A wizard standing next to Newt waved his wand, and a huge clock shadow appeared in the air.
Launching a large-scale rescue operation in the former Soviet Union is not an easy task. In this vast land that spans eleven time zones, even a small fallacy may lead to extremely serious consequences.
Following the wizard's voice, all the wizards present raised their wrists and began to adjust the time on their watches.
This is a goblin custom watch specially created by Gringotts Wizarding Bank. It will not be affected by any magic or electromagnetic interference.
At the same time, after referring to the "field support" magic of the Austrian Ministry of Magic, it will also record the mental and physical conditions of the bound person while being carried around. Once controlled or seriously injured, it will report to the nearest local contact point of the Destiny Group.
Send early warning information and send current location information in real time to provide remote strike coordinates for the Hyperion.
Although this place is under the jurisdiction of the Russian Ministry of Magic, after half a year of secret development, the Destiny Group has already established several reliable and secret transmission points in various cities. According to the worst-case scenario, even if a full-scale war breaks out,
They can also be broken into pieces at any time and blend into any non-magical city silently.
However, everything seemed to unfold according to the most perfect script.
The chaos caused by Gringotts and the Destiny Group on the front perfectly attracted the attention of the Ministry of Magic and the non-magical world. The tracks of their large-scale teleportation actions just now were extremely successfully hidden in the Auror mobilization of the Russian Ministry of Magic.
.
"London time, nine twenty-one...it seems they didn't detect our infiltration."
Newt Scamander said calmly, watching the pointer slowly passing by, and breathed out softly.
The Russian Ministry of Magic has the largest wizard action team. In fact, the imaginary enemies they have to face are not just the Aurors on the surface. There is naturally a reason why this land is called the "Gray Forbidden Land".
The International Federation of Wizards in Russia and Ukraine is as powerful as any individual Ministry of Magic. This is different from the United Nations Security Council in the non-magical world. As wizards with extraordinary power, this organization is not bound by national interests.
The Wizards' Federation has both independent jurisdiction and an independent wizard action team.
In fact, this is what Newt Scamander and Elena are most afraid of.
Compared with the politicians who can negotiate with the Ministry of Magic, these old world collectives that maintain the "International Confederation of Wizards Secrecy" are the most troublesome existence. Any behavior that provokes the laws of the old world cannot be compromised.
declare war.
After a pause, Newt took out a mobile phone and dialed the number of Gringotts' goblin liaison in Russia.
The name Elena Kaslana will not have any connection with the SCP Foundation. The goblins of Gringotts are undoubtedly the most suitable contact middlemen. The most obvious advantage is that wizards do not know how to identify a person.
Goblin.
On the other hand, perhaps the International Federation of Wizards and the Russian Ministry of Magic will consider revealing the existence of the wizarding world to the leaders of the Muggle government, just like the British Ministry of Magic did - but the arrogant and noble wizards will obviously not take it seriously.
It's a novel gadget for Muggles, and they wouldn't even think of monitoring the radio signals passing through the air.
"O5-1, Project Silver Fang, field security officers are in place, when can the containment begin?"
"About twenty minutes later, the exact time is 9:40 London time. From then on, this channel is semi-abandoned and the entire area enters a state of silence. O5-1, when this number is dialed for the second time, it is regarded as a containment breach.
, please carry out the purge."
"Confirm the scope of clearance and see if there are any A-level personnel on your side."
Newt Scamander recalled the secret message Elena left for him and said in a deep voice.
"According to His Highness Bu Langya's assignment, A-level personnel will not appear in front-line positions. If an A-level member appears, it means that there is a traitor in the organization. Please complete the removal work as soon as possible. All files have been adjusted to the American branch.
department."
"...I understand, I will - I hope I won't hear your call, thank you."
"Me too, I hope I won't receive a call from you. Goodbye——"
Looking at the receiver that was stuck in the busy tone, Newt was silent for a moment. He knew very well the serious consequences of this operation being completely exposed.
Rather than breaking out a war between wizards in the magical world in advance, sacrificing some of the Gringotts goblins and defining the incident as a civil war among the goblins is undoubtedly the most ideal and effective solution from any perspective.
.
This kind of extremely cold, but difficult to refute thing was really in line with his understanding of the two demon kings.
Fortunately, the scope of the rescue this time was actually not too large. There were only twenty-five wizard families in total.
Moreover, these are all old friends who participated in the front-line rescue in Chernobyl and were infected with the "Wizard's Sorrow". They were deprived of their wands and placed under house arrest in their own homes. The Ministry of Magic's vigilance against them is also through magic rather than artificial intelligence.
.
In Newt Scamander's eyes, Elena's arrangements were nothing more than exaggerated and over-the-top back-up moves.
Some time ago, he had visited door to door and received confirmed answers from everyone. Moreover, Newt knew very well the terrible and bureaucratic procedures of the Russian Ministry of Magic and the International Federation of Wizards - Destiny.
The group's smooth progress in the past six months undoubtedly proves this point. This is just a collective move.
They only need to make a time difference and successfully board the Hyperion before they can completely disappear into the magical world.
However, Newt Scamander didn't know that this time the situation was different from before.
…………
Russian Ministry of Magic, interrogation room.
There was a round table in the dark room, where the newly appointed Russian Minister of Magic, the Ukrainian Minister of Magic, the Belarusian Minister of Magic, advisors to the International Federation of Wizards, and a few officials from important departments of the Ministry of Magic were already sitting.
At the other end of the round table, two people were sitting, and the corner of the room was hidden in darkness.
In fact, calling him a "person" is not accurate. Apart from a wizard who looked a little timid, the other person sitting on the chair was a middle-aged elf in a suit and leather shoes with sharp eyes and a bald eagle logo on his chest.
"Then, the emergency meeting begins!"
The Russian Minister of Magic coughed slightly, and the quill on the edge of the table automatically floated up and started writing.
"Mr. Rulinflan, you want the Ministry of Magic to temporarily take over the business of Gringotts Wizarding Bank in Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and other countries, and arbitrate the conflicts between American goblins and European goblins - why should we do this?"
"Because... they betrayed the interests of the magical world! They intend to break the law of secrecy!"
The middle-aged goblin straightened his back and said harshly in a sinister tone.
"Betrayal of the magical community - this is a very serious accusation, involving the collective behavior of an intelligent magical race."
The consultant of the International Federation of Wizards tapped his fingers on the table and said softly.
"Where's the evidence? Goblin, I think you should understand the consequences of teasing the International Federation of Wizards and the Ministry of Magic, right? If you plan to let wizards become weapons in the conflicts of interest among the goblins, then you are making a big mistake."
Everyone looked at the middle-aged goblin and the wizard with evasive eyes, waiting quietly.
"Someone plans to rescue the group of 'Wizard's Sorrow' criminals who were under house arrest. That's right! It's the group of wizards who seriously violated the International Wizarding Secrecy Act a few years ago - there is no doubt that the European Gringotts goblins are doing this for them.
It helps!”
"What's the reason? Sir, we don't have much time to listen to stories."
