Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue

Newmongarde Castle, main entrance hall.

"So, has it been so long?"

Gellert Grindelwald stood in the center of the hall, looked around the ruined scenes around him, and unconsciously the magnificence of the once luxurious scenes and people coming and going unconsciously appeared in his eyes.

In his memory, everything seems to be still forty-six years ago. The Phoenix revolves around the bronze carved chandelier on the roof. The ground is engraved with simple and elegant magic lines. The sunlight is reflected from the floor-to-ceiling windows filled with stained glass. At that time, he liked to stand there and talk to the wizards in the hall.

"It's not the time to sigh in the past, you know, we have been delaying a lot of time."

Elena's voice came from the doorway, interrupting Grindelwald's memory, "How should the door of your castle open? I didn't find the bolt and handle on it. It was locked."

While talking about Elena, she tried to push the door again, and there was no movement, just like a wall of bricks.

The castle gate? By the way, I almost forgot this.

"Newmontgarde Castle is a castle built with magic, and of course the door needs to be opened with magic."

Grindelwald retracted his thoughts, took the gray suitcase to Elena, and shook his head with a smile, "Although there is no wand, but it only takes a few minutes, I can open it, but in between, it may be necessary You help me maintain my magic ... "

"Magic? I understand, don't bother. Your magic is left to heal yourself." Elena nodded and raised her wand, signaling Grindelwald back slightly.

"Wait, you won't be ..." Grindelwald's expression stiffened.

"It's not a big problem, just leave it to me." Elena smiled confidently, her wand pointed forward violently, and said calmly, "BombardaMaxima [Powerful Blast]"

boom!

Accompanied by a loud noise, the closed gate of Newmontgarde Castle blasted open, and the door panels shattered into pieces were thrown up by Juli, and fell into the rubble pile outside the castle.

As mentioned with Grindelwald and Dumbledore, there is no guard outside the entire Newmontgarde castle, and all the protective spells are external, even if the main entrance of the castle is blown up, nothing appears. Magic reaction.

"I suddenly felt that you don't need to learn any unlocking spells." Grindelwald twitched his lips.

"Thank you for the compliment, in fact I think so." Elena narrowed her eyes happily.

Facing the vast Alpine mountains outside Newmontgarde Castle, Elena took a deep breath and turned to reach Gellert Grindelwald, the same complex expression, "Go, let's go. "

Austrian time, AM9: 41.

It was less than eleven hours before Gellert Grindelwald's magic dried up.

——

Larch is the most common in the Alps.

The forest beneath the Newmontgarde Castle is mainly composed of such tall trees, and the thick pine needles cover the ground as if it were a natural carpet of nature, giving Grindelwald and Elena a trek through Reduced a lot of difficulty.

With the passage of time and the decline in altitude, the oxygen concentration in the forest gradually increased, and the temperature gradually began to pick up. Even at a temperature of about 17 degrees or eight degrees, even if you walked for an hour or two in a row, you can barely persist.

"This kind of pine needle is actually edible. It is rich in vitamin C and carotene, which can regulate blood pressure and increase resistance. It is very suitable for adding to the daily diet of the elderly. I used to think when I was in the castle. However, it would be nice if you have time to collect a little. "

After leaving Newmontgarde Castle and entering the original jungle of the forest, Elena was obviously uncomfortable, so that the girl had to turn her head from time to time to say a few words to the old man to relieve her pressure.

"Pine needles? Well, I feel in your mouth that there seems to be nothing left to eat." Grindelwald looked around in a circle of fragrant larch, and smiled recklessly.

After getting along these days, he will no longer be surprised to ask questions such as "Can this food be eaten?" Or "Do you want to eat that thing?"

Grindelwald has no doubt that even if today Elena is left alone in the depths of the isolated primitive jungle, she can easily find a way to survive and find a way out, after all ...

"Bombarda [Blasting Spell]"

Along with Elena's increasingly skilled sound of a spell, a piece of dead wood blocking the direction of the two people's progress broke into two pieces, revealing a passage through which the two could walk.

"Are you sure this is the place? The first Dark Lord."

Elena took a closer look at her left and right. The dual disadvantages of short legs and Luchi made her completely unclear in the direction of the jungle. Even with the trace of the explosion spell as a guide, she still had a hard time distinguishing the southeast and northwest. Before that she had found a reliable elder.

"Don't just put Voldemort's ridiculous title on my head."

Grindelwald raised an eyebrow and said a little unpleasantly, while looking around, took out the extraordinarily abstract "map" of Elena graffiti from her arms and looked closely, "If you draw on the castle If there is nothing wrong with the map, we should have walked a third of the way. "

"Has it been almost a third of the journey? It's much smoother than I expected."

Elena looked up at the sunlight blocked by the woods and turned to glance at the obviously tired Grindelwald. "It looks like we can reach Salzburg a lot earlier. By the way, your magic should be Can it support for about nine hours? Should we take a break first? "

"magic?"

Grindelwald froze for a moment, looked at Elena, who had been soaked in sweat behind her, and thought about it, she replied, "Well, that's right, it can generally support seven to nine hours. Take a break. "

...... If the mana cost does not continue to increase, Grindelwald frowned slightly.

He found that he may have made a mistake in his estimation before. With the passage of time and the consumption of physical strength, the magical consumption that he needs to spend in his body is gradually increasing. Maybe, there is no time left for him at all.

Austrian time, AM12: 09.

Gellert Grindelwald's magic was exhausted, and it was actually less than seven hours.

——

"Hoo ... finally arrived."

Elena pulled the suitcase ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ standing on the side of the asphalt road, looked at the sign on the blue road sign-[Salzburg Salzburg300M], could not help but take a long sigh of relief, Pointing at the signpost, he turned happily and looked at Grindelwald.

"Look, here we are ... what's wrong with you!"

Seeing behind the girl, Grindelwald's magical light on the lower abdomen was almost dim and almost invisible. The old face was somewhat distorted by the pain, and the eyes full of wisdom seemed to be covered with a layer of gray matter.

"Sorry, I may have made a mistake when calculating the magic power ... it was five more hours." Grindelwald looked up and smiled helplessly, "Thank you, but this is not your fault. "

Austrian time, AM 16:34.

Gellert Grindelwald's magic is completely exhausted, but it is still 300 meters away from downtown Salzburg.
