Chapter 622: Old Barty's Grief, Confrontation
"British Minister of Magic Goes to Poland for Exchange"
Barty the Elder went to the Polish Ministry of Magic.
He chose to enter the place where his men disappeared one after another.
It was welcomed by the Polish Minister of Magic, Inger Griffiths, and the Polish public spoke highly of it.
Old Barty re-entered Poland, and he was silent as he looked at the smile on the face of the now Polish wizard.
"Can a person really change?" He asked Pierce next to him.
Pierce shook his head and said, "Minister, they're just embers before they are extinguished."
Yes, and what about fanaticism.
Fanaticism can't change the situation, hunger and poverty still surround the place.
Although it is not to the point of starving to death, it is even more desperate to see the days ahead.
Pierce was a realist, so he didn't have a sense of commonality with these visionaries.
Old Barty looked at the crumbling building.
He walked over and lifted a stone slab.
The bodies inside have been transferred.
"Welcome to Poland." Starr Rozier came with someone to greet him.
He looked at the ruins and said blandly, "There are always people who want to kill our savior."
Old Barty paused when he heard this, and said without changing his face, "I hope this exchange with your ministry can go smoothly."
"It's nature," Starr smiled, "and we'll keep you safe."
Old Barty nodded and headed to the Ministry of Magic.
In the Ministry of Magic.
The Polish Minister of Magic casually lifted the corpse with his wand and asked faintly, "Dead."
Old Barty walked in and saw the floating corpse, his pupils constricted.
"Ah, Minister Crouch."
Griffith turned and said, "You're welcome, I hope you'll be happy here."
Old Barty's eyes were fixed on the corpse behind Griffith, and for a moment he didn't even respond to questions.
Seeing this, Pierce took over and said, "I'm sorry, our minister is tired."
"I was negligent." Griffith was not annoyed, but nodded very gracefully and politely.
"I think my office can give Minister Crouch a break," he said, looking around and apologetically, "I'm sorry that our Ministry of Magic was invaded not long ago."
"The intruder's body is here."
Griffith stepped out of the way, revealing the body.
Burns and blood stains on the body.
Old Barty walked up to him and looked at the corpse.
"Lippi." He took a deep breath.
Yes, it's him.
His own missing subordinate.
His body had been burned by fire, and the weight of the weight had nearly disfigured him.
But he recognized the garment, it was Lippi's.
Barty Sr. looked back at the smiling Griffith, and said, "If you don't mind, I'd like to talk a little more about your ministry."
"Absolutely." Griffith nodded.
Starr, who had followed, walked over and waved his wand, and Lippi's body floated behind him.
Old Barty looked back, and Lippi was dead, nameless.
"Pierce." Old Barty called out to Pierce.
Pierce nodded and smiled at Griffith, "Minister Griffith, I'd like to take a look at the Ministry of Magic."
"Please." Griffith didn't seem scared.
Pierce walked into the Ministry of Magic and looked at the elevator that had been destroyed by the explosion, and he said, "What a pity."
Barty Sr. was invited to the minister's office.
Upon entering the office, Barty Sr. glanced at the windmill painting on the wall.
"I'm sorry, but a lot of people want to attack me because of Grindelwald," Griffith said apologetically.
I sometimes have to be vigilant."
"Understood."
Old Barty was saddened when he came in and saw guards standing nearby, but he needed to calm down and face the unfathomable Minister Griffith.
"Speaking of which, I'm the one who should say I'm sorry." Barty Sr. said, "Some time ago, because of Grindelwald, the International Confederation of Wizards supported your department, but what happened later was hasty, so that some of the personnel did not complete the return to China to report their work."
"Oh?" Griffith wondered, "So, there are still some people here?"
"I think so," said Barty Sr., in a deep voice, "six Aurors, and I don't think they caused any trouble to Minister Griffith."
"No, it's just that I don't know where those six are." Griffith smiled, "The remnants of Grindelwald that have appeared these days have left the Ministry of Magic scorched."
Grindelwald remnants?
I'm afraid it's the British Ministry of Magic Aurors, right?
This matter is the fault of old Barty, he knows that without interests, the other party will not let go.
And the corpses that the other party deliberately displayed today are all showing chips to Old Barty.
"I have seen the damage to your department," said Barty Sr., "I know a generous friend who has a silverhand building that must be of the aid to Minister Griffith."
Willing to budge, he stared at Griffith and said, "I think as Minister of Magic, Minister Griffith should have some news about my men."
"I remember," Griffith said after a moment of deep thought, "in one place someone seems to have spotted a few strangers."
"How many?"
"Five."
Griffith smiled, "Five strangers, they should still be there now."
Old Barty took a deep breath and said, "The sixth ......."
"I'm sorry, I think my subordinates read that right."
Griffith interrupted Barty Sr.
There is no hustle and bustle in this confrontation, and the whole process is pleasant.
Old Barty looked deeply at Griffith and said; "I think my subordinates may have run into some 'Grindelwald remnants.'"
He left the Ministry of Magic and went to the place Griffith had spoken.
There he found the Aurors whose memories had been washed away.
All five Aurors have no memory.
As if they came to Poland right here.
Barty the Elder's visit to Poland did not last long.
Pierce came out of the Ministry of Magic, shook his head and said, "Nothing."
Old Barty's face sank, and Lippi Bai sacrificed?
"But one thing," said Pierce, "I'm sure Lippi found something."
"I questioned some people and they said that something had fallen from the Lippi pocket and he took it at the risk of being caught."
That thing must be important, otherwise Lippi wouldn't have almost been caught and risked back.
But Pierce examined Lippi's body and didn't see anything special.
According to eyewitnesses, the thing appeared to be a ring.
Old Barty understood that Lippi's death was because of the ring.
Is the ring not there, is it because it was taken away, or is Lippi hidden?
Griffith's mysterious smile appeared in his head, and Barty Sr. knew that he could not continue to let his subordinates take risks.
"You can only ask for help."
He thought of John, and there was no one who could help him but this second king.
That Griffith is obviously not simple, and the fact that the other party can easily subdue the five Aurors shows that he has stronger power.
Under the premise that Barty Sr. could not mobilize the Aurors in the light, he could only put his hope in John.
"Griffith didn't find it, or he wouldn't have guarded the body."
Old Barty had a hunch in his heart
This thing is also crucial to Griffith.
What is there behind the scenes of this hero who killed Grindelwald?
...
On the streets of the Polish wizards' quarters, hooded men come to the site of the collapse of the building.
He looked up at his surroundings, those wary gazes falling on him.
He had to get out of here first.
Seeing him leave, the owner of his eyes said lightly, "Keep searching, that guy must have hidden something."
Hearing this, the people around him moved.
And the one who left, but silently watched everything from the corner.
