v6 Chapter 16: 2 The Great Touch of the Dark Lord

"A Magical Hogwarts( Find the latest chapter!

As the third largest river in Europe, the Rhine is not very long, but it also flows through six countries.

It originates north of the Swiss Alps, sandwiched between the Glarus and Le Pontine mountains, and flows from southwest to northeast.

Along the way, it passes through Liechtenstein, Austria, France and Germany, and finally joins the vast North Sea from the east of Rotterdam, the big port of the Netherlands.

Durmstrang's big ship was going upstream from Holland, preparing to enter Austria.

It sounds like a good trip, you can enjoy the customs of various countries along the way, and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Rhine.

But it's not as comfortable as expected.

The Rhine River in this period was not as clear as later generations, and even in many places, it still exudes the smell of stinky ditch.

the reason is simple:

As industrial countries, Germany and France once used the Rhine River excessively, causing huge pollution of the waters.

Especially in the 1930s and 1940s, the Rhine became a well-known stinky river, dubbed the open sewer in Europe, or the most romantic stinky ditch in Europe.

The Netherlands, which is the furthest downstream of the Rhine, is finally reluctant.

Good guy, I didn't do anything, why should I bear this stench that it shouldn't bear?

So the Netherlands began to run and appeal: green mountains and clear waters are invaluable assets.

Under the leadership of the Dutch, countries formed a "Rhine River Protection and Pollution Prevention Forum", where everyone gathered to discuss how to prevent pollution and reduce emissions.

After decades of hard work, it was only in recent years that the Rhine River got rid of the hat of "Oriental version of Longxugou".

And this hat fell on the head of the more seriously polluted Mariana Trench.

Of course, it's not that there is no view at all.

For example, Basel, the city of "The Three Kingdoms", has Germany in its northern suburbs and France in its western suburbs.

The team of Basel has deep roots with Barcelona in Spain, and the red and blue uniforms of Barcelona originate from Basel.

There is also a famous city on the west bank of the Rhine - Strasbourg in France, known as the capital of Europe because the European Parliament resides here.

Stop and go like this, as if traveling for several days, William and Hermione disembarked near Lake Constance.

The ship will continue upstream, towards the Alps.

After the last wizarding war, the giants of England were expelled and migrated to the deep mountains of the Alps.

No one knew where they were hiding, and Hagrid and Mrs. Maxim needed to keep looking.

This time may take a long time.

After getting off the boat, William left behind Hagrid's very cool motorcycle.

Maxime doesn't like motorcycles, she only likes the old-fashioned means of transport, the horse-drawn carriage.

Besides, with the size of the two of them, the motorcycle would not be able to withstand it at all, and it would have a flat tire.

Hermione checked the map of Austria for a while and finally determined the route.

William's fingers reached under the front fender of the motorcycle and took out a small magnet box. There is a piece of key inside.

He inserted the key and started the motorcycle.

A few seconds later, Hermione also got on the motorcycle and sat behind him.

William took out two safety helmets and handed one to Hermione.

After Hermione put on her helmet, she hugged William's waist tightly.

William stepped on the accelerator, and the motorcycle rushed out like an arrow.

The power of the car was more than William expected, and when it rushed out a few meters, the wheels were almost off the ground.

William stepped up the accelerator, and the roar of the motorcycle caused the wild ducks by the lake to fly up in fright.

"Let's go, towards Vienna... let's go!"

...

...

Braunau town,

on the Inn River in Upper Austria, Austria. It is about 90 km from Linz and about 60 km from Salzburg.

Such a remote town, which should have no name, is famous in the Muggle and wizarding worlds.

Because of two people:

a muggle,

a sorcerer.

The Muggle born in Braunau has the same series of multiple titles as Longma:

Painter boy in Braunau; street homeless in Vienna; corporal of the Bavarian Reserve 16th Infantry; loser of the beer hall riot; world-renowned best-selling author; Chancellor of the German Third Reich.

And...the ever-happy head of the ghost zone.

As for the wizard, it was the famous first-generation Dark Lord - Grindelwald.

At that time, Grindelwald established Nurmengard Castle not far from the town of Braunau.

The castle was also the prison where he was imprisoned after his defeat by Dumbledore.

At this time, in a cold bar in Braunau, sat a wizard wrapped in a robe-Grey Rozier.

In the past few days, he has traveled all the way to this country and to this small town.

He is looking for another Dark Lord for the Dark Lord.

After taking a sip of the second tonic, he began to look at the row of colorful bottles at the back of the bar.

"A glass of green Veltliner? It's an Austrian specialty."

The female owner of the bar was in her thirties, with a plump figure and a playful smile on her face, looking straight at this extraordinary man.

Although this man was dressed strangely, she could feel that he was a rich man.

Rozier ignored the female boss's wink, shook his head, and said in German, "No need, thank you."

Anyone can stay abstaining from alcohol in the desert, he said to himself, but only faithful believers can resist temptation even in a pond.

He needs absolute sobriety now to carry out the night's tasks, not to drink some alcohol and paralyze himself.

He touched the pocket of his robe, and there were several letters in it.

Signed by Vida Rozier—the aunt Rozier had never met.

This is of course a fake letter, but it is the only way to get in touch with Grindelwald smoothly.

However, there is nothing wrong with the handwriting, Rozier imitated the handwriting according to Vader's previous correspondence.

He thought for a while, and there should be no omissions.

Thinking was suddenly interrupted by the piercing doorbell of the bar.

Rozier suddenly picked up the tonic water and took a sip.

I should go too, he thought, and got up from the stool.

He wanted to pay the bill, but the bar owner gave him another unexpected wink and waived the bill.

It seems that as long as Rozier is willing, not only can the order be waived tonight, but also a taste of "Austrian flavor".

Rozier's indifferent face did not respond, turned around and left.

The bar door was slammed open, and two burly guys stumbled in.

They wore red and blue football jerseys, belly bared, and sang the Austrian national anthem off-key.

Apparently this afternoon, Rapid Vienna won away and they were celebrating.

"My God!" one of the men shouted, staring at Rozier's elegant robes:

"What a strange costume! Are you from the circus?"

The two laughed, and staggered toward him, as if trying to tug at his robes.

Rozier took out his wand and shot out two green rays, and the two of them lay coldly on the ground.

The female boss screamed hysterically, slammed the bar hard, and shouted in German: Murder! "

Rozier turned and pointed his wand at the lady boss.

She immediately looked confused and went to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife.

Just modify the memory... a simple spell, and the Austrian Ministry of Magic will not notice anything unusual.

Rozier walked to the bar and took another bottle of tonic water and put it in his pocket.

Not to mention... Muggle drinks are really good.

Out of the bar, Rozier breathed in the fresh air and walked along the alley towards the Dozi River.

Not wanting to attract the attention of the Muggles, he retreated into the shadows.

I still have business to do tonight, so I can't make any extras.

He adjusted his robes and sorted out the task in front of him.

Tonight is the invitation of the century - a great encounter between two Dark Lords.

It's him...the unbreakable bridge.
