Mastering Thunder from Hogwarts

"Are the things in Yingnotus Peverell's cemetery with you?" Anduin looked at Grindelwald blankly, "Don't deny it. If I didn't get the exact evidence, I wouldn't. Came to find you."

"Oh, another guy who covets the Deathly Hallows."

Grindelwald sneered, "Yes, I did gain something from Peverell Cemetery, but what if I don't want to hand him over to you?"

"Then are you going to kill me too? Unfortunately, I don't have a wand in my hand now, so you can't get the spoils from me."

The old man glanced at the row of wands in front of him, and then glanced at Anduin as if provoking.

At this time, in Grindelwald's mind, the young man in front of him must have evil intentions towards him, and he was already equated with those madmen who would do anything to achieve their goals.

And he has been tough for hundreds of years, so naturally he will not soften in the face of mere threats, so Grindelwald has even prepared to fight to the death.

However, after Anduin heard Grindelwald's words, he did not reveal his vicious minions as he imagined. The young man still stared at him indifferently.

It wasn't until a while later that Anduin said loudly, "No, I promised Dumbledore that I wouldn't take action against you. I'm just answering your questions candidly, and I hope you can tell me your answers candidly." Just eucalyptus."

"Dumbledore?"

Grindelwald was stunned when he heard this. He did not expect that the other party was related to Dumbledore. He immediately looked at the young man in front of him again, seriously and solemnly.

Calm, elegant, steady, well-dressed, his eyes are full of confidence, but not as arrogant as other young people.

And in his magic perception, the other person's whole body was like a deep pool with no bottom, so dark that it was impossible to find the bottom.

At the same time, not a trace of excess magic power leaked out from the other party. Just by looking at him, Grindelwald almost lost his consciousness.

Only when his perception reaches a certain level, can he peek through the deep pool to see a trace of the opponent's power.

The energy was as sharp and swift as a sword, and as violent and ferocious as thunder. It stung his nerves with just a little contact.

His intuition told him that this young man... was very strong!

And it's not that powerful. After getting to know him deeply, Grindelwald felt that Anduin in front of him was like a terrifying storm that could break out at any time. The energy contained in his body was not even worse than his own. It seemed that the other party did possess the Silver of Destruction. The strength of the spear.

During Grindelwald's brief probing process, Anduin sat beside him as the old god, watching the other person's wandering spirit as nothing.

Anduin's calm performance made Grindelwald value him from the bottom of his heart.

"Slytherin?" After a long period of silence and silent confrontation, Grindelwald was the first to speak.

"It's obvious, isn't it?" Anduin raised the corner of his mouth and whispered.

Grindelwald nodded slightly, then sat upright, folded his hands on the table, and said solemnly, "Then let's meet formally, Gellert Grindelwald, the former leader of the Saints, abandoned by the wizarding world. loser."

"Anduin Wilson." Anduin imitated Grindelwald's sitting posture and also had a serious face, "Founder of Silver Lightning Alchemy Development Company, Wizards International Auror Tactical Training Instructor and Equipment Supplier, currently concurrently serving as Hogwart This is Professor of Tactical Training."

"Is it the famous Yin Shan Trading Company? Even in this deep mountain and old forest, I have heard of Yin Shan's name more than once. It seems that I am indeed old. I didn't expect that I have only been away from the wizard for decades.

Talents like you have never appeared in the world."

Grindelwald shook his head bitterly, and then stared into Anduin's eyes inexplicably, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"Have I not answered this question once?" Anduin pretended to be stupid and answered the question.

"Anduin, may I call you that?"

After seeing Anduin nod, Grindelwald continued, "Anduin, it is very cruel to waste an old man's time. You should know that I am not talking about the Peverell Cemetery."

"To achieve such an achievement at such a young age, one's strength is unbelievable. In order to achieve everything today, one must have put in more sweat and effort than ordinary people."

"Similarly, your vision will not be limited to the present. What I am curious about is... what are your ambitions, ideals, and goals, or what exactly do you want to achieve?"

Grindelwald looked at Anduin with great interest, as if he was admiring a piece of art that was about to be released.

"Is this important?" Anduin clasped his fingers and asked in a low voice.

"Maybe it's important, maybe it's not important." Grindelwald murmured a few words, and then looked at Anduin with bright eyes, "I hope you can satisfy the curiosity of an old man, or you can see this.

A trade, the things in Peverell Cemetery, doesn't mean much to me now, I am willing to use it in exchange for an answer."

Somehow, Grindelwald in front of him became much more energetic after asking this question, as if Anduin's answer could bring him some satisfaction.

"Loser, is this your evaluation of yourself?"

Anduin pondered for a moment, "Acknowledging your own failure, but not thinking that what you did was wrong. Is this the answer you came up with after decades of thinking after imprisoning yourself? It seems that you have no idea what happened back then.

, you still don’t want to give up!”

Grindelwald sighed slightly, "It's not easy to make a person give up his ideals. I seemed wrong, and I seemed right, but in the end I was still wrong."

The old man's words seemed to be playing a riddle, and Anduin could still hear a lot of them.

Deep in Grindelwald's heart, he seemed to believe that the reason why his revolution failed was not because there was something wrong with his ideas, but because the means and measures he used led to setbacks.

Therefore, he thinks that he is wrong but not wrong.

Grindelwald also attributed the collapse of the revolution to those wrong methods. He believed that he was wrong in the end. Perhaps he also knew that the failure of the Saints Society had reached a point where there was no way to recover.

As for whether Grindelwald was right or wrong back then, Anduin was unable to give a final conclusion and was too lazy to comment.

To rule the world and let wizards stand up and take charge is a bit taken for granted.

After Grindelwald discovered that he could not gain the support of all wizards, he wanted to expose the wizarding world to the Muggle world, and then coerced the entire wizarding world into uniting against the Muggles.

This kind of behavior is too dangerous and extreme, and it is inevitable to be opposed by others.

As for using a milder or more extreme method to achieve this goal?

Anduin remains pessimistic.

Especially after learning the historical truth from Nick Flamel, he increasingly felt that this ideal was too naive.

Not to mention those wizards who yearn for peace and are close to Muggles who don't agree, even the group of religious wizards in the Holy See who have always stood on the same side as Muggles will not sit idly by.

Therefore, even if Grindelwald achieved his goal of uniting the entire wizarding world, he would still be blocked by new enemies. He didn't know what he would show when he saw a group of priests holding Gatling standing in front of him.

expression?

The reason why the wizarding world is so united in choosing to stop Grindelwald is probably because it is unwilling to start a new war with the Holy See, which has maintained peace for hundreds of years.

But apart from that, Anduin still saw why the other party was struggling with his answer.

"So what you really want to ask is, can I be the next you, the one who doesn't make mistakes, the one who may be able to realize your ultimate ideal for you?"

Anduin smiled self-deprecatingly, "Sorry, I'm not interested in that kind of illusory goal. I just want to control my own destiny."

"That's it?"

Grindelwald stared at the other party with some disbelief. He firmly believed in the logic that the greater the power, the greater the ambition. Who wouldn't want to take a step closer after mastering huge power?

"That's all." Anduin paused, "I know you may not believe it, but I'm not interested in rights in the traditional sense."

"In other words, compared to your kind of using strong power to change the world in an attempt to improve the situation of wizards."

"I prefer to focus on practical matters. As long as I can improve the quality of life of the wizarding community and allow them to pursue a more convenient and fulfilling lifestyle, I can gather a huge amount of money and influence for me!"

"Money? Influence? What's the use of these things?" Grindelwald was not satisfied with Anduin's answer at that time, or he thought that the other party's structure was too small.

Anduin didn't care about Grindelwald's dissatisfaction and just chuckled, "Haha, influence is sometimes equal to power! And money is the simplest and most direct weapon in the world!"

"When all the wizards in the world cannot do without me for food, clothing, housing and transportation, I will be the true master of the wizarding world! Believe it or not, even if I turn black into white, thousands of people will follow me!"

"But what's the point?" Grindelwald still couldn't understand. "Even if you become the world's largest financial sponsor, the wizarding world will not be able to take that step. Then the wizards will still be able to hide in the corner of the world.

It’s hard to live!”

"But what's the cost of taking that step? It's a war. The population of wizards may be reduced by half. If they fail, they may become like rats on the street and can only hide in darker caves to survive."

"Even if you succeed, I'm afraid you won't have the energy to enjoy the fruits of victory, because you will be afraid of whether the Muggles will come back and whether they will stand up and call the shots again."

"And before that, the first thing you have to face is the opponents in the wizarding community. Maybe a civil war will stop you from moving forward."

"This is also the reason why you gave up on your own initiative. You saw in advance that the wizarding world was severely weakened after the war. In comparison, keeping more wizards alive is a greater benefit!"

"Greater interests..." Grindelwald fell silent for a moment.

Yes, his ideal back then was 'for greater interests', but in the end he discovered that his only failure was the greater interest of the wizarding world.

How ironic!

"Is there no other way out?" After a conversation with Anduin, Grindelwald once again fell into the confusion of the past few decades.

He just wants to fight for a broader living space and a greater voice for wizards.

But no matter how he deduced, he could not find a way to achieve this goal.

When Grindelwald saw Anduin, he originally thought he could find answers from him, or use his own experience to save Anduin from taking some detours.

But the result was exactly the opposite. Not only did the other party have different ideas from him, but they also gave him a head-on blow with facts. It can be said that the appearance of Anduin made Grindelwald more depressed than before.

Seeing Grindelwald's self-doubt, Anduin couldn't bear to explain, "I can't say that your ideal is wrong, but it is indeed a little too hasty."

"In the final analysis, the biggest obstacle currently hindering the development of the wizarding world is actually the population."

"Population?" Grindelwald frowned upon hearing this and looked up at the other party again.

"Yes, the number of wizards is really too small. If we want to go further, the first thing we need to do is to let those wizards find partners and have more children."

"Only when the population increases and they find that there is not enough living space, they will be eager for change and expansion."

"To achieve this, it is impossible to digest it within the wizarding community. Inbreeding will only reduce the survival rate of the heirs. For this, the first thing to do is to intermarry with Muggle wizards, or perhaps directly with Muggles!"

"This..." Grindelwald was a little confused by what Anduin said. He had obviously talked about the future of the wizarding world before, but why did he suddenly change to the population?

But he could realize that Anduin was right, but at the same time Grindelwald suddenly realized something.

"That's right...does it sound familiar to you?" After noticing Grindelwald's expression, Anduin nodded and said, "Wizard International has actually been working hard in this direction!"

"First, the safety of wizards is guaranteed through the Secrecy Act, and wizards of Muggle origin are supported to improve their status in the wizarding world. Then, the barriers between wizards and Muggles are gradually weakened through publicity, and finally the barriers between wizards and wizards are weakened.

The sound of Muggle union."

"But unfortunately, in the eyes of the public, this is wizards hiding from Muggles, and it is a symbol of weakness. Therefore, every time the strategy is halfway through, there are always some extremists who jump out to sing the opposite."

Speaking of this, Anduin glanced at Grindelwald intentionally or unintentionally. In terms of the damage he caused to the environment, this guy was actually no different from Voldemort.

"What?" Grindelwald was extremely shocked when he heard this, "So I have been actually doing a disservice?"

"Don't think that everyone is a fool!" Anduin shook his head helplessly, "There are many long-term strategists in the International Federation of Wizards. Unfortunately, some people only see immediate benefits and stubbornly think that they are right.
