Chapter 561 Haierbo Appears

,!

"Is there still no movement in the maze?"

Professor Flitwick led people back to the paddock and asked the few wizards who were left behind.

"No, we have eliminated the remaining attackers, but there are no changes in the maze, and no distress signal has been sent." The person who replied was an old man who looked exactly like Dumbledore, except that he looked more serious and more violent.

The woman standing next to him was wearing a long black robe, and her graceful curves could be seen, but most of her face was hidden under the hood.

"Orui went to chase a few escaping guys. They should be back soon——"

The woman said, naturally they were Aberforth and Nagini who came from Hogsmeade.

Professor Flitwick frowned: "Aberforth, what did Albus tell you?"

Aberforth shook his head and said in an unsatisfied tone: "He never opens up to others, including my younger brother - he just mentioned that there is a high probability that there will be problems at the competition site, and let us wait for opportunities on the side. And move, don't let the students get hurt - hum, so when I saw Karkaroff shouting that Dumbledore is dead, I wanted to go over and tell him to shut up. That brother of mine is no longer in Hogwarts. .”

Just as he was talking, a black fluff came quickly from the outside, it was Aurelius.

"These should be the only ones -" He landed on the ground and transformed into a human form, leaving several unconscious wizards on the ground.

"Thank you for your hard work." Professor Flitwick said, and then waved his wand to completely imprison those people. They now had no time and no manpower to send the attackers to the prison.

Aurelius nodded and looked towards the maze: "Shawn hasn't come out yet?"

"No," said Professor Flitwick, "the boy said it might be postponed, but it's been a little too long now..."

"He may no longer be in the maze." Aurelius said after thinking for a while.

"Why do you say that?" the others asked.

Aurelius looked around and confirmed that they were all his own. He sighed: "Albus told me. He said that Sean's family might be affected by some kind of magic. He also emphasized that, His Deluminator was accidentally lost.”

Hearing this, Aberforth immediately frowned: "Deluminator? That thing is his handiwork. It can pull people into the mirror space."

"Yes, I am a witness -" Aurelius said, "I know how to break the mirror space, but Sean's family did not suffer any accidents - Albus can remind me, then he should remind Sean, But judging from his performance, he didn't seem to do so... So I suspect that Sean is no longer in the maze. Albus may have made some arrangements, and Sean should have understood what he meant from another angle - "

"If Sean is going to do something, he should get out of the maze first. Haha, I know him very well. Although it's not polite to say this, the rest of the students participating in the competition with him are destined to be losers... He hasn't yet Come out, which means Sean left directly in the maze.”

The nasolabial folds on Professor Flitwick's head had become wrinkled. He seemed to have thought of something and said in an uncertain tone: "The trophy is a door key, it will transport the winner to the podium... Could it be yes……"

Aberforth said angrily: "The people from the Ministry of Magic are completely untrustworthy. The door key may point to other places... I suspect that Sean understood something of my brother's meaning and took the initiative to step into the trap! Humph, how can he have the nerve to let a child take risks!"

Hearing this, the Potters who had been standing by suddenly showed anxious expressions. Their daughter was inside, and Sean was also a junior they liked very much. Doesn't this mean...

Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Aurelius shook his head: "Your daughter should still be in the maze. If Sean takes the initiative to step into the trap, based on my understanding of him, he will not let others take the risk." .”

James' face was still not very good: "But Sean is not even an adult..."

Aberforth paced on the spot a little irritably: "My brother...he is a man with a bad brain! He always thinks that he can save the world and save other people! But he never comes out! He ...He doesn’t trust others at all!”

Aurelius heard other meanings in his father's words. He seemed to have thought of something and asked quickly: "Father, do you think of Albus?"

Various emotions flashed across Aberforth's face: regret, irritability, pain, guilt...

He finally said in a low voice: "Albus came to see me a few days ago..."

"What did he say?" Others quickly asked.

"He said..." Aberforth slowly closed his eyes, "He was going to bring Ariana back..."

------------------

Godric's Hollow has fallen into a strange state. It seems that the violent fluctuations of time have opened up an extra mirror space. Unlike the scene space caused by the Deluminator, the extra space here is filled with all kinds of weirdness. , a phenomenon that is inconsistent with common sense.

Little Grindelwald just moved closer to the old house, and Sean saw that a small tree in front of him and Voldemort's hiding place seemed to have been cut in half - but the upper part was cut off. Still swaying in the huge wind.

An insect flew past his eyes, its wings strangely superimposed on its compound eyes, but it was still trying to flap, trying to escape from the area.

"Time has begun to completely affect the surrounding area..." Sean thought silently.

The anomalies caused by the time conflict made Voldemort hesitate. He learned from the incomplete prophecy that time was related to Grindelwald, but the situation now caused was a bit too weird - as a powerful wizard, he knew deeply that if he was If you are caught in the waves of the long river of time, it is very likely that you will completely disappear from the current timeline.

Grindelwald wants to use this to complete the fusion of the Deathly Hallows? Voldemort thought uncertainly.

Becoming the master of the Three Holy Artifacts of Death would allow him to seize the power of the God of Death, but he didn't know exactly how to do it.

However, I just need to hide my body and wait until the end... Voldemort thought of this and hid his body a little better.

Outside the old house, little Grindelwald took another step forward. As his footprints hit the ground, the whole old house had turned into a completely scattered shape. Half of the attic was deep into the ground, and the floor protruded with the door panels on top. Fragments, dusty old furniture were divided into various shapes and then freely assembled together.

Little Grindelwald did not show any surprise at this. He calmly walked forward and pushed open the handle that was originally the door.

With the push, the part belonging to the door opened in various places - the door was divided into many parts by the fluctuation of time, but it still assumed the role of "door".

At this moment, a figure appeared from a distance.

Sean almost broke out of his soul-stealing state and his eyes widened - that was Professor Dumbledore!

At the same time, he was keenly aware that Voldemort beside him did not show any surprise.

Did he know that Dumbledore would go to Grindelwald?

Is this what Voldemort once mentioned about the returnees' obstruction to Grindelwald's plan?

But Dumbledore knew the truth of all this, and he had no reason to prevent Grindelwald's fusion...

Could it be that these two old men are acting again? An idea popped into Sean's mind uncontrollably.

Of course, little Grindelwald, who was about to step into the old house, noticed the sudden visitor.

Infinite emotion and unknown joy flashed in his eyes. He didn't speak or make any unnecessary movements, he just waited patiently for Dumbledore to get closer.

Dumbledore was getting closer, so close that Sean could see the expression on his face.

The ancient well has no waves and is extremely peaceful.

However, he held the Elder Wand in his hand.

"Albus..." Little Grindelwald narrowed his eyes, with some relief on his old face. "haven't seen you for a long time."

Dumbledore's expression remained calm, and he came closer holding the Elder Wand: "Grindelwald, you have hurt the lives of an entire world. Isn't this enough? Do you want more?"

The moment he said these words, the time fluctuations that were already like turbulent waves went completely crazy. Sean could even feel that his body and soul were about to be separated and cut apart.

However, something strange is that the time fluctuation is only limited to Godric's Hollow, and there seems to be a magical barrier on the outermost periphery that prevents this fluctuation from spreading to the entire world.

Little Grindelwald opened his hands and showed a smile: "I thought the will of the world would immediately pay attention... It seems that you have known this place for a long time. However, according to my understanding of you, you cannot have the power to stop time. Then It belongs to a higher level, to the level that both of us have pursued."

"This is all because of you-" Dumbledore raised his wand, his eyes cold.

Little Grindelwald snorted coldly: "You would rather believe in a villain who seizes the power of the gods than in me?! I have made all the arrangements, but you choose to believe in her?"

A look of disgust appeared on Dumbledore's face: "You make me feel sick..."

"Disgusting? You've seen my memories, you know what I'm doing!"

Dumbledore interrupted little Grindelwald: "Just because I know who you are, I don't choose you -"

Little Grindelwald was stunned for a moment, and then his face darkened: "At least I am doing something for this world... She? A thief, she wants the world to be her own paradise and the potion for her resurrection-"

"But I can at least stop her," Dumbledore said softly.

"Indeed..." An old, hoarse voice came from all directions.

Sean, who was still thinking about the conversation between the two people, trembled in his heart. For some reason, he felt a sense of surrender just by hearing the figure. At the same time, huge fear spread rapidly.

This change almost made Sean unable to maintain his soul-captured state, and then he reacted.

It's the bard!

It's the Haierbo I guessed!

Grindelwald used her to call the other party, which is enough to prove that the other party has indeed completed the terrible act of killing gods and stealing power, and now, the other party is here? !

Voldemort next to Sean was trembling with excitement: "My guess is true... She has seized the power of a god... Grindelwald will fight her on the same level!"

That old voice seems to be hidden in the wind, in the leaves, and in the entire space.

"Grindelwald, you are such a genius -" the old voice did not hide his appreciation at all, "I can't really come to reality, so I can't see everything clearly - but now I understand, it turns out That’s it, that’s how it is.”

Grindelwald had no intention of talking to the old voice. He still looked at Dumbledore: "Is this your choice? Only I who have returned have the power to fight against the gods. What can you do?"

Dumbledore did not speak, but in the center of the sky, a black mist slowly gathered, and then turned into a human-shaped black shadow.

Just seeing it, a stinging pain was sent directly to Sean's brain. He felt that his consciousness even turned into powder in an instant, and the pain that was enough to make people crazy filled his body and soul.

In fact, he could no longer maintain his current state.

At this time, a strange magic power spread out from his soul island, and the pain dissipated rapidly.

Sean finally came to his senses and immediately understood one thing - you cannot look directly at God!

And that fluctuation... comes from [arrogance]!

Look directly at everything in the world, including the [arrogance] of gods!

Although he didn't know why this culprit suddenly helped him, Sean at least maintained his condition and was not noticed by Voldemort - Voldemort covered his eyes with a layer of purple magic when the sound and shadow gathered together.

His eyes were red now and tears were streaming down his face - but he could look directly at that figure.

Voldemort knew that the leader of the Returned was a god... no, a person who had stolen the power of a god.

The other party definitely cannot appear in his true form now, but it is just a clone or projection, possessing such terrifying divinity... Sean's heart was filled with turmoil.

The only people who were not affected were Dumbledore and Grindelwald. They did not make any moves, but they could still look directly at the black figure.

"Albus analyzed the magical nature of [Sloth], so he can look directly at me..." The black figure laughed, "What about you, Grindelwald? It seems that you have gained a lot from another time. nice one……"

"Look directly? You are just a thief, a person who stole the treasure but was trapped in the treasure house - ha, this is your power? There are very few places where you can affect the world, right? The surrounding people The time barrier should have consumed most of your accumulated strength—" Grindelwald's tone was still extremely arrogant. He snorted disdainfully and announced the other party's name.

"Herbo."

Sure enough it was him! Sean felt like his heart was going to pop out of his chest.

The black figure known as Haierbo chuckled: "Correct, it seems that I have met you in another time? However, since you chose to travel through a hundred years, it proves a lot of things... Okay , Grindelwald, I have spent a lot of energy hiding from the eyes of the world for you - it is very troublesome, isn't it? In order to prevent you from jumping over the wall and pulling the world to perish together, I can only do this - by the way, this news comes from our common 'Friend' Albus Dumbledore."

The air was silent for a moment.

Halbo's voice continued: "Go, fuse, Grindelwald, and then -"

"Die in peace."
