Chapter 40: Grindelwald
Rosie raised his eyes at the sound, his gaze swept over the pale blonde hair, and then quickly moved down.
After seeing the other party's appearance clearly, her pupils couldn't help shrinking, and then her heart beat uncontrollably and rapidly.
Thanks to the Daily Prophet, she recognized this handsome face with a hint of evil in itโGellert Grindelwald.
The original Dark Lord?
Is he the big guy the system says it is?
It's really ...... to bump into such a character at the beginning
Lowering his head to stagger the other party's gaze, Rosie quietly wiped away the fear in his eyes.
Grindelwald spoke again:
"Miss Rozier, Mack has repeatedly recommended to me that you are the finest graduate of Beauxbatons, and that you are a devout believer in our cause, bordering on fanaticism. Even if you admire me, that's why I recommend you to be my personal secretary. โ
Speaking of this, his voice paused, and there was a bit of playfulness in his tone:
But judging by the look of fear in your eyes, Mike seems to have misjudged.
Well...... I think......
You weren't-the Ministry of Magic arranged to approach me, did you? โ
As his deliberately prolonged tone fell, Rosidon felt like a man on his back, and sent a dangerous signal in his heart:
Although Grindelwald's speculation is not true, if he can't give him a suitable explanation for this assumption, then his situation is in danger.
"Of course not!"
Pressing the apprehension in his heart, Rosie spoke slowly, and her clear voice had a noble and cold feeling.
Looking up to meet Grindelwald's scrutinizing gaze, Rossi, who had activated [Occlumency], continued, "It's not fear, it's awe. โ
Noticing that the Occlumency on the status bar was still maintained and had not been cleared, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief:
"Although I was referred, I was given the opportunity to fight for a great cause; But I also understand that all this comes from you, and if I can't get your approval, my dreams and the career I want will be gone. If I were to be ...... like that Living like that...... doing nothing"
He bowed his head and was silent for two seconds, then bravely raised his head: "How can I not be afraid?" โ
Grindelwald looked at Rossi for two seconds with a faint gaze, and said noncommittally:
"Listen to Mike, you found a black magic item that belongs to me?"
Seeing that he did not express his attitude of believing or not believing his words, but directly changed the topic, Rosie secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and replied:
"Yes, I got this by chance."
As her voice fell, she pulled the skeletal hookah out of her backpack.
When she took on this role, the system pointed out the magic prop of the skeleton hookah, and at this time, listening to Grindelwald's words, how could she not think of it?
Without hesitation, Rosie handed the gray-covered skull to Grindelwald.
In the coffee shop, Muggles passing by from time to time were oblivious to the anomalies of the two.
Apparently, it was Grindelwald who cast some kind of magic on them.
"Oh, that's it."
Grindelwald took the skeleton with one hand, and rubbed it lightly with the other, "Some time ago, I was imprisoned by the U.S. Ministry of Magic, and almost all the magic props I carried with me were divided and disposed of by them......"
In the end, his tone seemed to be a little emotional, but Rossi clearly noticed the sharpness in his eyes:
"Miss Rozier, how did you get it?"
Obviously, what Rossi said when he took out this thing didn't stop him from getting to the bottom of it.
Hearing this, Rossi's heart beat in a panic again:
How do I answer this question?
The system uses it, but it doesn't give it a plausible source, so I can't say I got it from another copy, right?
He now clearly suspects that I am an undercover agent sent by the Ministry of Magic, and if this question is not answered well, I am afraid that my life will be lost.
No wonder the main quest is to stay alive......
Although his brain was spinning rapidly, the expression on Rossi's face remained calm.
Without a trace, she glanced at the [Occlumency], which was still active on the status bar, and in Grindelwald's gradually playful eyes, she suddenly said aloud:
"I got it from a pure-blood family.
I know that once the seeds of doubt are planted, they are very difficult to eradicate. I also understand that you suspect that I am an undercover agent sent by the Ministry of Magic, and if you do, then no matter what I say, even if I let go of my memories and let you take care of them, I still can't prove myself that my memories have not been modified......
But sir, I want you to know that when I chose you and chose to dedicate my life to a great cause, I was ready to live for it or die for it! โ
Speaking of this, she opened her deep eyes and said word by word: "If you really can't believe me, please kill me!" โ
As the words fell, she raised her head in pretended stubbornness, staring feverishly at Grindelwald.
However, when Grindelwald heard this, the corners of his mouth hooked up with a smile.
He held the skeletal hookah in his left hand, and when his right hand flipped over, the elderberry wand suddenly appeared in the palm of his hand, slowly pointing at Rosie.
Time seems to stand still at this moment, although I am in a coffee shop where people come and go, but my body seems to be frozen by a chill in an instant.
Killing Intent: Mentally suppressed, unable to act.
๏ผ๏ผ๏ผ
Did he really want to kill me?
No, if he kills me so casually, it will surely discourage those who want to follow him......
Thinking of this, Luo Xiqiang pressed the horror in his heart, and while paying attention to the state of the [Occlumency] on the system panel with his peripheral vision, he tried to manage his expression well, and looked at the other party with a fearless expression.
In the silence, a dark green light quietly bloomed from the tip of the Elder Wand.
Before Rossi could react, the light had already submerged into her body.
Immediately after, a sharp pain burned from the wrist of her right hand.
In an instant, her face turned red, and cold sweat dripped down her forehead like droplets.
Just when she thought that she had misjudged and was about to fight to the death with the short-term invincibility effect of the emerald shadow, Grindelwald's killing intent suddenly receded.
"Congratulations, Miss Rozier, you have passed my test."
At this time, he had already removed the smile from the corner of his mouth, and said with a serious expression, "I have left a holy mark on your wrist, and from now on, you will be a member of the saints and fight for a great cause." โ
Bet right!
Hearing this, Rosie couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Raising her arms and looking down, she saw the same Saint Organization logo appear in the same position as her body.
Without looking too much, Rosie raised her jewel-like eyes again:
"Thank you for your trust, sir!"
Grindelwald smiled indifferently and casually handed the skeleton hookah back into her hand: "You keep it safe, and when I need it, you can take it out." โ
After a pause, as if he had suddenly thought of something, he continued:
"By the way, to use it, you need some auxiliary things, you go and find them."
