Chapter 690: The Vinegar King of Europe

Deal...... Do it all over again?

"The Oblivion Spell is not a panacea. โ€

Dumbledore turned his head and looked out the window at the clear sky, the corners of his eyes twitching.

"And...... You seem to owe me an explanation about that big ship, Gail!"

As the chief technician of the "Stratospheric Optical Stealth" project of the Hyperion, he was naturally well aware of what a terrible war fortress was floating above Hogwarts at this time, and the combat power of the resident wizarding legion on it.

A full formation of elven guards, two squads of Heliopa (flame elves), and three wizard battle groups.

In case of emergency, the shipboard stove can also be temporarily connected to the flyway network as a space beacon for remote support.

According to the drill, within a quarter of an hour, ten wizard battle teams could be drawn from the village of Kuibul in Devon, or supernumerary employees of the New Singers, directly to the current location of the Hyperion.

Compared to phantom shifting and portkey teleportation, this mode of transportation is obviously much more efficient and safer.

As the Headmaster of Hogwarts, Dumbledore had no idea of any other way to stop the "fishing boat" than to shoot down the Hyperion in advance and completely destroy all teleportable mobile fire sources before the Wizards of Destiny could assemble.

Of course, if a battle really breaks out, the mere numerical advantage is not so important in front of the top combat power.

On the other hand, even without the Hyperion as a last resort, there is almost no possibility of overturning in this tripartite meeting, whether it is the top combat power, or the number of people, light and dark, they have an absolute advantage.

"Take it easy, Albus ......"

Grindelwald grinned, put his hand around Dumbledore's waist, picked up a blueberry cookie baked from the Hogwarts kitchen from the plate behind him, and continued nonchalantly as he ate the cookie.

"You know very well that there will be few surprises todayโ€”Kingsley, I, you, Newt, just the four of us can subdue that stupid and short-sighted Ministry of Magic bureaucracy in an instant, so what the hell are you worried about?"

"Well, if Newt finds out it's you, maybe you'll have to be arrested again. โ€

"Newt may be a nuisance, but don't forget, I'm Paracelsus, a great alchemist with no argument in the world. Besides, I don't think there are wizards in this world who can resist you and me at the same time. โ€

"Oh, really?" Dumbledore raised an eyebrow, glancing at Grindelwald's left shoulder with a smirk.

โ€œ...... That kid doesn't count, at least she's still far from that-"

Grindelwald shook his head disapprovingly and smashed the biscuit in his mouth.

The blueberry cookies baked in the Hogwarts kitchen are really good, but the house-elves' cooking still lacks a hint of aura, unlike the dishes made by their granddaughters, which are slightly different every time.

"By the way, the re-rating of the Oblivion Charm, I've submitted it to the International Confederation of Wizards. โ€

Glancing at Grindelwald, Dumbledore stopped talking, paused for a few seconds before speaking again.

"If the amendment bill passes, then modifying and erasing other people's memories in the future may be considered a serious violation, and you should not always think about relying on the Oblivion Charm and the Confusion Charm to make a new choice, which is not a good idea. โ€

"It's okay, there's no way you're going to make this offer. โ€

Grindelwald said with a smile, "I don't know about the group of guys in the International Federation of Wizards, in order to hide the existence of the wizarding world, they can even sentence to death, and strengthen the control of the release of the Oblivion Curse...... Can they agree?"

"Even if the Federation passes, the Ministries of Magic and the Aurors will not agree. โ€

Grindelwald shook his fingers disapprovingly and said meaningfully.

"Secrecy law, this is a hurdle that I couldn't get around in the first place, and it is also impossible for you to change it. Decades have passed, and as the non-magical world has changed at a faster rate, the use of Oblivion and Confusion has only become more casual. โ€

"Of course, there's nothing wrong with you trying to suggest it, that's really your style. โ€

Grind Wharf paused, a hint of banter flashing across his face, and said slowly.

"The great Albus Dumbledore always saw the signs of problems, even if he couldn't solve them, but when things really got bad, people would at least remember that at some point, someone had warned them. โ€

"That can't be helped, maybe that's life. That's all I can do. โ€

At his desk, Dumbledore sighed helplessly.

As for the hidden dangers of the Forgetting Charm, he had always been a little worried.

As Grindelwald had said, the misuse of memory magic was nothing new in the corners of the Ministry of Magic that were unnoticedโ€”it may be difficult to modify and reshape, but destruction was always the easiest way to do it.

It's just that before that, the problem that Dumbledore understood was limited to situations similar to Lockhart's for the time being.

For example, stealing other people's wealth and knowledge and using memory magic to exonerate oneself from crimes, or dealing with witnesses before the Aurors arrive, so that they are not held liable for violating the Wizarding Secrecy Law......

All in all, most of them are still limited to how to eliminate the use of information that is not conducive to themselves.

However, the use of the "Oblivion Charm" developed by Elena some time ago made Albus Dumbledore feel as if he had seen Pandora's box opened, and he felt a chill from the bottom of his heart

Whether it's endlessly teasing and testing people's bottom lines......

Or to reshape the memories of others at will, fundamentally changing one's cognition......

If the Avada Curse was a literal takeaway of life, then a large amount of memory modification was a root wipe out of a person's soul, and it was difficult for Dumbledore to tell that the action was a little more evil.

You must know that the black devil forces were raging more than ten years ago, and at best, it was a terrorist attack by a few extreme wizards.

The Killing Curse is a powerful spell.

But in order for it to achieve the effect of killing, it needs not only a crazy heart, but also a certain amount of mana strength, and even spellcasting ability to support it, and at the same time, it will also distort the soul to a certain extent.

Therefore, all that needed to be done was the caster, and Voldemort's effects were almost over.

But the Oblivion Charm is different, it is a very basic magic spell.

Even the first and second year students of Hogwarts, after learning the corresponding spells and gestures, can mostly stumble and cast them, even if they can't achieve the same precise effect as the memory masters, but they can still erase their memories.

If Lockhart's deeds had been published in the newspapers, there would have been several times more imitations the next day.

It's just too dangerous!

The only good thing is that, for now, everything is still in a manageable embryonic period.

After months of scouting, the wizarding world's most prominent Memory Masters have either joined the Manifest Destiny Group or are under the watchful eye of the Special Containment Procedures Foundation, ready to implement the measures.

As for the laws that may be touched upon and the consequences if the Ministry of Magic becomes aware of them......

In Dumbledore's opinion, the risk and cost was worth itโ€”even cooperating with the Demon King was better than allowing an unknown demon to hide in the crowd and grow into a source of disaster that could shake the foundations of society at any time.

On the other hand, without continuing to delve into the Oblivion Charm, Grindelwald's face gradually began to become serious.

The original Dark Lord tapped his fingers on the parchment on the table, and his face turned grim.

"Albus, I'm a little curious, why did I take the initiative to cooperate with that girl's idea this time? The establishment of the Fantastic Beasts Society is a big trouble at first glance, there are so many magical governments and magical organizations that need to negotiate, I can't ...... it for you."

Transfiguration is not a panacea, there are too many ways to break it in this world.

In any case, when it comes to important things, neither Grindelwald nor Dumbledore will take unnecessary risks for the sake of saving a little trouble - after leaving Hogwarts, Dumbledore can only be Dumbledore.

"Don't worry, I'll visit in person...... It's tedious, but it's worth it. โ€

Dumbledore said lightly, with a hint of emotion in his tone.

"The unmagical realm that collapsed overnight is a warning to us. โ€

"The wizarding world has been stagnant for too long, there is less and less academic exchange between wizards from all over the world, and the relationship between them is becoming more and more estranged, and we need to get everyone together again - the Fantastic Beasts Society is a pretty good opportunity!"

"Regulating industry standards in the field of magical beasts, which will not cause too much opposition from forces, and at the same time have a certain social influence. Academic, Business, Political, Humanities...... There are a lot of things to learn from in the non-magical world, but it is too little to know what to integrate into the magical world like Elena. โ€

"Rather than waiting for the day when the wizarding world is exposed, and then start passively accepting the shock, it is better to actively digest it. Whether it's Hogwarts, or the Ministry of Magic, it's been a long time since we've seen anything new. Elena's idea may not be right, but it will definitely start a new wave, and whether it succeeds or not, in the end something useful will be left behind, and that's enough. โ€

Grindelwald narrowed his eyes, "How much did you tell Newt about this......"
