Chapter 186 Taking Grandpa to Survive in the Wilderness
"prison Break?"
Grindelwald raised his eyebrows in disbelief and snorted, "And go find a Muggle healer?"
"That's right. Whether it's magic or science, it's just a way for humans to solve problems. We only need to go to the center of Salzburg, which is closest to here, and then find a hospital there for treatment. That’s it. If you don’t like the word jailbreak, you can also choose to be released on medical parole or go on an autumn tour.”
Elena clapped her two little hands together, tilted her head cutely, narrowed her eyes and thought for a while before adding, "Of course, depending on how the situation develops, it may turn into a prison robbery."
After all, as we all know, the first step in rescuing a drowning person is usually to knock the rescued person unconscious. At this time, Elena will not show any mercy - not to mention, she has already tested it once in advance.
Faced with the almost obvious threats from the silver-haired little witch, Grindelwald couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes. This little girl was really not polite at all.
"Don't worry, although I chose to self-exile because of some things, I didn't have any intention of seeking death. But..."
Grindelwald shrugged, raised his head and looked at Elena, paused and then said:
"However, you may have overlooked a very important point. Nurmengard Castle is not a Muggle tourist attraction, let alone a road leading to a Muggle city. Before arriving at your result, this process Have you ever thought about it?"
"Of course I have. There are two ways to go about this."
Speaking of this, Elena nodded seriously and raised her index finger.
"The first is the simplest one. As far as I know, Professor Dumbledore can perform short-distance apparation without a wand. You should be able to do it too, right? As long as you leave the magic of Nurmengard Castle, Due to the restricted area, even if the journey is divided into several times, it is still very easy to reach Salzburg.”
The magical world is far ahead of the non-magical world in the exploration of time and space. Elena, who is smart and naturally beautiful, will not ignore the wizard's iconic "Apparition" magic.
Although according to common sense, a wand is required to perform Apparition, a highly skilled wizard is obviously not subject to this restriction - after all, this is a basic ability of a wizard. Many little wizards will unconsciously display similar magic effects during magic riots, such as suddenly appearing a few meters away to avoid wild dogs or people.
"Apparating? This won't work. Let's talk about the next plan."
Grindelwald glanced at Elena, hesitated for a few seconds, and shook his head.
"Why?" Elena asked subconsciously.
"You need to understand that Apparition follows the three-dimensional principle, which is Destination, Determination, and Deliberation. In other words, my consciousness and thoughts must remain clear during the entire magic process. Under normal circumstances, of course, no problem. But now..."
As Grindelwald spoke, he pointed helplessly at his right hand, which was placed between his chest and abdomen and was emitting a hazy white light. "No one can cast other spells while apparating. However, once I stop using magic, By suppressing that blood ketone concentration, my poor physical condition will inevitably affect my consciousness."
"Not to mention, I have to take you with me, right?" Grindelwald grinned, shrugged and continued, "If the Apparition fails, the body may be separated. There won't be anyone around here. The incident reversal team is here to help." (Click to expand comment)
"So, what is the other option? If it's Floo powder or broomsticks, it goes without saying." Grindelwald slowly shook his head, "There are no such things in Nurmengard Castle."
"No, the second option is that we go to Salzburg on foot." Elena replied.
"Wait, I remember I said before that Nurmengard Castle was not built..." Grindelwald frowned.
"You know, there is a famous saying in the non-magical world: In fact, there are no roads in this world. The more people walk, the more people will become roads. It doesn't matter that there were no roads built before. After we walk through them, there will be roads. .”
Elena waved her hand indifferently, stood up and looked out the window, "When Professor Dumbledore brought me here, I once observed the surroundings. The peak where Nurmengard Castle is located is not too steep. , the surrounding area is mainly a traditional European forest area, and it’s not too troublesome to hike through it.”
Compared to the overgrown and muddy tropical rainforest, the area around Salzburg, located in the gates of the Alps, is simply a resort. It was early autumn, and the ground was mostly covered with soft soil composed of pine needles and fallen leaves. The trees and weeds were generally not too tall. With a simple explosion spell, blasting a road was really simple.
"Hiking?" Grindelwald stood next to Elena and looked out the window at the snow-capped Untersberg. His cheeks couldn't help but twitch. "You don't mean that we walked to that mountain purely on our legs. Let’s go to the mountain peak?”
"Of course, you should just exercise. After all, one of the causes of your illness may be long-term lack of exercise. And our destination is Salzburg below the Unter Peak. The main road should be downhill. According to In my experience, it can take up to six or seven hours to get there.”
As she spoke, Elena glanced at the first-generation Dark Lord, who was thin and obviously lacked exercise, "Don't worry, if you really can't walk, I will carry you on my back."
"I'm not so weak that I need a ten-year-old girl to carry me on my back." Grindelwald frowned, his face full of displeasure.
"That's best. We need to carry a lot of things. I'm also counting on you to help me share some of the pressure."
Elena glanced at the old wizard who was like a cat that stepped on the tail, raised her eyebrows noncommittally, and began to pack up and prepare while muttering softly - although she said it lightly, hiking has never been developed After walking through the primeval forest for nearly ten hours, some basic configurations are still ready as much as possible.
Besides, others traveled with Mr. Bei, but she took him to the wilderness to survive. This was a big difference.
"For fresh water and food, just put them in Dumbledore's gray suitcase."
"Warm clothes are definitely needed. Naturally, I wear a pair of hard-wearing denim. As for Grandpa Grindelwald, I'll just make do with my Hogwarts robe. I've already worn it once."
"Then, the most important thing remains..."
The girl blinked, then suddenly raised her head and looked at Grindelwald, who was standing silently aside and unable to help at all.
"By the way, old man, how is your sense of direction? Can you tell the basics of east, west, north, and south?"
"Hmm? What do you think? I'm just getting older, not an idiot who can't even tell the direction."
Grindelwald raised his eyebrows and snorted, showing that he obviously didn't want to answer such a stupid question. In his opinion, the white-haired dumpling in front of him should have started his daily provocative behavior again.
Stupid...idiot?
Elena, who was suddenly hit by an arrow for no apparent reason, twitched the corner of her mouth and roared in her heart - apologize to the road fools all over the world! Isn't it normal to not be able to tell the direction?
After a pause for a second or two, Elena nodded calmly, without any waves on her face, and said in a normal tone.
"Very good, then I will describe the orientation distribution to you a little later, and then I will leave it to you to identify the direction - after all, I won't have to do everything. This is fair, right? "
"No problem at all."
Grindelwald nodded speechlessly.
What a childish little guy, he is obviously showing good intentions but still has to cover it up.
But... she is also the cutest little girl he has ever met - Grindelwald looked at Elena who was busy, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
