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 toward the open space in the castle's front courtyard overwhelmingly.

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.

Ever 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 and cowardly, and regard being slaves for generations as their own pride. They have never had a straight spine.

When passing 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 Dark Lord Voldemort is the most typical example of this.

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 at Maka's feet was already shrouded in a faint blue light. Winding lines and strange symbols appeared one after another, covering a large area.

The area is reflected 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 doesn't protect against enemies coming from the outside, but is designed to trap the people inside.

After opening this 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, who looked like he had gone through many years of life. The black coat he wore on him looked empty and very wide.

Maka can only see his profile from a distance, but Maka can understand with just one glance that it is the famous dark wizard who dominated the world decades ago and caused turmoil in the entire European magic world - Geller.

Ted 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 flew up with the magic book on her feet, passing through the snow between the two, floating leisurely not far behind Grindelwald. It was probably him who dared to approach this "legendary" so boldly.

The first generation Dark Lord?

"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 left Maka a little confused.

Gellert Greenwald and Albus Dumbledore, two equally talented wizards, have a complicated past. Maka knows a little bit about their friendship, but in fact she doesn’t know much about it.

It's not that detailed.

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. It's not up to you to choose how you want to live?"

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 guy like Del.

He's just a child. He 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

He is such a dabbler, but he is 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, but 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 opponent's ultimate purpose. This time Greenwald came

Being so calm may 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 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.

It’s just a one-time meeting.”

Every word he said seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, making it difficult for people to understand. But looking at him now, no matter what he was talking about, his eyes did not leave the ice coffin in front of him.

In other words, the figure has never left the ice coffin.

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 Europe, using his former cronies to bring chaos to the entire American wizarding world.

It also caused Maka to follow his footsteps and work non-stop.

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 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 more confused than Maka was - what on earth was this Grindelwald doing?

of?

"Gellert Grindelwald! 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 made a move. 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 was not the emotion that should be shown on the face of a terrible dark wizard!

"Tom Riddle," Greenwald looked at him and said, "you don't understand - it's not your fault that you're afraid of death. Your fault is that you're 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 has been distinguished.

Can't get out.

"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, Grindelwald also ignored the furious Voldemort and turned around directly.

"McLean, let me ask you - do you also want to meet your teacher again?" He ignored Maka's question again this time, and his words became more and more incomprehensible.

But just such a strange sentence made both Maka and Voldemort change their expressions.

Dumbledore's body is currently sealed in the ice coffin, which can be seen by everyone. But it is not difficult to find out from Greenwald's meaning that he does not seem to be here to see the body, but to see it.

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 that Grindelwald said these words, all the blood in his body

Black Flame jumped suddenly, and his heart became more and more frightened and uncertain.

As for Maka, naturally there would be no doubts like Voldemort's. 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?" Grindelwald repeated the question.
