It was an empty hall with a dark red carpet. She didn't know if the strange red was blood or a pattern on the carpet. Judging from the dust on the carpet, no one had been here for a long time.
It was very different from what Anna thought was' heavily guarded '.
A huge statue was placed in the middle of the hall. It looked similar to the statues in the Ministry of Magic's hall. On the top floor were male and female wizards wearing wizard hats. On the bottom floor were house elves, goblins, and centaurs...
The only difference was that there were two Muggles on this floor. They were dressed simply and smiled foolishly. They looked like they had some strange hobbies.
'For the greater good, 'was the sentence engraved on the base of the statue.
"They didn't dismantle this statue." Dumbledore took out his magic wand and operated it on the statue. After a series of clicking sounds, the racist statue turned into a huge cockroach statue. It looked inexplicably suitable for the environment of the hall.
"This is much better." Dumbledore nodded with satisfaction. He waved his hand and a small whirlwind rolled up on the ground. It rolled up most of the dust and made the worn-out curtains look brand new. They were all opened, revealing the floor-to-ceiling windows behind them.
The whole hall instantly became human. It also had a red carpet, red silk ribbon decorations, red balloons, and a little more Gryffindor flavor.
"At least we have a bit of humanitarianism. We can't let others say that we are abusing prisoners," Dumbledore explained, because Anna's gaze was too intense. "Ahem, Miss Bashida's nephew is being held on the top floor here. Now we just need to climb up."
When it came to climbing, Anna was speechless for a moment.
"This is the second legal education activity I've participated in, isn't it, Headmaster Dumbledore?"
Anna recalled the first time she met Professor Dumbledore. After a few words, the two of them went to Azkaban. After a while of climbing, the System urged them to release Sirius.
Would the System suddenly issue a mission to release Gryffindor?
Should I do it or not?
Headmaster Dumbledore was stunned. Legal education activity?
Oh!
"Yes, this is the second legal education event. Observing the miserable state of the first generation Black Devil King in prison can make the little wizards realize the importance of abiding by the law."
"If you want to write a review of the visit, I can ask Professor Snape to post it on the bulletin board in the Slytherin lounge," Dumbledore suggested.
"That's not necessary, Headmaster Dumbledore," Anna refused cruelly. "Ahem, are there any other prisoners here besides Miss Bashida's nephew?"
Anna did not know. She just wanted to shift the topic away from the 'feelings of the visit'. By the way, she and Dumbledore had started to refer to Grindelwald as' Lady Bashida's nephew ', and it was becoming a more simplified version of' Lady's nephew 'or even' nephew '.
"No, this fortress was built by him, and now it's only used to lock him up."
"Then he..." Anna held the stone wall beside her and gasped. "What does he usually eat?" This was a must. As long as one was still human, one had to consider these questions.
Dumbledore thought for a moment and said, "The Wizard Alliance sent a house elf to take care of his three meals a day. She only comes to this prison during mealtimes."
"Look, there's a register here." Dumbledore pointed to a thick booklet hanging on the wall. Anna leaned over to take a look. It was full of the signature of a house elf named Grayley. Every grid had a signature. This elf in charge had been responsible for the food supply of the first generation Black Devil King since the 1940s and had never stopped for so many years!
Anna was a little touched and wiped away her tears.
The two finally came to the top floor. In front of them was an ordinary door that blended in with the darkness. It was difficult to see clearly if one did not have good eyesight. Dumbledore snapped his fingers and the candlesticks on both sides lit up weakly.
"So that door is not so ordinary." With the help of the candlelight, Anna found that the door was painted with dense symbols. These symbols were mentioned in "How to Hide Your Private Stash", so Anna just happened to know what they were.
"Wow..." Anna was a little surprised. Those were ancient Neanderthals. Although she did not know what kind of spell these ancient Neanderthals formed, she knew that it would be very difficult to decipher it...
Dumbledore stepped forward and pointed at one of the symbols with his finger.
"Squeak —" The door opened.
Looking at Anna's shocked expression, Dumbledore smiled and felt a lot more relaxed. "Anna, you know that these are ancient Neanderthals, and you also know that the spells formed by them are very difficult to decipher and have a long lasting effect. This is also why they are used in alchemy. But what you don't know is that ancient Neanderthals are not perfect. The spells formed by them all have a Curse Eye. As long as the Curse Eye is found, no matter how strong the spell is, it can be broken."
"That's why wizards who use Ancient Runic usually try to hide the Cursed Eye," Dumbledore said as he pushed the door open. "It just so happens that I was the one who set the spell on the door. That's why I can find the Cursed Eye so easily."
The door was fully open. Dumbledore swallowed his saliva. He did not know what kind of Grindelwald he would see. Poor?
Pitiful?
Skinny sitting in the corner, driven mad by the endless darkness?
For so many years, no creature was allowed to talk to Grindelwald because they were afraid that they would be bewitched by Grindelwald's silver head.
Dumbledore suddenly did not want to go in.
"Let's go, Headmaster." Anna saw that Dumbledore was wavering. She pulled his robe and looked into his blue eyes for the first time. "My nephew will be very happy to see Miss Bashida's letter, right?
No one has come to visit him for so many years. Maybe he has reflected on himself? "
"Harry still needs him to save him!
And if I can't see my nephew, it's not easy for me to write my 'thoughts on the visit.' "
Dumbledore smiled and touched Anna's head. Finally, he entered the cell.
It was dark and empty. Anna followed Headmaster Dumbledore into the room step by step. It was really dark here. Fortunately, Headmaster Dumbledore quickly cast a spell to light up the room.
An old man was sitting on a bed near the wall. The bed was the only piece of furniture in the whole room.
He did not look particularly down and out. Anna's small head popped out from behind Dumbledore. He was wearing an old-fashioned suit, neatly combed hair, and a pair of leather shoes that were much more exquisite than Mr. Weasley's.
If one ignored the thick iron chain around his neck that was big enough to pull a dragon, then the old man in front of them looked like an old gentleman waiting for someone. He did not look like a prisoner at all.
Anna and Dumbledore were surprised.
"Long time no see, Anna." Grindelwald spoke first. His voice was a little hoarse, but it was obvious that he was happy. He looked at Anna behind Dumbledore. "Nice to meet you, Miss Anna. Please allow me to call you Anna."
Dumbledore pulled Anna back and stared at Grindelwald who was sitting on the bed. "Long time no see, nephew … cough, Grindelwald. It seems that you already knew that we would come here."
"Yes, Abusi. I know that you are here to make a deal with the devil. If you want to get information from the devil, of course, you have to pay a certain price." Grindelwald smiled. "If you want the little devil who peeped at my diary to come out, then you have to pay something."
[Gold Melon Quest — Make a Deal with the Devil: On the other side of the mountain and the sea, there is an old devil. Now you are trying to make a deal with him to save a friend who is in trouble. Hey!
Miss, I have to remind you that when making a deal with the devil, you must not lose your soul. Always be vigilant. Don't be bewitched by him and forget your original intention … If you can fulfill the devil's wish, then the Merlin will know what will happen next.
Condition: Complete the deal with Gellar Grindelwald. Reward: Magic Accuracy + 20, Unknown.]
Magic Accuracy!
Why is the reward of this quest Magic Accuracy?
Anna's eyes widened slightly. It was tempting, but she still wanted to know what Grindelwald wanted.
"What do you want?"
