"Where's that chatter?" Tonks asked through gritted teeth.

"We don't have manpower." Kingsley said in a deep voice, "Li Jordan, you patrol independently, you can't attack suspicious people when you encounter them, and immediately return to the ministry to report the location and ask for support, understand?" ”

"Yes, sir."

Kingsley, of course, was worried that something would happen to Lee Jordan.

After all, his interviews were conducted on his own.

It can only be said that it is exactly the same as the traditional Gryffindor, there is a recklessness in his bones, and his strength is good, but it is easy to be deceived.

This mission is a test, and if he can get through it safely, it won't be far from being an official Auror.

After the order was given, Kingsley 'poofed' and disappeared in place.

When he was able to reappear, a church suddenly appeared around him.

It was Westminster Abbey, one of the most famous churches in the UK.

It is an important occasion for the queen and king to hold weddings and funerals.

In a residential building just one block from the church.

Kingsley stood by the window and looked downstairs.

"Do you still need people on the Muggle Prime Minister's side?"

Behind him, Bill walked over.

Followed by Fleur.

"No, I don't." Kingsley frowned, staring at the Muggle policemen patrolling the streets, as well as the staggering number of journalists and civilians.

There are too many people.

In case of an accident

"Lupin led a team of the Federation's special operations team to protect it personally. Tonks' ability allows her to hide in the shadows, so we have a double layer of protection. ”

"What about the representatives of other European countries?" Bill asked again.

"Moody is in command, and Sirius and the Aurors of Germany, France, Switzerland, and Denmark are responsible for the whole process of protection."

"Uh-" Bill replied, then spoke again, "what about Buckingham Palace?" The Queen's side."

"Protected by a court magician."

"Court magician?" Bill was stunned, "I've never heard of it. ”

"It's normal that you haven't heard." Kingsley said lightly, "It's a pure-blood wizard family with a long bloodline, they have been hiding around the king for generations, and they are responsible for secretly protecting them, speaking of which, they are also somewhat related to your family. ”

"Our family?"

"It's all Celtic wizards."

"Okay. Looks like London is solid? Bill's grim expression slackened slightly.

"Looks like so." "But I'm sure there's still some loophole." ”

"Muggles are so abnormal this time. It's a complete provocation to the Death Eaters, and I don't understand why they did it at all. The Muggle Prime Minister was full of lies, greasy to the extent of several fudges. He rejected almost all of my offers. ”

"Officials are all the same." Bill sneered, and the door behind them opened.

Came to be their old acquaintances.

He was also the commander-in-chief of this London operation.

Theseus Scamander.

and the predecessor of the Order of the Phoenix, some of the members of the organization that Dumbledore had founded to fight Grindelwald.

Tina Goldstein and her sister Queenie Goldstein.

The former is the wife of Senior Newt, a former Auror of the Magical Congress of the United States, and the latter is the American sweetheart who is married to the Chosen No-Maj, a natural Guardian Mindsetter, Queenie can easily enter (without her own control) other people's minds to read thoughts, and is more likely to peep when the other person is depressed.

Last year, she found more than half of the [Infiltrators] in the United States.

The Magic Council was able to recover quickly, and Queenie contributed a lot.

Of course, North America is still chaotic, but it's much better than the previous human prison.

Kingsley shook hands with the visitors in turn.

When facing Queenie, his mind unconsciously became highly concentrated.

After all, he was born with a deception, and he didn't want his mind to be spied on.

Of course, in the face of this nearly 100-year-old man, the respect that should be shown to Kingsley was still shown.

However, when he saw Queenie with his own eyes, he found that the other party's condition was not good, and his expression was very low.

"No rest, okay? Lady. Kingsley asked softly, his tone full of concern.

Queenie glanced up at Kingsley, a mixture of emotions flashing in her eyes. She shook her head slightly, as if trying to dispel the bad feelings, but in the end she was unsuccessful.

"I ...... I'm fine. Queenie's voice trembled a little, and she tried to keep her composure, but it was clearly not easy.

Theseus Scamander noticed the conversation between the two, and he walked over and patted Queenie on the shoulder.

Being able to peer into other people's minds is not a good ability.

People are complex, and not all of those thoughts are good.

Especially the monsters of the Pretenders.

Snoop on their thoughts. It's all about watching a disgusting horror movie.

She had seen so many [Pretenders] thoughts, and now they hadn't collapsed, and they were already very strong.

"Queenie, you need to rest." Theseus' voice was gentle but firm, "We'll take care of the matter here, you go find a quiet place and adjust it well." ”

Queenie seemed to want to say something, but in the end she just nodded lightly and turned and walked to the next room. Kingsley looked at her departing back, and couldn't help but feel an inexplicable worry in her heart.

He knew that the importance of the London operation was self-evident. And Queenie's state undoubtedly adds a touch of uncertainty to the whole operation.

Theseus looked at the back of his old friend who had departed, he took a deep breath and turned his head again, his face already serious again.

"So the plan went ahead."

"Hmm." Kingsley nodded, "But I've always felt uneasy. ”

"Normal." Theseus said, "There is no perfect solution. What we need is improvisation. ”

"Scatter all the hands. All the streets, the high-rise buildings in Westminster, have to have our people. ”

"Understood."

"It's set for three o'clock in the afternoon." Theseus continued, "Three points at the same time, all the strange wizards on the streets, arrested.

Grab it first. The future is a headache for the minister. We're just responsible for not messing around. ”

"Okay."

"What about the Dark Wizard?"

"Dark wizard?" Kingsley was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted that Theseus was talking about the Dark Wizard captive who had been captured by Muggles.

He shook his head, his face added a touch of helplessness, "I don't know, not only we don't know, but the Muggle Prime Minister doesn't know where the people are, their army is solely responsible for this matter, and it is kept secret from everyone." The Prime Minister will only be notified when someone arrives. ”

"Rigorous." Theseus spat out a single word, "Much better than the structure of the Ministry of Magic." ”

"It's going to cause us some trouble, but it's also a problem for the Death Eaters."

"Count the time—" Theseus looked up at the clock on the wall, "twelve." ”

"Traditionally, Muggles would give luncheons to their delegates, and they would not leave until half-past or two to go to the Special Court."

"I'll go out and make a round." Kingsley said.

"Okay."

After Theseus answered, Kingsley disappeared in the next second.

- Noon, half past one.

In London, an unknown neighborhood, Winston Noam is sitting with fellow saints Kent Noem enjoying lunch in an Italian restaurant.

Opposite them was a young girl.

Garona Noem.

A clerk of the Department of Mysteries of the Italian Ministry of Magic.

With brilliant blonde hair and pale green eyes, of course, the first thing that catches people's attention is always her left eye, which, like Moody, is a magic eye.

"London is really coming now." Winston said, looking out the window.

The shadow of war looms over the city.

Even an average Muggle would have sensed the viscous, breathless pressure in the air today.

"What instructions does the mentor have?" Garona said as she took a bite of the Italian pizza in her hand.

"Nope. She spends all this time busy with French and German affairs. ”

"But—" Winston whispered, "I've heard that the French government may have cooperated with some magical power, but not the French Ministry of Magic. ”

"You're in the Ministry of Magic, don't you know which force it is?" Kent said, lifting his left prosthetic leg and setting up a piece of pizza.

"The other side has a lot of energy." Winston frowned slightly, "And it's not the wizard in charge of taking the lead." ”

"Not a wizard? Could it be Muggles? Kent looked at him.

"I deeply doubt it."

"But if it's a Muggle, where can a Muggle have the energy to support a country?" Kent asked again.

"Unless that Muggle has his back against a wizarding world that is no weaker than France." Winston said with a frown.

"Isn't it?" Garona looked at the two opposites.

The other party also gave a similar look in return.

Apparently they all guessed who was behind the scenes.

"Why are they doing this?" Kent looked puzzled, "It's been thousands of years, and they've never shown their energy so often, do they want to change the order of the magical world built on the Federation?" ”

"Not necessarily!" Winston said he suddenly remembered what his old friend had told him when he was away from Australia during the summer holidays.

———— they are concerned about the chaotic situation in Europe. This has severely affected their business activities.

At the time, Winston didn't know what was behind the words.

But now......

Immediately, he informed the two people around him of his guess.

"Just for the trade routes?"

"There must be another reason." Kent didn't believe the clumsy excuse at all

"It may have something to do with the Outer Gods or ancient magic." Winston guessed.

"They want to meddle?" Garona hurriedly asked, as the best young generation in the Saints Organization, they knew more about that country than most wizards in Europe. It is clear that if they get involved, everything will become more complicated about the outer gods, about ancient magic, and all the previous layouts will probably be nullified. "Are we going to confront them?"

"No—" Winston affirmed.

"Regarding the Outer Gods and ancient magic, Master and Dumbledore are of the same opinion."

"The only variable comes from the fact that all ancient magic is completely in the hands of one person, which may cause them to be alert or even panicked."

"So they're so actively involved in European affairs for the sake of unity?" Kent said.

"There's a possibility, you know people over there who like to prepare with two hands, or even three hands. Didn't Miss Zhang go to Hogworth? ”

"Hmph—I hate dealing with these smart people. The mind is too complicated. Can't you just go straight to the point?

Everyone puts their needs on the table, and then each takes what they need. Isn't it better? ”

Listening to Kent's complaints, Winston smiled, "Because we are human!" Humans are such creatures. ”

"Alright. Time is running out. We're all gone. ”

Winston stood up and said dryly.

"I have a hunch that what happens in the next hour will change the world forever."

"Otherwise, the mentor wouldn't have sent us." Garona stood up and spoke.

On the electronic watch on the wall, the red numerical time is beating.

——14:00

Westminster Abbey.

The British set up the special court here, and its purpose is self-evident.

As the British diplomat said, the trial of wizards is a matter for the Holy See, and the British government should not compensate for the unrest caused by wizards.

Now - it's really a church.

It is also a church with ancestral tablets.

On the road, the previous traffic was completely gone, and there were traces of armored vehicles everywhere, and the soldiers closely monitored everything.

"As you can see, the level of security is unprecedented, and the trial, which is expected to take place at 3 p.m., is not only a sentencing of criminals from one world against another world, but also a gathering of the world's most powerful leaders." BBC Live News, staged on every radio and television in London.

Vigilant helicopter gunships constantly flying through the air. The occasional flashes of soldiers on the building and the sirens on the streets add a sense of slaughter to the air.

"Today, diplomats from various countries are wrapping France, Germany, Italy, Russia, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Poland."

"Looking at the weather today, it's cloudy all over London today, but it's going to be a cloudy day, and meteorologists claim that there are very few condensation nuclei in the air and that rain in London is unlikely."

In the vicinity of Westminster Abbey, at least tens of thousands of people have gathered, and crowds and journalists are waving flags of the United Kingdom, the European Union, and other European countries, and there is a lot of noise.

in other places.

For example, Da Somerset Palace, a huge Tudor palace, was used by helicopters for diplomats from all over the world.

Naturally, these important locations also gather this large group of journalists.

"Oh! Look, the helicopter that just flew over Somerset Palace was the German Chancellor's car. In front of the roadside of Somerset Palace, a host is holding a microphone, the camera is looking high into the sky, and the roar in the air is clearly transmitted to the ears of every citizen watching the live broadcast through the host's microphone.

The helicopter made a beautiful arc in mid-air, circled a few times above Dasomerset Palace, and then slowly began to sink before disappearing into view.
