Chapter 165: Chapter 3 of the Covenant
"Second ......"
Grindelwald paused for a few seconds, looked at the little Lori who was sitting quietly in the chair, the corners of her mouth curled almost inaudibly, and nodded with satisfaction - if it was just to show his personality for the sake of flouting the rules, such an arrogant fool, no matter how talented he was, there was no need to teach.
In Grindelwald's long life experience, it is not uncommon for a young wizard with talent and magic far beyond his age, but unfortunately, most of the talented people before this seem to understand a very simple truth: before becoming real strength, the potential for excellence will always be just a seemingly beautiful fairy tale.
“...... I'm not going to follow your Hogwarts textbooks to explain spells, and if you want me to teach you magic, then what and how you learn it must be done according to the plan I have specified. ”
Swish!
As soon as Grindelwald finished speaking, Elena raised her right hand high and winked at the old man rather cutely.
"Hmm? Grindelwald raised an eyebrow.
"What if I think your methods and content are unreasonable, or too far from what I need to know?"
Elena wouldn't be so easily diverted by Grindelwald, you know, the purpose of her coming here this time was just to find a way to open the bedroom door downstairs that was sealed by Dumbledore.
For her, whether she can effectively solve the dilemma she encounters is the most important thing, and it is also the prerequisite for all discussions.
"So what do you need to know about magic? I mean, apart from the spells that you learned to deal with the levels Albus had laid out. ”
Grindelwald looked at Elena with interest and asked.
Speaking of which, everyone has their own areas of expertise or disability, and this can usually be clearly seen from everyone's initial interests, for example, Grindelwald is most interested in war magic, while Dumbledore is most interested in Transfiguration.
"What interest you most, Fantastic Beasts?"
Elena tilted her head, replied without thinking, thought for a moment and added, "Of course, it's not just magical beasts, to be precise, I'm quite interested in all the creatures that make up the wizarding and non-magical realms. ”
"Another fantastic beast lover...... I really don't understand the charm of those annoying little things. ”
Hearing Elena's answer, the corners of Grindelwald's eyes couldn't help twitching, and the expression on his face was a little strange, as if he remembered some unpleasant memories, and muttered a little disgusted.
"It's not my best focus, but it's more than enough to teach you. ”
Raising his head and glancing at Elena, whose eyes seemed to be glowing, Grindelwald raised his eyebrows, "So, except for those spells requested by Albus, plus some knowledge about magical beasts, the rest of the learning content and progress are arranged by me, there is no problem, right?"
"No problem, but do you really know about magical beasts?" I remember the first time you were arrested decades ago, it was ......" Elena nodded, looking at the original Dark Lord with a somewhat suspicious gaze, and said with some hesitation.
"That's just once! And with the help of dozens of Aurors, the sneak attack was successful. ”
Grindelwald's face turned pale, and he glared at him with some annoyance, "Besides, since ...... After that, I studied these little things a lot, and apart from Newt Scamander, there were definitely no more than ten wizards in the entire wizarding world who knew more about magical beasts than me. ”
Although Grindelwald may not be able to accurately pronounce the term "barrel effect", it does not prevent him from realizing the strong limitations of his shortcomings on his personal strength, especially after suffering several losses in a row.
"Ahem, but Mr. Newt Scamander and I may have slightly different hobbies for magical beasts. ”
Elena smiled a little shyly, her index finger and thumb spread out, and she gestured slightly in the air.
"As I said, you don't need to worry about this, and you don't even need to bring up your Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them textbook, and with your current knowledge, you can't ask a few questions that I can't answer. ”
Grindelwald waved his hand proudly, unconcerned about Elena's anxiety.
"All in all, as long as I can answer your questions about your hobbies, you won't have any complaints, right? ”
Over the years, in order to pass a lot of free time, he asked Dumbledore to buy a lot of magazines and books about magical creatures as a pastime, and even got bored to the point of almost complete nonsense "Singing Songs", he insisted on subscribing to each issue.
Even if a girl asks a magical animal such as the "scimitar-horned snorer", which may not exist at all, Grindelwald is very comfortable explaining and responding, not to mention, in Grindelwald's opinion, Elena, who was born in the non-magical world, can't ask any decent questions at all.
"Provided, of course, that the question you are asking is not a vexatious and unsolvable problem. After thinking about it, Grindelwald added with extra caution, I don't know why, he always felt that something was wrong.
"Well, of course not...... You're right. As long as you can answer my doubts, you will have the final say on the future arrangements and plans. ”
Elena glanced at Grindelwald, who was full of honey and confidence, raised her left eyebrow slightly, and did not continue to explain.
She didn't dig the pit anyway, and since Mr. Gellert Grindelwald took the initiative to jump into it, she was naturally happy to see it.
"And what's the third point?"
Elena thought for a moment and took the initiative to ask.
"My daily lecture time is not unlimited, 3 hours in the morning, 3 hours in the afternoon, beyond 6 hours, if you haven't mastered the knowledge, just figure it out by yourself, don't disturb my rest in my room. ”
Grindelwald said with a relaxed face, in this way, he didn't need to be vigilant from time to time if a brute force little girl suddenly broke in from the door of the room and shouted, after all, who knows if this little guy will have insomnia at night.
"and ......"
I saw Grind Wharf pause, and tried to say casually in a casual tone, "As compensation for my thinking about the teaching plan, of course, the three meals a day in the past few days will also be handed over to you." ”
