Chapter 466 464. Ridiculous but correct prophecy
"Quickly, report this news to Director Karkaroff!"
The Auror Command of the entire British Ministry of Magic is in a mess. Originally, at the beginning of the public trial, those Aurors were still discussing Wu Pingxian's actions. The life of a captured pure-blood to secure the reign of the nascent French Ministry of Magic.
When the public trial was in progress, the pure-blood or half-blood who were hanged on the gallows wailed miserably, which made the Aurors who were monitoring the public trial feel sympathetic.
Coupled with all the crimes that these criminals self-reported, it can be said that they are evil deeds that no one can bear to listen to. Auror can't help feeling a kind of resentment, and feels that he is not qualified to raise such a crime. Emotional weirdness.
So when the public trial was going on at noon, many Aurors who were still interested in squatting in front of the radio found excuses and left, leaving only the two people who were designated to record the content of the public trial still standing by. Front.
But when Dumbledore began to speak, the two Aurors who took the notes called everyone in the office together.
And when they finished listening to Dumbledore's speech, everyone stared blankly, not knowing what to say.
At this time, some people who have reacted rushed out of the Auror headquarters to find Karkaroff who should be meeting in the minister's office now.
"They are declaring war on us! This is a declaration of war!"
The leader of the Aurors whose status is only lower than Karkaroff's face is extremely ugly. Whether it is Wu Pingxian or France, many people have not yet reversed their mentality, and the same is true for the British side.
All of them thought that Dumbledore and his party, who had been in exile in England for nine years before, could organize such a force just two years after they came to France, which not only completely destroyed Voldemort's plan to rule Britain and France, but now He also declared war first, and wanted to directly attack the British mainland.
The Auror who heard the whole news for the first time thought that Dumbledore was overthinking himself.
But soon they recalled the compromise Voldemort made to Dumbledore after the failure of the Triwizard Tournament this year.
Some British wizards have learned that before the results of the Triwizard Tournament came out, their master and Dumbledore seemed to have started a duel in the French Ministry of Magic, but no news of the result of the duel came out.
But even if there is no news, Voldemort's compromise later is actually the most straightforward proof.
Thinking of the Aurors here, they suddenly realized something.
The wind direction in the wizarding world seems to have really changed. If three years ago, Hogwarts carriages were still in exile on British soil, the Order of the Phoenix could only carry out small-scale activities in their eyes like a group of mice. activities, they belong to the strategic offensive stage of overall victory.
After Dumbledore came to France and carried out the battle against the correctional center, the situation between the two sides changed to a strategic balance.
Now, after the public trial, Dumbledore's speech in front of almost all the wizards in Europe declared a strategic offensive belonging to the Wuping Line, and the defense of the British Ministry of Magic began!
In these three stages, two huge turning points are clearly visible.
The first turning point was the loss of the correctional center, and the second turning point was the failure of the Triwizard Tournament.
So who did the failure of these two times belong to?
Is Voldemort being too aggressive, or is something happening on Dumbledore's side?
Few people know the inside story of this. The Triwizard Tournament was won by Jon, which is well known to the world.
However, his key role in the battle of the correctional center is still unknown.
So few people think of Jon as the key to the entire situation in Britain and France. So far, many people still think that no matter how talented Jon is, he is just the next generation of heirs that Dumbledore is trying to cultivate.
Although his current performance is very dazzling and amazing, it is far from being able to affect such a major situation in the magic world so significantly.
Now, Dumbledore has declared war on the British Ministry of Magic on behalf of the entire Wupin Line, which of course made the Aurors of the entire Auror Command into a riot.
Soon Karkaroff, who was still in a meeting in the minister's office, returned to the headquarters.
The speech about Dumbledore on the radio was over, but the Auror who was in charge of recording this part had already recorded the entire speech, so Karkaroff heard all of it as soon as he came back.
"Give me the recording."
He almost forced the words out of his mouth, and then the Auror hurriedly handed the recording to him. Karkaroff didn't stop for a moment, and he turned around and left the Auror conductor with his apparition. Ministry.
Everyone present knew what he was going to do. Such a big event must be reported to the British master as soon as possible.
And this news spread throughout the British Ministry of Magic in a very short period of time.
Mixed-bloods were mostly panicked by this, while pure-bloods could be described as extremely pale.
It’s not that they hate war. If they really hated it, they wouldn’t work so hard in the war to occupy France. What they hate is that the flames of war burn to the British mainland.
Foreign wars can deliver greater wealth to the pure-blood families who have already cut the cake and have stable access to interests and status.
But the nature of the internal war is completely different. No one knows how big the flames of this war will be. This means that any pure-blood family that survives in Britain is in danger of being physically destroyed. .
Even if the war is won in the end, their losses will definitely be very heavy.
So after hearing that Dumbledore declared war on the British Ministry of Magic, no pure blood would be happy about it. flipped.
Just when Britain heard the news and was in a mess.
Other magical governments in Europe have of course also paid attention to today's public trial, and they all heard Dumbledore's final declaration.
Even though some people had predicted that this day would happen sooner or later, no one could have imagined that this day would happen so soon.
Even before Christmas this year, Dumbledore is about to start a new round of war.
But this time the situation is completely reversed. The previous Wu Pingxian seemed to be standing on the edge of a cliff. If they were repelled by a step, they would lose everything. Now those who are caught in this situation have become Voldemort's side. .
As long as this war starts in the UK, once Voldemort is defeated, all his business operations for more than ten years will be burned, and it will return to the scene of nothing.
Grindelwald, far in the northernmost part of Europe, of course heard today's broadcast.
It's just that he seldom stays in Durmstrang these days, but always stays in Hans' dilapidated monastery.
After listening to Dumbledore's final declaration of war, Grindelwald silently turned off the radio, turned and said to Hans and Eric standing behind him with their heads bowed.
"The war we expected is about to start, so we can also prepare for the second phase of our plan."
Hans and Eric fell to one knee together.
“We are willing to follow all your instructions!”
"Disclose part of the experiments and plans in the Arctic to the core personnel of the Uzumaki Party. At the same time, in Finland, you have selected the first suitable site for the second phase, and completely closed and isolated it. Remember, it must be dealt with in the middle In relation to the Muggle government, our biggest advantage is that they don't have a deep understanding of our existence, which is the only benefit that the secrecy law brings us."
Because of Dumbledore's declaration of war today, there have been many unknown turmoil and changes in the outside world. The Wuping Line headquarters in France has not yet received news.
But their own focus is not here, because the declaration of war is never the beginning of a war, but the unveiling of a dispute that has long been hidden in the dark.
"Activate all the safe houses we left in the UK before, eliminate some of them that are no longer usable, and use the part that can still be used as a temporary base."
"Contact all our relationships in Diagon Alley, Knockturn Alley, and Hogsmeade, and ask them to gather as much supplies as possible in the UK. Soon these channels will all be cut off."
"Notify all the high-level officials, and finally determine the points we will pull out after a large number of people enter the UK and the place to occupy the fastest. The operation is scheduled for sunrise tomorrow."
"Let the vanguard wizard team determine their apparition landing point, and use the fastest time to destroy the Department of Magical Transport's apparition supervision of the entire UK after landing."
"The cracking of the UK's domestic flyway network must continue. Even if our people can't use it, their flyway network must be destroyed and the transportation of personnel and materials will be cut off."
“.”
The entire Wuping Line headquarters was busy, and Jon followed Dumbledore through one office after another with people coming in and out, and finally entered the room that belonged to him alone.
After returning to this room, Dumbledore closed the door to isolate all the noise from the outside world, and at the same time let Jon sit down opposite him with a solemn expression.
"Although the current Hogwarts has been turned into a five-year school by me, you are still just a student after the school starts, and you have not graduated from the school, but everyone, including me, knows that we cannot treat you as a Ordinary fifth-grade students look at it, and in the upcoming war, you also have a task that no one can replace."
Dumbledore's voice was heavy, and he didn't blink his eyes while speaking, and he kept staring at Jon all the time.
Jon didn't avoid his eyes, because he knew very well that Dumbledore would definitely have a different task for him.
"Don't worry, professor, I'm better prepared than anyone else."
Dumbledore nodded, of course he was always at ease with Jon.
"Horace, at my direction, has secured from Voldemort a job in the Department of Mysteries. Voldemort has kept him confined to the Office of the Minister since his retirement from the position of Director of the National Department of Magical Affairs. But later, because of Snape, you also know that he had been making potions for another Voldemort before. Horace re-entered the current Voldemort's vision, and he did not forget his mentor He is one of the best potions professors in Hogwarts. So the task of cracking Snape's potion was entrusted to him."
"And this potion has a deep relationship with something in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic, that is, the bottle of golden gravel that Snape sent to you before he died. This is a very important thing , Jon, it's so important that Voldemort has to hide it from his other self. At first I thought it was just something he discovered later, a means of immortality, but after digging into the bottle of gravel, I realized that It's not just that."
"So I signaled Horace to think that Voldemort was researching the bottle of potion left by Snape, so he was transferred to the Department of Mysteries as deputy director. This is the highest position he can get. Take the beginning A war can also provide cover in a disguised form, you have to sneak into the British Ministry of Magic and go to the Department of Mysteries with Horace to find out the room and information that once stored this bottle of gravel."
Dumbledore held the bottle of golden gravel in his hand, and his eyes were serious like never before.
Jon also felt Dumbledore's attitude. Even when he sneaked into Hogwarts Castle in disguise, Dumbledore was not as serious as he is today.
He didn't refuse the task, and it was impossible for him to refuse. Jon just stared at Dumbledore's royal blue eyes.
"Professor, have you discovered anything?"
Dumbledore was silent for a moment, he didn't seem to want to hide from Jon.
"I am a conjecture, Jon, a conjecture that is not good for us, for everyone else, and for the world. What I have asked you to do now is to prove whether this conjecture is correct. "
"If I'm wrong, we're going all the way to victory in this war, no surprise. But if I'm right"
He paused, then continued.
"Perhaps the prophecy of the savior who was called a joke after Lily's child died was actually true all along."
