Chapter 540 The bad taste of two old guys

Grindelwald stood up, opened his arms slightly, and smiled gently.

"Welcome, friends who have come from afar."

His voice was unhurried and had an irresistible charm, as if an enthusiastic old man was welcoming everyone to visit.

"It's a pleasure to meet you all at this special moment." Grindelwald's eyes slowly swept across each face, as if he could see through their inner thoughts. "Please be casual and don't be nervous. No one in this castle is my enemy unless you choose to become my enemy."

His words were gentle and tolerant, but the last sentence made many representatives' hearts tremble and they involuntarily tensed their bodies.

Some people subconsciously took a half step back, while others pretended to be calm and looked directly at this legendary figure in the wizarding world who once dominated the world.

And Sebastian took a gentle step forward at this moment, with just the right smile on his face.

"I am truly flattered that Mr. Grindelwald is so welcoming even though I came to visit you without an invitation."

"You're welcome," Grindelwald raised his hand slightly, pointing his index finger at his eyes, with a faint smile on his lips. "I saw some images, so your visit is not abrupt to me. Please take a seat and let's chat slowly."

Listening to Grindelwald's words, the representatives were shocked, and all kinds of rumors about Grindelwald flashed through their minds - not only his past full of blood and war, but also his terrifying gift of prophecy.

Under those eyes, no secret can be hidden.

"The castle seems a little deserted," Sebastian said as he sat opposite Grindelwald, a meaningful smile on his face, "It doesn't quite match your status."

"What's the point of status?" Grindelwald chuckled and said lazily, "I'm just an old man. The castle is too lively and I find it noisy."

"It's best this way, it's quiet! And I'm not alone."

Before he finished speaking, the door to the reception room quietly opened.

A middle-aged wizard in exquisite butler's clothes walked in slowly, holding a carved silver tray. His manners were elegant and proper, just like a well-trained old-school British butler.

His expression was calm and his eyes swept across the crowd gently, then he poured fragrant black tea for the representatives present one by one.

When he came in front of Sebastian, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a perfectly appropriate smile.

"Dear guest, this is your black tea."

The corners of Sebastian's eyes twitched uncontrollably and he made a speechless expression to the butler. Fortunately, he was sitting at the front of the crowd with his back to everyone, so no one except Grindelwald and the butler could see his expression.

This middle-aged butler was none other than Dumbledore, who was disguised using Transfiguration.

Sebastian had sensed the other party's presence a long time ago, but he never thought that Dumbledore would appear in front of everyone so openly and play the role of Grindelwald's butler?

This Old Deng has completely let himself go since he went offline.

Are you happy to be naughty?

What is this? A play between two old guys who are over 200 years old? And we are just a part of your play?

Two naughty old guys!

"Thank you!" Sebastian had a thousand words to complain in his heart, but he still held it back, said thank you softly, then picked up the black tea and took a sip in silence.

It would be a waste not to drink the tea poured by Dumbledore himself. You didn't have this kind of treatment before in Hogwarts.

"Mr. Grindelwald, I didn't expect that there was another person in the castle besides you..."

"Oh," Grindelwald said with a smile, "This is my butler. After all, I am over a hundred years old, and my legs and feet are not as convenient as when I was young. It will be much more convenient to have a young man to take care of my daily life."

Hearing this, before Sebastian could say anything, some representatives behind him couldn't help coughing.

My legs and feet are so inconvenient!

We just saw on the news that you were so fierce when fighting with the mysterious man, you don’t look like you are over a hundred years old at all.

The representatives did not believe what Grindelwald said. They just silently memorized the characteristics of the middle-aged man and planned to find out who this person was after returning.

Although it is not clear now, this person must be a key figure among the Saints and we must be vigilant.

Dumbledore didn't stay long and left the reception room after a joke. Seeing this, Sebastian stopped talking nonsense and went straight to the point.

"Mr. Grindelwald, we came here today to talk to you. The Saints have occupied Gringotts in various places. What are your plans next?"

"Don't worry!" Grindelwald waved his hand gently. "We have no intention of stirring up trouble in the wizarding world. We just couldn't stand seeing Tom mess up the wizarding world, so we came out to save the situation."

"Like I said in front of the camera before, I came back this time only to protect you!"

guard?

The representatives looked at each other in confusion. Do you believe such a high-sounding reason?

If you can guard Gringotts today, you will dare to guard the Ministry of Magic of various countries tomorrow.

This thing may be fine for fooling ghosts, but it would be unkind of you to use it to fool us.

Even if we take a step back, how can we, the small characters, deserve your protection?

Seeing the representatives' disapproving faces, Grindelwald smiled gently.

"You may have forgotten that I am over a hundred years old, and the saints who are most loyal to me are also very old."

"Neither I nor those old guys have the energy to make trouble anymore. Most of those guarding Gringotts are those old guys and their nephews and nieces."

"They have their own stable lives. It is only because they agree with my ideals that they once again wear the title of saints and come out to protect the magic world."

"Don't forget, the wizarding world is yours, but it is also ours. This is our home, and no one wants to see their home messed up."

"Honestly," Grindelwald paused and said teasingly, "If you guys weren't so incompetent, I wouldn't want to disrupt my peaceful life and step into the spotlight again."

"If I really wanted to disrupt the wizarding world, I would not stay in Nurmengard and let you come to me so easily."

this......

Given Grindelwald's abilities, if he wanted to hide, no one would be able to find him for a while.

What about the guard?

Listening to Grindelwald's earnest words, the representatives hesitated, unable to tell whether they were sincere or not.

"Mr. Grindelwald," Akinbad couldn't help but ask, "In that case, can you let the Saints evacuate Gringotts?"
