With the official showdown between Snape and Dumbledore, the two began to compete for influence and dominance around the savior.
Harry Potter would be called to the principal's office by Dumbledore at least once every two or three days for a talk.
Snape, on the other hand, would use insinuations to learn the content of the conversation, and then refute each one in private to ensure that his stepson would not be deceived again.
During the confrontation between the two, a large number of secrets that were originally hidden were revealed to the public.
Especially after learning that the lightning-shaped scar on his forehead was actually Voldemort's Horcrux, Harry fell into shock and panic, and even had nightmares for several days.
Because he had faced the remnant soul of Voldemort when he was in first grade, and he knew very well what kind of evil, dark, twisted and sick guy he was.
When he thought about coexisting with the other person's soul fragments for more than ten years, he felt a shuddering fear.
Every morning when I get up and wash my face and brush my teeth, I stand in front of the mirror and stare at the scar on my forehead for several minutes.
But the biggest change that happened to Harry Potter was that he began to become like Hermione, crazy and eager to learn all kinds of magical knowledge.
Not only did he listen carefully in class, he also spent almost all his spare time either in the library or going to Snape's office to ask him about spells, potions and other things he didn't understand.
As for even the favorite Quidditch game has been forgotten, there is no time to participate in training.
This aroused strong dissatisfaction from Oliver Wood, captain of the Gryffindor team.
But whether he went to complain to his dean, Professor McGonagall, or threatened Harry to kick him out of the team, the latter remained unmoved at all.
Because compared with the huge threat posed by the Horcrux in the scar, the so-called sports most popular among wizards are not worth mentioning.
Obviously, the reason why Harry is so crazy about acquiring knowledge is to find a way to separate Voldemort's Horcrux from his body.
But this is obviously not an easy task, at least not something that can be done in a short time, otherwise Dumbledore would have done it long ago.
As a side effect of the crazy acquisition of knowledge, his grades in various subjects began to improve rapidly, and his personality also underwent great changes under external stimulation. He seemed to have become the most improved student in the second grade together with Ron, who was also enlightened.
p>
If nothing else happens, after this semester ends, the trio will completely break away from their original life trajectories and embark on a completely different path.
All these changes gave Albus Dumbledore, who likes to control everything secretly, a strong sense of crisis.
Especially when he learned that his most trusted vice-principal, Minerva McGonagall, had resurrected his younger brother and lover with the help of magical mercury, he felt as if he had been betrayed by the entire world.
After all, it was because Snape resurrected Lily that the two eventually had a fierce confrontation and conflict over how to treat Harry Potter.
Looking at the scene of students gathering in groups of twos and threes to play and play outside the window, the greatest wizard of our time couldn't help but sigh slightly, and sighed with a slightly bitter voice: "I am really old, and I actually think about the possibilities of the future.
Scared by the changes happening."
"No, what scares you is not the future, but the unknown that is beyond your control.
Admit it, Albus, you have always been a person with a strong desire to control.
Because of this, you have been careful to avoid touching power, for fear that you will get lost in it and become another person.
Because essentially, we are all the same kind of people.
It's just that I chose to release my nature, but you chose to hide it."
Grindelwald's phantom suddenly appeared out of thin air, unceremoniously exposing the old lover's hypocrisy.
"So you think I did something wrong in my treatment of Harry?" Dumbledore asked without looking back.
Grindelwald sneered and responded: "Not just on this matter! Everything you have done recently is on the opposite side of the entire magical world. If this situation continues to develop, maybe you will end up like me.
The fate of."
Instantly!
Dumbledore fell silent.
He understood that the other party was not being alarmist, but that it might actually happen.
After all, in the beginning, Gellert Grindelwald also won the support of thousands of wizards with his speeches, and created such a huge outcry that even the International Federation of Wizards had to respond. If my original adventurous plan had not succeeded in the end, maybe the world today would be different.
In this process, those who originally enthusiastically supported Grindelwald completely changed their attitudes in a very short period of time, and even labeled him the famous "Dark Wizard".
You must know that before this, he was hailed as a great man who could bring changes to the wizarding world, and his reputation and influence were exactly the same as Dumbledore's today.
Seeing that his old lover had understood what he wanted to express, Grindelwald continued to himself: "Since you already know that you are old, you should let go and leave the future to young people. Especially Suo Suo.
He will definitely grow into a great wizard far beyond you and me. With him here, Voldemort is nothing."
"That's why I feel uneasy. Because in this era, no wizard can compare with Soth. Once he takes the wrong path, he will inevitably lead the entire magical world into a terrible abyss."
Dumbledore's tone revealed strong concern.
In his opinion, Zuo Si's growth rate is too amazing, and he has an incredibly strong self-awareness and will not be affected by any external factors at all.
This means that once Zuo Si decides to do something, even Hermione, who is currently closest to him, cannot stop him.
"That's why I say that your desire for control is too strong. Who can say clearly what will happen in the future? What's more, even if you go all out, how long can you suppress Soth? One year, two years, three years? I
I can guarantee that if he continues at this rate, he might take your current position next year."
When he said these words, Grindelwald's eyes and expressions clearly showed a hint of mockery.
Because when he chose to admit defeat and quit decades ago, he had completely given up everything.
But Dumbledore is different!
Since the latter has betrayed his original vow to change the status quo of the magical world, he must shoulder the corresponding obligations to ensure the peace and tranquility of the magical world.
This heavy sense of responsibility inevitably leads to the illusion that he is the savior and the last hope.
That’s why I always want to arrange everything properly and suppress all uncontrollable risk factors.
"Then according to your opinion, you should let it go?
Do you know what a huge impact and shock the second magic stone's resurrection power has brought to the originally peaceful magic world?
Whether it is the United Kingdom, Europe, or the Americas on the other side of the ocean, there is an undercurrent surging in order to compete for the right to use this magic stone.
Many dark wizards even secretly joined forces to launch an attack to snatch it away.
I dare to bet with my beard that Voldemort must be hiding in the dark and waiting for an opportunity, planning to use the power of this magic stone to complete his resurrection.
But what about Soth?
Just throw the Philosopher's Stone to those incompetent and corrupt officials at the Ministry of Magic and forget about it!
As the Headmaster of Hogwarts, I never deny his gifts and talents, but I cannot agree with this irresponsible behavior."
Dumbledore publicly expressed his inner dissatisfaction for the first time.
In this old man's view, Zuo Si was too casual when dealing with messy inventions, and even didn't care at all.
Whether it was giving Harry a magic scroll that was still in the research stage in the first grade, or customizing a wand and ring for him as long as he paid money, or allowing Fudge and a bunch of Ministry of Magic bureaucrats to use the second Philosopher's Stone,
He felt very uncomfortable having private transactions with those wealthy and powerful families.
But Grindelwald shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "Why do I feel that what you just said is caused by human greed and has nothing to do with Soth?
He just focuses more on the research that interests him and doesn't want to waste precious time and energy on boring nonsense.
If you have any objections to him, I would be more than happy to broker a deal for him to transfer to Beauxbatons or Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
I believe that Nicol Flamel will be very happy to have his alma mater accept such a genius who surpasses himself in the field of alchemy."
"Do you think I still have the ability to fire Soth now?"
A self-deprecating expression appeared on Dumbledore's face.
"To tell you the truth, if I dare to touch him now, the Hogwarts Board of Directors and the British Ministry of Magic will immediately join forces to expel me from the position of principal. After all, in the eyes of these people, the talent Soth represents
It is the future, which means huge benefits and benefits."
"Hahahaha! I never thought you would be here today." Grindelwald couldn't help laughing loudly.
He suddenly felt that the scene before him was simply a huge joke played by fate.
It is so ironic that Dumbledore, who claims to stand on the side of the interests of the majority, would be betrayed by the group he has been protecting all these years.
"You came today just to laugh at me, right?" Dumbledore turned around and asked.
Grindelwald stopped laughing and shook his head slightly: "No, of course not. I'm here to inform you that Soth has arrived in France and is visiting Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. If nothing else, his trip to Europe
You should find time to visit me."
"Do you want him to inherit your ideals?"
Dumbledore's pupils suddenly dilated, contracted, and then dilated again, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression all over his body.
At this moment, he no longer had half of his usual amiable kindness, instead he was as sharp as an unsheathed sword.
You don’t need to ask to know that this moment is the most real side of Albus Dumbledore.
After all, when he was young, he was a more radical revolutionary than Grindelwald.
Looking at this extremely familiar look, Grindelwald felt as if he had suddenly returned to the years when the two of them talked about their ideals and passion in Godric's Hollow decades ago. After a long time, he responded: "No, my dear.
Don’t think, you are thinking too much.
I said that South has a strong self-awareness that ordinary people cannot match.
Therefore, neither you nor I can exert any influence on it.
Even if one day he prepares to overturn the law of secrecy and reshape the world, it must be out of his own ideas and not to inherit my ideals.
As for the content of our conversation, I will tell you the truth later.
It’s all for the greater good…”
As the last word blurted out, Grindelwald's magic projection immediately disappeared from the spot, as if it had never appeared.
Dumbledore stood there for about five or six minutes, then repeated "for the greater good" in a low voice before turning and returning to the principal's office.
……
At the same time, far away on the European continent across the English Channel, Zuo Si was visiting Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry deep in the Pyrenees Mountains, visiting the beautiful natural scenery and unique magic education.
Accompanying her are the principal, Mrs. Olim Maxim, and Nico Flamel, the master alchemist.
Like Hogwarts, Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is also a typical castle-like manor.
But compared with the bad weather and the outrageous cold environment in the UK, it is obviously much more comfortable here.
Whether it's the endless green lawn or the spectacular scenery of the mountains in the distance, they are all so beautiful.
Moreover, on the lawn, there are many rune horses with silver manes, fiery red eyes and the size of elephants, running freely in groups, adding vitality to this picture.
If we look at the area alone, Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is almost six times the size of Hogwarts and still has room to spare.
Because hundreds of years ago, the greatest alchemist in the world - Nicol Flamel was born here.
In order to repay the school for cultivating him, the latter continued to make large donations throughout his long life, allowing Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to easily annex large tracts of surrounding land.
"What's your first impression of our place?" Mrs. Maxim asked with a smile.
Although she is a mixed-race giant with a height of three meters, both her movements and her tone of voice reveal an elegance that is difficult to describe in words.
Zuo Si answered straightforwardly: "Pretty good. If I had to choose a place to settle down for a long time between Hogwarts and Beauxbatons, I would choose the latter without hesitation. Because the weather in the British Isles is really bad.
Especially after entering October, you will catch a cold if you accidentally get caught in the rain."
"Haha, the weather in the UK in winter is indeed a bit unflattering."
When Mrs. Maxim heard these words, she immediately involuntarily raised the corners of her mouth.
Although Zuo Si has successfully avoided direct comparisons between Hogwarts and Beauxbatons with her "high emotional intelligence", being able to beat her biggest competitor in terms of livability is also a victory for her.
In fact, the overt and covert competition between the three major magic academies in Europe has never stopped.
Among them, the "Triwizard Tournament" that lasted for seven hundred years is the best proof.
Friendship first and competition second are all used to deceive people.
Otherwise, such a strict magical contract would not have been made, and so many contestants would have died in various dangerous competitions.
To put it simply, the Triwizard Tournament is an external display conducted by the three magic schools Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang to prove their strength.
Whoever can win the final victory will be able to temporarily sit on the throne of the best magic school in Europe.
Nico Flamel, who had lived for several centuries, obviously knew very well what the principal was thinking, and immediately interrupted with a slightly helpless tone: "Let's talk about business. I brought Soth here to perform magic.
Communicate instead of talking about the British weather."
"Ah! I'm sorry, Master, I would have forgotten it if you didn't remind me." Mrs. Maxim quickly knelt down and apologized.
As the oldest surviving alumnus with the highest reputation and influence, she did not dare to turn a deaf ear to Nico Flamel’s words.
After all, in addition to having a famous name, this old man is also the biggest "financier father" of Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The huge magic statue that stands on the campus is the best proof.
You must know that at Hogwarts, even Dumbledore, who is known as the greatest wizard of our time, did not receive such treatment.
"Forget it. More than this, I want to know why none of the officials from the Ministry of Magic said they were coming? Didn't they say they wanted to come to see Soth in person?" Nico Flamel frowned and asked.<
/p>
Mrs. Maxim replied with a wry smile: "Haven't you heard? There was a problem in the prison where the prisoners were detained recently. A dark wizard defeated the guards and broke in, taking away thirteen people who had committed numerous crimes in one breath.
A criminal sentenced to life imprisonment. At the moment, the Ministry of Magic is busy hunting down fugitives, and there is no time to take care of other things."
"What? A dark wizard attacked the prison? The world is really getting more and more chaotic." Nico Flamel was obviously surprised.
But what he didn't know was that the rumored evil dark wizard was standing next to him.
That’s right!
It was Zuo Si who attacked the prison, and those felons were sacrifices prepared for the resurrection of Voldemort in his youth.
But what he didn't expect was that the reaction from the French Ministry of Magic would be so great after the prison robbery. They tracked him for several days without any intention of relaxing.
"Who says it isn't? Recently, several vicious cases have occurred in the European magic world. It is said that the final finger points are pointed at the resurrection ability of the second magic stone. Currently, someone is offering one million gold galleons on the black market.
Just to get enough magic mercury to resurrect the dead."
When saying these words, Mrs. Maxim did not forget to glance at Zuo Si beside her with the corner of her eye.
In her opinion, the second magic stone made by Zuo Si is much more precious than the first magic stone made by Nico Flamel.
Not to mention anything else, just being able to resurrect from the dead can drive countless wizards crazy.
Nico Flamel sneered and said sarcastically: "One million gold galleons? It seems that some families can no longer hold it in any longer. When I made the first magic stone, they also joined forces.
They want to take it away. But this time, they are facing not only the British Ministry of Magic, but also the entire British wizarding world, including Dumbledore."
"Sounds interesting?" Zuo Si touched his chin with a playful expression.
There is no doubt that as a magical world spread all over the world, it is obviously impossible to be as simple as described in the original work. There is only one Voldemort and his mentally abnormal guys causing trouble.
Quite the opposite!
Those ancient magic families that existed hundreds or even thousands of years ago are behemoths rooted in all levels of society.
Especially on the European continent, many ancient families can be traced back thousands of years to the ancient Greek city-state era, the Alexander conquest period, the ancient Roman republic era, etc. Their background is not comparable to that of the "upstarts" on the British Isles.
of.
The Malfoy family, which currently has huge influence in the British wizarding world, is actually just one of the ordinary wizarding families that followed William the Conqueror into England in the early 1,000 AD.
Therefore, compared to the British magical world, the European continent is truly controlled and controlled by those ancient families.
They have even deepened their roots into the social level through marriage. Whether they are half-blood wizards or wizards of Muggle origin, tracing back they will find that they are the descendants of a lost member of the big family.
"Interesting? Believe me, it won't be that interesting if these guys decide to attack you. Be careful, Soth, they have already set their sights on you." Nico Flamel reminded him seriously.
"It doesn't matter. As long as they are not afraid of death, then go ahead."
Zuo Si raised the corners of his mouth with a dangerous smile and fiddled with the special wand in his hand.
"It's great to be young!"
Realizing that the young man in front of him must have been prepared in advance, Nico Flamel stopped talking nonsense, just sighed, and motioned to Madame Maxime to arrange a public class as soon as possible.
He didn't want the fight to break out inside the Beauxbatons campus.
In this way, Zuo Si spent four unforgettable days at Beauxbatons, one of the three major magic schools in Europe.
In particular, the enthusiasm and openness of the female students here left a deep impression on her.
In just four days, he received no less than thirty love letters, ten planned "unexpected" encounters, and a large number of flowers, gifts and suggestive cards.
It truly is a romantic France!
It's a pity that Zuo Si is currently busy thinking about what actions these ancient wizard families rooted in the European continent will take against him, so he has no intention of having a wonderful encounter.
After leaving Beauxbatons, his journey immediately turned from bright to dark, and he disappeared from everyone's sight.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when the spies and informants were frantically searching, Zuo Si quietly came to the prison where Gellert Grindelwald was imprisoned - Nurmengard.
Of course, this place is not strictly a prison, but is similar to self-imprisonment.
After all, this powerful wizard who set off a wave of revolution throughout Europe was not really defeated, but chose to admit defeat.
In addition, it is impossible to imprison Grindelwald in an ordinary prison like Azkaban.
Looking at the spire standing on the top of the mountain and the famous saying "for the greater good" above the entrance, Zuo Si directly transformed himself into a spirit body and passed through the walls and ceiling, easily deceiving the guards.
Just when he was about to enter the last room directly, he suddenly found that someone had applied powerful force field protection and spirit expulsion here.
Especially those complex spells, which can even directly remove all deformation, virtualization and other magical effects on the body.
You don't need to ask to know that all these spells were cast and blessed by Dumbledore himself.
Apart from the Headmaster, it is estimated that only Voldemort or Grindelwald himself can do this.
Many of these ancient spells have long since been too difficult and dangerous to learn, and have been slowly replaced by newer and simpler spells.
But the simple price is that it is full of loopholes and very easy to be cracked.
This is why ancient spells are often more powerful than modern spells.
As a planeswalker with an unusual interest in magic knowledge, Zuo Si certainly could not let go of this opportunity to learn, and immediately began the work of unraveling the curse in an orderly manner.
Whenever a spell is successfully lifted, the structure of the spell will be recorded, and I plan to take it back to find an opportunity to study it in depth, and finally complete the improvement and transformation.
After removing the last protective spell blocking his progress, he casually gave the guard squatting at the door a sleeping spell, then stepped forward and pushed open the main door and walked in.
Due to the dim light, I could only vaguely see a slightly thin figure standing in the center of the room.
Although he is very old, his figure is still tall and straight, exuding a kind of arbitrary and domineering attitude.
Especially the two eyes, against the dim light, are like stars hanging in the sky, both bright and penetrating.
"You're here...I thought you would be earlier."
Grindelwald took the initiative to say hello.
Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders and replied: "Sorry, I was so absorbed in studying the protection and expulsion spells outside the cell that I accidentally lost track of time. Oh, I almost forgot, I also brought you a gift.
."
As he spoke, he took out a paper package the size of a biscuit box from his pocket.
Grindelwald obviously did not expect that Zuo Si would bring him a gift. He subconsciously took it and opened the package. He found a large box of gummy candies and immediately couldn't help but laugh: "Hahahaha! You are very interesting! Better than me.
It's much more fun than I imagined. Incidentally, this was Albus's favorite gift, not mine."
"I think you should also like what Professor Dumbledore likes. After all, you two are so similar in some places. Try it, it tastes very good." Zuo Si made a gesture of invitation.<
/p>
"The tone and demeanor you speak now remind me of him when he was young."
While Grindelwald sighed, he picked up a few gummies and threw them into his mouth to chew, his eyes revealing the nostalgia for the good times in the past.
After the gummies in his mouth were gone, he placed the candy bag on the table behind him and began to look at the young man standing in front of him with great interest. After a full minute, he said: "You are indeed
Very similar to Albus! Especially the strong self-will that is not affected by the outside world, it is as if it was carved out of the same mold. Tell me, why did you come all the way to see me?"
p>
"Before I express my intention, I would like to ask a small question first. Are you afraid of death?" Zuo Si asked seriously.
"No, I'm not afraid. For people of my age, death is not the end of everything, but the beginning of another new adventure. It doesn't matter if it's earlier or later."
Grindelwald's tone was relaxed and joyful.
In fact, in this regard, from the moment he decided to launch a revolution to overturn the secrecy law, he had already put his own life and death at risk.
"Great. Can you please do me a small favor and die a few times?" Zuo Si asked with a smile on his face.
How many times have you died?!
After hearing these words, even though Grindelwald was well-informed, he was stunned on the spot for a long time and did not come back to his senses.
After all, in most people's understanding, life often only happens once, and it is completely over when you die.
But soon, he realized that Zuo Si had mastered the power of resurrection from the dead, so the meaning of this sentence should be to allow himself to explore the world after death, and then resurrect to describe everything he saw.
p>
After thinking about this, this powerful wizard who was almost as powerful as Dumbledore took a deep breath and asked in an uncertain tone: "Do you want to uncover the mystery of death?"
Zuo Si nodded slightly: "Yes. I am very interested in the world after death. But considering that most people are very afraid of death, it is difficult to concentrate on observing the surrounding scenes and details after death. Only things like
Only people like you and Professor Dumbledore who have no fear of death can help me complete this research."
"You are really a madman!"
After confirming his guess, Grindelwald's eyes revealed strong fear for the first time.
He finally realized why his old lover would always look wary whenever he mentioned the young man in front of him.
Because this way of thinking that doesn’t care about ethics and morals and only wants the final result is really too dangerous and scary.
Especially in the field of death, wizards have very little understanding of it. Normally, they should first try it slowly and with the most cautious and gentle methods.
But Zuo Si was better, he just experimented on people directly, and it was also a crazy death experiment.
"Crazy? Maybe. If you don't object, how about we start now?"
As Zuo Si spoke, he took out a large number of instruments and devices from his carry-on suitcase, filling the originally not very large room.
Some of them are obviously technological devices at first glance, mainly used to detect brain waves, but many more are magical devices that he personally built.
Looking at these strange-shaped instruments, Grindelwald's mouth twitched inadvertently, he raised his head and asked: "What will you do if I say you disagree?"
"Don't agree? Why don't you agree? Didn't you say that you have no fear of death, and it doesn't matter if you come earlier or later?"
As Zuo Si spoke, he put a headband containing a small amount of psychic energy on the other person's head.
From this skillful movement, it is easy to see that he had no intention of giving Grindelwald the chance to refuse him.
Of course, Grindelwald had no intention of resisting or refusing. He allowed these instruments to be put on his body one by one, and asked in a very curious tone: "How are you going to kill me? Is it the Death Curse? Or other killing spells."
?Remember not to make it too bloody, otherwise it will be troublesome to clean up."
"Don't worry, I guarantee that the killing process will be very efficient, without any bloodshed or pain. But before you start, please sign this voluntary agreement."
Zuo Si didn't know where he took out a parchment scroll densely written with tiny characters.
You must know that murder is a first-degree felony in the wizarding world. If you are discovered, you will definitely be prosecuted.
But if the person involved voluntarily participated in some dangerous magic research and caused an accident, that would be another matter.
"Are you the devil?"
After glancing at the contents of the contract, Grindelwald felt bad.
Because he had never heard of more than half of the legal provisions and precedents cited.
And if you sign this agreement, no matter what happens, you have to bear the consequences yourself, and you have nothing to do with the other party.
Zuo Si responded with a smile: "No, I just like to make all the necessary preparations in advance. Come on, sign quickly, and then our experiment can begin. Aren't you curious about what the world after death will look like?
What does it look like? Does the legendary God of Death really exist? All this will be answered soon."
"Okay, I sign."
The old man was obviously moved.
He already knows almost all the secrets of the magical world. It would be nice if he could start an afterlife adventure in the last stage of his life.
The moment the name Gellert Grindelwald appeared on the last line of the parchment scroll, a cold negative energy instantly swept through the entire room.
Grindelwald didn't even have time to react before he lost consciousness and died on the spot.
You don't need to ask to know that Zuo Si did not use the Death Curse, but the [Finger of Death] in the seven-ring magic.
Because the Death Curse is an Unforgivable Curse banned by the Ministry of Magic in various countries, as a good student who abides by the law (at least on the surface), how could he know the law and break it?
But it would be different if it were replaced with [Finger of Death].
Since this spell has never appeared in this world, it will naturally not appear on the banned list.
After killing Grindelwald, Zuo Si did not rush to resurrect him, but took out a pocket watch and started timing.
About half an hour later, he resurrected the already cold body.
In the blink of an eye, accompanied by violent convulsions, Grindelwald's soul was forcibly dragged back from the world after death.
The moment he opened his eyes, a large number of instruments around him began to make harsh sounds.
Especially the brain waves are at least dozens of times more intense than usual.
"Huh-huh-huh-"
After a period of violent breathing, the old man finally struggled to get up. His eyes no longer had the indifference they had before, but instead contained a trace of fear.
"What did you see?" Zuo Si asked softly.
"Cold! Despair! Chaos! Darkness! After the body dies, the soul will be dragged into another world by a powerful force. There is nothing there. Tens of thousands of souls gradually forget everything in the nothingness." Grindelwald used
Replied with a trembling voice.
"Besides that? What else?" Zuo Si continued to ask with strong curiosity in his eyes.
Grindelwald lowered his head and thought for a moment, then whispered: "There is... there is also a huge abyss with no bottom! All blank souls who have forgotten everything will eventually fall into it."
"Thank you. This is very valuable first-hand information. Next, I will extend the time of death to one hour. I hope you can bring back more useful information."
After that, Zuo Si completely ignored the other party's resisting eyes, raised his hand and fired another [Finger of Death].
As a result, before Grindelwald could even say his refusal, he fell into death again.
Obviously, "death is the beginning of another great adventure" is all self-deception.
The soul after death in this world has no adventure at all, and there is no so-called greatness, only emptiness and nothingness.
Of course, during the transition between life and death, Zuo Si also noticed that the moment the soul enters the body, the brain will generate very strong electric waves.
If it can be utilized, it may be used to awaken and strengthen psychic abilities.
Just when he was using Grindelwald as an excellent experimental subject to try to figure out the secrets of life and death, far away in the depths of the Albanian forest, the two Voldemorts finally met.
To be precise, the Dark Lord in his youth used the Halloween holiday to sneak out and take the initiative to find his other self.
Right now, the two of them are standing in a bunker looking at each other.
About half a minute later, the young Voldemort took the lead and sneered: "It's so ugly! I never thought that a few decades later, I would look like this sad and pitiful person."
"Hmph! You are still borrowing someone else's body, so you have no right to say this." The adult Voldemort retorted back unceremoniously.
Since neither of them is truly resurrected at the moment, what they said just now is basically a joke.
Of course, as people with strong self-awareness, it was already a very good start when the two Voldemorts met without fighting.
At least they both know that the other needs their help.
After a brief silence, the young Voldemort spoke again: "I have encountered a powerful and difficult opponent and I need your help."
"Oh? This person you are talking about can't be Soth, right?" The adult Voldemort grinned with a very evil smile.
He experienced firsthand how powerful the spells Zuo Si used in battle were.
Especially since the power of the Death Curse is far greater than his own.
So I know very well that when I was young, I was no match at all, and I 100% suffered a big loss.
"So it's true that you were defeated by him last year?"
The young Voldemort was not an easy man either. He directly chose to hurt each other to uncover the scars of the other.
Just like before, the conversation between the two suddenly froze again.
In the end, the adult Voldemort chose to take a step back and responded with a slightly gloomy tone: "Yes, I was defeated at his hands. But it was not a matter of strength, but because I was not resurrected and could only use the body of a stupid servant.
, there is no way to use all your power. If you can help me steal the magic stone, I will help you deal with Soth after my resurrection."
"Why should I trust you? If you break the agreement and kill me first after resurrection?" the young Voldemort questioned.
The adult Voldemort said expressionlessly: "I can't give you any guarantee. Because we all understand that there can only be one Voldemort in this world. But I can give you five years of growth period, and after five years we will go through a
Fight to decide who stays."
The young Voldemort was quite satisfied with this condition and nodded immediately: "Deal! Now, it's time to discuss how to steal the Philosopher's Stone from the British Ministry of Magic."
"Concerning this, I do have a good plan, which is to let those wizard families and dark wizards who are eager for the power of resurrection from the dead open the way for us first." A sinister smile appeared on the adult Voldemort's face.
"It seems that we have come together. On the way here, I have already contacted some dark wizard groups and wizard families, and I am planning to provide them with some help within my ability. But before I do it, I have to think of a way to prepare it for you.
A body."
"As long as the magic power is sufficient, everything else doesn't matter..."
