Chapter 79
Dumbledore picked up the hot milk tea and took a sip, he loved the rich caramel flavor in it.
"Didn't you say before, Tom is a coward!"
"He can't beat me head-on, so of course he will think about how to escape every day, so whether it is himself or his Death Eaters, they are first-class masters in escape, and there are too many people under his command, and I am also a little lacking!"
"Dolea, I don't want this sweet and greasy drink, give me a bottle of beer!"
Grindelwald took a sip of milk tea and immediately looked disgusted, and then asked Shane for a bottle of beer, which he poured violently, and then took a large bite of pork knuckle, so uncomfortable.
"By the way, Mr. Grindelwald, I want to ask you something!" Shane suddenly asked after taking a sip of milk tea, "Do you remember Xenofliuslovgood?"
"Xenophilius?!I remember him, one of my children!" Grindelwald replied, "you know him, why did you mention him again?"
"Actually, it's nothing, just curiosity!" said Shane, "Mr. Xenophilius is the father of a friend of mine, and when I met him before, he used to say that some of your former saints are still secretly planning something, do you know what's going on?"
"Two-six-three, you say?!" Grindelwald put down his beer bottle, "They are not my saints, and perhaps some of them have followed me, but the name of a saint is not something that can be obtained at random!"
"Those people are doing something unnoticeable in the dark under my banner, and I have personally eliminated some people back then, but it is inevitable that there will still be some fish that slip through the net. "
"Isn't it anyone's business?" Shane looked curious, "What's that?"
"It's the guy who has been with the Department of Mystic Affairs of the Ministry of Magic, but the silent people of the Department of Mystic Affairs at least know how to restrain themselves, and they still have a little humanity, but those guys who use my banner have no humanity at all!"
"Can you tell me more about that?"
"Okay, being idle is also idle, just think it's been a long time since I've been in it for so many years, and I can have a second person to talk to......"
So, Grindelwald began to tell some of his stories......
At the beginning of the 20th century, Grindelwald and Dumbledore hit it off with a plan to find the legendary Deathly Hallows, and in doing so, they wanted to lead a revolution in the wizarding world, overthrowing the International Secrecy Act and establishing a new world order ruled by wizards and Muggles.
It's just that later, Dumbledore and Grindelwald suddenly intensified and fought on a rainy night, so from then on, the two began a half-century confrontation.
Around 1926, Grindelwald, who had been dormant for many years, began to launch terrorist attacks against the Witch Saints in many parts of Europe, with the aim of exposing the power of the wizarding world to the world and instilling fear among Muggles.
"I am a born prophet, and I have met Muggles who have no magical powers, and how mortal beings destroy living beings through their own arrogance, cruelty, and selfishness. It's called a nuclear bomb, and just one can easily destroy a city and slaughter hundreds of thousands of people in an instant!"
"Hundreds of years ago, Muggles with cold weapons were able to wipe out wizards almost entirely, and we were forced to hide in corners and live carefully, not daring to expose ourselves!
"So, I don't want to sit still! Muggle technology has developed to the point where it can destroy the world, and wizards, as aliens in the human race, will inevitably suffer unimaginable reckoning once exposed, I want to take advantage of the power of wizards to build a world ruled by wizards, protect our compatriots, and let all of us no longer live in the shadows!"
Grindelwald said this without any fluctuation in his tone, as if it were all taken for granted.
In fact, if you look at it from another angle, everything Grindelwald did back then had great justice for the entire wizarding community, so it is no wonder that so many people followed him back then, because his slogan was not the so-called rule from top to end, but protection!
At this height alone, Voldemort can't compare!
However, for Shane, who was born as a flower grower, he clearly saw the shortcomings of Grindelwald's revolution.
That is, this revolution of his was achieved by a terrible means.
In the history of the flower planter, anyone who uses this kind of extreme terror and violence means, even if the people in power achieve their desired goals, will inevitably usher in a greater backlash later, which is similar to Zhu Yuanzhang's crazy killing and greed in the Ming Dynasty, but later the Ming Dynasty died of corruption.
So, I listened to Shane say directly: "The starting point is good, but your revolution will definitely fail in the end, unless you can kill all the Muggles! Otherwise, in the near future, Muggles will definitely find a way to counter magic under pressure, and then the witch extermination will come again! In other words, your so-called protection is actually pushing all wizards into the sea of swords and fire!"
"Yes, you're right! But I had a dream at the time! I dreamed that I had become the master of the wizarding world! I also dreamed that three legendary relics: the Elder Wand, the Cloak of Invisibility, and the Resurrection Stone, if they were combined, would have the owner of the Grim Reaper......! This is a prophecy!"
"Are you trying to use the power of the Deathly Hallows to achieve your ends?"
"Yes, but in fact I misunderstood, because the Deathly Hallows was originally given by the Grim Reaper to the three Peverel brothers, and the person in the dream held the Sacred Weapon high above the ground and looked down at the Grim Reaper, but this does not mean that he became the master of the Grim Reaper, the invisibility cloak on his body allowed him to avoid the prying eyes of the Grim Reaper, and he was arrogant and he was just complacent, but he forgot about immortality
It's also a terrible curse!" (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"Actually, I figured these things out later, so even without this annoying guy, I would have failed!
Grindelwald said, pointing to Dumbledore, who was covered with sugar on his beard.
"But does that have anything to do with the people you just said were doing things that don't necessarily work?" asked Shane, confused.
"In the gap between wizards and Muggles, there lives a kind of people, people who are well aware of the power of magic, but who can't use it!" Grindelwald said suddenly ambiguously.
"Squib?!" Shane instantly knew what the other party was referring to. []
Squib: A person in the Harry Potter universe who comes from a wizarding family (at least one parent is a wizard) but does not know how to use magic.
Squibs can never enter a magic school as a student, they know magic, but they have little chance of getting involved.
As a result, Squibs usually maintain a bad and hateful attitude towards wizards who are able to use magic normally, and most of them spend their lives in poverty and poverty.......
Back then, Grindelwald once took in a group of Squibs for various reasons to replenish his strength......
"Almost all of these Squibs I took in back then were from those ancient pure-blood families, they were not welcomed, but they had amazing wealth and unexpected influence!" Grindelwald said slowly, "But the madness of these people is far beyond my imagination!"
In fact, Squibs are not 100% incapable of using magic.
Some of them were trained to use magic that made leaves float or move sugar cubes, and this led to a crash course for Squibs called "Quick Spell Recitation", which Filch, the Hogwarts school administrator, attended.
So, the Squib retains a negligible glimmer of hope that it can use magic!
At that time, the symbol of the saint was a rune composed of three deathly hallows weapons, and Grindelwald pursued the power of the holy weapon to rule the world, and of course it also magnified the hopes of these Squibs from pure-blood families to obtain normal use of magical power.
In 1938, Grindelwald led the Saints in an all-out open war against the wizarding world, and the global wizarding war broke out, resulting in a large number of casualties and disappearances, and by 1945, Grindelwald's power was almost "unstoppable".
"At that time, my power had reached its peak, and the result of my continuous victories was that everyone's desires were extremely inflated, and arrogance and madness were constantly spreading! And those squibs had also become bloodthirsty monsters that had lost their humanity!" Grindelwald's gaze gradually became cold, and some past events began to appear in his mind.
"Monsters?" said Shane, his eyebrows lowered, lost in thought.
Hearing now, he probably guessed what those Squibs had done, because in the past, there was such a group of people who annihilated humanity in Aslante, and he was also angry and launched a massacre against them for half a year, and tens of thousands of people died at his hands.
"At the bottom of the cliffs of the prison behind us, there are thousands of bones buried, including 3.4 wizards captured in battle, and many squibs who have been secretly captured!
"So, those Squibs you've taken in are doing some extremely cruel experiments...... Shane muttered.
"Those guys are out there under my banner, attracting many civilian Squibs and wizards to Newmengard, and then secretly imprisoning them in prisons for various reasons to do magical experiments!
"The prison under the tower was supposed to have only three floors, but they secretly opened a fourth floor without me, can you imagine what it was like when I found this prison? The whole prison was black and red, the blood had completely soaked the stone bricks, and the rotting human flesh was caught in the cracks in the stones, gnawed by some unknown insects. "
"To be honest, although I am a ruthless and unscrupulous person, I at least have a bottom line! But those guys, they are a kind of existence that represents the pure evil of human beings!"
