Chapter 919 Are You Sure You Can Defeat Grindelwald?
The female Auror was startled at first. After turning her head and seeing the person, her nervousness relaxed, and then she seemed a little unwilling.
Ellis shook his head imperceptibly, indicating to the other party that now was not a good time to take action.
This little episode did not attract the attention of others present. Under the joint pressure of Pierce and Conor, the French minister no longer had the tough attitude before, but still gritted his teeth and insisted on searching Ivan and others. , to prove that they did not take any treasures from the tomb.
Pierce naturally refuted the other party's rude request without hesitation, and emphasized that they should not treat the two heroes who dared to fight Grindelwald so harshly!
After a fierce debate, the French minister reluctantly chose to release them. Without definite evidence, he really had no reason to force Ivan and Rolf to stay.
It's not worth it to fight against the British and North American Ministry of Magic at the same time for a possible treasure.
"Now that the matter is clear, let's leave first, Mr. Minister." Seeing that the other party finally gave in, Ivan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was not willing to use violence to solve the problem unless necessary.
Although with his strength he could beat up all these people and force them to admit their mistakes, but once he did it, it would be a pleasure, and there would definitely be endless troubles.
After all, this was different from the time in England. The reason why he dared to kill Fudge in public was that he used Voldemort's identity on the one hand, and on the other hand he planned in advance, controlled the media, and gained nearly half of the pure-blood family. The recognition, coupled with the betrayal of Pierce, the executive director, minimized the impact.
France is a magical country no matter what. Simply relying on strength cannot make them surrender. It will only arouse stronger resistance. Otherwise, the minister would have surrendered to Grindelwald long ago. How could he send people everywhere to arrest the other party's believers? .
If he acts recklessly this time and goes against the French Ministry of Magic, and even triggers a wizarding war between Britain and France, then Grindelwald may not be able to wake up from his dreams at night laughing...
All the way out of the door of the Ministry of Magic, Ivan turned back to look at Conor and said something. "Thank you for your assistance, Director Conall."
"I just told a few truths. Even without me, I believe Mr. Hals can solve this little trouble by himself." Conor said with a smile, seeming to have forgotten the unpleasantness last time. At the back of his mind, after a brief exchange of pleasantries, he brought the topic down to business.
"The intelligence officers I sent to France received some very strange information. There is news that Grindelwald's image has changed so much recently that the Aurors almost thought they had recognized the wrong person."
"Your information is correct. When I met Grindelwald this time, he had completely returned to his youthful appearance, and his strength is probably even more difficult than before!" Ivan said very cautiously.
After receiving Ivan's confirmation, Conor's face suddenly became very ugly, but he still forced himself to look at Ivan calmly and asked.
"The question is how did he do this? I remember that the report submitted by Minister Pierce to the International Federation of Wizards said that during the battle with Voldemort, Grindelwald was possessed by an extremely difficult black magic. His condition must be extremely bad now..."
"It's very simple, as long as you die once, that's enough, right?" Ivan murmured to himself.
"Death...once?" Conor was stunned for a moment. At first he didn't quite understand Ivan's words, but then he quickly realized something and immediately took a breath. In his impression, only the most evil Only the kind of black magic can reverse life and death.
"This is the only way to explain Grindelwald's strange situation." Ivan said with a slight headache. When he learned that the other party had captured the North American vice president, he suspected that Grindelwald might use his relationship with Voldemort to Resurrect once in the same way to get rid of the trouble of being corrupted by black magic.
This also means that the other party has probably made a Horcrux!
Just defeating Grindelwald is already difficult, but now there is an additional prerequisite, which is to find and destroy the Horcrux that is hidden somewhere.
Conor was even more deeply worried. He knew that the power of the North American Ministry of Magic alone might not be able to compete with Grindelwald.
"Are you sure you can defeat Grindelwald?" Conor asked thoughtfully.
"It's difficult, and even if Grindelwald is defeated, no one can stop him, unless he finds a place where apparation cannot be used!" Ivan shook his head and said directly.
Conor nodded, not too surprised. At Ivan's age, if he was confident enough to defeat Grindelwald, that would be a jaw-dropping thing.
However, judging from the fact that Ivan broke into Nicolas Flamel's tomb this time and escaped unharmed from the fight with Grindelwald, even if his strength is not as good, it is probably not far behind. He is the only one who can compete with Grindelwald now. Confronting wizards.
It is precisely because he understood this that after Conor learned that Ivan was being made things difficult for the French Ministry of Magic, he hurried over to show his goodwill to make up for the previous unhappiness between the two...
Faced with Conor's proactive overture, Ivan naturally accepted it readily. With a formidable enemy like Grindelwald, if there was a gap between them, the opponent would only find opportunities to defeat them one by one.
After some discussions, North America and the British Ministry of Magic reached a preliminary agreement. The two parties disclosed the latest information about Grindelwald to each other and cooperated to fight against this powerful dark wizard.
And Ivan also received a guarantee from Conor that if there were any major operations that required him to personally take action, the International Federation of Wizards would grant him the status of the highest executive officer in this mission, except for a few senior officials above the director level. In addition, all wizards will obey his orders when necessary.
Of course, this power can only be used against Grindelwald. If Ivan orders them to do something illegal, these Aurors will definitely not obey the order.
After discussing the general framework of the cooperation, Conor left in a hurry. In order to win over Ivan, he was forced to agree to many harsh conditions and needed to report to his superiors.
When Conor walked away, Ivan suddenly remembered something, turned to look at Pierce, and asked. "Who was the wizard named Iris just now? Is there any information about him in England?"
When he was in the minister's office before, he felt that something was not right about Alice, and Ivan could even vaguely smell a dangerous aura from him.
This was one of the reasons why he didn't take action at the Ministry of Magic rashly.
