There was no shouting at the top of his lungs, no ferocious instigation, Grindelwald just expressed his views calmly and sincerely.
It is precisely because of this that the wizards surrounding him become more and more fanatical.
"I never call our actions a war, it is just an action to safeguard our rights." Grindelwald stretched out his hands, "Go, my friends, return to your positions..."
The corners of his mouth curved slightly: "It's time to take action..."
The crowd didn't hesitate at all, the explosions continued, and they all apparated away from the scene.
In the end, only a few people stayed.
Grindelwald walked up to a man with his hands behind his back and patted him on the shoulder affectionately.
"Anton, you and I are getting old."
The white-haired old man took off his hood and greeted Grindelwald by stroking his chest.
"Lord Grindelwald, when you called me again, my heart was even younger than it was then. It was jumping for joy." The old man with white hair has a face that is calm and self-defeating. It is obvious that he has been living in this country all year round.
High position.
However, his face now is full of loyalty and fanaticism.
If there are any older wizards here, they will find that the person in front of them is Anton Vogel, the then president of the International Federation of Wizards.
In the International Federation of Wizards, some higher-level people know more information about this person.
Anton Vogel, decades ago, when he served as the president of the International Confederation of Wizards, he repeatedly opposed the views of Grindelwald, who had not yet 'reformed' at the time, and strongly supported other people hunted by the Ministry of Magic.
Grindelwald.
At the same time, this person also secretly carried out many operations to suppress Dumbledore.
Many people believe that Anton Vogel is a strong and iron-fisted leader.
But what is surprising is that when Grindelwald shook hands with Dumbledore and made peace, Anton Vogel's attitude suddenly calmed down and gradually became mediocre.
Even in the subsequent presidential reelection campaign, Anton Vogel did not show much interest. He did not even pave the way for his own people, and just handed over the power in his hands calmly.
However, the chairman had already left a lot of his own influence in the federation team at that time. Decades later, his grandson Charles Vogel successfully became the current president of the International Federation of Wizards.
"Anton, we need more allies, and we need more people to wake up." Grindelwald said slowly.
Anton Vogel nodded solemnly: "The arrangements have already begun at Charles's place, and those of us left in the committee have also begun to take action. Everything you have requested has been arranged."
"Very good, my old friend," Grindelwald smiled with satisfaction, "Oh, by the way, the Guards are maintaining pressure and still hindering their search for Qilin. It doesn't matter whether I can get it or not, but I want you.
Make sure that Qilin cannot fall into the hands of those people."
"I understand - Lord Grindelwald, I have a question. If we can't get Qilin, what will happen to the position of chairman?"
"Don't worry," Grindelwald smiled casually, "It should be mine, it will eventually come back to me."
Although Anton was a little confused, he knew that Grindelwald had already had his own ideas, and the current plan should have been implemented decades ago.
He believed that the great wizard in front of him would lead them all to a new world.
Anton Vogel and the remaining wizards left here, and Grindelwald was the only one left in the small square that was originally bustling with people.
He looked at the half-moon hanging in the sky, seemed to be whispering to himself, and seemed to be sighing to the world: "Albus, why did you go back to the past..."
"It's just that a new curtain is about to open. Are you ready to stand on the opposite side of me again?"
He casually glanced at the dark shadows in the distance, and then turned his head back indifferently.
The smile on Grindelwald's lips grew stronger.
…
Wizards United Guards, secret base.
"Why did Grindelwald give the Kirin to Dumbledore..." Diane Allison, the then bodyguard, frowned.
In front of him, a hooded figure floating in mid-air said: "Moreover, he may have discovered the people under my command. This may be a cover deliberately used by Grindelwald."
Allison flicked the cigarette ashes, glanced at the floating man, and said softly: "Can you make sure that Dumbledore is definitely on our side?"
The man's voice was decisive: "No matter what Dumbledore's thoughts are, he must be in a cooperative relationship with us at present, and it is absolutely impossible for him to conspire with Grindelwald."
After hearing what the other party said, Allison felt a little relieved.
He knew that these guys who called themselves "Returners" were mysterious and unusual, and they also held wizard secrets that few people knew about.
In this case... Allison thought for a while and said: "Whether this is Grindelwald's cover or not, our plan remains unchanged."
"Why?"
Allison chuckled softly: "No matter what Grindelwald's current goal is, his ultimate goal must be to let wizards rule the world. Moreover, when dealing with people like Grindelwald, you must not follow his footsteps.
If he takes action, we must use corresponding means to deal with it? No, no, no, why do we have to deal with a prophet like this? Just continue our actions and ask everyone to be careful. I want the election of the president of the International Federation of Wizards to be held as scheduled.
…”
"And..." He smiled mysteriously, "The more chaotic the world is, the better it is for us, isn't it?"
The floating returnee nodded in agreement, and then asked: "Where is the little Badi?"
"Do I need to be taken away from the lowest prison?"
"Well, I'll have someone come and take him away in a few days."
Allison raised his eyebrows: "That guy is quite fanatical. He has been here for so many days and has not found out any news at all - but it is normal for someone who can cast the Imperius Curse on his father."
"Don't worry," the returnee laughed confidently, "the fanatical servant will confess everything to his master."
…
Sean, who was far away in Hogwarts, was busy looking through the information left by Ravenclaw. He was trying to get some useful information from the manuscript of the Big Four.
Unfortunately, time travel is an extremely dangerous behavior for wizards of any era, and even the knowledgeable Ravenclaw did not leave much information.
However, Sean did find some other useful information, which pointed to the identity of the group Sean had been searching for - the Returners.
Ravenclaw mentioned in one of his manuscripts the Twilight Zone, which is the area between the real world and the underworld.
After the death of a wizard, the soul will temporarily stay in a confusing illusion. Some souls die happily, while some souls cannot let go of their obsessions and choose to return to the real world as ghosts.
No matter what the choice is, the wizard will eventually die, and the magic power from his bloodline will dissipate in this world.
However, there is another situation that happens.
The most famous wizard in the world, Merlin, this legendary wizard seems to have invented a special spell. This spell can preserve the magic of the dead wizard, using the same blood and ancient magic, the deceased's
The magic power will be transferred.
But there is a limitation to this kind of transfer, which is that it requires entering a tangled illusion and communicating with the original owner of the magic power.
Ravenclaw only mentioned this part. According to her, this kind of magic spell has been lost with the passing of the legendary wizard Merlin, and how to transfer the magic power, transfer the magic power to a container, body, soul or something else, these details
The contents are not explained.
However, this information is enough for Sean to make a preliminary judgment.
Grindelwald once mentioned to him that the returnees were all long-dead wizards who had returned to the real world in an unknown way. Moreover, the few who Grindelwald came into contact with at the beginning [Return]
All of them are insane, and even the well-known good wizards in history have become madmen. However, their strength is not strong and they can only weakly affect reality.
Sean now suspects that the group of returnees returned to reality because of Merlin's curse.
Use this spell to preserve the magic power of the deceased, then enter a trance-like world to communicate with the souls who have never left, and then transfer the preserved magic power to the ghosts.
This was Sean's judgment, and he always remembered that Voldemort seemed to have some kind of connection with the returnees.
Although the research direction is very abnormal, it must be admitted that Voldemort has a strong say in researching the soul.
They are all experts in the field of souls, and they happen to be connected.
"I just don't know how many people there are in that group of so-called returnees, and what kind of strength they have..." Sean whispered to himself.
If a returnee could be captured and interrogated, many of his current doubts would be solved, Sean thought.
However, among the ghosts that Sean has come into contact with so far, the most abnormal one is the ghost horned water snake, but Professor Dumbledore solved that trouble, and the ghost horned water snake never appeared again.
Another person who may know relevant information is the ghost of Gormlaith Gaunt, but that guy has been completely petrified by the basilisk, and Sean is not prepared to rescue this crazy and paranoid soul.
Then the only choice left is the person Gormlaith Gaunt once mentioned.
"The great Salazar Slytherin is awakening..."
Sean didn't know the specific situation at the time, but now he can guess a lot.
Perhaps just like the returnees, the ghost of Slytherin who controls magic has awakened...
If that is the real Salazar Slytherin, then Sean is not worried that his life will be threatened.
It can also be found in the Slytherin notes he obtained that although the co-founder of Hogwarts was an extreme purist, he would not kill the lives of students.
In his opinion, this was a very shameful and dishonorable thing.
What Sean was worried about was that maybe Salazar Slytherin was not in a very sane state.
Of course, the greater possibility is that Salazar Slytherin may not have woken up at all after Dumbledore dealt with it.
"I'm a little confused..." Sean looked out and saw that it was the girls' bathroom on the second floor, which was also the entrance to the secret room.
It's a pity that the Room of Requirement cannot open the door there, otherwise Sean can secretly observe it.
"Oh...there are so many things to worry about..." Sean sighed.
The main reason is that the strength is not enough...
If he could be on the level of Dumbledore or Grindelwald now, he wouldn't have so many concerns.
Sean sighed alone for a while and walked out of the Room of Requirement, but happened to meet Stephanie at the corner.
Although the girl still had the same expressionless face, the worry in her eyes was clearly visible.
"Hi, Stephanie." Sean greeted.
Stephanie looked up and saw Sean. She naturally smoothed her hair and neatly gathered the messy hair together.
"Good day, Sean." She greeted softly.
"What are you going for? Professor Flitwick told me before that there is, uh, lunch later? It's best to eat before going to bed." Sean said.
Yes, the time is wrong again, today is October 30th, a full twenty hours have passed, but it is still daytime.
Professor Flitwick said that today might last for more than forty hours, or even longer.
Today happens to be Sunday again, but now that the Ministry of Magic has strict regulations and dementors roam outside every day, none of the outdoor activities that students love can be carried out.
In addition, there were only four hours on October 27th, and most people's biological clocks were a little confused. It often happened that some people were eating lunch, but others had already started to sleep.
Stephanie didn't seem to want to look at Sean. She rubbed her shoes on the ground uncomfortably and said softly: "I still have some things to do."
"That's it, then I won't disturb you anymore. I'm going to eat. See you later." Sean said hello and walked past the girl towards the auditorium on the first floor.
Before he had taken two steps, Stephanie called out to him, and the girl's voice sounded hesitant.
"Sean, how is your mastery of ancient runes now?" she asked suddenly.
"Runees..." Sean shrugged, "It's a little better than before. Ravenclaw's manuscript is indeed unique. However, I will get dizzy after reading too much runes, and Ravenclaw's manuscripts are indeed unique."
Crowe's manuscript is all written in runes, and some of the knowledge in it is also very profound. Overall, it's a bit tiring to read, but at least there is progress."
After listening to Sean's words, Stephanie raised her head slightly: "Then, wouldn't it be better if it were basic runes for beginners, coupled with Ravenclaw's explanation?"
"That should be a lot better...but does Ravenclaw have such information?"
Sean was a little confused. He checked carefully and found that Ravenclaw did not seem to preserve such less advanced rune manuscripts.
"Yes." Stephanie nodded seriously to him, said goodbye and left quickly.
