Chapter 472 Tree Stealer Rove
If it is said that Rove is most afraid of anyone, besides the Slytherin who killed Ravenclaw, it is probably the Corvinus Gaunt who has met several times.
Gaunt, who was born in the eighteenth century, has lived for nearly three hundred years. Dumbledore, who is still young, is just a junior in front of him!
As a descendant of Slytherin, Corvinus Gaunt was the first wizard to come into contact with the basilisk. He has been the director of the Department of Mysteries for a hundred years and has been studying the remains left by ancient wizards.
According to Grindelwald, he also went to that island and gave birth to a son with the youngest of the three Siren sisters...
The more Rove knew, the more Rove felt that Corvinus Gaunt was mysterious and unpredictable, and his whole body was covered in an impenetrable fog.
Of course, this is not something Rove has to consider now, he is just an ordinary little wizard, and he is not capable of taking care of so many things.
He now cares more about the elves that infeste Nurmengard than he does now.
In the next few days, Rove squatted around the castle, waiting for their arrival.
As for why not go to the back mountain mentioned by Grindelwald and look for the traces of the Evil Spirit, the reason is simple:
There are plenty of magic and traps around Nurmengard, making it dangerous.
Rove also kept Dumbledore's instructions in mind and resolutely did not leave the castle to run around.
The juvenile sits on the sidelines and waits for the rabbit, which is also completely effective against the evil spirit.
As extremely dangerous magical creatures, ghouls are not interested in adult wizards, but they are unusually interested in children.
They will use their bewitching calls to lure children out and then eat them.
Rove is already fourteen years old. Although he can't be called a child, he still has a youthful look. Compared with Grindelwald, he must have a strong temptation to those evil spirits.
But after waiting for four days in a row, Rove didn't see a single goblin, and Grindelwald's daily menu included such magical creatures.
This made Rove even more suspicious that Grindelwald was deliberately using his fondness for magical creatures to lure him out of the castle.
The old man is very bad!
Rove thought he had sensed Grindelwald's "sinister intentions", so he decided to do the opposite, directly abandoning the evil spirit, and started the idea of the elder tree.
That elderberry from Avalon, its leaves, have the effect of quick restoration of mana.
Although Rove has the magic of replenishing mana, to be honest, he has not tried liquid exchange with others to restore mana.
This kind of magic is not the same as whether it is... It is not as simple and practical as eating leaves.
So, on the night of the sixth day, Rove quietly came to the top of the tower building while the night was dim, and planned to steal the elderberry.
Rove didn't think about transplanting the whole tree, he just planned to break off a branch and cut it in his box.
Just when the young man chose a thick branch and was about to start, an old voice suddenly sounded in the dark night.
"What are you doing here?"
Rove turned his head, and was surprised to find that Grindelwald was standing in the corner staring at him. He wasn't here just now, and he came so fast.
"It's so late, you haven't slept yet?" Rove didn't feel embarrassed about being caught at all, he just showed a warm smile and said, "It's not good for the elderly to stay up late."
"The older you get, the less you need to sleep." Grindelwald walked towards the boy, and he said calmly:
"And I'm already very old, I don't have much sleep time every day, and when I have nothing to do in the middle of the night, I just wander around, but you... what are you doing here?"
"I'll help you water this tree." Rove laughed and said, "Then you can continue to take a walk here, I'll go back to sleep first."
Rove hurried forward, and when the two passed by, Grindelwald suddenly said:
"There is no tree species that cannot be planted."
Rove stopped abruptly and turned to look at Grindelwald. The old man continued:
"I have also tried cuttings, but they all failed, otherwise there would not be only such a tree now... You need a tree species, only branches are not enough."
"Is that so?" Rove said regretfully, "Then there is no other way."
"Who said there is no way?" Grindelwald said with a slight smile on his wrinkled face:
"I happen to have the last seed left here."
The old man took out a seed from his pocket, shook it lightly in front of the young man and said:
"For you."
Rove didn't inoculate, just raised his eyebrows and asked, "You won't give it to me for free?"
"Free is the most expensive thing. I really give it to you for free, but you dare not take it." Grindelwald's blue eyes shone brightly in the darkness.
"I need you to do me a... small thing."
Rove stared at Grindelwald with vigilance in his eyes and said:
"You don't want me to kill Corvinus Gaunt for you, do you? Then you can complete the deal with Egg."
"I would like to, but with your strength, can you kill Corvinus Gaunt?" Grindelwald laughed, "Besides, even if I am willing to let you go, Albus will not agree .”
Rove took a breath and said, "Then what do you want me to do?"
"I want you to help me save Egg's head and bring him back to Valhalla." Grindelwald said.
Rove frowned and shook his head: "I'm afraid I can't do this either, I won't go to that island."
"Why?"
“I met a captain last year named Carlos who warned me not to go looking for the Fountain of Fortune,” Rove explained:
"He said there was a curse there, it was very dangerous, and all the wizards who went there died."
"That's just his personal speculation, more out of fear of the unknown." Grindelwald smiled, "I've been there too, don't I live well?"
Rove didn't speak, anyway, regardless of whether there was a curse or not, he didn't intend to take risks in such an unknown place.
Grindelwald no longer comforted him, but said, "Don't worry, I won't force you to go..."
"But one day, you will go by yourself. Just help me take it there. Before that, Egg's head will be placed with you."
Rove frowned. Grindelwald was so determined that he hesitated. He thought about it for a long time, and felt that it would not do him any harm, so he nodded and agreed:
"It's a deal."
Rove took the tree seed and asked strangely, "Why didn't you go by yourself?"
"I'm Albus' prisoner."
Grindelwald looked up at the sky. From here, the stars seemed brighter, as if they were close at hand and within reach. He said calmly and sadly:
"I promised him that without his permission, I would stay here for the rest of my life and not take half a step out of Nurmengard."
Rove hesitated, lowered his voice and said:
"Then why did you go to that island back then?"
Grindelwald didn't speak, Rove looked at him calmly, didn't say anything, just waited quietly.
The old man paused for a long time, he sighed wearily, and said with a trace of loneliness:
"Albus should have told you, the wrong summer?"
Rove nodded.
"I once wanted to help Albus revive Arianna. I thought that after I revived his sister, we would be back together... so I went to that island."
Rove didn't ask about the result because it was an obvious failure.
He sighed softly, some mistakes can be corrected, but some mistakes cannot be made up and repaid in a lifetime.
