Chapter Twenty-Three: Son of Grindelwald?!

Rove narrowed his eyes and scrutinized the odd skull.

It appears to be made of crystal, shining with a sparkling luster in the light of candlelight.

It's just that the skull, with a broad, flat mouth, a long skull, a flatter top surface, a wider back of the head, and a row of sharp teeth...... Apparently not a human skull, more like some kind of magical creature.

The flames burned violently, and long shadows cast on the stone wall, and Rove took advantage of the light to look around and quickly scan the room.

The room was empty, and the wall in front of me had carved out a square hole, like a closet, where the skull was placed.

It looks like it's the item Dumbledore asked Rove to take!

The boy was about to reach out and pick up the skull, when it suddenly opened its mouth and made a creaking and vibrating sound, and then two blood-red human eyes suddenly appeared in the empty eye sockets.

The two eyes turned around, and after a while, they slowly stopped, and looked at Rove, the young man's scalp was numb, and he subconsciously took two steps back.

The skull stared at Rove, and in a hoarse, smoky voice, "What about Grindelwald?" ”

"Grindelwald in Newmongard." Rove stared at the head cautiously and said, "It's inconvenient for him to come over, I'm here to help him get you." ”

"What's your relationship with Grindelwald?" Skull asked again.

Rove was in a state of flux, he should have said that he was a student of Grindelwald's ex-boyfriend...... Or the grandson of an ex-boyfriend's best friend?

He thought about it for a moment, but said softly, "I'm a student of Dumbledore. ”

"Dumbledore?" The skull sneered, and said in a stiff voice, "Grindelwald got together with that guy again?" ”

Rove didn't know if the skull was describing a relationship, or some kind of action, he didn't answer, and asked rhetorically:

"Who are you?"

"I am the Son of Skoula, the Undead, the Avenger, the ruler and guardian of the islands, the ...... of the Immortal Dragonlord"

Skull said a series of names comparable to "Dragon Mother", and Rove only remembered Skulla.

"Son of Skula?"

He remembered that the Messira had said that the three mermaid sisters who guarded the fountain of good fortune were called Parcelope, Siren, and ...... Skulla.

Rove raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do you know Palcelloper?" ”

"That's my mother's sister, a betrayer." In a snarky voice, the skull roared, "You know her? ”

"I don't know, but I've heard of it." Rove laughed and said, "You're from that island of the Fountain of Good Fortune, right?" How did it end up here? ”

"Grindelwald brought me out." The skull said hoarsely, in a dry and hoarse tone, "But this liar...... He said he wanted to help me get revenge...... But they left me here for decades. ”

The skull cursed Grindelwald with resentment, and Rove listened impatiently, interrupting:

"Your mother is Skulla, who is your father?"

The skull suddenly shut up.

Rove narrowed his eyes, it couldn't be Grindelwald, right?

……

……

In the silent hallway, Karin carried a lantern and waited anxiously for Rove.

He entered the cell, opened another hole in the ground, and got in, but it had been a long time, and he did not come out again, and I did not know if there was anything wrong.

At this moment, an old voice suddenly sounded in the cage on the left.

"Little girl, why don't we make a deal?"

Karin turned her head to look and found a thin old man, standing at the door of his cell, his hands on the fence, his face ashen and haggard, his cheeks emaciated, his eyes sunken, and his hair gray.

"What deal?" Karin asked casually.

"I have gold in Gringotts." The old man grinned, showed a mouthful of yellow teeth, and said, "Countless gold...... can be given to you...... I'll tell you where the key to the vault is......"

"How about you give me a firefly lantern in your hand as a deal?"

"Is it really a lot of gold?" Karin deliberately showed a greedy expression.

"It's a lot, I can give it to you." The old man's cheek was close to the fence, and he bewitched: "You will never run out of gold in your life...... You can enjoy pleasure that you can't imagine. ”

"Then I'll want a million Galleons." Karin looked at him with a smile: "As long as you give it to me, I will give you the lantern." ”

The old man's smile suddenly froze, and then his face was gloomy: "Why don't you want a mountain of gold?" ”

"Then I want a mountain of gold." Karin laughed, "That's what you said. ”

The old man's face immediately became gloomy, and he shouted, "You are looking for death...... Since you rejected my deal, let's die here together! ”

His eyes widened, he chanted a spell as a cloud of purple light shot through the fence and shot out.

Karin didn't expect the old man to cast spells without a wand, she didn't have a wand, so she could only retreat.

But the spell was not directed at her, but at the two lanterns in her hands.

The purple light hit the lantern, and the glass cover shattered, and the two fireflies broke free and flew towards the sky.

The old man burst out laughing.

Inside the pit, there was a sudden low roar, accompanied by a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and a huge tail twisted out a huge arc and stabbed Karin fiercely.

Karin ducked to the side, the door of her cell shattered.

The spiky tail shifted its target and flew towards the prisoner who had been knocked unconscious by Rove, and the sharp thorn stabbed straight into his chest.

The prisoner was awakened by the pain, and he cried out in tears, reaching out to hold the wound down, and his arm was soaked in bright red.

In the next second, the tail dragged the prisoner's body towards the pit, and later there was the sound of the manticore's devouring corpse.

The sound of tearing and chewing made Karin's bones creep, and her face turned pale, so she had to run through the broken cell door towards her room.

When the girl saw the hole opened by Rove, she slipped into it with a sliding shovel.

Rove was communicating with the head when he heard shouts behind him, and he turned his head to see Karin.

"What's wrong?"

"The two lanterns were broken by a prisoner." Karin anxiously explained, "He can cast spells without a wand. ”

Rove let out a soft sigh, then picked up the head and said, "That's troublesome." ”

As soon as his words fell, he saw that the originally flat ground was bulging with four or five fist-sized bulges, and the top was like a fountain gushing with dirt, and small manticores emerged.

The scorpion swarm quickly trapped Rove and Karin in the middle.

Rove looked at the group of manticores and suddenly asked, "Karin, do you know how to dance?" ”

"Huh?" Karin stared blankly at the boy.

"Here, I'll teach you a dance."

“……”
