Chapter 70 Secret
Chapter 70 Secret
Even without opening the envelope, Mu Yu still received the burning heat from the letter. She was never too curious about the foreseeable results, let alone there was no time to be curious now.
Avides on the other side trembled. He held up the thin piece of parchment in his hand, but because he was too nervous, the thin piece of paper fell to the table several times. He looked at the figure in front of him, and his voice was as trembling as his hands: "This, this..."
"At least dozens of Muggles have proven that this thing is feasible. Of course, there are also differences in talent among Muggles. What a pity. Even if there is such a treasure, some Muggles can only be Muggles." Tom Riddle was still very disdainful when he mentioned Muggles, but he unknowingly used Mu Yu's usual calm tone, which only made Ah. Vaders was even more in awe of him. If the Dark Lord in the summer was just a slightly better soul than the ghost, then he was even more unpredictable and powerful now. Avides couldn't even look into those red eyes. He is more dangerous than Grindelwald.
"I don't want to belittle your old master." Even though he tried his best to restrain himself, he still showed a trace of disdain when he mentioned Grindelwald. "Muggles are not like a bunch of scarecrows standing in the field waiting for you to mess with them." . Blindly hitting the stone with eggs will only accelerate the extinction of wizards. Why not start from the other side
? "When he said this, Avides' heartbeat seemed to stop, and he looked out of the corner of his eye. He had never left Mu Yu, and Mu Yu had been particularly quiet since the beginning of their conversation. Alesund is particularly dead under the polar night, and the thick darkness obscures all the beauty of this town. She likes this darkness. Darkness means dawn that will never come.
"Artificial promotion is always artificial promotion. They can't surpass the real wizards. It's a pity that people always only want to see what they want to see and chase what they want to chase." Mu Yu seemed to be talking to them, and As if whispering into the air, "Have you ever gone to Nurmengard to visit Grindelwald? Does your lord still hold on to the same faith as you do?"
She was urging him to really give an answer. Avides crossed his hands tightly, and it was only then that he realized that what he said about gods in the Norwegian airport in the summer was not the arrogant words of a thirteen-year-old girl. There was no point in dwelling on it anymore, they had already waited long enough.
How could they not have been to Nurmengard? In the past few decades, they had risked their way there more than once, but failed to even get in. It was Grindelwald who actively rejected them.
Grindelwald had already begun to repent, perhaps for For the sake of his own soul, perhaps for more complicated factors, he never thought about their ideals, and did not care where their souls should be placed.
Repentance is the beginning of the gods falling from the altar.
"Grindelwald is just Greene DeVoe." He met the red eyes with difficulty and bowed deeply, "Please allow us to follow you."
Tom Riddle was not moved by his remarks. At that time, there were too many people groveling in front of him. They kept saying that they were willing to follow him and regard him as their lifelong belief. Yet they couldn't even believe he could make a comeback. Avides's so-called oath of allegiance at this time was only for his own ideals.
He was suddenly stunned. When did he start to fully accept Mu Yu's point of view and weave ideals for others.
"Your partner's answer will be more convincing than verbal loyalty. Avides." He said, "I want to know the secret of Norway."
Avides shook even harder, he had vaguely expected it. The secret beneath Norway will be the beginning of the world's upheaval. He was excited, but also fearful and uneasy. It was clear that the wish they had dreamed of for decades could see the light of day, but he began to hesitate.
"Don't be afraid. You have the courage to do so many things, why are you still timid now?" Mu Yu's gentle voice sounded like the murmur of a devil to Avides.
He stood up slowly, walked to a table in the corner of the coffee shop in an extremely unnatural way, took out his wand and recited the incantation he had recited countless times: "abrirpatentibus". The round table slowly moved from the middle. They separated, revealing a deep staircase leading to an unknown place. Arvides stepped back and motioned for them to go ahead.
Mu Yu was not in a hurry to continue, she was more interested in the design of the entire mechanism. She had never noticed this inconspicuous round table before, and it was hard to imagine that such a secret was hidden in this small and messy cafe.
"Together." Tom Riddle was already standing beside her at some point. He stretched out his hand to her as before, even though he knew that what Mu Yu would hold would only be nothingness. Mu Yu just looked at him calmly. Avides was unwilling to look into those eyes out of fear. Mu Yu was never afraid. She seemed to be looking for something, but also seemed to be confirming something. Her hand stayed on the jade pendant around her waist: "Okay."
They stepped into the long stairs together. The dim lights in the cafe were gradually swallowed up by the shadows spreading from the stairs.
Arvides walked thoughtfully behind them.
Under the stairs is a long and winding tunnel. All sounds seemed to be cut off here, and there were only weak torches lit on both sides of the tunnel, barely able to illuminate the road ahead. Mu Yu released Nagini when he went down to the tunnel. Even the sound of the giant snake crawling on the ground was infinitely amplified by the empty tunnel. No one spoke. It's possible that in pursuing his faith, he unintentionally opened another Pandora's box. But so what, his beliefs and ideals have already isolated him from the entire world.
The entire secret passage looks like a jar standing on its side. After turning one bend after another, the long and narrow tunnel gradually became wider, and the low ceiling above the head also extended to higher places. The light suddenly brightened at the end of the tunnel. Under the huge dome is a huge production line. Precise and complex instruments are displayed on both sides of the assembly line. There is magic attached to the instrument, and the warheads slide down to the assembly line at a slow speed one by one, and enter another space through a window at the end. There is an exquisite iron door in the corner with at least dozens of locks on it. The other space should be more mysterious.
Avides walked to the iron door, pointed his wand at the upper right corner of the iron door and recited a series of complex and obscure spells, and then the precise locks slowly rotated. He explained to himself: "This door was bought from the goblin."
The assembly line did not stop behind the iron door. At this time, the two sides of the assembly line were no longer the instruments, but groups of silvery white. aperture. After the previous warheads automatically flowed into the aperture, the aperture was covered with at least dozens of magics. When they came in, the aperture had completed production, and a cold weapon with a silvery luster emerged from the aperture.
"A product of Muggles." Mu Yu said softly.
A former disciple of Grindelwald, he spent decades studying the world of ordinary people. Only then did Mu Yu understand why everyone said that the Norwegian Minister of Magic had no achievements and that the Ministry of Magic had no prestige in the Nordic wizarding world. Decades have been spent studying mechanical principles, so what energy do they have to worry about the wizarding world? From that circle of light, she has detected no less than ten complex and profound transformation techniques.
"We have done experiments. The power of these weapons depends on the individual's magic power. The stronger the individual's power, the greater the power. But there is an upper limit to the power that can be exerted. For powerful wizards, wands are the easiest to use. At least Squibs can use them. "Arvides explained carefully, knowing very well how much this man hated Muggles.
"How ridiculous." Tom Riddle chuckled, "Hogwarts is still teaching students how to turn teacups into mice. It's simply an insult to the wand."
To the right of the production line are laboratories after laboratories. There were several figures in robes busy inside, and the tables on the wall were filled with dense drawings, marked with piles of profound data. Mu Yu also saw someone holding a spiritual stone and observing it repeatedly.
Avides sighed heavily and looked at the enthusiastic figures in the laboratory: "We are the most talented children he carefully selected back then. Some people know nothing about other things except study and research. There is no top class like me." Those who learn talents are committed to ensuring the normal operation of this place."
"You have been indoctrinated from the beginning to be loyal to Grindelwald and to dedicate everything to him." Mu Yu pointed out unceremoniously.
"No," no. Thinking of Avides being extremely firm on this issue, "Our lives can only be sacrificed to the greatest interests, and we are born for the greatest interests."
When he mentioned the greatest interests, his whole life They all seemed to be glowing. He paused for a few seconds before continuing: "He made a prophecy and showed us the weapons invented by Muggles. In self-isolation, wizards have lagged behind Muggles for at least hundreds of years. If this continues, Our world can only go to extinction. In order to save our world and protect our homeland, we sneaked into the Muggle world, used the Imperius Curse and Veritaserum to pry out the Muggle secrets, combined them with transfiguration, and finally concentrated them. It has become our own production machine," he sighed as he looked at the circles of light. "Unfortunately, by the time he saw the results, he had already..."
"He was defeated by Dumbledore," Mu Yu continued.
"Did he really get defeated by Dumbledore?" He laughed strangely. "Several important links failed. The negotiation with the Muggle leader has never been pleasant. No matter how remarkable Norway's achievements were at that time, It's just a prototype."
Before Mu Yu could think more, they arrived at the end of the space.
"Our greatest invention." He bowed again to express his respect. In other words, all his actions from the moment of the showdown, so Every word spoken demonstrates willing surrender.
The greatest invention is not an earth-shattering weapon, but just a pile of floating spell symbols.
Piles of complex symbols rotate one after another, exuding a gray atmosphere.
"This spell It's full of destruction." Mu Yu stopped walking nearly one meter away from the spell, "But it's not complete."
"It's not complete," Avides's expression was hidden in the shadows. Great clarity, "This spell can destroy all the heavy weapons that Muggles are proud of at once. For it, a dozen people voluntarily sacrificed all their lives and magic power."
He said as if he didn't feel sorry for those dozen people at all. On the contrary, they felt that this was a great honor for them.
"It's a pity that it's always a little bit worse."
"The difference is the essence of the earth veins." Mu Yu said quickly. The things hidden underground in Norway far exceeded her expectations, but not now. When she was shocked, she only needed to know that this basement must be an absolutely reliable trump card, hiding the deepest secrets.
This place alone is enough to outline the blueprint of an ideal world.
"I don't understand how you did it. There must be extremely complicated things behind it. principle. But such complicated spells can no longer be completed by manpower. They need to borrow power from nature to continuously support the casting of spells. Earth veins, earth veins, are usually the best geomantic treasures..."
"Grindelwald will not pick one randomly. This place serves as his secret base." Tom Riddle didn't say much since he came in. Mu Yu used to think that he was afraid of Norway, and she almost thought of the most euphemistic way to say it.
He was still very contemptuous of Grindelwald, but As if he was full of curiosity and fun about everything here: "Don't be nervous, Avides, I have always been kind and will not blame you for hiding."
The giant snake that had been quietly coiled in the corner now stood up and faced him Hissed the letter. Only then did Avides realize who he was facing. He was the most dangerous dark wizard in history who turned Britain upside down more than a decade ago. Many people did not even dare to mention his name.
Even if there is only a ray of soul left now, he has no doubt that he will make a comeback, stronger and more dangerous than before.
His back is soaked.
"Aalesund is indeed, close to Durmstrang. It's just that The middle passage has never been opened. We, we don't have the energy to go again..."
"Why are you so anxious to explain my friend?" He looked down at the man in front of him who had almost reduced himself to dust, and soon lost sight of him. Instead, he looked at Mu Yu who was standing aside and seemed to be watching a show. "I thought there was no need for panicked explanations due to absolute loyalty."
Without further ado, Mu Yu stood beside him consciously. At this time, she There is really no need to say anything more. Some things would be more suitable for Tom to do.
"You just need to answer my question," his tone became more diplomatic, "Are you still willing to dedicate everything for the greater good or are you willing to work with you? " My old master rotted and stinked in prison like that."
"Our past, present, and future all belong to the great interests."
"I understand, I understand," he stroked the top of his head as if coaxing a child. The tone became more and more ethereal, "So we gave that spell, we are watching over the greater interests, and we are also guarding the ideals of you lambs."
He ignored Avides' momentary confusion: "I am very satisfied with Norway's Secret, I won’t blame you for using part of the excavated mineral vein as the source to support the production chain. The legal vein attached to that mineral vein can even be my reward for you. A well-behaved and docile lamb always deserves the highest price. Reward."
Avides trembled slightly, all his mind was taken away by the word inheritance. It turned out that it turned out to be inheritance. It's almost every wizard's dream.
"I also understand the despair of being rejected at the gate of Nurmengard. He abandoned you, right? Your former gods, your former shepherds," he almost muttered to himself, referring to Nurmengard. Avides finally couldn't help but sob softly when he was in Gadda.
"But we will not abandon you. Our pasture will continue to expand. Starting from Europe, one day it will extend along the mountains and plains to the easternmost part of the continent. It will also float along the waves to every corner of the ocean. By then, each of you will be walking in the sunshine with integrity, instead of nesting like mice in the underground of Norway. You are the indispensable soul of the new era, and He will be the one closest to God."
He told us one by one. Mu Yu blinked, unwilling to think too much at this time.
"Are you willing to accept this honor in order to protect the greatest interests and for your ideals. "
" We will never betray you. "We have already represented the position of the entire Grindelwald group headed by Arvids. This time his worship was many times more sincere than before.
"Get up, Tom Riddle. Wandering leisurely in this secret underground space, "Your achievements are undoubtedly valuable. It's time to expand them. Although house elves are despicable, they can still be of some use."
This time it's not just Arvidus. , even Mu Yu looked at him in surprise. She would rather believe that Nagini could produce milk than that Tom would think of using a house elf. He hated Muggle-born wizards.
"Kyushu needs this kind of weapon the most right now. The one named Shen is not reliable. You need a heavier bargaining chip. And now... the production maintained by magic power is far from being able to support what you want to do in Kyushu. What you said about that person before Aren’t the so-called gods weaved by stupid elves preparing for this day?”
Mu Yu had thought so, but she had been thinking about how to tell him in a more tactful way that house elves had precise control over magic power and that they could also use it. Dumbledore may have had more than just kindness in keeping the house elves in the Hogwarts kitchens. Dumbledore provides a place for house elves to live, so they provide a place for house elves. Even if they are still vassals of wizards, they can at least walk in front of wizards openly, rather than being humble slaves of wizards.
Avides had come to his senses after the initial shock. They had even hired house elves, and now they were just providing one more position for those creatures. He lowered his head and said, "Yes. But Miss Mu," he had always been very cautious towards Mu Yu, "do you want..."
"Magic has been hidden for too long, and it's time to resurface. Don't you want to see it?" The result of decades of hard work." Avides was not stupid. He mentioned Kyushu and letting magic surface. He already vaguely understood what Mu Yu wanted to do. He subconsciously looked at Tom Riddle, and seeing that he didn't have any unnecessary expressions, he plucked up the courage to say: "You want to start from the Muggle society, and eventually make Kyushu the first country to open another world to the public." Once there is a precedent, Naturally, some people will follow suit, "Norway is too far away from Kyushu..."
"That may not be the first one," Mu Yu picked up the silver weapon and looked at it carefully, "Teleportation array. I have a way to use it between Norway and Mingyuan. Establish a teleportation array between the mountains. Norway will always master the core of technology. The addition of house elves will make your magic no longer restricted, and you can spend more time studying more complex principles and do more meaningful things. ...Such as truly controlling the Ministry of Magic."
She put down her weapon to make sure there were no more omissions: "Elves are useful in more than just production. They have innate control over magic, the secret passage to Durmstrang. ..."
Avides understood what she meant without saying much. From the moment he heard the word "us", he smartly realized that the words of these two people basically did not allow him to question them. The inside story did not allow him to interfere.
This was a gamble that even Grindelwald had not dared to make. However, they have been dormant in Norway for decades and endured humiliation just to make a bet today. Avides bowed deeply again: "We will not let you down."
