Chapter 100: Tower

Two hours later, we moved our eyes to Austria
　　……
　　 This is a ghastly and forbidding tower.
　　 Looking from a distance, it looks like an extremely strong fortress, and also like a large tin completely wrapped in iron.
　　The fortress is on a not too high cliff, but within a few miles of the cliff, it is a complete desert. Apart from the occasional ruined walls, there is no vitality.
　　 There is only a very rugged mountain road leading to the tower.
　　 This cold, dark, and far away tower has a well-known name in the wizarding world:
　　 "Neumontgaard!"
　　 Newmontgard is a prison, a prison dedicated to the imprisonment of black wizards.
　　 His first time as a prison was almost in 1939.
　　 Albus Dumbledore, the most terrifying dark wizard of the century, was imprisoned in this prison.
　　 Since then, the number of prisoners in the prison has become less and less...Some are dead, and some have been transferred to other wizarding prisons across Europe.
　　 It's just that the most notorious dark wizard is still locked here, at the top of the tower.
　　 Some people say that this place was abandoned many years ago.
　　 But the insiders know very well that this prison can operate automatically without being guarded.
　　 As long as its creator, Gellert Grindelwald, the greatest wizard of the 20th century, is alive!
Will suffice.
　　 Even though it is late at night, the line of words engraved above the entrance of Newmondgard still shines with a faint light:
　　 "For the greater good!"
　　……
　　 But at the top of the tower, it is a completely different scene.
　　 Two old people with gray hair, facing each other, sat in front of a fire.
　　 One is in ragged clothes, and the other is well-dressed.
　　 An old man, skinny, and weak at the same time; a crane-haired child, heroic, and still extraordinary!
　　 One is the most notorious dark wizard of the 20th century, and the other is the most acclaimed great wizard of the 20th century.
　　 Albus Dumbledore, and Gellert Grindelwald.
　　 Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for you to associate these two wizards together. They belong to people in different worlds.
　　 But now, they are chatting.
　　 Like many, many years old friends, very casual, very ordinary, and unconstrained...
　　 And, it was Grindelwald speaking impassionedly, while Dumbledore was listening quietly.
　　 In front of them, there are two small wine glasses and a bottle of mead; there is also a large basket of different kinds of candies.
　　……
　　 "...It's as simple as that. The black witch who claims to be the most powerful black witch in the history of British magic is easily defeated by me!" Grindelwald's voice was loud, and he fiddled with a silver light extinguisher in his hand.
　　 If any wizard who knew Grindelwald were here, he would be surprised at this moment.
　　Because they will see that the President of the International Wizarding Federation, the chief of Wisengamao, and the greatest wizard of our time, is telling his recent experience in a bragging tone.
"That's it?"
　　 But Albus Dumbledore, with his head down, his expression seemed a little disdainful.
　　 "Yes!" Grindelwald snorted coldly, "Could it be that my plan is not perfect? ​​Isn't my method clever enough? Is there any better idea for you?"
　　 "You can deceive an old witch who has been imprisoned by Merlin for thousands of years!" Dumbledore still did not look up: "I am in it, and I can find at least six or seven loopholes!"
"It is precisely because she has been imprisoned by Merlin for thousands of years and has already lost the dignity of a real wizard, that I have the confidence to deal with her in this way!" Grindelwald did not feel offended, but explained calmly. Tao.
　　 "So, Gellert, you didn't take Hogwarts to heart at all!" Dumbledore suddenly raised his head and said coldly:
"You don't care about the life and death of Hogwarts students. You have put them in extreme danger for so long in the past; in your eyes, they are nothing more than tools to achieve your goals...their life and death , For you, it can be used to exchange benefits..."
　　 Grindelwald was silent for a moment.
　　 Then, he stood up and raised his head proudly: "Albus, wouldn't you choose this way?"
　　 "Of course I won't!" Dumbledore said categorically.
Grindelwald retorted unceremoniously: "If you are in my position, do you think you can put the students in extreme danger? Do you think you will not let the students be a tool to achieve your goals? Do you think you would not exchange the lives of the students for greater benefits?"
　　 This time it was Dumbledore's turn to be silent.
　　 "At least I won't ignore the life and death of Hogwarts students!" After a moment of silence, Dumbledore retorted again.
　　 "I didn't ignore their life and death!" Grindelwald snorted coldly: "If the old witch really wants to kill the two first-year children, I will also do it in advance!"
　　 Dumbledore lowered his head again.
　　 Because he knows what Grindelwald said is true!
　　 "We are one kind of people, Albus." Grindelwald continued: "We are one kind of people from beginning to end..."
　　 "We were never the same kind of people!" Dumbledore said categorically without hesitation ~EbookFREE.me~.
　　 "Why do you always deny such a fact!" Grindelwald was suddenly discouraged, he fart and sat on the ground:
　　 "Forty-seven years, Albus...I have detained you here for forty-seven years...forty-seven years, isn't it enough time for you to figure it out?"
　　 "I think so thoroughly...from start to finish!" Dumbledore said again.
　　 "It seems that you still don't want to give up after all..." Grindelwald sighed.
　　 He picked up the mead on the ground, and poured a glass of Dumbledore and himself.
　　 And Dumbledore drank it unceremoniously.
　　……
　　 "Let’s change to a lighter topic!"
　　 Grindelwald also drank his glass of mead.
　　 "Easy topic?" Dumbledore didn't seem interested.
　　 "Yes..." Grindelwald nodded: "One very interesting thing... This time I went back to Hogwarts, I met a very interesting little guy..."
　　While pouring the wine, Gellert Grindelwald said relaxedly.
　　 It can be seen that he is indeed unsuspecting.
　　Albus Dumbledore, opposite him, was different.
　　 A ray of light suddenly flashed through the corners of his wrinkled eyes.
