Chapter 372: Dumbledore's Conjecture
Chapter 371
In Su Yuan's expansion space, a whole row of shelves once again appeared. It is filled with all kinds of alchemical works that have succeeded or failed.
"In order for an object to become an alchemical material, you must first understand the full properties of the substance." These are the exact words of Nicol Lemay.
The first thing he did after seeing the myriad of magical materials from the other world was to sort through them. Then one by one, the characteristics of different body parts of the monster are tested, such as bones, blood, skin, muscles, scales, etc. After that, according to the different attributes, the secondary division is carried out.
This work alone took two months. After that, alchemy attempts to combine these materials with different properties are made.
And just when Su Yuan and Nicola were immersed in the world of alchemy. The world out there has begun to change dramatically. Under the guidance of some invisible forces, the anti-magic sect of the Second Semler was almost swept away. Public opinion has also rapidly become more moderate.
The Ministry of Magic noticed something unusual, but couldn't do anything about it. First of all, they are restricted by their own laws and cannot meddle in the world of No-Maj. Secondly, many of the employees of the Ministry of Magic are actually more happy to see this phenomenon. With the exception of a very small number of high-level executives, few were able to see the severity of the problem.
If you want to destroy an existing order, you must first destroy the guardians of this order. The current guardian of the wizarding world order is undoubtedly the Ministry of Magic of various countries. The traditional strategy of the U.S. Department of Magic is that what is magic is magic, and what is a hemp is a hemp chicken. We don't communicate with each other. Anyone who crosses the line will be severely punished.
This approach is perfectly in line with the worldview of American Hollywood films. But in reality, it's stupid. You know, the more extreme the rule, the easier it is to break.
Grindelwald only slightly guided public opinion, and made public opinion in the No-Maj world mild. And in this mild atmosphere, many magicians can't help it. The atmosphere before was tense, and all the magicians trembled. But now, everything is different.
Soon, Chairman Carmen's worst fears happened.
A magician who falls in love with a No-Maj girl. He was crazy about her, even revealing the secrets of the wizarding world for him. This is clearly a violation of the rules of the Ministry of Magic. But President Carmen was caught in a dilemma.
If it had been before, she would have not hesitated to punish the magician and then cleanse the No-Maj girl's memory. But now the situation is different. Unconsciously, the No-Maji world has become much more gentle towards the existence of magic. Many magicians are also happy to see this happen. Once he severely punished that magician, he naturally maintained the majesty of the Ministry of Magic.
But at the same time, it also broke the hearts of those younger generation of magicians. Because among the current younger generation of magicians, there is a voice that the wizarding world and the No-Maj world should communicate with each other. At the same time, this class-downing love also makes those young people feel loved. If you destroy this love yourself, you may lose the support of a large number of young magicians.
Carmen already understood the enemy's means. He didn't want to hurt anyone directly, he wanted to hurt the majesty of the Ministry of Magic, or the approval rating. It took hundreds of years for the Ministry of Magic to establish the current order. However, with the change of times, the regulations of the Ministry of Magic have not changed in the slightest, which makes the Ministry of Magic face an embarrassing situation.
Maintain order, lose the hearts of the people, or keep the hearts of the people, but lose their majesty. No matter which aspect you choose, you are an absolute loser. It was just a very simple trick that put the Ministry of Magic in a dilemma.
Grindelwald never wanted to coexist peacefully with No-Maj, but he didn't mind using a small public opinion advantage in the early stage to tear up the order of the Ministry of Magic.
"We need to find Grindelwald right away." Carmen didn't know how many times she had said such a thing. But she could already feel that the atmosphere throughout the Ministry of Magic was gradually changing. Their own orders are becoming dispensable. In addition to her old subordinates, she is gradually losing the majesty of a chairman.
Su Yuan didn't know how this rookie became the Minister of Magic. In the original book, she had all kinds of comical operations. Tina went to report that she had found some signs of danger. She said she wasn't qualified enough to enter that room, and without asking, she just went straight out.
When the problem expands, she complains that Tina didn't tell her before. Typical style of small leaders of state-owned enterprises. You can't be wrong, and those who are wrong are subordinates. In peacetime, this kind of operation is average, after all, everyone is like this. But in these sensitive times, the Ministry of Magic needs a really strong and capable minister. Carmen was clearly not among them.
These changes were also seen by another person, Dumbledore. He was equally puzzled by the current situation. He knew Grindelwald very well, at least he was the only person in the world who knew the strength and depth of the other party. But what is happening now is completely out of Grindelwald's style.
He is flamboyant, irascible, aggressive, and inflammatory. But what is happening now is a kind of sophisticated guidance and manipulation of public opinion. This is not Grindelwald's style at all.
Dumbledore didn't know what was going on. But he knew he couldn't wait. And that's when Newt found him. Told him a piece of news that was even more confusing to him. Nicola May is gone.
"We need to find Grindelwald and time is running out. I could feel that his strength was growing. If we can't stop him now, we may not be able to fight it when he takes the initiative to step up. ”
"The entire Ministry of Magic is looking for him, but for more than half a year, there has never been a news of him."
"Of course they can't find it, Newt, the Ministry of Magic is no longer credible. There's one thing I need you to do. ”
In this world, there are good people who know Grindelwald's true identity. Except for a few of his loyal subordinates, only Su Yuan, Tina, and Dumbledore knew.
"What?????? Is Graves Grindelwald? ”
"I know it's hard to believe, and I've only recently noticed it. There is some kind of contractual reaction between us. Like I said, the Ministry of Magic is no longer reliable. You don't know the horrors of Grindelwald. He doesn't need magic to be able to make people surrender. The Ministry of Magic may already be in his hands. ”
"But what can I do? Kill him? I can't do it, and if you can't do it, who in this world can kill him? ”
"No, you don't need to kill him. I want you to get something out of him. ”
