Dumbledore and Grindelwald, two of the world's greatest wizards, showed off their magical prowess in this vast clearing.

Karl stood not far away, looking at the two men with a solemn face, and from time to time he used his wand to pick out the spells that were deflecting towards him.

In this level of combat, the magic that shoots from the tip of the wand of any two of them is terrifyingly powerful, even if it is just a disarming charm, after being hit, it is not as simple as taking off the weapon.

As soon as Karl flipped a stun spell, the red light hit the ground in the distance, blasting a large crater more than a meter in diameter.

Because of how long they had fought before, there seemed to be some kind of unusual tacit understanding between Dumbledore and Grindelwald, and neither directly attacked each other with a killing curse.

But despite this, the magical power contained in the air made him feel as if he was facing a blade as if he was standing next to him.

The battle didn't last long, though.

Suddenly, Grindelwald and Dumbledore, who were flashing rapidly, suddenly stopped, and it only took a blink of an eye to go from extreme movement to extreme stillness.

It's like a storm, it comes and goes.

Two old men with completely different temperaments stood opposite each other in this way, opposing each other, but harmonious and unified.

In the surrounding open space with a radius of several hundred meters, there were large craters blasted by the magic that the two of them shot out.

Dumbledore and Grindelwald looked at each other calmly, the fierce battle just now hadn't even caused even the slightest disturbance in their breathing.

After staring at each other for a long time, Grindelwald suddenly took the lead in lowering his arm, "Okay, Albus, you have an old wand, if you continue like this, I won't be able to beat you." ”

With that, he turned to Carl and said, "See, boy, this is how the best wizards fight." ”

Karl nodded silently.

Speaking of which, although a large area around the area was made by the battle between the two to look like the surface of the moon, in fact, the damage caused by Grindelwald's battle this time was not as great as the damage caused to the environment by simply pulling out trees with magic power before.

But there is no comparison between the two at all.

Every spell released by the two of them is extremely subtle, no matter the timing or angle of the release, the power is like a textbook.

No, it's even better than the textbook, and ordinary wizards may not be able to stop the two of them at all.

Seeing Karl nodding, Dumbledore immediately frowned and said to Grindelwald, "Aren't you going to give up?"

Grindelwald looked at him disdainfully, "Give up, how is it possible?"

He pointed to Carl and said, " You want this kid to follow the route you planned, first the best student in the whole grade, the special contribution award, and then I guess there will be a prefect, a student council president or something, and after graduation, he will become a celebrity directly, and then rise all the way, and finally inherit your mantle, and it is best to surpass you, after all, he is not like you who can't control his greed for power, oh, yes, I remember, his adoptive parents are Muggles, and you want him to be the Minister of Magic, leading wizards and Muggles to a lasting peace or something, isn't it？”

Without waiting for Dumbledore to retort, Grindelwald continued, "You think I went to such great lengths to lure you away from Hogwarts just to see for myself how this kid became a waste under your guidance?"

Grindelwald shook his head, "You care too much about the established rules, Albus, Carl should break the established rules instead of maintaining them! I don't want you to treat this kid like the other boy, and turn this kid into a tool in your hand, a pawn!"

"Okay, don't look at me like that, don't play tricks this time, I'll be caught, take me back to Newmengard, I've been out for so long, I've missed 'home' a little. ”

With that, simply stretch out your hands neatly.

Standing still for a long time, Dumbledore sighed heavily, the old man who had been fighting with Grindelwald for a long time just now suddenly showed a trace of fatigue at this time, but only for a moment.

With a wave of his wand, he handcuffed Grindelwald's wrists, turned his head, and repeated the previous words to Carl: "Carl, go back to Hogwarts, and when this is over, I'll have a good talk with you." ”

With that, grabbing Grindelwald's shackles and phantom shifted.

However, a moment later, there was a disturbance in the air, and Dumbledore and Grindelwald reappeared.

"What?" Dumbledore and Grindelwald looked around suspiciously, realizing that they were still there.

Here, Karl lowered the wand he was holding in his hand and looked at the two of them with empty eyes.

"Seriously, the tone of your voice just now is as if my life has been planned by the two of you......"

"Of course, none of this matters......"

"The point is, will you two give me an explanation about my background now?"

......

The snow was still falling, and it was getting heavier and heavier, and the goose-feathered snowflakes had dyed the hair of Carl, Dumbledore, and Grindelwald white.

"Boy, you've taken me aback again. Grindelwald looked at Karl and said.

"Carl, it's not that easy to get there. Dumbledore said, a rare hint of doubt in his eyes.

The magic that imprisons phantom shifting is theoretically not something that a wizard can use at all, it is a strategic-level spell, extremely complex and extremely large, and it is not used for duels between wizards at all.

It usually takes multiple wizards who specialize in this magic to cast a spell together to have an effect within a certain area.

Not only can a specific area be confined if necessary, but also monitored.

Generally, the Department of Magical Traffic, a wizard government department at the level of the Ministry of Magic, is in charge, and after many years, it has been spread across the country to form a monitoring network.

Once built, it will act like a monitor that can be found everywhere in the Muggle world in the future, worthy of the infrastructure of the wizarding world.

However, since Voldemort's fall from power, the wizarding world has ushered in a long period of peace, and wizarding governments in various countries have paid less and less attention to it.

In addition, this monitoring network needs to be maintained every year, otherwise the magic effect will be weakened day by day, and countries will no longer want to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to maintain, so it will gradually be abandoned.

"I remember that there was no magic in the forbidden section. Looking at Karl, Dumbledore said.

"Yes and no. Carl nodded.

"And what about you?" Dumbledore wondered.

Carl laughed, "You just used it, Professor, you forgot?"

Hearing this, Dumbledore and Grindelwald looked at each other with horror in their eyes.

......

"Since when, Carl?"

Looking at Karl, Dumbledore asked curiously, his blue eyes looking back and forth on Karl, as if looking at a rare treasure.

Carl had seen this kind of gaze many times before, and he had become accustomed to it.

"It always has been. Carl said with a smile.

"You didn't tell me that before, boy. Grindelwald said incredulously, "I thought it was just an accident." ”

"You've never asked that, have you?" Karl looked at him helplessly.

"It's no ordinary talent, Carl. Looking at Karl, Dumbledore exclaimed.

"No wizard can learn all the magic just by looking at it once. ”

Carl shook his head, "I can't talk about learning, I can only say that I can use it." ”

Hearing this, Dumbledore looked at Grindelwald again, and the latter looked at the former as well, and then both looked straight at him at the same time.

"What?" Karl wondered.

The reaction of the two was a bit too much.

"Karl, your humility, how many wizards can't be like you even at the age of me and Gellert. Dumbledore exclaimed.

"I think it's this humility that keeps you going. ”

It turned out to be this.

Carl shook his head, this is the difference between Eastern and Western ideas and cultures, and it has nothing to do with humility.

Of course, he was a humble man—just as he never boasted of his own appearance in front of others.

After a moment's emotion, Dumbledore seemed to finally compromise, "I think, Carl, we have to change places and have a good talk." ”

As he spoke, he flicked his wand, and the shackles on Grindelwald's wrists were automatically opened, falling to the snow and disappearing.

"Gellert, you'd better come along. ”

......

A few hours later, it was getting dark, and a group of vampires such as Carlisle, who had passed out on the snow, Billy Black and other Kuirut wolves, and Adam and other Aurors of the Magical Congress of America woke up, and a group of people looked at each other suspiciously, looking at each other in confusion.

"What happened?"
