In 1927, Gellert Grindelwald held a large-scale public speech that affected the world at Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris, which was also the cemetery of the Lestrange family. That speech not only marked the 18 years of wizarding
The beginning of the war was also the first time that Aurors from the Ministry of Magic in various countries experienced first-hand the terrifying destructive power that the "top wizards" could cause after showing their fangs without scruples.
In Père Lachaise Cemetery, Grindelwald killed more than fifty elite Aurors in an instant with just one person.
If Nico Flamel hadn't arrived at the scene in time, teamed up with Newt Scamander and others to drive the demonic fire into the sky, and if Gellert Grindelwald didn't have a strong desire for destruction at the time, all of Paris might have been destroyed.
It will turn into a sea of fire under his war-level magic.
It was also from that day that, in addition to the name "Dark Wizard", a new classification logo appeared in the European magic world:
Dark Lord.
"... Any top-level wizard who cannot rely on the accumulation of numbers to compete, we call him a demon king."
"Only wizards at the 'Demon King level' can have the opportunity and qualifications to defeat the Dark Lord, such as Albus Dumbledore back then."
The speaker was a French Auror whom Cornelius didn't know. When the flames suddenly rose, he happened to be separated into the same grid as Cornelius Fudge and others. He looked very young and youthful.
The acne reflected a greasy sheen in the firelight, but the expression on his face was particularly frightening.
"This, this magic... This is very similar to the form of the magic Grindelwald cast in Paris - even if the figure by the campfire is not Grindelwald, at least he is a wizard with 'Devil King-level' strength.
...No, he will never be..."
"Okay, calm down, of course Grindelwald can't appear here -"
Cornelius Fudge frowned, patted the young French Auror next to him on the shoulder, and said with a smile.
"Not to mention that a few months ago, the International Federation of Wizards, well, and Albus Dumbledore himself had just confirmed that Gellert Grindelwald's imprisonment was normal in Nurmengard Castle. According to
According to the information held by the British Ministry of Magic, we are 100% sure that the old wizard who has committed crimes on the European continent will never step out of Nurmengard Castle. As for the 'devil-level' wizard..."
Cornelius Fudge paused for half a second, looking past the constantly dancing firelight to the looming figure beside the bonfire in the distance.
Ever since he learned that the "descendant of Grindelwald" was studying at Hogwarts, Cornelius Fudge checked a large number of files that night and used various reasons to borrow past records from the International Federation of Wizards and learned a lot in detail.
About Gellert Grindelwald.
However, unlike other wizards who were afraid of Grindelwald's danger, Connelly did not regard the old wizard as a threat from the beginning.
In fact, in Cornelius Fudge's view, compared to Albus Dumbledore, who is still active in the British wizarding world, has no desires but has a strong personal will and grand pursuits, he is trapped in Numonga.
Gellert Grindelwald of the Castle is even safer - as long as the young "Miss Grindelwald" is taken care of, even if Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic part ways, the British Ministry of Magic and he will not appear too much
Confused.
There is no doubt that Dumbledore is naturally a "Devil-level" wizard, and as the senior official in the current magical government who has the most frequent dealings with "Devil-level" wizards, Cornelius Fudge really knows how to deal with those with powerful powers.
The powerful wizards were chatting and laughing.
"Don't worry, our British Ministry of Magic is very good at communicating and cooperating with those powerful wizards."
Cornelius Fudge glanced meaningfully at the wizards around him, pulled out his wand, pointed at his throat and said.
"The voice is loud."
Immediately afterwards, his words instantly became like thunder, directly overpowering the howls of the werewolves.
His voice echoed above everyone's heads, reaching loudly towards the looming figure beside the campfire in the distance.
"Hello, I am the British Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge. I am accompanied by at least five or six Aurors from France, Greece, Turkey, and the Magical Government. Please release your magical flame cage immediately.
, otherwise we may regard your behavior as provocation——"
British Ministry of Magic?
Mr. Cornelius Fudge?
And...in addition to this, there were five or six other Aurors from the magical government who arrived at the scene?
In the dazzling firelight in the distance, Lockhart, who was confused by the sudden increase in "fire effects" around him, was shocked.
He squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of the sound, and then noticed that in the grids divided by the flames, there were hundreds of shadowy figures holding wands. If it hadn't been for Cornelius Fudge's sudden voice,
, he thought it was the two old wizards nearby who were showing off new magic.
"Don't be distracted, keep moving, don't let the werewolves around you notice that you stopped!"
At this moment, Grindelwald's stern voice sounded in Lockhart's ears, "When I say 'start', you just follow my words. When Albus's 'water prison' magic is finished, the two of us will
People will evacuate at the same time, and you will take over the rest of the communication work according to the original plan - you have memorized most of the rhetoric and spell-casting gestures, right? I wish you good luck. Now...start!"
…………
After Cornelius Fudge finished speaking, he pretended to be calm and looked ahead.
He felt as if he was about to sweat with the wand in his hand. Once those magical flames began to attack, he would wave the wand to fight back without hesitation - hundreds of elite Aurors from various magical countries gathered around him.
, Cornelius Fudge believed that even if the figure on the other side of the fire was Gellert Grindelwald, he would not start a magical melee in this situation. This is also Fudge's biggest reliance.
If there had been no battle, his tough words from a distance would have completely established the British Ministry of Magic's status as the "main speaker" tonight.
boom!
boom!
After a brief silence, Cornelius Fudge waited for the flame curtain wall behind to collapse.
"Please leave this area immediately, it is very dangerous here!"
A voice rang in everyone's ears. It was not loud but very clear, as if that person was standing beside them.
Compared to Cornelius Fudge's flamboyant "noise" that was blessed by the amplifying spell just now, this smooth and restrained sound transmission magic is obviously many times better, but Cornelius Fudge's mind is no longer on magic now.
, he shook his fist fiercely in his heart.
That's right! He made the right bet!
That mysterious wizard, like Dumbledore, is most likely a good person!
And just from the sound of his voice, the wizard was definitely not that old. He was middle-aged or even young at most.
If we can take this opportunity to let the other party become the support of the British Ministry of Magic, it will obviously be more meaningful in the long run than simply suppressing werewolves. After all, Albus Dumbledore is not young anymore and may leave in a few years.
In this world, Fudge had to start planning in advance.
Of course, before that, he first had to earn a guaranteed profit from tonight's unexpected werewolf siege.
"We are not leaving here, dear sir!"
Cornelius Fudge said calmly, straightening his back as if attending a news speech.
"In fact, our purpose here is the same as yours - to fight for peace and order in magical society."
"I really can't sit back and watch an admirable wizard with a sense of justice fighting dangerous werewolves alone. Moreover, the reason why these werewolves gathered here is originally the result of the joint efforts of the Ministry of Magic in our countries, as the leader of the plan
Together with the sponsors, we have the responsibility and obligation to bring a perfect end to the werewolf problem in Europe——"
