Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 554 Zhou Hong's Warning

"what!"

As Mike shouted, a strange purple light flashed on the elderberry wand in his hand.

And then, the cursed flames around Mike, with the blessing of the elderberry wand, pressed towards the darkness in front of Mike with the force of thunder!
Seeing this, the bitterness in Grindelwald's smile became even more intense.

Although this Mike Tonley had just been promoted to Legend not long ago, his awakened ability was really too tricky. Coupled with the blessing of the elderberry wand, the opponent's strength seemed a little outrageous.

If he still retained the fighting power of his prime, he could resolve this kind of battle with just a wave of his hand, but now, if he didn't run, he would probably be left here forever.

And now he finally understood that the reason why Dumbledore advised him not to cause trouble for McTominay was not because he was afraid that he would kill Dumbledore's own successor, but because he was afraid that he would die at McTominay's hands.

But even though he had a bitter smile, Grindelwald did not feel a single bit of regret in his heart, nor did he have the slightest thought of escaping.

Like he said before, he is Grindelwald!
The most powerful dark wizard in modern times!

Today either I die or the other person dies!

There is no second possibility!
Thinking of this, Grindelwald's eyes became firm again, and the strange black substance around him, like mud, seemed to have sensed its master's thoughts and began to boil.

It’s a pity that in the face of absolute strength, no matter how strong the fighting will is, it will be of no avail.

Mike's cursed flame was so strong after being blessed by the elder wand that Grindelwald's explosion only slightly slowed down the speed at which the black mud was burned by the flames, and did not change anything at all.

Finally, as the last mass of black sludge was slowly burned out, all that remained in this world was the beautiful cursed fire that was between illusion and reality.

In the flames, Grindelwald was still making his final resistance.

Large streams of black mist continuously spewed out of its mouth, lingering around it to protect it from the erosion of flames.

But this is just futile.

"Expelliarmus."

A red light flashed by and easily pierced through the black mist shield, knocking the wand in Grindelwald's hand away. It fell into the flames and instantly turned into a ball of ash.

Without his wand, Grindelwald also lost his last capital. The cursed fire burned up the black fog in the blink of an eye and enveloped Grindelwald's entire body.

But in the next moment, all the flames disappeared, revealing the flat ground buried under the flames, which had long been burned into crystal by the flames.

Looking at Grindelwald, whose body was charred and still twitching in the distance, Mike breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't know how to leave this secret realm. What if the other party wanted to die with him and set up an anti-Apparition spell in this secret realm, he would be doomed.

So Grindelwald cannot die, and if he has to die, he has to wait until he finishes the interrogation.

Thinking of this, Mike walked slowly towards Grindelwald with his wand in hand.

The tough soles of the leather shoes made a creaking sound as they stepped on the crystals that were still hot and emitting colorful light.

This sound also attracted the attention of Grindelwald, who was struggling and twitching.

He raised his head with difficulty, and saw a pair of dark black shoes with some glass fragments on the bottom appeared in front of him.

Almost instinctively, Grindelwald opened his mouth and bit the calves.

"Oh!"

There was a dull sound of flesh hitting flesh.

Mike frowned and looked at Grindelwald, who was kicked several meters away by him but was still struggling to crawl towards him, and said:

"Why are you doing this? Wouldn't it be better to hand over the key to the secret realm and greet death cheerfully? I didn't mean to humiliate you."

Grindelwald didn't reply, but continued to crawl towards Mike with a ferocious expression.

Seeing this, Mike sighed, hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"I will bury you next to Dumbledore."

As soon as these words came out, the air around them stagnated. Grindelwald stared at Mike blankly until Mike nodded at him again. Then he laughed, pointed to the pocket of seamless stretching spell on his waist, then lay on his back on the ground and gave up resisting.

"Avada Kedavra."

The green light slowly wrapped around Grindelwald's body.

This was Mike's final respect for him - giving him a death that was exactly the same as Dumbledore's.

When Grindelwald was completely dead, Mike stepped forward and picked up the Seamless Stretch Pocket.

There wasn't much in his pocket, just a German flint lighter, some broken junk and a black gem.

There wasn't even a change of clothes in it, which shows how anxious Grindelwald was when he set out.

The lighter was obviously the key to the secret realm, and the black gem was the resurrection stone.

This discovery made Mike frown.

You know, the Resurrection Stone has always been kept in Dumbledore's hands.

So did Dumbledore give it to Grindelwald, or did Grindelwald steal it because he missed Dumbledore too much?

If it is the latter, it is easier to say, but if it is the former.

Then Dumbledore's meaning was clear.

He doesn't want the Resurrection Stone to fall into the hands of others, but it can also be understood that he doesn't want others, especially Michael, to collect the Deathly Hallows.

After all, it is easy for Mike to collect the Three Deathly Hallows now.

With deep doubts, Mike held Grindelwald's body and tapped the lighter in his hand.

There was a flash of flame on the lighter, and the light around suddenly dimmed. By the time Mike reacted, he had returned to Dumbledore's tombstone.

Looking at the Resurrection Stone in his hand, Mike finally shook his head and put it away.

He is a man of his word. The matter of the Resurrection Stone can be brought up later, but Grindelwald's funeral arrangements cannot be neglected.

He just gently waved the elder wand in his hand, and an open space next to Dumbledore's grave suddenly shook.

Large chunks of soil and rock were dug out by an invisible giant hand, and were repeatedly kneaded, decomposed, and reassembled in the air, before finally being turned into pieces of pitch-black marble and piled up nearby.

Only then did Mike officially begin building the tomb.

However, he obviously did not have any talent in architecture. Even though there was a ready-made model for reference nearby, it still took Mike several hours to bury Grindelwald.

Moreover, this is even though Michael followed Grindelwald's wishes and did not erect a tombstone for him.

Fortunately, Mike finally finished the work.

At this time, the sky was already turning pale, and a bright but not dazzling ray of sunlight was cast down, illuminating the two tombs, one black and one white.

Mike stood in front of the two graves with an expressionless face, and after a long time he bowed deeply.

He bent his waist very low and bowed for a very long time, so when he stood up again, his blood circulation was blocked and his vision suddenly went dark.

Mike quickly steadied himself, but when he looked towards the grave, he was suddenly stunned. Perhaps due to the disorder of Qi and blood, Mike had hallucinations. He actually saw two tall and handsome boys, walking side by side, talking and laughing, facing the golden sunlight, slowly walking towards the rising sun.

Their laughter could still be heard faintly in the air.

……

"Mike! Are you in any danger?"

Inside the Masonic secret realm, Penelope was looking at Mike anxiously, while her hands were constantly moving around Mike's body, checking his physical condition.

Mike, on the other hand, had a look of helplessness on his face.

Penelope was too perceptive. Even though she had tidied herself up before coming back, she still found traces of fighting on her body.

If I think about it carefully, it seems that my wife in my previous life was the same.

So, this is a natural ability of women?

Shaking his head, Mike said helplessly:

"I'm not hurt."

"Then how did you get the marks on your clothes?"

"I met an old man on the road and I had a fight with him and that's how it turned out."

Upon hearing this, Penelope turned her head sharply and looked at Zhou Hong who was watching the show on the side. The latter trembled violently when he saw this, and then nodded quickly.

Seeing this, Penelope was relieved and rolled her eyes at Mike and said:

"You must not do those dangerous things again. I don't want to lose you."

Mike found it a little funny. Zhou Hong couldn't see through his thoughts before he became a legend. Now that he is a legend, Penelope is still relying on Zhou Hong to tell whether he is lying or not.

But if you think about it carefully, Penelope is not that stupid. She did that just to give both sides a way out.

Thinking of this, Mike was somewhat moved. He hugged Penelope and kissed her, then he said seriously:
"I promise you, you won't lose me."

"Ok!"

Penelope responded softly, then her body softened in Mike's arms, looking at him with a flushed face.

Zhou Hong, who was standing by, was watching with great interest when suddenly a pair of large hands covered his eyes from behind, and at the same time, Victor's voice rang out.

"Children will get stye if they see this kind of thing."

"Let me go!"

Zhou Hong roared angrily, and a pair of purple-red wings of light suddenly rose from behind him, helping him escape from Victor's clutches.

Unfortunately, when he looked towards Mike again, he found that the two of them had already tidied their clothes and were looking at him helplessly.

"Tsk!"

Zhou Hong smacked his lips, gritted his teeth with some dissatisfaction and glared at Victor who was ruining his plans.

But the latter ignored him. At this moment, Victor was looking at Mike expectantly, rubbing his hands and saying flatteringly:

"Boss, hey, did you bring back that... that thing when you went to Hogwarts this time?"

Looking at Victor and Zhou Hong in front of him with a smug look on their faces, Mike couldn't help but feel angry.

The boss is here and getting ready to do his job, how come the two employees are so clueless?
Shaking his head in dissatisfaction, Mike threw the resurrection stone out and said:

"Get out of here now after taking the things! Zhou Hong, what are you laughing at? Get out of here too!"

Zhou Hong, who had a gloating smile on his face, immediately stopped smiling, but did not leave as he was told. Instead, he looked at Victor curiously.

As for Victor, he took the Resurrection Stone in his hand in a hurry, wiped it with his sleeve first, and only after he saw the symbol of the Three Deathly Hallows on it clearly did he hold it in his hand and turned it twice with shining eyes.

"call!"

A cloud of light gray smoke suddenly rose from the Resurrection Stone and slowly gathered in mid-air to form a human figure.

The figure gradually solidified and finally turned into a girl with two fangs.

The moment he saw the girl, a trace of sadness suddenly flashed across Victor's eyes, but then he returned to his previous mean look and said flatteringly:
"thank you boss!"

After saying that, Victor turned and ran.

But halfway through the run, he turned back and stretched out his hand with an expectant look on his face.

"What's one more thing?"

Mike curled his lips and said unhappily:
"talk about it later!"

"Okay! Thank you for your hard work, boss! You go ahead and get busy!"

After saying that, Victor finally left.

Mike breathed a sigh of relief, but when he was about to continue his "work", he saw that Zhou Hong had not left yet, and his face was pale, his eyeballs bulged out, and he looked surprised.

He couldn't help but frown and asked:

"Zhou Hong, what's wrong with you?"

"What you just gave him was...the Deathly Hallows?"

Zhou Hong looked horrified and spoke incoherently.

"Yes, what's the problem?"

"No! Absolutely not!" Zhou Hong screamed, "Mike, you must not let Victor continue his research, and you must not collect all the Deathly Hallows!"

Mike and Penelope looked at each other, both of them had confusion on their faces.

They had never seen Zhou Hong so excited before.

Suddenly, Mike thought of a possibility.

Perhaps Zhou Hong also saw the flash of sadness on Victor's face before, and was worried that Victor was just using Mike in order to see or resurrect someone he cared about, so he was so anxious.

Thinking of this, Mike smiled and said comfortingly:
"I understand what you mean. Don't worry. Victor..."

"No! You don't understand at all!" Zhou Hong interrupted Mike and roared hysterically, "Absolutely! We must not let the Three Hallows of Death gather together! Otherwise, something very bad will happen! Ancient Gods! The Ancient Gods will...will..."

Halfway through his speech, Zhou Hong's body suddenly began to tremble violently, his mouth kept opening and closing, but he could not say anything.

It was as if there was a mysterious force preventing him from telling the truth!
Seeing this, Mike finally became serious. He squinted his eyes and slowly walked to Zhou Hong's side, patted him on the back and said:

"Take your time, tell me carefully, what is that ancient god?"
