The two of them walked briskly, and every minute they stayed here gave them more possibilities to be discovered, and then, a wide stone staircase appeared in front of them, spiraling upwards in the shape of a spiral, and with each step of the way, there were several low stone doors, on which hung heavy iron locks, carved with many dark magic patterns, and with the knowledge that Malfoy had mastered, he recognized many powerful magic patterns.

Behind the lock, there should be the prisoners in the cells on this level, there is no cave, but they are not in the mood to explore now.

Just as the two of them reached the height of the fifth floor, the tower began to tremble, and tiny boulders began to spill over their heads.

"I was discovered. Malfoy's brow furrowed as he quickened his pace, Fleur following close behind.

They reacted faster than they thought.

"Your hair ......," Fleur reminded as she followed, panting.

"Got it. Malfoy quickly glanced back at Fleur, and at this time the effect of the two of them disappeared at some point, and the girl reverted to her long, shoulder-length silver hair and pretty face.

Needless to say, it must have been restored to its original appearance, the iconic short pale blonde hair, and a slightly pale face should have also been restored.

At this moment, the torches inserted into the stone wall were extinguished in an instant, and the spiraling corridor was suddenly dark.

The tower began to shake even more violently, and Malfoy even heard the whistling wind from a weight falling from a great height.

He speculated that it might be a defensive blockade of the stone gate.

Under the effect of gravity, these mechanisms were triggered quickly, and the stone doors stood abruptly in front of the eyes of the two of them, falling from the sky with a slump.

"Hide behind me. ”

"Broken bones!" Heavy stone doors shattered one after another, stones shot everywhere, and Fleur was pulled and ran, panting more and more.

Girls are born with some physical deficiencies, which is an objective factor.

I don't know how many stone doors were destroyed, but the two found that they had reached the top, and an old iron door was placed in front of them, with a heavy iron lock hanging on it.

Muggles summed up the proverb during the war that the strongest fortress in the world was breached from the inside, and for wizarding societies, Sirius Black and Barty Crouch's prison break was a slight omission for Azkaban, not a "breach".

After all, most of the prisoners remained inside after their respective escapes.

According to the original trajectory, it was only after Voldemort turned against the evil group of Dementors that Azkabana was called breached.

Impregnable, netty, and untouchable, they were guarded by the trained Aurors of the German Ministry of Magic, and it was always more difficult to tempt them than the dementors who had no idea of good or evil.

But as long as it is a human being, there is always a weakness, and if you can take advantage of the weakness, the compound decoction has become a good weapon for sneaking in, at least it can deceive most of the people on the periphery.

In the prison of Neumengard, the order is at the bottom, and the German Aurors carefully guard these prisoners, because they are the ones who are most prone to chaos, they still have hope of life, there is a prison term, and they still yearn for freedom.

The higher you go, the longer the sentence becomes, and the sentence that exceeds the person's lifespan is meaningless, they can only wait quietly for time to pass, and then their lives come to an end, accepting this desperate reality.

As for the top, there had been no noticeable movement for decades, and no one dared to approach the little black room, except for the jailers who regularly delivered food, and the front of the door was covered with the rotting corpses of dead rats and the remains of dead maggots, spreading an aura of decay and darkness that made people sick.

At the top of the tower in Newmengard, the narrow windows were confined by black iron rods, and as usual, only occasionally a little sunlight came in, and the cramped room was framed in darkness, and the old man in the room looked very tired, and he usually liked to close his eyes.

This saves a lot of energy.

He was thin, skinny, and to him no longer an adjective, but an ordinary narrative, and he generally liked to sit or lie on that dirty, hard, worn-out bed, and if he stood up, his body would certainly be rickety.

The lack of light and nutrition made him look very old and emaciated.

His beard and hair were long, and these dull, gray, dull hairs were tangled together in a dirty and greasy way.

He was missing a few teeth, and the rest were stained with an unsightly yellow stain, crooked, and uncared for.

No one would be so particular about the prisoner, and no one would be happy to get close to this bad old man.

Thunder was beginning to thunder outside, and the sound of wind and rain penetrated through the stone walls, and there were some scattered raindrops, falling through the gaps in the iron bars, and falling on the stone floor, making a clattering sound, and only then could he occasionally come into contact with some outside things.

Fresh air is something precious here.

Sometimes he wondered when lightning would smash the tower and let outsiders come here to repair it, it would seem good.

As for escaping from here, he didn't think that his dignity was more important than his freedom.

I am willing to accept the gamble, and since I lost that duel, I accept it calmly.

It's just that he never thinks he's done wrong – he's still holding on to his beliefs and believing he's right in the face of some unscrupulous means in order to achieve his ideals.

At most, the means are a little too drastic.

The only regret may be that fight, without that fight, Albus Dumbledore's sister would not have died, their differences and contradictions would not have become irreconcilable, and perhaps the new order in the wizarding world has been established for many years, and their greater interests have long been achieved.

In fact, he was still merciful in that duel.

To Dumbledore's younger brother, Aberforth, of course.

That duel changed the direction of the entire wizarding world in the future.

The first half of Dumbledore's life was extremely ambitious, even less than Grindelwald's, and his ideals were similar to Grindelwald's, which was to establish a new order so that wizards would not continue to live under the Secrecy Act.

Therefore, under a certain coincidence and fate, the talented two will finally come together, and in just two months, they have become close friends, or even more "deep" relationships.

In his early years, Dumbledore had already shown an astonishing talent during his time at Hogwarts, winning various important awards from the school, and soon maintained frequent correspondence with the most famous masters of magic of the time, including the famous alchemist Nick Lemay, the famous historian Bathilda Baghat, and the magical theorist Adebay Wolflin. Several of his papers have appeared in academic journals such as Transfiguration Today, Charms Innovation, and Practical Potions Master.

He needs to have a high enough prestige and accumulate enough capital.

At that time, he should be said to be somewhat similar to Percy of the Weasley family now, except that he was even better, and the high position that Percy longed for, in Dumbledore's time, he actually only had to go on like this, and the position of Minister of Magic was no problem.

He liked to stay in his bedroom at home, reading his books alone, counting his awards, and correspondingly with the famous magicians of the time, and he did not want to deal with her sister, because it would be too much trouble and would waste his time.

In the end, because of the accident and the death of his sister, he finally understood what was the most important thing because of his good nature.

He then parted ways with Grindelwald and won the battle in that duel known as the Battle of the Century.

The fabricated surrender of Grindelwald in that gossip was also unreasonable, and if he really felt guilty, Ariana might not have escaped when she died.

Grindelwald, it can't be such a weak person, Dumbledore is attracted to him, there must be an element of personality charm, he will not fall in love with someone who will give in to his ideals for love.

In that battle, after all, Dumbledore was superior and defeated Grindelwald in a dignified manner.

That man is proud, he can accept his failures, but he will not deny his ideals.

The only thing he felt guilty about was probably the duel that took Dumbledore's sister's life.

The endless loneliness in the tower gradually changed his mentality, but he was the most feared Dark Lord before Voldemort.

And now, Malfoy has to face such an old man who has gone through vicissitudes and is full of legends in the first half of his life.
