Chapter 175 Angry Churchill
Listening to Tolian's words, Pierce fell into silence.
Seeing that Pierce didn't respond for a long time, Torian was a little anxious: "Let's not worry about what happens next, I'm not safe here! You should immediately inform Minister Leonard that the Knights of the Round Table plan to attack the Welfare family.
At the same time, the Welfare family was notified to protect the young master of the Welfare family outside the old house. The Floo Network Management Office has sent people to Leicestershire, and some Knights of the Round Table should also be dispatched. If it is later, it will be too late! "
Only then did Pierce come back to his senses: "Oh, okay...I'll go now!"
Seeing Pierce's response, Torian nodded and exchanged a few simple greetings, told Pierce to pay attention to safety, and then cut off contact.
Seeing Torian cut off contact, Pierce once again sprinkled a handful of Floo powder, and then quickly left the dilapidated bell tower without looking back. Shortly after Pierce left, a ghost flame ignited in the ashes and jumped a few times. Then the flames died out.
Leaving the clock tower, Pierce quickly used Apparition and soon appeared in a dark and damp alley in London.
Pierce walked quickly on the streets of London. On the streets, there were two or three teams of Scotland Yard security guards busy cleaning up the ruins left by the air raid. At this time, London had basically been bombed to pieces.
The once bustling metropolis was now in ruins. Many homeless people were sitting or standing in the shadows. Their expressions were dull, numb, and lacked vitality. All of them were unkempt and had dirty clothes on their bodies. Covered in blood.
This is the cruelty of war. The reality is definitely not like what the Churchill government advertised. All British people are high-spirited, sharpen their knives, and are not afraid of death. Few people even believe that the British government can withstand it.
Looking at the scene in front of him that was like purgatory on earth, Pierce didn't make any pause. He had seen this cruel scene many times. Although he couldn't bear it, he couldn't help these Muggles. In Pierce's opinion, the magical world at this time was no better than Muggles. How much better the world is.
Pierce walked quickly, crossed the Thames River, and passed the Palace of Westminster. Because there was a fight between Muggle gangs in front of him, Pierce could only take a detour to St. James' Park, which took a long time to get here. destination.
The British government's temporary wartime office area between St. James's Park and the Palace of Westminster was later known as Churchill's Wartime Office.
Pierce did not enter through the main entrance, but went around to the north fork, where there was a red public phone box that had been deformed by rubble.
There are many such public telephone booths on the streets of London. Public telephone booths began to be popular in London as early as around 1921, so Pierce blatantly walked into a telephone booth without attracting attention.
It looks like an ordinary phone booth, but it is actually a secret entrance to Churchill's wartime office, an entrance specially designed to entertain VIPs. Of course, the so-called VIPs refer to wizards.
It was also the first time for Pierce to come here. Originally, Pierce thought that he would not come here for a long time, but he did not expect that he would need to use this secret passage in just one month.
About ten meters underground, in a slightly dimly lit office, a bald middle-aged fat man with a sad face smoked a cigar and looked angrily at the man across the desk.
"Leonard, it's very rude to barge in quietly!"
"Winston, forgive me for coming uninvited. If something big had not happened, I would not have used this secret stronghold to meet with my men..."
Winston Churchill was obviously even more sullen: "What? You broke in quietly just to use my place to meet with your men?!
I'm so busy that I don't have time to care about you freaks. Even if I wanted to, I don't have the ability, four times! Four air raids a day...those German planes are as annoying as flies! And you don’t have to give in too much! "
Churchill's words were very unpleasant to listen to. Leonard could only smile awkwardly in the face of Churchill's rage. Leonard knew that if Churchill hadn't still carried the baggage of being an idol of a British gentleman, he would have whipped him with the cane of civilization at this time.
"I promise this is the last time..."
As Leonard was talking, there was a noise in the fireplace behind Churchill. Churchill frowned, stood up and stood aside.
He knew this noise very well, another freak was coming.
Sure enough, before Churchill's thoughts could stop, he saw a somewhat deformed telephone booth emerging from the fireplace in an extremely magical way and floating on the desk. A man with a dusty face and a hideous scar on his face walked out of the telephone booth and stepped on The desk fell to the floor.
As soon as the man landed, the phone booth slipped into the fireplace again. For a moment, Churchill felt that the phone booth was not made of iron, but made of jelly.
"You stepped on my table!" Churchill said angrily, and Leonard could clearly see that Churchill's temples were swollen.
Pierce ignored Churchill. In his opinion, the fat Muggle man in front of him was really noisy.
Ignoring Churchill's anger, Pierce looked at Leonard: "Mr. Minister, Torian contacted me..."
Pierce told the story exactly as it was, and Leonard gradually became serious as he listened to Pierce's report.
Churchill on the side saw his old friend showing such a solemn expression. He stopped taking responsibility and poured a cup of coffee for Leonard and placed it in front of his eyes. As for Pierce... Haha, I'm sorry, who are you?
After listening to Pierce's report, Leonard couldn't help but smashed the desk in front of him with his fist and shouted angrily: "Are they crazy!? The biggest mistake I made was joining the Knights of the Round Table when I was young...
That guy with the blond hair is simply a lunatic! If something goes wrong with the Welfare family, the economy of the entire magical world will be shaken, and they want to imprison the young master of the Welfare family! ?
Doesn't he know that the child's godfather is Grindelwald? If the Welfare family is really pushed into a corner and turns to Grindelwald completely, then all of us will be doomed!
Although I am very dissatisfied with the Welfare family for secretly funding Grindelwald, I still won’t break up with the Welfare family. Even if the old Marquis has an accident, it won’t come to this!
I shouldn't have agreed to help him put pressure on the welfare family and seize the monitoring rights of the Floo network. Now I have to be monitored by him, and I have to come to the Prime Minister's Office to meet you! "
"Mr. Minister, the most urgent thing right now is that the blond king has taken people to Leicestershire. They are likely to embarrass the young master in that wealthy businessman's old house, and even... with the blond king's madness, it is not ruled out that he will directly capture the young master. , imprison him!" Pierce was a little anxious.
"That old house in Leicestershire again!? Are you sure the little guy from the Welfare family went in?" Leonard suddenly asked, making Pierce a little confused for a moment.
After being confused for almost half a second, Pierce nodded heavily: "It was through Floo powder. Blood Guard No. 9 purchased the place not long ago and arranged for someone to link the coordinates there."
"Impossible!" Leonard snapped: "As early as half a month ago, wizards were banned from entering and exiting the old house. A strange field appeared there, similar to the activated 'Magic Realm'. Exclusion illegally entered the wizard.
There was absolutely no way that Blood Guard No. 9 had purchased that house some time ago, she couldn't get in at all! It is also impossible to build coordinate links!
The magic power of that mysterious field cannot be entered even with a lot of efforts at the half-step realm breaking level! Even if you go in, your strength will be greatly affected, and you can only use less than 30% of your ability! "
