Althea noticed the change in the expressions on everyone's faces and kept it in mind, then walked over to the mahogany table and turned the oil lamp placed on it.

The walls shook and cracked, and a large number of stone bricks quickly sank into the ground, and a narrow passage soon appeared in front of everyone.

"Since you've all seen the note, come in!" Althea turned her head to the wizards and said a word, then led the way into the passage.

On the way to the conference room, Althea explained the principle and precautions of the Loyalty Charm to the wizards who had not yet figured out the situation, and they inevitably had some unnecessary misunderstandings.

"There is such a magical magic? No wonder I don't remember being here before......" Grace said in a stumbling voice.

Most of the wizards present had also learned of the Loyalty Charm for the first time, and they were all surprised to discuss the magic of this magic in private.

Avery and Rozier did not participate in the discussion, and a sense of superiority rose in their hearts, and they had long recognized this as a curse of loyalty to the heart.

And such high-end magic can only be understood by pure-blood wizards with extraordinary knowledge......

When Althea pushed open the door of the conference room, the noisy chatter suddenly stopped.

Faintly, there was a coercion that spread throughout the conference room......

Every wizard who walked into the conference room felt as if they were being targeted by a ferocious and brutal fire dragon, and the alarm constantly sounded in their minds, urging their bodies to get out of here as soon as possible.

But no one dared to turn away, but one by one, like the most docile sheep, they walked into it in a long queue.

The entire conference room was dim, illuminated only by a magic lamp hanging from the ceiling, and the scope of the light was limited to the vicinity of the conference table.

Ivan Hals, who summoned them, was sitting on the main seat at the moment, half of his face was obscured by shadows, and he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, and the coercion that vaguely floated in the conference room was transmitted from the other party's body.

He's become even more terrifying than ever! At the first sight of Ivan, such a thought inevitably popped up in everyone's hearts.

A slight look of regret appeared on Avery's face, and he couldn't help but wonder if he was on the wrong side this time, even the mighty Dark Lord had never been in such a way that he could not help but wonder if he was on the wrong side this time......

The rest of the wizards were also trembling and did not dare to approach, and they walked for ten seconds from the door to the conference table, which was less than three meters away.

Even when they came to the conference table, no one dared to sit down, because there were only forty-five chairs next to them, and there were fifty of them!

Who should be standing? Who will be allowed to sit down?

Due to Ivan's power, everyone didn't dare to ask at all, so they had to turn to Aisya for help, hoping that she could give an answer.

However, Althea pursed her lips and did not answer, such a situation was also beyond her expectations, Ivan had not consulted her beforehand, so she did not actually know.

Under the silence of Althea, the atmosphere in the arena became more and more solemn, and the silence in this conference room of fifty people was a little scary...... The only sound of deliberately suppressed breathing could be heard between them.

Some people are puzzled by this, and naturally some people are extremely frightened.

Avery was one of them, nervous and panicked in his mind, fine beads of sweat seeping through his forehead, and the robe behind him was even wetter.

Avery certainly understood what the forty-five seats represented, which meant that Ivan Hals thought that five of them did not deserve seats, or that they did not deserve to be alive at all!

Unfortunately, I could be one of the five!

However, it was obviously too late to escape, and Avery had to hold on to his wand and hide in the crowd with a hint of luck, trying not to attract attention.

"Long time no see, guys!"

In the midst of the silence, Ivan finally spoke, his black eyes staring at everyone present, and after scanning the circle, he nodded again and continued to speak.

"Very well, no one was absent this time, and I thought that some of you would not dare to come to this party...... So I didn't prepare seats for them. ”

After the words fell, Ivan clearly felt that some of the wizards' mood swings became more and more intense.

Although none of the wizards present dared to look him in the eye, Ivan first used dragon power to deter and then engage in mysticism, in order to break through the mental defenses of these people and amplify their emotions.

Now it seems to be working well, and even with his eyes closed, Ivan can clearly feel the tension, fear, and remorse escaping from some people's minds.

"Your Excellency Hals, do you have any important things to order when you gather all of us this time?" After about half a minute of silence, Walker couldn't help but ask, he really couldn't stand such an oppressive atmosphere.

"There is indeed an important thing." Ivan nodded, then continued. "But before I can do that, I need to make an announcement!"

"Fifteen years ago, everyone in the wizarding world was afraid to call him by his name, Lord Voldemort... It's back! ”

Perhaps because the news Ivan said was so shocking, the originally quiet conference room suddenly became noisy.

"Lord Hals, are you sure that's true? But the mysterious man must have been dead for more than ten years, at the hands of Harry Potter......" Joseph asked with a trembling voice.

"He's not dead, Joseel, never!" Ivan explained with a pleasant face.

"That cowardly creature is more afraid of death than any of us, so he's using some dark magic to make sure he's going to survive a mortal situation!"

Hearing this, everyone present felt a chill down their spines, and it was hard for them to imagine what kind of dark magic could be so powerful as to avoid death......

Ivan saw everyone's thoughts clearly, and said with a sneer. "Believe me, no one can easily avoid death, and neither can the Dark Lord, if you could see him like that, you would never have such a deep fear of him again!"

"I've had a few encounters with Voldemort over the years, when the Dark Lord lost his powers and looked like a poor lone ghost, no more capable of casting spells than a goblin......"
