Chapter 191: A Duel in the Fair (Third Watch)
The next morning, the French Ministry of Magic.
"Tom, we've got men over there at Père Lachaise's grave, and we'll arrest Grindelwald as soon as he shows up, so don't risk it again."
Tina persuaded Li Chuan with some worry.
After getting accurate information from Li Chuan yesterday, Tina immediately returned to the French Ministry of Magic.
As for Li Chuan, who had helped capture the Dark Wizard and Grindelwald, those high-level officials of the Ministry of Magic naturally believed it, so they immediately sent a large number of Aurors to ambush in advance on the side of Father Lachaise's tomb.
"No, there may not be no Grindelwald believers on the Ministry of Magic, even if you do a good job of ambushing, it may be leaked, and if I have any information after I pass, I can inform you as soon as possible.
Rest assured, maintaining the safety of the entire wizarding world is the responsibility of every wizard in us! ”
Li Chuan looks righteous and awe-inspiring, not afraid of life and death.
Standing next to Tina is Theseus Scamander, the director of the Aurors of the British Ministry of Magic and Newt's older brother, the war hero of the First World War and the head of the operation.
Seeing that Li Chuan, who was not a member of the Ministry of Magic, had such a great mind, he couldn't help but show a look of admiration.
"Mr. Foley, thank you very much for your help this time, and when it is over, I will definitely propose to apply for the Third Class Order of the Order of Sir Merlin for you, your contribution deserves it!"
"It's all as it should be, I'll go first, and I'll take the initiative to come to you if there's any situation."
Li Chuan nodded, then left the French Ministry of Magic and vanished.
He was not optimistic about Theseus's arrangement to send people to the tomb of Father Lachaise in advance, because he knew that Grindelwald had no intention of holding a meeting in secret.
In the afternoon, Grindelwald would use his powerful magic to send out the notice of the rally, and countless black cloths would wrap around Paris, and any wizard who touched the black cloth would know the time and place of the rally.
In other words, Grindelwald had long expected the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic to come to the rally, and would use those Aurors to inspire the hatred of wizards against the secrecy law, and hatred for the Ministry of Magic.
So the place and time he leaked in advance didn't actually have an impact on Grindelwald, but the people at the Ministry of Magic thought they had a head start.
In the grove outside Paris, Li Chuan's figure appeared in a crackling sound, and then took out the portkey and disappeared again.
Back at the Foley family's villa, he vanquished to Diagon Alley, where he borrowed the fireplace from the Leaky Cauldron to reach Hogsmeade.
If his guess was correct, Dumbledore should most likely be at the Hog's Head Bar at this time.
Because in the morning he already knew from Theseus that yesterday afternoon the head of the Law Enforcement Department of the British Ministry of Magic, that is, Theseus's immediate boss, Toqual Travers.
Dumbledore's right to teach at Hogwarts has been temporarily suspended, and his gloves have been put on a surveillance bracelet, and any magic Dumbledore casts will be monitored by the Ministry of Magic.
At the same time, more than a dozen Aurors were also arranged to monitor Dumbledore's whereabouts twenty-four hours a day.
The reason is that Toquille Travers suspects that Dumbledore has fornicated with Grindelwald because the two had a very special relationship when they were young.
And Dumbledore, as the only wizard who could compete with Grindelwald, refused to accept his dispatch and went to France to help capture Grindelwald.
And Li Chuan thinks that it should not only be in this aspect, but also in some political factors.
Dumbledore's reputation in the wizarding world was so great that many wizards felt that Dumbledore should become the Minister of the British Ministry of Magic.
There should even be a more important position in the International Association of Wizards, rather than just being a professor in school.
This poses a very big threat to Toqual Travers, who may take over as Minister of Magic.
So even if he knew that Dumbledore had nothing to do with Grindelwald, he wouldn't let go of this opportunity to stink Dumbledore.
It is precisely because of this that Dumbledore will pay attention to Li Chuan and Newt, because the Ministry of Magic not only does not help, but always pushes him away.
"Sure enough, there are quite a few Aurors here."
After Li Chuan came out of the fireplace of the pig's head bar, he saw Dumbledore drinking at the bar at a glance, as well as more than a dozen Aurors who were watching Dumbledore around him, intentionally or unintentionally.
Instead of stepping forward, he turned and left the Hog's Head Pub, and then made his way to the huge Quidditch pitch halfway between Hogsmeade Village and Hogwarts Castle.
The purpose of his coming here this time was not to really kill Dumbledore, if he really wanted to kill Dumbledore, it would be best to sneak into Hogwarts Castle at night and carry out a close assassination.
Because Hogwarts Castle has a very powerful anti-illusion disfigurement charm, even Dumbledore can't apparition even when he doesn't have a phoenix now, and he can make the most of his advantages.
His real purpose was to use this battle with Dumbledore to make the wizarding world understand how powerful the mysterious man was.
Therefore, this battle must be fair and above board, but also have an audience that can be spread, not in fine clothes, and it is better not to actually hurt innocent wizards to prevent ruining reputation.
On second thought, only the Quidditch pitch at Hogwarts would be the most suitable.
Because apparition is possible here, it's fair to both Dumbledore and him, and the aftermath of the battle won't reach the students of Hogsmeade and Castle yet.
Finally, there are the young wizards and professors of Hogwarts, who can just watch the battle between him and Dumbledore in the castle, and they are not afraid that they will not be able to spread it afterwards.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
A shadow clone descended to Hogsmeade, while his body waited at the Quidditch pitch, ready for a battle with Dumbledore.
"Is that Mr. Albus Dumbledore, please?"
Li Chuan's shadow clone walked into the pig's head pub and asked behind Dumbledore, who was drinking.
Hearing this, Dumbledore turned to look at Li Chuan, who was wearing a hood covering his face:
"It's me, sir, I don't seem to know you?"
The Aurors who were monitoring Dumbledore over there looked at Li Chuan and vigilantly took out their wands.
Their mission was to spy on Dumbledore to see if they could find evidence of his collusion with Grindelwald, so they were especially wary of strange wizards who found Dumbledore.
Li Chuan slowly took off his hood and smiled:
"Maybe then you'll know me."
"Did Grindelwald send you to kill me?"
Seeing Li Chuan's appearance, Dumbledore was not surprised at all, he already knew through his undercover work in the dark wizard that Grindelwald would send a mysterious person to kill him.
