Chapter 179 The Prophet's Prophecy and Death

Austria, Nurmengard Castle.

Dumbledore looked at the ancient castle in front of him with complicated eyes. Many people thought it was a spooky prison, but only he knew that no prison could hold Gellert.

The only thing that can imprison Gellert is his own inner prison.Nurmengard?It's just a place to live.

This time he didn't let Fox activate Apparition, but walked towards the tall tower in the middle of the castle step by step like a Muggle.

During this period, Dumbledore's expression was constantly changing, sometimes hesitating, sometimes decisive.He knew very well what serious consequences his behavior would cause this time.

Just like two people breaking up, quarreling, or fighting coldly, whoever looks for each other first is the one who bows first.

But these are not important to Dumbledore.

The important thing is that he is afraid that the Nurmengard in Gellert's heart will no longer exist from now on. After all, his behavior at this time is like bowing his head and admitting defeat.

Wizards generally live longer than Muggles, and the 10 witches who gathered in Paris... most of them are still alive now, and then think of Nurmengard disappearing in the other party's heart... This is his last worried.

But things have come to this, just as he is unwilling to sacrifice Harry, he will not give up on Ian.

Looking at the winding stairs, Dumbledore collected himself, adjusted his robe a little, and then walked up.

……

On the other side, in the room of the Nurmengard Tower, a tall and handsome old man suddenly smiled.

The eyes born with different pupils, coupled with the slightly raised corners of the mouth at the moment, the first impression one sees is - evil, charming and crazy.

Even under the erosion of the years, the old man no longer has a young and handsome face, but... the temperament of forgetting the world is still evident.

"Albus..." Grindelwald sighed to himself.

The moment Dumbledore set foot on Nurmengard, he had already sensed it.

"Knock! Knock! Knock!"

A crisp knock sounded on the door.

After seeing the old wooden door open automatically, Dumbledore walked into the room without any hesitation.

After more than half a century, they met for the first time.Neither of them spoke to each other. In the quiet room, as if time and space stood still, the two of them just stared at each other quietly.

He watched Grindelwald's old face gradually merge with the vigorous figure in his mind.

"Hey!" With a soft sigh, Dumbledore broke the peace here. "Gellert, I seek your help..."

Dumbledore understood very well that the other party was waiting for him to speak first, just like two friends quarreling, whoever speaks first admits defeat.But at the moment, he couldn't take care of so much, he knew very well that Ian's situation was indeed not optimistic.

"Oh?" Grindelwald raised his eyebrows. He never thought that Dumbledore would speak so easily, and he still asked for help plainly.

The mutual understanding made him understand that Dumbledore was really in trouble, otherwise he wouldn't have come to the door, let alone opened his mouth first.

Someone bullied him?Thinking of this, Grindelwald narrowed his eyes slightly, and a trace of coldness flashed in his long and narrow eyes.It disappeared without a trace in an instant, and then said indifferently:
"Tell me what happened."

"I need you to help me predict a person's future." Dumbledore said, then put the box in his hand on the table, and took out the cleaned crystal ball inside.

Grindelwald looked at the familiar objects in front of him, and was also a little absent-minded. "As expected, he still keeps it..." This thought suddenly flashed in my mind.

"Just predicting the future?" Grindelwald took the crystal ball with a complicated mood and asked doubtfully.

"Yes, only predicting the future." Speaking of this, Dumbledore hesitated for a while, and then added: "At least...now it is necessary to predict the future."

"Tell me the details."

……

About half an hour later, the tumbling crystal ball of rain and fog returned to calm.

Dumbledore knew that this was a sign of the end of the prediction. The prophets who truly predicted the future could see the future through the sight of the crystal ball, and the tumbling clouds were the logo of the prophet.

Dumbledore didn't speak first this time.He was waiting, waiting for Gellert's prophecy.

"die!"

A simple word made Dumbledore almost tremble, although he had planned for the worst before coming here.But... there is often a little bit of luck in my heart.

Seeing the expression of his former best friend, Grindelwald also sighed. "Death at its purest and most extreme. I'm sorry, but that's all I've seen."

"Thank you, Gellert!" Dumbledore said softly.

……

Dumbledore left after all.

Grindelwald looked at the crystal ball left by the other party, and suddenly a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. For more than half a century, he has never been so happy as today.

And he didn't lie just now, all he saw in his field of vision was death, that kind of extreme, pure death.

But he didn't tell Dumbledore that death in this state was not normal, or that wizards didn't deserve it at all.

His happiness at the moment is more due to seeing the future of wizards...

……

On the other side, in the principal's office, Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick had already left.

After Dumbledore came back, he sat quietly in his chair and thought about the solution.

Just as Gellert knew him, he also knew Gellert. He knew that the other party was not lying, that the other party really saw death.

"Ariana..."

He thought of his sister, but at that time he was powerless to change the fact that had happened, but now he doesn't want to give up, even if he still can't change the fact.

Dumbledore opened the drawer, ready to write a letter to his old friend.

But just this slight movement made his pupils constrict, and he saw something in the drawer, a simple ring inlaid with obsidian.

And this ring... should have been locked in the cabinet by him together with several other things.

"Coincidence..."

Dumbledore remembered why the ring appeared in the drawer.

The day before the summer vacation, Ian came to borrow books from him. He saw the strangeness of the other party when he saw the ring, the expression of putting it back in place calmly, and even the slight trembling of the other party's wand unconsciously. In the drawer, and the ring was put in the drawer at that time.

He was aware of too many things, but many times, he chose to pretend not to see them.Just like he never takes the initiative to use Legilimency, because living like that is too tiring...

"Fate..." Dumbledore murmured softly, looking at the resurrection stone inlaid on the ring.

Then pointed the wand at the ring, a ghastly green light flashed, and after a shrill sound came from the ring, he picked up the ring again, checked carefully to make sure it was correct, and got up to leave.
