Chapter 281: Chapter 281

"What problems will the wizarding world face in the future?"

Lockhart muttered to himself upon hearing the question raised by the prophet.

"That's right, Professor Lockhart." Grindelwald nodded: "I'm curious about your thoughts."

Hearing this, Lockhart smiled.

This is when he is a fool, a scholar who only knows academics and knows nothing about human nature.

he thought of what to answer with

Immediately, he made a laugh: "Actually, I made a simple statistic based on books and the annual admission list of Hogwarts, and guessed the problem."

"Others then that, I haven't studied too much."

Grindelwald could naturally hear the perfunctory tone inside, but he wasn't angry either. This was just a simple test.

It would be best if the other party can tell it and let him find out.

Not saying it out means that the other person is not a wizard like Newt who only focuses on his own field and is poor in other aspects.

Well, at least it won't be easy for Dumbledore to take advantage of him.

Then, he heard the other party asking him back: "Mr. Prophet, I wonder what you think about the future development of the wizarding world? When we communicated through letters before, I felt that you should have thought deeply about this."

After Grindelwald heard Lockhart asking him a question, he said, "Actually, I haven't thought much about this aspect. I saw your views in the newspaper last time, which inspired me a lot. The number of wizards is indeed shrinking now, and it will definitely become a big problem in the future. But I believe that with the emergence of meditation, the future development of the wizarding world will definitely usher in a new opportunity."

Hearing this, Lockhart sighed inwardly, but he was not surprised.

It seems that they all understand this truth, especially since the other party is an old monster who has lived for who knows how many years.

Although they have communicated through letters before, this is their first meeting and they will not reveal our true inner thoughts.

With his thoughts turning, Lockhart continued the academic discussion.

It is impossible to talk freely about other things, but in terms of academics, as long as it does not involve his secret, he can talk freely.

Through other aspects, the prophet's inner attitudes towards various groups can also be tested.

"Mr. Prophet, you are an expert in ancient runes. I have introduced runes to you before and also mailed a personal research material. I wonder what you think of these two runes?"

Lockhart's question made Grindelwald ponder for a moment.

He has also studied runes specifically, and he has to praise that this rune seems to present a new rune system.

Novel, systematic, and practical!

Yes, what surprised him most about this rune system was its practicality.

He is a typical interestist, and the first thing he looks at is actual value.

"Professor Lockhart, actually I haven't studied much about runes, but I can feel its charm."

"From the improvement of mental power, the conversion of magic power, including spell casting, resonance with magic power, etc., it seems to be an all-round increase."

"I have to praise it. Compared with ancient runes, this is very practical. it can even achieve some magic through runes."

"Comparing the two, many runes can be used directly, while ancient runes require indirect methods, such as magic items, magic circles, etc."

"I think that for the fusion of the two types of runes, we can focus on how the ancient runes have direct attributes."

"."

Hearing the prophet talk about the differences between the runes he recognized and the ancient runes, Lockhart was also slightly shocked.

Sure enough, different people have different perspectives.

This prophet's thinking is actually closer to the essence.

Focusing on the point of direct and indirect, more research work can be carried out in the future.

It can even be used as a breakthrough point.

As expected of an old monster, he grasped the key points so quickly. It seemed that his previous thinking was correct.

It is to use the wisdom of the entire wizarding world, especially the wisdom of these top wizards, to help him deduce the new magic system.

Lockhart thought and praised.

Grindelwald saw Lockhart's reaction and nodded slightly.

Putting aside everything else, this Lockhart has an obvious thirst for knowledge, and this is a point where he can break through.

Afterwards, the two continued to focus on the new chat direction, conducting academic exchanges while conducting various small experiments to obtain more information.

"Mr. Prophet, it turns out that the ancient rune 'wind' has so many meanings. The information I found in the Hogwarts library seems to be somewhat limited. I don't know if your family has more books on runes. If your family allows you to borrow them, I am willing to pay some price and borrow them for a period of time."

See how close you are to your pureblood family?

"Professor Lockhart, this is no problem. These are some of my collections. I happen to be interested in runes as well. We can just exchange them."

Grindelwald seemed to say casually, and then asked: "By the way, I heard before that Dumbledore also participated in the research of runes. It seems that Dumbledore is also very concerned about this aspect."

How deep is the relationship between Dumbledore and you?

"The principal did participate in my research." Lockhart nodded and said, "He has given me a lot of help in this regard. For example, the initial meditation method, and later the Squib students entering Hogwarts, etc."

Lockhart simply answered and then began to ask: "Mr. Prophet, I feel that the ancient runes were originally inseparable from alchemy. This may cause a certain bias in the process of perfecting the rune system. what you think?"

After hearing this, Grindelwald thought for a while and said, "There is nothing wrong with your idea. It is indeed very possible."

"The will of the wizard directly determines the direction of the development of things. At that time, many wizards were very crazy in their pursuit of magic items. It's normal to focus more on the effect of runes on magic items."

"."

The communication between the two people was still superficial and deep at first.

But later, there became more and more tacit understanding.

There are a lot of academic exchanges mixed in, so the temptation becomes natural.

In terms of academics, the two chatted openly. Except for some key information, there was not much caution in the rest of the chat.

In terms of probing, everyone will disclose certain information. As for whether it is true or false, it is up to the other party to judge, but they will definitely answer.

Such a tacit understanding allowed the two to quickly become familiar with each other.

At the same time, both parties gradually gained a certain impression of each other's character.

Well, to put it simply, it's an old fox and a little fox.

The performance of the prophet made Lockhart sigh. He was indeed an old monster who had lived for many years. He had a strong control over the topic and was very cautious.

Lockhart's performance also surprised Grindelwald.

he originally thought he was an academic scholar, but he didn't expect Lockhart to be extremely good in all aspects.

Facing the various temptations he just gave, he dealt with them with ease and quickly formed a tacit understanding later on.

With such a tacit understanding.

When the two met for the first time, they seemed to communicate like friends they had not seen for many years.

Vaguely, he seemed to see his past self or Dumbledore, or even a combination of the two.

The same amazing talent, the same comprehensiveness.

Knowing how to advance and retreat will not cause embarrassing situations, and the details in all aspects are done very well.

However, the characteristics of the other party are obvious, that is, the other party's thirst for knowledge.

Grindelwald has to sigh, he is indeed a raven who came out of Ravenclaw, his greed for knowledge is clearly demonstrated.

As time passed by, the frequency of communication between the two gradually decreased.

They seemed very satisfied with this exchange and gained a lot of information.

Before it was about to end, Grindelwald seemed to have thought of something and said, "Professor Lockhart, I have to say that the emergence of meditation is of epoch-making significance. But again, I suggest you act a little more cautiously these days."

"Oh, can we talk in detail? Mr. Prophet." Lockhart asked as if he was curious.

"According to the information I received, you have been submitting papers to journals such as Philosopher's Stone recently. During this period, there has been a lot of activity in the pure-blood family. Now, it is very close to the publication of the next issue of the journal, I suggest you pay attention." Grindelwald reminded.

Hearing this, Lockhart was a little stunned, as if Grindelwald's words suddenly woke him up, and said in a deep voice: "Thanks for the reminder, I will pay more attention to the movements of pure-blood families."

Then, as if he thought of something, he waved his magic wand, and an exquisite black gift box floated out of the air.

Then slowly fell in front of Grindelwald.

Looking at the gift box in front of him, Grindelwald was a little curious. His slight perception just now did not reveal any strange aura, not even the slightest energy fluctuation.

Seeing the curious look in his eyes, Lockhart introduced him: "Mr. Prophet, I had a great time chatting today, and your last reminder is very important to me."

"This gift is given to you. I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future, and I hope we can become good friends in the future."

After hearing this, Grindelwald smiled and said, "Thank you Professor Lockhart."

Then, he waved away.

In the exchange just now, it was obvious that Professor Lockhart revealed his willingness to win over him and join his research.

This gift may be both a thank you and an invitation to win over the other person.

Of course he wouldn't be polite.

He just provided a key piece of information.

Lockhart saw a smile on his face after seeing the prophet put away the gift.

Academic exchanges only serve to seduce each other's curiosity.

A new piece of magical knowledge with unlimited potential will definitely be able to elicit information from the other party.

But if you want to convince the other party, you need new temptations.

And his gift is definitely attractive to the old monster.

As for the pure-blood family that the prophet just reminded him of, he didn't care.

Every move of the pure-blood family is now in his eyes, and he is now waiting for the opponent to start, and then severely Damage them in one fell swoop.

Afterwards, the two wizards, each with his or her own thoughts, simply said goodbye and left.

There were only two empty glasses left on the table.

Nurmengard, Castle Study.

It's snowy outside, the cold wind is howling, and the magic stove in the study is burning brightly.

To drive away the cold from the empty study.

At this moment, suddenly.

call!

The blue flame rose up.

It then disappeared, revealing the figure of a middle-aged wizard with an owl on his shoulder.

It seems to be back to a familiar environment.

Nubi flapped his wings and flew up to the bracket beside the wall. At the same time, he changed his body, and an eagle gradually appeared.

Finally, he grasped the bracket tightly with his claws and looked around with sharp eyes.

At the same time, Grindelwald gently opened his hand, and the dark blue clothes automatically fell off and hung like a hanger on the side.

as he walked towards his desk, his figure gradually changed. Return to his original appearance.

He has white hair and a slightly older face, but his energy is still there.

Sitting at the desk, he carefully reflected on this exchange with Lockhart.

After a moment, a trace of emotion appeared in his eyes.

Lockhart is a talent and a good prospect.

The only pity is that he has a good relationship with Dumbledore now.

But it doesn't matter. Later, he will have time to deal with it slowly.

He is very familiar with convincing the other person to join him.

Then, as if he thought of something, he waved his hand gently, and a black gift box was placed on the desk.

Reach out his wand and tap lightly.

In an instant, the gift box was opened.

But at the same time.

A breath of life rushed in.

He looked at a small bottle placed in the middle of the gift box, and inside the bottle was only a piece of emerald green powder the size of a fingernail.

Grindelwald's eyes fell into deep thought, and at the same time, a playful smile appeared on his face.

He reached for the bottle and poured a little out of it.

Feeling the huge life breath contained in this small amount of powder, swallow it without hesitation.

Then, close his eyes and feel the vitality slowly emerging from his body, nourishing his slightly aging body and soul.

After a moment, Grindelwald opened his eyes, a trace of surprise and fleeting greed flashed in his eyes.

This Professor Lockhart really has something.

He just doesn't know. if Dumbledore know?

If he didn't know, it's really interesting.

With his thoughts turning, Grindelwald waved his hand gently, and a white envelope appeared on the desk.

Seeing this, Grindelwald picked up the quill next to him and slowly wrote on the envelope.

Chapter 282: Chapter 282

German Wizarding World, Shafiq Family Manor, Garden.

"Wingardium Leviosa!"

"Wingardium Leviosa!"

"."

In the colorful and fragrant garden, a 7-year-old boy was waving his wand to cast a levitating spell on the flowers on the ground.

There are flowers of all kinds of strange colors all around. These flowers more or less exude strange magic fluctuations. The flowers are of different colors. The flower bed is very elegant when combined.

Next to him, an old middle-aged man was sitting on a chair with a smile on his face, watching his grandson practice the spell.

Not far away, there were several servant-like beings standing around, cheering up and watching everything.

As the little boy cast the floating spell again and again, soon, the flowers that had fallen on the ground began to float, drifting towards the broken flower branches.

Seeing this scene, the slightly older middle-aged man on the side nodded slightly.

When he see the flowers and the broken branches connected to each other.

Stretching out the wand and tapping it lightly in the air, the broken flowers were connected together as if they had never been broken.

Seeing this scene, a joy flashed across the boy's face.

At the same time, a voice of praise came from my ears.

"Haas, my good grandson, you are really a genius. Your father could not be as good as you when he was a child."

Hearing his grandfather's praise, the little boy Haas Shafiq looked excited.

Then, he heard his grandfather say again: "Come on, Haas, put the larger flower next to it back in its place."

As he spoke, Philo Shafiq stretched out his wand and waved it lightly, and the transparent wind blade lightly passed by.

A larger blue flower fell to the ground on the side.

"Okay, Grandpa."

After hearing this, Haas replied excitedly, then waved the wand in his hand and cast the floating spell again on the blue flowers.

On the side, Philo Shafiq was lying on the seat leisurely observing his grandson's movements.

As the patriarch of the Shafiq family in Germany, he is very concerned about the growth of his grandson.

When Haas was 5 years old, his bloodline awakened and his magic power rioted. He was undoubtedly a genius.

For any pure-blood family, the quality of the heir can directly affect the rise and fall of the family.

His son Pablo Shafiq cannot be said to be a fool, but he is a mediocre person.

Fortunately, he can still live for a long time and be able to take care of his grandson as he grows up.

When the time comes, some of the family's relationships and inheritance can be slowly handed over to him.

The Shafiq family in the German wizarding world is not like the Shafiq family in the British wizarding world that has declined directly, and is even close to extinction.

Although their family is not as powerful as the Shafiq family at its peak, its influence in all aspects is not weak.

As for the reason

Philo glanced at the magic mark on his right arm, and a trace of fanaticism flashed in his eyes.

The outer edge of the mark is a triangle that symbolizes the invisibility cloak, the inner part is a circle that symbolizes the Resurrection Stone, and the vertical bar interspersed in the middle symbolizes the Elder Wand.

This is the mark of the Alliance, a symbol of following Lord Grindelwald.

Yes, he is part of Alliance. He followed Lord Grindelwald when he was young and became a core figure in the Alliance.

With this relationship, he maintains good contact with many wizard families and powerful wizards among the Alliance.

Therefore, although it suffered a strong blow from the Ministry of Magic after the Alliance failure, he still persisted. Now, it has returned to normal and even achieved further development.

Although Lord Grindelwald chose to 'self-imprison', the Alliance did not despair and just remained silent.

They believe that Lord Grindelwald is just waiting for the right time, and when the right time comes, the Alliance will sweep in.

All for the greater good! ! !

While Philo Shafiq was leisurely observing his grandson practicing magic.

suddenly

Philo felt the magic brand on his right arm heat up.

Buzz!

The next moment, a blue flame appeared beside him.

After noticing this familiar scene, Philo was a little surprised, but it quickly turned into enthusiasm.

Finally, he finally got what he had been waiting for.

Philo immediately stood up, touched his left shoulder with his right hand very respectfully, and slowly lowered his head to show respect.

At the same time, he whispered: "Respect to Lord Grindelwald, your loyal believer Philo Shafiq, listen to your call."

From the words, one can still hear the excitement that cannot be concealed.

The grandson Haas next to him looked at this scene curiously, not quite understanding his grandfather's actions.

Walking to the side, he was a little curious, but asked seriously: "Grandpa, who is this?"

"Shut up." Philo Shafiq whispered seriously, which made Haas a little aggrieved.

Philo ignored his grandson's expression. He quickly pulled his grandson in front of him, and through his magic power, he said: "Haas, say hello to Lord Grindelwald according to the method I taught you before."

After hearing this, Haas seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes were full of surprise and curiosity.

Looking at the cluster of blue flames in front of him, he quickly put his right hand on his left shoulder and lowered his head to show respect like his grandfather.

At the same time, he said timidly: "Dear Lord Grindelwald, Hass Shafiq greet you. The Shafiq family obeys your call."

Although Philo on the side was a little dissatisfied with his grandson's voice being a little soft.

But there was no time to say anything.

because

The blue flame changed, and a familiar face formed by the flame slowly appeared.

Thousands of miles away in Nurmengard, Grindelwald saw this scene happening in the Shafiq family garden, and a trace of indifference flashed in his eyes.

And Philo Shafiq heard a sentence coming from the blue flame face: "Philo, I see the loyalty of the Shafiq family."

"Now, you can activate the Alliance, wait for the opportunity, and complete the mission."

After saying that, Philo saw a small part of the blue flame branching off and flying towards his grandson Haas.

In the blink of an eye, it landed on his grandson's eyebrows.

Then, a familiar mark of a saint appeared between his eyebrows.

Seeing this scene, Philo's eyes flashed with ecstasy, and he quickly said respectfully: "Lord Grindelwald, thank you for your recognition of the Shafiq family."

"The arrival of your will is the glory of the Shafiq family. We will fight to the death to complete it."

Grandson Hass was given a mark between his eyebrows, which represented acceptance by the Alliance, especially given by Lord Grindelwald himself.

This means that in the future, as long as his grandson does not make mistakes, he can take over all the relationships he has managed in the Alliance and maintain the stability of the family.

You know, although the Alliance have been hit before, they have even been divided.

But as the core, Gellert Grindelwald, does not perish, and the Alliance will not disperse.

As long as Lord Grindelwald calls, all the former Alliance will return again, even those who have been divided long ago.

However, this time, no words rang in Philo's ears, he just saw the blue flame disappear.

At the same time, a letter slowly floated towards him.

After Philo saw it, he took it with both hands respectfully, looked around, and dismissed his grandson and servants.

Then he opened it carefully.

The tasks assigned by Lord Grindelwald must be completed.

As he slowly opened the letter, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he murmured to himself: "Summon the Alliance. Hide your identity and suppress everything about Gilderoy Lockhart."

Hogwarts, Snape's office.

Snape looked at the pale golden potion in front of him.

There was a trace of enthusiasm, hesitation and struggle in his eyes.

The potion of pure blood was successfully refined, and the effect was even better than he originally expected.

It was so good that he was reluctant to give it to Lockhart directly.

If he down this bottle of magic potion and took it himself, his strength would undoubtedly rise to another level.

It is very likely that he will get a chance to take revenge with his own hands. At least he will be able to fight against the seriously injured Dark Lord.

This is what he has dreamed of.
