Rodna leaned back on the chair, his heterochromatic eyes flickering in the firelight of the fireplace, as if he was thinking about something big.
Lin Ze didn't dare to disturb him, so he could only sip the wine glass in small sips.
This wine is really delicious, it would be better if I could pack a few bottles to take away.
"How about making a deal?" Rodna suddenly said.
Lin Ze's eyelids twitched. "What deal?"
"You do something for me and I'll teach you a magic."
"What magic?"
"The kind you just saw." Rodna tapped his fingertips on the armrest.
Lin Ze An image of the opponent summoning a fireball and erasing the entire street Muggle's presence flashed through his mind.
It would be a lie to say that I am not impressed.
"Tell me what you want me to do first." Lin Ze suppressed the corners of his mouth that were about to curl up and tried to make his voice sound calm.
"I haven't thought about it yet."
Lin Ze:"..."
"I will come find you when I think about it later."
Rodna took out a silver badge from his robe and threw it to Lin Ze.
The badge was only larger than a coin, with a twisted rune engraved on it. The material could not be seen, and it felt cool in the hand.
"When you need to contact me, just hold it in your hand and activate it with magic power." Rodna said.
"Of course, it will be hot when I look for you."
Lin Ze turned the badge over and over again, then put it into his inner pocket.
"Deal, but before the ugly talk, I will not do anything that goes against morals and morals."
Rodna looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile, "Don't worry, there are many people rushing to help me with that kind of thing."
Is there anyone else who co-authored Grindelwald's Army?
Lin Ze shrugged noncommittally.
Rodna stood up from the chair, walked to the bookshelf and pulled out a book with a black leather cover.
Lin Ze thought he was going to start teaching himself, but Rodna just threw the book on the table.
"Read it yourself. If you don't understand, just read it several times."
There were no words on the cover of the book, but after opening it, it was filled with obscure runes. Lin Ze just glanced at it and felt his temples pounding, as if he had been poured half a kilogram of low-quality vodka.
"Is it so casual?" Lin Ze picked up the book. It felt ridiculously heavy in the hand, like holding a piece of cast iron.
"The road to magic depends on your understanding. If you always need someone to teach you, you won't go very far." Rodna picked up the wine glass again and returned to his arrogant look.
OK.
You have the final say!
"Um...Mr. Grindelwald, what's the reason for coming to Britain this time?" Lin Ze felt that the other party was not that difficult to communicate with, so he asked tentatively.
"Of course, I have foreseen a corner of the future. If I find it interesting, I will take a look." Rodna said, tapping his temple.
Okay, I almost forgot that Gellert has the talent to see the future. It seems that this young master has also inherited his talent.
"Under my peek, the future has many shapes, and the key node that changes history is in that store."
"Before I went there, I had doubts, thinking it was something in the store, but... until I saw you... I thought I found the key..." Rodna stared at Lin Ze with a half-smile.
"Uh..."
Lin Ze was so scared when he looked at him, this guy can't really just follow his father, can he?
"You are very interesting and special. I now formally invite you to join "Prisoners" and work together for a better future. How about it?" Rodna said, extending his slender hand to Lin Ze.
Fortunately it's not For the Greater Good!
Seemingly sensing Lin Ze's concerns, Rodna spoke again, "Don't worry, I won't follow my father's old path again. My goals are different from his, so I need special people like you to join me."
After Rodna finished speaking, he stopped talking. He stood there and stretched out his hand, quietly waiting for Lin Ze's reply.
How to answer this?
Can I say no?
Lin Ze glanced at the rows of tall bookshelves around him, sighed, and stretched out his hand to hold Rodna's hand.
"Okay."
The moment the two people's palms touched, Lin Ze felt that the things in front of him were rapidly regressing.
He saw the hall of Ministry of Magic covered with black flags, saw the castle of Hogwarts burning in green flames, and saw a noseless monster crawling out of a huge crucible.
He also saw Aila, the grown-up Aila.
She stood in the middle of the ruins, with surging black energy behind her, but that energy was no longer out of control, but surrounded her like living creatures, listening to her orders.
He also saw himself.
Wearing a dark green robe, with a badge on his chest that he had never seen before, he shook hands with Lucius Malfoy in the corridor of Ministry of Magic. Their smiles were more hypocritical than the other.
He saw countless forked roads, each leading to a different end...
"Hiss--"
An invisible pulling feeling came, and the scene in front of him collapsed. When he came back to his senses, he was still standing opposite Rodna, but he no longer held hands with him.
Lin Ze took a deep breath, like a drowning person who was finally fished out.
Rodna didn't seem to notice anything strange about Lin Ze. He just shook the wine glass in his hand and slowly walked around the room.
"Um... I want to ask, how many of our "prisoners"... are there now?" Lin Ze asked.
"In addition to your words... there are three of us now."
"..."
Well, I thought it was some big organization, but it turned out to be a small gang that had just been formed!
"Who is the other person?"
Rodna shook his head; "She is not here. When we meet in the future, you will naturally recognize each other."
Okay, it's this pretentious and sophisticated part again, but who makes people awesome...
"The last question... I have also joined the organization... um... when can I go back?"
"You also know... I am also a small middle-level employee of Ministry of Magic... I have a lot of things going on every day..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Rodna didn't see any movement, Lin Ze felt himself being lifted up by a force, and his whole body fell backwards, falling into a silent crack in time and space.
Then there was a sudden spin.
"Bang!"
"Ouch..."
Lin Ze felt like his tail bone was going to be broken.
I stood up rubbing my butt, and the voice of Rodna suddenly sounded in my ears, "For future".
"..."
Okay, I got on the pirate ship by accident, but luckily I didn't lose my life.
Patting his butt, Lin Ze found himself back in the shop just now. The mess on the floor and the broken doors and windows all showed the intensity of the battle just now.
It seems that Fudge is fine.
That thing Voldemort in the basement should still be there.
Hmm...Rodna means, it seems that I am no longer interested in that thing.
Then I will be disrespectful~
