Chapter 381: Sprouts

Even in Eastern Europe, Vinogradki, as a minister, is quite aggrieved.

Like the twenty-eight pure-blood families in the UK, Eastern Europe is, of course, homegrown pure-blood families, far more numerous than the narrow British Isles.

Just keep in mind that the "purebloods" that wizards claim are not actually pure bloods, as Harry's friend Mr. Ron Weasley accused: it's funny, most wizards are half-bloods nowadays, and if it weren't for Muggles, we'd be extinct long ago.

To put it bluntly, the pure blood of wizards is just their own conjecture and YY, fantasizing that their ancestors have a noble and mysterious bloodline.

And pure-blood does not mean excellent, nor does it mean rich, most pure-blood descendants live a very ordinary life, as the saying goes, the gentleman's Ze, the fifth generation and beheaded, no matter how great the descendants of wizards, the next few generations will be lost to everyone.

However, there are exceptions to this situation, and Vinogradsky is well aware that at least part of the Ministry of Magic's connections and promotion channels are monopolized by a few "long-established" pure-blood families in Eastern Europe, which also leads to his lack of security as the Minister of Magic.

Vinogradsky was a minister recommended by close Muggle wizards, and his own ascension to power was the result of pressure from the International Confederation of Wizards and the growing opposition of ordinary local wizards to the Pureblood against the current Soviet regime.

To put it simply, the pure-blood faction retains great dissatisfaction and hostility towards the current Muggle regime in the Soviet Union, and it is easy to explain that many pure-blood wizards in this land of Eastern Europe were themselves nobles of the old Tsarist period.

Hundreds of years ago, they were "pure-blood wizards" and White Russian nobles, and they were given dual rights in the world of Muggles and wizards.

It was not until the defeat of the Romanov royal family that these White Russian wizards gradually withdrew from the stage of history, and like ordinary wizards, they chose to use hidden charms to protect themselves and their families.

There is a rumor that when the Red Army was about to execute the Tsar's family, the White Russian wizards once ran to the rescue, but they failed to save the family, and only protected a little girl, the last princess Anastasia.

Vinogradsky has been cautious and conscientious since he took office, and he has managed to keep his position as minister, but the pure-blood wizards of White Russia have always been eyeing him as an "opposition" minister.

To say that he does not want to kill political opponents and seize power, it is naturally impossible.

Anyone has ambitions, including Vinogradsky, and he shook his head: "How can this kind of thing be done, those people are not simple, their forces are intertwined, and they have many connections, we can't easily eliminate all these forces." ”

When he said this, it naturally meant that Vinogradsky was interested in Drake's plan.

"Don't worry, I, Drake naturally has the ability to help you with everything."

Drake stretched out his hand and waved it into the air, and the thick dark clouds and night outside the Ministry of Magic office were lifted by a powerful force, and the sunlight was cast from the sky, and the whole of Moscow maintained it for nearly ten minutes and a half.

Ten minutes later, the sky was clear again, and there was not even a single cloud, as if the rainstorm was just an illusory shadow.

Vinogradsky opened his mouth again, his face was stunned, and his eyes showed a look of fear, nay, excitement.

"This ...... Is this your magic? ”

He opened his mouth tremblingly.

"No, it's just magic, a new magic I've researched through the occult, a whole new system that surpasses the magic created by the old wizards."

Drake smiled and said, "What I bring is a reform, and a great revival, and the wizards will climb a higher level in our hands." ”

He stretched out his hand, and Vinogradsky had no way to refuse him, nor could he resist it.

The only thing he could do was take the initiative to hold Drake's hand.

This handshake also symbolizes the arrival of a great era.

————————

The wizards felt the fear, and everyone had a sense that the rain was coming.

The first of a series of orders issued by the Moscow Ministry of Magic was that at least thirty-two members of the pure-blood family were involved in and plotting the assassination of the current Minister of Magic, Vinogradsky.

Vinogradsky was injured and temporarily hospitalized.

The Ministry of Magic issued a strong reputation, demanding that these thirty-two White Russian wizard families hand over the murderers for a time limit of three days.

However, this is only the first wave of unrest, or rather, it is a means to confuse the situation.

At least seven White Russian wizards protested that day, but they were arrested on the spot by the righteous qi masters directly under the Ministry of Magic, and sent to the underground wizard cells of the famous Butelka prison on the same day.

This naturally caused an uproar, and the White Russian wizarding family no longer sat idly by, and some people even expressed their opinion in the wizarding newspaper of the day, "Pravda", that it was a conspiracy by Vinogradsky and the Ministry of Magic.

A few hours later, while the wizard was staying home for dinner, a fiery dragon suddenly attacked his home.

The White Russian wizard and his entire family died.

The Ministry of Magic issued a statement once again, they knew that there were outlaws who secretly manipulated a fire dragon to commit murder, and asked all wizards to be vigilant and not to go out easily.

All of a sudden, Guardian Spirits, messenger crows, and flying messages flew around Moscow and nearby cities, but ordinary Muggles could not see this.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the International Federation of Magicians consulted with the Soviet seat of the International Federation of Magicians in Moscow to inquire about the current situation in Russia, but the Moscow Ministry of Magic said that everything was under control.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, another White Russian wizard family was attacked by a fire dragon, and when the righteous qi master of the Ministry of Magic arrived at the scene, only the wreckage of the building was left and several charred corpses.

The next day, the Ministry of Magic began to urgently gather dragon slayers and powerful wizards from all over the country to prepare for a dragon slaying battle.

It was only when they rushed to the Fire Dragon Research and Restriction Bureau of the Ministry of Magic that the group found out that they were under house arrest.

Their wands were confiscated, and all were bound by spell ropes, and asked to remain safe for the time being.

Some people realized that something was wrong, but unfortunately they couldn't even send a message now.

At the same time, the major families of the White Russian wizards also realized that the situation was a little out of control, and the Gorchakov family, a pure-blood ethnic group with a long history among the White Russian wizards, decided to hold a pure-blood secret meeting to discuss countermeasures.

This message was sent through secret channels, and that night, the White Russian wizards with their reputation and mysterious bloodlines gathered in the mansion of the Gorchakov family to discuss the next move in pureblood.
