Chapter 186: When Death Visits, You Should Say......

Austria...... Alps......

Of course, Austria is located in the Alps, which is quite common geographical knowledge.

Diabetes First Aid ...... Insulin......

In the second half of the nineteenth century, two Austrian scholars and two German scholars discovered insulin? No, not this. It's 1991 now.

Newmengard ...... Isolated...... Grindelwald falls...... Dumbledore......

She couldn't be more familiar with the information, it wasn't useful, it was all decades old.

Loyal Spell?

It's a new piece of information, but it doesn't seem to make much sense other than making things worse.

Countless memories and images intertwined, collided, and entangled in Elena's mind, all the scenes, sounds, and faces that the two worlds had experienced kept appearing, dissipating, and reappearing like smoke......

Beneath the riverbed, deep in the memories of the girl's previous life, there seemed to be a tiny fragment that was emitting a faint glow.

- What the hell is it, remember it a little deeper!

Elena frowned in pain, raised her hand to her smooth forehead, and tried to grasp the fleeting light in her mind, trying to connect all the fragmented information and find the only correct path from it.

"Don't be in a daze, take it easy. ”

Just as her fingertips were about to touch the fragment of the riverbed of memory, Elena felt someone hold her shoulder and shake it, and Gellert Grindelwald's voice came from her ears, and the sand rolled in the quiet riverbed, and the sudden muddling river obscured the faint light.

"Don't ......"

Elena stretched out her fingers anxiously, helplessly trying to grasp the light, and then, feeling her "body" begin to float uncontrollably "upward".

Call. Call...... Huh......

Elena snapped her eyes open, her mouth open and gasping violently, as if she had just been pulled out of deep water.

The distracted eyes slowly refocused, and Grindelwald's old face reappeared in front of him, full of concern and confusion.

"Are you alright? ”

Grindelwald asked softly, reaching out and pressing it on Elena's forehead, a layer of cold fine sweat on his fingertips.

"It's just a little bit...... I'll be able to figure out how to save you. Elena vehemently dodged Grindelwald's fingers and shouted. She couldn't control herself, and the intense feeling of vertigo made her almost throw up.

"So, haven't you given up thinking about it? It's not like you. ”

Grindelwald sighed helplessly, his faint eyes fell on Elena's face, and there was some disappointment in his tone, "Such an emotional waste of time, those beautiful dreams in your mouth will never come true." ”

He had thought that Elena Kaslana could be more sensible and cold.

After all, when they first met, this little girl had shown Grindelwald's amazed vision and indifferent chess player thinking in the "war between the wizarding and non-magical worlds" with him.

"You're an idiot, you know what! My dream is that none of you want to die! Can a non-self-respecting cannon and a one-sided choice be the same thing?! If you can't find a way, you'll die tonight, you know!"

Elena retorted incoherently, clenching her fists and slamming them into Grindelwald's chest.

Perhaps for Gellert Grindelwald, who has lived for more than a hundred years, death is just the same as birth, it is just a necessary way to live, but for Elena, whose whole life has just begun, it is really impossible to face death calmly.

“......”

Grindelwald frowned, the expression on his face changed for a moment, and suddenly softened, silently stretched out his left hand and held the girl in his arms, letting the tears wet the clothes on his chest, "Listen, you're only ten years old now." In any case, I, Albus, and most of the people you know will inevitably die before you do. ”

Elena's body trembled slightly, as if she wanted to break free of the old man's arm, but her body went limp.

"Frankly, although you are very noisy and headstrong, the cooking skills are indeed the best I have ever seen. These five days have been the happiest and most relaxing time I've had in more than 40 years, oh no, maybe in more than 100 years. To have the opportunity to arrange the last moments in a very relaxed manner, there is no better gift for me. ”

Elena didn't speak, and continued to lie on Grindelwald's chest and sobbed silently.

The tacit understanding between people is amazing, some people may not be able to become friends for decades, while others may only need a few words and a few glances to recognize each other. Elena and Grindelwald fall into the latter category, even if one is an old Dark Lord wizard and the other is an energetic half-breed girl.

Grindelwald patted Elena on the back, let go of his arm, squatted down, looked carefully at the little witch's red and swollen eyes, and said softly, "Don't forget, according to the agreement, you should be careful to obey my class schedule before Albus comes." ”

"And today's lesson is to don't cry, don't think too much, and then listen quietly to me tell you a story. ”

"Hmm. Elena sniffed hard and nodded slightly.

"As for the content of the story......"

Grindelwald paused, glanced at the vertical triangular eye pendant hanging from Elena's neck, thought for a moment, and then said, "In that case, I'll tell you a story about the Deathly Hallows." It is a legend that only a few, very few shamans know about hidden behind this symbol. ”

Although many of Dumbledore's arguments were not convincing in Grindelwald's opinion, there was one thing he already agreed with: knowledge is only meaningful if it can be continued, and bringing wisdom to the grave is the greatest waste - of course, Grindelwald still insists that it is better to waste knowledge than to pass it on to fools.

"Wait, I know that. ”

Elena shook her head, rubbing her eyes lightly, and replied in a whisper.

"The Deathly Hallows, in the Tales of the Poet Bedou, about the three brothers. The Grim Reaper made a deal with the three brothers, the eldest got the old wand, the second got the resurrection stone, and the third got the invisibility cloak. Legend has it that once you collect these three things, you will make the owner the master of the god of death. ”

"Not entirely true, no one can be the master of death. You have to learn to imagine the real history behind the story, and it's just a metaphor to show the power of those three magic items. Death is not a concrete image, it exists around everyone, but most people don't realize it until they take that step. ”

Grindelwald smiled and shook his head, he was no longer surprised by Elena's occasional erudition, "No one has ever truly conquered death, not even the oldest of the three brothers, just like me, greets death as an equal like an old friend, and then calmly says ...... to him"

"Not Today," Elena interrupted suddenly, and the light in the girl's eyes gradually brightened again.

"Sorry, I may not have time to listen to your story......"

Yes, it's always been there, it's just hidden.

Why can't there be any signs of human activity around, Grindelwald doesn't like Muggles, what a simple truth.

"Huh?" Grindelwald frowned.

Elena said, looking sideways at the highest snow-capped mountain outside the window.

The sparse distribution of the lush vegetation on the towering white snow-capped mountains is the most effective orientation and weather indicator that nature has naturally formed over a long period of time.

"I've been wondering why there is still such a strong wind outside Newmengard Castle in the midst of snow-capped mountains. ”

"Since then, I've been curious about where the real location of Newmengard Castle is. ”

If this is the case, it means that behind the invisible castle there is probably an open plain without any obstruction, but there is no such terrain in Austria, which is located in the Alps, unless it is another country. ”

"Neumengard Castle was built before you lost ground, and both the decoration and construction are in the true Bavarian style. And you don't have to set up a base camp in an unfamiliar country unless, unless, until then, this is your home. ”

"In the whole of Austria, there is only one one who meets this condition. Located on the German-Austrian border, the gateway to the Alps, which belonged to Salzburg in Bavaria, Germany, from 1810 until 1945, seems to be the time frame in which you grew up. ”

"Stop for a moment. ”

Grindelwald rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, looked at Elena for some reason, and spread his hands, "So, what do you want to say." What's the use of knowing where the castle of Newmengard was built?"

"It didn't work. However, I happened to be reminded of the name of the snow-capped mountain opposite, the Untersberg. Luckily, this snow-capped mountain is only about five kilometres from Salzburg's city centre. ”

The light in Elena's eyes became brighter and brighter, she walked to the window and took a deep breath, and opened her fingers to compare, "Just a simple conversion of distances, you can estimate that the actual distance from Newmengard Castle to Salzburg will definitely not exceed twenty kilometers." ”

Once in Salzburg, the problems that plagued the two were no longer terrible.

As Austria's oldest and fourth-largest city, Salzburg is not too easy to find a hospital with medicinal insulin that can treat diabetic ketoacidosis. Not to mention, there is also magic that can help with suppression and healing.

"Maybe you're used to being calm about death, but for me, there's always one thing when facing death: Today is not the time. ”

The silver-haired little witch turned and smiled at Grindelwald, "So, to live." Let's jailbreak together. ”
