Chapter 109 A pocket watch
"Let everyone get out of here first."
Dumbledore slowly shook his head and rejected his proposal, continuing in a deep voice: "Let them leave here safely, this is the condition for us to sit down and negotiate..."
"I trust you."
Grindelwald nodded, smiled and turned his head to look at everyone present: "You want to leave here or sit down and listen. I will respect your opinions..."
“…”
Everyone present looked at each other.
Just as they were hesitating, Grindelwald suddenly snapped his fingers, and a raging flame ignited in the entire hall, and dark blue fires circled around the hall!
“…”
Everyone present immediately rushed to the exit!
This lunatic Grindelwald actually took action immediately after a disagreement!
They didn't want to lose all their lives. Grindelwald almost burned Paris with a fierce fire. This is not a joke!
Everyone present quickly left here. Whether it was the Minister of Magic or the Director of the Magic Cooperation Department, everyone did not want to be killed by a madman for no reason!
For a Dark King, clearing the scene is that simple.
Only Dumbledore was not afraid of the dark blue Lihuo at all. His eyes were still a little dull when he looked at Grindelwald, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Grindelwald's fingers flicked his Lihuo, jumped to sit on a table, and slowly spoke: "What? Are you not grateful to me? At least no one will shackle you in this way."
“…”
Dumbledore avoided the topic and slowly walked in another direction, sat on the chair next to the table, and headed straight to the topic: "Say, what do you want?"
"All, everything."
Grindelwald chuckled.
This smile made Grindelwald's middle-aged image that he had been using transforming techniques to look particularly arrogant. Even Dumbledore looked like he felt like he was a different life.
certainly.
This condition is definitely impossible.
Grindelwald looked at Dumbledore with an unhappy expression. He slowly sat upright and his expression gradually became serious: "Let me stand in the sunshine and do everything I want to do."
“This is impossible.”
Dumbledore shook his head quickly and simply rejected the proposal that was exactly the same as what Grindelwald said just now.
"Then there's nothing to talk about."
Grindelwald began to play with the bracelet hanging on his body indifferently. His fingers wrapped around the bracelet and continued slowly: "It seems that we still can't compromise..."
“It’s different.”
Dumbledore's voice was still old. He shook his head calmly and expressed his opinion: "Say something practical. You can be the principal of Demstrong, but you must fulfill the responsibilities of a principal and no longer spread those dangerous ideas..."
“What is dangerous?”
Grindelwald was still playing with the bracelet between his fingers. The bracelet and his pocket watch jingled, and he continued softly: "Only time can define our right or wrong...Dumbledore, no one can be sure that he is right."
“…”
Dumbledore was silent, and he shook his head slowly and said, "This is what you must agree to, otherwise what is the difference between this and that year?"
“There is a difference.”
Grindelwald held down his bracelet, suddenly raised his head and chuckled, "The magic world is more dangerous now than it was back then, otherwise you wouldn't have appeared here."
Yes.
Because the crisis in the magic world far exceeded that of that year, Dumbledore had to come to him to negotiate, and Grindelwald knew this very well.
However, after Grindelwald finished speaking, looking at Dumbledore who was silent again, he suddenly lowered his head and said, "I can't agree to you in this regard, because everyone has the right to choose their destiny. At least you need to know that I am different from the past."
"…Okay, I'll look at you."
Dumbledore nodded dullly and continued to talk about the second condition: "Don't do anything freely anymore and hurt the lives of any innocent person..."
“…”
Grindelwald raised his eyebrows and continued, "If I really do it, there must be a last resort. I will never kill my compatriots for no reason..."
"I can't put other people's lives on indulgence on you."
Dumbledore was particularly firm in this matter and insisted on Grindelwald's agreement, because this was a bottom line in Dumbledore's heart.
"Okay, I agree."
Grindelwald nodded indifferently.
This matter really doesn't matter to him, because Grindelwald really doesn't like killing very much, and now he prefers another method.
Dumbledore looked at Grindelwald's expression and nodded slowly to continue to raise the third condition: "Severe the alliance with Petr, and give me the Horcrux of Peter and Tom in your hand."
“The first point can be done.”
Grindelwald frowned and shook his head slowly, trying to speak, "I can't hand over their Horcrux to you, and I hope you can hand over their Horcrux to me... You should know that I'm better at solving these things than you."
“…”
Dumbledore was silent again.
Because Grindelwald is right.
However, these Horcruxes were held in Grindelwald by Grindelwald.
Dumbledore thought for a while before making a proposal: "I can promise, but you must destroy them in front of me."
"Then start counting again!"
Grindelwald nodded immediately and explained seriously: "The Horcrux I got has been destroyed, Ravenclaw's crown, and a Gunter family ring..."
He did not lie to this.
Because he and Weisen got these two Voldemort's Horcruxes in total.
As for Petr's Horcrux...
Petrite Peter had no Horcrux at all, that was because he was captured.
"All right."
Dumbledore could only nod and chose to believe for the time being that he would investigate this matter slowly in the future, and that Grindelwald and other Dark Lords were hostile, so there was no need to deceive him in this matter.
What to say...
It seems that negotiating with Grindelwald is not a bad thing.
At least now Dumbledore felt as if he had obtained an alliance that could deal with the Dark King, and even repair their broken relationship.
Dumbledore looked up at Grindelwald and said calmly: "The last thing, tell me, where is Petrite Peter?"
“…”
This time it was Grindelwald's turn to remain silent. He shook his head slowly and firmly and said, "Sorry, I can't say this. Now you can't go back to London..."
After saying that, Grindelwald opened the pocket watch in his hand and continued calmly: "After ten o'clock, Petr will attack the British Ministry of Magic. This is the last thing I can tell you, the purpose is to create panic and get you back to London..."
"Is this a conspiracy?"
Dumbledore's body suddenly stood up and stared at Grindelwald.
"No, this is a conspiracy."
Grindelwald was unmoved at all. He slowly raised his head and looked at Dumbledore and said, "But when I promised your conditions, the alliance between me and the guy named Peter ended. From now on, I will not interfere in your affairs..."
When he said this, Grindelwald suddenly chuckled and said, "I promised you a lot of conditions today. It's too late to go back at this time. Why don't we sit down and have a good talk? What conditions should you promise me?"
“…”
Dumbledore couldn't help but feel anxious.
Just as he stepped forward and took the pocket watch in Grindelwald's hand and wanted to see the time now, he saw a photo of two young people inside the buckle of the pocket watch.
“…”
Dumbledore's body stiffened.
The next moment.
The old man looked at the photo above and flashed countless thoughts.
This photo was taken at their best in their youth, and that was also the time when they were closest to each other.
What a pity.
Time cannot stop.
They can't go back in time.
Dumbledore finally slowly closed his pocket watch and threw it to Grindelwald. He turned around and left the place as if he was running away, leaving his last sentence in a hurry.
Chapter completed!
