Chapter 298: Newmengard (II)
Newmongard was a prison built by Gellert Grindelwald, initially to hold his opponents, but he could not imagine whether he would end up in it or the most heavily guarded position.
The suffix (gard) of the word "Newmengard" means both "town with high walls" and "guard".
The outermost part of this place has developed into a small town with some people, which has to be amazing.
Maybe it's some of Grindelwald's men, who, after their sentences have expired, are waiting for the men they follow to escape from prison, or maybe they've been separated from society for a long time, and it is difficult for them to integrate into wizarding society, so they chose to spend their lives here.
The difference between Voldemort and Grindelwald is huge, and in terms of a division of nine factions that is interesting today, one is chaos evil and the other is order evil.
One is evil for the sake of pure evil, and the other is evil for a planned purpose, in order to achieve the so-called wizarding order, he doesn't care if he will hurt people in the process of realizing the plan, but he will not deliberately hurt others.
People who have followed Grindelwald are called saints, this is a false rumor, saints are used to call those who pursue the Deathly Hallows, Grindelwald can be regarded as a saint, and his followers are not so touched, it seems far-fetched to call them saints, but every organization needs a cohesive title, if it is called the Grindelwald Army, it doesn't sound like there is any deterrent, so the title of saint has been handed down to refer to Grindelwald's followers.
In short, in the vicinity of this prison, there seems to be a kind of wonderful circle, inside the high tower surrounded by the city wall there are only prisoners and guards, and outside the city wall, it is full of the smell of fireworks in the world, and occasionally those Aurors and guards who are in charge of guarding the tower will come to the outside to rest in this small town-like place.
Taverns are naturally the most popular place, and no one will know how they get their drinks and food from the outside world on this isolated island.
And today, this small island of rare tourists will welcome two new "guests".
Freeloader.
Ten minutes after the successful hijacking, the boat arrived under Malfoy's control.
There were black reefs all around, the color of asphalt on the streets, and the ground was very hard, and many unknown insects moved quickly on it.
"If you can, don't talk if you can, and I'll take care of everything that needs to be communicated. Malfoy reminded Fleur.
Fleur just nodded.
"From the time we set foot on this island, the apparition was no longer usable, so we had to be cautious. ”
"We don't have much time to stay, and for the time being, the garrison here will be deceived by us, but we will definitely find out later, there should be Gringotts similar to the thief waterfall here, all disguises will be lifted, and the compound potion will be ineffective, so you can break in with me." ”
"Break in?" Fleur's eyes widened, and she said in surprise, her heart subconsciously felt that it should be, slowly blend in, lurk for a long time, and then find an opportunity to achieve her goal.
"They'll report back to the next level, and the lengthy links will buy us time, and the simple and crude methods will be more useful to deal with them. Malfoy said in a deep voice.
Wherever government is reduced, bureaucracy will appear.
The two of them swaggered along the road as they spoke.
Until a traditional iron hanging door suddenly stood in front of the two of them, surrounded by tall and wide black stone walls, extending endlessly on both sides, like a dutiful guard, not giving people a chance to climb over at all, the only way to enter seems to be through the door normally.
Not far away is engraved on the stone statue with this line - For the greater good.
"Good work, Lucas, Jem. ”
The successor beckoned to the two of them and took the initiative to open the door, and Malfoy and Fleur immediately entered the door.
"Jem, are you feeling unwell. It doesn't look like you're looking good. ”
"Really?" Fleur touched her face in some panic, did she show her panic?
"I just miss a woman. Malfoy didn't look back and said, "When it's time for the next day of work, let him go and defeat the fire." ”
The janitor smiled at Fleur with a knowing smile.
Malfoy looked at their schedules, and the two of them were probably on vacation after they finished work today.
The two of them then walked slowly down the hallway, trying to show that they were not in a hurry, and they were so familiar that they couldn't be more familiar.
This is part of the true face of Newmengard, the lowest level is an extremely long curved corridor, the marble stone forms the walls on both sides, and the dimly lit torches are hung on them, whether it is day or night, this is an oppressive atmosphere that seems to have no end in sight.
The two walked cautiously, and after walking for about five minutes, a depression suddenly appeared next to the corridor, and the traces of artificial excavation were very obvious.
It was a small room, and Malfoy guessed it was their duty room.
An old, smoke-stained glass window opened towards them.
A few men inside were spitting fog in it, or they were playing bridge around the table.
Smoking is not prohibited here, and wizards don't seem to care about it, and this prison is almost purely made of stone, so there will be no fire, and cigarettes can be quite a good choice to kill time.
It can immerse people in it, empty their brains, and enjoy the pleasure brought by nicotine.
As for gambling, it is not surprising that gambling can mobilize people's emotions and get the thrill of winning and losing.
It's not just the prisoners, it's actually the guards who are bored here, and they have to have some other fun.
The two of them tried to slow down their pace at this time, avoiding their attention.
The long period of peace made them a little slack.
However, Nümongaard also has this capital.
Azkaban thought that with the Dementors he would be able to sit back and relax, while Nyumengard chose something more secure.
Handcuffs.
It can also be called the Forbidden Ring.
They had renowned alchemists and Muggle craftsmen work together to design this magical item to limit the prisoners' magical abilities.
Some powerful wizards, even if they lose their wands, are combative, such as Sirius Black, who was able to use the Animagus transformation to escape from prison even though his wand had been confiscated while in Azkaban.
And the Forbidden Ring, as the name suggests, when the hands are bound, it is difficult to cast a magic, which is no different from ordinary Muggles.
This is also a guarantee that Newmengard has never reported the news of a prison break for so many years.
Every prisoner was handcuffed.
With the exception of one person, he was imprisoned at the top of the tower, supposedly by Dumbledore himself.
That is naturally more guaranteed than the so-called forbidden ring.
