A moment later.

Following the stone staircase that spiraled from the Tower of Newmongaard, Elena re-entered the "prison cell" of the original Dark Lord with a wary expression.

There are no imaginary magic traps, no expected annoyed spell attacks, and no sudden punches and kicks...... The gray trunk that Dumbledore had left behind remained at the end of the bed, and the room had not changed in any way, except for the missing door panel.

Grindelwald sat quietly on the hardwood bed in the corner of the room, and when he heard footsteps below, the old man raised his head and glanced at Elena, who had then walked into the room, and frowned slightly almost inaudibly.

Compared with the way she left before, the girl's face had a shallow trace of smoky black ash, and she looked a little embarrassed.

"Little one, ...... on"

Grindelwald raised his hand, grabbed the only thin blanket on the bed and threw it into Elena's arms, and said with a cold face, "Since you have taken all the door panels, then you can bring the blanket with you." lest I freeze to death in my castle and Albus come to trouble me again. ”

"Huh?"

Elena looked at the neat and tidy thin blanket in her hand for some reason, and then at the cool old man sitting in the corner, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned - I didn't expect this old man to be quite cute.

Looking at it like this, the Dark Lord may have been a very gentlemanly tsundere warm man, no wonder there are always rotten girls in later generations who like to match him with Dumbledore.

While thinking nonsense, Elena shook her head with a smile and put the blanket in her hand next to Grindelwald's bed, "I don't need this, you may not know it yet, I have a super luxurious large room downstairs, which is the ...... next to the exit below the tower"

"Alright, hard-mouthed little girl, don't think I don't know what you've done. ”

Grindelwald raised his eyebrows and let out a sneer, interrupting the girl's next words.

No one knows better than Grindelwald what the state of Newmengard Castle is now. During these decades of self-confinement, he witnessed and felt first-hand how this once glorious castle gradually fell into ruin.

What's more, the room that Elena said happened to be the room he used to live in. Not to mention the deaf and dumb caretaker, even in the entire European wizarding world, no one dared to tidy up and mess with his former bedroom.

After all, in everyone's mind, the bedroom of the evil dark wizard Grindelwald must have all kinds of terrible black magic left.

"Huh, how do you know I'm ......?"

Elena's eyes widened, and in her impression, she hadn't used her innate [Charm Humanoid] skill on Grindelwald, because she didn't even cast her magic in front of him for fear of being robbed of her wand.

You must know that after entering the wizarding world for so many days, whether it is the goblins at Gringotts or the professors in the school, so far they can recognize her as a half-blood girl, and Albus Dumbledore is the only one.

"If the door panel is burned, you can't burn this castle anyway. ”

Grindelwald waved his hand disapprerovingly, his years in prison had made him tolerant of many things.

As for the ease of being able to tell the girl's lineage at a glance - since he planted two or three times in a row on Newt Scamander's pesky critters, Grindelwald has made up for his knowledge of magical creatures.

"With your insignificant cleverness, you think you can hide it from my eyes?"

A faint look of trium appeared on Grindelwald's wrinkled face, and he glanced at Elena, who was about to speak, and continued.

"However, little one, you do have a good eye. The best view of the castle is indeed the bedroom I used to have directly below the tower. Although most of the windows are broken, the fireplace and living room are probably unusable. But if you think about it, if you clean up the semi-enclosed bathroom a little, you can barely live in it......"

Seeing that Grindelwald's brain supplement was getting more and more outrageous, and even began to tell her how to sleep in the toilet in a comfortable way, Elena couldn't help but interrupt, "No, I think you may have misunderstood. Now that room has been completely restored and has become very luxurious and comfortable. ”

Grindelwald, who was interrupted by the girl, was not angry, but looked at Elena with interest and asked rhetorically, a hint of banter flashing in his eyes. "Well, Miss Caslana, can you describe what that room looks like now, how luxurious and comfortable?"

He would have liked to hear what a luxurious and comfortable bedroom could be made up by this stubborn little girl who grew up in a Muggle orphanage under the age of eleven - Dumbledore was not entirely wrong about what he said, after all these years of being alone, Grindelwald really needed some interesting stories to relieve his boredom.

Glancing at Grindelwald, who looked like he was listening to a joke, Elena frowned rather unhappily.

Originally, according to Elena's original intention, she was not going to show off in detail in front of Grindelwald the comfortable room that Dumbledore had prepared for her, so as not to make him jealous or mentally unbalanced when he heard it.

However, since Grindelwald wants to take the initiative to beg for abuse, then she just doesn't have to worry about it anymore.

You know, she has long wanted to find someone to show off the super luxurious bedroom that belongs to her.

Elena recalled a little and said, "The living room is a golden-red carpet with a large golden lion motif......"

"Oh, the decoration of Gryffindor House at Hogwarts. Grindelwald nodded.

"The bathroom is silvery-green, and there are some quaint symbols painted on the floor, which looks a bit like i......"

"Poor little with shallow knowledge, it's a runi isa, not some ordinary alphabet. ”

Grindelwald subconsciously commented and raised his eyebrows, "It seems that your Slytherin House has good taste, sorry, please continue to ......"

"The bedroom is yellow-black ......"

"Oh, it's your Hogwarts Hufflepuff again. Well, if I'm not right, the study should be your Ravenclaw sky blue and bronze, right?"

Before Elena could finish, Grindelwald grinned, and continued Elena's words.

Having known Albus Dumbledore for decades, Grindelwald knew no less about Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry than most Hogwarts graduates. To be precise, because of Dumbledore's connections, perhaps he knew more about certain systems and campus layouts.

Glancing at Elena, who had nothing to say, Gellert Detective Grindelwald, with a look of seeing through the truth, he concluded proudly, "But, in general, for a child. It's pretty good, I almost thought Newmengard had become Hogwarts. ”
