Hogwarts: Wizards Supreme - Chapter 331

c330 collapsed tower

It was a starless night, and Brian once again flew into the small cell through the window of the tower. He looked at the thin and weak old man, squinting his eyes and flipping through an old newspaper in front of the oil lamp.

“Are you here again?” Grindelwald looked up at him without showing any surprise.

“Yes, I was thinking that Voldemort never came to find you.” Brian said.

“Maybe fate wants me to live a little longer.” Grindelwald said, “The things you have done recently are very exciting and interesting.” As he said this, he kept laughing like a child.

Brian looked at the old man in front of him and said softly: “I don’t think you should die like this.”

He reached into his pocket and took out a wand, placed it on the table in front of Grindelwald, and slowly pushed it in front of him.

“Please take it,” Brian said.

Grindelwald looked at the wand on the table, as if he was looking at a strange thing. Then he looked up at Brian and said with a smile: “Aren’t you afraid that I can escape with it?”

“I don’t think this tower can contain you after Dumbledore’s death, sir.” Brian glanced at the surrounding environment and smiled slightly, “Magic does not necessarily require a wand to be released, especially with you. For such a wizard, casting spells without a wand is not bad at all.”

“So, what you said is only what you think. The reality may be completely different from what you think.” Grindelwald said slowly in a hoarse voice.

“Do you dare to bet? Bet that I won’t run away or go out and ruin your business?” His eyes looked deeply at Brian, as if he could see into people’s hearts, which reminded Brian of Dumbledore. gaze.

Brian shook his head slowly and said, “I bet you won’t hinder me even if you leave this tower.”

“Oh? What do you say?” Grindelwald looked at him very curiously.

“Because I am implementing your philosophy. Even if the final goals are different, I am still completing your unfinished business. We are natural allies.”

“I know that even though those former saints have surrendered to me, they are still willing to follow you. If you go out to raise your arms, my film club will fall into division. But I believe that if you are still With the ideal of allowing wizards to be free and to their rightful place, you should not stand in my way.”

“After all, the current situation is the most likely to succeed, but if the film club falls into division and internal strife because of your ambition to compete for power, then we will inevitably fail, and the result will only get worse and become out of control. Brian said calmly, “I think this is definitely not what you want to see.”

Grindelwald listened with a smile, his eyes flickering slightly, making it difficult to see the emotions in them.

“To take a step back, even if you still have the ambition to rule the world, the best thing to do is to add fuel to the fire and make the situation worse.” Brian raised his head slightly and sighed, “But I think you are not a person who wants to rule the world.” People who push the world into the abyss forever due to their own selfish desires.”

“So, I am willing to take a gamble.” Brian said seriously, “I don’t know what you were like in the past, but I believe that now you will put your ideals above your ambitions.”

“That’s very well said.” Grindelwald clapped his hands and sighed, “For me now, ambition is nothing. Only the world you mentioned may be worth looking forward to, but that’s all.”

He picked up the wand on the table and played with it, and said with emotion in his eyes: “I didn’t expect that you are the one who understands me best now.”

The two were silent for a while, and then Grindelwald took the lead in breaking the silence: “Do you want to kill Voldemort here?”

“If you can’t kill him, at least find a way to weaken his power.” Brian said.

“That’s great. I’ve wanted to stretch my limbs for a long time.” Grindelwald laughed, “I hope I haven’t regressed too much over the years.”

“Since he can kill Albus, I also want to try his quality.” He continued, “Can you tell me how Albus died?”

Brian hugged his shoulders and leaned against the wall, recounting the events of that night in an understated manner, without concealing his plans and Dumbledore’s trouble.

“Albus wants to teach you a lesson you will never forget?” Grindelwald laughed, “The last lesson? It’s like his style. As he said, no one can have everything in their hands, especially It’s a conceited person like you.”

“Am I conceited?” Brian mused.

“Of course, you are very conceited, even more than I was before.” Grindelwald shook his head, “It can be seen from your hesitant bet just now. You are conceited and can see through people’s hearts. Conceit has mastered a certain amount of information.” Depending on the direction of your destiny, you are proud of the benefits you have gained from your bold plans and your own intelligence, so you will not hesitate to take risks and rarely leave yourself a way out.”

Brian frowned and carefully analyzed everything he had done.

“You have been winning, so you encourage this mentality. However, once you fail, you may lose everything.” Grindelwald said, “Now you shoulder the fate of many people, such a failure will It’s devastating.”

Brian narrowed his eyes and was silent for a long time. Then he nodded carefully and said, “I understand. Thank you for reminding me, Mr. Grindelwald.”

Grindelwald shook his head, and then said amusedly: “I know Albus, and I think his purpose is more than this.”

“What else?” Brian mused.

“Perhaps, he wants you to experience and learn to fail more.” Grindelwald looked at the flames jumping in the oil lamp, “People’s hearts are fickle, but there are always clues. But fate is unpredictable and is always willing to trick people.”

“In the face of the treacherous nature of people’s hearts, you may be able to win again and again. But in the face of fate, it always has a way of knocking you back to your original shape.” Grindelwald sighed, “Even though I am good at prediction, I still ended up like this. situation.”

“In the face of fate, you must be prepared to fail.” He said indifferently.

Brian leaned against the wall and closed his eyes, taking a deep breath.

“I think Albus wants you to understand this exactly. He wants to bring you back to your original shape. While teaching you a lesson, it is also another temptation.” At this point, Grindelwald shook his head again.

“Testing?”

“Yeah, testing. Albus is actually a suspicious and cold person, although he never wants to admit it.” Grindelwald sneered.

“For the greater good, even though he has been rejecting this concept, he has actually been practicing this throughout his life and is willing to sacrifice some people mercilessly for the greater good.”

Blaine nodded, acknowledging this. From Dumbledore leaving Quirrell in Hogwarts with a group of unsuspecting students, to allowing the basilisk to commit crimes in the castle in the second year, he was all trying to catch a big fish in the long run, selectively ignoring the The possibility of student death as a result. Even in the original book, Snape was asked to kill himself. He could not have thought of the possibility that Snape would be killed by Voldemort.

“And there is no doubt that he is suspicious. Even if he says he believes it and keeps emphasizing himself, in fact he can never convince himself. I admit that my influence is responsible for his character. .” Grindelwald continued, “That’s why he believes so stubbornly in ‘love’ and is willing to give unreserved trust in it… But in fact it’s just self-hypnosis.”

“If you are too extreme in one aspect, you will naturally make up for it in another aspect. So he is suspicious, but he will trust love without reservation. Just like himself, he looks calm and wise, but in fact he has always been He is a reckless guy who acts emotionally and lacks self-control.”

“In fact, he only believes in himself and is only willing to arrange everything according to his own wishes.”

“So, when you appear in front of him in an unstoppable manner, possibly overturning everything he has planned, and not even showing the ‘love’ he wants to believe in, he can’t let go of his doubts, especially when he is about to die. when.”

“He needs to know you better, so he will want to give you a failure, a life crisis. Because only at this time, a person will reveal his hidden true side. It is calmness, fear, and unwillingness. Is it madness, being resourceful and brave to find a way out, a crazy counterattack by any means, or kneeling down to beg for mercy…”

“I think if you showed signs of making him feel uneasy at that time, he would kill you without hesitation.” Grindelwald said with a smile, “But reality is so unpredictable. You defeated him and let him The follow-up plan is useless.”

Brian nodded slightly, his expression indifferent, and he obviously lacked interest in this matter that had already passed.

Grindelwald said softly: “I think his mentality at that time will be very interesting.” He yawned, and his voice became smaller and smaller, gradually disappearing.

“Then, I’ll take my leave first, Mr. Grindelwald.” Brian said.

“Goodbye and good luck.”

…

The past scene flashed quickly in his mind. Brian was flying in the sky. He saw the towering tower in the distance and the flickering light at the top of the tower.

The light of the curse looked like brilliant fireworks in the night sky. Along with the loud rumbling sound, a large circular hole was opened on the top of the tower. The filled smoke and dust made it difficult to see what was going on inside.

Blaine was getting closer, closer.

Suddenly, with a loud rumbling sound like the sky falling and the earth collapsing, in the distance, the upper half of the tower suddenly collapsed, and the smoke and dust raised covered the entire surrounding sky!

Along with the blood-curdling screams, a black mist rushed into the distant sky like an arrow, blending into the night in the blink of an eye.

Brian looked at the black fog flying away from a distance, sighed, and landed lightly in front of the tower. The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, leaving only half of the tower like giant claws stretching out from the earth, grasping helplessly at the stars in the sky.

Feeling that the traces of powerful magic power had completely dissipated, Brian stood silently among the ruins and sighed softly: “An era is over.”

All the love and hatred of the past have come to an end and were completely buried under this collapsed tower.
