Chapter 158 The Queen of Ice and Snow

The black carriage quietly left Durmstrang along the secret road, galloping all the way north.

This time, it was no longer a swallow-tailed dog who was pulling the carriage.

It was replaced with a magical animal with stronger legs, faster speed, and very Nordic characteristics - the big-horned reindeer.

That's right, the one that Santa rides... can ride, bark, and fly.

William liked this kind of magical animal. After the Pegasus, his "prosperous and wealthy family" finally welcomed the lovely reindeer.

What a joy.

What? Sirius didn't tell William, this is Durmstrang's property?

It's like what Maxim and Missandei said... The Rune Horse and Graling, didn't they all come to William?

The carriage is very spacious, like a small house.

To cope with the extreme weather in northern Europe, the floor is covered with plush wool rugs and there is a small fireplace.

Therefore, William and Hermione would not feel cold even if they were wearing very thin clothes.

Even practicing running in a carriage, or sprinting... If you exercise a little bit, you will feel hot.

Tonight, William and Hermione rested in the carriage.

The two of them did not stay in Durmstrang, and needed to find Grindelwald at night.

After all, Voldemort gave him a day.

William really didn't know Grindelwald's location, but there were clues.

Otherwise, how could he come to Northern Europe and say something like a Grindelwald disciple.

North of the North Sea, of course not a clue.

The Arctic Circle is so big and the environment is so harsh, let alone a day, give you a year, and you won't be able to get to the center.

Where are the real clues?

in the book.

Over the fire, Hermione snuggled into William's arms, a storybook in hand.

The name of the book is written in runes that wizards can learn.

But most wizards have not heard of this book, but almost all Muggles have read it.

- "Andersen's Fairy Tales".

This collection of fairy tales, in the Muggle world, is equivalent to the "Tales of Bedouin the Poet" in the wizarding world.

Almost every child, childhood bedtime reading.

Just like... all children from wizarding families know the story of the three brothers.

And all Muggle kids also know that Snow White and the seven Indians... ahhh, the love-hate relationship of the dwarfs.

There is also the story of the famous originator of poisonous chicken soup, the ugly duckling, which is even more familiar to everyone.

But are these two books really pure fairy tales?

At least... Dumbledore and Nico, don't think so.

They all held a Deathly Hallows in their hands.

The story of the three brothers is also the dream they have been pursuing for a lifetime.

Grindelwald apparently felt the same way.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to become a comrade with Dumbledore back then.

In fact, this "Andersen's Fairy Tales" was given by Dumbledore before it came... to find the "coordinates" of Grindelwald.

He only said one sentence:

"It was my eighteenth birthday,

A gift from Gaynette. "

Hermione opened the title page and read the rune notes left by Grindelwald:

"...In order to ensure that this powerful weapon is not used by disproportionate people, the early Deathly Hallows owners will use a special way to record their stories...

Mask the underlying truth with a metaphorical language of symbols, myths, and fables.

To this day, these encrypted hints are all over the place...in our myths, our bedtime stories.

Unfortunately, modern wizards have lost the ability to decipher this complex system of guidance...the great Deathly Hallows have also been lost...

Fortunately, I've got countless leads.

I would like to give this knowledge to Albus...my dear friend.

infinite love.

Gellert Grindelwald. "

If you ignore the last few sentences, the whole essay... the writing is passionate, energetic, and full of confidence.

Between the lines, there is an unparalleled ambition.

It is difficult for you to associate these words with that old old Nurmengard.

This "Andersen's Fairy Tales" has only seven stories, all of them related to magic.

Several of the stories also involve the god of death.

For example, in the story of The Nightingale:

Death appeared beside the emperor, ready to take him away. But the nightingale used its song to drive away the god of death and save the emperor.

However, these are not "coordinates" of Grindelwald, and Hermione turned the book to the last story.

- "The Snow Queen".

She held up the book and read softly.

"Once upon a time there was the worst guy in the world, called Death..."

Well, even William couldn't help but bow to the god of death.

Who are they provoking?

It's sending the Deathly Hallows again, and asking for a dream to help provide clues... and I'm still being scolded all day long.

Hermione coughed hard to get him to concentrate.

William nodded quickly, and the girl continued to read:

"Death has made a mirror that reverses black and white.

Obviously something beautiful, when you look in the mirror, it becomes the ugliest thing. "

In the margin of the article, Dumbledore also made a footnote - Deathly Hallows.

Hermione read slowly: "Death takes a mirror and looks around.

As a result, the dark wizard became a good man, an ugly woman became a beautiful woman, and a toad became a minister... The world was distorted by the god of death. "

"Death was very proud, but he felt that this method was too slow, so he flew into the air and smashed the mirror.

That mirror, turned into countless fragments, fell in every corner of the world along with the heavy snow.

Fragments of the mirror fly into anyone's eyes, and anyone will see nothing pleasing to the eye;

Whoever gets into the heart will become ice cubes, and there will be no emotion ever since.

In a village, there is a young man and a woman.

When the two of them were looking at the album together, the bell rang outside, and the girl stuck her head out of the window.

The fragments of the mirror flying in the wind fell into her eyes and drilled into her heart.

The kind girl immediately became cold and ruthless, and never got along with the boy again.

One night, the girl disappeared completely, and the boy decided to find her.

The snow in winter was half a foot thick, and the boy was cold and tired when he met a snake.

So he asked Snake: Do you know the whereabouts of the girl? "

This time Professor Dumbledore wrote another narration - Parseltongue.

"The snake said, "Hiss, I know where the girl is. She became the Snow Queen and flew north on a sleigh, probably on an island in the Arctic Ocean. "

"But to get to the Snow Queen's palace, you must first go to Lapland.

Ride a reindeer in a village to reach the palace. "

The boy came to Lapland, found a village, and finally stopped in front of a wooden house.

There was an old man in the house, and he said:

"In the heart of the Snow Queen, there is a fragment of a mirror, and because of the fragments in her eyes, nothing is pleasing to the eye.

Only by taking out the shards can she become a real person, otherwise she can only stay in the palace forever.

You have a heart with love, this is your strength, let the reindeer take you there! "

The old man offered the reindeer, and the boy drove towards the palace.

Snowman and Snow Treasure kept rushing towards him.

They are all warriors of the Snow Queen, guarding the palace!

The boy worked hard to subdue Xuebao and Snowman, and finally entered the palace of the Snow Queen.

Everything is made of ice and snow, shining like clear glass.

There is a frozen lake in the hall, which is the Lake of Sanity in the world.

The girl sits in the middle and observes everything that is going on in the world, ignoring the boy.

Death, with a hood, suddenly appeared, and he said to the boy:

"If a girl can spell the word 'eternity', she is her own master and can be free from now on."

After death leaves, the boy asks the girl to spell "eternal".

But the girl still stared at the lake in a daze.

The boy tried all the methods, but the girl was unmoved.

Finally, the boy cried bitterly.

His tears, like an endless hot spring, flowed into the girl's heart, melting the mirror fragments in her heart.

At this time, the girl's eyes suddenly moved, and she began to look at the boy.

The boy sings the song that the girl used to listen to the most:

"When the Northern Lights appeared, we saw death."

When the girl heard the song, she suddenly burst into tears, and the hot tears melted the shards in her eyes.

They hugged tightly, and even the surrounding Xuebao danced happily for them.

When they lay down tiredly, the two just formed the "eternal" pattern.
