Chapter 411 405. Offer your loyalty, and I will grant you a status second only to me.

Voldemort, who was causing trouble in the Ministry of Magic, returned to the temporary gathering place of the Death Eaters. This was the home of one of the Death Eaters. Although Lucius had several other manors in other places, he could not catch one by collecting wool. pull out.

Moreover, as the victim of the recent ‘manor attack’, Lucius has been protected by Aurors to avoid being persecuted by Death Eaters.

The second-in-command in the Death Eater Legion was worried that he would be persecuted by the Death Eaters, and it would be completely ridiculous to tell the truth.

But this is reality, and reality is often stranger than stories.

“Master.” The Death Eaters knelt at Voldemort’s feet obediently.

It was said that they were going to rescue the captured Death Eaters, but when Voldemort came back alone, no one dared to ask. No one wanted to get into trouble with Voldemort just for a few ‘companions’, even if the other person’s mood seemed true. good.

“Avery, let someone get ready. I’m going to Nurmengard Prison in a week.”

Voldemort is a resolute master. No one can change the things he decides and the time he determines.

“Yes, Master.”

Lucius was away at this time, so Avery became Voldemort’s special secretary. After all, you can’t expect fugitives like Bella and others to show up in the wizarding world to do things. Avery is much more honest now than before, and he only knows how to do things the whole time. Don’t dare to say any unnecessary words.

The day after the riot at the Ministry of Magic, the Daily Prophet was surprisingly quiet. The headline on the front page was not something like ‘Voldemort, Returns’, but some trivial matters. Similarly, there is another newspaper selling a large newspaper, Poison and Antidote Daily, and the headline on the front page is still about the Harry Potter movie.

The same was true on the third and fourth days. The news seemed to have fallen silent.

The Quibbler has some different breaking news – Fudge is gathering his army of fire elves to rule the wizarding world.

This kind of content sounds like nonsense and looks even more ridiculous, but it is very popular among wizards. Everyone reads this as a serialization of fantasy novels.

It was just that the employees of the Ministry of Magic who saw Voldemort in the square that day spread word of mouth among the wizards through gossip that “the man who must not be named” was back. Unfortunately, not many people believed it.

Finally, five days later, the Daily Prophet had different news. Some of the Death Eaters who escaped from Azkaban were successfully captured and brought to justice under the leadership of the Minister of Magic Fudge, but there were still a small number of extremely vicious Death Eaters. On the run

The Daily Prophet reminds everyone to pay attention to safety when traveling and to notify the Ministry of Magic as soon as possible if any abnormality is discovered.

A week later, Voldemort arrived in Austria with a group of Death Eaters as promised.

The journey was smooth, and the Death Eaters almost swaggered into Nurmengard, a prison as famous as Azkaban in Europe. There was no unnecessary nonsense in the whole process. Anyone who dared to step forward to stop them would be killed. It was a curse that took away the other person’s life.

Arrogant

Completely high-profile to the extreme, Voldemort had no intention of hiding it at all.

The three major magic academies in Europe are located in England, France and Germany. The Ministry of Magic of other countries is more than a star worse than these three places. Even the Aurors of England are no match, not to mention the Austrian Aurors who are obviously weaker than them. Luo?

Vulnerable.

The Death Eaters easily broke through the defense line formed by the Austrian Aurors and almost killed the entire Austrian Ministry of Magic.

Pushing open the door of Nurmengard Castle, looking at the towering spiers and the surrounding solid walls, Voldemort suddenly felt that finding a castle as a base would be a good choice.

For example, Hogwarts or something would be great.

He and his Death Eaters never had a fixed gathering place. This always felt a bit boring.

Voldemort led a group of men to the top of the castle tower. Before entering the room, Voldemort waved to others to stay where they were, and he entered alone.

After all, he was also a once famous dark wizard. Voldemort believed that the other party should be given due respect. Of course, if the other party refused to cooperate, then Voldemort would not hesitate to ‘gift’ a ‘big melon’. The respect Voldemort gave was limited. .

Pushing open the door, what comes into view is an ordinary room with very simple displays.

There was only a bed, a table and a bench. There was also a bowl of uneaten white porridge on the table.

It is hard to imagine that this was the room of the former dark wizard Grindelwald. It was not much different from an ordinary lonely old man’s room, and it was even better to have a radio or something to relieve his boredom.

The gray-haired old man was standing in front of the window sill, seemingly looking into the distance. When Voldemort came in, he turned slightly, as if waiting for the other party to arrive, and said hello lightly.

“Hello, dark wizard who dare not reveal his true name.”

Grindelwald did not call Voldemort Tom like Dumbledore and Dudley did, nor did he call him You-Know-Who or the Dark Lord like other wizards, nor did he call him the Dark Lord like the Death Eaters. Instead, he used A special name for a dark wizard.

“Hey hey hey”

Voldemort didn’t mind Grindelwald’s ‘rudeness’. He felt the magic on the other party, confirmed the other party’s identity, and let out a sharp laugh: “Mr. Grindelwald, the extremely evil dark wizard, the initiator of wizard reform In a sense, he is also my ‘predecessor’. I was inspired by you.”

“‘Senior’? I don’t deserve this title.”

Grindelwald shook his head: “I’m different from you. I’m just an ordinary, failed, lonely old wizard.”

He called Voldemort the Dark Wizard, and he considered himself an old wizard.

From beginning to end, he never believed that what he did was wrong. He believed that everything he did was for the benefit of all mankind and was not dark, so he was not a dark wizard.

Although the outside world thinks that he is an extremely evil dark wizard.

Voldemort did not understand the deep meaning of Grindelwald’s words. At first glance, he thought he was complimenting himself and trying to improve himself by humiliating his failure. To be honest, he felt a little happy. Mainly Voldemort’s attention was on another thing. , he only wanted to know one thing from the other party’s mouth, one piece of information that was crucial to dealing with Dumbledore.

“I need to know the secret of the Elder Wand. You have it, so you should know to tell me everything you know and I can get you out of this hellish place.”

“Of course, if you are willing to offer your loyalty, I will grant you a status second only to me.”
