Chapter 939 The Terrifying Resurrection Stone

Listening to the words of the Russian minister, bursts of laughter suddenly erupted in the conference room. The French minister was so angry that he almost threw the table and left...

The whole morning quickly ended in such an endless quarrel. Ivan keenly noticed that Pierce also seemed to show a lack of interest. Although he did not directly object, he did not clearly express his approval.

The only one eager to make this happen is the French Ministry of Magic...

Nearing twelve o'clock at noon, the meeting was temporarily suspended. Wilkinson set the time for the second meeting at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, and then asked the goblin attendants to take the representatives to the lounge.

"Just have a meeting in the morning today?" Ivan couldn't help but feel a little strange. Isn't this a waste of time?

Pierce shook his head, glanced at the goblin in front of him who was leading the way, and then lowered his voice to educate Ivan. It was impossible to discuss such an important issue directly at the conference and the results would be truly meaningful in the afternoon. and free time in the evening.

After all, some relatively sensitive topics can only be discussed in private. If several magical powers can reach an agreement, then tomorrow's meeting will naturally proceed smoothly... If not, then it will have to be postponed to another day.

"Although the Russian minister and the president of the Asia Society are not interested in forming a coalition, in fact they just want to use this matter as a bargaining chip in exchange of interests...

What Grindelwald did jeopardized the safety of the entire magical world, so a coalition must be formed, but things should be prioritized. The European continent is now the most severely affected. They can't wait, which means they need to come up with more. funds and assume more responsibilities...

In addition, there are many details that need to be discussed in private, such as how many manpower each country will send and who will command the army. These are all very important issues that are not convenient to discuss on the table. "

Pierce explained to Ivan in detail that after being the executive director for more than ten years, he may have average magic skills, but he is very knowledgeable about these political affairs...

So I hate politics... Ivan sighed, feeling extremely glad that he didn't become the Minister of Magic. He didn't want to waste time on these messy things.

"In the afternoon, I plan to meet with the Asian president first to see what his opinions are, and then talk to some North American representatives. Are you ready to join us?" Pierce asked.

"No, just tell me the results when you get back." Ivan shook his head and rejected Pierce's suggestion. He might as well read more books if he had this free time.

Percy on the side was in high spirits. He was at home in such a political meeting. During the time he spent in the auditorium just now, he chatted with several representatives of wizards from North Africa. Now he even volunteered to fulfill his duties. The duty of an assistant is to follow Pierce's side as a record-keeper or something.

However, Pierce was obviously not very satisfied with him, so he found a reason to arrange for Delis to replace Percy's original assistant position.

"Gentlemen, this is your room. If you have any instructions, just press that button and special personnel will come to help you..." The goblin led Ivan and others into a lounge, and then He pointed at a red button on the wall.

It is said to be a room, but in fact it looks like a house. The entire space is divided into two floors, with five bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a living room. Daily household items are also available.

After talking all morning, Pierce was a little tired. After lunch, he went back to his room to rest. Later he would have to argue with the wizard representatives.

Ivan occupied a bedroom alone, took the small suitcase from the goblin attendant, and dug out several thick books.

However, these books have little to do with magic. They are all information about the Deathly Hallows that he has collected over the past few days.

Among them are official books that are generally credible, such as the Chronicle of British Magic and Who's Who in Modern Europe, as well as many unofficial histories, novels, and even more absurd legends.

Among the information that can be found, the most mentioned is the elder bone wand. Almost every dozens or hundreds of years, a wizard will die because of this, or simply claim to have the most powerful wand, and these information After sorting it out, you can even get a fairly complete list of elder wand inheritance.

There is not much news about the invisibility cloak. After all, this sacred artifact does not change hands as frequently as the elder bone wand. It is only circulated among members of the Peverell and Potter families, and there are no invisible magic props on the market. A small number, in the eyes of ordinary people, there is nothing special, and there are very few relevant records.

The situation of the Resurrection Stone is almost the same as that of the Invisibility Cloak. Except for the fairy tale book, there is almost no relevant information. Ivan had no choice but to open the Gaunt family genealogy that Topels had obtained before, trying to find out the All the clues.

"Did the head of the family die young?" Ivan gently stroked the old parchment in front of him, looked at the names marked on it, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Judging from the information provided on this genealogy, the previous generations of the Gaunt family patriarchs seemed to have been short-lived. None of them could live beyond the age of fifty. This seemed very strange among the generally long-lived wizards. Some people even lived just now. Just one year after becoming the head of the family, he died inexplicably... as if he had been cursed.

"The cause of death is...suicide!" Ivan looked at the rows of shocking words, and a chill ran down his spine.

This is not a resurrection stone, it is simply a cursed stone!

Ivan didn't believe that this was just a coincidence. After all, in the legend of the three brothers, the second brother committed suicide because of the resurrection stone.

As for why the subsequent family members will be fine?

Ivan tends to be the leader of the Gaunt clan of a certain generation who realized the horror of the Resurrection Stone, but was reluctant to throw away such a treasure, so he made a ring to seal the power of the Resurrection Stone and even restricted the use of this thing. The methods were taken to the grave to prevent future generations from suffering the same fate.

This can also explain why the last generation of the Gaunt family knows nothing about the Resurrection Stone.

Ivan pondered for a while, then slowly stretched his hand to his neck and pulled out a silver pendant from his collar. The bottom of the pendant was a coin-sized disc with a diamond-shaped crystal inlaid in the middle - -That is the Resurrection Stone!
