Chapter Forty-Eight: A New Test

The panic in Rossi's heart was so great that the breath in his ears seemed to turn into a cold wind.

The owner of this voice, she recognized it at the first time.

It was the first person I saw after entering the dungeon - Grindelwald.

In the midst of the lightning, Rosie sorted out his mind and tried to control his facial muscles to calm down the tension on his face.

Immediately after, she turned around in surprise:

"Sir, you're here too?"

Without answering her words, Grindelwald sneered lightly:

"Explain, why are you here?"

Cautiously raising his eyes, noticing the banter at the corner of his mouth, Rosie said honestly in a hurry:

"I'm following Lestrange, sir."

Grindelwald's expression did not change in the slightest, as if he had expected this, but continued to ask in an indifferent tone:

"Why are you following him?"

"While completing the mission assigned by the gentleman and looking for the baby's hair, I ran into Mr. Lestrange at the Dawn Bar, and I saw that he had a mark on him that belonged to the Order......"

Rosie raised his arm and stroked the seal of the saint with a solemn expression.

"Recognize him as your own person, and then you follow him?"

His eyes turned cold, and Grindelwald said in a questioning tone.

Suppressing the tension in her heart, Rossi quickly explained:

"When I was at the bar, I didn't recognize him because I was worried that he was doing my husband's job......

Immediately after, there was an explosion outside, and Mr. Lestrange hurried out of the bar, and I was worried that he had messed up his affairs, so I followed.

At the scene of the explosion, I found out that he had a cryptic communication with the director of the Magic Enforcement Division, and thought that he might have betrayed him, so I followed him and eavesdropped on his conversation with the director......"

With a chuckle, Grindelwald asked again:

"You should know they're your own since you've listened to them, so why did you follow Slytrunk here?"

After pondering for a few seconds, Rosie said uncertainly:

"I suspect that Lestrange has been calculated. But I don't know if the man was targeting him or if it was against Mr. 's plan. That's why he secretly followed him to see if anyone would be bad for him.

If there is, then the other party may only be targeting him, just the Lestrange family; But if not, then the other party may be targeting Mr. ......"

"Tell me, what are the reasons for your doubts?"

Grindelwald looked at her with interest.

"Uh...... Because it's too coincidental.

A goblin caught under the Confusion Charm strikes at Lestrange and causes him to leave the Dawn Bar; Then, Mike, who was supposed to be there, somehow didn't show up at the bar on time. ”

After a pause of two seconds, seeing that the expression on his face did not change in the slightest, Rossi continued, "After that, the silent one lost control and caused an explosion......

Sir, I have heard the saying that when coincidences happen one after another, then they are probably not coincidences. ”

Grindelwald looked at her thoughtfully, and after a while, he chuckled and clapped his hands in praise:

"Brainy, strong, and attentive enough, you're excellent, Miss Venda. No wonder he became Beauxbatons' best graduate. ”

Obviously it was a compliment, but Rosie's spiritual sense felt a chill, and immediately lowered his eyebrows and made a shy expression:

"Please forgive me for not speaking out before, sir. Although I spent seven years in Beauxbatons. But in order to follow in the footsteps of his husband, in the last two years, he transferred to Durmstrang as an exchange student. So strictly speaking, I actually graduated from Durmstrang. ”

This information was obtained from Mike, and while it would normally be fine for her to claim to have graduated from Beauxbatons, she should have claimed to have graduated from Durmstrang rather than Beauxbatons in the face of Venda Rozier's admirers, and in the face of Grindelwald, who had graduated from Durmstrang.

"Oh! It turned out to be an alumnus. ”

Grindelwald nodded imperceptibly and asked again, "Why didn't you say it before?" ”

Not in a hurry to answer his question, Rosie raised his eyes to meet his eyes, and hesitated for a few seconds before replying in a low voice:

"I want to make a good impression on my husband, and I want to be your personal secretary, so naturally it is not good to brush your face and correct your words when we meet for the first time."

Hearing this, Grindelwalden laughed dumbly:

"You're thinking too much, Miss Venda, I'm not the kind of self-righteous dictator who can't be refuted."

After a pause, he said in a serious and serious tone:

"Miss Wenda, the secretary I need, is not the kind of flattering person who is skillful at drilling and figuring out the thoughts of his superiors; It is a person who has the ability and can make a real contribution to our great cause.

So, if you agree with my philosophy and are willing to fight for the greater good, then please help and supervise me, and if one day I make a mistake, please be sure to correct it in time.

Venda, this is the duty and right I have given to you as my personal secretary. ”

Grindelwald spoke impassionedly, but how much of it was true and how much it was false, Rossi didn't know.

She stared at him for a few seconds in a "daze", then lowered her head in amazement, looked at the [Occlumency] that was about to end, and said in a low but firm voice:

"I'll do my best, sir! For the greater good! ”

……

A few minutes later, inside a coffee shop on the side of the street.

“…… Sir, I've investigated, and I've confirmed with the circus, that the goblin is really just a coincidence. ”

Looking at the leader sitting across from him and the rose-like woman standing behind him, Slytranch explained nervously but surely.

Grindelwald elegantly pinched the handle of the coffee cup, looked away from the iron macchiato filled in the cup, looked back indifferently, and raised his eyebrows lightly at Rossi:

"Venda, you come and tell him."

It seems that after the exchange just now, I have initially gained his trust.

Muttering in his heart, Rosie nodded slightly, and then looked at Slytranch, who was looking at him with a sullen face:

"Mr. Slytrunk, how can you be sure that elf has been caught under the Confusion Charm?"

"That's what the circus guys told me, and I've confirmed that there's a Confusing Charm scroll there, which was just used."

Lestrange was dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to express it in front of Grindelwald, so he had to answer patiently.

Without answering his question, Rosie smiled and continued:

"Why did you kill that goblin?"

"What? A mere goblin dared to use the Diamond Heart Curse on me! Shouldn't I kill him? ”

Lestrange asked rhetorically, with some indignation.

"Then you know that killing him in a bar will attract attention to you, right?" His eyes flashed, and Rossi continued to ask.

"Of course I do, so I killed him and asked the circus people for the reason before I chose to leave the bar for a while."

Lestrange raised the tip of her nose, "One is here for ......"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Rosie's cold voice:

"Since you know that killing him will attract attention, why don't you choose to control him? Don't tell me you can't. ”

"Just a goblin, if I spare his life, won't I smash the dignity of the Lestrange family?"

Lestrange craned his neck.

"Huh!"

Rosie sneered and asked, "Do you remember what mission the gentleman sent you to the Dawn Bar?" ”

Hearing this, Lestrange immediately looked at Grindelwald and replied nervously: "Sir's mission, of course I remember, is to monitor and secretly protect the Silent from being discovered!" ”

"Why do you do something that attracts attention, knowing you have a lot of responsibility? Could it be that the task assigned to you by the gentleman is not as important as the dignity of the family you claim? ”

Speaking of this, she solemnly swore an oath, "For the greater good, the task of the gentleman is above all else!" ”

Looking at the fanatical expression on Rossi's face and the smile on Grindelwald's lips, Lestrange's face froze:

"Of course...... Of course, the task of the gentleman was more important, and I was carried away by anger at the time......

Rosie interrupted him and asked again, "Carried away by anger?" Are you usually irritable? ”

"Of course not!" Lestrange immediately denied it.

"That's it, is it normal for a person who is usually not irritable to suddenly become irritable and then forget that he has a heavy responsibility?"

Hearing Rosie say this, Lestrange immediately nodded again and again: "Yes...... Something seems to be abnormal. ”
