Chapter 513 The Elder Wand
When he was young, Grindelwald studied at Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, a magic school where dark magic is prevalent. Even though this school is very tolerant of dark magic, Grindelwald was still expelled because his dark magic experiment resulted in human death.
After leaving Durmstrang, Grindelwald spent some time traveling. He went to England to visit his great-aunt Bathilda Bagshot, the Bathilda Bagshot in the History of Magic textbook.
The famous magical historian lives in Godric's Hollow. Grindelwald wants to find Ignotus's invisibility cloak and also wants to learn some hidden history from his aunt.
Grindelwald did not find the whereabouts of the Deathly Hallows in the valley, but he was introduced to the equally talented Dumbledore by his aunt. So, Bathilda Bagshot was the matchmaker between Grindelwald and Dumbledore?
The two children, who had tasted the vicissitudes of the world prematurely, fell in love at first sight. The souls of the two young people were attracted to each other. They planned to establish a wizard organization, promote their ideas, and search for the legendary Deathly Hallows together.
But something unfortunate happened, and the two young men parted ways until the unparalleled duel between the two in 1945.
Ada didn't know much about these things in the past. Not many people knew about these things. Even if they knew, no one would dare to say anything nonsense. This story belonging to two young people was left in the dust in Godric's Hollow decades ago.
"That's just a legend, just a bedtime book for children in the magical world, isn't it?" Ada said puzzledly, "Countless people have tried to look for it, but they haven't found anything, haven't they?"
It was really difficult for Ada to understand that it was hard for her to believe that Dumbledore and Grindelwald would believe such a mythical legend!
"I did not find the Invisibility Cloak in Godric's Hollow, but I found another thing many years later." Grindelwald said, "I found the legendary Elder Wand in Grigovitch."
Grigovitch is one of the three major staff-making merchants in Europe, as famous as Ollivander.
The British wizarding world generally uses wands made by Ollivander, while the European continent is Grigovitch's territory.
When he was young, Grindelwald followed the footsteps of the Deathly Hallows and found Gregovich, who was obsessed with wand research. He knocked Grigovitch unconscious and took the Elder Wand as his own.
According to legend, the Elder Wand is a wand that makes its owner invincible. But in reality, no one who owns this wand ends well.
"Are you sure that is really the Elder Wand?" Ada asked, she still didn't believe it. "If it is really like the legend, why did its owner change? It took countless generations from Antioch, and then it fell. In the hands of Grigovitch, and finally in your hands?"
Grindelwald looked like an idiot again and said: "You also said that it is invincible in legend, not invincible in reality. The Elder Wand can only help you cast spells more easily and magnify your The magic power of the Elder Wand is not true invincibility. If the person holding the Elder Wand is a child, it will not be as useful as a wooden stick wedged full of nails."
Isn't this a cheat that makes casting spells concise and easy, and enhances the destructiveness of your spells? Ada suddenly felt that Grindelwald deserved to live alone in Nurmengard for decades. Whoever told you to cheat should be banned!
"But I still don't think it's credible." Ada continued, "You are not a child. Didn't you still lose to Dumbledore with the Elder Wand? I don't think the gap between you is that big. The Elder Wand It can’t be made up for.”
Grindelwald was dismissive and said: "You know nothing, what does a little brat know! That duel is not as simple as you see, it... it is very complicated, even if you tell me, you don't understand it!"
"Oh~" Ada shook her head and pretended to be an old Si Ji.
Does Ada understand? She only understood part of it, but she couldn't let Grindelwald see that she didn't understand. You may not understand, but you must not lose in terms of momentum!
This meaningful "Oh" made Grindelwald blush, and he didn't think carefully about whether Ada really understood. Brainstorming is always fatal.
"You lost, and it doesn't look like you still have the Elder Wand now." Ada said, "So it should be in Dumbledore's hands now, and Dumbledore is the master, right?"
Grindelwald nodded awkwardly, admitting that the master of the Elder Wand was already Dumbledore. Although Grindelwald knew that his image in Ada's mind was not tall and powerful, he seemed even smaller from this moment on.
At this moment, after a long silence, Ada almost forgot about the system fraud.
【Ding! Hidden Quest: The treasure of the three Peverell brothers. Collect the Three Hallows of Death to complete the mission and receive rich rewards. Isn’t the greedy host tempted? 】
My heart is moved, my heart is moved, you big-headed ghost!
What do you want to do after collecting the Three Hallows of Death? Summon the God of Death and seal away the corpses? Ada is not a permanent nanny. She is not that open-minded and has no interest in this kind of extreme exchange.
That's Dumbledore, Dumbledore with the blessing of the Elder Wand!
Unless she takes a sneak attack or confronts her head-on, it can be said that Ada has no chance of winning. In a one-on-one fight with Dumbledore, Ada might as well go to the trouble of noseless Voldemort, but at least she could still stand up to Voldemort.
The name of a person, the shadow of a tree, facing Dumbledore, Ada was really unsure.
"What are you thinking about?" Grindelwald said, "You are so lost in thought."
Ada's meditation was interrupted, and she said subconsciously: "I am calculating my chances of winning in a one-on-one duel with Dumbledore. I think my biggest advantage is my youth. He is over a hundred years old. I can slow down." Slow consumption..."
"Don't you believe this legend?" Grindelwald asked, "Why did you come up with the idea of the Elder Wand? What you say is so true!"
"You don't understand." Ada said. She was still multitasking, replying while thinking about how she should fight so as not to put herself at a disadvantage.
This sentence immediately choked Grindelwald. He had just said that Ada didn't understand, but now he was told the other way around, how uncomfortable this was, and what a shame.
Grindelwald stood up angrily and slammed the long table with all his strength. The loud noise startled Ada.
Seeing Ada suddenly jump up from the high-backed chair, holding a yew wand to alert the surroundings, Grindelwald walked up the stairs with satisfaction, leaving Ada in a daze.
I believe you, you are a bad old man, you are so bad!
Putting away the wand, Ada sat back again. She was not as knowledgeable as an old child.
…
Ada just settled down in Nurmengard. She and Grindelwald no longer talked about the Deathly Hallows. Instead, they analyzed the possible movements of the second generation Dark Lord with the help of the first generation Dark Lord.
The same Dark Lord, Grindelwald's career is even bigger, and his ideas are definitely closer to Voldemort than Ada thought. This is all Ada's preparation for returning to England.
Grindelwald knew this very well. He knew that after he was hollowed out by Ada, this little heartless man would leave him behind. But Grindelwald still tried his best to help with the analysis, and was directly demoted from the first generation Dark Lord to a small consultant.
Seeing how Grindelwald was helping her (and possibly helping Dumbledore), Ada also wanted to share her new analysis results with him. Conjecture about Ignotus's invisibility cloak.
This was the conclusion that Ada came to after thinking hard for a long time. She felt that the invisibility cloak in Harry's hand was probably the legendary invisibility cloak.
In the magical world, although the invisibility cloak is not a common commodity, it is not a rare thing either. As long as you have money and connections, you can get one and wear it. Alastor Moody has an invisibility cloak in his hands.
However, the effect of these invisibility cloaks is not very good, and they are time-sensitive. They need to be maintained after a period of time, otherwise they will lose their invisibility and become an ordinary cloak.
The Invisibility Cloak in Harry's hand belonged to his father, James Potter, and was inherited from the Potter family. Ever since Harry got it, I have never heard of him caring for or maintaining the invisibility cloak.
Ada didn't think Harry had the ability to maintain the invisibility cloak, which meant that the Potter family's ancestral invisibility cloak might be unusual.
Moreover, the place where the Potters were killed was in Godric's Hollow. Is this just a coincidence?
