Chapter 363 Grindelwald: As Expected Of My Baby! Like Me!
"However, this doesn't make sense."
Blake said while rubbing his chin.
"Think about it, since he can be resurrected immediately after being killed."
"Before that, when Winsty stabbed the dagger into his heart.
"Why wasn't he resurrected on the spot?"
"According to what you said, his self-healing ability is so strong that he can even reattach his head if it falls off.
"Winsty couldn't do anything to him at that time."
"In other words, if he is determined to transform his daughter into a vampire, he doesn't have to wait until now."
Grindelwald nodded, "You're right, Blake."
"Maybe this guy has other ideas."
"It's normal for a guy like this who has lived for a long time to have a somewhat abnormal mentality."
"That's why I thought of writing to you to remind you."
"Of course you are not afraid of him if you have the ability, but you have to know that as a bad guy, if there is no way to do anything to you, then attacking the people around you is also a good choice."
Grindelwald was once the world's worst villain.
Maybe it still is.
Therefore, he is very familiar with these conventional villain methods.
Blake's expression turned serious.
"You're right. I'll pay attention..."
"And, based on the characteristics you just mentioned.
"I found that Winsty's father is somewhat similar to the vampires that Muggles say about him.
"If that's the case, we can speculate based on these legends..."
"By the way, the vampire in Muggle legend can turn into a bat...
Grindelwald frowned, "Becoming a bat? Is it like an Animagus transformation?"
"Yes." Blake nodded.
"This is indeed a bit troublesome." Grindelwald frowned.
After all, Nurmengard had been abandoned for a long time.
Therefore, even though it has been rebuilt, there are still many creatures like bats...
If that guy really turns into a bat and hides in the castle, it's really not that easy to find.
"It's not a big problem...as long as there are no bats in the castle."
Blake dug in his pocket for a while, then took out a bottle of potion.
"This is the potion I specially used to drive away pests and beasts when I was traveling in the wild...well...it only needs a slight improvement."
"Then spray it in the castle. Soon, there will be no bats in the castle."
Grindelwald said: "Very well, I don't want a vampire lurking in my school either..."
"That would be a dangerous thing for my students...
"Gee, I think I kind of understand how that old guy feels."
At this moment, Grindelwald is thinking about protecting his students.
Suddenly, I understood Dumbledore's feelings a little bit.
Blake asked: "By the way, where is Winsty now?"
"I asked her to go back to the dormitory to rest. But don't worry, I'm letting Vita accompany her now," Grindelwald said.
After such a terrifying experience during the day.
Everyone can feel palpitations.
The guy died five times in front of him, and each time he died more miserably.
But he gets up and comes back to life every time.
Not to mention the girl Winstie, even Grindelwald felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Thank you, you are so attentive." Blake said gratefully.
"Of course I will do my best to the people you send here."
Grindelwald had already brought Blake to a tower.
He looked up at the tower with a complicated expression.
Blake looked at the tower.
I found that this tower stood in the middle of a number of brand-new buildings, which was a bit inconsistent.
"here it is......"
"A prison." Grindelwald turned around and said, "I was sent to the small stone room above for decades."
"To be honest, I didn't feel very sad during my time there."
"Anyway, I have lost all hope..."
"However, it all ended the day Dumbledore came to me.
"When a person has hope, he has hope of living again. And you, Blake, you are my hope now..."
Blake couldn't help but ask: "You really don't want to go back to the past..."
Grindelwald waved his hand.
"Keep your voice down...if they know that I am no longer the Grindelwald I used to be..."
"They will cause chaos. And I don't want them to cause chaos..."
He looked at Blake, suddenly smiled and asked: "Dumbledore doesn't want to believe me, then...Blake, do you believe me? Do you believe that I no longer have the same ambition as before?"
Blake shook his head and said, "I don't know. To be honest, I don't really know either you or Dumbledore very well."
Grindelwald wasn't angry because he didn't hear the answer he wanted to hear.
On the contrary, he laughed out loud, "That's great... I'm glad you told me the truth directly."
"To be honest, if you tell me that you believe me, I would be a little sad, because that means there is an insurmountable gap between you and me."
"But now... I think we still have a gap, but the gap shouldn't be that big.
"If the gap is not big, I will be very happy."
Blake asked: "You are so good to me... I have always wanted to ask, why are you so good to me? To be honest, in my imagination, you don't seem to be doing such a thing. ....For example, trying every possible means to make a child happy..."
"You want a reason?" Grindelwald asked.
"Yes." Blake nodded directly.
Now that we have communicated candidly, we might as well be more candid.
A super dark devil who shocked the whole of Europe.
It actually turned into what it is now in front of me.
No matter how you think about it, it feels very inconsistent.
"The reason..." Grindelwald sighed, "Dad is good to his son, what reason do you need?"
"Is it because of this?" Blake still felt a little confused. Why would the Dark Lord really care about so-called family ties?
"Yes...that's why!"
"And, don't worry, whether you believe it or not, anyway..." Grindelwald glanced around.
Then he said softly: "Anyway, I won't do those thankless things anymore."
Although the things he did back then were mostly to satisfy his own ambitions, the methods were also very drastic.
However, this also has the intention of benefiting the entire wizarding world.
He didn't want wizards to hide like mice...so he wanted to abolish the Statute of Secrecy.
But, whether it's his "good friend" Dumbledore, or anyone else.
None of them accepted his favor...
Is it because my methods are too drastic?
But... how can reform be without bloodshed?
In the end, Grindelwald, who thought he was doing a thankless job, felt tired.
So they imprisoned him in Nurmengard...
Until now, he is really old and tired.
The ambitions I had back then gradually dissipated as I grew older.
And that enthusiastic heart that seeks the welfare of the entire wizarding world was blown as cold as ice on the high tower of Nurmengard.
If it weren't for Blake's appearance, he would still be in this tower now.
"It's good now. Like Dumbledore, I built a school."
"Occasionally, I will give students one or two lessons
"I'm living a very fulfilling life."
"Of course, I know there are still many people who witnessed that incident who still hate me."
"But it doesn't matter. Since I did it, I have no intention of denying it. They can just come to me for revenge.
"As long as they have the ability!"
When Grindelwald said the last sentence, a sharp look flashed in his eyes.
It seems that he has returned to the state of life and death.
However, in an instant, he calmed down his momentum again and became an amiable and cool old man.
"Okay, let's not talk about the past. I will take you to find Winsty."
Nurmengard Magic Academy was built on the original site of Nurmengard.
So, now they are actually on the top of a mountain at a very high altitude.
Therefore, even now it is still the height of summer.
But it was still as cold in Nurmengard.
Only now did Blake have the time to look at the rebuilt school.
Nurmengard Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry, like Hogwarts, is built like a castle.
Many school rules are even directly copied from Hogwarts.
However, there are many that are unique.
For example, Nurmengard never prohibits night tours.
Moreover, there is no such thing as a restricted book section in the library.
However, it is said that the library administrator was also the best curse-breaker in the original Wiccan Party.
From Blake's perspective, this so-called administrator is specifically used to undo the curses on students who have been cursed by banned books.
This management system is very rough and wild.
However, Blake said he liked it.
Grindelwald led the way and introduced Blake.
"We don't have so-called branches... there is only one college for all students.
"That's Nurmengard Academy."
"However, there are too many students, and the teaching in large classes is actually not very good."
"So, there is better teaching because of healthy competition."
"We referred to the class classification system of Muggle schools and divided the students into classes by drawing lots.
"Furthermore, our Nurmengard Academy of Magic focuses on educating people without discrimination.
"So, I plan to recruit discriminated groups such as werewolves to join next year.
"Of course, considering the feelings of other students, I will assign them all to a special class."
"Although we can't help them understand the curse on them,... any wizard has the right to receive education."
Blake smiled, "Magical talent only blooms in a few people, so we should cherish it?"
"That's right!" Grindelwald clapped his hands, feeling very happy.
He felt that what Blake said was very suitable for him.
As expected of my baby, everything she says sounds like what I would say!
Not long after, they arrived at Nurmengard's dormitory area.
The dormitories in Nurmengard are different from those in Hogwarts.
Each of their classes has two exquisite small buildings as dormitories.
There is one room for boys and one room for girls.
What Blake envied most was.
Each of them actually has a private room!
I remember a few people sharing a dormitory.
Blake felt extremely envious.
If he had such a private space at Hogwarts, he wouldn't have to run to the Room of Requirement for everything.
Grindelwald saw the look in Blake's eyes and couldn't help but ask again: "How about... you also transfer to New Menggar?"
Germany.
"The history of our school may not be as old as Hogwarts, but in terms of educational level, we are confident that it is better than Hogwarts!"
Blake believed that Grindelwald was not exaggerating.
Compared to Hogwarts, seven grades are taught one after another.
Nurmengard's teaching staff can be said to be truly strong.
Just like a Muggle school.
They actually have seven professors for each subject!
Moreover, each professor is only responsible for one grade.
Therefore, professors have more energy to teach their students.
However, there is no way around it.
Because judging from the number of students.
Hogwarts is far inferior to Nurmengard...
Hogwarts only accepts students from the UK.
How can the number of students be comparable to Nurmengard, which is recruiting students from all over the world?
Moreover, these professors... are all old subordinates of Grindelwald when he was all-powerful.
Although most of them are already gray-haired.
But their knowledge is indeed not comparable to that of younger wizards.
Therefore, Blake believes that the teaching quality of Nurmengard is better than that of Hogwarts.
How about it? Do you want to come to Nurmengard? I'll talk to Dumbledore for you. "
Blake smiled bitterly, can we really talk about it?
He felt that these two old guys would definitely have to fight in the end...
"Forget it...I don't really want you to fight."
"Besides, I can't bear to leave my friends at Hogwarts."
Blake declined politely.
"Okay..." Grindelwald actually didn't have much hope for this.
There is no way, who let Dumbledore find Blake first.
If he was the one who found Blake first...
Was he still in jail at that time?
Oh, that's okay...
Grindelwald took Blake to a small building with the sign of the fifth grade girls' dormitory.
"Winstie's student number is thirty-seven, so...she lives in dormitory number thirty-seven."
Grindelwald said, taking Blake into the girls' dormitory.
Blake checked for a long time before going in to see if there was any protective magic...
Because in Hogwarts, there are protective spells in front of the girls' dormitories.
The boys walked up the stairs of the girls' dormitory.
Those stairs will instantly turn into a steep slope, causing the boy to fall down.
Obviously, Grindelwald also noticed Blake's actions.
"Haha, we didn't set up any protective magic against (Zhao Qian), because each of our buildings has a dormitory administrator watching over it."
There was no way around it. There were too many Wu Cui Party members who followed him, and there was no response.
Therefore, he had to find ways to create more positions to accommodate these guys to prevent them from causing chaos.
Dormitory No. 37.
As soon as Blake approached the door, he heard someone talking inside.
But when I heard footsteps outside the door.
The voices inside the door disappeared instantly.
Grindelwald was about to knock on the door.
The door was opened instantly.
A wand stretched straight out...
"Oh..." Grindelwald quickly raised his hands, "It's me, Vita..."
The wand was put away.
Vita Rohir, who looked at least twenty years younger than before, walked out.
She ignored "Mr. Principal" standing in front.
Instead, he turned to look at Blake.
"Hello... you are Blake Green, right? My name is Vita Rohir. I am the vice-principal of Nurmengard."
"Hello! Professor Rocher!" Blake said politely.
Rohir showed a smile: "Thank you for the life-extending potion. It is very useful.
"You're welcome. If you need anything else, just write to me."
"Blake! Are you here?" Winsty's surprised voice came out of the dormitory.
"Yes, Winsty, how are you doing?"
Blake greeted Winsty happily.
"The professors are all very nice to me, you don't have to worry..."
A smile appeared on Winsty's face.
Although she is a transfer student.
However, it was a transfer student who was sent in by Grindelwald himself.
Therefore, no one dares to bully her.
On the contrary, there are still people who try to please her purely because of her background.
Winsty was certainly feeling well.
Blake smiled and was about to speak.
Suddenly his brows frowned slightly.
"Windy, there seems to be another guest in your room?"
"Ah? Who?" Winsty's face changed drastically and she quickly ran out of the dormitory. .
