Chapter 65: For the Greater Good
The afterglow of the remnant sun lit up the vast sky, and the fiery red clouds basked its blood all over the vast land. In the midst of the mountains, stands a tall tower that does not fit in.
Bang!
With a loud bang, the black-clad wizards stationed on either side of the stone gate were shaken high into the air by the violent shock wave, until they hit the stone pillar behind them before falling to the ground.
A black-clad wizard rolled twice on the ground, his wand falling to the side.
Burst!
Ignoring the blood stains from the corners of his mouth, he stretched out his right hand to pick up the wand in front of him.
But will the enemy let him get his wish?
"Ahhh
Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared in front of him, and the delicate calfskin shoes stepped on the back of his hand, and the intense pain made him scream heartbreakingly!
It seemed that his roar caused the dark shadow to be dissatisfied, and the hard, cold soles of his shoes writhed from side to side on the back of his hand twice.
"I didn't expect that Newmengard, who imprisoned the most sinister person in the world, would actually let a group of dark wizards open the door. This is a prison, it's already a nursing home. ”
A deep, magnetic voice with a hint of banter. Ringing in the ears of the wizard in black.
He wanted to raise his head to see the face of the black shadow, but the endless sleepiness made him fall into Alice's dream.
"Drowsy!"
Rick Graves put away his wand and kicked the arm of the black-clad wizard at his feet, looking up at the old building that exuded cold gloom.
"For the greater good?"
Rick chuckled, a look of disdain. Since becoming the king and defeating the king, he has become a loser in the long river of history, and he actually hangs this sentence in front of the door.
Is this an insult?
Crunch~
Pushing open the three-meter-high stone door, Rick didn't enter recklessly, his eyes were as sharp as eagle's eyes, scanning the darkness inside the door.
"And eight? The treatment of the lonely old man in his old age is too good. ”
Soon, Rick used his mental power to detect the number of wizards hiding in the darkness, and he raised his wand again, turning into a cloud of black mist and quickly merging into the dark and deep hallway.
......
On the upper floors of the tower, the last rays of afterglow illuminate half of the room.
"There is an enemy invasion? Ryder, go down and see who is so bold as to break into my graveyard. ”
An emaciated old man opened his eyes, black holes, devouring everything around him.
The shriveled arms blocked the glare of the sunset, and the black eyes looked at the places that were not illuminated by the sunset, and the hoarse voice resounded throughout the Burrow.
As the old man's voice ended, a dark figure turned into a puff of black smoke and drifted down the tower through the cell door.
There was silence in the room, and the old man sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes squinting, his fingers like dead branches in front of him, and through the gap, he watched the sun set.
No one knew what he was thinking.
As the sun sets, Lao Suo lives alone in the tower.
For!
For!
For!
......
The remnant sun vanished, and a figure walked up the stone steps to the old man's door, and he turned around, blocking the last trace of light.
"You are..."
Looking at this strange wizard who broke into his prison, Grindelwald awakened a long-forgotten memory.
"Who....."
The loser does not deserve to be remembered by him.
There was no expression on the emaciated sallow pleated face.
Grindelwald's reaction, Rick was not the slightest surprised. He was just an unknown person, how could he be known by this Dark Lord.
"Rick Graves, from the United States."
"I don't know!"
Grindelwald seemed to remember something, but he had no intention of remembering it.
Looking at the young man in front of him, he already had his own guess.
"Percival Graves was my great-grandfather."
The Dark Lord who terrified the whole world has become the down-and-out old man he is now, and Rick can't help but wonder what made him willing to give up his great ideals.
"I don't know, I've killed too many people in my life. If you want revenge. Let's do it! ”
Ryder's lack of return, in Grindelwald's heart, is already more than lucky.
He closed his eyes and waited for his death. Graves? It seems to be an identity I used back then.
When people are about to die, they will think about their past.
Even the Dark Lord Newgate Grindelwald was no exception, and the memories in his mind were unsealed, and he recalled the time when he was on the run in the United States.
In order to disguise his identity, he did not kill Percival Graves' wife and daughter.
Wei Magpie has a nest, and Wei Gu lives in it.
Using his masterful Transfiguration, he became Percival Graves, Secretary of Security for the Magical Congress of the United States.
Great-grandfather?
Grindelwald reopened his eyes from the black hole, and a pair of pale blue irises appeared for the first time, and his pupils constricted.
The candle flame that had been extinguished was burning again.
He wanted to see the young man at the last moment.
"That's right, only the dead can keep secrets."
"Mr. Grindelwald, you seem to have misunderstood something, I am not seeking revenge on you. I'm talking to you about cooperation. ”
Listening to Grindelwald's nonsensical words, Rick frowned, and suddenly realized that the other party thought that he was here to take revenge. So he put away the wand in his hand and hurriedly explained his intention.
Rick didn't think much about Grindelwald's second sentence, he only treated the other party as old gabberish. Think about it, it is normal for a centenarian who has been imprisoned in this place for almost fifty years to occasionally talk to himself.
He doesn't know anything!
There was a hint of loss in Grindelwald's empty eyes, but it quickly returned to normal.
The subtle changes did not arouse Rick's suspicions.
"You go, I won't say anything, and I don't have the ability to work with you. I'm just a loser. An old man who is about to be abandoned by the world. ”
Grindelwald, don't want to see Rick again.
He turned around and closed his eyes. Sit there like a rock.
Sure enough, when people get old, one is more stubborn than the other. If it weren't for the fact that the people who followed you back then would have become important members of the various ministries of magic in Europe. Will I come here? Did this old thing think I was going to cooperate with him? Let's rule the world together, right? ’
After all, it's asking people to do things, and you can't force it. Before he could open his mouth, he ate the closed door. This kind of thing has long been used to it.
Suspecting that the other party had misunderstood him, Rick hurriedly explained.
"Mr. Grindelwald, you may still misunderstand me. I'm going to work with you, not the kind of cooperation you think. I am..."
"Shut up! I won't agree with anything you say. You kill the guards here. The Austrian Ministry of Magic will get word soon, if you don't leave immediately. Tsk, just stay with me for the rest of your life. "Grindelwald didn't have the patience to listen to Rick.
Endless coercion radiated from his body, reaching Rick outside his cell.

After thinking about it for a long time, I still stayed up late to code words.
After all, because of bad grades, it is rotten. That's only going to get worse and worse.
I'm going to work the codeword!
