Newmontard Castle, main entrance hall.

"So, has it been that long?"

Gellert Grindelwald stood in the center of the hall, looking around at the dilapidated scene, unconsciously reminding him of the luxurious scene and the pomp and circumstance of people coming and going, and his tone was quite touching.

In his memory, everything seemed to be stuck forty-six years ago, when the phoenix revolved around the bronze chandelier on the roof, the simple and elegant magic lines carved into the floor, and the sunlight reflected through the floor-to-ceiling windows inlaid with stained glass, he loved nothing more than to stand there and talk to the wizards in the hall.

"Now is not the time to lament the past, you know, we have been delayed for a long time. ”

Elena's voice came from the doorway, interrupting Grindelwald's recollections, "How did you open the gate of your castle, I didn't find the deadbolt and handle on it, it was locked. ”

As she spoke, Elena tried to push the door again, but there was no movement, as if it were a tightly laid wall brick.

Castle gates? by the way, I almost forgot that.

"Newmengard Castle is a castle made by magic, and the gates of course need to be opened by magic. ”

Grindelwald retracted his thoughts, pulled the gray suitcase and walked to Elena's side, swaying with a smile, "I don't have a wand, but it only takes a few minutes for me to open it, but in the meantime, I may need you to help me maintain my magic."

"Magic? I see, don't bother, your magic will stay to heal you. Elena nodded, raised her wand, and motioned for Grindelwald to step back slightly.

"Wait, you won't be" Grindelwald froze.

"It's not a big problem, just leave it to me. Elena smiled confidently, her wand jerked forward, and said in a calm tone, "Bobarda Axia Powerful Blast"

Rumble!

With a loud bang, the closed gate of Newmengard Castle exploded, and the broken door panels were thrown high and fell into the rubble outside the castle.

As Grindelwald and Dumbledore said, there were no guards outside the entire castle of Neumengard, and all protective spells were external, even if the main entrance of the castle was blown open, there was no magical reaction.

"I suddenly felt like you don't need to learn any lockpicking charms. The corners of Grindelwald's mouth twitched.

"Thanks for the compliment, I think so too. Elena narrowed her eyes pleasantly.

Facing the vast expanse of the Alps outside Newmengard Castle, Elena took a deep breath and turned to Gellert Grindelwald, who also had a complicated expression, and stretched out her hand, "Let's go, let's go." ”

Austrian time, a9:41.

Eleven are eleven less than one before Gellert Grindelwald's mana runs out.

——

The most common in the Alps is larch.

The forest below Newmondgard Castle is mainly made up of these tall trees, and the thick pine needles cover the ground, like a natural carpet of nature, making it easier for Grindelwald and Elena to trek through it.

With the passage of time and the decrease in altitude, the oxygen concentration in the forest gradually increased, and the temperature gradually began to warm, and at a temperature of about seventeen or eight degrees, even if you walked one or two inclines in a row, you could barely hold on.

"This kind of pine needles is actually edible, which is rich in vitamin C and carotene, which can regulate blood pressure and increase resistance, and is very suitable for adding to the daily diet of the elderly. When I was in the castle before, I thought that it would be nice to collect a little if I had time. ”

After leaving the castle of Newmengard and entering the primeval jungle of the secluded forest, Elena was visibly uncomfortable, so much so that the girl had to turn her head from time to time and say a few words to the old man to relieve her stress.

"Well, I feel like there's nothing in your mouth that you can't eat. Grindelwald looked around at the fragrant larch and smiled noncommittally.

After a few days together, he was no longer surprised to ask questions such as "You can actually eat this thing?" or "You actually want to eat that thing?"

Grindelwald has no doubt that even if Elena is left alone in the depths of the isolated primeval jungle, he will be able to easily find a way to survive and find a way out, after all

"Bobarda Demolition Spell"

With the sound of Elena's increasingly skilled spell, a dead log that was blocking the two of them broke in two, revealing a passage for them to walk through.

"Are you sure it's here? ”

Elena looked carefully to the left and right, the double disadvantage of short legs and road idiots made her completely unable to distinguish the direction in the dense forest, even with the scars of the explosion spell as a guide, it was still difficult for her to distinguish between the east and the west, but fortunately, she had found a reliable elder before that.

"Don't put Voldemort's ridiculous name on my head. ”

Grindelwald raised his eyebrows, said with some displeasure, looked around, took out the extraordinarily abstract "map" that Elena had scribbled from his bosom and looked at it carefully, "If the map you drew on the castle is not wrong, we have already walked a third of the way." ”

"Almost a third of the way through? It was much smoother than I expected. ”

Elena looked up at the sunlight blocked by the trees, then turned her head to look at Grindelwald, who was obviously a little tired, "Looks like we were able to get to Salzburg quite a little early." By the way, your magic flirt can still support about nine diagonals, right? Why don't we take a break?"

"Magic?"

Grindelwald was slightly stunned, looked at Elena, who was already soaked in sweat behind him, thought for a moment and replied, "Well, that's right, it can roughly support seven to nine diagons." Let's take a break. ”

If the mana consumption does not continue to increase, Grindelwald frowned slightly.

He found that he might have been a little wrong in his previous estimate, and as time went by, as well as the consumption of physical strength, the amount of mana he needed to spend in his body was gradually increasing, and probably, the time left for him was not even eleven at all.

Austrian time, A12:09.

It was actually less than seven slopes before Gellert Grindelwald ran out of mana.

——

"Whew has finally arrived. ”

Elena pulled her suitcase, stood on the side of the asphalt road, looked at the sign on the blue road sign - Salzburg 300, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, pointed to the road sign and happily turned to look at Grindelwald.

"Look, we're here, what's wrong with you!"

I saw that behind the girl, Grindelwald's magical brilliance pressed on her lower abdomen had unconsciously dimmed to the point that it was almost invisible, her old face was curving because of pain, and her eyes, which were originally full of wisdom, seemed to be covered with a layer of gray matter.

"I'm sorry, I may have miscalculated a little bit when calculating mana, and I counted five more obliques. Grindelwald looked up and smiled helplessly, "Thank you, but it's not your fault." ”

Austrian time, a16:34.

Gellert Grindelwald's magic is completely depleted, but it is still three hundred meters from the city of Salzburg.
