The Green Goblin color power filled the entire tavern, and the Muggles watched in amazement as the green light emerged like a whirlwind from the balding strange middle-aged man, and then spun around through each Muggle's body, and they saw a brilliant green like the deep sea, and then, the whole world calmed down, sank, and finally turned into darkness.

It's just an ordinary English countryside and it doesn't take much time to slaughter all the villagers. The Dark Lord's desire to kill was not diminished by the corpses that filled the ground. The glass in the bartender's hand fell to the ground and shattered into many pieces. The Muggle who was the first to ask Professor Quirrell a question had not finished his sip of liquor, and the glass was poured onto the table, and the liquor slowly flowed down the wooden table to the floor.

These people are the same as if they were asleep, the only difference is that their hearts stop beating and life is gone from them.

The Dark Lord doesn't have the traditional life-sustaining spells of a dark wizard. Such a spell was once learned by the ancient shamans of the Far East, the so-called art of gaining immortality through killing, which is the most terrible black witchcraft in the Far East.

Professor Quirrell didn't look at the fallen corpses, as the Dark Lord, he had produced a huge number of Yin Corpses that could help him guard his important things, such as his Horcruxes.

Dark shadows poured out of the tavern's windows and began to spread rapidly down the streets, and those with lights on, or Muggle-inhabited rooms, would be flooded by shadows, after which the house would fall silent.

In the Dark Lord's most powerful era, wizards feared nothing more than the Death Eaters, who would not only destroy anything they didn't like, but also loved to kill. Kill anything they don't like. Then put their terrible Dark Lord logo on top of that wizard's house and make all wizards feel terrified.

The Dark Lord loves to create fear, he is good at using it, and he can drive wizards crazy with fear and pain. His men, the Death Eaters, were just as cruel as his master in this regard, but they couldn't catch up with the Dark Lord, who ignored death.

The green light roamed throughout the village, and clusters of green flames suddenly appeared in the darkness, and then extinguished, and the whole village started from the tavern, slowly eroded by the darkness, and then really fell into darkness completely. The Dark Lord has turned this ordinary village into a dead land. The Dark Lord needs the death of these villagers in his plan, and he needs some Yin Corpses to help him protect this newly created secret weapon.

The Dark Lord slowly walked out of the tavern, the terrifying screams in the distance were like a dream, the entire village had been controlled by the Dark Lord's powerful magic, even if such a terrible thing happened, the Ministry of Magic's surveillance magic did not react.

The green light in his eyes dissipated in an instant, and Professor Quirrell became expressionless again. Abomination may have given him temporary terrifying powers, but eternal disregard for life has given the Dark Lord an inexhaustible source of terrifying power.

The events of this small village, thousands of miles away, though more cruel and terrible, were hardly noticed compared to the London Lagoon incident, because of its remoteness, and the killing of all the people in the entire village was not even as important as the loss of a noblewoman's pet in London. However, the biggest headache for the Ministry of Magic right now is how to explain the London Fire Lagoon to wizards.

The near-scorching impact was felt by almost all wizards living in London, who would not believe the news of Muggles. They want to know the real reason.

The Ministry of Magic investigation began that night, with Dumbledore himself involved, and the members of the Wizengamot Wizarding Order, almost all of whom lived in London, paid more attention to the whole incident than the Minister could have imagined. Under such pressure, Amelia Bones, the Auror Director, barely had any time to rest, and began to use any possible means to investigate the truth of the matter.

The progress of the investigation has disappointed everyone, and until now there has not been an accurate statement, and the news on the Daily Prophet has an official statement every day, but it is all some tacit "maybe", "maybe" and "expected". As the investigation of this matter progressed, unexpected things began to ferment.

And as the London Fire Lagoon incident continued to ferment, it almost changed the order of the entire wizarding world. Although the Muggles did not know, the wizard knew very well that such terrible magic must be the work of an extremely powerful wizard.

The wizards were surprised to find that what they had thought was a very powerful Ministry of Magic was weakened. Rumours and untrue news began to circulate from all over the UK. Even media outlets like the Daily Prophet are beginning to question the credibility of the Ministry of Magic.

An even more exciting news was broken by our acquaintance, the famous journalist Rita Skeeter: Azkaban had lost control, the Dementors had rioted, and the entire Wizarding World prison was now out of the control of the Ministry of Magic.

The wizards who knew the news were completely boiling. Some wizards who had relatives still in Azkaban immediately asked the Ministry of Magic to confirm the truth of the news. The Ministry of Magic, unable to deny it, had no choice but to admit the news. The ensuing questioning and even attacks on the Ministry of Magic have almost reached the point of being out of control.

Even though the Ministry of Magic announced the upcoming Quidditch World Cup, it still didn't divert much attention from wizards, and there were still wizards with relatives in Azkaban who came to the Ministry of Magic every day to ask for explanations. The exact location of Azkaban is not known to ordinary wizards at all, and when such a thing comes out, wizards can only strongly demand that the Ministry of Magic immediately release their relatives.

But the wizards who have remained in Azkaban so far are most likely to end up being food for the Dementors, and may return there alive and well. Although these people were heinous crimes, not all of them were sentenced to death, and even some wizards who had only to stay in Azkaban for a certain period of time now remained in Azkaban forever.

As time passed, in the last week before the Quidditch World Cup, the whole event became completely out of control, the Ministry of Magic was almost unable to suppress the almost crazy wizards, and many employees of the Ministry of Magic began to participate in the protests, and the entire Ministry of Magic was almost paralyzed.

Under these circumstances, Minister Fudge's usual neat hat and gown became a little wrinkled. Fortunately, the entire Auror Department was still functioning normally, and in order to mitigate the attacks of the wizards, Minister Fudge decided to conduct a deterrent operation before the Quidditch World Cup, so that all wizards would understand that the Ministry of Magic was still the ruling body of the entire wizarding world.

After speaking to the wizards of Wizengamot and gaining the support of Chief Wizard Dumbledore, Minister Fudge convened a meeting within the Ministry of Magic to announce that an offensive against Azkaban would be launched at a later date.

Rufus Scrimgeur, director of the Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic, will lead the operation, while Amelia Bones will continue to be responsible for maintaining preparations for the upcoming Quidditch World Cup and the London Fire Lagoon.

If there was one Auror who was as tough as Moody, it was Rufus Scrimthour, the head of the Auror Office at the Ministry of Magic. Rufus was a hard-liner who did not deal with most of the Ministry, and even openly questioned some of Dumbledore's ideas. This made him not have a good reputation among the wizards of Wizengamot. But the wizard is also a staunch opponent of the Dark Wizard, and he has even publicly stated that he believes that the actions of the Death Eater Hunters should be protected and supported by the Ministry of Magic!

This time, on Dumbledore's recommendation, Minister Fudge finally decided to use this ministry, which he had never dealt with him. Rufus Scrimgeour will lead a hundred-strong Auror Wizard Regiment against Azkaban.

At the same time, with the continuous activity of dark wizards, Muggles began to be persecuted to varying degrees all over the world, some dark wizards directly controlled Muggles and possessed Muggle property through terrible magic, and some wizards directly established their own small kingdoms, in their own territory, wantonly doing destruction. The Ministries of Magic in some small countries have fallen.

This happened all the time in the world, and as the government's restraint on wizards weakened, wizards began to intervene in Muggle life. This kind of thing is starting to happen in continental Europe, North America, Region 11, and so on. Especially on the African continent, wizards even colluded with local warlords to directly capture Muggles for dark witchcraft material.

Animagus wizards who can transform into vultures can sometimes even turn into vultures and eat children's hearts through secret methods. Legend has it that in this way, the child's life force can be gained. Many dark shamans from all over the world have already made it to Africa, preparing to set up their own dark laboratories there.

The emergence of the London Lake of Fire marks the end of the era of order and the arrival of a new era of horror and magic.

Dumbledore appeared alone in the castle, a place he did not want to come to, as his former best friend, Gellert Grindelwald, lived in seclusion. But now, exhausted, Dumbledore has to come to his old friend again to seek the help of the former Dark Lord of Europe.

To Dumbledore's surprise, Gellert Grindelwald was not in his basement today, but stood alone on the castle's tower, watching the sun set in the distance. His short silver-white hair was dyed blonde by the setting sun.

"I remember when you were young, you had blonde hair, and I didn't expect to see you like this again after so long. Dumbledore was instantly next to Gellert Grindelwald. Gellert Grindelwald seemed to have known about Dumbledore's arrival, and he didn't reply, "You're getting older, my old friend!"

"Yes, my country and I have grown older, and now we are almost dying. If I can't think of a way again, then this magnificent sunset will become the last beautiful thing. Dumbledore whispered.

"Your country has been lost in comfort and pleasure, and your so-called weaklings and wizards in need of protection have lost their motivation to forge ahead. They are studying art, discussing ethics, and desperately demonstrating their ability to accumulate wealth, but they forget that this world is a dangerous world, and we are like a group of ants who have no ability to resist, moving forward in this dangerous universe. Gellert Grindelwald said calmly and coldly.

But they are not obligated to care about the rise and fall of the world, and they do not have the ability to do so. Even if they want to influence the world, protect the world, and change the world, what can they do? They don't have the talent of you and me, and they don't have the foundation of those pure-blood families, it's so unfair for you to criticize them like this!" Dumbledore thought of Hagrid, thought of Newt, and his sister, those weak, did they naturally want to be weak?

"Yes, the world has deceived them into thinking that they are in a peaceful, friendly world, that they deserve what they have gained, that the sky, the sun, and the sea will be so beautiful forever. When they realize that all of this is a finite resource, they will be horrified to find that their lives are so precious. But it's too late, isn't it, my friend?" Gellert Grindelwald turned his head to look at Dumbledore, the two hadn't looked at each other like this in a long time. Dumbledore could barely remember the last time, perhaps during that duel, when both sides pointed their wands at each other, ready to kill each other.

Dumbledore saw his pale face and the infinite stars in Gellert Grindelwald's clear, baby-like eyes.

"No, as long as we change and try, it's not too late. Dumbledore did not avoid Gellert Grindelwald's gaze, he calmly looked into Gellert Grindelwald's eyes, and replied steadfastly.

After a while, when the light cast by the setting sun on Dumbledore's eyes had dissipated, and when Dumbledore's eyes also reflected the starlight, Gellert Grindelwald said, "You should know that the bottom of Azkaban is not an ordinary place, it leads directly to the Void, and the King of Dementors is there, and ordinary Aurors will only be sent to death. Rufus Scrimgeour was good, but it was still too dangerous for him. ”

"No, Gellert, I'm not here to want you to join me in dealing with the Dementor King, I can dispel him alone. I'm here to know the truth about the London Fire Lagoon incident. Dumbledore said calmly.

"The truth, Albus, why do you think I know the truth, don't you feel that the surging magic is beyond the realm of ordinary wizards, and even you and I can't easily make such a big move?" Gellert Grindelwald sneered.

"War magic has been sealed away for hundreds of years, and even at Hogwarts school, there are very few records of war magic. But in Europe, at Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, I know that you allow students to study what they like, and that some professors have access to some extremely dangerous things. Dumbledore said directly.

"No, Albus, Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, though more lenient with its students, is not so lenient that it can study war magic freely. At most, those young people were allowed to study some of the human transfiguration. In the same way, Dumbledore, you should feel the power of time that you can readily have, which is what your Hogwarts school does best!" said Gellert Grindelwald.

"Not only is there a powerful magic of time, but there is also a magic that has never been seen before! a magic that is full of destructive power. Gellert, you have a deep understanding of the dark arts, do you know what kind of magical power it is?" Dumbledore asked.

"Albus, I have been there for myself not long ago, and in addition to the traces of those magic lines, and what you call the magic power of destruction, I have noticed some other traces of dark sorcery. I think yours should be more familiar than I am!" Gellert Grindelwald said lightly.

"Do you think it's him, your successor: Tom Marvolo Riddle?" Dumbledore asked calmly.

"Dumbledore, the so-called Voldemort, was never my successor. You should understand that the difference between us is as obvious as the difference between you and me. As for whether it's him or not, that's something you should look into. I've heard that he shared his body with a Hogwarts professor through a Far Eastern soul-snatching mystic, and I'm interested to learn about such strange dark magic. Gellert Grindelwald said coldly.
