The Hogwarts Emerald
Chapter 512 Nurmengard Advanced Class
Chapter 512 Nurmengard Advanced Class
People often use the saying "fish for three days and dry the net for two days" to describe people who lack perseverance in study and work, and to advise lazy people.
Ada spent more than ten days fishing, catching all the unstable factors in Rozier, and then spent nearly a month drying the nets. It was rare to find someone as lazy as Ada.
One day, Ada finally stopped her stagnant steps, left the comfortable and cozy flower garden, and started again.
Ada set out with Sergei, Laura stayed at home to assist Vida, and Daniel was still in charge of business matters.
Neither Vida nor Ada held Daniel accountable for Henry leaking the news about Rose Manor. He himself was unaware that he was being used by Henry and just thought he was chatting with him.
Although neither the grandfather nor the grandson dealt with Daniel's problem, he would never touch the core again. Once something has happened, it is difficult to reverse it.
Although the Rose Manor in Versailles and Nurmengard in Austria are both in Europe, there is a huge difference between the two places. The Rose Manor is peaceful and tranquil with flowers in full bloom, while Nurmengard is built among the mountains, surrounded by mountains covered with snow all year round.
Ada stood alone on the platform in front of the castle, closed her eyes and quietly felt the time passing here.
The castle's walls are mottled, the gate is old, and even the words "everything for the greater good" have been blurred by the erosion of time.
She came here alone, and Sergei stayed in the small village at the foot of the mountain, renting a small house from the simple villagers. She brought Sergei along because Ada needed someone to help her communicate with the outside world, and Sergei could help her collect and organize information, saving a lot of trouble.
Although Sergey has a lot of hair and is big and strong, he is a man who can do embroidery and is a thoughtful person. Although Sergey is thoughtful, he is not the kind of person who likes to eat peaches and cool things down. He is a 24K pure man.
The interior of the castle was pretty much the same as the last time I came here, with dust flying in the sunlight, but it was generally clean.
Grindelwald sat at the head of the long table. When he saw Ada walk in, his cloudy eyes lit up. He finally had the chance to take revenge. The first Dark Lord had waited too long.
Ada pulled out a chair at the end of the long table and sat down. She threw the bag in her hand to Grindelwald, and it landed steadily on the table. Of course, the things inside were prepared by Vida. Ada would not have such good intentions. Grindelwald should be grateful that she took the trouble to bring them here.
"Is this a holiday, or trouble?" Grindelwald asked, unzipping his handbag to check its contents.
"Neither of them." Ida shook her head. "I had a quarrel with that old man Dumbledore, and then I dropped out of Hogwarts."
Grindelwald was stunned. In fact, he had expected that there would be a dispute between Dumbledore and Ada, because the two people looked at things from different perspectives, and their different ideas would inevitably lead to quarrels.
But Grindelwald didn't expect this day to come so early.
Then Ada began to talk about the cause and effect of the quarrel, without even taking off her hat. Ada used her hands and feet, her voice and gestures, and talked about everything from Voldemort's resurrection to Dumbledore being driven away by the Ministry of Magic.
"Tell me, is this his problem?" Ada asked, finally finishing her story.
Grindelwald wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead and said, "Your idea is not wrong, and Albus's idea cannot be said to be wrong..."
Ada, who had just sat down, stood up again. She put her hands on her hips and said loudly, "I'm just speaking out to vent my feelings, not to ask you to smooth things over!"
Grindelwald touched his nose and said, "You should know that I started to work in various countries very early, promoting my doctrine, and eventually triggered the war. But it was not until 1945 that I had the final duel with him."
Seeing Ada put down her hands, he continued, "Although there are other reasons, his character and his past experiences are also very important reasons."
"Do you know what happened to Dumbledore back then?" Ada asked. She smelled something unusual. "No, no, what happened to him back then must have something to do with you!"
"Yes, part of it is related to me, and you can even say that it was caused by me." Grindelwald replied, "We knew each other very early. At that time, he was not the famous Dumbledore, and I was not the Grindelwald who dominated Europe. We were just two teenagers with the same ideas." Ada pointed in the direction of the castle entrance and said, "I heard that line of words..."
"Yes, he did." Grindelwald continued, "If you knew him when he was young, you would have a lot to talk about with him."
Ada sat down slowly, thinking about the unclear relationship between Dumbledore and Grindelwald. She found it hard to imagine what the world would be like if Dumbledore and Grindelwald joined forces!
"Can't think of it?" Grindelwald asked, "It doesn't matter. You just need to remember one thing. Dumbledore's enemy has never been me, nor has it ever been Voldemort. His enemy is always himself, the dark side deep in his heart."
"Because something happened between you two, it caused the dark side deep in his heart?" Ada murmured, "This dark side magnified his fear, making him hesitant, indecisive, and even overly kind?"
Grindelwald closed his eyes and thought for a while, then opened his eyes and said, "It's not entirely true, but you can say that. The influence of his original family and my appearance are the reasons why he is like this now."
"Everyone has weaknesses, Ada. The key is whether you choose to cowardly escape or bravely face them." Grindelwald said proudly, "In this regard, I am ten thousand times better than him."
Gold is not pure, and no one is perfect. Everyone has flaws, just like an apple bitten by God. Some people have bigger flaws, just because God particularly likes their fragrance.
Ada put her feet on the long table and crossed them together. Because it was cold in the mountains, she was wearing pants today.
"Why do I feel like you are making excuses for him and speaking well of him?" Ada knew that Grindelwald was right, but her gossipy heart was burning. She really wanted to know what happened between the two of them back then.
"You know, you look like a stupid gossip right now." Grindelwald said contemptuously. If you want to trick the first Dark Lord into saying something, go back and practice for a few more years!
"Don't you know that curiosity is everyone's nature? It is precisely because of curiosity that humans will not stop moving forward." Ada said, "As for me, I am just more curious than ordinary people."
Suddenly thinking of something, Ada put her feet down and asked in a very respectful manner: "Do you know about Horcruxes?"
"I know a little." Grindelwald said, "I was once obsessed with defeating death, but I have no interest in things like Horcruxes. I chose another way."
To make a Horcrux, one needs to split one's soul. Whether splitting the soul will bring great pain and what consequences it will cause, only those who have made a Horcrux know.
But think about it, if you split up a healthy, complete soul, there will definitely be some bad effects, such as damaging the brain. This is the price of immortality, just like Nicolas Flamel's Philosopher's Stone, his immortality also has a price.
"So what method did you choose?" Ada asked.
Grindelwald said, "You may not be familiar with the Deathly Hallows. I will call it by another name and you will know it. You should know the story of the three Peverell brothers."
That is a story from "The Tales of Beedle the Bard", a story about the three Peverell brothers and the god of death.
Grindelwald stretched out his hand and drew a triangle in the air, then drew a circle in the triangle, and finally drew a straight line.
As he drew, he said, "The triangle represents Ignotus's invisibility cloak; the circle represents Cadmus's resurrection stone; and the final vertical line represents the Elder Wand obtained by Antiochus. These three combined are the Deathly Hallows."
"Back then, I went to Godric's Hollow in search of the Deathly Hallows. Legend has it that Ignotus was buried there, and his descendants also live there," said Grindelwald.
"You didn't find it."
"No, I didn't find it," said Grindelwald, "but I met Albus Dumbledore there."
