"Gellert Grindelwald?"
Pope Rozier looked at the old man who suddenly appeared in front of the building. Although he used a questioning tone, his expression was already one of assurance.
Such a clever spell of illusion, and an underestimation of a wide range of confusion spells, estimated that only individuals like Gellert Grindelwald at the pinnacle of the magical world could do it.
"The answer is correct. It seems that I am not old enough to be forgotten by everyone."
Grindelwald nodded with a smile, casually playing with the wand in his hand, and continued walking towards the hospital building, paying no heed to the group of wizards pointing wands at him.
"Truly, Grindelwald."
"God, why is Grindelwald here?"
"It's over, I don't want to die yet."
Upon hearing the conversation between the two, there was a clear commotion among the group of wizards gathered in the hospital lobby.
In comparison to Voldemort, daunting on the other side, whether in Austria, Germany, France... The most widespread stories in the magical world of these countries are always about Gellert. Those legends of Grindelwald.
Not to mention, for these young wizards who have not personally experienced Grindelwald's reign, the stories personally transmitted by their parents are more dissuasive and oppressive.
Because of this, realizing they would face Grindelwald, the morale of most present wizards had plummeted to the point of freezing, in addition to the ghostly blockade that has never been encountered and only exists in legends. The city-wide level magic in history...
If not for being surrounded by Muggle police at the hospital, at least more than half of the wizards would have quietly escaped, you know, most of them are not professional Aurors, and the most common situation they handle is dealing with a few restless shamans.
No, you have to do something.
Observing the panicked wizards around her, the short-haired blonde witch fixed her gaze on the elderly Grindelwald with a complicated expression, drew her wand, gritted her teeth, and headed towards the building doorway.
"Whatever it is you're planning, close it as soon as possible. Although in your youth you could fight more than fifty Aurors alone, it doesn't mean that today you can easily defeat more than twenty wizards."
"Yes, your expression is precise. It's really not that easy. Maybe it will take at least a few more minutes?"
Grindelwald looked ridiculed at the strong and calm witch in front of him, and shook his head helplessly. These young men sitting in the office were far behind those Aurors.
"Damn, what am I talking about?"
Barely had the words come out, Pope Rozier felt the surrounding atmosphere becoming increasingly charged, unable to overpower, but not able to escape either, and a desperate atmosphere began to spread among the crowd.
Seeing the mockery in Gellert Grindelwald's eyes, the witch took a deep breath and tried to calm herself.
"With such an important matter, Mr. Albus Dumbledore must have heard the news by now. I think maybe he is on his way now, instead of here..."
"Well, I hope so."
Gellert Grindelwald nodded frankly, showing a smile that seemed to defy Rozier's fear and held out his hands.
"Forgive me, in fact, one of my main goals is to inform Albus to come as soon as possible. The more I have known my friends for many years, the less I should let myself be swayed by delay and temporary release."
"And as for something else..."
Grindelwald paused for a moment, then took a step forward, a flash of coldness passed through his eyes, slowly sweeping over the wizards in front of him, with a slight smile.
"Who knows, where is the fortunate young man called Rodris, now?"
"Don't even think about it! We won't betray..." angrily said a witch who was behind Pope Rozier. In this increasingly oppressive atmosphere, she could only vent a little by shouting in this way to release her emotions.
"Was it originally on the outskirts of the city?"
Before the wizard finished, Grindelwald raised an eyebrow and nodded thoughtfully. "Thank you."
After getting the information he wanted, the old man hesitated no more and was about to leave undisturbed.
"Stop! You're not thinking of escaping!" The wizard raised his wand and shouted loudly.
In front of Grindelwald, a wall of white light blocked his way.
After thinking for a moment, Grindelwald showed a sarcastic and annoyed expression on his face, turned around, and waved his wand gently.
Without any magical light or spell sound, the wizard seemed to be suddenly struck by a great force, and flew out astonished. All the wizards instinctively hid, and Grindelwald's counter-enchanted attack did not materialize.
Grindelwald raised his wand and looked at the wizards in front of him, shaking his head in disappointment.
"Listen, guys, I'm not in a good mood right now. If you're feeling energetic and need to vent, I suggest you pick some opponents who are prepared for you in advance."
"Opponent?"
Pope Rozier frowned and disdainfully pointed to the Austrian Federal Police Office surrounding Salk Hospital. "Do you really think these Muggles and the weapons in their hands can do anything to a wizard?"
The voice had not yet faded when the witch looked in amazement at the mountain road outside the cordon.
Tens, oh no, at least hundreds of middle-aged and elderly people in different attire were following the indications of black cloth floating in the sky, and slowly approaching the hospital, and further away, the intermittent stream of people kept coming from all corners of the city.
There is nothing wrong with the legend circulating in the magical world. The city where the saints lived in seclusion has always existed, and its existence was even earlier than what most people imagined.
"Relax, they're just the caretakers of this duel. To make sure they don't harm the Muggle children who are performing their duties without losing composure. Of course, the premise is that they don't attack them willingly."
Grindelwald shrugged, turned to look at the dense crowd and the luminous Salzburg in the distance, closed his eyes, and breathed deeply, with arms outstretched.
"They may have some confusions. Since they arrived here, there has only been one opponent: this city."
