(Austria, Nurmengard Snow Mountain Castle.)
"For the Greater Good"
Looking at the slogan engraved on the gate of the castle Lucas chuckled lightly: "Aunt Vinda, you can start now."
Vinda took out her wand without hesitation and a silver light flew into the sky.
~boom!~
The rays of light exploded, and a sign unique to the Alliance appeared in the sky.
Lucas looked at the two capital G's back to back next to the Hallows sign.
It is suspected that Grindelwald incorporated his initials into it. Although the other party does not wish to admit it.
The Alliance mark reappears. Whether it is an acolyte who believes in Grindelwald or the wizards of the Ministry of Magic in nearby countries were all surprised.
These people set off to the place where the mark appeared.
...
As the former headquarters of the Alliance, Nurmengard Castle is very large, and Grindelwald is self-imprisoned in the top tower of the castle.
"Lucas, have you really decided to go to Hogwarts? We have very little influence in England, and I'm worried that you might be in danger over there."
Lucas is slowly exploring the castle in front of him.
Upon hearing Vinda's worried words, he smiled and said: "It's not just me, but we are all going, thank dad for his decision not to attack England all those years ago."
"So, if we enter England, the British magic community has no reason to refuse, after all, we are legal businessmen now."
"Compared with other countries, I think England is more suitable for our development."
Of course Vinda understood this too, it's just that because Dumbledore is in England, the acolytes try to stay away from that land.
Not long after, the two came to the tower of the castle.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the exploration achievement: Nurmengard Castle, and obtaining 50 achievement points.]
[Because the host obtained achievement points for the first time, triggering ten times critical strike, reward change: 500 achievement points.]
~Tsk!~
Lucas looked slightly dissatisfied.
'If I knew that there would be a critical reward for the first achievement. I would go to a more valuable place.'
"Dad, how have you been lately?"
Lucas opened the wooden door and asked Gellert, who was sitting on the bed in a daze.
"It's not bad. Recently, I was recalling the past and got some new insights."
Although he is 108 years old Gellert Grindelwald looked like he was in his eighties or nineties at most.
Thanks to Lucas' intervention the other party is not as miserable as in the original book.
The prison cell is full of warmth after many renovations and the bookshelves all around are also filled with books that can be used for entertainment.
Lucas crouched in front of him. Looking at the pair of blue eyes that were the same as his own, he said.
"Dad, decades have passed, are you still imprisoning yourself in this ghost place? We need you, the Alliance needs you."
It took Grindelwald a while to reply, "Is there any trouble?"
Seeing him change the topic again, Vinda's eyes at the door were a little dim.
Lucas had expected it a long time ago, got up and pretended to be relaxed and said.
"It's nothing, it's just that stores in places such as Berlin and Paris have been raided for various reasons."
"In addition, the Ministry of Magic of the two countries seems to be planning to take me back."
Seeing a wave in Grindelwald's eyes. Lucas' lips curled up a bit.
The cell has been quiet ever since. After a while, he heard Grindelwald say: "You are not a person who swallows your anger, what are you going to do next?"
"Dad, what do you think of me taking people to the two countries to make a big fuss?"
"Hehe, let's not mention that your magic power is still at the level of a child, even those people may not obey your orders, right?"
"So, do you have any good advice?"
Grindelwald raised his head and stared at the boy in front of him.
"Love, love is the most powerful magic in this world, Lucas, maybe you can try to influence them."
"Is this the new insight you got recently?"
Grindelwald gazed at him and nodded slowly.
Lucas looked back to the door in surprise.
"Merlin's beard, aunt Vinda, come and see, dad is being controlled by that old bee with the Imperius Curse."
"No, I must go look for Dumbledore to settle the score."
Looking at Lucas who was yelling, Vinda showed a dumbfounded expression.
After playing around, Lucas looked at his father seriously.
"Dad, it seems that our ideas coincide. England is indeed a good place."
Grindelwald was still playing dumb.
"Indeed, Albus is best at the magic of love, where he is said to have defeated a young man known as the Dark Lord, which is truly remarkable."
"Lucas, when you arrive in England, you will communicate with Dumbledore more, maybe you can understand what love is."
Lucas rolled his eyes, got up and walked out.
When he stepped out of the door, he suddenly stopped and said.
"don't worry, I will say hello to that old bee on your behalf. If possible, how about I tie him and bring him back for you?"
Grindelwald's eyes finally changed slightly which made Lucas chuckle a bit.
Then he bowed slowly to Grindelwald: "For the greater good!"
[Congratulations to the host for completing an important achievement: Inheritance from father to son, reward: 500 achievement points.]
Getting out of the cell, Lucas came to a room downstairs.
Such a huge Nurmengard Castle is Grindelwald's prison alone. Except for the tower, other buildings can be used normally.
Lucas sat on a large high-backed chair, enjoying coffee while waiting for the other members to arrive.
"System, start the lottery immediately."
[Platinum prize pool, each draw requires 200 achievement points, the host can draw five times in a row, may I ask if you want to draw a lottery.]
"yes."
As soon as the words fell, a pool made of stones appeared in front of Lucas.
Five rays of light flew out from the pool and one of them bloomed with a dazzling platinum color.
