Hogwarts in the shadows

Dumbledore would naturally not forget the original intention of this trip.

"Gellert, what does the future look like in your eyes?"

"The future!" Grindelwald slowly sat up and looked into Dumbledore's eyes. "Do you think wizards still have a future?"

Dumbledore was slightly startled, but soon understood what he meant.

"Wizards have taken root in this land for thousands of years and will always survive."

"Survival? What a pathetic word!" Grindelwald shook his head in disdain, a hint of sneer on his lips, "Like a rat in a gutter?"

"Does a war have to happen?" Dumbledore's beard began to tremble, and his voice was filled with a hint of pleading. "Is it... is there really no other way?"

"Solution?" Grindelwald sneered. "I once thought of a solution, but you stopped me, didn't you?"

"We cannot enslave..." Dumbledore wanted to argue.

Grindelwald burst into laughter, interrupting Dumbledore's words.

"Albus, you are really ridiculous. Aren't there enough slaves among wizards?" He stared at Dumbledore, as if he wanted to see through him.

"House-elves, goblins, centaurs, even dragons and various magical creatures, aren't they intelligent creatures?"

He held out his fist, raising a finger with each word.

Dumbledore was still unwilling to give up: "But Muggles are the same as us. Even wizards were born from them."

"Doesn't slavery exist among the same kind?" Grindelwald rubbed his head and said in a long voice, "For example, black people."

Dumbledore opened his mouth, but closed it again.

Grindelwald patiently explained to him: "In fact, different races can still coexist, and even live together as equals in the future. But wizards and Muggles cannot."

"Why not?" Dumbledore asked dejectedly.

"If Muggles knew about the existence of wizards, you can't imagine how afraid they would be of them." Grindelwald paused before continuing, "The most direct way to eliminate fear is to completely eliminate the source of fear."

"One Imperius Curse can control the head of a country."

"An Apparition wizard can appear anywhere to carry out the assassination."

"Do you think the heads of those countries would allow such people to exist?"

"Need me to give you more examples, Albus?"

Dumbledore was silent for a moment before he spoke slowly: "But both the Imperius Curse and the Apparition have their limitations."

Grindelwald sneered: "But you can't explain this to the people of the world. Even if they all believe what you say, will they allow wizards to exist?"

Dumbledore's voice was very low, as if he was only asking himself, "Is it really impossible to solve this problem through communication?"

"Albus, you are as naive as a child. Negotiations are based on equal strength." Grindelwald sighed, "Today's wizards are too weak."

In the following time, Grindelwald said a lot more.

Dumbledore seemed to be conquered by the "water", but no one knew what he was really thinking.

Murphys is traveling with the filming crew in faraway Nepal.

He was about to go out and check on the Muggles in the team as usual.

But as soon as he stepped over the threshold, he fell to the ground.

Director Pitt had just been freed from the Imperius Curse, and the memories of being manipulated for more than half a year made him sweat profusely.

Those memories were clearly his own experiences, yet they felt so strange, as if he was just a bystander.

He saw fifty-foot dragons and twenty-foot trolls.

There is also a wizard who holds a small wooden stick and can shoot out different colors with just a wave of his hand.

These scenes filled his heart with fear and anxiety.

His hands and feet began to feel cold.

Pete wanted to escape from this weird place.

He hurriedly stuffed the money into his backpack and drove a jeep towards the center of Nepal.

At the same time, several core members of the filming team also woke up one after another.

Unlike Pete, they did not choose to escape, but spread the truth in the camp and tried to save more people.

When Vida learned the news, he immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.

She quickly organized her forces to regain control of those who were controlled by the Imperius Curse.

And she sent three groups of people to hunt down Pete who had already escaped.

After arranging everything, Vida put away Morpheus's alchemical doll and went to Nurmengard.

When she arrived, she saw that the top of the tower was brightly lit.

A sign also appeared at the door, a sign that only saints could see.

Vader thought with his butt and knew that Dumbledore was on top.

She hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not climb the tower.

After returning to Nepal, Vida discovered that Pete had been recaptured.

But the trouble was, he made multiple calls for help while escaping.

Although many people thought that this was just the director's imagination, some departments had to take action because of Pitt's nationality.

At this time, personnel from multiple departments were rushing to the filming base.

Vida could only continue to assign tasks and do the aftermath.

However, this matter was still reported to higher authorities by someone with ulterior motives.

The subsequent troubles are still brewing.

Vida knew that Morpheus was the consciousness of Hephis's clone.

This means that Hephesus may have encountered some kind of accident, otherwise it would not have happened so suddenly.

In fact, Vida didn't care about Hephis's life or death. After all, she always obeyed Gellert.

She even thought it was good news for them saints.

Although Gellert had not told her about Hephis's plan.

But from a few brief exchanges, she could tell that Gellert agreed with Hephis's plan.

If Hephaestus is really dead, Gellert will definitely come out again and complete Hephaestus's will.

Gellert will surely lead the Saints back onto the stage of history.

With this in mind, Vida was not in a hurry to inform Gellert about this matter.

Now she just needs to wait quietly.

In Hepherd's bedroom at Hogwarts.

When flames started burning on Hephaestus, Fox woke up.

It looked at the flame on Hephes' body curiously, and it could feel that the flame came from the same source as itself.

Even the aura emanating from Hephis at this moment made it feel an involuntary sense of closeness.

Fox tilted his head, staring at Hephes without blinking.

It suddenly saw the flames on Hephaestus begin to twist.

At this moment, Fox felt like a thousand horses were passing through his mind.

It really doesn't understand why such a thing would happen to a human being.
