The Periodic Table of Words at Hogwarts

Chapter 267 The broken mountains and rivers

"Ah, long time no see, my old friend."

The man pushed open the door of the box, then took off his windbreaker and hung it on the hanger at the door.

"Yeah, long time no see."

A young man sitting by the window looking at the river view smiled and nodded, motioning for the middle-aged Western-faced man who had just entered the room to sit down.

"I don't know what you like to eat, so I booked a booth in this Western restaurant."

The young man said with a slight smile.

"Ah, you are really attentive, but actually I also want to take this opportunity to try local specialties."

The middle-aged man sat on his seat and then took a sip of the wine in the glass.

The middle-aged man had a strange appearance, with short, messy white hair, and exuded a very uncomfortable aura.

The white of his right eye is very large, and the black eyelid is only as small as the pupil.

"We haven't seen each other for a year, and the situation has become even more confusing."

Fierce gunfire came from the other side of the river. The two of them put down their knives and forks at the same time and looked towards the warehouse opposite.

The opposite side of the river was already filled with smoke. Countless short figures in khaki clothes were attacking the warehouse, but the machine gun bullets fired from several perforations firmly blocked their progress.

After leaving corpses on the ground, the other party had no choice but to withdraw and repair.

"The cannons sent to you were originally going to be transported to Shanghai and Hong Kong, but because the situation here is not very good, I took it upon myself to transport them to the controlled area further south."

The man from Germany looked at the smoke across the river and said to the Chinese young man.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Grindelwald. These heavy artillery will crush enemy attacks on the battlefield and save countless innocent people."

The young man nodded his thanks.

"The environment here is too dangerous. Even I don't want to stay here any longer. There is no difference between wizards and Muggles in front of cannonballs. They will both be blown into pieces."

Grindelwald in his prime said to the man.

"Do you know? Mr. Grindelwald. In the warehouse opposite is the last federal army in the entire Shanghai city. There is a regiment in total. There is no way to retreat. They just plan to hold on there."

The young man looked at the army that was gathering for another fierce attack, and his eyes seemed to be about to burst out with sparks.

"I know their commanders, but I can't save them. All I can do is provide more valuable intelligence so that the frontline troops can reduce their own casualties while killing the enemy."

"To be honest, although everyone calls me the most disgusting devil in the world, I have always admired from the bottom of my heart those warriors who are willing to sacrifice their lives for their ideals. Please accept my respect."

Grindelwald stood up and bowed towards the warehouse on the other side.

"Zhang Yan, are you really not going to leave? The other side of the river has turned into purgatory. You are only temporarily safe here. The power of the great powers here is really too weak. I bet that the other side will eventually kick open the bridge. The iron gate above was in vain, and they broke in here with rifles and bayonets."

The voice was silent for a while amid the sound of cannons, and then Grindelwald asked.

"Of course I know, but this is what I should do, isn't it?"

When he was young, Zhang Yan had a wry smile on his face.

"I'm going back soon, my flight is tonight."

Grindelwald lowered his head and put a piece of steak into his mouth, and said after a moment of silence.

"I'm glad that I'm not as arrogant as other wizards, thinking that Muggle things are not harmful to us at all."

"Don't look at me with that look. Taking advantage of Muggle wars is the best option. I don't like to consolidate my position through killing. I'm not a murderer."

"Then I wish you success."

Zhang Yan shook his head.

"I thought you would object to my behavior"?

Grindelwald asked with interest.

"Rather than worrying about how you will turn the magical world of Europe upside down, our current matters are more fatal and important."

Zhang Yan looked at the smoking warehouse and sighed.

"Don't be so sad all the time. I think as long as people like you exist in this country, it is impossible to lose."

Grindelwald leaned forward and patted Zhang Yan on the shoulder.

Gu"By the way, have you used anti-eavesdropping magic on this house?"

"Yes, that's the charm posted on the door."

Zhang Yan pointed to the door behind him, and there was indeed a talisman on it.

"What's wrong"?

"Nothing, just asking out of habit."

Grindelwald waved his hand and seemed to just ask indifferently.

But he already had a scarred wand tightly clutched in his hand.

………………

"Sir, what business do you want to do?"

The front desk of the bank looked at this young man who was wearing a windbreaker and had an extraordinary temperament. He didn't dare to neglect him at all.

"Currency exchange".

Zhang Qi nodded, then took out a gold bar from his pocket and placed it on the table.

"Please help me change it into silver dollars, and then convert the remaining part into paper money."

"Ah, okay sir, please wait a moment."

The person at the front desk looked at the gold bar, which was half a palm wide and more than two feet long, with a shocked expression.

The salesperson was very fast, and the gold bar was quickly exchanged for silver dollars and banknotes.

"Welcome to your next visit."

Zhang Qi opened the door and walked out, walking aimlessly along the river.

"Why this time and space"?

"what should I do"?

Zhang Qi's brain continued to think. At this time, he felt a little hungry, so he turned his attention to a Western restaurant by the river.

This western restaurant is a three-story structure with windows facing the other side of the river. You can clearly see the situation on the other side.

"so be it".

Zhang Qi shook his head, pushed open the store door a little irritably, and walked in.

"Welcome, guest, what would you like to have?"

A waitress came over and asked very politely.

When Zhang Qi saw the waitress, his steps suddenly stopped, and then his pupils shrank to the size of pinholes like an electric shock.

"gentlemen"?

The waiter asked a little strangely, but she seemed to have a hint of doubt at this time.

"Is there a window seat on the second floor? I want to find a place to look across the river."

Zhang Qi pretended that nothing happened and said to the waiter.

"of course".

The waiter seemed relieved and took him to a seat by the window on the second floor.

"One piece of bread, one piece of steak, and if there's beetroot soup, please have a bowl too."

"Okay, sir."

Zhang Qi paid for the meal with silver dollars on the spot, and then looked out the window with a melancholy expression after the waiter left.

"Why do I have to choose someone else's disguised stronghold to eat?"

Zhang Qi rubbed his hair a little irritably.
