Chapter 263 The Recluse
"The Dark Lord's Disciples Capture the Vatican"

"Yesterday, the notorious Death Eater Ike Strider captured the Vatican Palace. The world-famous St. Peter's Square was almost destroyed under his magic. Dozens of Aurora from the Italian Ministry of Magic and the Holy See The guards were defeated by him. If Albus Dumbledore hadn't arrived in time, he would have even died on the spot."

"Mr. Greco, Minister of the Ministry of Magic of Italy, said that Ike Stryde is a dark wizard more terrifying than the Dark Lord. The Ministry of Magic of all countries should be more vigilant and establish fast and timely information exchange channels and emergency response measures to protect their countries. important property shall not be damaged."

"It is reported that the previous vicious attacks in Greece, Iraq and Egypt were all carried out by Ike Stride. It can be expected that Rome or the Vatican will not be his last stop..."

In a small shop in Berlin, Germany, Lao Fu held a newspaper in his hand and was reading it while eating breakfast.Ike sat across from him, not paying much attention, all his thoughts were on the egg sandwich in front of him.

"You've become famous this time, Ike." Lao Fu chuckled lightly, "There is no one in the wizarding world who doesn't know your name."

"Look what they're calling you? Disciple of the Dark Lord, successor of the Dark Lord?"

"What do you think, Ike?"

Ike put down the half-bitten sandwich, wiped his mouth, and said, "Teacher, don't be joking, everything in the newspaper is exaggerated."

"But you did do those things, didn't you?" Lao Fu put down the newspaper, and his hand naturally fell on a small box on the table, "Greece, Iraq, Egypt, and Italy, your journey has really made a difference. You have accomplished a great deal... and you have completed the tasks I entrusted to you very well."

"Sorry, teacher." Ike lowered his head slightly, "I only got this, and everything else failed, especially in the Vatican. Not only did I not find the Holy Grail, but..."

"Don't worry about it, Ike." Lao Fu waved his hand, and there was a little smile in his red pupils, "I didn't expect you to complete everything, and to get the life fruit is already a big achievement." Very good harvest."

"Thank you, teacher." Ike raised his head, with a trace of excitement and gratitude in his expression, which pleased Lao Fu very much.

"You are my student and the one who wants to inherit my career. You don't have to be so humble. You are much better than others." Lao Fu said, "Besides, you also brought me the skeleton of an angel. Very nice collection, it's okay if you don't get the Holy Grail, a thing used by the mythical Muggles, maybe it was made up by the church guys."

Hearing this, Ike nodded subconsciously, looking cute.Lao Fu smiled, stood up from his chair after finishing his breakfast, greeted Ike, opened the door and left the shop.Before going out, Ike naturally used the Forgetting Curse on the other people in the store, making them forget everything that happened just now.

After going out the door, Lao Fu stretched out his left hand to let Ike hold it, then waved his wand, and directly apparated away from the place.When it reappeared, it was already on the outskirts of Berlin.

It was an empty and barren land, overgrown with weeds as far as the eye could see.As soon as he appeared, Lao V's magic wand tapped in the air in front of him, a ripple immediately appeared, and the scenery in front of him also changed. After the ripple, a dense forest appeared, and a wooden house could be seen faintly.

Lao Fu didn't hesitate, he stepped through the ripples, followed by Ike, and walked towards the wooden house.

When he got closer, he saw a gray-haired old man standing at the door, holding a wand in his hand, trembling uncontrollably.He was so old and thin that a gust of wind could blow him down.The spirit is very good, the eyes are also very bright, and the voice is full of energy.

"You are not welcome here, intruders! Leave quickly!" The old man shouted loudly, but Lao Fu didn't show any intention of stopping, and there was a playful expression on his face.

Seeing this, the old man raised the wand in his hand, but saw a flash of red light, and before the old man could react, the wand came out of his hand and swirled into Ike's hand.

"You...what are you going to do?" The old man was very flustered, and his body took several steps back, and he didn't stop until his back was against the door.

Lao Fu walked directly in front of him, gently pinched the old man's face with his thin fingers, and said, "Grigovitch, maybe you have forgotten, but I visited you more than 20 years ago, but you refused Well, to be precise, this is the first time we've met."

"You... who are you?" The old man's body trembled, and his eyes were full of fear.

"You should have heard my name. Of course, people prefer to call me by another name...Dark Lord."

"Black... the Dark Lord!"

"That's right, that's right." Lao Fu smiled, and as soon as he exerted force on his hands, Grigovich smashed through the door behind him and fell directly into the house, and fell hard to the floor. It made Lao Fu smile even more happily.

He looked at the things in Grigovich's house with great interest, moved the wand in his hand, and dragged Grigovich into the living room.Throwing him on the floor casually, he sat on the sofa and crossed his legs.

"I heard a rumor that at the beginning of the century, you once obtained a powerful wand, and it also made your family's wand-making skills more exquisite... So, I want to know, where is that wand?"

"Magic wand? Magic wand!" Grigorovich stared wide-eyed, facing the aggressive Lao Fu, the whole person shrank into a ball.

"Yes, Wand, you know what I'm talking about...don't try to lie to me!"

Lao Fu leaned forward, his red pupils fixed on Grigovich.Gregorovitch suddenly cried and laughed, and shouted, "Hahaha...you're looking for the Elder Wand!"

"The Elder Wand... Hehehe, that's my Elder Wand!"

"The treasure of the Peverell family, which is said to be made from the finger bones of the god of death, has power beyond imagination... Hahaha..."

"Yes, yes, the Elder Wand, tell me where it is?" Lao Fu became a little impatient, and asked viciously.

"No! No! No!" Grigorovich cried out suddenly, his expression becoming vicious, "Damn thief! Damn thief!"

"My Elder Wand... my Elder Wand!"

Lao V asked another question, but Grigovich kept repeating the phrase "my old wand" over and over again, crying and laughing at the same time.Seeing this, Lao Fu completely lost his patience. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Gregorovich in front of him. He pressed his wand hard on his forehead and said, "Legiliency!"

Grigovich immediately rolled his eyes, and his whole body trembled violently, but Lao Fu looked carefully at Grigovich's memory as if he hadn't seen it.After a long while, he let go of Grigovich, allowing him to slump on the floor like mud.

Ike watched this scene quietly from the side, but he knew at a glance that Gregovich was dead.It was normal, he was already very old, and it was expected that he would be tortured by Lao Fu like this.

"Teacher, how are you?" Ike asked softly.

Lao Fu rubbed his head lightly, and replied: "The Elder Wand is not in the Gregorovitch family, someone stole it from him."

With that said, he stood up from the sofa, beckoned Ike to go out, and said as he walked, "Let's go, we have to meet the thief..."

"Where are you going, teacher?"

"Austria, Nurmengard..."
