Chapter 129: Meeting at the Tower of Nurmengard
The dragon has reverse scales, which will kill you if you touch it.
Snape is one of Hephaestus's weak spots.
Hephis did not return to the dormitory, but came to the Forbidden Forest.
He is still very angry, so how could he possibly go back to the dormitory?
He ran straight to the nest of the eight-eyed giant spider, and as soon as he stepped into the territory, he heard a loud clicking sound.
Immediately afterwards, countless huge eight-eyed spiders suddenly emerged from the woods.
They are ten feet tall, with six long hairy legs supporting their huge bodies, and two large shiny black claws waving in the air.
Hephis was furious at the moment and saw the target appear.
He didn't waste any time and just waved his wand.
Various spells poured out from his wand, and the woods instantly flashed with colorful lights.
The eight-eyed giant spiders rushed towards Hephaestus one after another.
But every time they approached, a black wall would appear out of nowhere, blocking their way.
In less than ten minutes, hundreds of eight-eyed giant spiders fell in a pool of blood.
"I'm Hagrid's friend, please stop."
A giant eight-eyed spider with eight milky white eyes slowly walked out of its nest, its voice full of pleading.
When Hephis heard Hagrid's name, he paused.
He looked at the giant eight-eyed spider in front of him, which seemed to be blind.
When the other eight-eyed giant spiders saw him stop, they cowered and hid behind the trees, leaving only corpses on the ground.
"Do you know Hagrid?" Hephis asked.
"I was raised by Hagrid, and then released into this forbidden forest." The blind giant spider replied.
"What's your name?" After venting for a period of time, Hephis's anger gradually subsided.
"Aragog! This is the name Hagrid gave me." Aragog realized that this wizard seemed to be Hagrid's friend.
Hephis nodded. Since it was Hagrid's pet, that was it.
But based on the principle of not wasting anything, he waved his hand and collected all the corpses of the eight-eyed giant spiders on the ground.
Then he Disapparated and disappeared into the woods.
At this moment, he has calmed down. As for the venom, he can ask An An to help deal with it later.
If Snape hadn't given him a look before leaving, warning him not to cause trouble.
He was so sick that Lupin had to stay in the hospital for several years.
Dumbledore is here, don't try to stop him.
As for why he is so confident?
Gellert Grindelwald's shadow is now in his body, coupled with the ability of the Shadow Fruit.
Even though he may not necessarily win, it's definitely a 50-50 chance, he's 50.
A few days before school started, Hephis received a notice from Vida.
Dumbledore has left Nurmengard Tower and returned to Hogwarts to prepare for the upcoming new term.
This also means that he can't continue to accompany Grindelwald for the time being.
So taking advantage of this time, Hephis used the portkey to go to Nurmengard.
When Hephaestus arrived outside the tower of Nurmengard, he felt a desolate and lonely atmosphere.
There was not a single guard around the tower, and not even a trace of magical fluctuations could be detected.
He walked up the dark stairs, step by step.
On top of the tower, there was only a small room with its door half open.
Hephis knocked gently three times on the shabby little wooden door.
A deep and magnetic voice came from inside the house: "Come in."
Pushing open the door, Hephis saw Grindelwald.
He was dressed casually and his hair was neatly combed.
Although his face looks a little old, it can be seen that he must have been a handsome guy when he was young.
Especially the unique heterochromatic eye, which makes her even more charming.
"Hello, Mr. Grindelwald." Hephis greeted politely.
The room was simply furnished with a large double bed, two soft sofas and an exquisite tea table.
Grindelwald made a pot of black tea for Hephis, and the two sat opposite each other.
"How about black tea? I only have black tea here." Grindelwald said with a smile.
"Thank you." Hephis took a sip of black tea.
"I've actually wanted to meet you for a long time." Grindelwald suddenly spoke, as if he was lost in some memories. "About four years ago, the prophecy changed."
Hephis' heart trembled, four years ago was exactly the time when he had just traveled through time. It seems that this prophecy really has some truth.
"What will the future be like?" Hephis asked curiously.
"Future!" Grindelwald stared into Hephaestus' eyes. "What kind of future do you want?"
Hephes was stunned. What does this mean? Can I choose the prophecy?
"Maybe... the unification of mankind."
"Haha." Grindelwald laughed and looked very happy.
“The prophecies are always changing.”
“Sometimes the land was barren and mankind was nearly extinct.”
"Sometimes all wizards and humans will walk out of this prison."
"Or maybe wizards have completely disappeared in the long river of history."
"Endless war and blood..."
"I have never seen so many changes in prophecy, but the only thing that remains unchanged is you. Hephaestus, you always sit high in the sky."
"So are you going to..." Hephis asked hesitantly.
"The world is sick, and it needs to be cured." Grindelwald took a deep breath, "You are the one who will cure the world. As for how to cure it, it's all up to you."
"It seems that Mr. Grindelwald wants to bet all his ideals on me." Hephis shrugged.
"Not really. My heart is dead. I just want to see more of this world." Grindelwald smiled helplessly.
"You are not honest!" Hephis joked, "If you just wanted to watch, you wouldn't have come to me or helped me."
"I just want to prove that Dumbledore is wrong." Grindelwald muttered to himself.
Got it!
Another pair!
Hefeth really doesn't want to complain anymore!
Snape must develop a gender-changing potion.
It is definitely a powerful weapon for the old man PUA.
"Are you just going to stay in this tower and watch without participating?" Hephis looked at Grindelwald.
Grindelwald sighed softly, "I am old."
Hephis rolled his eyes. A guy who is not even a hundred years old said he was old. How could he believe it?
Grindelwald may have also realized that his reasons were a bit far-fetched.
"I haven't held a wand in many years, so now I'm just a slightly stronger old man."
Hephis was too lazy to expose him because he just didn't want to confront Dumbledore again!
"Okay! Then you just stay here and watch! Maybe someone will come and accompany you in the end."
There was a gleam in Grindelwald's eyes, "The wand in Dumbledore's hand is mine."
Hephis was a little surprised, and he thought: What's yours is yours.
