Chapter 185 When the God of Death Visits, You Should Say...
Austria...the Alps...
Of course, Austria is located in the Alps, which is common geographical knowledge.
Diabetes First Aid…Insulin…
Two Austrian and German scholars discovered insulin in the second half of the nineteenth century? No, not this. It's already 1991.
Nurmengard...isolated from the world...the fall of Grindelwald...Dumbledore...
These pieces of information were already extremely familiar to her and were of little use. They were all stories from decades ago.
The loyalty curse?
This was new information, but it seemed to serve no purpose other than making things worse.
Countless memories and images intertwined, collided, and entangled in Elena's mind; all the scenes, sounds, and faces experienced in the two worlds kept appearing, dissipating, and then reappearing like smoke; a strong sense of confusion And the huge flow of information gave Elena a look of pain on her face. She felt dizzy and felt like vomiting...
Under the river bed deep in the memory of the girl's past life, there seems to be a tiny fragment that is emitting a faint light.
——What on earth is it? Think of it quickly! Remember it a little deeper!
Elena frowned in pain, raised her hand and pressed it on her smooth forehead, trying hard to catch the fleeting light in her mind, trying to connect all the fragmented information to find the only correct path. .
"Don't be in a daze, just relax."
Just when her fingertips were about to touch the fragment on the memory river bed, Elena felt someone holding her shoulders and shaking her, and the quiet voice of Gellert Grindelwald came from her ears. The sand on the river bed rolled, and the suddenly turbid river covered up the faint light.
"don't want……"
Elena stretched out her five fingers anxiously, trying helplessly to catch the light, and then she felt her "body" begin to float "upwards" uncontrollably.
call. Huh...huh...
Elena opened her eyes suddenly, opened her mouth and gasped violently, as if she had just been pulled out of deep water.
The absent-minded eyes slowly refocused, and Grindelwald's old face reappeared in front of him, full of concern and confusion.
"Are you okay? Your face looks worse than mine."
Grindelwald asked softly, reaching out his hand and pressing Elena's forehead, a layer of cold sweat on his fingertips.
"Just a little bit...I can figure out how to save you." Elena fiercely avoided Grindelwald's fingers and shouted loudly. She couldn't control herself, and the strong dizziness made her so uncomfortable that she almost vomited.
"So, you haven't given up thinking about this yet? This isn't like you."
Grindelwald sighed helplessly, and his faint eyes fell on Elena's face, with a hint of disappointment in his tone, "Such an emotional waste of time, those beautiful dreams you talk about will never come true."
He had thought that Elena Kaslana could act more rational and cold.
After all, when they met for the first time, this little girl once showed Grindelwald's grand vision and cold chess player's thinking in the "war game between the magical and non-magical world" with him.
"You are an idiot, what do you know! My dream is that none of you will die! Can talking nonsense and making decisions from someone else's shoes be the same thing?! If you can't find any way, you will die tonight Damn it, you know!”
Elena retorted incoherently, clenching her fist and hitting Grindelwald on the chest again and again.
Perhaps for Gellert Grindelwald, who has lived for more than a hundred years, death is just the same as birth, it is just the only way in life, but for Elena, whose whole life has just started, It is indeed impossible to face death calmly.
"..."
Grindelwald frowned, the expression on his face changed, and suddenly softened. He silently stretched out his left hand to hold the girl in his arms, letting the tears wet the clothes on his chest, "Listen, you are only ten years old now. No matter what No matter what, it is inevitable that I, Albus, and even most of the people you know will die before you do."
Elena trembled slightly, as if she wanted to break away from the old man's arm, but her body softened.
"Frankly speaking, although you are very noisy and willful, your cooking skills are indeed the best I have ever seen. These five days have been the happiest I've been in more than forty years, oh no, maybe in more than a hundred years. The most relaxing time. To have the opportunity to arrange the last time calmly, for me, there is no better gift than this."
Elena said nothing and continued to sob silently on Grindelwald's chest.
The tacit understanding between people is amazing. Some people may not be able to become friends after being together for decades, while some people may recognize each other with just a few words and a few looks. Elena and Grindelwald belong to the latter, even though one is the aging Dark Lord wizard and the other is an energetic little mixed-race Veela.
Grindelwald patted Elena's back, released his arms, squatted down, looked carefully at the little witch's red and swollen eyes, and said softly, "Don't forget, according to the agreement, before Albus comes, you should Follow my course schedule carefully."
"The requirements for today's course are: don't cry, don't think too much, and then listen quietly to me telling you a story."
"Yeah." Elena sniffed hard and nodded slightly.
"As for the content of the story..."
Grindelwald paused, glanced at the vertical triangular eye symbol pendant hanging around Elena's neck, thought for a while and then said, "In that case, let me tell you the story about the Deathly Hallows. . This is the legend behind this symbol that only a very few wizards know about."
Although in Grindelwald's view, many of Dumbledore's views are unconvincing, there is one thing he already agrees with: knowledge will only be meaningful if it can be continued. Taking wisdom to the grave is a kind of The biggest waste - of course, Grindelwald still insists that it is better to waste than passing knowledge to idiots.
"Wait, I actually know this."
Elena shook her head, gently rubbing her eyes, and replied in a low voice.
"The Deathly Hallows is recorded in the story about the three brothers in "The Tales of Beedle the Bard". Death made a deal with the three brothers. The eldest brother received the Elder Wand, the second brother received the Resurrection Stone, and the third brother received the Resurrection Stone. Obtained the Invisibility Cloak. Legend has it that as long as these three things are collected, the owner will become the master of Death."
"That's not entirely true. No one can become the master of Death. You have to learn to imagine the real history behind the story. Then this is just a metaphor to exaggerate the power of those three magic items. Death is not a The concrete image exists around everyone, but most people will only realize it after taking that step."
Grindelwald smiled and shook his head. He was not surprised by Elena's occasional erudition. "No one has ever truly conquered death. Even the third oldest among the three brothers is just like me." , like an old friend, greet death as an equal, and then say to him calmly..."
"Not Today (Today is not the time yet)" Elena suddenly interrupted, the light in the girl's eyes gradually brightened again, and she bowed.
"Sorry, I may not have time to listen to your slow story..."
Yes, it has always existed, but it was just hidden.
Why can't there be any signs of human activity around? Grindelwald doesn't like Muggles. This is such a simple reason.
"Huh?" Grindelwald frowned.
As Elena spoke, she turned sideways and looked at the tallest snow mountain outside the window.
On the towering white snow-capped mountains, the lush vegetation shows an obvious difference in sparse distribution. This is the most effective azimuth and weather indicator naturally formed by nature over a long period of time.
"I have been wondering why there is still such a strong wind outside Nurmengard Castle even though it is surrounded by snow-capped mountains."
"Since then, I have been curious about the real location of Nurmengard Castle."
"If this happens, it means that behind the invisible castle, there is probably an open plain with no obstructions. However, there is no such terrain in Austria, which is located in the Alps, unless it is another country."
"Nurmengard Castle was built before you lost power. Both its decoration and structure are very pure and traditional Bavarian style. Moreover, there is no need for you to establish a base camp in an unfamiliar country - unless, before that, this place was originally It’s your hometown.”
"And in the whole of Austria, there is only one place that meets this condition. That is the gate in the Alps on the border of Germany and Austria. From 1810 to the end of 1945, it belonged to Salzburg in Bavaria, Germany. If you think about it carefully, it seems just right. It’s also the time frame in which you grow.”
"Just a moment's pause."
Grindelwald rubbed his brows with a headache, looked at Elena with confusion, and spread his hands, "So, what do you want to say? Even if you know where Nurmengard Castle is built, what's the use?" "
"It was useless. However, I happened to remember the name of the snow-capped mountain opposite, Untersberg. Fortunately, this snow-capped mountain is only about five kilometers away from the center of Salzburg."
The light in Elena's eyes became brighter. She walked to the window and took a deep breath. She opened her fingers and gestured, "You only need to simply convert the distance to estimate the distance from Nurmengard Castle to Salvador." The actual distance to Wolzburg will never exceed twenty kilometers.”
As soon as they arrived in Salzburg, the problems that troubled the two of them were no longer terrible.
As the oldest city in Austria and the fourth largest city in the country, it is not easy to find a hospital with medicinal insulin that can treat diabetic ketoacidosis. Not to mention, there is magic to help suppress and heal.
"Perhaps you are used to welcoming death calmly, but for me, there is always only one sentence when facing death: Today is not the time yet."
The silver-haired little witch turned around and smiled brightly at Grindelwald, "So, in order to survive, let's escape from prison together."
