Chapter 468 A Cunning Plan! Grindelwald, who comes out of retirement for love!
Voldemort was right. The unusual changes that have occurred over the past year or so were likely the work of that outrageous little wizard named Dudley Dursley.
Dumbledore is a man who seeks stability, and has been doing so for many years. Without strong stimuli and influence, he would never take such a big risk.
It was something that could persuade Dumbledore to agree to carry out such a grand and dangerous plan.
Dudley Dursley must have deeply impressed Dumbledore.
This also convinced Dumbledore that no matter what unexpected changes occurred, they could be perfectly resolved, and the situation in the wizarding world could always be firmly controlled by the white wizarding faction.
The changes involved included Grindelwald himself!
The fact that Dumbledore didn't write to him to explain the situation or ask him to cooperate with the plan suggests that Dumbledore felt it didn't matter what choice he made, and that it wasn't a big problem.
This shows they don't take him seriously at all!
No...that's not how it is!
Dumbledore couldn't possibly ignore him.
It was Dudley Dursley who didn't take him seriously!
Dumbledore simply wanted to see if he would be successfully instigated by Voldemort to leave Nurmengard and break his promise.
Dumbledore was testing him.
Dumbledore cares about him!
As a powerful and ambitious figure who once had his sights set on the world, Grindelwald possessed undeniable wisdom. He had already analyzed the general truth from all the known information.
At the same time, as someone who claims to know Dumbledore best, he also has a very accurate grasp of Dumbledore's mentality.
From the perspective of executing this grand plan, Dumbledore wanted him to step forward and cooperate in staging a grand spectacle.
But from a personal perspective, Dumbledore probably didn't want him to break his promise and leave Nurmengard.
Therefore, if he rejects Voldemort's alliance plan and continues to imprison himself in Nurmengard, Dumbledore would certainly be pleased and might even take the initiative to resume communication with him.
But this is just a temporary resurgence of goodwill.
His relationship with Dumbledore is unlikely to develop much further. Before long, he will once again become a pen pal disliked by Dumbledore because of his harsh words in letters.
However, if they feign an alliance with Voldemort, leave Nurmengard, go out and gather the remaining Witchcraft forces, and together with Voldemort recruit more dark wizards to stir up trouble.
When Dumbledore finds out, he may initially be very disappointed in him.
But when he cooperated with Dumbledore's plan, joined Voldemort in gathering dark wizards, attacked Hogwarts, appeared in front of Dumbledore, and then at the most crucial moment turned against Voldemort and the dark wizards he had gathered, he betrayed them and ruined Voldemort and the dark wizards he had gathered.
He then revealed his intentions to Dumbledore, along with his wisdom that he had long seen through everything...
Dumbledore would be overjoyed.
Moreover, his act of betraying all the black wizards in the world is undoubtedly an unprecedented and super pledge of allegiance to the white wizard camp.
At that point, he will be able to shed his past sins to some extent and be accepted back into the White Wizard camp.
Don't get me wrong, he doesn't care about what the White Wizards think of him.
Instead, he was accepted by the White Wizards' camp, and there was no longer a conflict of opinion between him and Dumbledore.
Their relationship is very likely to take a new turn.
As for the fact that this process might harm the UMNO saints who have always been loyal to him, and that it might contradict his original ideals...
It doesn't matter anymore.
Ever since he made a promise with Dumbledore to imprison himself in Nurmengard, he has given up the idea of wizards ruling Muggles and willingly become a useless person and a prisoner.
Over the years, he has never taken the initiative to contact the remaining UMNO saints outside the party.
He now has only one thought: to reconcile with Dumbledore and spend the rest of his life with him.
Originally, with Ariana's presence in his heart, he didn't even dare to hope for that.
Now that Ariana has been resurrected, everything is different.
Malays? Black wizards?
All I can say is I'm sorry.
Any great undertaking requires sacrifice.
Now, his love is the greatest cause, requiring the sacrifice of the Malay Party and the black wizards, and these people must be sacrificed!
In addition, although he has decided to betray the dark wizards in the end, before that, he must put enough pressure on the white wizards to temper them and help Dumbledore complete his plan.
At the same time, before turning against Dudley Dursley, he had to deliver a heavy blow and vent his resentment.
He wanted to see just how much of a prodigy Dudley Dursley was, that he could bring about so many significant changes in Dumbledore.
You know, even he didn't change Dumbledore that much.
Grindelwald thought so.
Clearly, Grindelwald overlooked the fact that he was the one who first instilled the seeds of Dumbledore's domineering mindset, and then spent the first half of his life making Dumbledore understand the importance of family and order.
Without these foundations, it would have been quite a struggle for Dumbledore to accept Dudley and embrace his rational and powerful ideas and practices.
……
Grindelwald's inner thoughts were not actually reflected on his face.
His demeanor, words, and actions in front of Voldemort and Amycus were partly a genuine outpouring of anger, and partly a targeted performance after seeing through the truth and setting his future course of action.
Now, he has signed a very loose magical alliance with Voldemort, putting on a perfunctory smile and trying to "make peace" with her.
They began by having Voldemort explain in detail the current situation of her Death Eater forces, in order to formulate subsequent plans.
Voldemort, unsuspecting and assuming that Grindelwald had already boarded her ship, ignored the lingering pain in her body and patiently began to explain things to Grindelwald.
A moment later, the conversation ended.
Grindelwald pretended to be deep in thought, then waved his wand and used a cutting charm to cut off a significant portion of his overly long hair and beard.
Then, he unleashed his magic, casting an extremely powerful compound spell on the hair and beard.
This is a composite magic combining transfiguration and illusion magic.
Under the dazzling magic, those hairs and beards fell to the ground and transformed...
