Chapter 1654 A war without a winner (one hundred and four)
This incident seemed abnormal to Albert. As the savior, it was normal for Harry's wedding to attract everyone's attention. His wife, Ginny, who had just grown up a few days ago, was also very topical.
What's more, the wedding was forced to end early due to harassment by Death Eaters, and it was normal for the wizards to talk about it after dinner.
But it is very strange that the wizard village under construction has become a hot topic among people. This matter definitely should not have such a high level of attention, let alone a lot of problems that will arise in the follow-up.
Don't forget, Kingsley and the Aurors all attended Harry's wedding, so they obviously knew about it.
What puzzles Albert the most is that Kingsley, the Minister of Magic, actually needs to personally intervene to suppress the relevant reports of the Daily Prophet?
No matter how you look at it, it's strange.
After all, the gossip-mongering Rita Skeeter is still in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries, or is it because of that unlucky guy who was admitted to the hospital? Therefore, the Daily Prophet did not dare to report on Harry's case rashly, so it took
Avalon is here to tell you something?
Everything seems so unreasonable?
No, it’s not reasonable, but it’s actually reasonable.
It can effectively help Albert eliminate some targets, not to mention it is not particularly difficult to pry information out of the reporter's mouth.
Before Albert came to visit, the reporter responsible for writing this article entered St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Magical Injuries.
The reason is also very simple, he is controlled by the Death Eater's Imperius Curse.
Yes, this news came from the Ministry of Magic, or it was the news brought back by Cedric.
Everything seems to make sense again.
However, the matter did not end there.
Although it failed to appear in the Daily Prophet, through word of mouth, many wizards in the UK knew that a second wizard village was about to be built under the auspices of Albert Anderson.
This news aroused the curiosity of many wizards, and they even wanted to see the legendary village with their own eyes, but they were never able to find the specific location of Avalon, which also made the legendary village a favorite among wizards.
Utopia.
Then, strange rumors suddenly spread, for example, Harry Potter lived in this ideal land, for example, if you want to settle in this wizard village, you need to get Albert's approval first, for example...
I don’t know why, but the rumors about Avalon are becoming more and more mysterious. Some people even reported to the Ministry of Magic because Avalon did not accept outsiders, saying that the village built by Albert violated the international wizarding regulations.
Law of Protection Treaty.
In short, all kinds of annoying and strange things popped up one after another. Although there was no news about this pile of rubbish, Albert had already smelled the smell of conspiracy.
He suspects someone is trying to cause trouble for him?
This is not a pleasant thing.
"How about explaining it?"
Cedric took the initiative to find Albert and talked about the recent weird Avalon incident.
Then, the next night.
Under the special arrangement of Lee Jordan, Shanna, who is the manager of Avalon, became an invited guest at the Wizard's Watch Station and talked about the recent hot topics about Avalon.
"Many people are saying that the construction of that wizarding village violated the International Wizarding Protection Law Treaty?" Lee Jordan held a notebook and read out the questions prepared in advance.
"No, it does not violate the treaty at all, because this village already received strong support from the Ministry of Magic when it was built." Zannah said calmly.
"Since it has strong support from the Ministry of Magic, why do the outside world say this is Albert Anderson's village?" Lee Jordan also knew what the audience liked to hear, so he asked some pointed questions.
"It's not a rumor, it's a fact. This land nominally belongs to Albert. Well, he originally purchased the land from Muggles and used it as the headquarters of the Defense Association."
"He spent money." Li Jordan sounded stunned.
"Yes, he spent money. It is said that the price is very cheap because it is abandoned."
"It's unbelievable."
??????55.??????
"Later, this headquarters was destroyed by Voldemort's men. It was not until the end of the Second Wizarding War that Albert decided to rebuild it to commemorate those who died in the struggle against Voldemort."
"I think people will not easily forget their bravery and sacrifice." Lee Jordan said softly,
"Everyone also believes that those heroes who died heroically in the fight for peace should not be forgotten." Shanna said with a smile, "So everyone participated in the construction of Avalon."
"I actually know what everyone is wondering about?" Shanna paused and continued.
"Although Avalon received strong support from the Ministry of Magic, the entire cost was actually paid for by Albert. The money came from the bounty money for killing Voldemort."
"I remember one hundred thousand Galleons." Lee Jordan gasped in exaggeration and said enviously, "He doesn't need to worry about Galleons in his life."
"Yes, one hundred thousand galleons. But the situation may be different from what everyone guessed. Part of this high reward is donated to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries to help wizards injured in battles.
Part of it was used to support the families of the heroes who died in the fight against Voldemort. Albert believed that they had paid too much in the war and should not have suffered misfortune in life. This money was provided by the Minister of Magic and
We stare together.
The remaining Galleons were invested in the construction of Avalon. Another purpose of building this place was actually to protect the heroes who had devoted themselves to fighting Voldemort and prevent them from being persecuted by Voldemort's remnants.
You have also noticed that Voldemort's remnants are still active in the wizarding world, and they even attacked Harry's wedding. I think Albert is very far-sighted, and this may be related to him being a master of prophecy."
"This doesn't seem to be the same as the rumors." Lee Jordan said following the topic.
"It's normal, because those rumors were deliberately spread by the remnants of the Death Eaters in order to disgust Albert, just like they attacked Harry's wedding. They had no choice but to use this method to deal with Albert.
Already."
"Many wizards believe it easily." Lee Jordan suddenly said.
"It seems normal to me. Cornelius Fudge did something similar back then. At that time, a large group of people believed that Dumbledore was a madman. They even used Dolores Umbridge to drive Dumbledore away.
Out of Hogwarts."
"It is well known that Dolores Umbridge helped Voldemort persecute a large number of wizards from Muggle families, causing many wizard families to die." Zannah made no secret of her disgust for Umbridge.
"That guy has also been punished." Lee Jordan changed the topic and asked, "I heard that you are the manager of Avalon Village."
"Yes, Albert appointed him. He has been compiling the "Dark Arts Defense Guide" for Hogwarts recently because he was previously commissioned by Professor Dumbledore, and I have experience in helping him manage the Defense Association, so
I was asked to help manage Avalon." Shanna said proudly.
"So does Avalon accommodate new residents? I hear the residents here are members of the Defense Society?"
"Not all, I'm not referring to the Harry Potters." Zanna continued in a tone: "In fact, if you want to be a member here, you need to help build the village, so what you see
Wallonia was built bit by bit by the residents here, and they have the permanent right to live here.”
"What if other people want to settle in Avalon?"
"Avalon is still under construction and it will take a long time to be completely completed, so there will be no new residents in a short time."
"However, when Avalon expands in its second round, it should be able to accommodate more residents. At that time, we will give priority to those wizards who participated in the fight against Voldemort." Shanna said to the audience near the radio: "The brave people should get it.
Award, not to mention that at that time they even had to put life and death at risk, I always felt that Albert was very Gryffindor."
After the broadcast from the Wizard's Watch Station, the entire wizarding world fell into a strange silence, and all kinds of rumors seemed to have disappeared. As we all know, they were all the conspiracy of the Death Eaters, and only fools would believe those rumors.
