"Very clever magic, it looks a lot like the elves' favorite trick before magic contracts were fully popular: simple, hidden, and effective. ”

Gellert Grindelwald picked up the letter and flicked it thoughtfully.

Although he could vaguely guess that the spell Dumbledore cast on the letter paper was some kind of variant of fairy magic, but that was all, let alone reproduce the magic effect, and even cracking it would take a little effort - before he knew it, Albus had come that far in the realm of magic?

After a few seconds of distraction, Grindelwald came back to his senses, shook the letter in his hand at Elena, and shrugged his shoulders with a smile and a somewhat helpless expression.

"Looks like something big is happening outside the castle. I don't have the impression that Albus is the kind of person who often changes plans on the spur of the moment. ”

To be precise, Grindelwald had the impression that Dumbledore's life seemed to be in a constant rhythm - the only few accidents and out-of-the-ordinary events in the past few decades were mostly due to him.

"I don't know what's going on out there, I just know that you're probably going to die. Take it!"

Since seeing the change of characters, Elena's face has completely cooled, there is no trace of a smile on her delicate face, and she is a little irritable Grindelwald snatched the letter paper from her hand and crumpled it into a ball, and took the initiative to stuff her black walnut wand into the old man.

"Didn't you say you knew three or four simple spells? ”

Until now, the unresponsive old man didn't seem to realize the gravity of the whole thing.

As a rune of ancient origin, the reason why the magic word "your" can be the cornerstone of most healing spells is that it is essentially a revival and activation of life force.

The super immunity and unlimited recovery power brought by the magic text can indeed be regarded as a kind of "omnipotent" healing magic in theory.

However, omnipotence does not mean omnipotence.

When the cause of the disease is due to a deficiency rather than an external factor – for example, acute diabetic ketoacidosis caused by insufficient insulin in the body – the role of the mysterious "your" magic begins to pale and become weak.

More precisely, if Elena's guess is correct, the use of the Revitalizing Magic Word to heal in this case is actually an act of drinking to quench thirst:

Under the influence of magic, the cells will appear extremely active. Correspondingly, the production of ketones will only be more vigorous, and once the magic inhibition is stopped, the blood ketone concentration seriously exceeds the standard Grindelwald may not even have time to be rescued.

"This wand, well......"

After Grindelwald took the wand, his wrist shook subconsciously, his brow furrowed, and he let out a soft snort of surprise.

After being stunned for half a second, Grindelwald suddenly looked up at the silver-haired little witch who was leaning in front of him, the old man's tightly knit brows slowly relaxed, and solemnly put the wand back into the girl's hand, smiling with relief, a helplessness flashed in his eyes.

"You're right, I really can't use your wand. ”

"Huh?"

Elena looked at the wand that returned to her hand in less than ten seconds, and then reacted quickly, and anxiously reached out to grab the old man's palm, while taking out another wand from her coat pocket, trying to hand the two wands back together.

"You're trying, trying! it really works, I've got two here, if it's you......"

"No, once and a hundred times, the result is the same. ”

Grindelwald looked at the girl's long, shimmering silver hair, smiled and shook his head, "Let me guess, the cores of these two wands must be made of your hair, right? ”

Even though Grindelwald hadn't touched his wand for decades, the memory that had gone deep into his bones hadn't faded, and from the first moment he touched Elena's wand, Grindelwald's magic couldn't wait to flow out of his fingertips - and then, the wand "spit out" all his magic back.

For Grindelwald, who has a keen sense of magic, there is a palpable sense of resistance up and down the entire wand, as if a young beast with fangs and claws lives inside the wand, or rather, a wayward trumpet white-haired ball.

"Go find a potion test tube, and if I can, I'd like to try to save some memories and give them to Albus, who knows how to use them. Grindelwald thought for a moment, looked into Elena's eyes, and said very seriously.

"Wait, what do you mean by that?!"

Elena stood up suddenly, clenched her wand tightly, resisted the urge to punch the face of the calm, smiling old man in front of her, pointed at herself, and shouted in a voice that almost roared.

"Even if you can't cast spells, you can teach me! just a few simple spells, you know, I'm very talented at learning magic. ”

"You can't learn it, but you know it very well in your heart, as if you still can't master the lockpicking charm. ”

Grindelwald looked at the girl in front of him calmly and shook his head, "Deceiving yourself is always the most difficult, not to mention that these are complex spells that can only be mastered by intermediate healers, you can't take me this ...... Well, diabetic ketoacidosis is thought to be a stomachache, right?"

"I'm ......" Elena's lips moved, and the look in her eyes darkened.

For the first time in her life, she felt the shackles of the scientific theories she once prided herself on, and the powerlessness of magic.

"So, instead of doing some ugly fearless struggle, tell me a little more about what diabetic ketoacidosis is, at least let me know which guests might greet me when I stop my magic. ”

Grindelwald stretched out his free left hand, rubbed Elena's little head, and smiled nonchalantly.

As a Grindelwald who had studied the Deathly Hallows in depth, he was not so afraid of death, and when death was unavoidable, maintaining the greatest amount of peace was the best response to death.

Although there are many regrets, on the whole, such an ending is at least much better than a person dying alone in his sleep.

"There are three levels of diabetic ketoacidosis, and what happens to you is severe ketoacidosis. ”

"It's just that, so far, due to the inhibition effect and activity recovery effect produced by the UR magic text, all the negative reactions of the body have been forcibly covered up for the time being. ”

"Once the magic stops, the high blood ketones that accumulate in your body will first inhibit your respiratory center and cause respiratory paralysis. Then, in a very short period of time, dehydration will occur, leaving you in a coma, during which your blood pressure and body temperature will continue to drop along with circulatory collapse. ”

"In the end, it will die. ”

Smack.

A tear fell on the back of Elena's fist on her knee.

Elena took a deep breath and lowered her eyes to look at her fist, trying not to look at Grindelwald's face lest she cry - although Grindelwald didn't blame her in the slightest, the girl knew in her heart that it shouldn't have happened, if it weren't for her.
