Chapter 132: A Traveler Out of Time
Darkness enveloped everything, and when Xie An woke up violently, the imprisoned Dementors were struggling frantically, trying to pounce on Xie An. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Fortunately, the magic patterns engraved around the Dementors were strong and strong, and the Dementors could not break through this level of captivity, so they could only struggle desperately. Xie An'an's secret palpitations were not because of the Dementors not far away, but because of the things in his dreams that were extremely difficult for him to understand.
The strange energy base, the terrible cemetery, and the girl in the silver and green robe, and the towering tree at the end that seemed to be twisted and dark, Xie An had no clue at all, and he didn't know why he saw such a dream.
The Fuso wooden staff slashed through different shapes in the air, and a red light shot at the Dementor, and the monster floating in the air was startled by the red light and wanted to dodge, but the red light was too fast, and it almost instantly submerged into the Dementor's body, and the Dementor screamed in pain and silently.
At this moment, in the basement of Newmondgard, far away on the European continent, Gellert Grindelwald floated in the void, sitting cross-legged and meditating in the void like a Buddha.
There was no lighting in the basement, and darkness was everywhere and there was no border in sight. Gellert Grindelwald was surrounded by a faint blue glow of magic, and this time his form remained unchanged, and he seemed to be a little older than the last time he had seen Dumbledore. On the test bench in front of Gellert Grindelwald, the magic microscope was constantly flashing red, automatically observing a petri dish, a potion cauldron with a clear liquid, I don't know if it was water, emitting a tempting sweet smell, and in the middle of the table was lying a strange animal, with six legs and ugly whiskers. At this time, the monster and the place where it was disemboweled, and where it was cut remained fresh.
The three wands were placed side by side on the dragonskin mat, and the one on the left was very straight and seemed to be of holly wood, and it was impossible to tell what the wand core was. The middle one Xie An will definitely feel familiar if he can see it, this is the strange rough wand that appeared in Xie An's door - the Yin Pinch Wand that can communicate between the underworld and the wizarding world, but this wand seems to have been used a little too often, with a rough surface and worn out. The wand on the far right is a yew wand, slightly curved.
In addition to the three wands, there was also a time turner on the dragonskin mat, which looked more ancient, silvery-white, and was cast from an unstable material formed by combining a strange magical material with aluminum. It took Gellert Grindelwald several years to develop a material that would greatly enhance the effects of a time converter.
The silver artifact glowed white, and Gellert Grindelwald opened his eyes and looked into the void.
A tall, thin figure appeared in the darkness, short white hair dyed blue by the glow of the magic flames, Gellert Grindelwald looked at Igor Karkaroff's thin chin, the small curly goatee hanging down from his face like an ice pick.
"Igor Karkaroff, how is the investigation that you have been told?" said Gellert Grindelwald's voice without wavering.
Igor Karkarov bowed politely before he said cautiously: "My lord, what you ordered has already been raised a little, our people have done a very detailed reconnaissance near the Tower of London, and have also made contact with several Muggles. Judging from the traces of magic, the Tower of London does have a huge seal, the most complex time fault seal, which can seal wizards directly out of time, forever in a terrible cycle. We also looked at the memories of a few Muggles, and several of them did see the young man you predicted coming out of the Tower of London, tall and thin, dressed strangely, like an actor from a costume movie. The young man was very handsome, but there were no Muggles who could describe his appearance, they just thought he was handsome, but it was as if he had a veil over his face, and they couldn't see what he looked like. ”
"As for the whereabouts of this young man, we are still investigating, and it seems that he left England directly and went to the European continent, and the exact location is still uncertain. ”
"Karkaroff, this youth is the key, I saw him from my time turner, I didn't make a prophecy, but I saw this youth directly in a time roaming. He has blonde hair, a flawless look, and a muscular body. Due to the rules of time, I can't make direct contact with him, but I can feel the powerful magic fluctuations in him. Of course, a powerful wizard isn't really the reason I value him. For this reason, you know, he exudes a powerful power, which I call the power of time. He seems to have traveled a long time to get to this world. ”
"Igor, you know what I'm talking about! This young man can travel in time, he can reach a certain point in time as if he had reached some scenic valley or a familiar village of his hometown, and this is the most important thing for him! I need to know this secret!" Gellert Grindelwald said in a loud voice, sitting cross-legged on the void.
"Of course, my lord, I understand how important that person is to you. I'll do everything in my power to track down his whereabouts and ask you about his secrets. Igor Karkarov bowed humbly.
"No, Igor, you estimate your prey too weakly. As I said, I crossed shoulders with him at some point in time, and I could feel his ability to punch. There was a time barrier between us, but I knew very well that he seemed to sense my presence, but for some reason, he didn't make a move on me. I don't think he can't do this, Igor, although you are now the headmaster of Durmstrang and a well-known wizard in Northern Europe, your strength is too weak, some of Durmstrang's graduates are stronger than you, you want to directly torture the secrets of the time traveler, foolish dreams!"
Igor Karkarov lowered his head in embarrassment, but it was too dark in the basement to read his expression.
Gellert Grindelwald showed no mercy and continued: "Durmstrang House, since Deremouvis Durmstrang founded this magical academy, has always adhered to the principle of pure-blood supremacy, only admitting male students from various pure-blood families, and allowing students to freely learn their favorite magic, which is much better than Hogwarts schools that claim to be righteous and hypocritical. The history of Hogwarts was no worse than that of Hogwarts, and in 1965, the familiar pro-leftist Headmaster Brins took office, and there were some disturbing changes. Bloomins, who had studied at Ilvermorny School in the United States, was full of self-confidence, and in the six years since he took office, he has been insisting on the law of opening hemp seed students to school. It wasn't until 1971 that he won a certain degree of victory in the fight against the Norse Ministry of Magic, allowing ordinary wizards to enter our school. You and I have met Brins before, and know that he is such a strong-willed man, that if you have his talent and perseverance, you can be the most capable assistant. It's a pity that until now, decades of time have been wasted, Igor, you are getting less and less daring. It seems that the comfortable life has completely ruined you, and I don't know if it hurt you to keep you in the position of Dean of Durmstrang College in the first place. ”
"Your Excellency, since I took over as Dean of Durmstrang College, I have reverted to the system of admitting only students of pure blood, and you can rest assured. Igor Karkarov argued with some emotion.
"Igor Karkarov, you don't understand what I mean. Well, so be it, one day, when you understand the importance of power, hopefully it's not too late. What is going on on with the British?" Gellert Grindelwald did not continue to scold Igor Karkaroff, he knew the abilities and temper of this follower, and he hated arguing with stupid and stubborn wizards.
Igor Karkaroff seemed to hear the impatience and sarcasm in Gellert Grindelwald's tone, and after a moment's thought, he said, "My lord, I will definitely take your words to heart. The British Ministry of Magic concealed the truth about Azkaban's escape, and most of the British wizards were unaware that the defected Dementors were roaming the countryside across the UK. There have been recent reports of wizards seeing Dementors, and the Daily Prophet seems to have been unable to turn a blind eye to them, with a magazine called Contrarian publishing reports on the subject and claiming to have inside information. Unfortunately, the magazine has very little influence in the UK, and not many people subscribe to it. ”
Gellert Grindelwald looked into the void and said nothing.
"But I guess Dumbledore probably already knows the truth of the matter, and he's been traveling all over England all this time, catching evil Dementors with Moody and Newt Scamander, who has returned from the United States. ”
Hearing Dumbledore's name, the magical flames around Gellert Grindelwald fluctuated slightly, and soon returned to normal. Gellert Grindelwald asked, "What about Voldemort?"
Igor Karkarov shuddered slightly, and his face seemed to turn pale. Igor Karkarov once followed the Dark Lord, albeit on the orders of another Dark Lord.
"The Dark Lord did not die directly, and it is reported that the Dark Lord cast an improved Imperius spell on a wizard named Quirinus Quirrell, leading the Death Eaters by controlling Quirinus Quirrell. ”
Gellert Grindelwald glanced at Igor Karkaroff and said contemptuously: "Don't be afraid, you have been in direct contact with that Voldemort who only knows how to create fear, you have followed me longer, you should know which of the two of us is stronger." ”
When Igor heard Gellert Grindelwald's words, he really had some confidence and nodded meaningfully. Igor Karkaroff has been in direct contact with Voldemort's magic fluctuations, extremely powerful, the previous Gellert Grindelwald may not be Voldemort's opponent, but now, Gellert Grindelwald seems to have achieved an unprecedented breakthrough, he gave up the Elder Wing, and after losing to Dumbledore, not only did not become weak and sinking, but seemed to break some bottlenecks, at this time, Gellert Grindelwald, gave Igor Karkaroff a feeling of being like a sea of smoke.
"Igor, go ahead and investigate this matter. What really worries me is the time traveler. Leave the so-called Dark Lord to Dumbledore. You have to do everything in your power to track down the whereabouts of that young man. If we can get him to avoid the backlash of time, we will find the true path to eternal life. ”
After Igor Karkaroff left, Gellert Grindelwald stretched out his hand, and the dragon skin mat slowly floated ahead of Gellert, he picked up the aluminum time turner on it, looked at the scales and various symbols on it seriously, and said to himself: "That terrible fluctuation, the opportunity that brought me a breakthrough more than ten years ago, has appeared again, but unfortunately I couldn't seize it." The first time twelve years ago, I was too weak to perceive the exact location, except that the location of the broken barrier was to the west. This time I was so strong that I could almost go on a time trip to get a sense of the exact location of the broken barrier, in the Tower of London, England. Unfortunately, this fluctuation will not help me much, only to find the person who broke through the barrier, and hope to get some useful secrets from him. ”
Respectfully exiting the basement of Newmondgard, Igor Karkaroff returned to Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry without looking back.
The sea breeze blows from the sea to the west, carrying with it the icy cold characteristic of the Arctic region. Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is eerie and quietly perched on top of a cliff by the sea. The peculiar Gothic architectural style gives the first impression of abrupt and ferocious, and from the details, the hideous stone carvings and twisted frescoes fully demonstrate the long-standing school culture of advocating strength and power.
Although this school is co-educational, there are very few girls in the school, except for some witches with extremely low status, there are some talented witches who are so talented that they are against the sky. Most of the time, these witches don't associate with the male wizards in the school, as if they are in a completely different space. This of course has something to do with the fact that the proper use of Transfiguration and magic is allowed in the school, and that the witches, if not careful, can become marionettes for the hateful boys.
Igor Karkarov alertly checked to see if he was following himself. Ever since he made a deal with Barty Crouch to escape Azkaban's prison by betraying the Death Eater list, he had become a little nervous. Every day lives in fear, fearing the revenge of the Death Eaters. After the Death Eaters were once again active in magical Britain, Igor Karkaroff was almost so frightened that he went straight to Africa. It was only later that Gellert Grindelwald's assurances gave Igor Karkarlov a little more security and insisted on staying.
After entering the Durmstrong School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Igor Karkarov felt a little relieved. This school, like Hogwarts School, has a powerful protective barrier. In previous Triwizard Tournaments, Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry held several times, and the total number of deaths was the lowest. After passing through the deep tunnels, you will enter the interior of the castle. At this time of year, when the sun is barely visible, the school is brightly lit and a few students in thick fur capes patrol the corridors. (To be continued.) )
