The elves' magical volleys are spectacular.
At the same time as Maka shouted, hundreds of red streams of light were ejected from the tops of the towers of Hogwarts Castle, like a rain of fire in the air, heading towards the open space in the castle's front courtyard overwhelmingly.
Just this first attack not only knocked most of the Black Death disciples back to the ground, but even Voldemort, who had transformed into black flames, was forced to slow down his rise into the air.
Since the race of elves was called "house elves", they have become a group of lowest-level creatures in the magical world. They are humble, cowardly, and regard being slaves for generations as their own pride. Their spines have never been straight.
Because of this, even modern wizards have long forgotten the rights and wrongs of the past, and have never looked down upon them. The current contemporary Dark Lord Voldemort is one of the most typical examples.
But even though it is often overlooked, the magical talent of the elves is an objective fact after all.
At the moment when Voldemort and a large number of Black Death disciples were suddenly suppressed, the snow under Maka's feet was already shrouded in a faint blue light. Winding lines and strange symbols appeared one after another, reflecting the large area like a blue ocean.
Obviously, he used the cover of snow to carve the rune pattern directly on the ground.
Not long after, as the light suddenly swelled, a crystal clear barrier covered the vestibule and half of the castle together. It looked like a smaller version of the protective barrier that the professors had worked together to support. .
It's just that this hemispherical barrier is a "cage" pulled up by an array of runes. It is not designed to protect against enemies from outside, but is designed to trap those inside.
After opening the barrier, Maka did not chase the rising Voldemort, but turned to look towards the lakeside.
Dumbledore's ice coffin was also shrouded within the confines 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, and a vicissitudes of life. The black coat on him looked empty and extremely wide.
Maka could only see his side face from a distance, but Maka could understand with just one glance that it was Gellert, the famous dark wizard who dominated the world decades ago and caused turmoil in the entire European magic world. ·Greenwald.
Several indirect sexual encounters with the previous Dark Lord left a deep impression on Maka, but he was never able to have a real face-to-face encounter with him.
Today, the fugitive from Nurmengard finally showed up in person.
"Mr. Greenwald?"
Maka stepped on the magic book and flew up, passing through the snow between the two, floating leisurely not far behind Grindelwald. Maybe he was the one who dared to approach the "legendary" first-generation Dark Lord so boldly, right
"McLean," Grindelwald said without turning his head, "you know? Albus admires you very much. He thinks you are a real wizard."
The old man's unreasonable words made Maka a little confused.
Gellert Greenwald and Albus Dumbledore, two equally talented wizards, have a complicated past. Maka knew a little bit about their friendship, but in fact she didn't know that much in detail.
But now it seems that during the years when he was imprisoned in Nurmengard, Dumbledore did occasionally go and chat with him.
"Really?" Regarding Greenwald's words, Maka seemed a little perfunctory, "Wizards are just a way to spend their lives. How you want to live depends on your own choice?"
But Greenwald ignored him, and instead said to himself: "...I didn't believe it at first, especially when I first met you, I thought you were just a lucky child like Nerdel. That's all. Sora has the power to approach 'reality', but he only knows how to use it as a toy."
The first time Greenwald mentioned was not the time in Macca's memory of the monastery, but the time when he saw Macca destroy the Nurmengard Tower in one fell swoop.
"...But," he paused for a moment, then shook his head slightly, "only when I saw you for the second time did I realize that you are different from that Tom Riddle - you are not like him. A dabbler, but a truly genius wizard."
"I never thought that someone could follow my practice with the Mark of the Deathly Hallows and track my specific location just by standing there."
When Maka heard this, her heart skipped a beat.
He was still showing off his acting skills at that time. Who would have thought that Greenwald would notice the traces of his tracking? No wonder he would leave Joshua's body at the critical moment.
It seems that the acting was in vain and a lot of energy was wasted.
To be honest, Maka didn't take much advantage in Greenwald's several airborne confrontations. More importantly, he didn't even understand the other party's ultimate purpose. Greenwald came so calmly this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with.
"So?" Maka looked at his back and said expressionlessly, "What exactly do you want to say?"
"Humph, I know, you are very curious about my actions." Grindelwald chuckled softly in his old voice, "Don't worry, I can tell you clearly - I just want to see Albus again. Just face.”
Every word he said seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, making it difficult for people to understand. But look at him now, no matter what he is talking about, his eyes have not left the ice coffin in front of him.
In other words, the figure in the ice coffin has never left.
This seemed to prove what he said. When he said he wanted to see Dumbledore, he just came to see Dumbledore and had no other thoughts.
However, how can Maka believe this
See you soon! There is nothing wrong with escaping from prison, but when leaving Nurmengard, he did not forget to provoke Maka. After that, he ran around all over Europe, single-handedly disrupting the entire American wizarding world with his former cronies, and even made Maka keep busy following his footsteps.
But now, he was just the first person to follow Voldemort to Hogwarts, and he didn't even bring any of his subordinates with him.
All in all, Maka was quite puzzled from beginning to end.
However, Maka is not the only one who is confused at the moment. Voldemort, who originally flew into the air, fell back to the ground again after discovering that he could not break through the barrier.
While Maka ignored him, he went to walk around the castle alone. But although the magic barrier raised by Maka also covered a small half of the castle, he found that there was no one in the castle.
Obviously, Professor McGonagall has led everyone to other areas.
Voldemort, who had gained nothing, was now standing on the other side of the ice coffin. His whole body was covered with swaying black flames, but in his heart he was even more confused than Maka was - what on earth is this Grindelwald doing
"Gellert Grinwald! Didn't you say you wanted to help me? Why didn't you do it?" Voldemort didn't have the patience to listen to their boring conversation, and suddenly asked coldly.
After his words, Greenwald finally took action. He just raised his head and glanced at Voldemort through the transparent ice coffin, an indescribable smile flashed across his thin and waning face.
That smile seemed to be mocking, but it also contained a touch of pity—yes, pity! That's not the emotion that should be shown on the face of a terrifying dark wizard!
"Tom Riddle," Greenwald looked at him and said, "You don't understand - it's not your fault that you are afraid of death. Your fault is that you are not smart enough. As a wizard, you are a failure... Just like I did back then.”
"What are you talking about!" Voldemort said angrily, "Am I afraid of death? No! I have defeated death! No one can really kill me, understand!"
As soon as he said these words, the black flames all over his body expanded again. If you look at it with the naked eye, you can only see a huge black flame burning blazingly, and even the human form can no longer be distinguished.
"Mr. Greenwald, why do you continue to stimulate him?" Maka didn't even look at the black flame, but stared straight at Greenwald's back and said, "Since you just said, today is just Come and meet Professor Dumbledore... Have you seen enough now?"
Upon hearing this, Greenwald also ignored the furious Voldemort and turned around directly.
"McLean, let me ask you - do you also want to meet your teacher again?" This time he directly ignored Maka's question, and his words became more and more incomprehensible.
But just such a strange sentence made both Maka and Voldemort change their expressions.
At present, Dumbledore's body is sealed in the ice coffin, which can be seen by everyone. But it is not difficult to find out what Greenwald means. He does not seem to be here to see the body, but to see Dumbledore himself!
At this moment, Voldemort was on tenterhooks. One of the purposes of this public funeral was to continue to confuse Voldemort and make him even more afraid that Dumbledore was actually pretending to be dead. Now when Greenwald said these words, the black flames all over his body jumped suddenly, and he became more and more confused.
As for Maka, naturally there will be no doubts like Voldemort. The reason why he was frightened was because a question arose in his heart that could not be ignored.
"Do you know where Professor Dumbledore is?" Maka asked the question directly without worrying about Voldemort who was present.
When Greenwald heard him asking this, the wrinkles on his face gradually relaxed.
His expression was very strange, as if he was pleased and appreciative. Although his appearance was completely different from that of Dumbledore, Maka felt as if she had seen another Dumbledore, and she felt a sense of astonishment in her heart. .
"Do you also want to meet Albus again?" Greenwald repeated the question.
