Chapter 1093 For the Greater Good

Like Azkaban, there are very few materials about Nurmengard in the wizarding world, and some are only rumors. Reading at midnight

Among these rumors, the scariest, and most fantastical at the same time, is the caretaker of Nurmengard.

Some people say that those guards, like the dementors in Azkaban, are nightmare monsters from the deepest depths of hell, and no one can resist them.

Others say that the Wardens of Nurmengard are a terrible curse, the personification of death.

No matter what these rumors are, what is the truth behind them, there is one thing that cannot be denied, that is, all the prisoners who tried to escape from Nurmengard died in the end, disappeared from the world, and never appeared again.

But what exactly Nurmengard looks like, and what kind of creature the guard is, no one knows.

Only those who have been there personally know the specific situation and how terrifying it is. Ordinary wizards talk about it.

Whether it's its past or its present, the inmates held there and the legends hidden behind the buildings.

Aiwen originally thought that he would see a chilling and terrifying building like Azkaban. Terrible jailers like dementors wandered in the ruins, sucking away all the joy and vitality of the land, leaving fear and despair.

But no, he and Dumbledore appeared, and what appeared in front of them was a desolate town.

Although flustered, there are still traces of human activities, but it is not so pleasant.

Speaking of which, this place is like Knockturn Alley.

In the night, the dirty path stretches around, and all you can see at the end is darkness.

The ground is piled up with gravel like slag, and the shops and houses on both sides of the street are all piled up of black rocks. They are built in strange shapes, arbitrary and irregular, like monsters with teeth and claws.

As for the shops themselves, they were all black magic shops.

Shrunken human heads are displayed in a shop window closest to Aiwen, and they are placed there in rows.

The face of the human head is painted with different oil paints, waiting for customers to choose.

A dead body was hung outside the house next to this shop. The body was battered and its skin was brutally peeled off.

Ivan looked at it for a long time, but couldn't tell what kind of creature it was.

It looked like a human being, a dismembered corpse, but there were two large horns on the top of the head.

Dark red blood and unknown mucus slowly descended down the corpse and landed on the ground, making a patter, patter sound.

This was the only sound Ivan heard, other than that, there was no sound in this scary town.

Even though it was late at night, it was still unusual.

The surroundings were deadly silent, even the sound of the wind stopped here.

At the end of the alley, figures swayed, and several hooded wizards walked quickly, proving that there were still living people here.

But no one dared to speak, and even held their breath, for fear of waking up some terrible monster.

"Professor, is this Nurmengard?" Ivan whispered, "It looks like a gathering place for dark wizards."

"This is a small town on the outskirts of Nurmengard, called Gardeburg." Dumbledore said, leading Ivan down an alley, "When Gellert was the strongest, he Nurmengard was built as a symbol of his evil rule, the strongest fortress of dark forces, many dark wizards and greedy people attached to it, most of them did not have the strength and qualifications to join Gellert's army, but he did not chase Let them go, but let them stay on the outskirts of Nurmengard. Finally, it developed and gradually became the town in front of you. After Gellert failed, the town was not abolished, but became the largest dark wizard in Germany Gather."

"Does the German Ministry of Magic not care?" Ivan said in surprise, "They let dark wizards gather here?"

"Existence is reasonable, Aiwen, we all hate black magic and oppose the use of those evil spells, but it does not mean that everyone is like this, and it is impossible to erase a magic category that has been passed down for thousands of years." Dumbledore Lido said, "How to say, it's like Knockturn Alley and the Underworld in the UK. You've been there, and the Ministry of Magic let them exist, but they can't cross the bottom line."

Indeed, the wizarding world is not simply black and white, nor is it as simple as Hogwarts. There are school rules that clearly prohibit students from learning black magic. Everyone thinks it is a bad thing, resists it, and does not discuss it publicly.

In real magical societies, the lines between good and evil are blurred.

Light and darkness blend with each other and exist in each other.

It is unrealistic and impossible to eliminate all black wizards and black magic.

As long as they don't do illegal and evil things, the Ministry of Magic has no reason to arrest them and sentence them.

But if it is not evil, is it still black magic?

Going straight along the alley, after passing a shop, Ivan saw a tall and majestic building appearing in front of him.

The building seems to be a palace, among which there are many towers, the most striking being the main tower in the center.

The main tower stands tall and extends to the clouds, with no end in sight, which is daunting.

A mysterious atmosphere enveloped its surroundings, which seemed to be a kind of power, and the people staring at it all quickly shifted their sights.

To be honest, this building is nothing short of a miracle, a miracle built by Grindelwald.

Nurmengard is located on an island in the middle of a lake, surrounded by a huge pool of black water, calm and deep.

The other dark wizards in the town seem to be very afraid of this lake and dare not approach it easily.

They hid in the dark doorway, and when they saw Dumbledore and Ivan walking straight there, they all showed uncontrollable panic expressions.

What is hidden in this calm black water that makes these black wizards so afraid?

"There is Nurmengard, the real wizard prison!" Dumbledore said simply.

Following the direction of his gaze, Ivan looked at the dark main tower, where Grindelwald himself was imprisoned, confessing his sins at the highest end.

From the fact that he treated Kerexis, it can be seen that he has a certain freedom.

As a powerful dark wizard, it is almost impossible to completely control him.

Therefore, Grindelwald was imprisoned here, in the fortress he built himself, completely voluntarily.

But Ivan still doesn't understand, not everyone is Grindelwald, and will be imprisoned in this wizard prison voluntarily.

This place is so close to the gathering place of dark wizards, what protective measures does Nurmengard have in place to ensure that no one escapes from prison?

Facing the main tower, the main building also stretches forward on the ground, presenting a symmetrical L shape with each other.

The main body of Nurmengard's building was stretched, running through more than half of the lake, and built in front of them, where the gate of Nurmengard was also located.

As soon as Ivan walked over, he saw a sentence engraved on it: For the greater good!
