Chapter 1004 The Beginning of a New Era (3)

"That's not bad." Ivan nodded. It doesn't matter if the effect is weaker, the most important thing is that it is risk-free!

This means that you can use it directly as a bargaining chip now...

"By the way, President Hals, where is Grindelwald... have you caught that demon?" Horace Slughorn suddenly remembered the demon who captured them and hurriedly asked.

"Don't worry about that, he's dead!" Ivan responded succinctly.

"Dead?! Are you sure?" Slughorn asked in surprise, and the other potion masters also couldn't believe it.

Given their age, they have naturally experienced the catastrophe of more than fifty years, and have a deep understanding of Grindelwald's power and cunning. Now that they suddenly learned of the other party's death, it felt like a dream.

This time, before Ivan could speak, Walker on the side shouted. "President Hals killed him in a duel of honor! Grindelwald's body is now in the Department of Mysteries..."

Slughorn and the others looked at each other with horror in their eyes. They all knew the meaning of the Honor Duel, which meant that Ivan killed Grindelwald in a one-on-one battle!

But...how is this possible?

Slughorn was shocked. They were imprisoned in the French Ministry of Magic more than half a year ago, so they did not know that Ivan had defeated Grindelwald in the Magic Capitol.

Before, they learned from the Aurors who came to rescue that a sixteen or seventeen-year-old kid had become the acting president of the International Federation of Wizards, which was enough to surprise them. Now they suddenly learned that the other party could kill Grindelwald. , was even more shocked.

Just when Slughorn couldn't wait to continue asking for details, a female Auror hurriedly ran in from the door, interrupting the conversation of several people.

"What, what happened?" Ivan paused, looked at the female Auror, and asked in confusion.

"It was the information sent by Mr. Colin Morton. They were betrayed by several Auror colleagues during the mission. These people, together with more than thirty saints, kidnapped the President and were confronting our people. At the Elysee Palace. In addition, Muggle troops have also been dispatched, and they are now surrounding the Palace of Versailles..." The female Auror explained the whole story very quickly.

Hearing this, Ivan's brows furrowed involuntarily, but they soon relaxed again. The more than 600 Aurors in the rapid reaction force came from all over the world and had different ideas. They wanted to have one or two It is impossible to completely conquer them within a month, and it is reasonable for a few traitors to appear.

Of course, it was not that he had not made any preparations before. For example, the plan to attack the French Ministry of Magic had always been kept secret. Only on the day of the mission would these people know what they were really going to do.

Ivan originally thought that this would stop some uninterested guys from secretly tipping off information. When the war actually started, the disparity in strength would allow the bastards with ulterior motives to see the situation clearly, but he didn't expect that someone would choose the wrong path after all. .

Ivan shook his head secretly, but he was not too worried. After solving Grindelwald, the entire magical world was already in his possession. A mere France was not taken seriously by him. No matter how bad the situation was, he would still be able to do it. save.

You must know that the alchemy device that can cover the whole city has been repaired by him. At the worst, he will brainwash all Muggles in Paris on a large scale.

"Let's go out and see the situation first!" Ivan waved his sleeves, and a burst of forest-white flames enveloped everyone present.

When Flan, Walker, and Slughorn came to their senses, they suddenly found themselves on top of a tall building, with the Palace of Versailles vaguely visible in the distance.

As for the outside, just as Walker said, it was surrounded by thousands of Muggle troops, even armored vehicles were coming, and there were more than a dozen helicopters hovering in the sky.

"These Muggles are really stupid..." Slughorn said with a sneer. The wizards in the Palace of Versailles had been notified to disapparate in advance. The so-called siege was a complete joke!

Walker glanced at Slughorn and said nothing. Now is not the time for Muggles to be stupid, but for them to think about how to solve this problem.

"Do we need to order the Aurors to disperse them?" Flan asked cautiously. Although these Muggles are not as easy to deal with as civilians because they are fully armed, if two hundred wizards are allowed to form a large circle and raise magic knots together, World, casting the Muggle Exorcism Curse can still make all these people go away.

"No, this method won't work. Now that Muggles have entered the information age, if we directly drive away these armies, the higher-up Muggles who are in charge of command will also notice something is wrong at the first time. I'd better do it in person, and it will just happen. Some people need to understand the situation." Ivan looked at the Muggle legions surrounding the Palace of Versailles and were trying to advance step by step, and said with a sneer.

Seeing this situation, Ivan understood that the French President most likely chose to side with Grindelwald on his own. This should be the real reason why Colin Morton and others failed in their mission.

However, I can take this opportunity to properly demonstrate the strength of the wizard, so that I can spend less time negotiating with Muggle leaders in the future...

"Are you going to take action to subdue these Muggles yourself?!" Walker said with both expectation and surprise.

He had always felt very regretful that he had not been able to witness the unprecedented battle between Ivan and Grindelwald with his own eyes. He did not expect to have the opportunity to see Ivan do it in person so soon.

Slughorn and other potion masters also looked at Ivan. They also wanted to know what ability the leader of the League of Nations, who killed Grindelwald, dared to boast about killing thousands of Muggles at once.

Under the gaze of dozens of pairs of eyes, Ivan took a step forward, took out the Elder Wand from his waist, raised his finger to point to the sky, and said slowly.

"wind!"

As the spell was recited, the originally dark clouded sky seemed to become even darker. The layers of dark clouds surged and twisted to form a huge tornado, as if some terrifying power was rapidly condensing in front of them... Everyone had the urge to run away.

"Take a good look, this is the power of the strongest wizard!" Fulen said proudly as he looked at the frightened Slughorn and others.
