Dumbledore and Grindelwald, two people who were destined to be together, turned against each other in the end.
However, they were still friends, still cared for each other, and were still the one who understood each other the best.
Although they had not seen each other or spoken to each other for almost a hundred years, this special relationship had never changed.
Because of the encounter when they were young, an inexplicable relationship was formed, and it continued.
Whether it was Dumbledore or Grindelwald, their lives were full of legends, and they were both the greatest wizards.
For the greater good, the two of them used their actions to live up to this saying!
Although their original ideas were not realized, they changed the world with their own efforts.
"You know what happened next, Elwyn. I won the duel, and I locked him up myself."
Silence again. Elwyn opened his mouth, but in the end, he did not ask Dumbledore if he found out who killed Arianna.
Dumbledore should already know the answer, but Elwyn did not want him to say it.
The two stood in front of the gate of Newmengaard in silence, thinking about their own things, until Keresis came out.
His face was cold, and he was wearing a pure black robe. His face looked even paler than usual.
Although he had just recovered, he was still the King of Vampires, and his aura was even colder than when Elwyn saw him before.
"Keresis, have you recovered?" Elwyn hurriedly asked, and walked over.
In the gap of the gate, he saw a pair of blood-red eyes in the darkness, without any emotion, staring at him quietly, as if it could evoke the deepest fear in a person's heart. Then, with a bang, the gate of Newmengaard closed.
The owner of the eyes was the guardian of Newmengaard, a dark creature as terrible as the Dementors.
According to rumors, they were monsters created by Grindelwald to conquer the world.
No one knew what they looked like, because they were always hidden in the darkness, and only their eyes could be seen.
"The magic has been dispelled, and the rest of the injuries will slowly recover." As Keresis spoke, he nodded respectfully at Dumbledore, then lowered his head to look at Elwyn. "Elwyn, I learned everything from Dumbledore. I have to thank you for defeating the Statue of the Evil God that night. I was a fool to think that I could destroy it. It was all thanks to you …"
"It was actually Harry. If he hadn't seen you being attacked, we wouldn't have been able to arrive in time." Elwyn said modestly.
"I'll thank him. That boy won the vampire's friendship just like you!" Keresis said. "By the way, how's Elaine doing recently? I heard she went to the Hogwarts with you. It's always been her dream. "
"Don't worry about her. Because of something, we left the Hogwarts early. There's also Hermione!" Elwyn said. "The two of them are at the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix. You'll see her when you get back. Let's talk about Norway. Keresis, what's the trouble with your family? "
He must have talked to Dumbledore about it, but Elwyn didn't know the details.
He didn't have time to ask Dumbledore, but it would be better if Keresis explained it.
"It's a seal, a seal left by Salazar Slytherin. My family is the guardian of the seal. For thousands of years, we've been maintaining the seal with the power of our blood." Keresis said and sighed. "This is our family's responsibility. Elaine's parents sacrificed their lives to maintain the seal."
"Sacrificed their lives?!" Elwyn didn't know this. Was that how Elaine's parents died?!
Dumbledore didn't participate in the conversation between the two. He kept looking at the highest point of the main tower of Newmengard.
"Yeah, you know, the power of vampires comes from their blood. If you want to become a vampire, you have to go through The Embrace and reach the Blood Covenant. To put it simply, you have to replace the original blood of the First Embrace with the blood of a vampire." Keresis said. "This magic is usually done by vampires with strong magic power, but our family is a little different. When the blood is transferred back to the body of the First Possessor, a little special blood will be added …"
"Special blood? What's that? "Elwyn looked at him in surprise." Where does this blood come from? "
Elwyn was no stranger to The Embrace. After all, Elaine had always been obsessed with it and wanted to turn him into a vampire.
But this was the first time he knew about this special blood. It wasn't mentioned in the magic books.
"It's at the seal. Like the seal, this special blood was left by Salazar Slytherin. It's the proof of our family and the source of our power." Keresis said. "The magic power contained in this blood is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. During The Embrace, we will take a drop of it and put it into the body of the First Possessor. The higher the degree of integration with this drop of blood, the greater the power and potential …"
"It's a rare black magic!" Dumbledore's voice sounded. He looked away from the main tower. "The body is transformed to obtain the magic power of the origin. The transformed person has to pay a huge price, but there's no doubt that they will obtain great power. Lord Voldemort underwent this transformation to become what he is now. But he did it more thoroughly. He wasn't satisfied with just a drop of blood, but the whole body. If you ask me, this method of obtaining power is actually a curse. "
"Yes, it's a curse!" Keresis said. "My family and I obtained power far beyond the average wizard and other vampires through this method. But at the same time, we have to bear the responsibility of maintaining the seal and the curse of fate on us."
"But why?" Elwyn asked. He still didn't quite understand.
"This has something to do with the monster that Slytherin left in the seal. It's a powerful creature. When we became vampires through The Embrace, we established a connection with it. Whenever the seal's power declines, we can hear it talking to us, asking us to become its servants." Keresis said. "According to legend, if the seal is opened and the terrible monster sees the light of day again, our family will become its servants or be swallowed by it. Everyone in our family is afraid of it."
Elwyn looked at Keresis. If he understood correctly, the special blood actually came from the terrible monster that Keresis mentioned.
It was an evil god. That was why there was such a special connection between them.
