Chapter 917 Conflict

After listening to Ivan's words, the French minister immediately turned to look at the Auror, seeking his opinion.

"It's possible that our people found traces of the battle there." The Auror replied truthfully.

"In that case, let's just treat it like this..." The French minister nodded.

Ivan is very dissatisfied, this is obviously a fact!

"Then let's get down to business!" The French minister easily ignored this, cleared his throat, and said solemnly. "More than a month ago, one of my subordinates discovered that Grindelwald was operating in France. According to the confessions of the captured believers, Grindelwald came here to find a very special treasure..."

While speaking, the French minister carefully paid attention to the faces of the two people, trying to see something from them.

With a thought in his mind, Ivan understood that the other party was talking about the Resurrection Stone, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he looked completely unaware.

Rolf on the side also pretended to be decent. He has traveled around the world with his father in the past few years, dealing with all kinds of people, and his expression is very natural.

The French minister stared at the two men for a long time, but could not see panic or guilt on their faces. However, he also understood that the two wizards in front of him were extraordinary and wanted to dig out their mouths. The truth may not be that easy.

Thinking of this, the French minister winked at Bruno, then looked at Ivan and others and said sternly. "I don't know what treasure Grindelwald is looking for, but no matter what it is, it should be the collection of Master Nicolas Flamel, and it should also be something that belongs to all of France!"

"Anyone who dares to hide it secretly is working against all French wizards!"

"Let me ask you one last time, apart from the two coffins, did you bring anything else out of the tomb?" the French minister asked seriously, with a very tough attitude.

Grindelwald came all the way to France, and what he was searching for must be an incredible treasure. As the French Minister of Magic, he would never allow such a thing to be taken out of the country, no matter if it was Grindelwald. Waugh or anyone else...

"Unfortunately, Mr. Minister, we don't know what this treasure is, or you can ask Grindelwald if he took it away..." Ivan said with a hint of sarcasm.

He didn't intend to hand over the Resurrection Stone that he finally grabbed to the other party. What was the difference between that and giving it directly to Grindelwald?

You must know that even the North American Ministry of Magic, which is recognized as having the strongest overall strength, Grindelwald can come and go with ease, let alone the French Ministry of Magic!

Moreover, the Resurrection Stone has never been a French thing, nor does it belong to Nico Flamel. According to legend, it is a British sacred artifact, and it was previously an heirloom of the British Gaunt family...

It's just that Ivan didn't bother to explain, because the Minister of Magic in front of him had decided to keep "Nicolas Flamel's relics" in France, and would probably ignore the so-called British legend.

Rolf on the side was not as calm as Ivan. He was keenly aware that there were more and more Aurors in the room, and they were vaguely surrounded from all directions.

What's more important is that this is the headquarters of magic. Who knows how many kinds of protective magic are deployed. If there is a conflict, Ivan Hals may be able to escape safely, but he will most likely be arrested.

The atmosphere on the court suddenly became very solemn, and Bruno and others also seemed nervous. Compared to the minister, he really saw the strength of Ivan Hals.

Even though they now have more people and a geographical advantage, he is not 100% sure that he can subdue the opponent.

"Since you insist that you did not take anything from Nicolas Flamel's tomb, then I will believe your words, but I also need to give an explanation to the French wizards!" the French minister said slowly. .

"What are you going to let us do?" Rolf asked.

"It's very simple, just prove that what you are telling the truth is enough!" the French minister emphasized. "Of course, our people must prove it!"

prove? Ivan paused for a moment, then understood what the other party meant and said indifferently. "Do you want to search our bodies, or simply search our memories?"

"Of course it's memory. This is the fastest and safest way!" the French minister said solemnly.

No one knows what the treasure looks like. It could be something ordinary like a bracelet or a pendant. The wizard's methods are all kinds of weird, so a search might miss the thing.

In addition, Ivan and Rolf stayed in Paris for a period of time before, so it is entirely possible that they hid things temporarily.

Only verifying the memory is the safest move!

Although the memory of a wizard can be changed, only a few people can master Legilimency and Occlumency. This is a magic that relies purely on talent. The probability that the two people in front of you are both Legilimency masters is infinitely close to zero.

While several people were talking, a young Auror in his thirties walked out of the crowd.

The French minister then looked at the man and spoke. "Please allow me to introduce you. This is Mr. Ellis, an excellent Legilimens who has served in the Ministry for ten years. It was he who first discovered the whereabouts of Grindelwald's followers, and the Ministry of Magic was able to grasp these people. trends...you can completely trust his professional ethics."

Hearing this, Rolf was forced to remain calm on his face, but he was beginning to panic in his heart. He tried his best to avoid looking at the young Auror, and used his eyes to signal Ivan to think of a solution quickly.

Ivan signaled Rolf to be calm, and then he looked at Iris. At the first glance, he saw that this was a very special wizard. He was very handsome, but his face looked a little pale. scary...

The most important thing is that he cannot sense any emotional fluctuations from the other party. It is obvious that the other party has extremely high attainments in Occlumency.

"Sorry, Mr. Minister, I have always believed that memory is the most private thing for wizards, so unfortunately, I can only refuse your proposal." Ivan said slowly. He was not afraid of having his memory searched, but Rolf was not. Likewise, once you are caught in Legilimency, your secret will most likely be revealed.

"Then can I think that you have indeed stolen the treasures in the tomb, so you are afraid to prove it to us?" The French minister asked aggressively, and the Aurors around him also pressed their hands on their wands.

"No wizard is willing to show his memory to a stranger. If you insist on slandering me, then there is nothing I can do..." Ivan's tone became very unkind, and he gave Rolf a warning A look that made him ready to run away at any time.
