“Are you sure you want to go to that Nurmengard? Have you really recovered?”
“Well, I have to ask Grindelwald in person what this magic notebook he gave me is. Otherwise, Chris won’t forgive me.”
“… Can’t I go with you?”
“Of course, but do you really think you can protect yourself if you are in danger?”
“… Sorry.”
Daphne lowered her head in frustration.
Lu Yunkai smiled helplessly and reached out to touch his girlfriend’s head.
And next to her, Chris, who was filled with anger, raised her cat head to express her disdain for what Lu Yunkai was doing.
It has been a month since Lu Yunkai attacked Malfoy Manor at night, and it is already the end of February.
During this month, Lu Yunkai really has no peace at all.
He was entangled because Astoria was on the verge of depression at first, but fortunately he got support from Malfoy, which at least woke up the sleeping beauty, but Chris, who was deeply depressed, was not so easy to fool.
Every day, he stared at the wand in Lu Yunkai’s hand, which was cracked because of the magic potion of the magic god or Grindelwald’s magic, as if he was staring at the food in his bowl.
The nervousness and weirdness made Lu Yunkai feel that he should not continue to use this wand. He could only ask Harry, who was trying to find a way to sneak into Gringotts, whether his wand was damaged after drinking the potion.
Harry told him that it was not.
Finally, this morning, Lu Yunkai felt that his magic ability that was lost because of the potion was finally restored, and he immediately decided to find the “culprit” who caused all this.
“It’s okay, I’ll go and come back quickly.” Lu Yunkai glanced at the cat next to him, “Do you want to go with me?”
“Of course! I want to question that guy face to face, what kind of magic did he teach you!” Chris nodded firmly.
Lu Yunkai smiled helplessly.
All right.
“You must be more careful.” Daphne could only nag a little.
“Don’t worry!” Lu Yunkai nodded, and then took out his wand.
Apparition, Nurmengard.
This is Lu Yunkai’s second time here.
The last time he came, he was with Voldemort. Not only did Voldemort create a little “small accident” in advance to attract the guarding wizards, but he also broke many protective spells along the way, so Lu Yunkai was fully prepared for today’s arrival.
Spells, potions, and even some magic props.
However.
“You are Grindelwald after all, and they just locked you up like this? They didn’t even repair the broken magic protection?? If I had known, I would have Apparated directly in.”
Lu Yunkai, who walked into Nurmengard Castle wearing an invisible cloak, walked through the gate with the sign “For the greater good” on it. Lu Yunkai did not encounter any trouble along the way.
There were even no guarding wizards.
Lu Yunkai, with Chris, who was also amazed by this, on his shoulder, came to the room where Grindelwald was “imprisoned” smoothly.
Grindelwald was sitting at the table, writing something with a feather pen in his hand.
“Why are they repairing that? I’m not leaving. But why are you here?”
Grindelwald was stunned when he saw Lu Yunkai suddenly appear in front of him after taking off his invisible cloak, and then he laughed.
“I have something to ask you.” Lu Yunkai’s tone was not very good.
“…What’s wrong?” Grindelwald smiled.
“Is there any problem with the magic in the notebook you gave me?”
“Ah?” Grindelwald was stunned, “No problem! Why do you say that?”
“It can’t be used at all.” Lu Yunkai glanced at Chris on his shoulder, then continued to stare at Grindelwald and said: “And it almost destroyed my wand.”
“…How could it be?” Grindelwald stood up from the chair, “You try it?”
He pointed out the window.
Outside the window in front of him was a huge cliff.
This was the first time Lu Yunkai noticed it, and the scenery was pretty good.
For a moment, Lu Yunkai even thought that the reason why the European wizards in charge of guarding this place didn’t care so much about Grindelwald might be because the scenery here was too good. He wouldn’t want to escape from prison in the first place, right?
“No need.” Lu Yunkai shook his head and pointed the wand in his hand at the stool where Grindelwald had just sat, “Storm Flame!”
“Be careful!!” Grindelwald was startled when he heard the spell from Lu Yun’s mouth.
However, the few small flames that Lu Yunkai was familiar with appeared again and then disappeared.
Grindelwald was stunned.
“Take off into the air.”
Lu Yunkai used a Voldemort version of the floating spell on the stool, and the stool immediately flew up, and then landed steadily on the ground beside it.
The spell you taught me can’t be used, but other magic can be used as usual. So, please explain it to me!
Lu Yunkai stopped talking and looked at Grindelwald.
And Grindelwald squinted his eyes and fell into deep thought.
For a long time.
“Impossible.” Grindelwald shook his head. “I could have used this spell when I was a sophomore at Durmstrang, but it was a swan-sized firebird.”
“Swan? Isn’t this a range-destroying spell?”
“Yes. This spell will summon a burning firebird to revolve around you, and the size of the firebird changes as your magic power increases. In my heyday, I could summon a firebird half the size of Nurmengard, and the damage it caused was no less powerful than that weapon made by Muggles.” Grindelwald said seriously.
“Are you sure you didn’t write it wrong in the notebook you gave me?”
“How is it possible!” Grindelwald’s brows were already twisted, and then he seemed to think of something: “Show me your wand.”
“Yes.” Lu Yunkai nodded and handed over the wand, “This wand is very memorable to me, and it was damaged by the spell you gave me.”
“How can a wand be damaged by the spell of the wizard you serve?” Grindelwald shook his head speechlessly and took the wand, “You really should learn about wands…”
Grindelwald’s words were interrupted and he was stunned.
“Black walnut, the core is the tendon of the Niffler? How can someone use this kind of thing as the core of the wand? Where did you get this wand from? Ridiculous! Can this wand be used?” Grindelwald looked at Lu Yunkai in shock.
“…Your words sound familiar to me. Ollivander said the same thing back then.” Lu Yunkai took the opportunity to complain about Chris on his shoulder, “But I have also used it for several years. The levitation spell just now, and the disarming spell and petrification spell a while ago, all worked well.”
“Where did this wand come from?” Grindelwald looked at the wand carefully.
He even put the wand under his nose and smelled it.
Lu Yunkai looked at Chris.
This question still needs Chris to answer. Speaking of which, Lu Yunkai has never learned the specific origin of this wand from Chris. It’s just that Chris gave it to him back then, and he took it over, and then used it as a matter of course until now.
“Meow, Jesse bought it from a wanderer when he was still the owner of the Leaky Cauldron. The wanderer told him that this wand would belong to the greatest wizard in the world in the future, and Jesse was the one who would give this wand to that person in the prophecy.” Chris said seriously, “After Jesse made that prophecy, he was more convinced of the extraordinary nature of this wand, and he kept it as a treasure until his death.”
“…How much did Jesse buy it from that wandering wizard?” Lu Yunkai’s expression suddenly became strange.
“I don’t remember. It seems to be two cups of butter beer?”
“…”
Lu Yunkai gently rubbed his eyebrows.
Then he told Chris’s words to Grindelwald.
He really couldn’t complain about Chris, so he decided to let Grindelwald do it.
That wandering wizard was obviously too poor to afford alcohol, and he got a broken wand from somewhere and made up a story to exchange for two cups of alcohol. Why did you and your former owner believe it? ?
No, it’s just this wand, and he has been using it for six years?
Lu Yunkai suddenly felt that he was as stupid as a husky…
However, after hearing Lu Yunkai’s story, Grindelwald surprisingly didn’t say anything, but held the wand and fell into deep thought.
For a long time.
“The one who sold the wand to your previous owner was a female wizard, right?” Grindelwald looked at Chris and asked.
“Meow, yes. How did you know?” Chris was stunned.
“… Turns out to be an old friend. I was wondering why I felt a familiar breath on this wand.” Grindelwald sighed softly, “If the Niffler tendon here comes from the Niffler raised by that person… Well, I probably know who made this wand. No wonder.”
“Do you know the maker of this wand?” Lu Yunkai was confused.
“Well, she is an old friend of mine and Dumbledore.” Grindelwald’s eyes showed a trace of nostalgia. “If it was made by her, then I can understand why this wand can’t use black magic… That person has mental mysophobia.”
“Mental mysophobia? This works?” Lu Yunkai stared at the wand with a strange expression, “Can the wand choose the magic that can be used?”
“You know the devil, so you naturally know the origin of magic.” Grindelwald smiled, “Magic is the knowledge that humans learned from the devil. Only those who have reached a contract with the devil can use magic, but our current wizards don’t even know the existence of the devil, let alone reach a contract with them. But we can still cast magic…”
“Because there is a wand. The core of the wand… is the part of those creatures with magic power.” Lu Yunkai suddenly understood.
This is a question he thought about many years ago.
“Yes. Most magical creatures are messengers or servants of the devil, and they have contracts with the devil.” Grindelwald nodded, “With them as a medium, we can use magic. So, rather than saying that wizards use magic, it is better to say that we are borrowing the contract of magical creatures. The wand can naturally limit what power you can borrow and what power you cannot borrow!”
“…It seems to make sense, I can’t refute it.” Lu Yunkai scratched his head, “So Ollivander told me before that the master chooses the wand, and the wand also chooses the master!”
“Of course. Some wands are even very strange. For example, some only choose the most powerful wizards to be its master. When its master is defeated by others, it will immediately abandon its current master…”
“Old Wand?” Lu Yunkai knew what Grindelwald was talking about.
“Yeah. Some wands are very loyal. Even when the owner is threatened, even if he does not actively cast a spell, the wand will try to send out some magic for protection.” Grindelwald nodded, “As for your wand… it should be a little special to money, right?”
“More than a little special, it is simply the extreme of greed.” Lu Yunkai thought of the big box of gold “dug” out from the basement of his home, and nodded seriously.
“Besides, it is also very jealous.” Grindelwald smiled, “Just like the sniff of its tendon.”
“Meow? Jealous? What can a wand be jealous of? Jealous of Daphne?” Chris shouted absurdly.
“You are now…”
Grindelwald had just said half of his words when two more people suddenly appeared in the room.
And the moment the two appeared, they simultaneously cast a spell on Lu Yunkai.
Grindelwald, who had just finished speaking, immediately raised his wand and cast two spells in an instant, knocking back the two spells that were flying towards Lu Yunkai.
The speed was so fast that neither Lu Yunkai nor the two wizards who suddenly appeared could react.
“Damn! A sneak attack!”
Lu Yunkai realized what was happening and threw a bunch of potions in his hand at the man in front of him.
