Chapter Forty-Nine: Grindelwald's Plan
Originally, Rosie was just using Slytranch's fear of Grindelwald to deceive him as reasonably as possible, but when it came to the future, she gradually felt that her guess had some truth.
Is this the highest level of fraud?
Muttering silently in his heart, Rosie shrugged and stepped back behind Grindelwald, no longer speaking.
As she took a step back, Lestrange's gaze turned to Grindelwald:
"First, sir, maybe I fell under someone else's curse, that's why I ......"
His voice was silent as Grindelwald flicked his outstretched index finger.
"Have you been spotted by Credence?"
Grindelwald asked in a faint tone.
Credence? Is it the youth who was with Nagini?
Hearing Grindelwald mention this name on purpose, Rossi suddenly had a judgment in his heart.
The gloomy man named Credence was the Silent One.
Lestrange thought for a few seconds, and said with some confidence:
"Should...... Probably not. ”
"Should?" Grindelwald raised his eyes coldly, with a little dissatisfaction in his expression.
"I haven't crossed paths with him, so there's no chance of him being discovered."
Lestrange explained in a low voice, "As for Mike, he's more cautious than I am, and he's not going to be noticed by Credence." ”
Hearing him say this, Rosie hooked the corners of his mouth, then turned his head to look at the waiter who passed by the booth but never looked at it until the other person walked back to the bar.
"Didn't intersect?"
Grindelwald put down the coffee in his hand, "Isn't Credence just in the circus, and you didn't talk to him when you checked the circus about the goblin?" ”
Lestrange shuddered, as if something suddenly came to mind:
"I see! When I went to look for Credence, I always felt that someone was following me, so I chose to leave the bar and try to find the person who was following me.
But in fact, there are no stalkers, I'm under the Confusion Charm! ”
At this, he looked at Grindelwald with a slight panic.
He could almost conclude that something was wrong with Credence.
Did someone help him, or did he find out and do something on his own?
This doubt only swirled in Lestrange's mind for a second, and then it was replaced by a new one:
He has been following Credence for so long, but he didn't find out anything about the changes in the other party in advance, whether this will affect Mr. 's plan, whether it will make Mr. dissatisfied with him and have murderous intent, he doesn't dare to think.
"Don't be nervous, Lestrange."
Unlike Lestrange's panic, Grindelwald picked up his coffee unconcernedly, "Looks like our Avengers don't know where they should stand. But it doesn't matter, the righteous Ministry of Magic will let him know that we are the only ones who are willing and able to accept him. ”
Avenger? Is he referring to Credence as well?
A hint of surprise flashed in Rosie's eyes, he still called this kind of title? Looks like he's an important part of this dungeon!
"What are we going to do, sir?" Lestrange asked, relieved.
"Don't do anything."
Grindelwald gulped down the coffee in his cup, "Didn't he make the explosion and get the attention of the Ministry of Magic?" Inform Sonoma that he no longer needs to cover up for Credence, and let him arrange for his Aurors to do what he needs to do. ”
Arrange for your Aurors? Sonoma was the former head of the Magical Enforcement Division.
As soon as Rossi turned this thought in his mind, the system's prompts followed:
"Ding, the side quest has been completed, get the reward, temporary skill point 1."
This side quest is complete?
The fact that the explosion, as Grindelwald said, was Credence a means of getting the attention of the Ministry of Magic?
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Lestrange hesitate and ask:
"But sir, if Credence is captured or killed because of this, won't it affect Sir's plan?"
"It doesn't matter, no matter how perfect the plan is, it will change with the changing times." The corners of Grindelwald's mouth hooked into a meaningful smile, "Besides, he is only part of the plan, and a slight advance or delay will not affect the overall situation." ”
Part of the plan?
Rosie, who thought that Grindelwald was planning something around Credence's identity as an Obscurity, raised her eyes in astonishment, and saw at a glance that Lestrange's face on the other side also showed obvious doubt.
"Sir, your plan is ......"
Before Lestrange could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Grindelwald's indifferent tone:
"Don't worry, Lestrange, you'll find out later."
……
As he walked along Grindelwald's Boulevard Saint-Germain, Rossi tried to deduce his full plan from what he had seen about Grindelwald in the game, but he couldn't get a clue.
No wonder the newspapers and wizards only mention how brutal and ruthless Grindelwald was when they talk about him, but they are secretive about what they have done to him, so they are waiting here!
Not...... Judging from Grindelwald's current appearance, it will be at least ten years before he is defeated by Dumbledore and imprisoned forever, and he will not plan to lead the Saints to wage war against the wizarding world now, right?
"What are you thinking? Venda? Grindelwald, who was walking in front of him, stopped in front of a cart stall selling flowers, and looked at Rosie with a nonchalant smile on his face.
"I'm guessing what Mr. has planned." Rosie articulated the core question she was thinking about.
Grindelwald smiled, picked up a handful of black beauties and handed them to Rosie:
"Would you like to give you a hint?"
"It is my pleasure, sir."
Rosie smiled lightly and took the velvety dark red rose.
Grindelwald's voice is magnetic and full of demagogy:
"My goal is not limited to personal gains and losses, success or failure, I plan everything for the greater good......"
For the greater good, Rossi had seen this phrase in the newspapers, and it was the core tenet of the organization of saints.
The so-called greater interests refer to the opposition to the International Wizarding Secrecy Act, the opposition to wizards hiding in the Muggle world, and the efforts to elevate the status of wizards, with wizards governing Muggles and dominating the world order.
Rosie looked at the black rose and secretly thought in his heart:
Judging from the arrangement for Credence, his plan should be to force the other party to join the Saints with the help of the Aurors of various countries.
But he also said that his goal was not limited to the individual, but was to fulfill the purpose of the organization of saints......
Thinking of this, a guess suddenly flashed in her mind, and she blessed her heart:
"Sir, you intend to use the case of Credence being hunted down by the Aurors of various countries to ruin the reputation of the Ministry of Magic and the World Federation of Wizards, so as to increase the number of saints...... Our prestige makes more wizards recognize and support us? ”
"You're smart, Venda."
Grindelwald nodded with satisfaction, and then added, "If you want to overturn the Secrecy Act, you can't rely on us alone.
Wenda, the masses are the cornerstone and force for achieving great causes, and if we want this power to be used by us, then concentrating on the mind is the indispensable first step. ”
So you're saying this to me, as well as a means of concentrating your thoughts?
Rosie muttered silently, and was about to shout slogans and flattery, but the afterglow at the end of his eyes suddenly found that in the second-floor window of the small western-style building next door, a familiar green quietly flickered.
