Chapter 1402? Arrogant
Ian's bloodshot eyes were fixed on the horned snake necklace and he felt the rough necklace imprinted on his palm. He walked away quickly without looking back, and went straight back to the room specially prepared for the contestants in the International Duel Competition. Jessica is not here, anyway, she has a place to live in Hogwarts Floating City.
Ian didn't even want to eat dinner, so he sat on the sofa, staring at the horned snake necklace in his hand. Time seemed to pass very slowly, until three hours and seventeen minutes after he got the portkey, he didn't feel the portkey move, as if a hook had suddenly hooked his stomach, and he disappeared from the room.
When he reappeared, Ian, holding his wand and full of vigilance, landed in a yard surrounded by stone mosaics. After looking around, Ian began to use magic to try to judge his position, but found that he was blocked by the magic screen. covered.
"Don't be nervous, I'm here..." A gentle voice came, and the large clusters of purple violets in the courtyard garden spread out, revealing Graves standing in the yard.
"Great Gangdufushi! You're still alive!" Somewhat stunned, Ian came forward and hugged him excitedly, then looked up and down and found that the other party didn't seem to be hurt, and let out a long sigh, "You're all right That's great, and I was worried that those umbrellas might do something bad to you."
"Harris is indeed trying to catch me. We have exposed Harris' evil experiments to the eyes of the world, and they already hate me to the bone." Graves turned around and hugged Ian's shoulders half-heartedly, "Please Forgive me, in order to avoid being watched by the other party, I didn't find the opportunity to pass the news to you until now."
"This is why you have been hiding and haven't shown up?" Ian scratched his messy hair, "It's too dangerous for you to fight alone, you should contact our people in Congress..."
"Since Alan Harris dared not to take the United States seriously and burn down our city forcefully, even if our faction and even the Magic Congress come forward, I'm afraid they still can't save me." Graves has a pair of thick and black eyebrows Frowning, he said sarcastically, "And Ian, you are clear that the inside of our Magic Congress is not monolithic. Some traitors are now eager to curry favor with Britain so that they can be their servants again...they have been overwhelmed by the powerful appearance of Britain. Bewitched, I can't see anything other than wanting the British to lift our Ilvermorny into the sky..."
"You're right...you're right..." Ian was silent for a while after speaking, he squeezed his fists, and said in a deep voice, "As far as my family is concerned, not to mention Leonard, who is originally a conservative Uncle, even Jessica, who has only been in Hogwarts Floating City for so long, has changed her attitude because of the power of the Floating City..." He hesitated and said with self-reproach, "The last action...we're probably in the laboratory What potion has been broken and flowed into the sewer, we are directly responsible for the destruction of No-Maj city...I want to do something, but I'm afraid of repeating the same mistakes..."
"Don't blame yourself too much Ian, it's my fault not yours... I took it for granted, and the evil experiment that was all about exposing the umbrella led to this result. We made mistakes, but in fact maybe saved more people. How many people..." Graves gave Ian a tighter hug,
"Ian, think about it, this time we are the ones who caused such terrible consequences, but what if it was a dark wizard or even the Dark Lord? Then I am afraid that only one Muggle city will suffer."
Hearing the same rhetoric as his sister's, Ian's tense shoulders relaxed a little, and he asked in a weak voice: "Gangdu Fushi...what do you think we should do now? Are you risking my life to ask me to come out?" ..."
"We can find that... the root of all evil is not Britain itself, but the personal power of Alan Harris to throw the world out of balance...." Graves's tight jaw line, chiseled square jaw, "Germany and Bulgaria in the He has secretly led an operation before... Only a few wizards who are most opposed to Alan Harris can know..."
Ian stared at the swaying corydalis behind Graves for a while, and then he thought about what Graves meant, and suddenly the corners of his eyes twitched, and he took a breath.
"I understand what you mean, it's just... Stiff Fuchs, this kind of method is too..." Ian, as an Auror, can hardly accept such an action, "What makes us different from Britain, which doesn't care about rules?"
"I don't know how to persuade you to participate in the action itself, but Ian, I hope you can think about it..." Graves's short black hair, which was an inch long, was gathered into a tip in front of his forehead, "Ian, Alan Harris has power, right? Maybe he's the most powerful wizard in the world right now?"
"Yes, that's right, there's nothing hard to admit." Ian nodded dejectedly, "When I met him when I was younger, at least I could see the difference... Now it's not good at all, but the rigidity of Fuji , so your plan... I don't think there is any chance of success, the gap is too big..."
"Although I've heard that Alan Harris seems to be able to resist the killing curse of ordinary people... I don't know if you noticed it? I watched the duel with the Dark Lord many times before. He can atomize his head and disperse it. But the essence is to avoid the death curse of the other party... The deadly Avada cast by ordinary people on ordinary people may make him nosebleed like a student who just learned to cast it, but the death curse of the strength of the Dark Lord can't The same is scared... so he hides, and I think his reputation of being invincible is only for one-on-one situations." Graves' short black hair, which is inch-long and peaked in front of his forehead, "And Ian , that’s not the point, sometimes we have to be hopeful and do what we have to do.” He didn’t give Ian time to answer but just paused and said, “Ian, I want to ask you to let you Think about it, Alan Harris is such a powerful wizard, maybe even the most powerful wizard from ancient times to the present, but why did he let the Dark Lord escape from him repeatedly?"
Ian frowned suspiciously, and for a moment didn't understand what the other party wanted to say: "You mean, isn't it because the Dark Lord has Horcruxes that he cannot be killed?"
"Ian, you are an excellent Auror, but you still know too little about those pure-blood families." Graves smiled wryly and shook his head, "Ian, you recall memories, think carefully, those Voldemorts After being kicked out of the UK, who is in the best interest of the nature of those activities?"
After being stunned for two or three seconds, Ian's pupils instantly zoomed in: "You mean the Dark Lord belongs to Harris and his gang?"
"Whether the Dark Lord is voluntary or not, Ian..." Graves' eyes looked even sharper at this time, "But these things, aren't the Dark Lord doing evil things for Harris that are inconvenient for the righteous side to do? Ian, if you think about it carefully, since the rise of Harris, there have been various accidental deaths in the world... and these things that are bad for others are just right for Harris..."
Ian stood there in a daze, as if struck by a thunderbolt.
Graves looked at the other party's reaction with satisfaction, and he let his voice penetrate into Ian's ears: "If there is no Harris... can we return to the calm before?"
"Maybe you're right...but Gangdu Fuji, there may be a true god standing behind him..." Ian said hesitantly, "As we said just now, I don't know why you value me so much, but even if I agree Acting with you, I don't think I have a chance of success..." He pushed back his forehead hair that blocked his glasses, looking a little frustrated, "A few months ago, the United Kingdom was hostile by many countries in the world, and it was difficult to move forward. The country is willing to get rid of Harris... And now that they have created the floating city, many people must regard Allen as a treasure to protect their own national interests... Maybe our actions here have been tipped off to them... What's more, you must know that besides Grindelwald's prophetic eyes, Allen may even be a prophetic prophet..."
"Harris is indeed very treacherous, but these Germans have already thought about it, so except for the hardcore anti-Harris like me..." Graves angrily cut off a clump of purple violets beside him, watching them grow from "For most of the other players, please forgive me for being blunt...Ian, we have been showing anti-Harris intentions when we have been interacting with them and cultivating relationships, so as to judge them Whether the anti-Harris position is firm... This is why I chose to inform you of the action today, because I feel that I can trust you... Although this should have been carried out after that action, Ian, please rest assured that we We are very cautious in our actions, and for the sake of safety, only those who have gained our trust will know our specific actions a long time ago." Graves raised his resolute chin, and suddenly sneered, "Now, although Harris uses floating Empty city diplomacy bewitches those countries, and the number of people who are willing to oppose it must have dropped, but thinking about it the other way around, those who remain are the backbone.”
Ian was subdued and nodded, but he was still full of doubts: "But Fuji, what do you need me for? I mean... I mean I have some confidence in my strength, but it's only for ordinary people. In fact, your talent If you receive training, you must be better than me...even with me, I don't know how we can deal with Harris?"
"The great strength of Alan Harris made him arrogant, and it also made him agree to the rules of this duel competition that were obviously aimed at him, and we just took advantage of this." Graves smiled confidently, "The game is not forbidden to carry Equipped, and the transcription scroll service launched by his university recently is an ancient product, and it is not original to Floating Void City. Pure blood families in various countries provide similar technology... Although the production cost is not as good as their reformed cheapness, it cannot form an economy The menace on the earth, although we are more expensive to make, but the effect of use is almost the same, Ian, I need you because... I am sorry, because this will put the righteous you in the forbidden place of injustice, I know Alan. Harris seems to regard you as a friend. When the time comes, you and a few others we have selected will use the scroll to cast the spell of the master of the death curse recorded in it, and suddenly you will change to Avada, which has resisted the use of other ordinary assassins. Arrogant and relaxed Alan Harris uses... just one hit... just one hit...."
