Chapter 1235: Troll's armpits

With the exception of Lunn himself with his strikers, the Ministry of Magic's armed Aurors have been dispatched without informing their nominal chief of staff.

In addition to the colleagues who have the task of guarding and guarding, even those on leave have been temporarily canceled and divided into several groups, except for some elite armed Aurors who will take the list of arrests in their own group to various places in the United Kingdom, and carry out corresponding means of arrest according to the different objects, more people will temporarily maintain the stability of the British wizarding world in the periphery.

At the Sluggiggs Pharmacy in Diagon Alley, Avery, dressed in a peacock green magic robe and carrying a pack of kitsunk insecticides, turned around to beckon his son to stop wandering home, and turned his head to find himself surrounded by the Aurors, and then heard the other party's identity to arrest him. As soon as he blurted out a slightly hesitant question, the Auror did not care about his age and was knocked to the ground cleanly. The young wizard in the shop was hearing the movement and came to check, and saw the old father being knocked down, so angry that he lost his mind and casually threw away a marten that he was carrying to bite the goblin in the garden, and took out his wand and tried to fight back, but before the wand could be pulled out, it was also knocked back.

In the bathroom of an ancestral house not far from Wiltshire and Malfoy Manor, a pure-blood wizard was shaving his beard in front of the bathroom with a magic wand in front of the mirror, and then saw the Aurors intruding in the reflection of the mirror, and just turned his head and let out a scolding, the wife in the kitchen outside ran over just in time to see the scene of her husband being knocked down, she screamed, and when she saw the Aurors coming over, she quickly covered her lips, and watched the Aurors take the witch away.

At Wizhad, the windows of bookstores usually display spell books the size of floor tiles with gold reliefs, but now, in addition to The Amazing Quidditch, they are filled with their own publications that are either obscure or blatantly anti-Ministry of Magic and anti-Harris under the banner of free speech.

Dempster Wigglesward, the former reporter of the Daily Prophet and now the editor-in-chief of the publishing house, who has been working against Harris, saw the Aurors leading the influx of troops, and he immediately put down his pen as if he was fated, he stood up and told the other employees not to move, and he cooperatively raised his hands for the Aurors to tie him up...

However, the Aurors did not act like other groups, as long as the arrested subjects cooperated. In addition to taking Wiggleswaard with them, they checked for a few hours and retrieved a lot of manuscripts, leaving the entire publishing house in chaos.

As the rude enforcers walked through the publishing house, the leading Auror raised his wand and joined his fellow colleagues in the group in marking a × Dark Mark on the door of the publishing house, indicating that the store was currently suspected of having Death Eater connections, and alerting the wizards to their attention.

Soon, the big move of the Ministry of Magic caused a sensation in the wizarding world that day.

As for the Aurors' sudden arrest of many people on charges of association with the Death Eaters and leaving warning signs in front of their houses, the pure-bloods of England knew that this was inevitable after the Malfoy incident.

The purebloods, who have no real way to fight back and defend themselves, can only give the measures and self-protection actions they can think of, they use the strength and influence that the family has accumulated in Britain over the years, and use all the means that can be used to try to distort the Ministry of Magic's series of actions are the Harris family taking the opportunity to take revenge and seize power, they also list the declining income accounts of the family business, tax payment certificates, and some families also list the contributions of their ancestors to the wizarding world, hoping to win the sympathy of the people, implying that they are victims of political struggle。

These statements pale in the face of the evidence provided by Lucius Malfoy in an interview, and the assassination of Lucius frustrates the purebloods' attempts to use the Malfoys' reputation to prove his words untrustworthy.

However, because the number of arrests is not small for the wizarding world, this has indeed caused panic and sympathy among many people, especially some families who previously stood for neutrality, and when they saw their distant relatives being arrested one by one, they began to fear that Harris would take the opportunity to burn them to further control the British wizarding world, and began to make some statements against this kind of large-scale white terror on camera, and secretly supported some protests sympathetic to pure-blood families.

However, the Floating City, which is also currently a member of the British wizarding community, has brought in immigrants from all over the world on a large scale before, and they will undoubtedly trust Harris who accepts them and provides them with good living and working conditions. Moreover, for many of the immigrants themselves because of the burning and looting of these Death Eaters, the refugees who were exiled, not to mention the bitter hatred of the wizarding mystery people who had their relatives killed, after seeing these Death Eaters who had been funded by pure-blood families, their long-suppressed anger and humiliation reached its peak, not to mention that even the mystery man himself was born in England- Unlike the natives of the British wizarding world, who have lived more or less inevitably with the inheritance of these pure-blood families for a long time, the immigrants have no idea how much these pure-blood families have contributed to Britain.

The Aurors, nominally to warn the public about the houses and shops suspected of having ties to the Dark Lord Death Eaters, became a cathartic outlet for their anger, and for a while, the shops of these pure-blood families were stolen and smashed from time to time, and even the ordinary wizards who worked in them were abused and even attacked.

In addition to the reasons for revenge, many of them can be regarded as showing the despicable side of human nature.

The locals were getting better jobs and being paid better, and they had to do some work that even required them to serve Muggles to make ends meet, and some sneaky people thought that if they could defeat the traditional powers, the new forces might provide them with more and better jobs, so they protested just as hard - protesting against the support of the Dark Lord's purebloods, protesting against the protests of sympathizing with the purebloods.

The patrol Aurors under Scrimgeour, the head of the Auror Office, have been trying to stop this illegal behavior, but this stop has become a duplication of effort when the Law Enforcement Department has temporarily not allowed the markers to be erased due to the need for ordinary people to have their right to know, and needs to wait for the outcome of the trial.

Everyone understands that this is Harris taking the opportunity to purge the British wizarding community, but everyone also understands that some pure-blood families have played with their own fire this time, in a vain attempt to use terrorists to stifle Harris from crossing the line.

The White Wizard Dumbledore, who was used as the last straw for help, had no way to protest like the pure-blood hopes that were pinned on him. What's more, Dumbledore himself was unhappy with the purebloods and owed Harris favors because of Grindelwald's affairs - of course, this is more important because the Ministry of Magic is now nominally in control, and Dumbledore is very disgusted with this kind of political struggle, but as a white wizard who almost regarded fighting the Dark Lord as his last career in the second half of his life, the purebloods' funding of the Dark Lord really went too far is considered to have touched his bottom line.

On television and in the print media, Ministry of Magic officials would go out of their way to promote the legitimacy of their actions and the dangers of the Dark Lord, and the few officials who were pro-pure-blood would dare to talk nonsense at such times. The reason why the Ministry of Magic has not carried out internal cleansing is only due to the fear of influence and evidentiary factors.

The day after the arrest began, the Minister of Magic, Owen, had to calm the protesters.

"The Ministry of Magic has always been committed to fighting the Death Eaters, and has invested enormous manpower and material resources in this end. But I didn't expect that there were so many of our own people in Britain who supported the mad Voldemort for their own selfish interests. As a result, how many families in other countries have been displaced because of this, and how many shamans have lost their relatives, lovers, children...

We cannot afford to watch these nations suffer, and we cannot deny that we are partly responsible for Voldemort's wreak havoc in the countries of Europe.

Now, Mr. Malfoy has handed over the incriminating evidence to the Ministry of Magic, and we have taken him and his family under close protection after his assassination. The Ministry of Magic will examine the evidence of these crimes! Those who are found to be true will be tried as they deserve, and will not be tolerated because of who they are... In fact, I'm even more saddened by the fact that in the course of this review, we at the Ministry of Magic have found out even more about the illegal trade in contraband... Again, I assure you that this censorship will not end anytime soon, and the Ministry of Magic will..."

A sudden sense of uneasiness caused Owen to stop talking.

"Get out of here!" - some people shouted in horror from the factory not far away!

Several well-trained armed Aurors pounced on the situation when they saw the odds, but they were not as fast as the Necromantic Knights, Owen had been shielded by the Viking Knights who had shielded their master in the circle, and the protesters were not yet aware of what was happening and looked around blankly.

In an instant, a dazzling burst of magical light erupted from the side of the factory.

With a loud "boom", it was as if a drumstick had knocked on the heads of the people present as a big drum, and many people found that their ears could not hear anything for the time being, only some buzzing sounds.

Surrounded by the Death Knights, Owen had just drawn his wand and was about to cast some extensive defensive spells to help the others, but a foul-smelling shockwave pounced, and the force of the charge was resisted by the shield of the Necro Knight's pestle on the ground, but the strong stench resembling the troll's wet armpits easily knocked the Minister of Magic to the ground.

For a short time, Owen was so smoked that he couldn't think at all, and he fell to the ground in a trance and felt that his eyes were indeed open, and the hot feeling made him unable to see anything, and the explosion just now made him unable to hear anything for the time being.

Owen felt someone dragging him to the center of the shield, and the touch of the moon and his heels being dragged to the ground and the cold feeling of his armpits came from the highness, so that Owen was sure that the Necro Knight was indeed tugging on his armpits, and then the recovering hearing made him hear some vomiting and coughing sounds of being snatched.

The windows of the surrounding streets also began to shake because of the explosion, and some slimy brown substances with ugly spots fell on the streets like raindrops, and some even stuck directly to the camera, looking like mutated slugs, which emitted a stronger smell of trolls' toes or armpits, and also made the range of stunted and vomiting begin to expand.
