakness.
There was a little sharpness and spirit in his eyes, and he stared at Kuro with a burning look like two candles.
"What are you doing to use this treasure on me? If I were to let me come out again to conquer the world, I can tell you responsibly that the era of conquering them has passed, and it is impossible for the magicians to conquer the world now."
"Of course not." Kuro raised his eyebrows, "Why do you think so? Conquering the world is meaningless to us. We are here to invite you to be a teacher in a certain school."
Grindelwald looked at the two of them with a look of surprise.
"Me? Teacher? Are you not afraid of a few more Dark Kings in this world? And I don't think that the people from the Ministry of Magic will let me come out to teach and educate people."
"To be honest, we are not afraid, and we even want you to teach a few more such mages." Kuro said with a slight smile.
The Dark King first represents strength. Such an existence that appears on Blue Star will definitely accelerate the world's upgrade.
"I'll talk about the specific things later. You can do what you want to do first."
"Before this..." Yuko spoke, and with a wave of her hand, the chains on Grindelwald were broken, and a clean and neat tuxedo was worn on him. All the filth was also cleaned up at the same time, her hair was meticulously tidy, and she was holding a black cane in her hand.
It looks like an old British gentleman.
This is...Staffless casting.
Grindelwald's pupils shrank slightly, and he looked at the clothes on his body with a look of surprise.
Even in the past he could not do this.
"It looks pretty good." Yuko's admiring words interrupted Grindelwald's thoughts.
He raised his head blankly and looked at the "young" beauty. He had a premonition that even himself in his heyday might not be able to defeat this woman.
"By the way, there is one more thing." Yuko stretched out her right hand, and a Merlin dragon ring appeared in her hand, and handed it to Grindelwald.
“You should be able to get it’s acknowledged.”
Grindelwald subconsciously produced the dragon-shaped craft.
What was caught off guard was that the moment his hand touched the craft, the dragon seemed to have come alive, crawling on his hand, finally climbing onto his fingers, turning into a ring, and putting it on his hand.
The moment the dragon ring was put on, he sensed that the magic power on his body was activated by the ring and was cheering.
Grindelwald's pupils dilated and he stared blankly at the dragon ring on his finger.
