The Rise of the Muggles at Hogwarts

Chapter 184 The Truth (6)



Chapter 184 The Truth (6)

At this moment, all the wizards are holding their wands high, and the magic spells are like concentrated fluorescence, gathering in the sky and turning into a faint canopy.

Then, lightning collided with the sky, "Boom--Boom!"

The huge sound resounded in everyone's ears like the earth was shattering. Many soldiers were unable to stand due to the huge vibration and fell to the ground.

Lightning poured out its anger and struck the sky, while the protective screen where countless people gathered was trembling violently.

Seeing this, Pierce was not happy at all.

Because, although the sky was trembling, it was not broken directly. It looked as thin as paper, but in fact, with the blessing of countless wizards, it had a miraculous strength.

After the thunder and lightning in the sky encountered tenacious resistance, the electric arcs that had nowhere to vent suddenly broke through the shackles of magic. The spherical shape collapsed and scattered, and the huge electric arcs spurted out like sickles, plowing out a path in the surrounding land. Road scars.

This terrifying curse was finally successfully resisted by countless wizards.

At this time, the heads of state who saw this scene on the surveillance system breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now, can you tell me, what is going on?" Mr. Huck finally recovered from the shock of that scene. After seeing that everything had settled, he finally asked the questions that had been silent in his heart. Finished.

The heads of state of France, Germany and Russia looked at each other with meaningful smiles on their faces, but no one spoke.

"Sir, it's from Buckingham Palace." At this moment, Bernard came over with a heavy look on his face.In his hand was a document that had just been printed.

"What?" Mr. Harker angrily picked up his eyes from the table beside him, put them on, and then took the document from Bernard's hand.

Originally, he didn't pay much attention to the document sent from Buckingham Palace, because it was probably just an inquiry from the Queen.During the war, it is the normal state of the monarch.

But after he symbolically turned a few pages, Mr. Harker's expression suddenly changed, and his anger instantly erupted.He slammed the document on the table hard, stared at the three heads of state in front of him, and said in a low voice: "Is this your plan? At the expense of London's millions of people?"

"You took Huck on yourself." French President Jacques Maynard said calmly.

"We did not make the plan," German Chancellor Agnes Bruckner continued: "We just had this need."

"Demand?" Mr. Harker snapped: "Is this your excuse to use London civilians as bait?"

He was almost furious.What kind of multinational summit is a conspiracy from the beginning?

I made the same mistake as before, stupidly swallowing the trouble that was packaged as honor by others.Now he finally knew what to ask why they didn't compete with him for the venue.

I'm like a monkey, being fooled around!

"We are the bait, and this is a necessary sacrifice! Mr. Prime Minister, you don't think you can accept the magic power of your country peacefully, do you?" Russian President Vladimirovich sneered: "How many corpses were buried in Siberia before the Opposing voices must be completely silenced. This time is a purge of wizards throughout Europe. From now on, all forces that block national integration will be eliminated.”

"That's you, don't take Britain with you by force!" Mr. Harker roared angrily.

The document Bernard sent was the autobiography of a wizard named Fanny from Buckingham Palace.

Since then, he finally knew the full story of the conspiracy.

Since the Second World War, there has been a terrorist organization called the Saints and Wizards on the European continent. With the purpose of provoking a war between wizards and Muggles, they recruit troops everywhere and seriously hinder the integration reforms implemented by governments of various countries.

Moreover, with the rapid development of modern technology, many purebloods or wizards who did not really agree with Grindelwald's views in the past have chosen to join the Saints. This has directly led to the fact that the Ministry of Magic in some small countries can even be influenced by them.

The battle between the European powers and the Saints has begun more than ten years ago. They are pressing forward step by step, constantly squeezing the living environment of the Saints members, but they have never had any good solutions for the key members of the organization. , Wizards are not ordinary people. If a wizard really chooses to hide somewhere and not come out, then no matter how hard the government tries, it will be useless.

The turning point of the matter occurred a year ago, when a mortal named Moriarty came to them, and then a conspiracy was quietly formulated.

After that, the plan was carried out quite smoothly, including the wizard named Fanny's penetration into the organization as an undercover agent, which was disturbingly smooth. So far, their only trouble was, where to choose to set up the trap?

Originally, the Three Kingdoms planned to choose a city in a small European country.

But ever since Mr. Harker learned that they intended to form a transnational intelligence organization (trap) against wizards, he became extremely excited and kept inviting them to hold multinational meetings in London. But since things had reached this point, they naturally would not Refuse, since the British Prime Minister is willing to take advantage of him, of course they will help him.

That's how it all started.

Fanny kept tempting Pierce to attack heads of state. In addition, this was indeed a unique opportunity, and they also received some help.

Jin Cangshui's help.

It can be said that from the moment Pierce made up his mind to attack London, he was destined to die.

His fate had already become 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.Dismemberment of Saints, this dark wizard force that has existed for decades, has great temptations for all parties.

-

At this time, in the outside world, Pierce stared at the lightning ball that exploded like fireworks, and his heart was already half cold. He didn't know that his sad fate had already been agreed upon by many people. He just thought that his attack plan had been delayed for too long. Eventually it attracted many enemies.

As the blue-white light gradually disappeared in the sky like raindrops.

An indescribable feeling of frustration welled up in Pierce's heart.

He failed!

It just failed!

From the time he came here to now, Pierce has always remained calm, and he was even prepared to die together. But when the blow of failure hit him, he realized that he was more afraid of failure than death.

Pierce lowered his arms feebly. The level of magic he had just used had exhausted all his magic power and energy.Now he is a lamb to be slaughtered.

"Sir!" The wizard next to him was still calling him loudly, but Pierce's eyes were already lifeless, as if he was a body without a soul.

The rising anti-Apparition spells around them had completely killed their last method of escape.

As for a frontal breakthrough - that's a joke!

"Everyone spread out, run away one by one!" He said feebly, and in his heart he could do nothing but curse the group of traitors who betrayed the wizards, 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 did this!

Are you so willing to be a lackey for Muggles?

Where is the wizard's thousand-year pride?What about faith?

Merlin, why are these people walking on the land of your care?

"Sir?" The wizard beside him seemed to want to say something more, but Pierce was too lazy to pay attention.

They have no idea what the consequences of failure in this operation will be!

The more than 40 wizards who attacked London have been the backbone of the Saints organization for decades.The fact that they are all folded in London means that the Saints are finished, and the remaining ones are nothing more than loose shrimps and some grass on the wall.So what if I escape by myself?

Will we continue to shrink for a few more decades?

No - no - instead of falling into endless waiting, let him completely drown in the quagmire of ideals!

"boom!"

A gunshot rang out from the dense forest behind them.Pierce only felt some pain in his chest, and then he didn't know anything else.

And with his fall, the wizard attack war that swept millions of people finally came to an end.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the army from military bases from various places finally arrived in London. The sound of gunfire from all directions was the last sound to encircle and suppress the terrorists.

The entire encirclement and suppression battle lasted for a day. The terrorists occupied city buildings and fought street battles with the army. This indeed caused some obstacles to the army.

But it was only a matter of time before they were completely eliminated. Early the next morning, the gunfire in London stopped.

Except for the smell of gunpowder spreading in the air and the damaged buildings, everything has settled.

Whitehall, No. [-] Downing Street, sitting in front of Mr. Harker in the Prime Minister's Office are several wizards.

Most of them are members of the United Wizards Association, as well as senior officials from the Ministry of Magic of other countries. Of course, senior officials from the Ministry of Magic of our own country are also involved.

"You've come to this level, and you still want to hide the magical world? Don't you think it's ridiculous?" Mr. Harker looked at the blond wizards in robes with a cold face and disdain.

These are all veteran wizards of the United Wizards Association and are the actual leaders of the Federation. As for the president of the Federation, Dumbledore, he plays more of a mascot role. His influence on the Federation is completely Can't compare to these old guys.

"This is not just a legal issue." One of the wizards in purple robes and gold-trimmed robes said calmly: "The problem of racial discrimination within Muggles has never disappeared, let alone the sudden increase in the number of wizards? Have you ever thought about what the millions of people in London think of wizards?"

"They had just gone through the war, and their hatred of wizards was at its peak."

"So clearing their memories is the most effective and convenient way."

As he spoke, he looked at the gathering clouds outside and continued: "We have a way to make these million people forget about this matter, but you need to clean up the rest of the matter yourself."

"Absurd!" Mr. Hacker yelled: "I'm afraid you don't know how far human technology has developed. Even if you can make millions of people lose their memory at the same time, those photos and videos - I'm afraid The whole world has long known what happened in London at this time, do you have the ability to make the entire earth forget it?"

This is not an alarmist statement by Mr. Harker. Last night he had already received phone calls from governments of most major countries in the world. What happened in London had already set off a storm throughout the world.

Never underestimate that group of reporters. Even in the streets where gunfire rang out yesterday, there were reporters broadcasting live. Some even captured some precious pictures that even the British government did not have, such as photos of the leaders of the terrorist organization’s army. , it was taken by a newspaper and sent to them.

That newspaper seems to be called New So-and-So.

After hearing this, the expressions of several old wizards suddenly changed. Most of them were over a hundred years old, and their impressions of Muggles were still at the level of World War II.Now that I suddenly learned that the whole world might know about what happened in London, I didn't know what to do for a while.

After all, there has never been such a serious leak in the past 500 years.This is indeed beyond their cognitive scope.

"But..." Then what else did the white-bearded wizard want to say.But his mind was blank and he couldn't say anything.

At this moment, Bernard came over and said something in Mr. Harker's ear with a serious look on his face.

The latter's pupils narrowed and he waved his hand quickly.

Next, the door to the Prime Minister's Office was pushed open, and a TV was moved in. Then Bernard turned on the TV, and what appeared on the screen was the top leader of the United Kingdom, the Queen of Britain, Her Majesty Elizabeth.

The queen was dressed in black, matching the white roses placed on the table, and she felt a solemn and solemn aura.

Then her soft voice sounded.

"..."

"Going back to the topic of invasion again, I don't think this is something we've ever had in the long history of this century."

"I have every confidence in my government's ability to defend the British people and their property."

"But this time - this time! I don't want to hide it, but it was not other countries or terrorist organizations that attacked us." After the queen took a deep breath on the TV, a trace of tenacity flashed in her eyes, and then she used the most authentic British accent. Slowly read out one word: "Wizard!"

"Yes, a wizard organization from another country attacked us."

As Her Majesty Elizabeth's voice sounded, her eyes turned to the camera. After that, the camera switched to Buckingham Palace, the devastated land around it, and London that was already full of ruins.

The Queen's voiceover continues: "London has been attacked - the greatest destruction of a 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 all I heard on the radio was bad news. Poland had fallen, France had fallen, most of Europe had fallen. It fell into **’s hands.”

"London was being bombed by enemy planes all day long. Although I never doubted that we would fail, I still had all kinds of bad thoughts in my heart. If the enemy landed in our country, if this country Most of the land is occupied by the enemy, what will happen if we are really defeated."

"In those years, I asked myself countless times, what can we do?"

When Her Majesty Elizabeth said these words, the scene turned to the urban area of ​​London. The dilapidated city was devastated, but the British flag was still flying on 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, I will once again believe without reservation that my government and all my people on this land will definitely defeat all invading enemies without wavering or being discouraged. We will persist until the end! The sun is shining on this land again!”

The Queen's words were deafening, and the voice from the TV inspired her people over and over again.

But everyone in the Prime Minister's Office fell silent.

"It seems that we don't need to discuss this issue anymore!" Mr. Harker's face glowed with a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time. At least with the Queen's guarantee, his position is much more secure.

After all, didn't the Queen say that the wizard who attacked them, what could a Muggle Prime Minister do?

"Alright, the next step is how to deal with the criminals."

Mr. Harker had just finished speaking.

The Union wizard on the side immediately jumped up, and he said in a deep voice: "Pierce and his gang members will be fairly tried by the Union. Wizards' matters should be left to the wizards..."

"According to what you are saying, the ten thousand people who died in London seemed to have died in vain?" Mr. Harker immediately refuted: "The first offender must be tried by the government. This is not negotiable. I am not discussing it with you anymore, it is just a routine matter. Just informing you!"

Hearing the sound, the wizard was obviously furious. He said angrily: "Then what? Do you want to burn him to death like you did to the wizard hundreds of years ago?"

"How could a civilized country use such methods!" Mr. Huck retorted: "Is your culture still stuck hundreds of years ago?"

"He will get justice, but it must be the British people who judge him."

"You!" The wizard suddenly stood up, as if he wanted to rush in front of Mr. Harker and fight him, but in the end he held back, and finally gave Mr. Harker a fierce look before slamming the door and leaving. .

With the thorn missing, the smell of gunpowder in the entire office has weakened a lot.

The subsequent discussions about the matter became much smoother.

-

On the other side, Anthony finally returned to Buckingham Palace, and he was a little disappointed.After wandering around London for a night, he was tired and hungry, but he just felt that he was weak. He couldn't do anything to help, except to deal with some terrorists, which was to repair damaged city buildings.

After returning to Buckingham Palace, I had a simple breakfast, and then chatted with my aunt for a while.

After receiving Rossius's guidance, he headed to the back garden without stopping.

Rosius said that there was a wizard in the courtyard, and her identity was the granddaughter of Vader Rozier, the rumored most loyal follower of Grindelwald.

Of course, these just didn't make Anthony curious. What really surprised him was the name, Moriarty!

That name came out of that wizard's mouth.

In the courtyard, most of the land has been restored as before, but there is still a slight smell of gunpowder in the air.

The beautiful woman in a military-style long trench coat, top hat and veil was sitting in the courtyard holding a cup of black tea.In the distance, dozens of members of the Wizard Terrorist Mobile Team were gathering.

"Do you know Moriarty?"

Anthony walked over quickly, and without any hesitation he directly read the man's name.

The name made the lady stunned. She raised her head, revealing her eyes that were as brown as amber.

"Oh! It's you! My dear." Fanny's red lips opened slightly, and her seductive voice sounded.

"What? What do you want to know?"

"You know me?" Anthony could tell from her tone that she seemed to have seen him before.But he had no impression of her at all, and Anthony could guarantee that this woman never appeared in the original novel.

"Where's the Prince of Magic! Who doesn't know him?" Fanny said softly. She picked up the black tea in her hand and took a sip: "To a certain extent, Mr. Moriarty has many similarities with your ideas."

As she spoke, she took out a business card from her coat pocket and handed it to Anthony.

"When have you ever wanted to know about the future world? Welcome to join us!"

"Your Highness Anthony!"

Afterwards, she stood up and slowly walked towards the group of wizards' terrorist mobile units, and then walked with them away from Buckingham Palace.

Soon their figures disappeared into a forest.

At this moment, Anthony withdrew his gaze and checked the business card in his hand.

This is a pure black business card with gold patterns on the corners. The white words on the front read: nightcity (Night City). There is also a string of small words in the lower right corner: United States, Northern California Free State.

There are also white words on the back, saying: Night International (Night International) CEO: James Moriarty

"Night City? Knight International?" Anthony frowned, the name seemed familiar to him.

I seem to have heard it there.

Night City—Night City!

While he was chanting, an owl suddenly flew over in the distance.

Anthony recognized Harry's Hedwig instantly.He slowly stretched out his hand, and Hedwig settled firmly on his arm.

"Um? A letter from Harry?"

Taking the letter from Hedwig, he turned and walked towards the palace.As he walked, he tore open the letter.

-

Dear Anthony:

Take me to say hello to the Queen!

I learned from the Daily Prophet that London was attacked by wizards from other countries yesterday. I heard that many people died. Hermione is very worried about her parents. If it is safe, can you take her to visit her parents?

Also, regarding the Dursleys...please write me back, please?

Please tell us your situation as soon as possible, friends: Harry and Hermione.

-

"Mr. and Mrs. Granger?"

Anthony was stunned. Mr. Granger's dental 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 hurriedly walked towards the palace.

A phone call to Mr. Bond will tell you everything. He must have sent agents to protect Hermione's family.
