Chapter 293: A Worldwide Crisis
After the Grim Reaper escaped from the other dimension, there were a large number of mysterious invasions all over the world, and it was often countless beasts with scarlet light in their eyes rushing up, and it was difficult for ordinary wizards to rise up to resist the power.
These beasts are not living creatures in the first place, and they are not afraid of death, so it is difficult to deal effective damage to them.
Even the local Aurors rushed over in time to be repelled by the sudden appearance of the ghost army, these remnant souls that had almost no impact on reality were blessed by the power of the god of death, and they easily awakened their previous spell casting experience, coupled with the strong power of the god of death and their unique constitution that was difficult to influence, the Aurors were helpless against these ghost army.
Not only in the wizarding world, but also in the Muggle world, there are more and more strange situations.
According to The Times: "Recently, there have been a number of black tornadoes around the world, and most of the local residents in the areas affected by the black tornado will experience symptoms such as weakness and lethargy, and a large proportion of them will suffer from serious mental illness." According to the analysis of experts, the cause of this black fog is related to the frequent wars around the world, and the excessive population death and poor battlefield sanitation and cleaning conditions have triggered the emergence of many infectious diseases such as cholera. According to the analysis, frequent black tornadoes may bring plague and other disasters, please try to ensure that your home is closed and obey the management of local governments......"
However, this report is not authoritative, and does not mention the scandal of the Times' editor-in-chief in supporting appeasement in the thirties, and only looking at the content of the expert analysis is a serious mistake.
Of course, it is naturally impossible for experts in the Muggle world to think that these black tornadoes are just a strange scene brought about by the gathering of Dementors, and various so-called experts and scholars have already been exhausted, and they cannot confirm the principle of black tornadoes in a short period of time, and only the explanation of the plague can be regarded as a certain degree of reasonableness.
Thankfully, the Muggle world is not the only one who knows nothing about magic, and there are some special people who have become suspicious of recent anomalies.
For example, Prime Minister Winston of the Great Empire, he has a certain understanding of the wizarding world.
In fact, the Ministry of Magic has always had a tradition of maintaining contact with the Muggle government. It's just that many ministers of magic from pure-blood families represented by Hector Foley often have a feeling of contempt for Muggles, even if that person is a Muggle prime minister.
As a member of the Foley family, one of the Twenty-Eight Holy Families, Hector Foley was extremely contemptuous of Muggles, and the Muggle Prime Minister at the time was a conservative and had long adhered to a policy of shrinking, so he was completely uninterested in contacting the wizarding world, which could lead to great political risks. So the two rarely have contact again.
By the time Secretary Leonard Spencer-Moen came to power, the situation had improved.
Minister Spencer-Mohn, a do-it-all minister who started from the grassroots, knew how to use all the forces available to him to face the threat posed by Death and Grindelwald. Coupled with the fact that the new Muggle Prime Minister is also a doer, the two aspirants immediately hit the ground running, becoming rare cross-border good friends.
Of course, this "good friend" is only superficial, after all, they are only for their own political interests.
Now, after learning about the strange black tornado that has been set off around the world, Prime Minister Winston has come to the prime minister's office at 10 Downing Street with a frown.
There was a portrait in the office of a small ugly man wearing a long silver wig, but the wig did not improve his frog-like countenance, but made him look very funny.
Every prime minister has been disgusted by this ugly portrait, but even if one of them had hired a few carpenters, a builder or two, an art historian and a chancellor of the exchequer, it was to no avail of moving it off the wall.
That's why this ugly portrait has been in the Prime Minister's office for 200 years.
Unlike the other prime ministers' disgust with the painting, Prime Minister Winston returned to his office and calmly looked around for a while, not noticing anyone else nearby, and then closed the door to his office.
Then he spoke solemnly about the ugly portrait—
"Mr. Ulrick Gamp, I wonder if this global black tornado has something to do with yours." He asked.
Yes, Prime Minister Winston is talking to a portrait!
This scene will make any lawmaker feel incredulous when they see it, and even begin to wonder if there is something wrong with the prime minister's spirit, and then jointly pass a motion of no confidence in the government, ousting the prime minister, who had a major mental problem in the face of war.
However, what is even more unexpected is that the ugly man in the portrait of the little man actually spoke!
"Yes, I don't know if you'll have time to meet with Minister Spencer-Mohn, he has something he wants to talk to you about." The man in the portrait flicked his silver wig in boredom and asked casually.
Prime Minister Winston felt a little spicy, but nodded despite the discomfort.
The next moment, with two "bangs", two men in formal suits appeared in the prime minister's office at 10 Downing Street.
One of them, with a mild, neat look, walked over and hugged Prime Minister Winston like an old friend.
"Long time no see, my old friend, Winston!" He greeted happily.
"I'm glad to meet you too, my good friend, Leonard!" Prime Minister Winston unobtrusively tucked away his bulging beer belly and hugged Minister Spencer-Mohn with a happy expression.
After a warm hug, he turned his gaze to another brown-skinned, mustachioed man and asked, "Leonard, who is this?" ”
"Oh, this is Yusuf Kama, the current Minister of Magic of the Enamel Kingdom." Minister Spencer-Moen gave an enthusiastic introduction. "The Ministries of Magic of our two countries have reached a cooperation and established an alliance, and today Kama has brought you a lot of news you want."
"Fortunately, Minister Kama." Prime Minister Winston expertly put on an enthusiastic face and extended a hand to Kama.
Kama seemed a little uncomfortable with the enthusiasm, but shook hands with Prime Minister Winston politely.
"Now that we're pressed for time, let's get straight to the point!" Karma said succinctly. "I didn't have any good news this time."
