Turn back a little bit.

The city center of Salzburg, Kaigasse.

Aside from the food alley, which is a favorite among tourists, this is one of Salzburg's most bustling commercial districts.

In a few days' time, Oktoberfest, the traditional festival of the Bavarian people, will be celebrated, and many shops on both sides of the street have already begun to decorate the pendants corresponding to the festival in advance, and the air of the whole city is filled with a festive atmosphere.

A silver-haired little loli who looked to be about ten years old stood on the side of the road with an old man in good spirits, staring at the steak restaurant on the side of the street with the smell of steaming barbecue.

As an ancient city with a long history that can be applied for a world cultural heritage, most of the shops and buildings in Salzburg's old town are hundreds of thousands of years old, and the familiar schnitzel restaurant that appeared in front of the girl's eyes strongly proves one thing - when Elena came here to travel in the previous life, the tour guide did not brag, this is indeed a century-old shop.

If there is one dish to choose as a representative of Austria, it must undoubtedly be Wiener schnitzel.

Unlike Schnitzel in other countries, the bored EU has even stipulated that only schnitzel made with tender and juicy veal can be called "Wiener Schnitzel".

An authentic Wiener schnitzel needs to be flattened well to make the meat more tender.

Flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs are then dragged in order to make the skin golden brown and crispy, and the gravy is locked, and finally it is slowly fried in butter, so that the aroma of the grilled meat is so strong that you can smell the satisfying smell almost from afar.

"You don't want to say, you're hungry again, are you?"

Feeling the girl next to him suddenly stop, he followed the girl's gaze and glanced at the barbecue restaurant across the street, Grindelwald, who had changed into casual clothes, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "If I'm not mistaken, you just finished eating a hot dog burger." Before that, I also had a Turkish kebab pocket cake and a whole box of Mozart chocolate balls. ”

"I saved your life...... Hah......" Elena pursed her lips aggrievedly.

As soon as she was halfway through the conversation, the girl suddenly yawned, causing the original cute action to not be perfectly displayed.

"Okay, okay. ”

As if he had been poked in the hole, Grindelwald sighed helplessly and walked across the street.

Frankly speaking, for Grindelwald, the visual impact of waking up and finding four wands neatly arranged next to the bed was much more joyful than the joy of finally surviving.

Although Elena said it lightly, Grindelwald knew exactly how difficult and dangerous it was for a girl under the age of eleven to try to take down four adult wizards.

When he woke up, he had already noticed that the number of iron armor spells stored in the necklace around the girl's neck had been completely consumed, a mess of hospital corridors, broken ward doors, and potions, syringes, and blood in a ...... All of them show the fierceness of the previous battle.

More critically, even in this case, no one was injured throughout the conflict.

- Well, at least in terms of results.

As for the follow-up simple sweeping and concealment work, as well as the memory modification of the four wizards of the Austrian Ministry of Magic, for Gellert Grindelwald, who regained his wand, it was almost as easy as snapping his fingers, and the only fly in the ointment was that a wizard who seemed to have seen Elena run away.

"Hello, sir. Here are the two Wiener schnitzel you ordered, and they've been packed for you, for a total of ......"

The voice of the big manager of the kebab restaurant interrupted the old man's thoughts and pulled him back to reality: it was time to pay.

Even after decades of self-exile in Newmontard Castle, Gellert Grindelwald is still one of the wizards at the top of the entire wizarding world, and his mastery of magic has not regressed much, such as-

"Confundo" Grindelwald tucked out the tip of his wand in his arms, tapping it expertly.

A look of confusion appeared on the big store manager's face, he shook his head, handed the plastic bag in his hand to Grindelwald, and skillfully smiled, "Thank you for your patronage, please go slowly." ”

Let's hope this is the last time we feed today......

Grindelwald flipped the plastic bag in his hand, and a hint of helplessness slipped in his eyes.

A noble and elegant learned wizard, a wizard leader who had almost ruled most of the wizarding world, used a spell to cheat Muggle-owned eaters into eating and drinking, which made the always arrogant Grindelwald feel a little uncomfortable.

"Well, the Viennese kebab you want, be careful...... Wait!What's wrong with you?!"

After struggling through the crowd at the entrance of the store and walking to the white-haired dumpling waiting on the side of the road, Grindelwald handed the plastic bag in his hand forward, and was about to say a few words, when his face suddenly changed.

"I didn't do anything? ”

Elena blinked in confusion, couldn't help but yawn, and reached out to snatch the plastic bag from the old man's hand.

Smack.

Smack.

A few drops of slightly cool water fell on the back of the girl's hand and then on the plastic bag, making a nice sound.

"Is it raining?"

Elena looked down at the back of her hand, and under the light of the street lamp, the water droplets that kept falling slipped on the back of her smooth hand, leaving red marks.

"Or is this a ......?"

The girl felt that her head was a little dizzy, and subconsciously raised her hand to wipe it on her face, and her white and tender petite palm was red, "...... Blood? Strange, when I was hurt. ”

"But don't panic, it's not a big problem. You forgot, I'm a wizard. ”

Raising her head and glancing at Grindelwald, who was a little blurry from time to time, Elena waved her hand nonchalantly and whispered softly and skillfully.

“ur〈wyrd〉”

A hazy white light appeared on the girl's fingertips and flickered for less than half a second...... Extinguished.

"Huh, strange ......"

As if drunk, the girl's lovely face was flushed with a bright pink and she frowned in confusion.

“ur〈wyrd〉”

This time, nothing, happened.

An unprecedentedly strong sleepiness hit Elena, and the girl couldn't help but yawn again, and her eyelids couldn't stop sinking, "I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep for a while, and I'm not allowed to steal my share of schnitzel......"

As she spoke, the girl's right hand hung down weakly, and the plastic bag she was holding slipped to the ground with a clatter.

"Wait, don't sleep!"

Grindelwald's face changed, and he quickly stretched out his hand to catch the silver-haired little witch who was paralyzed in an instant, and Elena, who was lying in the old man's arms, closed her eyes tightly, and there was no life on her delicate little face except for a few blood stains that had not yet coagulated.

Under Grindelwald's perception, Elena, who seems to be scarless on the outside, can no longer be described simply as bad.

Numerous small muscle cracks spread throughout the girl's body, and most of the organs, including the heart, showed an extremely abnormal state of euphoria.

Several uncontrollable forces rampaged through the girl's body, but due to Elena's strengthened body and no direct injuries were caused for the time being, the girl's once overflowing magic power had almost dried up, leaving only a little glimmer of light.

What the hell is going on......

How many times has this white-haired dumpling performed magic derived from UR runes in the past half a day?!

Ignoring the eyes of others, Grindelwald picked up the girl with both hands, and the two disappeared directly into the noisy street.

......

Salzburg, location unknown.

"Don't worry, this kid has just cast too many spells, more than his body can handle. Just need a good night's rest and you should be fine. ”

An old man who was as thin as a skeleton turned around and said, his eyes a little puzzled.

"Traces of runes from Rune, Gellert. I've never heard that you still have a student all these years. ”

"My students aren't stupid enough to even protect themselves. That's Albus's student, I'm just taking care of him for the time being, and tomorrow she'll pack up her things and get out. ”

Behind him, Grindelwald was leaning down to observe a large crystal ball on the table.

Hearing the old man's words, Grindelwald raised his eyebrows, quickly turned around and said unceremoniously, although he said this, his eyes unconsciously showed a touch of warmth.

After a pause, Grindelwald looked around.

"You're safe here, right? I mean...... You know, after all, more than forty years have passed. ”

"With the exception of you, Dumbledore, and Lemay, the entire wizarding world thinks I'm dead. As long as you don't get involved with me, this place will always be safe. ”

The old man shrugged his shoulders and gave Grindelwald an angry look, "And, you know, time doesn't mean much to me. Otherwise, you wouldn't have found me in the first place. ”

"No, the reason I came to you in the first place was only because you used to have a name called Paracelsus. Time may weaken a wizard's strength, but for a healer, it will always only make you stronger. ”

Grindelwald smiled, glanced at Elena, turned her head to look at the silver-haired little witch lying quietly on the bed, after a brief treatment, the girl's face gradually soothed, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, as if she was dreaming something - it was clear that his idea was not wrong.

"At the same time, it is more likely to be frightened ......"

Paracelsus' face couldn't help but be bitter, and he muttered rather dissatisfied, "I'm not like you young people, can you be considerate of the old man who is already 498 years old this year." ”

"What is this? prophecy?"

Ignoring Paracelsus' complaints, Grindelwald turned around and pointed to the large crystal ball on the table, which reflected the city of Salzburg - on the other side of the high wall away from the city, dozens of police cars were driving towards Salk Hospital, where he and Elena had just left.

"I don't believe in prophecies like you do. I'm a doctor, and I've spent most of my life battling so-called prophecy. ”

Paracelsus shook his head disdainfully and grinned, "It's just a small window I set up to observe those short-lived Muggles. ”

"So that's what's going on?"

As he spoke, Grindelwald reached out and touched the crystal ball, and after a moment of fog, the image inside the crystal ball changed to reveal the inside of Salk Hospital, where a large group of officials from the Austrian Ministry of Magic were gathering to search for something to discuss.

"That's right. Paracelsus looked inside the crystal ball, a sigh on his face.

"One thing you said before is that Muggles have become more sensitive to the presence of wizards as time has passed. It was the quickest Muggle I'd ever seen to call the police on an anomaly. ”

"Oh, because this time we called the police. Grindelwald waved his hand and said casually.

"Huh?!"

The look on Paracelsus' face froze, and he immediately smiled dumbly, "I didn't expect you to do such a boring thing, you know, for wizards who can apparition, these Muggles don't pose any threat at all." ”

"Well, you're right. So, maybe I need to give them a little help. ”

Grindelwald took a deep look at Elena lying on the bed, the smile on his face suddenly fell, and a trace of indifference flashed in his eyes, "Come if you want, leave if you want, this is not Salzburg's hospitality." Moreover, there is a little one who needs to be dealt with. ”

"Wait...... Gellert, you don't want to do it again......"

Paracelsus looked at the indifference in Grindelwald's eyes, frowned, and subconsciously groped his right hand towards the wands placed beside the bed.

"My time is over, and I know that better than you do. ”

Grindelwald patted Paracelsus on the shoulder and smiled calmly, "I just wanted someone to know what the real Dark Lord should be like." ”

"Really, really, the real Dark Lord?" Paracelsus' face grew more frightened.

"Don't worry, no one will be hurt this time. I promise you. ”

Gellert Grindelwald shrugged his shoulders, and when he reached the door, he suddenly turned his head, pointed to Paracelsus, who was about to reach out to touch Elena's wand, and said in a particularly serious tone.

"Also, if you're still thinking about your 500th birthday, a word of advice. Don't touch that girl's baby wand, she'll die. ”

......

Salzburg, inside Salk Hospital.

In the face of the shouts of the Muggle police outside, most wizards simply frowned a little irritably, as if there were just annoying mosquitoes outside the window.

"Anyway, let's go back to the ministry first, and we'll investigate the follow-up slowly. ”

Pope Roshier glanced at the Austrian Federal Police Agency, which was waiting outside the hospital, and waved his hand disappreciatively, "Don't worry about these Muggles, there will naturally be members of the [Muggle Adjustment Committee] to deal with them later." ”

Bang!

A warning shot rang out from the encirclement outside the hospital.

"Again, please immediately lay down your arms, give up resistance, put your hands up where we can see, and slowly walk out of the hospital. ”

"What are you still doing, let's go. ”

Pope Roshier frowned, the wand in his hand turned, and was about to phantom away, when his expression suddenly froze, "Huh?!"

Under her magical perception, a familiar magical prohibition suddenly rose in this area, with only one effect - prohibiting apparition.

"Damn, it's an ambush. ”

A wizard's face was a little ugly, and he gritted his teeth in hatred and roared in a low voice, "Who the hell dares to target the Austrian Ministry of Magic again and again! Aren't they afraid of being hunted down by the International Ministry of Magic?"

"Director Rothier, what do we do now?"

"Do you want to use the last resort? hell, I don't want to be hit by Muggle weapons. ”

Unable to perform the illusion, unless they use their magic to break through in defiance of the ban, all the wizards present will be trapped in this hospital.

"Wait...... Look outside! Oh my God, what's that?"

At that moment, a wizard suddenly shouted.

All the lights in the city outside were extinguished, and every building was shrouded in black, translucent fabric.

However, the Muggle policemen surrounding the outside of Salk Hospital seemed completely unaffected, and it was clear that only the wizards in the hospital could see the black translucent fabric falling from the sky, and the successive accidents caused the wizards to draw their wands and their faces were covered with nervousness.

Poppe Roshier raised his head, his eyes complicated as he watched the translucent black fabric descend from the sky, enveloping the entire hospital in darkness, and touched the medical record board in his arms, and his tone was solemn.

"That's Grindelwald. Gellert Grindelwald, that's how he summoned his followers more than sixty years ago. ”
