Chapter 409: Reputation that Cannot Be Saved
Hearing Newt's refusal, the expressions of the people in the British Ministry of Magic were not as friendly as before.
But for various reasons (such as Theseus, Theseus, and Theseus... and so on), they still persuaded Newt again.
In particular, the previous emphasized that Grindelwald's influence is becoming more and more powerful, and the previous Obscurial has always been used as a killer by Grindelwald.
In addition to the powerful magical power of the Obscurial itself, Credence's tragic experience is indeed a powerful weapon to provoke wizards' hatred of Muggles.
Newt noticed something wrong in the tone of the people in the Ministry of Magic. Credence should have died, why did the tone of the people in the Ministry of Magic sound... as if he was still alive?
It turned out that Newt was indeed sharp enough. Theseus told Newt a piece of news that was neither good nor bad-Credence was not dead.
At the end of the last movie, there was a close-up. After Credence was blown to ashes, a piece of ashes floated higher and higher, and finally floated out of the subway station, but no one felt anything wrong at the time.
If you watch the second part and then look back at that scene, you will find that the ash did not disappear until the end.
According to the Ministry of Magic, Credence is now a living example that is beneficial to Grindelwald, and they need Newt to find him and kill him.
Knowing that Credence is just a poor man used by Grindelwald, Newt certainly cannot agree to such a thing, even if it is a pretense, he is unwilling, and his application to leave the country is naturally broken again.
Theseus was very helpless about his brother's stubbornness, and chased out to explain the pros and cons to Newt, and said that the situation is tense now, and that letting Newt join the Ministry of Magic just now was actually to...
In order to make him stand on the side, stand opposite Grindelwald.
Newt said very directly that he was very clear about the filth hidden behind these things, but he didn't want to stand on the side.
Whether it was the relationship between wizards and Muggles or the Statute of Secrecy, or the intrigues hidden under the flags of both sides, he was not interested, he just wanted to stay out of it and study the magical animals he liked.
Professor Scamander sighed at his young self on the screen. He was too young back then.
What Theseus said was right. When the situation develops to a certain extent, everyone must stand on the side, otherwise both sides will tacitly clear the third party first, so as to avoid the two sides fighting to the end and the other side taking advantage.
Newt's influence was not great at the time, but he was Theseus's younger brother. Although not many, there would still be eyes on him, and neither side would let him put up the flag of staying out of the matter.
In addition, Newt did not think at the time that he was not alone. He could choose not to stand on the side. Could his relatives, friends and lovers also not stand on the side?
But in the movie, Newt was obviously still in the stage of being hot-blooded and irreconcilable with the world's filth. Theseus, who looked like "my brother's rebellion broke my heart", had no choice but to give him a hug.
Through this hug, Theseus told Newt that he was being monitored now.
Since Newt refused to join the Ministry of Magic, he could only help Newt in a limited way. Apart from these intelligence tips, if Newt caused any trouble, he could still help with his accumulation and popularity in the Ministry of Magic.
On the other hand, because of Newt's "ignorance", the task of finding and solving Credence was handed over to Grimson.
Everyone's first reaction when seeing this person was "this guy doesn't look like a good person". Although his hair was very smooth and he was wearing a suit, he just gave off an awkward feeling of a mouse wearing gold clothes.
In fact, this person's identity is a magical animal hunter.
This profession usually helps people hunt and solve magical animals. Of course, when necessary, it can also provide customers with some services related to magical animals that are not convenient to see in the light, such as poaching... um... poaching and the like.
This can well explain why Newt turned around and left when he saw him for the first time. As a magical animal scientist, Newt hates this kind of people the most.
In addition to Newt's obvious indifference to Grimson, it can be seen that the attitude of the Ministry of Magic towards him is obviously not as good as that towards Newt.
Compared with Newt, who knows the background and is endorsed by Theseus, such a guy with a gray and black identity is not only not so trustworthy in terms of position, but even using him will damage the face of the Ministry of Magic.
Choosing him is also a helpless move of the Ministry of Magic after being rejected by Newt.
At this moment, substituting simple values, the audience still generally supports Newt. After all, for such things that may lead to war, most people's instinctive reaction is to stay out of it.
And for this kind of py transaction, when it is not their turn, everyone is generally more willing to see others refuse it righteously.
In this way, Newt's current situation was explained through this hearing, and the camera turned to Grindelwald.
Walking on the streets of Paris, Grindelwald looked vigorous in a fashionable outfit of Martin boots and windbreaker, without any embarrassment after just being in prison for half a year, and he was accompanied by a very beautiful lady.
On the other side, Grindelwald's men quickly completed the one-stop service from casting the Killing Curse to burying and burying the other party. Grindelwald happened to move into someone else's mansion as a temporary base.
This understated cruelty made many viewers gasp, and made their own contribution to global warming.
Grindelwald's cruelty was not limited to this. In his conversation with his subordinates, he revealed that if his plan succeeded, millions of people would be displaced, but Grindelwald casually brushed it off and said that all they wanted was freedom.
As previously revealed by the media, Grindelwald's slogan at the time was that everything was for the greater good.
At this moment, a baby's voice interrupted their communication...
"..."
Professor Grindelwald couldn't help but pinch his eyebrows. Adam really knew the key points. It seemed that his reputation was completely unnecessary to save.
Killing babies is really a cruel crime that anyone who agrees with universal values cannot accept. After this segment is broadcast, his reputation will be visibly stinking.
Adam knew very well about Professor Grindelwald's current state, and most of this was deliberately done by him.
It has to be said that Professor Grindelwald's eloquence is indeed a bit too good, so good that Adam is a little worried that his reputation in the next generation of the wizarding world will become better and better.
He is happy to see Professor Grindelwald and Professor Dumbledore end their lives after they are over a hundred years old, but it would be very troublesome if they suddenly have the urge to do something evil at such an old age.
After all, it was his idea to let Grindelwald teach at Hogwarts, and Adam should also bear some responsibility for the evil that this old man created.
So he deliberately preserved these past of Grindelwald, so that Grindelwald would not have the possibility of doing other unnecessary things except accepting labor reform at Hogwarts.
