Chapter 941 Sudden Attack
The illusory Nico Flamel could not give him guidance, just like Dumbledore did not really answer the content of the agreement, because these were things beyond his own knowledge, so the "dead" naturally could not give him any guidance. With the answer, I can only keep finding reasons to shirk it.
If he makes up any random reasons, he will easily expose them...
Ivan even more suspected that these magical images were essentially just reproductions of his memories and part of his self-awareness. The biggest evidence was that when he asked questions, the other person gave what he subconsciously thought was the most reasonable and what he most wanted to hear. The answer that arrived.
Perhaps this is the horror of the Resurrection Stone. The magical image created is far more memorable than the real deceased...
Ivan pondered for a while and re-embedded the resurrection stone into the disk. Although he understood that this thing could not truly resurrect the dead and could only create false illusions, the doubts in his heart did not disappear.
After all, he really couldn't figure out why Grindelwald deliberately wanted to get this resurrection stone.
Could it be that I have not mastered the real usage of this thing?
Ivan couldn't help but think of the invisibility cloak on Grindelwald. When he was at Harry's place, it was just a cloak that could hide traces, but when it was worn on Grindelwald, it became controllable.
Will the Resurrection Stone also have a second way to use it, or does it have to be three sacred artifacts combined into one to exert its strongest power?
Ivan stroked the rhombus crystal hanging around his neck and pondered for a while without any clue. It was not until dinner time that he put the pendant away, walked out of the lounge, and prepared to go to the cafeteria to fill his stomach.
However, at this moment, a sharp shout suddenly broke the calm.
Ivan frowned and did not dare to neglect. When he ran in the direction of the gathering of people, the aisle in front of him was already crowded with people when he arrived. Pierce, who also received the news, also came with people. .
"What happened?" Ivan asked in confusion.
"I don't know. I heard that someone was attacked..." Pierce looked forward with a solemn expression.
Delis and others immediately stepped forward to separate the crowded crowd and clear a way forward for Ivan and Pierce.
Right in front of the crowd, a majestic wizard like an iron tower fell on the cold floor tiles. There seemed to be no wounds on his body, but Ivan could tell at a glance that the wizard was no longer alive.
It's a death curse...
Ivan narrowed his eyes. What surprised him most was that the person who was attacked was the Russian minister he had met in the morning.
"Let me go, I didn't do this...let me go!"
A familiar shout reached Ivan's ears. He turned his head and looked over, and then saw Percy being pushed to the ground by several Aurors, crying in panic.
"Percy, what on earth is going on?" Pierce vaguely felt something was wrong and scolded him sternly.
"I don't know...I don't know anything. Minister Pierce, please believe me, this matter has nothing to do with me...I really didn't kill the person." When Percy saw Pierce, it was like seeing a savior. , shouted hurriedly.
The Russian wizards gathered around with unkind expressions, and the leader was extremely angry. He pulled out his wand, pointed at Percy who was firmly restrained on the ground, and asked. "Is he your British wizard? Minister Pierce?"
Pierce gave Percy a hard look, but still explained. "Yes, he is indeed our British wizard, but I think the death of your minister could never have been done by Percy. He has no reason to do such a thing, let alone the ability. There may be some misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding? I don't think there is any misunderstanding! We just used the Flashback Curse to detect traces of the Death Curse in his wand. It was clearly you British wizards who killed our minister!" the leading Russian wizard shouted angrily. He was so angry that he wanted to rush up and grab Pierce's collar.
However, Delis and the others did not let him succeed. They stood in front of Pierce like a wall. However, this action also stimulated the nerves of the Russian wizards, and they pulled out the wands from their waists one by one.
"Stop, stop it!" Just when the conflict was about to break out, Conor led a large number of Aurors and rushed over, accompanied by Wilkinson, the chairman of the North American Congress.
However, the Russian wizards did not buy it and demanded that Wilkinson must give them justice, otherwise they would pay blood for blood and tooth for tooth.
Looking at the corpse on the ground, Conor instantly realized the seriousness of the matter, "Friends of Tsarist Russia, please calm down. We all know how strong Minister Igor is, so I don't think this Percy Sir, you have the ability to kill him silently."
"Of course it's impossible to fight head-on, but that's not necessarily the case if you use some underhanded tactics or have helpers!" the leading Russian wizard said coldly, then pulled Percy over from the ground and threw him to everyone. in front of. "The most important thing is that we detected traces of the killing curse in his wand!"
Wilkinson winked at the Auror beside him and asked him to check Percy's wand again.
The Auror nodded, took the wand from the Russian wizard's hand, pointed it at the sky, and cast a flashback spell.
The next moment, a deep green light flew out from the wand.
The wizards present all exclaimed, and the leading Russian wizard looked at Pierce and the others angrily and asked. "What else do you want to say?"
"Obviously someone used the Imperius Curse on him!" Ivan, who had not spoken until now, suddenly interrupted the Russian wizard's words, then turned to look at Percy, who looked frightened, and asked solemnly . "How did you get here, Percy?"
Percy, who was beaten with a bruised nose and face, also understood that this was the last chance to clear his suspicions, so he stumbled and explained.
At about six o'clock in the afternoon, he went to the dining hall to have dinner with some friends he had just met, and then returned to the lounge alone. Halfway there, his brain suddenly shut down and he lost consciousness. When he came to his senses again, he saw Minister Igor lying on the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead...
He was in a panic at that time, and hurriedly stepped forward to confirm. After realizing that Igor had disappeared, he hurriedly wanted to escape from here, but before he could take action, a witch discovered his whereabouts. , more and more people gathered around, and the Russian wizards beat him up without explanation.
(PS: I recommend a friend's new book "The Lord of the Old Gods", written by Akina Shankargami. No thunder and no depression, but it is still a seedling. If you like this genre, you can read it...)
