Hogwarts: The Book of Laws.

Austria.

Speaking of this country, in the Muggle world, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is Vienna, the prestigious cultural center of Europe and the music capital of the world.

This place not only gave birth to such musical giants as Mozart and Schubert.

There were also many powerful rulers who were famous in Europe.

And the world’s number one cat-walking madman, Uncle Schrödinger.

However, in the eyes of Muggles, they may never know the name 'Nurmengard' in their lives.

In the vast virgin forest of southern Austria, a tall tower stands.

The owner of this tower once brought endless fear and riots to the European magic world.

During that period, it was like a black curtain that covered the sky and the sun, and everyone could only tremble in the shadow of darkness.

But now, this tower has become a prison, and what's even more ridiculous is that the only prisoner inside is actually its owner!

Gellert Grindelwald!

He was imprisoned on the highest floor of the tower.

The first-generation Dark Lord now only has his ridiculous white hair like withered grass and furrowed wrinkles on his face.

No matter how you look at it, he looks like a dying old man, the kind that Arthur wouldn't dare to support when walking on the road.

Grindelwald leaned against the wall, his eyes closed and his expression peaceful.

People who don't know will definitely think that he is dead.

But people who know him know that as long as he doesn't want to die, no one can kill him.

In his spiritual world, there is a tower that is very similar to Nurmengard.

But this tower is tightly bound by countless chains.A transparent barrier blocked the tower's only entrance.The four talismans suspended on the top of the tower were extremely dim, as if they were about to disappear.

Grindelwald's spiritual body was standing in front, staring at his tower.

His face was wrapped in light and shadow, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

After a long time, he laughed inexplicably and said to himself, "It's almost time, haha..."

At this time, his mental body disappeared instantly.

Grindelwald sat up and opened his eyes.

Unlike his old appearance, his eyes are bright and lively.The black pupil of the left eye is calm and deep, and the white pupil of the right eye is evil and ghostly!

Both of his eyes were fixed on the ground.

In that place, there was a toad lying down somewhere! !

Grindelwald smiled and said in a dry tone: "Can you give me extra food, Nico?"

"This is not edible, Gellert." Toad opened his mouth to speak, "I spent a lot of effort to get in, and I can't stay here for too long."

"What's the matter?" Grindelwald tilted his head.

Toad said quickly: "The ring has found a new owner, codenamed 'Owl'."

Grindelwald's expression remained unchanged and he asked: "Does it have anything to do with me?"

"Of course, I need your help to find him." Toad said.

Grindelwald looked at him as if he were a fool. After a moment, he said in a strange tone: "Okay, dear Nico. See if there is anything I can do to help you.

Do you need me to give you half of this loaf of brown bread so that you can be full and have the strength to go find that dear Mr. or Miss Owl? "

Grindelwald picked up a loaf of black bread lying on the ground that looked like it could kill people, brought it to the toad's mouth and smacked it.

"Thank you, Gellert, I'm not hungry." Toad avoided the black and thick thing and said helplessly, "I need you to stay behind Durmstrang."

"Oh?"

"Because that kid is in a magic school."

"Child?" Grindelwald sounded slightly surprised, "Exposed so soon?"

"Yeah, now it's just a matter of finding out which school he's in," Toad replied.

Grindelwald thought for a moment and said, "I really want to help you, but I really don't have any backup options."

"Don't be like this, Gellert. Albus asked me to come." Toad launched a big move.

Sure enough, Grindelwald was stunned. He had not heard this name for many years, since 1945.

For a moment, he opened his mouth and laughed, but no sound came out.

Then he said: "Who is Albus?"

This time the toad was stunned. He didn't react until he saw the sarcasm on Grindelwald's lips and said, "Well, he didn't ask me to come. He never mentioned you again."

"But you should know my goal. On the whole, we are the same." Toad said unwillingly.

Grindelwald nodded and said, "That's true. But to a certain extent, we are also enemies."

Toad sighed, knowing there was no point in saying anything now.

"I'm curious, how are you doing now? How far has your 'ascension' reached?" Grindelwald asked again.

Toad didn't answer him. He thought about it, suddenly laughed and said, "If you are willing to help me, I can tell you some information about that person."

"Who?" Grindelwald narrowed his eyes.

"The person you are looking for." Toad's tone was full of meaning.

The pupil of Grindelwald's right eye suddenly shrank, and his dry fingers tapped the cold floor tiles unconsciously.

Then he shook his head and said, "I refuse."

"Well, it seems you have your own way." Toad said calmly, "If you need it, you can contact me at any time. I know you have that ability. I can also send you some news about Albus."

Grindelwald sat there calmly, saying nothing.

"You are so cold-blooded, Gellert. Can't even Albus impress you now?" Toad's tone was slightly mocking.

"Gellert and Albus both died that summer."

Grindelwald quietly looked out the window at the gloomy sky and said softly, "The only ones alive now are Grindelwald and Dumbledore. A madman and a paranoid."

Toad opened his mouth, but nothing came out.

"Feel sorry..."

For a long time, a sentence echoed in the empty prison, and Toad disappeared.

Grindelwald looked at the ground where the toad disappeared, and then searched carefully, as if to confirm whether the annoying old man had really left.

Then he dragged his old body to sit on the bed with difficulty.

He whispered something in his mouth.

Suddenly, a wisp of blue flame ignited on his dry fingertips.

The flame had just risen, and the sky in Nurmengard changed drastically. Countless lightning flashed in the sky, and then struck Grindelwald one after another!

The flame only burned for a second before being extinguished!

Grindelwald's body curled up in pain, but he opened his mouth wide and laughed silently, looking like a madman!

At the same time, in Durmstrang, one of the three magic schools in Europe, in a spacious office.

Sitting there was an old man wearing a gorgeous black and red robe, engrossed in writing something.

Suddenly, a blue flame flashed from his arm.

He raised his head suddenly and opened his sleeves, revealing his old arm. There used to be a tattoo there, but over the decades, the tattoo was almost invisible.

And now, where the flames burned, the tattoo was extremely bright!

Just like 45 years ago!

He quickly stretched out his finger and pressed it on the tattoo. A familiar voice sounded directly in his mind:

Find the current owner of the ring, 'Owl', in the magic school.He will be our ally for the greater good!

"For...the greater good!!"

The old man murmured to himself with tears in his eyes.
