Chapter 877 Ivan: Impossible, Am I a Fake Gryffindor?
Ivan reached out and picked up the Sword of Gryffindor placed on the bedside, and looked at it carefully.
This gorgeous sword looked the same as before, but Ivan clearly felt that the magic power contained within it seemed to have been enhanced to a certain extent.
The original Sword of Gryffindor does not have the ability to destroy Horcruxes, as can be seen from the fact that Harry failed to break through Nagini's defense when he first attacked her.
However, the biggest advantage of this thing is that it can absorb all favorable factors to strengthen itself. Now it seems that the scope of this "favorable factors" is extremely wide, including the power of spirit and will in addition to basic materials!
As a master alchemist, Ivan is no stranger to this kind of emotional energy. For example, he used this power when repairing the crescent moon pendant last school year.
It's just that his current level is very limited, and his use of emotional energy is still relatively crude. He only stores it and then uses it to bless some kind of magic when needed.
The Sword of Gryffindor is different. It seems to be able to recycle this power and permanently strengthen itself.
"I really don't know how those goblins made this sword..." Ivan stroked the sword and admired it, coveting the goblins' craftsmanship.
Thinking of Harry's description, Ivan clenched the hilt of the sword to see if he could pour his will into the sword. However, after struggling for a while, the faint glow of the sword that Harry said did not appear. Even the attempt to summon the Sword of Gryffindor failed.
Could it be that I am a fake Gryffindor? Ivan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
No, absolutely impossible, it must be because my will to summon this sword is not strong enough...
After all, he is a serious wizard and has no desire to kill people with a sword.
"Do you still remember how you injected power into this sword, Harry?" Ivan turned his head to look at Harry and asked.
Harry hesitated for a moment. He remembered that he didn't seem to have done anything at that time. He just rushed forward in a rush of thought, thinking only about how to kill Nagini.
After hearing Harry's explanation, Ivan was a little bit dumbfounded, and really didn't know what to say.
But this also made him understand that only an extremely pure will can resonate with the Sword of Gryffindor.
Perhaps Dumbledore saw that Harry was a hot-blooded and reckless young man, so he was so sure that he could successfully kill Nagini.
Thinking of this, Ivan put aside the Sword of Gryffindor, because this sword seemed not very suitable for someone like him who relied on his brain to fight. In comparison, he also believed more in the power of the wand.
"By the way, there's something else I forgot to tell you just now..." Harry suddenly seemed to have remembered something and said quickly. "When I saw the professor in another world, he told me that he was waiting for someone. If that person is willing to keep his promise, he should be here soon!"
"Waiting for someone?" Ivan was stunned for a moment, and his brows quickly wrinkled.
"Do you know who he is waiting for? Hals?" Snape asked curiously.
"Gellert Grindelwald!" Ivan said with great certainty, and then looked at the puzzled expressions of the two people and continued to speak. "Professor Dumbledore and he used to be very good friends, but they later became enemies due to some ideological conflicts."
Harry was half convinced. He really couldn't accept that Professor Dumbledore would be friends with a famous dark wizard like Grindelwald when he was young...
This is even more outrageous than Voldemort being a Gryffindor.
Snape was also in disbelief. Everyone in the wizarding world knew how much Dumbledore hated the dark arts and had struggled with it his entire life.
But when he thought that Dumbledore had deliberately arranged for him to lure Voldemort to see Grindelwald, Snape swallowed back his rebuttal.
Ivan did not explain much on this matter. After all, Dumbledore was already dead, and there was really no need to expose each other's scars.
There are very few great people who can finish their lives without any stain. Even if they made some mistakes in the first half of their lives, it will not damage Dumbledore's great name.
"Professor Snape, could you please help me take a look at this?" Ivan took out a reagent from the pocket of the wizard's robe and handed it to Snape.
The latter reached out to take it in confusion and looked down. There was some black and red blood attached to the transparent reagent, which looked very strange.
"This is Grindelwald's blood! He took part of the damage caused by the black magic on Dumbledore's behalf. Can you judge his current physical condition through this thing?" Ivan said with a solemn expression.
He had stayed in Nurmengard for a full hour, not just to set fire to it, but also to collect the blood that dripped when Grindelwald cut his left hand.
It's a pity that all this blood has problems, otherwise it would be a good material for placing black magic curses and brewing polyjuice potion.
Snape gently opened the lid, used his wand to suck out some of the blood, and floated in mid-air to examine it carefully. He had been Dumbledore's chief physician for two years, so he was naturally familiar with the characteristics of this weird black magic. Very understanding and came to a conclusion very quickly.
"If nothing else happens, he can last for about two months at most." Snape waved his wand to refill the blood and said.
"If you were to diagnose and treat him, regardless of the cost, would you be sure to save Grindelwald?" Ivan asked again.
"Absolutely impossible! The degree of corrosion is too deep and it is entangled with magic power. At least I can't think of any way." Snape shook his head, feeling somewhat lucky in his heart.
Grindelwald is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and I am afraid he will not be easier to deal with than Voldemort. Now that he knows that this dangerous person is going to die soon, Snape feels relieved for a moment.
Ivan on the side did not reject Snape's judgment, because it was basically consistent with his guess. Dumbledore spent two years trying to completely eliminate this weird black magic, and Grindelwald again What can be done?
"Since he is going to die soon, why did he escape from prison?" Harry asked puzzledly.
Ivan rolled his eyes. He was about to ask this question. With only two months left to live, even if Grindelwald had an amazing plan to dominate the world, it would be too late to implement it.
As for finding someone to bear the harm of this curse like Dumbledore?
Even if you think about it with your feet, you know this is impossible!
Even powerful wizards of their level cannot last for a year. If it were replaced by an ordinary wizard, it would take ten days and a half to survive the erosion of black magic!
Moreover, this plan is only a temporary measure. If you delay it for a while, you will still die...
