“Uh…are you sure, Principal?”
In the principal’s office of Noblic University, Avada, who uses the identity of Crewe Imprey, is looking at the principal Miranda Gorshak sitting opposite with a puzzled face: “The next action is really… You don’t need me to participate anymore?”
“Although I really don’t mind having less work for myself and living a more relaxed life… But now should be the time when the university needs manpower the most, right? The shielding devices have been distributed, and the werewolf’s hidden strongholds have also been found. It’s just that Action is just one order away; the research on improving the Wolfsbane potion has entered a critical stage, and as social conflicts are detonated, there will definitely be a certain degree of turmoil in Azkaban, which means it is the best time to sneak in there. It’s almost there…”
“Besides, my cooperation with Professor Belby and Professor Baker before this was quite smooth. I shouldn’t have done anything that would make me untrustworthy… right?”
He couldn’t help but be confused – after all, anyone was called to the principal’s office late at night without any warning, and the first thing he heard was to tell him that he did not need to participate in any important actions in the future, and the other party said that this His expression was serious when he spoke… Who wouldn’t be confused?
He didn’t commit anything?
Over the past few weeks, Avada’s reputation and life have gradually gotten back on track. Although the classes he taught were not widely popular among students, they also won a lot of praise, which was a good start for a new professor; and the cooperation with Professor Baker and Professor Belby was unexpected. It went smoothly – it only took them two days to complete the shielding device, and the cost and production difficulty were even lower than initially imagined. This made his reputation in the professor circle increasingly higher…
“It’s not your problem.”
Principal Miranda Gorshak finally answered his question: “You have more important things to do.”
“Something more important?”
Avada was even more confused – he had just joined the job less than two weeks ago, how could He De do anything more important than the above? ?
And in today’s British wizarding society, is there anything more urgent and important than dealing with the current werewolf crisis?
“You have to go to Nurmengard.”
Miranda Gorshak nodded seriously: “Gellert Grindelwald wants to see you.”
“Grindelwald wants to see me?!”
Avada was startled.
“That’s right – you should know, right, that Grindelwald is the honorary vice-president of our university?”
“I know, I know, but…”
He muttered for a long time but couldn’t find any words to describe his current mood – he once disturbed the entire magical world, provoked World War II, almost broke the “Secrecy Act”, and completely To change the structure of the two worlds, Dumbledore’s close friend and mortal enemy…the legendary Gellert Grindelwald wanted to see him without any warning?
A little-known new professor?
Oh, and he’s a seer, so let’s assume he knows a little bit more – a new professor and fourth year at Hogwarts?
Why was he looking for me? Could it be that he wanted to inquire about Dumbledore’s current situation?
“He didn’t say the specific purpose of looking for you. He just said that he would arrange for you to meet him as soon as possible.”
Gorshak seemed to know what he was thinking, and explained: “This is a very unusual thing. In the more than thirty years since the establishment of Noblic University, people who have met our vice-chancellor estimate that There are no more than ten, and there are only three people who he specifically proposed to go to Nurmengard to meet – the old principal, me, and you.”
“…It’s a great honor.”
Avada opened her mouth and held it in for a long time before she could say something that might fit the current situation. Then she started asking again: “Then when and how do I need to meet him? Is there anything I need to pay attention to? What else?” Yes, do you…do we have a fixed way to sneak into Nurmengard?”
“The sooner the better, preferably tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. We will arrange the course for you, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
Gorshak nodded: “There is nothing special to pay attention to when talking to Grindelwald – although he was once extremely brilliant and now has a transcendent status in the university, but fortunately he does not have any airs or quirks. His people are few and far between only because there is no need.”
“And there is no fixed way to enter Nurmengard… There is no fixed way to enter Nurmengard, because there is no fixed way to enter Nurmengard.”
“unnecessary?
Avada was stunned: “What does this mean?”
“The entire Nurmengard Fortress has no other defensive measures except an anti-Apparition ban, the building is strongly reinforced, and the specific location is hidden.”
“…?”
Avada didn’t realize what Gorshak said for a moment.
The prison where the world’s most dangerous prisoners are held, Nurmengard, has no defenses whatsoever? ?
Yes, Voldemort did break into Nurmengard easily, and even sent Grindelwald back to the West. But that was Voldemort, who could compete with Dumbledore who had the Elder Wand, and had great magical attainments. The Dark Lord, who may be even more powerful than Grindelwald, wouldn’t be surprised if he broke into anything… but there’s no defense in the entire prison?
Just kidding? ? ?
Grindelwald even has a criminal record – he escaped from prison once in history, and that escape plunged the whole of Europe into war… The prison where such a person is held has no defense measures? !
“You should know that Nurmengard is a prison built by Grindelwald himself to imprison his enemies during the war.”
Seeing Avada’s shocked and confused expression, as well as the way he was hesitating and trying to say something but couldn’t get the words out, Gorshak smiled and said, “Lock up an extremely powerful, dangerous, and strategic wizard. He built it with his own hands, and the structure is extremely familiar to him. He is even a prophet himself… Why do you think this is?”
“Because they have no intention of relying on coercive measures to imprison Grindelwald – in fact, for a wizard of that level, as long as he is willing, no prison in the world can imprison him, even if he is willing to use some special Technically speaking, even killing him is extremely difficult…you should know this.”
“So, Grindelwald was imprisoned in Nurmengard voluntarily from the beginning and stayed there for fifty years.”
“…What about his subordinates? The ones like Wu Cui?”
“They tried to rescue Grindelwald several times, but he personally rejected them all.”
Gorshak shook his head: “He knew very well that it was meaningless for him to leave Nurmengard – whether it was power, philosophy or personal strength, he had completely failed, and there was no chance of a comeback. Maybe. Apart from causing some damage to society, escaping from prison has no meaning. It will also damage his demeanor, and may even violate the agreement and break the heart of his old friend…”
“So, if you want to enter Nurmengard and meet Grindelwald, you only need to do three things: find the location, fly over the outer wall, and climb the tower.”
