Chapter 181: The Truth (6000)
At this moment, all the wizards were holding their wands high at this moment, and the spells were like converging fluorescents, gathering in the sky and turning into a faint canopy.
Then, the lightning collided with the canopy,
"Boom, boom!" The loud sound resounded in everyone's ears as if the sky was cracking, and many soldiers were unsteady on their feet and fell to the ground in this huge tremor.
Lightning poured out rage, slashing at the sky, and the protective screen where countless people gathered was trembling violently.
Seeing this, Pierce was not happy at all. Because, although the canopy trembled, it was not directly shattered, and it was as thin as paper, but in fact, with the blessing of countless wizards, it was miraculously solid.
After the thunder and lightning in the sky were stubbornly resisted, the arc that had nowhere to vent suddenly broke through the shackles of magic, and the spherical shape collapsed and scattered, and the huge arc gushing out was like a sickle, plowing scars on the surrounding land.
This terrifying spell was finally successfully resisted by countless wizards. At this time, the heads of state who saw this scene in the surveillance were all relieved.
"Now, can you tell me what the hell is going on?" Mr. Huck finally recovered from his shock at the curtain of the day, and when the dust had settled, he finally asked the doubts that had been silent in his heart.
The heads of state of France, Germany, and Russia looked at each other with a meaningful smile on their faces, but neither of them spoke.
"Sir, from Buckingham Palace." At that moment, Bernard walked over with a heavy face. In his hand was a document that had just been printed.
"What?" Mr. Huck angrily picked up his eyes from the table next to him, and took them before taking the papers from Berner's hand.
Originally, he didn't pay attention to this document from Buckingham Palace, because it was probably just a queen's inquiry or something.
During war, but the monarch is the norm. But when he turned the page symbolically, Mr. Huck's face changed suddenly, and his anger exploded instantly.
He slammed the document on the table, stared at the three heads of state in front of him, and said in a low tone: "This is your plan? At the cost of millions of people in London? ”
"It's Huck you got on yourself." French President Jager Maynard said lightly.
"We didn't make the plan either." German Chancellor Agnes Bruckner went on to say: "We just have this need. ”
"Demand?" Mr. Huck snapped, "This is your excuse for using the civilians of London as bait?" "He's going to blow up.
What a multinational summit was a conspiracy from the very beginning. I made the same mistake as before, and stupidly swallowed the trouble of being packaged as honor by others.
Now he finally knows what to ask, why don't they compete with him for the venue. I'm like a monkey, being played around!
"We are the bait, and this is a necessary sacrifice! Mr. Prime Minister, doesn't he think he can peacefully accept the magical forces of his country? Russian President Vladimiah Rovich sneered: "How many corpses were buried in Siberia to completely silence the opposing voices." This is a purge of wizards from all over Europe, and from now on all the forces that stand in the way of national integration will be eliminated. ”
"That's you, don't force the UK!" Mr. Huck roared. The document sent by Berner was from a wizard named Fanny at Buckingham Palace.
Since then, he has finally learned the full picture of the conspiracy. Since the Second World War, there has been a terrorist group called the Saint Wizards on the European continent, who have recruited troops for the purpose of provoking wars between wizards and Muggles, and have seriously hindered the integration reforms pursued by governments.
And with the rapid development of modern technology, many pure-bloods or wizards who did not agree with Grindelwald's views in the past have chosen to join the Saints, which directly leads to the ministries of magic in some small countries, and even can be swayed by them.
The struggle between the European powers and the saints has begun more than ten years ago, they are pressing step by step, constantly squeezing the living environment of the saints, but for the backbone members of the organization, they have not had any good way, wizards are not ordinary people, if wizards really choose to hide somewhere and not come out, then, no matter how hard the government tries, it will not help.
The turning point came a year ago, when a mortal named Moriarty approached them, and a conspiracy was quietly hatched.
After that, the plan went quite smoothly, including the wizard named Fanny who went undercover into the organization, and the only trouble they had was where to set up the trap.
Originally, the three countries were going to choose a small European city. But since Mr. Huck learned that they intended to form a transnational intelligence organization for wizards, he became extremely excited, and kept inviting them to convene multinational meetings in London, and since the matter had come to such a point, they naturally would not refuse, and since the British Prime Minister was willing to do this wrong, of course they would fulfill him.
That's how everything started on Bayi Chinese Network. Fanny's constant tricking Pierce into attacking heads of state is a unique opportunity, and they get some help.
The help of Jin Cangshui. It can be said that from the moment Pierce made up his mind to attack London, he was already doomed to death.
His fate has long been a fish on the iron plate in the conspiracy of the four forces, the Ministry of Magic of the three governments, Moriarty, the Death Eaters, and Jin Cangshui.
The dismemberment of the Saints, a dark wizard force that has existed for decades, has a lot of temptation for all parties.
- At this time, the outside world, Pierce stared at the lightning ball that exploded like a firework, and his heart was already half cold, he did not know that his sad fate had already been agreed upon by many people, he only thought that his attack plan had dragged on for too long, and finally attracted many enemies.
As the blue and white light gradually disappeared in the sky like raindrops. An indescribable sense of frustration welled up in Pierce's heart.
He failed! And so it failed! From the time he came here, Pierce has always remained calm, and even he is ready to die together, but when the blow of defeat hits, he realizes that he is more afraid of defeat than death.
Pierce hung his arm weakly, having just used up all his magic and strength with that level of magic.
Now he is a lamb to the slaughter.
"Sir!" The wizard next to him was still shouting at him, but Pierce was already blind, as if he was a soulless body.
The anti-illusion shifting spells that rose around them had completely killed their last resort of escape. As for the head-on breakthrough - that's a joke!
"Everyone is scattered, let's run one by one!" He said weakly, in his heart he couldn't do anything but keep cursing the group of traitors who betrayed the wizard, especially the white-robed wizard at the top of the palace.
At this moment, he really wanted to grab Dumbledore by the neck and ask him why he was doing this!
Are you willing to be a lackey for Muggles? What about the pride of wizards for more than a thousand years? What about faith? Merlin is above, why are they walking on the land of your favor!
"Sir?" The wizard next to him seemed to want to persuade him to say something, but Pierce didn't bother to pay attention.
They simply do not know what the consequences of the failure of this operation will be! The more than forty wizards who attacked London have been the backbone of the Saints' organization for decades.
Fold it all in London means that the saints are finished, and all that is left is fish and shrimp and some wall grass.
What if you escape? Continue to shrink for a few more decades? No—no—instead of being stuck in an endless wait, let him drown in the quagmire of ideals completely!
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out from the dense forest behind them. Pierce only felt a slight pain in his chest, and then he didn't know anything.
And with his fall, the war of wizard attacks that encompassed millions of people finally came to an end.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the army from various military bases finally arrived in London, and the gunfire in all directions was the last sound of the encirclement of the terrorists.
The encirclement and encroachment battle lasted for a day, and the terrorists occupied the city buildings and fought street battles with the army, which did cause some obstacles for the army.
But it was only a matter of time before they were eliminated completely, and the gunfire in London ceased early the next morning.
Except for the smell of gunpowder in the air, and the various buildings that were damaged, everything was already settled.
Whitehall, 10 Downing Street, in the Prime Minister's office, in front of Mr. Harker sat several wizards. Most of them are members of the United Wizards Association, including senior officials of the Ministries of Magic of other countries, and of course, of course, there are also high-ranking officials of their own ministries of magic.
"It's all come to this point, and you still want to hide it from the wizarding world? Don't you think it's ridiculous? Mr. Huck grimaced and looked disdainfully at the robed blonde wizards.
These are all veteran wizards of the United Wizards Association, and they are the actual leaders of the Federation, as for Dumbledore, the president of the Federation, he plays more of the role of a mascot, and his influence on the Federation is completely inferior to these old guys.
"It's not just a matter of the law." One of the wizards in purple robes and gold silk rimmed robes said indifferently: "The problem of racial discrimination within Muggles has never disappeared, let alone the sudden addition of wizarding groups? Have you ever wondered what these millions of people in London think of wizards? ”
"They have just survived the war, and the hatred of wizards is at its peak."
"So clearing their memories is the most effective and convenient way." As he spoke, he looked at the clouds that had gathered outside again and continued: "We have a way to make these millions of people forget about this matter, but the rest of the matter, you need to clean it up yourself. ”
"Ridiculous!" Mr. Huck yelled: "I'm afraid you don't know how far human technology has developed, even if you have the means to make millions of people lose their memories at the same time, but those photos, videos—I'm afraid that everything that happened in London at this time, the whole world has long known, do you have the ability to make the whole earth forget?" "This is not Mr. Huaker's alarmism, he had already received a call from the government of the vast majority of the world's major countries last night, and what happened in London had already caused a storm in the whole world.
Don't ever underestimate that group of journalists, even in the streets where guns rang out yesterday, there were reporters who broadcast live, and some even took precious pictures that even the British government did not have, such as the photo of the head of the army of a terrorist organization, which was taken and transmitted to them by a newspaper.
It seems that the newspaper is called a new or something. When several old wizards heard this, their faces suddenly changed, they were probably over 100 years old, and their impression of Muggles was still at the level of World War II.
Now that I suddenly learned that the whole world might know about London, I didn't know what to do for a while.
After all, there has never been a leak of this magnitude in nearly 500 years. This is indeed beyond their comprehension.
"But—" Then the Whitebeard Wizard wanted to say something. But his mind was blank, but he couldn't say anything.
Just then, Berner came up and whispered something in Mr. Huck's ear with a heavy face.
The latter's pupils constricted, and he hurriedly waved his hand. Next, the door to the prime minister's office was pushed open, and a television was moved in, and then Bernard turned on the TV, and the picture was the supreme leader of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty Elizabeth, Queen of Britain.
The queen was dressed in black, with the white roses placed on the table, and a solemn and solemn momentum came to her face.
Then her soft voice sounded.
“...”
"Coming back to the topic of invasion, I think, in the long course of this century, this is something that we have never encountered."
"I have every confidence that my government will be able to defend the British people, as well as his property."
"But this time—this time! I don't want to hide it, but it wasn't other countries or terrorist organizations that attacked us. After the queen took a deep breath on TV, a hint of tenacity flashed in her eyes, and then she slowly pronounced a word in the most authentic British accent: "Wizard!" ”
"Yes, a wizarding organization from another country has attacked us." Her Majesty Elizabeth's voice rang out, and her eyes were on the camera, after which the camera switched to Buckingham Palace, the devastated land around it, and London was already in ruins.
The Queen's voiceover continues: "London has been attacked – the biggest destruction of the city since the Second World War. ”
"The last time the city was so badly damaged was in 1940, when I was just a girl, and it was all bad news that I heard on the radio, Poland fell, France fell, and most of Europe fell into the hands of **."
"It was London bombed by enemy planes all day long, and although I never doubted that we would lose, there would still be all sorts of bad thoughts in my heart about what to do if the enemy landed in our country, if most of the country was occupied by the enemy, if we were really defeated."
"In those years, I asked myself countless times, what can we do?" When Her Majesty Elizabeth said this, the scene shifted to the city of London, a ruined city, full of devastation, but the British flag still flying at the top of Buckingham Palace.
"But in the end, we all know that the king's government led us to win the war."
"And now, once again, I will leave no stone unturned, believing that my government, and all my people in this land, will surely prevail unwaveringly and undiscouraged against all invading enemies. We will last until the end! Until the sun shines on the land again! The Queen's words were deafening, and the voice from the television called her people over and over again.
And everyone in the prime minister's office fell silent.
"It seems that we don't need to discuss this issue anymore!" Mr. Huck had a smile on his face for the first time in a long time, and at least with the Queen's guarantee, his seat was much more secure.
After all, didn't the queen say that the wizard who attacked them, what could he do as a Muggle prime minister?
"Okay, next, the question of how to deal with the criminals." Mr. Huck had just finished speaking. The wizard of the Federation on the side immediately jumped up, and he said in a deep voice: "Pierce and his henchmen will be judged by the Federation." The business of the wizard should be the affairs of the wizard..."
"According to you, the ten thousand people who died in London seem to have died in vain?" Mr. Huck immediately retorted: "The first offender must be tried by the government, this is not negotiable, and I will not discuss it with you again, but I will only inform you routinely!" Hearing this, the wizard was obviously angry, and he said angrily, "And then? Do you want to burn a wizard like you did hundreds of years ago? ”
"How could a civilized country use such means!" Mr. Huck retorted, "Is your culture still a few hundred years old?" ”
"He will be given justice, but it will be the British people who will judge him."
"You!" The wizard stood up abruptly, and seemed to rush to Mr. Huck to fight him, but at last he held back, glared at Mr. Huck fiercely, and slammed the door.
With the loss of a prick, the smell of gunpowder in the entire office has weakened a lot. After that, the follow-up discussion about the matter was much smoother.
- On the other side, Anthony finally returned to Buckingham Palace, and he was a little lost. After a night of wandering around London, tired and hungry, he only felt that he was weak, and he could not help anything except deal with some terrorists, that is, repair broken city buildings and so on.
After returning to Buckingham Palace, I had a simple breakfast, and then chatted with my aunt for a while.
Guided by Rosius, he hurried to the backyard garden. Rosius said that a wizard was in the courtyard, and that she was the granddaughter of Vida Rozier, Grindelwald's most loyal follower.
Of course, these are just not that makes Anthony curious, what really surprised him was the name, Moriarty!
The name that came out of the mouth of the sorceress. In the courtyard, most of the land has been restored, but there is still a slight smell of gunpowder in the air.
The beautiful woman, dressed in a long military trench coat and wearing a top hat and veil, was sitting in the courtyard with a cup of black tea.
In the distance, dozens of members of the Wizard's Terror Mobile Team were converging.
"Do you know Moriarty?" Anthony walked over quickly, and without hesitation, he pronounced the man's name directly.
The name stunned the lady, who looked up to reveal her brown amber eyes.
"Oh! It's you! My dear. Fanny's red lips opened slightly, and a seductive voice rang out.
"What? What do you want to know? ”
"You know me?" From her tone, Anthony could tell that she seemed to have seen herself. But he didn't have any impression of her, and Anthony dared to guarantee that this woman never appeared in the original book.
"Where's the Magic Prince! Who doesn't know? Fanny said softly, taking a sip of the black tea in her hand and saying, "In a way, Mr. Moriarty and yours have many similarities. With that, she pulled a business card out of her jacket pocket and handed it to Anthony.
"When do you want to know about the future world? Welcome to join us! ”
"His Highness Anthony!" Then, she got up and walked slowly to the group of wizarding terrorists, and then walked with them towards a place away from Buckingham Palace.
Soon their figures disappeared into a grove of trees. At this time, Anthony withdrew his gaze and checked the business card in his hand.
It is a solid black business card with a gold pattern on the corner, and the front white reads: Nightcity and a string of small letters in the lower right corner of it: United States, Northern California Free State.
The back is also written in white on a black background, which reads: CEO of NightInternational: James Moriarty
"Night City? Knight International? Anthony frowned, the name was somewhat familiar to him. It seems to have been heard there.
Night City - Night City! Just as he was chattering, an owl suddenly flew in the distance.
Anthony immediately recognized Harry's Hedwig at that time. He slowly reached out, and Hedwig landed firmly on his arm.
"Huh? A letter from Harry? Taking the letter from Hedwig's mouth, he turned and walked towards the palace.
As he walked, he tore open the letter. - Dear Anthony: Take me to the Queen!
I learned from the Daily Prophet that London received news of an attack by wizards from other countries yesterday, and that many people had died, and Hermione was very worried about her parents, if it was safe, could you take her to see her parents?
Also, about the Dursleys... Could you please reply to me as well? Please let us know about your situation as soon as possible, friends: Harry, Hermione.
——
"Mr. and Mrs. Granger?" Anthony was stunned, Mr. Granger's dentist shop seemed to be in the center of London!
If he was in the store at the time of the attack, then... Thinking to himself, he hurried towards the palace.
Just a phone call to Mr. Bond will tell you everything, and he must have sent agents to protect Hermione's family.
