Chapter 31: Fire
When he saw Dumbledore appear, Theo knew that his goal of delaying time had been achieved.
However, what made Theo a little strange was that Grindelwald seemed to have noticed his plan to delay time.
However, he didn't expose himself, but kept cooperating with himself.
Otherwise, if you want to chat, where can't you chat? Why continue to stay here to chat?
Especially after learning the news that Professor Hicks had escaped.
It was completely predictable that since Hicks had escaped, Dumbledore would definitely arrive as soon as possible.
But he was not in a hurry at all.
Otherwise, they might have arrived at Nurmengard now...
However, Grindelwald's next words solved Theo's doubts.
"You came so fast, Dumbledore..." Grindelwald smiled, "I originally planned to persuade these two children to join us in front of you, but... unfortunately, I failed. It's strange, they are obviously so eager for power, but they are indifferent to my recruitment..."
Stealing people in front of Dumbledore? What kind of unique NTR hobby is this... Theo secretly slandered.
"That shows that your charm doesn't seem to be as high as you expected. Moreover, not everyone is like you, using any means to achieve their goals. Although they are young, they can distinguish between black and white." Dumbledore said coldly, "I can already foresee your failure, Grindelwald."
"Failure? My power is now in full swing, my followers are all over the world, and our ideas can even make enemies defect... You said I will fail?" Grindelwald said disdainfully.
"So many years have passed, and countless facts have proved that your ideas are just our youthful and frivolous fantasies... It is impossible to realize them." A trace of sadness flashed in Dumbledore's eyes, "Besides, you don't really care what will happen to this world in the end. You are just trying to satisfy your own hidden ambitions, aren't you?"
"Have I become so unbearable in your eyes?" A trace of anger flashed across Grindelwald's face.
"People will change. The current you have become someone I don't recognize at all. At least the Gellert I knew was not so unbearable." Dumbledore's face was full of grief, "Think about what you have done these years... How many innocent people have lost their lives for your so-called ideals? How many people who were deceived by you have sacrificed meaninglessly because of you?"
"Revolution requires bloodshed!" Grindelwald unconsciously raised his voice, "This world is sick... and my task is to cure it!"
"The sick person is you, Grindelwald..."
"I am to allow all wizards to stand openly under the blue sky! Dumbledore! Magic will only bloom in a very small number of souls! And we are the most special group of people! Why can those mediocre people stand in the sun, but we have to hide? Are you really willing to hide in the dark like a mouse forever? Dumbledore? If you don't dare to change this world, then I will do it! I don't blame you for hiding in that school as a tortoise! But one day, I will put the world in my ideal in front of you! And before that... please! Don't! Stop! Me!"
Then, the two fell into silence at the same time.
These two didn't speak, and naturally no one else dared to speak.
After a long while, Dumbledore sighed and said, "No matter how beautiful words you use to decorate yourself, you can't hide the pain you have brought to this world... Okay, such arguments will not lead to any results. In the past, we have argued countless times, Grindelwald... let's do it."
With that, Dumbledore pulled out his wand.
"You plan to do it if you can't win? But Dumbledore, do you think you can win against me if you really do it?" Grindelwald said, spreading his arms.
At the same time, the Wizard Supremacists behind him gathered behind him, looking at Dumbledore sharply.
No matter how powerful Dumbledore is, he is just one person. If he really does it, the Wizard Supremacists will definitely not fight him one-on-one.
If he is restrained by Grindelwald, and other Wizard Supremacists launch simultaneous sneak attacks from the side, even Dumbledore will only have a way to defeat!
Theo narrowed his eyes. Could it be that because of the influence of his butterfly wings, the decisive battle between Dumbledore and Grindelwald is about to start ahead of schedule?
Dumbledore looked at Grindelwald calmly, as if he didn't see the Wizard Supremacists behind him.
"Since I know you are here. How could I come alone?"
As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, dense crowds suddenly appeared behind him. Before long, the number of people behind Dumbledore was more than Grindelwald's Wizard Supremacists.
Although Dumbledore doesn't have as many followers as Grindelwald, with the addition of the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic, Dumbledore's side has a complete numerical advantage.
Professor Hicks was naturally among them, but she looked very embarrassed. Obviously, she had paid a great price to break through to report to Dumbledore.
At this time, she was looking at Theo and Tom on the opposite side with worried faces.
"Weide, Tom, come here." Dumbledore waved to Theo and the others.
Theo did not hesitate, called Toby, and walked directly towards Dumbledore's team.
Tom hesitated a little.
According to their conversation just now, Tom also guessed what Grindelwald was doing. Such people are ruthless.
So, is it really okay for them to go over now?
You know, they are very close to Grindelwald.
Grindelwald seemed to see through Tom's thoughts, "Since you are not willing to join us, then go back. Don't worry, I won't hurt you. We have enough of our kind... Also, my promise is always valid. If you change your mind in the future, you can still choose to come to me."
Tom couldn't help but look at Grindelwald again, and then quickly followed Theo's footsteps.
"Don't bewitch my students, Grindelwald." Dumbledore looked at Grindelwald angrily.
"Everyone has the right to choose, Dumbledore. You can't stop people's yearning for freedom and truth!"
As Grindelwald spoke, he had an extra wand in his hand.
It was a long wand with scars, one of the famous Deathly Hallows——Elder Wand!
He held the wand and gently swiped in front of him.
"Whoosh!"
A wall of blue flames suddenly appeared in front of Grindelwald and Dumbledore.
Divide the two sides!
He waved his hand, and the Wizard Supremacists behind him turned and Apparated away.
Today, Dumbledore's side has a numerical advantage. If they fight hard, the benefits are slim, so Grindelwald decided to retreat.
Anyway, today's goal has been achieved...
Grindelwald believes that although his attempt to turn the two children against him on the spot failed, his words just now must have left tinder in the hearts of the two children!
Since these two children are so valued by Dumbledore, everything he did today will never be in vain!
