Squeak~

Old-fashioned horse-drawn carriages drive along uneven mountain paths, and the slightly old sunlight sheds its last rays along the mountains. The light shines through the trees on both sides of the path, shining on the old-fashioned horse-drawn carriages, creating a dappled image.

The carriage passed through the woods and across a stream without much water, and as it crossed the small ravine of the stream, the whole wagon responded enthusiastically to the strike.

The air is filled with the smell of the sea and grass, mixed with twilight and the last trace of heat, soft and cold to say goodbye to the day.

If there were ordinary people here, they would be surprised that the carriage could drive automatically without any animal traction.

In the eyes of wizards and those who have seen death, the carriage is pulled by the shape of a horse, but with the wings of a bat, without a single flesh on its body, and its black fur is tightly attached to the skeleton, allowing people to see every bone of it.

The creature had a large tail like a whip and swung it in the air with each step.

Thestrals, a breed of Pegasus, have been considered an ominous symbol for centuries because of its frightening appearance and the possibility of being seen only by those who have witnessed death.

But this is all just a prejudice based on appearance, Thestrals has a strong sense of direction, can understand the direction the rider wants to go, and flies extremely fast, suitable for long walks.

But Thestrals, who could fly, were now like ordinary horses, obediently moving forward on the ground step by step, and then came to a tower by the sea.

The tower is only said to be because the towering building is so lonely, and in this location with the sea as a backdrop, only its most obvious feature can be noticed at a glance.

The whole building is dominated by gentle low-rise buildings, and the continuous buildings have been dilapidated after the baptism of time. But it seems to have been repaired recently, and the intermingling of the old and the new gives the building a touch of life.

The carriage stopped far in front of the building, and a trembling old man got out of the carriage, holding a box, looking at the building in front of him, full of nostalgia.

Out of nowhere, Krieg came up to the old man, reached out and took the box in his hand, and then turned to leave.

The old man watched the tower silently, and saw the figure that haunted him by a lit window.

Bursting from his body, the old man wanted to shout at the figure, but as if he thought of something, the voice only made a hoarse breath on his lips.

After a strange salute to the figure, the old man drove the carriage back the way he came, contented.

On the way out, the phrase 'For the greater good!' was faintly visible on the walls. ’

This is Numungard, a wizard's prison, a prison that has only held one person since it was founded. And now the only prisoner is watching his followers leave.

"Aren't you going to send him off?"

Rorschach stared at the chessboard in front of him, but spoke to the figure by the window.

As the only prisoner of this place, Gellert Grindelwald was an idealist, brilliant master of the dark arts.

As a revolutionary who wanders outside the law, he has committed numerous crimes with his followers for the sake of one great goal - to truly integrate wizards into the world.

In Grindelwald's eyes, Muggles, that is, ordinary people, were not inferior to wizards, and he did not hate Muggles. But Muggles were too violent to sustain the world peacefully.

In 1926, Grindelwald successfully predicted World War II and made his appeal clear at a gathering of wizards in Paris.

Long before that, Grindelwald was clearly aware that the peaceful hidden wizarding world would only gradually shrink its own space and eventually die out under the development of ordinary people in the outside world......

If you want the wizarding community to develop normally, you must integrate into the world of ordinary people and let wizards live with Muggles......

But the storm he set off failed, and he was imprisoned in a prison he had built......

Now that Rorschach was playing a game of wizarding chess with him, Grindelwald stood by the window and met his followers.

Wizard chess was originally based on the rules of chess, but in the hands of wizards, the chess pieces could move freely like warriors and express their opinions on some chess moves. For example, the wizarding chess in the hands of Ron Weasley often does not stop Ron's command, and is unwilling to use his life to complete Ron's layout......

But now Rorschach is different from Grindelwald's chess game, they just use Transfiguration to turn useless clutter into pawns, and then let them fight on the table.

At this time, Grindelwald can even distracted go to the window to meet his followers, and the level of magic can be seen.

The knight on the table used his shield to block the chainsword of the dangerous wanderer, and slapped Godzilla on the other side with his longsword. The Bishop brandished his scepter, smashing the skulls of the soldiers around him, and then used it as a javelin to throw it at the assailants behind the king.

The king and queen sat on their thrones and stood still, at the mercy of their men.

When Rorschach's pawns destroy the opposing line of defense and come to the king and queen, only the dangerous wanderers remain.

The king and queen stood up hand in hand and stepped down from their thrones, and then they reached out and grabbed their thrones and unceremoniously struck the dangerous wanderer to death.

With the queen and king back on their thrones, the game came to an end.

Watching the carriage disappear into the woods, Grindelwald turned around and said, "Very good, your current magic level has reached the standard of 'passing', and you should be able to deal with the combined attack of one or two Aurors......"

During his time at Newmongard, Rorschach had learned about Grindelwald's high demands, and a combined attack against one or two Aurors was considered a pass? So what is excellent? Facing a joint attack by the Ministry of Magic?

If you think about Grindelwald's past, the standard of excellence may really be in the face of a joint attack by the Ministry of Magic......

Footsteps rang out from near and far, and Krieger placed the crate in front of Grindelwald before turning to leave.

Placing his hand on the wooden box, Grindelwald pushed it in front of Rorschach.

"This is for me?"

Confused, Rorschach opened the chest in front of him, which was covered with purple silk, and a red cushion served as a temporary resting place for the creatures inside.

A falcon-like creature with an eagle-like head and body, but with tail feathers replaced by a tail and two pairs of wings of various sizes.

The Thunderbird, a magical animal that is extremely sensitive to supernatural dangers and can call on storms to control thunder and lightning.

Grindelwald looked up at the contents of the box, shook his head, and said, "I thought they would have to send at least a dragon or a creature like a longhorned monster or a venomous leopard to ......"

Teasing the little guy in the box, Rorschach raised his head in surprise and said, "Your believers are on average in their eighties, let the old man in his eighties go to catch fire dragons and other xxxxx-level magical beasts?" ”

Grindelwald reacted at this time, stretched out his hand to look at the folds of his hands, and said desolately: "Yes, they are all old." Even I'm old......"

Then Grindelwald looked at Rorschach, just like he had looked at Dumbledore, and said in the most bland and serious tone: "What did you promise me, what are you going to do......"

A new world
