In the Armenian forest, an elf-like girl appeared below the clouds.
She dances in the air as light as a feather, with long silver hair flowing in the wind, and blue and white magic armor "outlining" her graceful curves. Even the moonlight on a full moon night can't help but feel ashamed when it sees her, so this person Who is the beautiful girl?
Yes, that is Elena Kaslana, who is wandering in the vast sky, still searching for the figure of a certain reckless writer.
This unexplored virgin forest... is really huge!
The boundless, dark jungle has no identifying marks and is so quiet that it's even deathly silent.
Finding dozens of werewolves in a primeval forest stretching for thousands of kilometers is no less difficult than finding a needle in a haystack.
"Why hasn't the moon risen yet... Little Wolf, you should just say something..."
Elena looked around at the dark jungle below and muttered quietly.
At this moment, a silvery-white magical light point suddenly rose in the area behind her left that she had passed by.
In the distance, the white "Forget-Me-Not" magic fireworks bloomed in the quiet night sky.
…………
Hyperion.
The serious and tense atmosphere was mixed with the unique shrill voice of the goblin.
The information from Gringotts Wizarding Bank was sent through the safest goblin messenger.
In the past few months, as the wizarding circles of various countries have cut Auror budgets to varying degrees, the excess gold galleons have not been stored in the accounts of the Ministry of Magic. Instead, they have been flowing to officials at all levels in the name of various propaganda. News media, authority, in the hands of the ancient magic family.
Perhaps the wizards in the magical world don't understand how the economy works, and at this point in time, there is nothing that can be taught to them.
But when it comes to how to put money into your own pocket, greed is the best teacher.
As government officials who maintain the stability of the magical world in various countries, you can say that they are corrupt, greedy, and bureaucratic, but they are by no means stupid.
"Aiming at dark creatures, dark wizards...strategic misdirection joint plan? Tsk tsk——"
Grindelwald put down the information in his hand, raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
"I originally thought they were just looking for a reason to commit corruption, but I didn't expect that those guys really had some ideas? On the one hand, they successfully attracted their local magic forces and media voices, and on the other hand, they joined forces to weave a big network, and the werewolves It’s no surprise that I was deceived all over again.”
There are wizards among werewolves, but without exception they are struggling at the bottom of the poverty line in the magical world.
Even a wizard with a good family before becoming a werewolf, with a bottle of wolfsbane potion every month and various attempts, in less than a year, he will quickly "eat" all his wealth and fall into abjection. Situation - It is difficult for a werewolf wizard to find a job in the magic world. Under the education of many magic schools, wizards can easily notice those colleagues who call in sick every full moon. There is a reward for reporting werewolves.
Because of this, when the upper class of the magical world reached a tacit agreement, there was no worry that this plan would be leaked to the ears of the werewolves.
In fact, even Gringotts Wizarding Bank only discovered this secret after a targeted audit.
"Those bureaucrats will always surprise people when it comes to their own interests, but what I'm more concerned about is..."
Dumbledore shook his head, turned to look at Gallywix, who had arrived from Gringotts in London thousands of miles away, and asked worriedly.
"This report only shows their previous movements, but it is missing the most critical link - how many Aurors will appear in the Armenian forest at dawn tomorrow, and the direction in which they are expected to enter. If according to this
This list shows that at least eleven magical governments are involved in the 'Misleading Plan'. Fortunately, we missed the time with them, and it is still too late to retreat now."
"Retreat? Why retreat? Isn't this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?"
Grindelwald chuckled and looked at Dumbledore curiously, with a cold light shining in his eyes.
"Those magic officials used Lockhart and Aghasheyan as bait to attract werewolves from most of Europe to gather here, and they themselves were attracted by the werewolves. When they started killing in the forest, Huber
The Leon's magical realm will lock everyone in the forest."
"It doesn't even require advanced magic. Just relying on the Muggle weapons on this big ship is enough to clear most obstacles."
"This is a covert operation, and it's in the Armenian forest. I really can't think of a better time than this."
There is no doubt that no matter what era it is, the Ministry of Magic will always be the biggest obstacle standing in front of those who make changes.
Or to be more precise, those haunted, elm-headed Aurors.
Due to the general decline in the employment situation in the wizarding world, the Destiny Group's penetration of Auror headquarters outside the UK has been extremely slow. Now this secret "Werewolf Encirclement and Suppression" is obviously a good opportunity to make room for vacancies. The only trouble is...
"Well, dear Mr. Tower, the captain of the Hyperion is that child - the attack order can only be given by her."
Dumbledore glanced at the excited old devil unmoved, and reminded him softly in a calm tone.
"I'm very sorry. I don't think that child would give such a crazy order. Her soul is much clearer than ours. There are still more than six hours until dawn. Even if we fly back slowly with Comet 260, we still can't
Just in time for breakfast in the Hogwarts kitchen."
"The Hanged Man has sent out a guidance beacon. This emergency rescue should be almost over."
As he spoke, Dumbledore turned his head and looked at the distant sky beyond the bridge.
There, a blooming magic firework is slowly fading.
And further away in the sky, a small, silver spot of light was quickly approaching the location where the magic fireworks were emitted.
"Oh? Really? Then why did Mr. Pope ask about the number and location of Aurors in the surrounding area?"
Grindelwald grinned and shook his index finger proudly, with a wicked smile on his face that made people want to hit him in the face.
"Just in case, and as a persuasive reason——" Dumbledore replied calmly.
Ignoring Grindelwald's provocation, Dumbledore turned his head and looked again at the goblin standing not far away.
"Mr. Gallywix, the question I asked just now, is there any information from Gringotts Wizarding Bank or the wizards in black? Even if it is just a rough estimate, it is related to whether an unnecessary war will happen.
Outbreak. We must at least know the worst outcome first..."
"Well, there are a total of eleven magic areas involved in forging the 'Werewolf Recovery' news."
Gallywix said quickly, picked up the pile of information in his hand, and looked at it carefully.
"However, judging from the intelligence we currently have, there are currently only seven Auror headquarters of the magical government that have shown signs of participating in front-line operations. If we take into account the time and location of the actual encounter, strictly speaking, we only have to consider five
A magical government will do."
"Why are there seven Auror headquarters dispatched, but there are only five imaginary enemies in Gringotts?"
Grindelwald frowned and pointed out the strangeness of the goblins' analysis report in confusion.
Gallywix swallowed nervously and said cautiously.
"Well, because there are also the French Ministry of Magic and the Italian Ministry of Magic. After deductions by Gringotts analysts, they -"
"Okay, no need to explain. Let's continue."
Grindelwald curled his lips and waved his hand in disinterest.
Perhaps the "unexpected incident" that happened now is full of uncertainty and doubts in the eyes of Dumbledore.
However, as the Dark Lord who was once only one step away from unifying the magical world, Grindelwald figured out most of the links almost as soon as the information from Gringotts came through - he really knew those bureaucrats too well.
They haven't changed in all these years.
No matter which one is the starting point, the reputation of "Suppressing Werewolves" or the interests of "filling one's own pockets".
When the Ministry of Magic bureaucrats finalize this big plan, given their timid character, they will still do something practical.
This process is not complicated. It is still the same old methods of "wooing the wealthy gentry", "driving out wolves and chasing tigers", "bluffing", "mantis stalking cicadas" and the magic government's best skills... picking up bargains and grabbing credit, after all, back then
This is how they dealt with him.
From the beginning, Grindelwald was not worried about Elena at all - those Aurors were all scum.
As the devil king of the previous era, he wanted to know how long the fairy tale of the little witch could last.
After all, victory is a matter of course, but no one is injured and no price is paid... This is destined to be an illusory dream that cannot last forever, and tonight, perhaps Elena Kaslana returns from the beautiful fairy tale
to the reality of the opportunity.
He looked past Dumbledore and the young goblin who were talking to each other, and looked at the sky outside the bridge of the Hyperion.
The silver, small light point hovered in the afterimage of the "Forget-Me-Not Fireworks" for a few seconds, then fell downwards like a meteor, and soon disappeared into the towering dense forest. Compared to the boring conversation on the bridge,
Grindelwald was more curious about the story happening over there.
After hovering over the cold forest for so long, the little girl must not be in a good mood now.
