The Troubles of the Holy Maiden [Comprehensive]

Chapter 150 The Dusty Past

Across the crowded crowd, Fran and Grindelwald standing on the high platform looked at each other from a distance, their blue eyes met, and Fran saw the surprise, helplessness and deep thought emerging from inside.

Fran pursed her lips. She didn't want to have anything to do with this newly emerging "big boss" in the wizarding world, so she turned around quickly and left, pretending that she had never shown up.

"What are you running for?"

After walking a few steps, Fran stood in front of a domineering Bingshan CEO with his arms folded and a face like someone owed him a million pounds.

Fran stood still and said ironically with a flat face: "If in your world, a speed of one meter per second is called running."

"Chi..." Grindelwald snorted coldly, and said lightly, "Come with me."

"You don't need to bewitch... Oh, no, are you trying to win over your juniors?" Fran raised her eyebrows slightly and said bluntly.

"Come with me, I have something I want to talk to you about." Grindelwald, who had already turned around, glanced at Fran indifferently, and added, "It's something important to both you and me."

Although Fran didn't want to have a close relationship with Grindelwald, who likes to be a father, Fran felt a little curious about the things he raised.Fran then cast an ignore spell on herself casually, and followed Grindelwald.

Greenwald's pace was neither too fast nor slow, and there was no conversation between the two of them, much less anything to say.Fran followed behind him helplessly, feeling that she was really too curious and self-inflicted.

Fran followed the inexplicably mysterious Grindelwald while admiring the scenery of Durmstrang to pass the time. After a while, I saw Grindelwald taking Fran to the mountain lake behind the castle, looking at the dark The lake water and the stranded broken ships are really creepy.

Grindelwald stopped and turned to look at Fran. He didn't speak immediately, but his expression was very complicated.Just when Fran was confused and impatiently wanted to slip away.Greenwald suddenly moved. He dug out a black crystal out of nowhere, injected magic power into it, and handed it to Fran.

"What are you doing?" Fran looked at Grindelwald inexplicably.

"You don't know this?" Greenwald frowned slightly, complaining: "It seems that wizard education in the United States is still not good, and the history is too short."

Pointing to the gemstone in his hand, he explained: "This is a special black crystal, which can absorb the magic power of the same source, and can be used to determine whether wizards are related by blood. In fact, there are more accurate determination methods for wizard families, but that requires Blood, I think you don't want to hand over blood to a strange foreign wizard? Then this is fine."

Fran looked at the serious black wizard in front of her speechlessly, and thought to herself: "So you are not really stupid to be a father casually, and you know that you need to verify it."That's okay, anyway, it's impossible to have a blood relationship, which proved that if he gave up his mind, he wouldn't recognize his son indiscriminately. '

Fran took the black crystal in Grindelwald's hand, and poured magic power into it at will.

With the input of magic power, a group of translucent magic power in the black crystal slowly changed color, becoming a strange red color, printed with translucent black crystal, which looked darker and more mysterious.

'red? Fran looked at the color-changing crystal and judged: "Red means warning, so it should mean that we are okay." With that in mind, Fran threw the gem to Greenwald.

Grindelwald stared at the gem, his mouth tightly pursed, and his stiff expression was full of indescribable complexity and embarrassment.

"Is it alright?" Fran asked lightly.

"Okay." Grindelwald clenched the sharp-edged black crystal in his hand, and his white knuckles revealed the intense emotion he was forcibly enduring.After a while, he sighed faintly and said, "You are my son..."

"What?" Fran frowned, thinking she had heard wrong.

Grindelwald opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, and finally could only repeat: "You are my son."

"That's impossible!" Fran immediately retorted, what a joke, when he came into this world, the great-great-great-grandfather of this brat Grindelwald hadn't been born yet, so he dared to be his daddy.

"I know it's difficult for you to accept this, but... you are really my son." Grindelwald spread his hands, revealing the reddish black crystal in his hands, and explained: "Our magic power is from the same source, This means that we have a common ancestor, but mine is a single lineage, so you can only be my son."

"Frank, whether you admit it or not, you are Frank Riddle Grindelwald."

'Same source of magic power? ! 'After hearing Grindelwald's explanation, Fran felt even more horrified. What she thought was not that she was Grindelwald's child, but...

'Could it be that someone has tampered with my magic power, and this cheap dad is actually my younger generation? ! '

"Wait, have your ancestors been in Germany?" Fran asked directly, feeling a little confused.

Grindelwald thought that Fran was asking himself about being a German, but he was born in the United States, so he explained with some embarrassment: "My... my ancestors have been active in Europe, but I went to the United States when I was young. I was young and frivolous back then, so..."

'Who wants to hear your relationship history?Speaking of frivolity, you're not much better now, are you? ! Fran couldn't help but rolled her eyes, speechless.

Grindelwald's face was sullen, and he spoke very fast: "These years, I didn't know you existed at all, but anyway, this is also my fault. If you don't want to call me dad, or even hate me, I can do it." I understand. However, I also hope to make it up to you..."

"Wait, Mr. Grindelwald." Fran interrupted Grindelwald who was talking to herself, and refused, "I think you may have misunderstood, I can't be your son, and I don't need anyone's son." compensate."

"Listen to me first." Grindelwald's attitude was very tough, and an old-school parent could not refuse.

"I know you like to study black magic. You came to Durmstrang from England for this, right?" Grindelwald said in a tone of emotion: "You are very similar to me, just like when I was young , whether it's appearance, talent, or hobbies..."

Fran was expressionless: 'No, I don't like black magic, and I'm not like you, you are just misled by countless coincidences. '

Grindelwald's expression became serious again, he stared at Fran, and warned: "However, the research of black magic is very dangerous, if you are not careful, it may cause irreparable consequences, and even harm the researcher." itself!"

"Frank, you don't have the guidance of your mentor, and you don't have the supervision of your parents. It is very irrational to conduct dangerous black magic experiments rashly! When I was young, I was expelled from school because my black magic experiments were exposed. "

"So? What do you want to say? Introduce your "glorious" history?" Fran asked blankly.

"I..." Grindelwald obviously didn't know how to get along with the cheap "son", his expression was awkward for a moment, and then he recovered.He thought for a moment, then said, "Come with me, I'll take you to a place."

'Again? Fran resisted the urge to roll her eyes, and really wanted to turn around and leave. Grindelwald's strange identity made her want to look up his family tree and ancestral grave now.

Seeing Fran's hidden impatience and lack of cooperation, Grindelwald pursed his lips and said temptingly: "Come with me, you will like it there, I promise."

Fran glanced at Greenwald with a serious face, nodded in agreement, and followed the big man who liked to walk, and finally came to the lake.

"Are you going to let me into the water? Are you serious?" Fran asked with the corners of her mouth pulled.

"Of course, I'm serious. The entrance is in the lake." Grindelwald added a bubble head spell to himself solemnly, and asked, "Do you need me to cast the spell for you?"

Fran pulled Grindelwald's arm speechlessly, and raised her hand to cast a waterproof barrier covering the two of them.

Grindelwald withdrew the Bubble Curse, and exclaimed: "Very good magic, very practical, but a bit of a waste of magic power, did you create it yourself?"

Fran pulled Greenwald into the lake, and said as she walked, "Old man, I'm supporting the barrier, and you lead the way."

---------------

The bottom of the mountain lake in Durmstrang is more complicated and darker than the bottom of the black lake at Hogwarts. The bottom of the lake here is full of aquatic plants, and the fish at the bottom are not small in size, and they all have thick fat, which looks quite delicious.This lake is very large, and there are many wrecks of ancient ships at the bottom of the lake. Schools of fish, large and small, shuttle among the wrecks, making the terrain here even more complicated and mysterious.

Grindelwald led Fran around, and stopped in a hidden corner behind a wreck of a ship. His hand groped on the mossy rock wall and turned a switch.Two turns to the right, three turns to the left, and one turn to the right.

With the slight tremor of the water waves, a large hole big enough to accommodate one person was opened on the rock wall, and it could be faintly seen that the cave was still filled with lake water.Fran followed Grindelwald through the hole. There was a tunnel inside, and the steps of the tunnel went up all the way, leading to nowhere.

As they walked up the steps, the pressure brought by the water became less and less. Finally, their heads came out of the water. Finally, they both left the water and stood on the slightly damp ground.

Fran looked around. Here is a circular cave that looks completely sealed, but the air is circulating. I don't know if it is a magic method or some hidden mechanism design.On the rock wall opposite the stairs, there seems to be a mechanism stone door, which looks like it has been around for some years.

'This... shouldn't be done by Grindelwald, this stone gate is at least hundreds of years old. '

Then, Fran saw Grindelwald take out a ring-shaped object from his sleeve and press it against the door.

The stone door rumbled open, and the dark room lit up instantly. Fran looked through the door, and could see a laboratory or workshop inside.

"Come in." Grindelwald walked into the stone gate while greeting Fran.

Entering the room behind the stone door, Fran was really surprised. This is an ancient room decorated in the middle ages. The room is very spacious. The walls are decorated with quaint magic lamps, the ceiling is carved with exquisite patterns, and there are bookcases and shelves inside. , desks, high-back chairs... and other furniture are all made of the finest wood and craftsmanship, exquisite and elegant, and extremely exquisite.The small experimental table in the back was actually made of a whole piece of obsidian, with several crystal bottles and brass plates scattered on it, as well as a delicate and small copper balance.

On the other side of the wall, there are several doors. Judging from the patterns on the doors, one should be an alchemy laboratory, another might be a room for making potions, one is a warehouse or something like that, and there is a blank one. The door, don't know what's inside.

"That's a bedroom, and no one has lived in it for a long time." Grindelwald said to Fran, pointing to a large bookcase against the wall and said: "I have studied all these magic books, and most of the experiments mentioned in it are my own. It has also been reproduced, and there are my notes in it, you can look at it casually."

"There are still some that are more dangerous. I think they should be treated with caution. I put them in the alchemy laboratory. If you want to study them in depth, you can tell me and I will take time to monitor them. There is a guardian circle in that room, which can To protect you, it is better to do dangerous experiments there."

"There are some magic materials in the warehouse, but some of them are old and have expired. You can tell me anything you need, and I will find it for you..."

Fran looked at Grindelwald, who was chattering like her old father, and felt a little complicated.She sorted out her thoughts and asked, "Is this the laboratory of Grindelwald's family?"

Grindelwald shook his head: "I don't know, neither my father nor my grandfather told me about this place. I just discovered it by accident when I was studying in Durmstrang, because of this..." He shook the phone in his hand Ring, said: "This ornament is the key to open this room. It is indeed from our ancestors, so I think it is probably the place left by our ancestors." He pointed to the books on the bookcase and said: "Those Most of the books are ancient books, and later I added some to my collection.”

"When I was in school, this was my secret base. I always used excuses to come to the lake for diving and swimming, but actually came here to study magic. Because I was nervous about my studies later, and the mountain was always too eye-catching when I ran to the lake, I put the experiment The material was brought back to the dormitory for research, and it was accidentally caught by the school."

Fran frowned slightly. She looked at the pendant in Grindelwald's hand and asked, "Can I see that key?"

Grindelwald handed over the key, and said as a matter of course: "It should have been passed on to you. I thought our family would come to an end in my generation."

Fran took the black ring-shaped pendant, and when she looked carefully, her pupils suddenly shrank.

"This is?!"

The author has something to say: Hahahaha, I don’t know what to write in the small theater, so let’s do this first~
