Chapter 918 Stalemate

Rolf smiled bitterly to himself. He was just out to capture Thunderbirds. He thought it was just an ordinary capture mission, but ended up having an inexplicable fight with Grindelwald, and now he was forced to fall out with the French Ministry of Magic. This is too unlucky...

"Then it seems that you are determined to go against all the wizards in France?" the French minister sternly scolded.

Bruno and the other Aurors pulled out the wand directly...

Seeing that the battle was about to start, a smile appeared on Ellis's face, and he looked at everything in front of him playfully.

However, at this moment, the closed door was opened.

The sudden sound of pushing the door made the smell of gunpowder in the room fade away. The French minister turned his head in annoyance and glared at the Auror who rashly opened the door and came in. He had clearly ordered not to disturb them at this time.

"Your Excellency, the British Minister of Magic, Pierce, and Director Connell of the International Confederation of Wizards are looking for you... They said they have very urgent matters and they need to meet with you now!" The Auror who entered the door replied cautiously. road.

The French minister frowned and glanced at Ivan and Rolf suspiciously. He didn't believe there could be such a coincidence, so the other party must be targeting these two people.

"Take them to the living room...and tell them that I have important things to deal with now!" The French minister immediately made a decision, intending to force Ivan and others to submit first, and then wait until the evidence is obtained and everything is settled.

But they were already outside the door... The Auror opened his mouth, and just as he was about to open his mouth, the door to the office was pushed open again!

"Old friend, long time no see!" Pierce, who walked in quickly, greeted him cheerfully, completely ignoring the ugly expression on the French minister's face, and extended his hand warmly.

"Long time no see, Pierce, Director Conor." The French minister smiled reluctantly, shook hands with Pierce reluctantly, and at the same time gave the Auror a sharp look.

The latter was very helpless. Both Pierce and Conor were high-ranking figures, and no one dared to offend them. These two brought people in under the guise of discussing important matters, and he and others simply couldn't do it. Can't stop it.

"By the way, why didn't you tell me in advance when you came so that I could arrange my time? Now I still have very important things to deal with..." the French minister tactfully declined.

"That's just right, we also have important things to discuss with you..." Pierce took over the conversation with a slap in the face, and then said in surprise as if he had just seen Ivan and others. "Hals, why are you here?"

"Minister Pierce, this is what happened." Ivan replied calmly. "When Rolf and I were capturing Thunderbirds, we accidentally discovered Grindelwald and followed him into the teacher's tomb. Later, some accidents occurred during the battle, which caused us to be teleported to There were a lot of riots over the city of Paris..."

Ivan explained what happened concisely and clearly, and he was not worried that Pierce would not understand.

Because long before the conversation with the French minister, he had already used the magic mark to pass on what happened here to Pierce, so the other party brought people there by such a coincidence.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Minister, it seems that our people have caused you some... little trouble!" Pierce glanced at the French minister apologetically, then changed his tone and spoke again.

"But when it comes to Grindelwald, I think Sir Hals and Mr. Scamander have done a good enough job. We can't ignore their achievements just because of an uncontrollable accident!"

"Of course, if you are unable to deal with the riots in Paris and need some reinforcements, the British wizards will be happy to help!" Pierce suggested enthusiastically.

"No need, we can handle it ourselves!" The French minister had a dark face and bluntly rejected Pierce's proposal. No matter how difficult it was, they would never let the British wizards laugh!

"As long as you can handle it, if that's the case, let's go back first!" Pierce waved to the two of Ivan and took them away.

"Wait!" The French minister was not fooled by Pierce after all, and stopped Ivan and others. "Besides that commotion, there is another important thing that they haven't been able to explain clearly. As far as we know, Grindelwald entered the tomb to obtain a treasure, and I now suspect that this thing is on their possession. "

"This is absolutely impossible! Your Excellency, Minister, you must have misunderstood!" Pierce shook his head, looked at Ivan, and said. "In fact, Mr. Hals is the proud disciple of Master Nico Flamel. He has no reason to steal any treasures in the tomb."

"Really? Why don't I know when Master Nico Flamel accepted a new student? Who can prove this?" the French minister asked questioningly.

"I can prove it! The late Principal Dumbledore once talked to me about this matter. I can vouch for Hals's identity!" Pierce said with certainty, and then looked at Conor who was standing aside. "Director Conor, what do you think?"

"Well, I also heard this matter mentioned by the president of the Federation. He is a good friend of Master Flamel." Conor responded concisely and clearly.

Ivan looked at Conor in surprise. In fact, the director of the Magic Congress of North America suddenly appeared here and went out of his way to speak for him. This was beyond his expectation.

Others didn't know, but Ivan knew very well that in order to prevent Voldemort from finding the location of the safe house based on him, Nico Flamel did not reveal the matter of recruiting disciples.

Therefore, except for the dead Dumbledore, no one else knew this information, which was why he did not explain his identity just now.

As for presenting the Philosopher's Stone as proof, it's even more impossible. If the French minister were to say that he stole the Philosopher's Stone from the tomb, then he would have no excuse.

The French minister's face was uncertain. Although he had not yet determined whether Pierce and Conor's words were true or false, he could tell that these two people were determined to protect Ivan Hals.

That's all for being British. Coupled with the joint pressure from North America and the International Federation of Wizards, even if he is the French Minister of Magic, he needs to think carefully.

Just when the situation reached a stalemate, a female Auror standing at the back of the crowd secretly raised her hand and pointed the wand hidden in her sleeve at Ivan Hals...

But before he could cast the spell, he was stopped by a hand stretched out from the side.
