Chapter 671 The identity of the attacker in the secret room
Hearing Dumbledore's words, Rolf was filled with astonishment and subconsciously glanced at the Elder Wand that the principal was playing with.
The Elder Wand was clearly in Dumbledore's hands, so he went to Grindelwald and Gregorovitch to ask who owned it?
You can't just show off your trophies, right?
Garrett, what do you think this is? It's your thick and hard elder wand, and now it's being played with by me every day... Hehe!
This picture was so beautiful that when Luofu thought about it, he couldn't help feeling cold.
While the boy was thinking, Dumbledore narrowed his sharp eyes. He always had sharp eyesight, and few things could escape his attention.
When Rolf heard him mentioning the Elder Wand just now, he subconsciously glanced at the wand in his hand, which was naturally caught by Dumbledore.
The old man thought for a moment and asked, "Rolph, you seem to know that the wand in my hand is the Elder Wand?"
Rolf didn't know where Dumbledore saw the clue, but now that he saw it, he honestly admitted: "Yes."
"How did you know?"
Dumbledore asked this, which at least meant that he was not using Legilimency.
Luofu's mind was spinning quickly. Of course, he would not say that the memory of his previous life told him, so after thinking for a moment, he immediately found the most reasonable explanation for himself.
"During the summer vacation, I stayed with Grigovitch's granddaughter Karin and lived in his house for a while."
"At that time, when Gregorovich and I were talking about the Saints, he told me that he had found the Elder Wand through the Saints organization." Rove explained slowly:
"Mr. Grigovitch said that one day a blond boy sneaked into his studio and stole the Elder Wand.
Grigovitch also showed me the boy's appearance. "
Roff paused, and continued:
"During the Christmas vacation, I went to Godric's Hollow and visited Lady Bathilda Bagshot. I saw the photo of the blond boy in the cupboard in her room.
Mrs. Bagshot told me that it was her great-nephew, Grindelwald. "
Rolf looked at the wand in Dumbledore's hand and said softly:
"Since it was the Elder Wand that Grindelwald stole back then, and he lost it to you in 1945, the Elder Wand must be in your hand... It's not difficult to guess."
Dumbledore smiled, his surprise and appreciation clearly written on his face, and he praised:
"Excellent reasoning. This wand is indeed the legendary Deathly Hallows - the Elder Wand."
"Since the Elder Wand is in your hand," Rolf said curiously, "then why are you looking for Grindelwald and Grigovitch?"
"Remember a few months ago, a mysterious wizard tried to force his way into Hufflepuff's Chamber of Secrets?" Dumbledore asked.
Rolf nodded.
On the day when the first event of the Triwizard Tournament ended, Rolf took Shirley, Hermione and Fleur to the kitchen for dinner.
Then, the Hufflepuff house-elf portrait suddenly appears and informs them that someone is trying to break into the Hufflepuff Chamber of Secrets.
"The mysterious wizard uses magic called blood shadow, which allows his shadow to leave his body and act as a clone outside." Dumbledore leaned back in his chair.
"This magic comes from the Elder Wand, and can only be used by the owner of the Elder Wand, so I am investigating the previous owner of the Elder Wand."
"That person was not Gellert. I went to look for Gregovich again, but it was also not him..."
Rolf narrowed his eyes and said in shock: "It can't be Arkus, Grigovitch's previous master of the Elder Wand, right?"
Dumbledore said nothing. He stood up, walked around the table, came to a cabinet next to the door and leaned down.
When the principal straightened up, he was holding a shallow stone basin with a circle of symbols engraved on the mouth.
He put the Pensieve on the table and asked:
"Rolph, would you like to take a walk down Grigovi's memory lane with me?"
"With pleasure," Rove said.
Dumbledore took out a crystal bottle from his pocket, which contained something spinning and floating.
He poured the silver contents from the bottle into the pensieve, where they slowly swirled and shimmered.
Dumbledore entered the pensieve, followed closely by Rolf, leaning forward and diving into the silver memory.
Luofu's feet left the floor of the office and fell downward through the rotating darkness. Suddenly, the strong sunlight made him close his eyes.
After Rolf adjusted to the environment, he opened his eyes again and found that he was standing on a country road, with Dumbledore standing beside him.
Three meters in front of them, there was a man in his early thirties:
He was short and fat, but his chest and shoulders were very thick. His robe was stretched tightly by his round belly. His eyes were small, and they were reduced to two points, like a mole.
He is young Gregorovich!
Grigovitch held a hand-drawn map in his hand. After observing the terrain for a while, he walked quickly along the path.
Both Dumbledore and Rove followed.
They walked for a while, and Grigovitch entered a dense forest. Then he turned left and a building appeared.
It was a huge, carved tomb, hidden by balsam trees and waist-deep in brown grass.
The shape of the tomb is a six-stepped flat-topped four-sided cone, which looks very much like a trapezoidal pyramid.
In front of the tomb, there is a tombstone with the symbol of the Deathly Hallows engraved on it, and below it is written in English:
Octavius Arkus,
sleep here
The life of the dead never ends!
The whole tomb looks very new, as if Akus was buried here not long ago.
Grigovitch waved his wand and the tomb split in half, revealing a massive coffin.
He opened the coffin again and saw an old man lying in it, with his hands clasped on his chest, and a wand in his hand.
The old man is not dead yet, but he is very old, almost dying, and about to die completely as the master of the Elder Wand.
But this is no longer possible.
After Grigovitch saw the Elder Wand, he looked salivating. He raised the wand and said loudly: "Expelliarmus."
The Elder Wand fell into Grigovitch's hands, and he ran towards the outside of the tomb before he had time to think about it.
The old man sat up tremblingly and watched in despair as Grigovitch snatched away the Elder Wand.
Luofu narrowed his eyes and stared at Arkus in the coffin.
His face was covered with wrinkles, his hair was gray, and he had a white beard on his face. His left eye was closed tightly, and he seemed to be blind.
"Do you recognize who it is?" Dumbledore asked.
After being silent for a while, Luo Fu said in disbelief:
"He is the one who took over from Barty Crouch Sr... the Director of the International Cooperation Department of the Ministry of Magic?!"
