Chapter 482
Grindelwald should really be more restrained.
This is what Wayne had in mind after he got him to become the headmaster of Durmstrang.
Wayne didn't want Grindelwald to jump too much, but he was afraid that Dumbledore would stand up against Grindelwald. In that case, with the reputation of blocking Grindelwald, the old man might come back and take his position as the headmaster.
He hasn't had enough fun yet.
In addition, he also wanted to try what the first generation of Dark Lords in their heyday was like.
The last time they met in Paris, they were very restrained and did not show their true strength.
It's time to teach Grindelwald a lesson, so that he knows that although he is old and spicy, the world belongs to the young.
But taking the initiative and being begged to take action are not the same concept at all. There are people who are more anxious than him.
For example, these Ministers of Magic and the Speaker of the Union.
"Mr. Lawrence, please tell us what you need. As long as we can do it, we will definitely satisfy you."
Keynes was very confident when he said this. Although the League of Nations did not have much real power, the magic ministries of these countries behind him were the real sponsors.
Wayne showed an unhappy look, "What do you mean I raise it? You obviously came to me, and what kind of price you offer depends on how much sincerity you are willing to pay."
Several people looked at each other, this is going to be a big deal.
I am most afraid of this kind of behavior of not bidding, because you never know how big the other party's appetite is. If you offer too little, you are afraid of turning your face, and if you offer too much, you are afraid of the pain.
But who let Wayne's business be a unique business, "Six Seven Seven" they have no right to bargain.
Several magic ministers took turns to bleed heavily, and even those who did not come were represented and gave up a lot of benefits.
In fact, there are not many things in the magic world that can make Wayne interested now.
The price they paid, in addition to the shops in their respective countries similar to the wizard gathering places in Diagon Alley, was some precious ancient books and collections.
The collections were used to fill their own castles. As for the books, they could make a copy and leave it to Hogwarts.
After the conditions were agreed, Keynes couldn't wait to ask: "Mr. Lawrence, there is no time to lose, let's set off tomorrow?"
He wanted to take people away now, but it was already late, and some Aurors had to be mobilized, so he left the night.
But Wayne refused: "Cash on delivery, when the promised things arrive, I will go."
"Can't it be earlier?" Keynes asked anxiously.
"No." Wayne shook his head, "There are still many things to be dealt with in the school. Professor Scamander only has time on weekends, and I plan to take him with me."
Hearing that Wayne wanted to take Newt, the few people had no choice but to compromise.
The next day, Wayne and Newt talked about the situation. When the old man heard that he was going to take him to see Grindelwald, he shook his head like a rattle.
"No, I won't go."
Newt felt that as long as he was not crazy, he would never want to see Grindelwald again in this life.
"Senior, you are the nemesis of evil. You have thwarted Grindelwald's conspiracy many times. You are definitely his destined enemy. When he sees you, his fighting power will definitely be reduced by 20%."
"He will definitely be the first to praise me!" The good man Newt was forced to swear by Wayne.
Newt was also very aggrieved. Didn't he just destroy his plan dozens of times? But every time it was Dumbledore's instigator. Why did he chase him when they met?
"I will protect you, senior." Wayne patted his chest confidently, but Newt would not agree to anything he said.
Jerry climbed out of the pocket and gave the old man a contemptuous look - he was not as brave as her.
Newt understood and drove them away angrily.
Seeing his firm attitude, Wayne was not in a hurry. He really wanted these two old friends to meet again. After all, they were both influential figures in the past.
Newt's argument was not convincing, but there was still Tina, wasn't there?
The Phoenix King left Hogwarts with the letter and brought Tina back that evening. When Newt saw Tina appear in his office, he felt bad.
Sure enough, Tina spoke unhappily, "Wayne is going to fight Grindelwald. It's fine if you don't offer to help him, but he has specially invited you, why don't you go?"
"Tina..." Newt smiled bitterly, "You know Wayne's strength, what can I do? It's just a mess. That kid just had a bad taste and wanted to see me and Grindelwald meet again."
It must be said that Newt is one of the few people in the world who knows Wayne best, and he saw through his little thoughts at a glance.
"Who said you can't help?" Tina still disagreed: "If Wayne is really tempted by what he said, you can stop him in time."
"You and I know best what is the most dangerous place for Grindelwald."
Hearing this, Newt stopped talking and fell into deep thought. After a long time, he sighed: "Okay, I'll go."
"I'll go with you."
Perhaps to boost confidence, or perhaps to build momentum in advance.
Soon, the news that Wayne agreed to take action appeared on the headlines of newspapers in various countries, like a declaration of war to Grindelwald.
Along with this news, there are also long-winded flattery.
The deeds at the World Cup were mentioned again, and the newspapers had described Wayne as a new savior, and only he could stop Grindelwald's expansion.
This is a desperate measure. If Wayne is not Grindelwald's opponent, the consequence is that people will completely lose confidence and will no longer be able to prevent effective resistance.
But it cannot be ignored. As time goes by, the ranks of the Saints are gradually growing, and voices of surrender have appeared in many countries.
To be honest, Grindelwald's style of behavior has been much more low-key after his re-emergence this time. He no longer makes wild statements about starting a war with Muggles, which makes many peopleThe centrists were moved.
Anyway, they were not the real rulers of the country, so it would not be bad to have a more powerful wizard lead them.
Hogwarts.
When the teachers and students learned that Wayne was going to duel with Grindelwald, they were shocked and worried about him.
Professor Sprout and Professor McGonagall all met Wayne alone, and even Snape came.
"Are you really sure?"
"Would I do something I'm not sure of?" Wayne asked back, waving his hand and serving Snape a cup of tea.
After all, they came to care about him, so basic courtesy should be given.
Snape took it a little flattered, "I mean the certainty of winning and retreating unscathed. Don't forget, he is still hiding in the dark, and his recent actions have become more and more big."
Everything will become worthless when there are too many of them, at least there are too many Dark Lords, and now Snape is less in awe of Voldemort.
After all, compared with what Grindelwald had done before, it was really not up to par.
But he had to admit that even if he looked down on Voldemort, the opponent's strength was still there. Except for Wayne and Dumbledore, no one could be his opponent.
Now that Dumbledore has disappeared, Wayne is the only one he can count on.
So he really didn't want Wayne to take risks.
"Maybe...you can also come and see?" Wayne said thoughtfully, holding up his teacup.
"Me?" Snape's face changed, "The final exam is coming soon, and I need to make up for the poor students, yes, Potter and Longbottom."
Holding the shield, Snape ran away in a panic.
Wayne sipped the black tea by himself, and waved his hand to lower the curtain, letting the portraits of the headmasters who had just watched the excitement fall into a deep sleep.
"Ariana, don't worry. I'll go get revenge for you and beat up Grindelwald."
An illusory figure emerged from the ring on the boy's hand and gradually became solid. The bright blonde hair was tied into two ponytails. A thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl clenched her fists and waved, saying, "Brother Wayne, you must work hard and beat the bad guy who kidnapped Albus!"
"No problem." Wayne nodded with a smile, "Don't mention the bad guy. As long as you ask, I will help you beat Albus."
"Then , then forget it. "The blonde girl shyly put away her delicate fists and said coyly: "Albus is already very old, let's forgive him."
"But he is also the culprit who killed you." Wayne teased the little girl with evil taste, "Oh yes, and Aberforth, he is also one of the murderers, I will beat him up too."
Ariana was shocked and waved her hands to make excuses for her two brothers. In the end, she was confused and could only put all the pots on Grindelwald alone, which made Wayne laugh. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Drmstrang.
Grindelwald forced himself to hold back the urge to sneeze and maintained a calm expressionListen to Vida Rozier's report.
"Our people have sent news that Lawrence will most likely rush to Durmstrang with Keynes and others tomorrow. There are already many Aurors near the school."
"The Ministry of Magic of many countries is watching, and all those who contacted us before have no news."
Playing with the locket, Grindelwald didn't care too much about Wayne's upcoming attack, but was looking forward to it.
"It's been a long time since I've had a good activity. He came just in time."
"Sir, didn't you say..." Vida hesitated, "Are we allies?"
"Why does he still help the International Confederation of Wizards to deal with you?"
"Vida, if you have time, read more Muggle books in Dragon Country." Grindelwald glanced at his right-hand man, "There is a saying over there, called raising an enemy to protect yourself."
"Raising an enemy to protect yourself?" Vida repeated these clumsy words.
"That's right. Only when the Dark Lord exists will good people with power be valued." Grindelwald chuckled: "You also know how much they paid to ask Lawrence to help."
"So we were used?" Vida quickly figured it out and said dissatisfiedly.
Grindelwald shook his head, "Having the value of being used is not the meaning of a person's existence?"
Walking around the large table, he came to the window and admired the world covered with ice and snow. "The world evolves everything, but the changes remain the same. I am black and he is white."
With his hands clenched, Grindelwald's voice became more and more unpredictable, "When everything is clear, it is also an opportunity for everything to return to one."
"At that time... we can know who is the real... king of this world!"
Saturday.
A large number of wizards came to Hogsmeade early to wait.
As usual, Wayne slept in on the weekends, took a comfortable bath with Qiu, changed his clothes, and joined them with Newt and Tina. 4.0 The people of the International Confederation of Wizards had already prepared the portkeys.
After a long and uncomfortable journey, they arrived near Durmstrang.
At this time, hundreds of Aurors from various countries had gathered. Their mission was not to intervene in the battle between Wayne and Grindelwald, but to protect the safety of the students.
"How many saints are there in the school now?" Newt asked.
The saints he mentioned were not the self-proclaimed saints of Grindelwald's followers.
But the saints who really left the mark of the Deathly Hallows on their bodies, each of whom was an absolute elite among wizards.
"Only five or six." An Auror replied: "Grindelwald dismissed several teachers and replaced them with his own people."
"They won't hurt the students, right?" Newt said worriedly.
"We have observed..." The Auror who just spoke had a strange look on his face: "The students are almost all bewitched. In a sense, they are our own people."
This is alsoThis is one of the reasons why they have never dared to sneak into the school. Maybe they were sold out by some students. []
Wayne ignored their conversation and just looked up at the gloomy sky.
"Phoenix King, use Sunny Day."
"Cry~!"
Phoenix King spread his wings and flew, his whole body wrapped in flames, rushing towards the clouds with a melodious cry.
Not long after, the dark clouds were dispelled, and the clear sunshine shone down, making people feel much better all of a sudden.
"Let's go.".
