The process of procuring dinner was much more difficult than Dumbledore had imagined.

Along the way, almost every street in the city had shops with Grindelwald markings, and Dumbledore had to work hard to find a shop where no saints existed to buy food - after all, he didn't carry Muggle currency with him, and it was somewhat dangerous to use the Confusion Charm against a reclusive wizard.

Fortunately, the Deathly Hallows symbols scattered throughout Salzburg were a clear way to help the old man eliminate most of the shops run by wizards, and to some extent, save some time.

Even so, Dumbledore spent a little more time than he expected to get the "Wiener Schnitzel" that Elena wanted to eat.

Therefore, by the time Dumbledore returned to Paracelsus' hut with various food boxes, the two generations of demon kings, one older and one younger, had already reached a preliminary strategic cooperation framework, and were carrying out more detailed plans with their eyebrows.

"Looks like you're getting along well, what are you talking about......" Dumbledore said softly as he opened the door, smiling.

Hearing the sound of noise coming from the door, the two people who were talking tacitly exchanged glances, and they stopped talking in unison, and looked at Dumbledore with the same harmless expression.

"Wow, Professor Dumbledore, that's a great job, so much to eat. ”

"Speaking of which, I'm a little hungry too...... Let's finish our meal, and then we'll pack up and head to Hogwarts. ”

Both the big and small demons selectively ignored Dumbledore's question, and they all made a hungry appearance, took the packing box in his hand, and ate it attentively.

“......”

Dumbledore silently glanced at the old and young with exaggerated acting skills, and a trace of exhaustion rose in his heart again.

Especially Elena, at least before that, the kid didn't have the courage to reach out and snatch the food from his hand.

There was no doubt that he could even imagine what kind of lawless demon king Elena would become when Gellert Grindelwald returned to school.

However, for Albus Dumbledore, the temporary "anti-Dumbledore" minor alliance between Elena and Grindelwald was originally part of the plan to quickly bring Grindelwald and Elena closer together.

If the students who are not too mature in their thinking, and even some professors, may be influenced by Elena, it is almost impossible for Grindelwald, who was once regarded as the guide of ideas, to change his style because of Elena - Dumbledore is more worried about whether Elena will be tricked by Grindelwald into becoming the next leader of the Saints.

Compared to Grindelwald, who has a clear purpose and a clear line of planning, Elena, who is full of wild ideas, can cause too much damage and uncontrollable power, and when the two join forces, Dumbledore, who is familiar with Grindelwald's consistent behavior, will have a lot easier to deal with.

On the other hand, since Grindelwald's sudden illness, Dumbledore has realized that he can no longer leave Grindelwald alone in Newmengard Castle to fend for himself.

Even if Grindelwald didn't take the initiative to mention this, Dumbledore intended to improve and solve Grindelwald's life continuity and medical security problems - although his original plan was to add more caregivers and magical facilities.

However, after being reminded by Grindelwald, Dumbledore thought about it carefully, and in terms of the environment alone, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which was full of youthful atmosphere, was indeed the most suitable place to place Gellert Grindelwald today.

Perhaps, in a relatively short period of time, it seems that Dumbledore himself has been severely pitted.

But if we take a long-term view, we don't add a safety lock to the two unstable factors at the same time.

What's more, with Dumbledore's teaching experience over the years, as Grindelwald's attention to Elena gradually increases, he will unconsciously want to pass on more knowledge and ideas to this "successor".

There is no doubt that in order to achieve this goal, Grindelwald, who does not have much initiative in teaching, will naturally take the initiative to cooperate with him and participate in the "cultivation plan" for Elena - at that time, it is the stage of attacking and defending the other.

While thinking like this, Dumbledore glanced meaningfully at the old and young people in front of him, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

As for how to smoothly get through that period of "Demon King Alliance", it is even simpler, as long as the pressure of studying at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and the magnitude of daily homework are slightly adjusted, it is impossible for Elena to have too much spare time to wreak havoc.

......

"Hey, old man. Do you think there's something strange about Professor Dumbledore's expression? ”

Elena whispered as she chewed on a large steak and gently poked Grindelwald who was sitting next to her with her elbow.

"Strange?"

Grindelwald raised his head and glanced at Dumbledore, who was smiling kindly, shook his head nonchalantly, and replied in a relaxed tone, "You'll know later, it's normal." Whenever he felt he was in control, he would smile this silly innocuous smile. ”

"But we haven't done anything yet, so he won't use any magic to overhear it. There was some concern in the girl's tone.

Due to the influence of the endless HP fandom in her previous life, Elena has never been very sure about Albus Dumbledore's intelligence level. To summarize a little, there are everything from the omniscient and all-powerful god to the confused old guy, as if the old man's intellectual range has always been in a kind of "Schrödinger's cat" quantum state.

"Don't worry, I know him too well. ”

Grindelwald raised his eyebrows, picked up a piece of pizza and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely, "If you show all the factors in front of Albus, then with his obsessive-compulsive disorder and ability, he can almost achieve a perfect plan." Factors here even include your personality and the hole cards that you might be able to hide. I'm almost exactly the same as Albus on this. ”

"But ......"

Gellert Grindelwald glanced over at Elena, and flashed past the torn down gates of Newmengard Castle, the hollowed-out termite nests, the mountain path that blasted out a path, and the awake and dizzy Ministries employees......

As a chess player, the most fearful thing is not that the opponent is not missing, nor is it cheating or deliberately disturbing the mood, or even overturning the chessboard will actually be taken into account - but if you set up the chessboard and prepare for a fight, the opponent suddenly says: "Why don't we see who can put the chess pieces high?"

"Do you know what people like me and Albus fear the most?" said the old wizard, smiling slightly, looking at Elena with admiration, "It's just a little guy like you who is unrestrained, lucky, and destructive. ”

？？？

Elena turned her head and looked at Grindelwald with a blank face, why did she always feel as if she had been scolded when it was a tone of praise?!
