Chapter 120 For the Greater Benefit (Additional update for all orders over 1,000)
"Grindelwald?"
Lockhart was a little surprised when he heard Dumbledore's words.
Gertler Grindelwald, the first Dark Lord, Dumbledore’s best friend, ‘lover’, and pioneer revolutionary in the wizarding world.
In his previous life, he had often heard people discuss Grindelwald's title.
But Dumbledore's sudden words left him a bit at a loss.
Could it be possible that he was regarded as the third generation Dark Lord?
When the thought came to his mind, he felt a little ridiculous.
If it is really the third generation Dark Lord, then there is no need to talk, he should be captured directly and sent to Azkaban.
but
With his thoughts turning, Lockhart quickly put away his irrelevant thoughts and listened to Principal Dumbledore.
"Principal, please tell me."
Dumbledore waved his wand, and a clear glass floated in front of Lockhart.
Immediately afterwards, honey surged from the glass.
"Don't worry, Lockhart, try the honey. Let's talk while tasting it."
As he spoke, some candies and snacks floated in front of the two of them.
Lockhart took a sip of honey and listened attentively to Dumbledore's story.
The gossip between Dumbledore and Grindelwald is a good opportunity to eat.
"Guettler Grindelwald, people of your age may not have much impression." Looking at Lockhart's movements, Dumbledore began to speak slowly: "After all, you were already two or three years old when you were born. Ten years.”
"However, you should all have heard of his name - the 1st Dark Lord."
At this point, Dumbledore paused, and Lockhart had a look of surprise on his face: "The first Dark Lord?"
"Yes!" Dumbledore nodded slightly.
"Do you know why he is called the Dark Lord?" Dumbledore asked.
"Is it because too many wizards died because of him?" Lockhart replied speculatively.
"Lockhart, you are right." Dumbledore nodded and affirmed: "Back then, not only wizards but also a large number of Muggles died because of him."
"What you know about World War II was actually Grindelwald supporting Hitler behind the scenes."
"The deaths of hundreds of millions of creatures are all related to him."
Hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed across Lockhart's face.
In his previous life, he only knew that Grindelwald started a war in the wizarding world, and a large number of wizards died as a result.
Unexpectedly, World War II also contained traces of Grindelwald.
"Do you know a slogan that the saints of Grindelwald often shouted back then?" Dumbledore said, without waiting for Lockhart to answer, he said slowly: "For the greater good."
"Gettler is a classic wizard supremacist."
"He believes that the threat of Muggles is too great. In order to ensure the safety of wizards, it is best for wizards to rule Muggles."
Hearing this, Lockhart nodded thoughtfully.
"What do you think of Gettler's point of view?" Dumbledore suddenly asked.
Lockhart pondered for a moment and said, "As a wizard, from the perspective of a wizard, I can understand Grindelwald's thoughts."
Then, Lockhart stopped talking. He was afraid that if he continued, Dumbledore would directly arrest him and throw him into Azkaban.
Lockhart did not continue, and Dumbledore was not disappointed. He continued: "The point he raised is very tempting."
"Wizards are supreme. No wizard would reject such a view."
"But he failed in the end, and do you know why?"
In response to Dumbledore's question, Lockhart seemed to reply very seriously: "Because you defeated Grindelwald."
"Let Grindelwald see no hope for the future."
Well, actually, the first sentence is perfunctory, and the latter sentence is Lockhart's answer after real thought.
Dumbledore's blow was minor.
Lockhart believes that the emergence of nuclear bombs made Grindelwald completely lose hope for the future.
His ideals were shattered, his loved one betrayed him, and he was besieged by the entire wizarding world. Finally, he chose to imprison himself in Nurmengard.
Otherwise, Lockhart might still be able to hear about Grindelwald's activities.
After all, for a top powerhouse, he is not afraid of betrayal or siege. The biggest fear is that he cannot see hope and what he has spent his whole life pursuing will become an illusion.
Few people can bear such a blow.
However, such people...as long as they see hope, they are crazier than anyone else.
Regarding Lockhart's answer, Dumbledore shook his head and spoke slowly with a serious attitude.
"Because he is against order."
Hogwarts, Defense Against the Dark Arts office.
After returning from the headmaster's office, Lockhart sat on the chair and began to revise his plan.
Dumbledore officially joined his magical research, which made him feel happy.
But the subsequent exchange kept him silent.
There were some holes in the plan, or maybe I thought of the enemy too simply.
As his thoughts turned, Lockhart felt a little stressed, but he was not too worried.
In the final analysis, strength is the final guarantee.
Being able to travel through the Marvel world, the upper limit of his strength is far beyond the imagination of all wizards.
You know, the Marvel world has existences across the multiverse.
After thinking for a moment, Lockhart took out Voldemort's Horcrux and placed it in front of him.
Through soul body projection, enter the soul space of the Horcrux in the soul state, and prepare to use the simulation function of the soul space to carry out magic research.
When the contract was signed, Lockhart was very satisfied with Tom's performance in all aspects.
He is worthy of being a hero - he who knows the current affairs is a hero!
Tuesday morning, Diagon Alley, Gringotts.
Lockhart stood at the door of Gringotts, looking at the words written on the bronze door, with the corners of his mouth raised in a sarcastic smile.
Come in, stranger, but be careful.
What will happen if you are greedy?
Just asking for something, getting something for nothing.
Will be punished the most severely...
This is a verse that describes the evil retribution that will befall a thief.
But what does Lockhart think?
They all feel like they reveal a sense of irony, about greed and asking for things.
Goblins are known for their greed for treasure, and they claim a lot of rights.
With his thoughts spinning, Lockhart gathered his thoughts and stepped directly through the bronze door and entered the spacious marble hall.
At a glance, behind the long counter, fairies were sitting on high stools, receiving batches of customers.
Lockhart glanced around the hall, found a place with the least number of people, and waited silently.
Tonight, Snape and I are going to attend a dark wizard auction. The level is very high and can be called top-notch.
There are a lot of good things in it, but it also requires more gold galleons.
This time I came to Gringotts mainly to get some gold Galleons and to take out all the things I had stored in Gringotts.
From now on, the goblin will most likely want to kill himself and store his belongings with his enemies.
How stupid can he be to do this?
Soon, it was his turn in the queue.
The goblin sitting on the high stool looked down at Lockhart in front of him and asked expressionlessly.
"Mr. Lockhart, what business do you wish to transact?"
Thank you for your support. The next equal order will be increased by 100, that is, 1100 will be added.
