Chapter 130 The Deathly Hallows

"The Elder Wand is the most powerful wand in the world." Grindelwald's voice was solemn.

"When Dumbledore uses it, it surpasses everyone else."

"The Elder Wand?" Hephis still didn't quite understand.

"Are you familiar with the wizarding fable 'The Tale of the Three Brothers'?" Grindelwald asked.

Hephis shook his head.

Grindelwald took a deep breath and began to tell the wizard fable - "The Tale of the Three Brothers".

"Once upon a time there were three brothers. They met the god of death."

"The God of Death praised their strength and promised to reward each of them with a prize."

"The eldest was extremely warlike, and he asked for the most powerful wand in the world. Death cut off a branch from a tree, made it into a wand, and gave it to the eldest."

"The second son was very arrogant. He wanted to have the power to challenge the god of death and asked for the ability to summon the dead back from him. The god of death picked up a stone and gave it to the second son. This stone can revive the dead."

"The third child was the smartest. He knew how terrible the god of death was, so he asked the god of death to give him something that could help him escape from death. The god of death had to give him his cloak very reluctantly."

Grindelwald drew three symbols on a piece of parchment: a vertical line, a circle, and a triangle.

"These are the symbols of the Deathly Hallows - the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone and the Invisibility Cloak."

"It is said that anyone who gathers these three holy artifacts can defeat death."

Hephis suddenly realized, "You just mentioned that the Elder Wand is in Dumbledore's hand, which means that these three items exist."

"Yes, I am not interested in the Resurrection Stone or the Invisibility Cloak. I only found the Elder Wand."

There was a hint of yearning in Grindelwald's voice, but then it became calm again.

Hephis took a deep breath and said, "Can collecting these three things really defeat death?"

"I don't know." Grindelwald shook his head.

"I do have a way to defeat Dumbledore, but I don't know if you're willing to help." Hephis said calmly.

"Oh, how can I help you?" Grindelwald's eyes flashed with curiosity.

He knew Dumbledore's strength, and this little guy dared to say such things.

You know, even now, his magic power is still growing.

However, given his lack of exercise for a long time, it is unlikely that he would pose any threat to Dumbledore.

Hephis looked Grindelwald straight in the eyes, "I need something from you."

Grindelwald replied without hesitation: "Yes, even my life."

"Ahem, that's not necessary. On the contrary, I hope you can live longer." Hephis looked at him seriously.

"Tell me! What is it?" Grindelwald said indifferently.

"Your shadow." Although Hephis had just met this old man, he had some understanding of him.

Grindelwald is the kind of person who puts his ideals above all else.

Although there is no guarantee that he won't take action for Dumbledore.

But at least before facing Dumbledore, he can still be trusted.

"Shadow?" Grindelwald was slightly stunned, looked down at his own shadow, and fell into deep thought.

"I saw a shadow looming over the prophecy, and I always thought it was just a foreshadowing."

He raised his head, a strange light flashing in his eyes, "So this is your ability!"

Hephis nodded, "Yes, I can control the shadow and use it for my own benefit."

"Then take it! I said, I can give you anything I can provide." Grindelwald smiled slightly, "What do you need me to do?"

"Just take a rest." Hephis almost drooled as he looked at Grindelwald's shadow.

This is Grindelwald's shadow. If he gets it, how can he lose?

A pair of large black scissors appeared out of thin air in his hand, and Grindelwald's shadow also floated up.

Hephis cut it one by one, and each cut was extremely smooth, and the feeling was similar to when he cut Snape's shadow.

He didn't believe it because the old man had degenerated to the same level as Snape.

Then there is only one explanation, this old man is sincere.

Hephis put away the small black ball in his hand and said, "I'll take your shadow."

Grindelwald smiled and nodded.

"There is one more thing I need to remind you of." Hephis looked at the only window in the room.

"From now on, you can't bask in the sun anymore."

"Oh? What will happen if it is exposed to the sun?" Grindelwald asked curiously.

Hephis stared at Grindelwald and said seriously, "He will die."

Grindelwald's eyes flashed with surprise. "Rule-based magic, not bad. I have more confidence in you."

"You'd better be careful!" Hephis shrugged.

"Don't worry, I can still handle this little thing." Grindelwald waved his hand, and a layer of shadow suddenly covered the window.

Hephis rolled his eyes. He was so good at wandless and silent spellcasting, yet he still dared to say that he was just a slightly stronger old man.

"By the way, can you tell me why you let Vida and the others make the movie?" Grindelwald's eyes flashed with curiosity.

"Of course it's okay if you don't want to say it, but I rarely hear Vida complain about something like this."

The corners of Hephis' mouth curled up in a playful arc, "Oh? What did she say?"

Grindelwald seemed to have remembered something funny and laughed.

"What else could it be? It's too difficult. They are being scolded by the director every day."

Hefeth thought about it and felt that this was indeed possible.

Although Vida and the others are mainly stand-ins, after taking the Polyjuice Potion, their faces can appear directly in front of the camera, so a lot of shots of themselves are definitely needed.

"Not bad. Being scolded by a Muggle and still just complaining, it seems they are very loyal to you."

Grindelwald sighed softly, "Vida... Can you accept the Saints? They have been following me and have suffered so much these years."

"Maybe one day, I will." Hephis made a promise to Grindelwald.

Grindelwald's eyes flashed with relief, "Okay, I believe that if they follow you, they will definitely have a better future."

Hephis then explained to Grindelwald the original intention of making the film and the potential impact of cultural invasion.

Grindelwald was shocked. "Did you learn all this from The Qin Empire?"

Hephis nodded, "Yes, the wisdom of our ancestors."

Grindelwald said seriously: "I am trying hard to learn Chinese now. When I learn it, I will read it carefully."

Then they chatted for a while.

I have to say, Grindelwald is indeed very charming.

When Hefeis chatted with him, he only had one feeling, that is comfort.

He didn't stay too long. After all, it's better for the elderly to rest early.

So he said goodbye quickly, but he already had a place in Nurmengard, so it would be very convenient for him to go there whenever he wanted.
