Chapter 1145 Connelly’s Nightmare

Cornelius Fudge is having a long, long nightmare.

In his dream, he received a snarling letter from Dumbledore on his bedroom bed.

Of course, Fudge soon discovered that the Howler Letter was not a bad thing, and that red letter opened his eyes to the opportunity to become the greatest Minister of Magic the wizarding world has ever seen. Without hesitating for too long, he and Scrimgeour summoned the Aurors and rushed to the distant Armenian forest.

On the way to Armenia, the British Ministry of Magic was like a torch in the night, constantly attracting other ministries of magic to join.

Until here, the dream is still full of hope and happiness.

When did it start to go wrong?

Maybe it was the scene of werewolves struggling in the water prison, or maybe it was Lockhart's annoying smiling face. Of course, none of these were more terrifying than the news that the Ministry of Magic was attacked, or the speculation about the identities of those dark wizards. .

Logically speaking, you should wake up from the nightmare at this time... But in the middle of the dream, it seems to be getting better?

Under his persuasion, the Fairy Queen of Gringotts decided to violate her ancestral precepts and stand unequivocally on the side of the magical government against the dark wizards.

The Goblin of Gringotts finally succumbed to reality and began to obey orders and serve the Ministry of Magic. This was obviously a more milestone event than the large-scale annihilation of werewolves. He walked through the vault of the Gringotts Wizarding Bank and even began to think about what if the Goblin When he was asked to cast a life-size gold statue for him, how should he respond in a way that would not hurt the goblin's feelings, but also express the image of a great Minister of Magic, and then...

The nightmare finally tore off its disguise completely, revealing its sharp fangs and pounced on like a man-eating beast!

…………

Istanbul, Turkish Ministry of Magic Hall.

Cornelius Fudge stood in the rubble-like corridor, staring blankly into the air.

After a while, he had to accept the reality. The green "Magic Mark" represented only one thing, and that was the terror that lingered over the British wizarding world more than ten years ago. Voldemort and his Death Eaters would appear after every crime. The evil magic performed on the spot - the Dark Mark.

"That man...is he really back? Mr. Fudge?"

Emilia Bones's voice was trembling slightly, as if she was in the snowy forest in winter.

"I-I don't know-uh-I mean, the Dark Mark is You-Know-Who's symbol--but it's not You-Know-Who-"

Cornelius Fudge slurred, looking around as if expecting someone to tell him what to do.

"I mean... after the mysterious man disappeared, there were still Death Eaters who would use it - in short - I suggest it is best to find out the situation first. It may be too early to make a rash conclusion now - Even if a war breaks out, we have to know who it is, right?"

He added in a voice that was almost a whimper, looking at the remains of the walls on the floor around him, looking extremely nervous.

Around the Aurors of the British Ministry of Magic, magical government officials from most of Europe gathered.

There is no doubt that everyone present now knows what the "Dark Mark" means. Cornelius Fudge wanted to loudly order all Aurors to stop answering the foreign wizards' increasingly sharp questions to avoid spreading panic, but he Now it seems that it is difficult to protect oneself...

Not far away, Atif, the director of the Auror Office of the Turkish Ministry of Magic, walked over with a gloomy look.

Behind the other party, there are the Minister of Magic of Turkey, the Director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement...

Dozens of wizards approached with some kind of suppressed anger that was almost visible to the naked eye, and from time to time there were sounds of wizards appearing around.

Even though some of them were still wearing pajamas and slippers, which looked quite ridiculous, Cornelius Fudge couldn't find any room to laugh now. He knew very well what topic was going to happen next. And every one of them is a nightmare that he doesn't want to admit.

"It looks like there's nothing left to say. Voldemort and his henchmen raid the Turkish Ministry of Magic - and war breaks out!"

There seemed to be a fire hidden in the Turkish Minister of Magic's throat, and he said in a roaring tone, "I heard that Dumbledore had issued a warning. He must know something - oh no - you British must have known something in advance - —I want information to be shared—Mr. Cornelius Fudge, you—you, the British wizarding community, must tell us clearly—that bastard named Voldemort—what’s going on?”

"We don't call it that... You-Know-Who, oh my god, well, I want to figure out what's going on too!"

Cornelius Fudge shook uncomfortably, waved his right hand in annoyance, and answered breathlessly.

"But - here - I - we still have to -"

"After the dark wizards who broke into the Ministry of Magic of various countries are completely expelled, the number of casualties is counted, and the information is compiled, we will sit down and talk about this matter."

Amelia Bones' monocle reflected a ray of light, and she said in a cold voice, like a blade cutting in.

"I hope you still remember your previous promise. The Turkish Ministry of Magic is by no means the only government that was hurt tonight. Although we still don't know the purpose of those dark wizards, it is impossible for them to launch such a horrific attack just to attack Magical Government Demonstration - Our top priority now is to re-establish the functioning of the magical governments of various countries and rekindle the Floo Network, rather than blame each other here."

"Casualties—what casualties?!"

Atif, the director of the Turkish Auror Office, turned around sharply and stared at Bones with wide eyes.

"The Dark Mark, this is not a mark like Grindelwald's to promote his ideals. It is scary for a reason——"

Ms. Bones looked calm, standing next to Cornelius Fudge and looking around, then she raised her finger and pointed at the Dark Mark above.

The bright green pattern of a skull and a snake still hung in the air, and some Aurors from the Turkish Ministry of Magic were using various magic to try to eliminate it.

"Whenever a Death Eater or Voldemort kills someone, they leave the Dark Mark on the body or on the house. Think about it, when you come home from get off work one day and find the Dark Mark floating over your house ..." Bones pursed his lips tightly, as if remembering some bad memory.

"So, those guys would leave this mark after killing people who don't agree with their ideals?"

"Inconsistent ideas? Oh, no, no, no—"

At this moment, Cornelius Fudge shook his head and corrected him solemnly.

"Mysterious people and Death Eaters don't have many warnings before killing people. Many of them are dangerous people who enjoy killing and torturing people. I have tried many Death Eaters in the past. They brutally kill a person, more often than not because of The other person has Muggle blood or likes Muggles."

He looked at Ms. Bones, then at the Dark Mark and the surrounding environment, and his voice became more serious and terrifying.

"The Dark Mark must be accompanied by corpses. If there are no dead people, it means they are preparing to commit murder."

"Okay, I finally understand. It seems that we are being targeted by a group of lunatics."

Atif raised his eyebrows, glanced at the mark in the sky with a gloomy look, then turned around and gave instructions to the two wizards behind him.

"Podak, Laev... search each floor one by one, as well as the streets around the Ministry of Magic, to see if there are any unfortunate victims. You two will temporarily leave the team and stay in the Ministry of Magic to count the number of people. No matter what method you use, tomorrow Contact everyone at the Ministry of Magic within a few seconds."

"The Ministry of Magic will be in charge of you, Minister. We should follow our previous plan and set off again after gathering at Gringotts -"

All the Aurors nodded solemnly and apparated out of the hall of the Turkish Ministry of Magic.

The Turkish Ministry of Magic was only the second magical government they had recovered tonight.

Compared with the Armenian side, this place is obviously more tragic and chaotic, which undoubtedly aggravates the worries of many wizards...

After all, judging from the information currently available, the closer the wizarding world is to the British wizarding world, the more likely it is that a larger number of Death Eaters will gather. It is not necessarily a good thing that there is no encounter, because then they will not be able to fight during the day tomorrow. The situation of public opinion will only become more difficult.

Fortunately, compared to the British wizarding community, other magical governments are now in a slightly more relaxed mood.

Even if Voldemort and the Death Eaters come back, the British wizarding community will be the first to bear the brunt.

And Cornelius Fudge is obviously aware of this. According to the power displayed by the "Death Eaters" today, if Voldemort gathers his strength to "annihilate" the British Ministry of Magic, even if their current number of Aurors doubles, It seems that there is still not enough to see.

Maybe... they have to start looking for more reinforcements...
