Chapter 740 The Great Contact Between Two Dark Lords
As the third longest river in Europe, the Rhine is not long, but it also flows through six countries.
It originates in the north of the Swiss Alps, sandwiched between the Glarus Mountains and the Le Pontine Mountains, and flows from southwest to northeast.
Along the way, it passes through Liechtenstein, Austria, France and Germany, and finally merges into the vast North Sea from the east of Rotterdam, a large port in the Netherlands.
Durmstrang's big ship is going upstream from the Netherlands to enter Austria.
It sounds like a good trip, you can enjoy the customs of various countries along the way, and appreciate the beautiful scenery of the Rhine.
But it is not as comfortable as expected.
The Rhine River in this period was not as clear as later generations, and even in many places, it still smelled like a stinky ditch.
the reason is simple:
As industrial countries, Germany and France once used the Rhine River excessively, causing huge pollution of the waters.
Especially in the 40s and [-]s, the Rhine River became a well-known stinky river, nicknamed the open sewer in Europe, or the most romantic stinky ditch in Europe.
The Netherlands, the most downstream of the Rhine, was finally unwilling.
Good guy, I didn't do anything, why should I have to bear this stench that it shouldn't bear?
So the Netherlands began to appeal: Green mountains and green waters are golden mountains and silver mountains.
Under the leadership of the Dutch, various countries formed a "Protection Rhine River Pollution Prevention Forum", and everyone gathered together to discuss how to prevent pollution and reduce emissions.
After decades of hard work, and only in recent years, the Rhine River has shed its title of "Western version of Longxugou".
And this hat fell on the head of the more polluted Mariana Trench.
Of course, it's not like there's no view at all.
For example, Basel, a city of "Three Kingdoms", has Germany in its northern suburbs and France in its western suburbs.
Basel's team has a deep relationship with Barcelona in Spain, and Barcelona's red and blue uniforms originated from Basel.
There is also a famous city on the west bank of the Rhine River - Strasbourg in France, which is called the capital of Europe because the European Parliament is here.
Stopping and going like this, William and Hermione disembarked near Lake Constance after several days of travelling.
The ship will continue upstream, heading towards the Alps.
After the last wizarding war, the British giants were expelled and migrated to the deep mountains of the Alps.
No one knows exactly where they are hiding, and Hagrid and Mrs. Maxim need to keep looking.
This time may take a long time.
After getting off the boat, William left Hagrid's extremely cool motorcycle by the way.
Maxim doesn't like motorcycles, she only likes the old-fashioned means of transportation like horse-drawn carriages.
Besides, with the size of the two of them, the motorcycle couldn't bear it at all, and it would blow out directly.
Hermione checked the map of Austria for a while, and finally determined the route.
William's fingers reached under the front fender of the motorcycle and took out a small magnet box.Inside was a key.
He inserted the key and started the motorcycle.
A few seconds later, Hermione got on the motorcycle and sat behind him.
From nowhere, William took out two safety helmets and handed one to Hermione.
After Hermione put on the helmet, she hugged William's waist tightly.
William kicked the accelerator, and the motorcycle rushed out like an arrow.
The power of the car was stronger than William expected, and after several meters, the wheels almost left the ground.
William stepped up the accelerator, and the loud roar of the motorcycle caused the wild ducks by the lake to fly in fright.
"Let's go, head towards Vienna..."
……
……
town of Braunau,
Located on the Inn River in Upper Austria, Austria.It is about 90 kilometers from Linz and about 60 kilometers from Salzburg.
Such a remote town should be unknown, but it is well-known in the world of muggles and wizards.
Because of two people:
a muggle,
a wizard.
The Muggle born in Braunau has a series of multiple titles like Long Ma:
Braunau's painter boy; Viennese street bum; Corporal of the 16th Bavarian Reserve Infantry Regiment; Loser of the Beer Hall Riot; world-renowned best-selling author; Chancellor of the German Third Reich.
And... the eternally happy leader of the ghost animal area.
As for the wizard, it was the famous first-generation Dark Lord-Grindelwald.
Back then, Grindelwald built Nurmengard Castle not far from the town of Braunau.
This castle is also the prison where he was imprisoned after his defeat by Dumbledore.
At this time, in a cold bar in Braunau, sitting a wizard wrapped in a robe - Gray Rozier.
In the past few days, he traveled all the way to this country and then to this small town.
For the sake of the Dark Lord, he was looking for another Dark Lord.
After taking a sip of his second glass of tonic water, he began to look at the row of colorful wine bottles behind the bar.
"A glass of Grüner Veltliner? It's an Austrian specialty."
The female owner of the bar is in her thirties, with a plump figure and a playful smile on her face, staring straight at this handsome man.
Although this man was dressed strangely, she could feel that he was a rich man.
Rozier ignored the female boss' winking eyes, shook his head, and said in German: "No, thank you."
Anyone can stay sober in the desert, he thought to himself, but only a faithful believer can resist temptation, even in a drinking pool.
He needs to be absolutely sober now to carry out the night's tasks, not to drink some alcohol and numb himself.
He touched the pocket of the robe, and there were several letters in it.
The signature was Vida Rozier—Rozier's aunt who had never met.
This is of course a fake letter, but only in this way can Grindelwald be successfully contacted.
However, there is nothing wrong with the handwriting, and Rozier imitated it according to the handwriting left by Vader in previous correspondence.
He thought about it for a while, and there should be no omissions.
Thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the shrill doorbell of the bar.
Rozier suddenly picked up the tonic water and took a big sip.
I should go too, he thought, and got up from the stool.
He wanted to pay the bill, but the proprietress of the bar gave him an unexpectedly long wink and waived the bill.
It seems that as long as Rozier is willing, not only can the bill be waived tonight, but he can also taste the "Austrian flavor".
With an indifferent face, Rozier turned around and left without any response.
The door of the bar was knocked open, and two burly guys stumbled in.
They wore red and blue soccer jerseys with their bellies exposed and sang the Austrian national anthem out of key.
Obviously, in this afternoon's game, Rapid Vienna won away, and they were celebrating.
"My God!" One of the men stared at Rozier's elegant and gorgeous robe, and shouted:
"What a strange costume! Are you from a circus?"
The two laughed endlessly, and walked towards him unsteadily, as if they wanted to pull his robe.
Rozier took out his wand and shot two green rays of light, and the two of them lay on the ground coldly.
The female proprietress screamed hysterically, pounded the bar hard, and shouted in German: Murder! "
Rozier turned around and pointed his wand at the lady proprietress.
Immediately, her eyes were confused, and she went to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife.
Just modify the memory... A simple spell, the Austrian Ministry of Magic will not detect abnormalities at all.
Rozier walked to the bar, took another bottle of tonic water, and put it in his pocket.
Not to mention... Muggle drinks are really good.
Walking out of the bar, Rozier breathed the fresh air and walked along the alley towards the Duozi River.
Not wanting to attract the attention of Muggles, he hid in the shadows.
There is still business to do tonight, so we can't make any more troubles.
He straightened his robe, and sorted out the tasks in front of him.
Tonight is the invitation of the century - the great meeting of two Dark Lords.
But he... is the unbreakable bridge.
