Anduin looked at Harry, Ginny and Neville who were all swollen, as well as Ron, George and Fred who were so thin that they looked like they had been shaved off a layer of skin, and looked at Sirius with a speechless expression.
He couldn't figure out how the six young wizards in front of him could change so much after being away for just over a month.
He clearly made a training plan for several people, and because half of the group gained weight and the other half lost weight, the gap between the two sides was extremely obvious.
"Uh... you can't rely on me for this." Sirius thought Anduin was asking about the three Ron brothers, "They are under Leona's control, and I also think she is too harsh on these children."
Anduin glanced at Leona after hearing this, but the ghost captain looked confident, "You handed them over to me, so of course you have to listen to me in everything, and I didn't abuse them. , there are plenty of meals and rest, we just let them do some work."
When George and the others heard this, they immediately became unhappy. They all shouted with sad faces, "She didn't just ask us to work more. In just this month, we almost renovated the entire boat." , and the food provided is all bread and water, not even a bit meaty!”
"That's right! Uncle Wilson, you'd better send us back quickly. I can't stay here for another day!" Ron looked at Anduin pitifully, looking aggrieved that he was about to cry at any time.
"You all asked for this!"
Surprisingly, Anduin ignored the cries of several people. He asked Leona to deal with the three of them, just to make them bear the consequences of their mistakes.
And he would not listen to the three people's words. As far as he knew, the three of them attended several dinner parties in the manor, and life was not as miserable as he imagined.
"What I want to ask is Harry and the others, how come they have become so fat in just over a month?" Anduin asked Sirius Xingshi.
"Well..." Blake scratched his head in embarrassment, "Actually, it's nothing. It's just because they were having so much fun that they accidentally forgot the training you arranged."
"Can you forget this?" Anduin gave Sirius a hard look, "Look at how fat they are now. Is this nothing?"
Ginny who was next to her saw this and rushed over to act coquettishly, "Godfather, we finally came out to relax, there is no need to make us so tired, don't you think we are all fine now?"
"Hey..." Looking at Ginny's chubby little face, Anduin felt a little tired, "Stop talking, everyone hurry up and pack up. Let Black take you back tomorrow morning. When you get back, you can explain it to Molly." Bar."
"Ah? Aren't you going to go back with us?" At this time, Harry had also become half a fat ball, and he looked naive.
"I still have things to deal with. I will return to Hogwarts before the start of school. Harry, you will stay at Weiss's house for a while after you go back. By the way, let Molly take you to buy teaching aids for the new school year."
After Anduin gave instructions to everyone, he reluctantly left the scene.
After seeing Anduin walking away, Harry looked at Ginny and let out a sigh of relief, "It's a good chance. Fortunately, Uncle Wilson only noticed our figures. If he knew how much you bought during this period, That would be troublesome."
"Oh, it's just a few thousand Galleons, Godfather won't care about it." Ginny curled her lips indifferently, then walked towards Harry with a smile, "And there are quite a few of them from you and Neville.
, don’t blame it all on me.”
After more than a month of contact, the young wizards have become very familiar with each other, and Harry and Ginny have lost a lot of politeness between them.
"Thank you for saying that!" Harry waved his hand and gave Ginny an elbow, "Neville and I have less than one-tenth of what you have, and you forced us to buy a lot of them. If uncle asks
Get up and I won’t speak for you.”
"Huh, no sense of loyalty." Ginny rolled her eyes at Harry, and then jumped away. She had to go back to her room to pack the more than a hundred new clothes, especially before Anduin found out.
Seeing this, Harry and Neville could only shrug helplessly, and then looked at each other's chubby faces and smiled at each other. They had been playing around for the past month, and if Anduin hadn't reminded them, they probably wouldn't have noticed the changes in themselves.
The only injured people in the manor were the three brothers George, Fred and Ron. They couldn't help but suffer the most, and their complaints were ignored. The three of them just wanted to go home quickly. It was better to be grounded in the Burrow.
Comfortable on the Leona.
As for Anduin, he had no intention of pursuing these young wizards at this point, but what he saw and heard today still made him secretly determined to deal with them severely when he returns to Hogwarts.
The next day, Anduin asked Sirius to take the gang of brats back on the Leona early in the morning, while he went to Austria alone.
He decided to visit Nurmengard before the start of school as originally planned.
After a day of running around, Anduin finally approached the rumored Nurmengard. From several kilometers away, he could clearly see the tower standing in the center of the Black Forest.
As Gu Anduin knew, this place was originally built by Grindelwald to imprison opponents. Ironically, Grindelwald imprisoned himself here after his defeat.
"He who comes is stopped!"
Just as Anduin was walking quickly towards Nurmengard, a soft shout suddenly sounded, and at the same time, three wizards wearing cloaks and holding wands quickly emerged from the dense forest next to them.
"We have said many times that the front has been designated as a restricted area and is not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Magic. Similarly, Lord Grindelwald will not accept interviews and does not want anyone to disturb him."
The few people who rushed out recognized Anduin as a wizard, but they might have misunderstood him, thinking that he was an employee of the Ministry of Magic or a reporter.
But it's not surprising to have such suspicions. This place is a forbidden area, and many wizards don't know its location. Being able to reach here proves that your status is extraordinary.
When Anduin heard this, he didn't bother to defend himself. He just took out a badge from his body and showed it to several people.
This is the coat of arms of the Saints' Order that he obtained from the Thunderbird's relics. Owning it represents the status of a Saint, and it is also the certificate of today's Nurmengard.
The leading wizard was shocked when he saw the coat of arms that Anduin showed. This level of coat of arms is not something ordinary saints can possess!
"This... please wait a moment." The wizard who blocked the road respectfully gestured to Anduin, and then turned back to exchange opinions with the other two companions, mainly to confirm the authenticity of the coat of arms.
"Sorry to bother you, please." After a brief exchange, the three of them all agreed that the coat of arms was authentic. It was not only the Deathly Hallows pattern on the coat of arms, but also another set within the Saints' Church itself.
method of identification.
Anduin nodded indifferently upon seeing this, and then continued walking towards Nurmengard without looking back. He never said a word back from the beginning to the end.
Anduin felt disgusted from the bottom of his heart towards these illegal armed forces who maintained their own force and encircled their territory. Apart from not taking the initiative to cause trouble, what was the difference between them and criminal organizations?
Moreover, this group of people even ignores the rules and laws, and even the Ministry of Magic does not take it seriously. If the Austrian Ministry of Magic is in charge of him, this group of madmen must be brought to justice.
Cursing secretly in his heart, he also gradually approached the Nurmengard Tower. This tower occupied a large area. Although it was dilapidated, the former grandeur could still be vaguely seen.
It was already approaching night, and except for a glimmer of light on the top floor, the tower seemed quiet and dark, and no one was watching outside the door.
Anduin came to the door and pushed it gently, and the door creaked open. The door was not even locked?
It seems that the rumors widely circulated by the outside world that Grindelwald was imprisoned here voluntarily are true. Otherwise, with such simple security conditions, it would not be easy for the other party to escape.
After entering the tower, the first floor was a dilapidated and abandoned cell. When Anduin saw this, he didn't hesitate and went straight up the stairs to the top of the tower.
What appeared in front of him at this time was a simple but neatly tidied room with only a few lonely pieces of furniture.
In front of him was an old man with disheveled hair, leaning on the only dining table in the middle of the room, flipping through a thin book under the dim light.
Looking at the state of the book, it had obviously been opened many times. The paper inside was stained yellow, and the text on it was so pale that you had to get closer to see it clearly.
"It seems that I have never seen you, and I don't remember that you were such a big figure in the Saints before." Grindelwald raised his head expressionlessly and looked at Anduin indifferently, "But since they can do it so easily
I let you in, it seems your status is unusual."
Anduin didn't make any response when he heard this. He just came to the old dining table and sat down slowly. At the same time, he took out the coat of arms belonging to the Thunderbird again and pushed it in front of Grindelwald.
"Ah... this is Gerald's badge." Grindelwald recognized its former owner with just a glance, "But with that guy's character, he would not give it to others easily. You... are his grandson.
?Or other juniors?"
It's no wonder that Grindelwald would be so suspicious. After all, Anduin doesn't look like someone of their generation. Although the organization Gerald later joined has the ability to rejuvenate, it won't let its face show off easily.
.
Anduin shook his head when he heard this, "Gerald Stevens is dead. Before he died, he asked me to bring his last words to you."
"I see……"
Upon hearing the news of the death of his former companion and comrade-in-arms, Grindelwald did not show too much sadness, but accepted the fact very calmly.
"What did he want to say to me?"
"Gerrard said that he can never forgive you, but he does not regret fighting alongside you."
"Is that so..." Grindelwald sighed rarely, "He is unwilling to forgive me until his death. It's really that guy's character. It's a pity..."
The old man did not continue to say what was a pity, but just fell into deep thought. Although he did not say a word at this moment, Anduin could still see a trace of desolation emerging from the other person's body.
After a while, Grindelwald slowly raised his head and said, "Death may also be a relief for that guy."
But despite saying this, Grindelwald still felt a little empty in his heart, so he couldn't help but ask Anduin.
"Were you with Gerald before he died? What else did he say at the end? In addition, based on my understanding of him, Gerald probably did not die of natural causes."
In fact, Grindelwald knew a lot of Gerald's secrets, including the part about the elixir in the Silver Spear Club, so theoretically speaking, it is unlikely that Gerald died of natural causes, and his life span was longer than imagined.
Much more.
"That's right." Anduin nodded, "I personally sent him on his way. Before he died, he expressed his gratitude to me and let him enjoy the last bit of peace before his death."
"You mean...you killed Gerald?"
Grindelwald looked at Anduin meaningfully. To be honest, he doubted whether the young man in front of him was lying to him. He knew Gerald's strength too well. That guy was the number one fighter in the Saints Association back then.
General, in terms of combat effectiveness, can be said to be second only to himself.
"Yes."
Anduin responded dully, and then didn't explain much. He just took out a wand and slowly put it on the table, and then took out the next one.
"In addition to 'Thunderbird' Gerald Stevens, I also killed 'Phoenix' Listy Cummins, 'Black Dragon', 'Golden Snitch'..."
As he spoke, Anduin took out a wand from his body until he said the last name, "And Goodwin the Rune Snake!"
When he finished the introduction, nearly 10 wands were neatly placed in front of Grindelwald. Although these wands had different shapes, they all had a distinctive feature, that is, they had a surface as white as ivory. For those who are familiar with wands,
People can recognize them at a glance because they are all made of aspen wood.
"this……"
In fact, Grindelwald was stunned when Anduin showed him the wand that belonged to Gerald.
With each additional wand in front of him, his hole expanded. When he saw the wand belonging to the Rune Snake, Grindelwald was already shocked beyond measure.
He was sure that the wands in front of him were absolutely real. Doesn't that mean that the young man in front of him had brought down the entire Silver Spear Club?
Is this something that a normal person can do? He knew very well how powerful his companions were, let alone their adoptive father, Rune Snake.
Grindelwald, who thought he could maintain a calm mind after so many years, almost cursed.
Immediately afterwards, Grindelwald felt a faint threat from the row of wands. This young man might have come with bad intentions!
"What do you want?" Grindelwald looked at Anduin with serious eyes.
