Chapter 253 You Need a Leader

When the ocean of gold finally solidified, the entire Ministry of Magic was covered with a smooth golden floor.

At this time, the staff of the Ministry of Magic and the people who had left and returned to see the results entered the hall again.

The high platform has long since disappeared, and what people see is a huge golden dragon sculpture.

The dragon sculpture is of course the remnants of Smaug's limited golden skin. After the gold wrapped around Smaug's dragon scales solidified, Tang Sen took Smaug back into the consciousness space.

Opposite the golden dragon sculpture is a golden sculpture of Dumbledore.

The two stood facing each other, as if they were still at war.

The magician and Tang Sen were standing on the top of the dragon sculpture.

The magician at this time is naturally not transformed by Smaug. With the current level of Tang Sen's transformation skills, there is no way to quickly transform Smaug from the dragon form back to the human form. This is just the ability to create illusions and stand-in paper men. Fake identities created.

Although Grindelwald and Voldemort already know that the magician and the diviner are one and the same person, Tang Sen has no intention of giving up his dual identity. The words of these two people cannot affect Tang Sen. At least on the surface, as a diviner in his own right , still need to continue researching in Hogwarts Castle, and the magician's plan to rule the magical world has just begun.

More and more people gathered in the hall, and people looked at the completely different scene in front of them with extremely horrified eyes, looking at the Ministry of Magic wearing a golden coat.

Of course, people already knew the result when they saw the two people standing on top of the dragon sculpture.

Some people are happy, some are afraid, and most people have complicated expressions.

Tang Sen saw all this, and he controlled the magician to speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen."

"As you can see, unfortunately, Albus Dumbledore is dead."

"I believe this is not the result that many people want to see. I have heard about Dumbledore's deeds a long time ago. I know that he is called the greatest white wizard of this century. As the former president of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Principal, most of the people here were once his students.”

"He is a good man, a man who has contributed to the wizarding world. From beginning to end, I have no intention of harming him. I hope to convince him, and I hope he will go with us, but it is a pity that he believed Grindelwald's You lied and chose to stand against me."

"He thinks that I am an ambitious person. My purpose has never been to create a more brilliant civilization, but only to rule the magic world."

"It's a tragic misunderstanding, but I'm not willing to explain it."

The magician paused and looked around at everyone.

"Anyone who truly understands my thinking will realize that change is never about me."

"I am just an initiator, not an executor. Even without me, change will still not stop, because the executors of change are the millions of people present and absent who hope to create a better future."

“No one can stop change, not even me.”

"The only reason I'm here is because change needs a leader."

His voice became more and more passionate, each sentence becoming more sonorous and powerful.

"A leader who is strong enough to withstand the forces of opposition, a leader who is firm enough and firm enough to never take the wrong path, a leader who is rational enough and rational enough that even if the other party is Dumbledore, as long as he is in the way Change, and never an indecisive leader.”

"So, I stand here and I vow to lead all my fellow travelers to realize our ideals."

Cheers rang out in the Golden Hall, and these cheers dispelled the gloomy atmosphere caused by Dumbledore's death.

The magician watched all this quietly, and only continued after everyone had vented their emotions:

"Ladies and gentlemen."

"I declare that from this moment on I will take over the British wizarding world, and I declare that any wizard who opposes change will become my enemy."

"Who agrees and who opposes?"

There was silence in the hall. Even the opponents of the pure-blood family, looking at the golden sculpture of Dumbledore, did not dare to make any more noise.

Naturally, they didn't know everything that happened in the illusory space, and they didn't know that Voldemort was involved. They didn't know that because the space was too small, it greatly enhanced Smaug's ability, and Dumbledore had already wanted to die. will cause such results.

They only knew what they saw. The two people recognized as the most powerful wizard and the legendary Grindelwald joined forces to fight against the magician, but they ended up escaping to death.

The wizards really couldn't think of anyone else who could stand up to the magician.

The other party alone is enough to suppress the entire magic world.

"It seems that no one objects for the time being, which is good. I don't want to see any bloodshed."

The magician continued:

"I need everyone to elect a trustworthy and steadfast companion as the new Minister of Magic in the UK. He will clean up the enemies in the UK for me, integrate everyone's strength, and accumulate strength in order to push the revolutionary wave to the entire world. .”

Everyone hesitated for a moment, and someone shouted: "We elect a magician!"

"That's right. Who else is qualified to be Minister of Magic besides you?"

The magician smiled and said: "The job of Minister of Magic is not an easy one. I don't have that much time to manage matters in the magical world. What I have to do is to promote a wave of change around the world."

"We are running out of time. To achieve our goals within three years, we need everyone to work together. It is not a wise choice to just rely on me to shoulder the burden."

"Okay, now let's start the selection."

It wasn't until dusk that the people gathered in the Golden Hall began to disperse.

The new British Minister of Magic is not anyone from the original Ministry of Magic, but a well-known Muggle social studies scholar. This selection result is probably because believers do not trust people from the original Ministry of Magic very much.

Of course, Townsend no longer needs to pay special attention to the outcome. After what happened today, in the British magical world, no matter who is the Minister of Magic, the only one who truly has the right to speak is himself.

When the dust settled, in the dusk, only a few people were left in the hall.

Snape was one of them. He stood in front of Dumbledore's golden sculpture, hiding his inner emotions with a stiff expression.

When the old man actually died, Snape felt a rare sense of confusion.

He didn't know why the other party so decisively chose to believe Grindelwald's outrageous prophecy. Even Snape didn't think that the magician would choose to overturn everything he had done after he had spent so much effort. .

This makes no sense.

However, Snape believed in Dumbledore, and there was always a reason for whatever the old man did.

The last words he said to himself were to put himself in the camp he should be in.

"In the end, even the last words you said to me were for me to continue undercover in the magician's camp?"

Snape smiled bitterly. He didn't know what the point was in continuing to be an undercover agent. Even if an undercover agent was not online, even if he obtained information, he could only bury it in his heart.

He remembered Dumbledore's conversation with him.

"I can't stop the magician anymore, Albus."

"But I will still find a way to use the magician's power to save Harry Potter's life while completely killing Voldemort."

He glanced at the other people who were remembering Dumbledore, and walked into the fireplace expressionlessly.

At the same time, in Malfoy Manor.

Grindelwald held the Elder Wand and stood in front of a Death Eater with a stern expression.

The Death Eater's back was facing him, and behind his smooth head was a twisted, noseless face.

"You have no choice, Voldemort."

"The magician is just using you. He can't return the Horcrux to you. For the sake of his rule, he will eventually completely eliminate you."

"If you want to save your life, you can only choose to cooperate with me."

"Let's kill the magician together."

Voldemort's snake-like eyes stared at Grindelwald coldly, and uttered a hoarse voice: "The magician can't deal with me. Neither the dragon nor the magician himself just took advantage of the closed space. .”

"I don't have to work with anyone."

"So, are you going to run away in front of the magician like a lost dog?" Grindelwald sneered: "Even without the terrain advantage, you still can't deal with the magician. The dragon's ability to cooperate with the magician is inherently powerful. never fail."

"Then it won't work even with you." Voldemort said.

"So, we need an opportunity, a precise plan, and an assassination." Grindelwald said calmly: "If we can find a way to prevent the dragon and the magician from cooperating, then it will be easy to defeat each one."

Voldemort was silent for a moment: "What are you going to do?"

"Now?" Grindelwald paused: "We are leaving England."

"This place has been completely controlled by magicians. We have no chance here."

"And we also need time to find and study magic to restrain the dragon. We also need time to relax the magician's vigilance and create opportunities for assassination."

"So -" Voldemort reacted: "When the time comes, you deal with the dragon, and I assassinate the magician?"

"That's right." Grindelwald said: "Go to the other side of the sea, where his tentacles cannot reach for the time being."

"The Magician has many supporters. He is not alone." Voldemort said.

"We are not alone either."

Grindelwald's eyes flashed with danger.

"Don't magicians like to use the power of thought? It just so happens that I am also good at this."

"Let the wave of change set off on the other side of the sea, but the leader is no longer a magician, but - me."

"For a more brilliant civilization!"
