Harry Potter’s Book of Sin
Chapter 479: The Weird Greenward
The magical salvo of the elves is spectacular.
Just as Maca screamed, hundreds of red streamers shot out from the tops of the towers of Hogwarts Castle, like a rain of fire in the air, coming toward the open space of the castle's vestibule.
It was just this first attack that not only smashed most of the Black Deaths back to the ground, even Voldemort, who was transformed into a black flame, was forced to slow the momentum of his liftoff.
Since the elves have been called "housed elves", they have become the lowest level creatures in the magic world.They are humble, cowardly, and regard generational slavery as their pride, and a backbone has never been straight.
Because of this, even modern wizards have long forgotten the right and wrong of the past, and have never looked down upon them.The contemporary Dark Lord Voldemort is one of the most typical examples.
But even if it is often overlooked, the magical talents of the little elves are still objective.
Taking advantage of the moment Voldemort and a large number of dark dead were suddenly suppressed, the snow under Maca's feet was already shrouded in blue light.The winding lines and the odd-shaped symbols appeared one after another, reflecting the large areas like a blue ocean.
Obviously, he actually painted the rune array directly on the ground under the cover of snow.
Not long after that, as the light burst suddenly, a crystal clear barrier covered the vestibule together with the small half of the castle. It looked like a reduced version of the protective barrier that the professors had put up together. .
It's just that this hemispherical barrier is a "cage" pulled up by a rune array.It does not guard against enemies from outside, but is designed to trap people inside.
After opening this barrier, Maca did not chase the Voldemort who lifted into the sky, but turned to look towards the lakeside.
Dumbledore's ice coffin was also shrouded in the scope of this huge cage, but at this moment, there was a person standing in front of the ice coffin.
He was a skinny and old wizard with white beard and hair, describing the vicissitudes of life, and wearing a black coat on him, looking empty and wide.
From Maca’s side, he can only see his profile face from a distance, but Maca can understand at a glance that it is the famous dark wizard-Geller, who raged decades ago and stirred up the entire European magic world. Greenward.
Several indirect sexual contacts with the last Dark Lord have left a deep impression on Maca's heart, but he has not been able to actually meet each other once.
Today, the fugitive from Newmondgard finally appeared in person.
"Mr. Greenward?"
Maca flew up with his feet on the magic book, passed the snow between the two, and floated leisurely not far behind Greenward.Probably it is him, dare to approach this "legendary" first-generation Dark Lord so boldly, right?
"McLean," Greenward said without looking back, "you know? Albus admires you very much, he thinks you are a real wizard."
This old man's unprovoked sentence made Maca a little baffling.
Gellert Greenward and Albus Dumbledore, two equally talented wizards, have a complicated past.Regarding the friendship between the two of them, Maca knew a little bit about it, but in fact, he didn't know so much about it.
But now it seems that during the years before he was imprisoned in Newmontgard, Dumbledore did occasionally go and chat with him.
"Really?" Maca seemed a little perfunctory about Greenward's words. "Wizards are just a way to kill life. How do you want to live is not up to your own choice?"
But Greenward ignored him. Instead, he said to himself: "...I didn't believe it, especially when I first met you, I thought you were just like Del, just a lucky one. It's a child.
The first time Greenward spoke of it was not the one in Maca's memory of the monastery, but the time he saw Maca destroy the tower of Newmongarde from a distance.
"...But," he paused for a while, then shook his head slightly, "I only found out when I saw you the second time that you are different from that Tom Riddle-you are not He is half-hearted, but a real genius wizard."
"I never thought that someone standing there would be able to follow my practice with the Deathly Hallows mark and in turn track my specific location."
When Maca heard it, his heart jumped.
He was still playing with acting skills at the time, who knew that Greenward would have noticed the traces he was following. No wonder he would leave Joshua's body at a critical moment.
It seems that the acting was in vain and a lot of energy was wasted.
To be honest, Maca didn't take much advantage in the several air confrontations between Greenward.More importantly, he hasn't even figured out the other party's ultimate goal.This time Greenward came so calmly, I am afraid it is difficult to deal with.
"So?" Maca said blankly, looking at his back, "what are you trying to say?"
"Hmph, I know, you are very curious about my actions." Greenward smiled softly in his old voice, "Don't worry, I can tell you plainly-I just want to see Albus It's only once."
Every word he said seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, making people completely unpredictable.But just look at him now, no matter what he was talking about, his sight did not leave the ice coffin in front.
In other words, he never left the figure in the ice coffin.
It seemed to prove his words. He said that he wanted to see Dumbledore. He was just coming to see Dumbledore, without any other thoughts.
However, this is how can Maca believe it?
See you!There is nothing wrong with escaping from prison, but when he leaves Newmontgarde, he does not forget to provoke Maca.After that, he ran all over Europe, using his past confidants to disrupt the entire American magical world, and also caused Maca to follow in his footsteps.
But now, he just ran to Hogwarts alone behind Voldemort, and he didn't even bring one of his men.
All in all, Maca was quite puzzled from start to finish.
It's just that Maca is not the only one who is wondering.Voldemort, who originally flew into the air, fell back to the ground again after discovering that he could not break the barrier.
While Maca ignored him, he went around the castle alone.But although the magic barrier raised by Maca also included a small half of the castle, he found that there was no one in the castle.
Obviously, Professor McGonagall has led people to other areas.
Voldemort, who hadn't gained anything, stood on the other side of the ice coffin at this moment.There are black flames swaying all over him, but in his heart he is more suspicious than Maca is coming-what on earth does Greenward come for?
"Gellert Greenward! Didn't you say you want to help me? Why don't you do it?" Voldemort was impatient to listen to their boring conversation, and suddenly asked coldly.
Under his words, Greenward finally moved.He just raised his head and glanced at Voldemort through the transparent ice coffin, an inexplicable smile flashed across his thin, drowsy face.
The smile seemed to be mocking, but with a touch of pity—yes, pity!That's not the emotion that should be shown on the face of a terrible dark wizard!
"Tom Riddle," Greenward said, looking at him, "you don't understand-fear of death is not your fault, you are at fault, you are not smart enough. As a wizard, you are a loser. ...Just like me back then."
"What are you talking about!" Voldemort said angrily, "I am afraid of death? No! I have defeated death! No one can really kill me, understand!"
As he uttered these words, the black flames all over his body expanded again.If you just look at it with the naked eye, you can only see a huge black flame burning raging, and you can't even tell the human form.
"Mr. Greenward, why should you continue to stimulate him?" Maca didn't even look at the black flame, but stared straight at Greenward's back. "Since you just said, today is just Come and see Professor Dumbledore... Then have you seen enough now?"
When Greenward heard this, he also no longer paid attention to Voldemort in his rage, and turned around directly.
"McLean, I ask you-do you want to see your teacher again?" He ignored Maca's question again this time, and his words became more and more inexplicable.
But it was such a strange word that changed the expressions of Maca and Voldemort.
Right now Dumbledore's body was sealed in the ice coffin, which was visible to anyone.It is not difficult to hear what Greenward meant. He didn't seem to come to see the body, but to see Dumbledore himself!
At this moment, Voldemort was in fear.One of the purposes of this public funeral was to continue to disturb Voldemort's sight, making him even more afraid that Dumbledore was actually playing dead.Now when Greenward said this, the black flames all over his body jumped suddenly, and his heart became more and more uncertain.
As for Maca's side, naturally there would be no doubts like Voldemort's.The reason why he was frightened was that a question that could not be ignored was raised in his heart.
"Do you know where Professor Dumbledore is?" Maca asked this question bluntly without worrying about Voldemort who was there.
When Greenward heard him ask, the wrinkles on his face gradually relaxed.
His expression was weird. It seemed relieved and admired. Although it was completely different from Dumbledore’s appearance, it gave Maca the feeling that it was like seeing another Dumbledore. His heart was suddenly shocked. .
"Do you want to see Albus again?" Greenward repeated the question again.
