Ch 806-810
Seeing the Ministry of Magic officials kneeling and begging for mercy, the Death Eaters onlookers laughed happily...
Kingsley Shaker and others flushed their cheeks and felt shameful for those colleagues who abandoned their dignity.
"My patience is limited, I will only wait for the last minute! There is no need to live for those who are still standing at that time!" Ivan said casually, looking at the ten people who were still standing at the end.
A little hesitation appeared on the faces of the wizards who were still firm in their beliefs, considering whether to choose to sacrifice fearlessly here, or to compromise to save their lives for the time being, and then plan a counterattack in the future.
If there is still a chance of victory, they will definitely fight for it without hesitation, but it is a pity that they are bound to die in their current form, and it is meaningless to die!
As time passed bit by bit, just as Arthur and the others were preparing to compromise, the wall behind them suddenly burst open, and the flying debris fell like a arrow toward the Death Eaters.
The sudden attack surpassed everyone's expectations, and only a few powerful Death Eaters could react to it, constructing a protective barrier to block the sky full of rubble.
In the smoke and dust from the explosion, more than two dozen Aurors and a large number of unfamiliar faces emerged from the tunnel.
At the same time, there was a loud noise from the entrance of the meeting room. Under the attention of everyone, the executive director Pierce, who had been missing for a whole morning, strode forward with hundreds of wizards and surrounded the Death Eaters from all directions. When he got up, he shouted righteously.
"Your end is here, the Dark Lord!"
Arthur and others, who had fallen into despair, were shocked when they looked at Pearston, who seemed to have fallen from the sky.
Although they still don't understand where Pierce went this morning, and why he suddenly appeared here with so many people, those are not important. What is important is that the time to fight back has arrived!
"Reducto~ (Bone torn Kingsley Shaker seized the opportunity and took the lead in provoking the battle. The spell beam instantly hit a Death Eater who hadn't reacted, knocking him to the bottom.
As soon as the war was about to start, the Death Eaters who had reacted launched their counterattacks, but the Death Eaters who had just escaped from prison and experienced a fierce battle were not the opponents of the law enforcement and the Aurors at all, not to mention Pierce's manpower. They are more!
Within a few moments of the battle, more than a dozen Death Eaters died one after another...
However, the besieged Death Eaters quickly regained their composure after the initial chaos, because everyone knew that the Dark Lord was powerful, and his combat power alone was enough to make up for the difference in numbers.
The fact is exactly the same. Ivan waved his wand vigorously, and the wall on one side was violently pulled over, blocking the attack of dozens of law enforcers. Then, with another wave of the wand, several Aurors fell to the ground. Sorry.
Just as the battle was relapsed into anxiety, Pierce shouted loudly again.
"What are you waiting for? Don't hurry up!"
Pierce's heartbreaking shouts stunned the Death Eaters who didn't know the truth, Kingsley and others.
Could there be an ambush?
As the shouting sounded, 20 wizards including Malfoy, McNeill, Crabbe, etc., turned their wands at almost the same moment and pointed them at the Death Eaters beside them.
"Diffindo! (torn apart
"Petrificus~ (all petrochemicals
"AvadaKedavra (Avada Kedavra)!"
...
A large number of spell beams hit the unsuspecting Death Eaters, and in that instant nearly a quarter of the Death Eaters fell on the spot!
Arthur and Kingsley were stunned when they watched this scene. They never expected that Lucius Malfoy and others would suddenly turn back and attack the Death Eaters.
Could it be that these people are the undercover agents that Pierce sent to Voldemort?
No wonder the executive director came here with a lot of manpower as if he had already prepared.
The rebellion of McNeill and others completely changed the situation of the battle. The Death Eaters became a mess and their morale plummeted.
Only Bella reluctantly dodged the first wave of sneak attacks, and turned her head to look at Malfoy and others who were madly killing her colleagues. The whole popularity went crazy.
"How dare you... dare to betray us, Lucius!" Bella didn't know who attacked herself, so she pointed her wand directly at the most familiar Lucius Malfoy, and roared in anger. .
"AvadaKedavra~"
Luciusston, who had just killed a Death Eater, felt a palpitation. When he saw the green light on Bella's wand, it was even more unforgettable, but he found it too late. The green beam had already flown towards him. Come here.
Fortunately, one foot kicked over and kicked Lucius to the ground. The green light beam drew across Lucius's head in a thrilling manner and hit the wall behind.
At this time, Bella, who was distracted by the rage, was quickly blasted away by the spell beam from the side.
Lucius rolled on the ground twice in embarrassment, with a cold sweat on his forehead, and blessed himself with an iron armor curse before he got up again with lingering fears.
Until this time, Lucius unexpectedly discovered that it was Arthur Weasley who had saved him for many years!
"I've always hated you, Malfoy! But I have to say, you finally did something right this time!" Arthur Weasley waved his wand and knocked down a Death Eater, turning his head to look at Lucius. Said with emotion.
"Huh, be nosy, don't need your help~www.mtlnovel.com~ I can avoid it myself!" Lucius defended very stiffly, but he couldn't help leaning against Arthur. So as not to be singled out by others.
Arthur Weasley didn't say much, and devoted himself entirely to the battle.
The sudden change of the situation on the court made the Dark Lord furious, and the wand waved one after another, and bursts of explosions sounded in the conference room!
But at this time, the balance of power between the enemy and ours has been completely out of balance. Under the joint control of dozens of law enforcement officers, even if it is as strong as the Dark Lord, it will not be able to recover, and a large number of Death Eaters have fallen under the encirclement.
"I beg you to find a way, master!"
"help me!"
...
Auguste and the others wailed bitterly, and under everyone's attention, the Dark Lord seemed to be extremely angry.
"Enough, all die for me!" Ivan furiously waved his magic wand, and in an instant he blew up 30 law enforcement agents around him!
However, before the Death Eaters felt happy, Ivan suddenly turned around, stretched out his black robe like a black lightning, and was blown out of the hole in the wall and flew out.
The Dark Lord... escaped? !
Everyone present was stunned, but after thinking about it, there seemed to be no surprises. Once all the Death Eaters here were defeated, facing the siege of more than two hundred wizards, even the famous Dark Lord would do it. Die here!
"No, master! You can't abandon us!" August looked at Voldemort who was fleeing in a hurry, and shouted in despair.
"Take me away, Master, please, take me away!" Carlos brothers and sisters lay on the waste rock, their heads covered with blood, they could not accept the fact that they were ruthlessly abandoned by the Dark Lord.
The rest of the Death Eaters also cried and cried, completely lost their fighting spirit, and fell into endless despair...
The Death Eaters who had lost their fighting spirit were quickly wiped out one after another.
In order to prevent the next large-scale escape from prison, the law enforcement officers took fierce measures. Except for a dozen Death Eaters who had lost their combat effectiveness, the rest of the prisoners were killed on the spot.
After a simple cleaning of the battlefield, Arthur Weasley and others gratefully stepped forward and gave Pierce a hug.
"Thank you so much, Pierce, you saved us!"
"Yeah! If you come later, I'm afraid you can only collect the bodies for us..." Rufus Scrimgeour said with lingering fear.
The rest of the Ministry of Magic officials also stepped forward to express their gratitude, and some of the thoughtful wizards were even more enthusiastic.
After all, the current Minister of Magic Fudge died under the mysterious man's life-killing curse, and the Ministry of Magic will officially launch the election of the next minister at the latest tomorrow morning.
Pierce was originally a popular candidate for the ministerial election, and now he has made great achievements in this battle, leading people to fight off the Dark Lord, and rescued more than 30 high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Magic. Anyone with a discerning eye can see the next one. The Minister of Magic has no more suspense.
In the midst of the praise, Rufus Scrimgeour asked about the whole incident in a somewhat disappointing manner. He was very curious about how Pierce learned about the Mysterious Plan in advance, and why Lucius and others did it. Suddenly rebelled.
Under the inquisitive gaze of Rufus Scrimgeour and others, Pierce was very calm, repeating the words that he had thought up a long time ago.
"That's it. A week ago, McNeill suddenly found me, explained the mysterious man's plan to attack the Ministry of Magic, and provided some memories as evidence... At that time I realized the seriousness of the matter and called some Trustworthy people started investigating secretly."
The wizards on the field turned their heads to look at McNeill. Many of them participated in the trial more than ten years ago. Of course, they know the identity of McNeil's former Death Eater. Dissatisfied with the tyranny of the mysterious man, he chose to resist and revealed the news of the attack on the Ministry of Magic to Pierce.
Kingsley Shacklebolt still felt a little strange, and asked nonchalantly. "Since you have evidence in your hands, why don't you tell us in advance? This can avoid a lot of unnecessary casualties."
"Excuse me for being cautious, Kingsley... I couldn't be sure at that time whether you were the undercover of mysterious people." Pierce said solemnly, then turned to look at Lucius, and continued to speak.
"After all, Mr. Malfoy told me that Secretary Fudge might have some kind of obscure deal with the mysterious man, so it's best not to believe it!"
"En?" Seeing Pierce suddenly throw the pot to himself, Lucius couldn't help but was stunned, but he quickly reacted and nodded.
"Ah, yes, that's it. I heard this news from the Dark Lord by chance, but the Dark Lord doesn't trust me much, so I don't know what kind of agreement he and Minister Fudge have reached."
Hearing this, Arthur and the others looked down at Fudge who fell on the ground. They understood Pierce's caution, even the Minister of Magic had problems, and it was someone else.
Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Pierce understood that they probably believed their words and continued to explain.
"In view of this, I can only start from the outside. Just in recent months, Minister Fudge asked me to be responsible for investigating the affairs of Knockover Alley. By chance, I met Mr. Dougt and Ms. Aisia there, and learned from them about the recent The changes in the alley..."
Pierce babbled the good things of the two and tried to prove that the residents living in Knockdown Alley had expelled the vicious dark wizards and achieved true democratic autonomy. These righteous men who enthusiastically came to help were the most. Good proof!
Listening to Pierce's words, Kingsley Shaker and others' expressions were more weird. No one in the entire magic world knew that Knockdown Alley was the gathering place for dark wizards. For hundreds of years, there was chaos and disorder, full of killings and Conspiracy is not a place for normal people at all.
Counting on these dark wizards to suddenly wake up and change their past?
The sudden death of mysterious people is more reliable than this!
In contrast, Kingsley Shackler is more willing to believe that Pierce has reached an agreement with these people, promising a lot of benefits in order to summon so many people to work for him in a short period of time.
But Kingsley Shaker didn't make this point publicly. After all, it's a special time, and all the forces that can be united need to be united.
He has witnessed the combat power of those dark wizards with his own eyes. Compared with the Auror, he has not made any difference, and even shot more fiercely. If some prejudice forces them to the mysterious side, it will be over...
After spending more than ten minutes explaining the whole story, Pierce gathered all the people who were not seriously injured into the hall and started the post-war reorganization.
The battle just now caused extremely serious damage and a large number of casualties~www.mtlnovel.com~ There are hundreds of people who just need to be sent to the medical room for first aid!
Coupled with the need to arrange a place to detain the Death Eaters, a meeting was held to discuss how to repair the badly damaged building. At the end of the day, Pierce was so busy that he did not catch a free time until about 4 pm, and was able to spare half an hour to go there. Take a break in the office.
Despite being exhausted physically and mentally, Pierce particularly enjoys this feeling of being in power, not to mention that everyone now regards him as a hero who drives away mysterious people, even Rufus, who has not dealt with much in the past, treats him. Thankful.
Thinking of this, Pierce felt a little airy.
Click...
Just as Pierce was thinking about it, the door of the office was suddenly pushed open. Pierce's face appeared a little unpleasant. He looked up as if to see who was not long-eyed and walked away without knocking on the door.
However, after seeing the incoming person clearly, Pilston shuddered and the arrogant expression on his face immediately became extremely humble. He hurriedly stood up, stepped aside, and greeted very respectfully.
"Your Excellency Hals..."
Ivan locked the door with his backhand and sat on the main seat without any notice. He tapped on the table with his right hand and asked casually. "How are things going, Pierce? Does anyone doubt us?"
"No, your plan is seamless. Now everyone believes that a mysterious person has attacked the Ministry of Magic... No one would have thought of the second possibility!" Pierce shook his head quickly and said excitedly.
Pierce was very fortunate that he had chosen to take refuge in the other side wisely half a month ago. Otherwise, this would either be as deadly as Fudge, or be played around like the group of fools outside who don't know the truth...
Pierce's praise of Ivan was all deaf ears. Although the plan this time was perfect enough, it was at best able to hide it from some outsiders.
For example, the Dark Lord will definitely find something wrong, and Knott, who mysteriously disappeared before the war, is also a hidden danger...
Fortunately, now the most dangerous time has passed. After this war, the entire Ministry of Magic is in his grasp.
In addition, the newspaper's voice channels have been controlled in advance, so even if someone sees something and chooses to stand up and expose the truth, it's impossible to make waves.
Thinking of this, Ivan's tense expression relaxed a bit, looking at Pierce who was still trying to flatter, shook his head, and interrupted.
"Don't talk about the useless, casualties and losses? Are they all counted? I want all the data..."
"I've already asked. About 600 wizards participated in this battle. Of these, 127 wizards were slightly injured, 94 were seriously injured, and 245 wizards died. In addition, some of the ruins are still there. We are cleaning up, so there may be some omissions..."
At this point, Pierce's face became serious. Such a large casualty is an extremely headache for him, the incoming Minister of Magic.
"So many people died?" Ivan was somewhat surprised. Before the war, he did a lot of measures to reduce casualties.
For example, the protection ring sold to the Aurors before, or ordering the Death Eaters not to fall in love with each other, and directly kill Fudge and implement the beheading operation. This way, the process of making a knife is eliminated, and it should be able to save many people. Life.
And he himself, although he released a lot of powerful magic in the battle, he was just pretending to look at the grand scene, but he kept his hands. Just looking at killing traitors and destroying buildings, he couldn't kill a few people. .
Seeing Ivan's doubts about this, Pierce immediately explained it.
Most of the two hundred and forty-five wizards who died were prisoners of Azkaban. Aurors and Ministry of Magic clerks accounted for only a small part of them. A total of 67 were unfortunate in the fight against the Death Eaters. In the deaths, the law enforcement officers suffered even fewer injuries, and only 21 people died from beginning to end.
Ivan then understood that the cruel order to the Death Eaters was personally issued to prevent Voldemort from robbing the prison again to rescue people, destroying the results of this operation, and also saving a lot for the Ministry of Magic by the way. Expenses.
As for the deaths and injuries of more than 80 friendly wizards, Ivan's heartache is still acceptable.
Although he is kind by nature, he is by no means indecisive!
To defeat Voldemort and reverse the current disadvantages, some sacrifices are necessary, and this plan has the smallest casualties of all the actions he can think of!
Ivan is very clear that if he continues to be negative as he did in previous years, Voldemort will definitely increase the penetration of the Ministry of Magic and use official power to deal with himself. Unless he is willing to dissolve the law enforcement officers and prove his innocence, it will be 100% longer. New contradictions will break out.
At that time, it will not be solved by the death of one or two hundred wizards. The second British wizarding war will break out immediately, and the entire magical world will be charred...
As the culprit, Voldemort was able to hide in the dark and reap the benefits of the fisherman. This is something Ivan said could not accept, so he finally decided to attack the opponent first, and in turn cheated the opponent!
Thinking of this, Ivan sighed, and then continued to speak. "All the people who died in this battle were heroes of the magical world. They were given three times the pension. In addition, all wizards who were injured or participated in the battle were given an additional three months' salary as comfort and reward."
For the dead, Ivan couldn't bring them back to life, but paying more pensions would give the families of the deceased a guarantee, which was the only thing he could do.
Pierce naturally had no opinion. After such a big battle, the people in the Ministry of Magic were panicked, and raising a little bit of welfare would help unite people's hearts.
Even if Ivan didn't order, he planned to do so, but...
Pierce couldn't help but think of the news he had received from the logistics office, and his face suddenly became a little sad.
"What's the matter?" Ivan keenly noticed the change in Pierce's face, and asked strangely.
"Your Excellency Hals, the Ministry of Magic was badly damaged in this war, and coupled with the plan to pay the pension, I am afraid it will take about 600,000 gallons, but..." Pierce hesitated for a long time until Ivan's face appeared. He was obviously impatient, and he continued quietly.
"But there are less than 300,000 gallons in the vault of the Ministry of Magic..."
what? Is the Ministry of Magic so poor? Ivan looked at Pierce with weird eyes. He couldn't imagine that as the official institution of the magic world, the Ministry of Magic's treasury only had so little money...
In the face of Ivan's questioning gaze, Pilston was very bitter and condemned the former Minister Fudge for perverse actions and would not increase revenue and reduce expenditure at all.
Despite the fact that the Ministry of Magic collects a lot of taxes each year, the various expenses are equally astonishing. Especially in recent years, the annual fiscal deficit has forced them to borrow a large amount of money from the fairies of Gringotts!
The reason why Fudge insists that the mysterious person does not exist may also have this reason ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ After all, the Ministry of Magic is too poor to fight a war.
"Your Excellency Hals, I can take out one hundred thousand gallons personally, but it's still a lot worse..." Pierce gritted his teeth and took out all his savings. Sinknis is not a pure-blooded family with a long heritage. One hundred thousand gallons was saved by his hard work.
"I will give you 400,000 gallons as a reserve fund. Recently, the Ministry of Magic has a lot of money to spend..." Ivan readily agreed to Pierce's request. Now it is not the time to save money, but to control it smoothly. In the magical world, Jin Jialong doesn't need as many as there are.
"By the way, I remember that among the dead Death Eaters, some were members of the pure-blood family, right?" Ivan suddenly thought of this, and was shocked that he didn't have to pay, but he could make a fortune instead. Then he spoke and suggested. "You can consider confiscating their property to make up for the financial shortcomings..."
Others don't know it, but Bella's vault has a lot of good things. Her husband Rodolphs Lestrange is the patriarch of the ancient pure-blood family. His family is also rich. It's enough to copy this one. Fill this vacancy.
"This is probably difficult to do, Your Excellency Hals, these people's property and land deeds are basically stored in Gringotts. Those goblins always only accept contracts to do things. Even if I become the Minister of Magic, I am afraid I can't force it. Collect it." Pierce said helplessly.
"Gringotts again?!" Ivan's face showed a bit of unpleasantness. He has never understood why the wizard who dominates the entire magical world can tolerate such an important place as a bank to a group of greedy goblins. In hand.
If you know that fiscal power is the lifeblood of a country, you can't be too careful...
"Do you have a way to put those fairies in peace? Pierce?" Ivan groaned.
If he remembers correctly, Voldemort's other Horcrux Hufflepuff's gold cup is now in Bella's vault, and it is better to take it out and destroy it as soon as possible to be on the safe side.
"Your Excellency Hals, fairies are different from other magical creatures. They are surprisingly united and very difficult to deal with. They also operate multiple banks and almost control the entire European finances. But... But I will find a way to give them as soon as possible. It's crushing... it may take some time." Pierce wiped the cold sweat from his head and said with an embarrassed expression.
Ivan shook his head helplessly, "Use your mind, Pierce, from another angle, this matter is actually very easy to solve."
"Don't forget, this is a very time, and an important place like Gringotts must be protected by the Ministry of Magic!" Ivan reminded.
But these greedy goblins will never give the Ministry of Magic a chance to intervene in Gringotts, unless they are in a life-and-death crisis...
Pierce frowned and wanted to retort, but after thinking about it, he quickly broke through the thinking trap of using his power to suppress people in the past.
It doesn't matter if there is no life and death crisis, they can create one, for example, find a group of fierce Death Eaters to make trouble, and beat those greedy goblins.
Only by letting them recognize their own weaknesses will they need the help of the Ministry of Magic...
"I understand what to do, Sir Hals." Pierce said very excitedly. As the incoming Minister of Magic, he certainly hopes to take the financial power back from the goblin.
Out of the trust of Pierce's ability, Ivan did not ask the details of the plan. If he can't figure out even this little thing and needs to ask himself for help, the other party doesn't need to be the Minister of Magic.
"Work hard, Pierce...oh, no, I mean Mr. Minister! Everything is to defeat the Dark Lord as soon as possible!" Ivan stood up, patted Pierce on the shoulder, and walked to the fireplace in the minister's office, grabbing A handful of Floo powder was thrown out.
The faint blue flame rose up, and Ivan's figure quickly disappeared into the flame.
Pierce, who watched Ivan leave, slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole person directly slumped on the chair.
In order to defeat the mysterious man as soon as possible?
Are you kidding me?
It's almost the same if you want to hold the devil's own weight...
The Dark Lord is miserable enough...
Pierce kept complaining in his heart, picked up the communicator placed on the table, and said. "Let the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet come over!"
...
The next day, early in the morning, in the premises of the Daily Prophet, thousands of owls carrying envelopes spread the news of the mysterious man attacking the Ministry of Magic throughout the magic world!
All the wizards who got the newspaper were shocked by the shocking news and almost regarded it as a bad Halloween joke.
After all, the Daily Prophet has been telling them that the magic world is very peaceful for more than half a year. Mysterious people do not exist at all. Everything is a joke made by Dumbledore, who took Harry Potter's dream seriously.
After more than half a year of constant brainwashing, this concept has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but today's news of the Daily Prophet has undergone a 180-degree reversal, suddenly telling them that what Dumbledore said is true and mysterious. People actually exist!
Not only that, but the cunning Dark Lord also brought a large number of Death Eaters into a surprise attack on the Ministry of Magic, causing hundreds of casualties, and even killing the Minister of Magic in public?
When seeing this news, most people's first reaction was that they couldn't believe it. However, the four pages of the Daily Prophet listed a large number of pictures as evidence.
Fragmented statues of wizard brothers, dilapidated conference halls, and atriums full of rubble remains and corpses... These pictures of truth and fiction convey the feeling of despair to everyone who reads the newspaper. In the wizard's heart, the fear in their hearts was connected.
Fifteen years ago, the mysterious man who made everyone in the magical world afraid to call his name, really returned!
...
At the same time, in Riddle's mansion, Voldemort looked at the twenty Death Eaters standing in front of him and asked angrily.
"Can anyone tell me what is going on?!"
The Death Eaters tremblingly did not dare to reply, and looked at the Daily Prophet placed in the center of the wooden table from time to time.
Snape was even more frightened in a cold sweat. Voldemort did not inform him of such an important plan in advance. This was an extremely dangerous signal... Has his identity as an undercover agent been discovered?
"Master, a momentary defeat is nothing. In fact, the plan you specified is perfect. If it weren't for a traitor, the Ministry of Magic would have been in your bag!" Fenrir Greyback cautiously replied. .
The rest of the Death Eaters also hurriedly followed to praise a few words, and by the way they scolded Lucius Malfoy and the others who were screaming.
However, what they didn't expect was that Voldemort's face became more and more gloomy under the crowd of praise ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and soon became intolerable, and he sternly said.
"Enough, just shut up!"
The noisy hall became silent in an instant, and the scorching black mark of the Dark Lord accompanied by the anger of the Dark Lord sticks to their arms like a soldering iron. The pain caused the Death Eaters to inevitably give birth to a little bit of resentment.
what is this? The Dark Lord had lost the battle this time, and he wanted to cast all his anger on their heads.
Voldemort could of course see the minds of these people under the perception of Sensation. He turned his head to look aside Peter and asked sternly as he became more annoyed in his heart. "Wormtail, tell them, what was the task I assigned to you yesterday?"
"Master, you... You asked me to sneak into the jail while the Azkaban guards were changing shifts to rescue Bella and the others..." Peter stubbornly said, his small eyes filled with horror. The color.
"What then? Did you save the man back?" Voldemort's tone became more and more severe.
"I reported to you. By the time I got there, Bella was gone. I thought... I thought it was the dementors who left the job without permission, so they found the chance to escape in advance... Antonin has always been very Smart..." Peter knelt down slightly trembling, and quickly climbed up to Voldemort, pleading. "Master, I don't know, Master..."
"So not only did you fail to complete the task, you also brought back a false message, right?" Voldemort's face was distorted to the extreme, he looked at Peter coldly, and waved his wand without hesitation.
"~ (Drill my heart and cut my bones
"Ah!!" Peter curled up in pain, rolling on the ground non-stop, shouting loudly. "Master, I don't know anything, it's Malfoy! He must have revealed our news...Master!"
Peter's sorrowful cry reverberated in the hall.
However, no matter how he defended it, Voldemort didn't waver at all, but he was even more cruel when he started, and he was kind of trying to find someone to vent his anger.
The screams continued for more than five minutes, until Peter was tortured and almost unconscious, Voldemort seemed to be bored, and he raised his wand and stopped casting the spell.
Looking at Peter, who was lying on the ground, his body still twitching unconsciously, the Death Eaters in the hall shuddered together, and there was a surge of fear in their hearts, and they all took away the thoughts that had risen in their hearts. go back.
Even if the mysterious people are down, they are also vicious and vicious black demon, who can easily take their lives.
After venting the anger accumulated in his heart fiercely, Voldemort also regained his composure, and finally opened his mouth to answer everyone's questions. "I was not the one who led the attack on the Ministry of Magic to kill Fudge yesterday morning. All of us were fooled!"
what?
Voldemort's words stunned the Death Eaters present. Fenrir looked down at the Daily Prophet on the table. On the cover of the newspaper, Voldemort led Bella, August and others into the atrium. Photo.
The red eyes, the weird snake face, the cruel methods, and the unmatched power were all signs of the Dark Lord, and Fenrir couldn't believe that it was someone else posing.
Not to mention, Voldemort once said that he would rescue Bella and others imprisoned on Halloween, so when he received the news this morning, Fenrir had no doubts at all.
On the side, Snape understood the meaning of Voldemort's words, and immediately guessed. "Master, are you saying that someone pretended to be you, rescued the Death Eaters in Azkaban ahead of time, and then took them to attack the Ministry of Magic?"
"But besides the Dark Lord, who can have such a powerful force?" Fenrir was a little puzzled, and then asked cautiously. "Could it be Dumbledore who used the compound decoction to become the master?"
Fenrir had just joined the Death Eaters shortly, and the information he knew was limited. In his mind, the only person who could contend with the Dark Lord was Dumbledore.
The thought of the famous white wizard in the magical world transforming into Voldemort's appearance, and the scene of killing at the Ministry of Magic, Fenrir felt that goose bumps all over his body were about to rise.
And if he remembers correctly, the compound decoction can't be boiled at will, it needs to be added to the deformed hair or body tissue.
Fenrir glanced at Voldemort's bald, hairless top of his head, thinking it was definitely not an easy task.
The eyes of the rest of the Death Eaters kept flickering, they knew more than Fenrir, so they quickly thought of the rumor in the magic world a few months ago.
In addition to Dumbledore, there was another person in the magical world who could rival or even surpass the Dark Lord, but watching Voldemort's gradually gloomy face, everyone wisely remained silent and did not call out that forbidden name.
Seeing that the crowd hadn't answered for a long time, Fenrir became more and more weird, and when the atmosphere gradually condensed, Snape suddenly spoke.
"Ivan Hals did it! I think he should have bought a lot of Aurors to act with him in order to conquer the Ministry of Magic so easily."
"As for the compound decoction, you may not know that Ivan Hals improved this potion when he was in the third grade, so he must have mastered how to make potions without specific body tissues. ." Snape casually made up nonsense, almost perfectly covering up this embarrassing topic for the Dark Lord.
Looking at Snape who was lying for him, Voldemort couldn't help feeling a little moved for a while, and when he was so down, only Snape was as caring as before.
This is the truly competent Death Eater!
Voldemort looked at Snape and then at the thoughtful Death Eaters, becoming more and more disgusted with them.
Under Voldemort's blade-like gaze, Fenrir and others shuddered one after another, and one of the Death Eaters hurriedly said flatteringly.
"Master, no matter why Ivan Hals attacked the Ministry of Magic, in their current form, they have obviously failed..."
"Failed?" Voldemort sneered, and the anger that had been suppressed rose again, saying word by word. "No, I'm afraid they have succeeded!"
success? Snape's heart moved. Is the other party's purpose to kill all the Death Eaters?
No, it can't be that simple. If you want to kill someone, you can do it in Azkaban. There is no need to go to the Ministry of Magic and add unnecessary risks.
Thinking of this, Snape couldn't help but turn his gaze to the Daily Prophet. He thought of the reports above several times. When the "Dark Lord" was about to conquer the Ministry of Magic, the current executive director Pierce was like a savior. A large number of people arrived and rescued more than 30 high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Magic.
According to the Prophet's Daily, the executive director was notified by Lucius Malfoy before he made full preparations.
But now I think about this incident is a bit too coincidental, coincidentally like a grand stage play... Someone plays the devil deliberately to create panic and disaster, only to pave the way for the last brave to appear...
"Could it be that Pierce is theirs? Ivan Hals's purpose is to control the entire Ministry of Magic?" Snape realized this immediately, and a chill came from the soles of his feet and said with a shocked expression.
All this is a game, no wonder the opponent wants to take someone to attack the Ministry of Magic, no wonder Minister Fudge will die tragically on the spot, because the opponent's initial plan is to recommend Pierce to the stage!
"Only this is possible!"
Voldemort's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said, his body faintly exuded a terrifying pressure, and his whole body was going to explode.
He couldn't accept his most loyal seventy-one subordinates, so all of them were in the Ministry of Magic!
Not only that, but the other party also controlled the Ministry of Magic backhand, and by the way exposed his existence... it directly destroyed all his plans in advance!
According to his expectation, ~www.mtlnovel.com~ does not intend to reveal his whereabouts in the near future.
Because of this, he did not commit suicide in Azkaban to rescue Bella and others. Instead, he asked Peter Pettigrew to take advantage of the change of guards and Azkaban's defense was the most empty. The Magus form sneaked in and then led people to kill from the inside.
With so much effort, I hope that the Ministry of Magic can attribute this large-scale escape to the negligence of the guards and the riots of the dementors...
Only in this way can he sit firmly behind the scenes, hide his whereabouts, provoke the Ministry of Magic and Ivan Hals to fight against each other, and reap the benefits of the fisherman.
However, when he woke up this morning, he found that everything had changed. From a conspirator behind the scenes, he was reduced to a rat hiding in the ground.
Now that the entire magical world knew of his existence, maybe the Ministry of Magic had sent people around to search for him.
Although those Aurors weren't dangerous to him, these people were Ivan Hals' eyes. If the Aurors found out when they were out, they would definitely kill them as soon as possible.
Voldemort thought about the battle a few months ago, and there was a trace of fear and confusion in his eyes.
He didn't understand why things suddenly became like this.
I have endured humiliation for more than a decade, and spent all my hardships to return to the world. I should have shown my ambitions to dominate the magical world. It was definitely not the only way I could only shrink in this room like I am now.
Could it be that there was a problem with the way he was resurrected, and he was beaten up by an imp if he could not restore his full strength?
Voldemort deceived himself and thought, but he was very clear in his heart that he will only be stronger now than he was 15 years ago!
