Spotted By Grindelwald And Went To Hogwarts Chapter 356: Grindelwald, running
"Did you find anything?" Seeing Sean walk out of the ring, Hermione immediately asked curiously.
Sean locked his brows, his eyes full of confusion.
He said slowly: "There is a little bit...just very strange..."
In Xiao En's original idea, he might be able to get some more specific information about the [Returner] through the vision of the Hidden Monster, such as the composition of the other party's personnel, gathering places, contact methods, and so on.
However, the intelligence of the Hidden Monster is much lower than he imagined.
A occult is an accidental creature. At that time, Phineas Fletcher, who was engaged in the trade of prohibited cultural relics and animals, wanted to transport a sold invisible beast to the New World to make invisibility cloaks. But the Invisible Beast escapes on board and interbreeds with a stowaway ghoul. Their offspring fled into the forests of Massachusetts after the ship landed, and they still infest the area today.
This kind of creature also has the ability to be invisible, but the philanthropic character of the invisible beast, the short-term prediction of the future, and the extremely high level of intelligence among magical animals have not been inherited. Instead, they have a stronger and more powerful body, a personality that is dozens of times more brutal, and an instinctive hunting impulse.
The hidden monsters love to feed on humanoid creatures, and their favorite prey is humans. Magic zoologists speculate that this is because Phineas Fletcher once cruelly treated the animals under his control.
This also made it difficult for Sean to communicate with the hidden monster, even if he won the trust of it.
Yes, that hidden monster is very intimate with Sean, wanting to taste his flesh intimately... and this guy's intelligence is too low, he can't teach normal recipes at all...
It took Sean a lot of effort to dig out some information from the barren brain of the Hidden Monster, during which the Hidden Monster tried to taste one of his fingers more than ten times.
Originally, the Hidden Monster's brain, which only knows its prey and eats, could not save so many memories, but some extremely terrifying magic power fluctuations were recorded by his instinct, and those creatures that cannot be provoked were also written into his memory.
The one that impressed me the most was an old man with a white beard. After Sean took out Dumbledore's portrait, the Hidden Monster even trembled.
Summarizing the memory fragments of the Hidden Monster, Sean learned something about Dumbledore's cooperation with the Returner.
Dumbledore seems to be looking for something, and those things are only known to those who have returned. In the memory of the Hidden Monster, the descendant of the Calcas family who was killed by Sean once led Dumbledore to several places.
A long-abandoned old castle, an inland lake shrouded in swamps, woods, and mist, and a small village that has been dilapidated for a long time.
In the memory of the Hidden Monster, the first place Dumbledore went to was the long-abandoned old castle. At that time, the wizard who led the way in the Calcas family seemed to be very afraid of Dumbledore.
Dumbledore stayed in that castle for a long time, and when he finally showed up, he seemed very emotionally unstable.
The poor description ability of the hidden monster said this: the white-bearded old man walked out of the pile of stones, and he became more terrifying than any creature. I wanted to escape from that place, but I was restrained, and I didn't dare to think of eating him.
After the trip to the abandoned castle, when Dumbledore went to two other places again, the Calcas family was not so afraid. However, no one except Dumbledore dared to enter the next two places. As a magical animal tool, the Hidden Monster naturally didn't know what happened.
This is all the information Sean dug out from the Hidden Monster.
Among them, Sean was very concerned about the attitude of the wizards of the Calcas family.
I was very apprehensive during the trip to the abandoned castle, but not anymore...
Does that mean that during the trip to the castle, Dumbledore hadn't reached a cooperative relationship with the returnee? Dumbledore may have learned some news from the castle, and then formed a cooperative relationship with the returnee...
As for the two locations behind, Sean couldn't figure out where they were, but he was very curious about that castle now. What exactly did Dumbledore find in it?
He had an intuition that if he could also find the location of the castle, he might be able to discover the secret that Dumbledore had been hiding all along.
Moreover, Sean also speculated on one thing.
Dare to cooperate with Dumbledore on such a mission, and those returnees are obviously not fools. Combined with the change in attitude of the Calcas wizards, Sean feels that Dumbledore may have formed some kind of contract with the returnees.
For example: an unbreakable oath.
In this way, Dumbledore's state of not revealing any information to Sean is also explained.
Thinking about it personally, Sean felt that if he was in the position of the returnee, without an unbreakable oath to restrain Dumbledore, he would never dare to cooperate with him.
Otherwise, at some point, the opponent will stab you from behind.
Today, there are still incomprehensible things about the cooperation between Dumbledore and the Returned.
Suppressing Grindelwald and controlling the wizarding world should occupy a large part of The Returner's goals.
Dumbledore's goal is not clear enough.
However, it's better than being blind and not knowing anything.
Sean closed his eyes and meditated there. His mind is a little swollen now, but there are some things that he can't tell Hermione and Daisy.
It would be great if I could discuss it with Grindelwald...
At night, a message came from Lupine.
"Look at this," Lupine handed over a note in the reception room, "All the newspapers will publish this news tomorrow. We got the first-hand news from the International Federation of Wizards candidate dinner."
Sean took the note and pressed his lips tightly together.
"The current president of the International Federation of Wizards, Charles Vogel, officially announced on the penultimate day of his tenure that all charges against Grindelwald have been withdrawn due to insufficient evidence and the actions of the guards."
This must have been written by Grindelwald... The news immediately popped into Sean's mind.
Lupine went on to say: "And, according to our sources, Charles Vogel is likely to announce immediately that Grindelwald will also participate in this chairman's general election."
"He wants to participate too?" Sean said subconsciously.
"It's very likely," Lupine nodded. "Vogel seems to have convinced many members of the committee, and several other candidates seem to have acquiesced."
"A few other candidates, do you have any specific information?"
"Yes, take a look."
…
Germany, on the third-floor terrace of a castle, several men and women in dresses and with the air of a superior are talking.
In the night sky in front of them, the green fireworks have not completely dissipated, and the enthusiastic voices of people still remain in the streets.
A woman in a gorgeous dress with high hair is looking seriously at the middle-aged wizard in the middle.
Isanne Archer, from Greece, is the most popular candidate in this general election, not one of them. She proposed a number of measures and won the support of many wizards. At the same time, there were many powerful pure-blood family forces hidden behind her.
"Mr. Vogel," Archer said in a deep voice, "it seems that the dismissal of the charges against Grindelwald has not yet passed the committee's vote?"
The person standing in the center is Charles Vogel, the president of the International Federation of Wizards who is about to be 'laid off'.
Vogel was a man with a square face and a calm expression. He glanced at Archer and shook his head with a helpless expression.
"Ma'am, you are very clear about the current situation. Take a look, look at the crowd who just dispersed below. The guards are constantly exposed to all kinds of shady scenes, so how can the people choose to trust them completely? Moreover, Grindelwald is the principal of Nurmengard. Most of the people who came just now are his former students, and they worship their principal."
"After the various situations of the Guards were exposed, you should understand how much pressure we have endured from public opinion. Every day, letters asking for a thorough investigation to restore Grindelwald's innocence have been sent by owls, and the Guards have not even held a press conference. Madam, although I am about to step down, I am still the chairman of the Federation. I must respond to the voices of the people."
He sighed: "Do you think I don't want to leave quietly and peacefully the position I've been in for decades without anything going wrong? But can I?"
Standing in the night wind, Vogel looked rather bleak as the ending hero: "Instead of handing over the mess to one of you, I might as well take the blame."
"Hehe—" he smiled wryly, "This is the last thing I can do."
Archer and another candidate, Wahag da Silva, who came from Africa and was quite popular, looked at each other. Of course, those who can reach this position will not be easily moved by Vogel's words.
But they also have to admit that judging from the current situation, it is unrealistic to continue to arrest Grindelwald, so it is indeed a good choice to throw this fault to the outgoing Vogel.
"Mr. Vogel, you have worked hard," Da Silva pondered, and then his eyes sharpened again, "I can accept the withdrawal of the charges against Grindelwald, but what I don't understand is that he will also become another candidate."
"Sir, this is what you showed us just now, so please take a look too." Da Silva walked to the terrace and pointed to the noisy crowd that hadn't dispersed yet.
The supporters of Grindelwald had expressions of fanaticism and anticipation. They were close to the people around them, and they kept sending green spells towards the sky.
"Boom—" The green light shone on the faces of everyone on the terrace.
Da Silva said in a heavy tone: "What Grindelwald wants, you and I are all too clear. He wants to start a war between wizards and Muggles!"
"Prison escapes occur frequently in various places, and the frequency of Muggle attacks has hit the highest level in decades. The risk of exposure to the wizarding world in various countries is already at an unprecedented high level——"
Archer also took a step forward: "Mr. Da Silva is right. This is not my candidate's selfishness. This is a fact. If Grindelwald is really elected, the new war will destroy the Muggle world, and it will also destroy our world."
Vogel's face became more serious: "So, let him run, so, don't let him win."
"I understand the feelings of the candidates, and I believe that you did not raise this concern out of selfishness. But I must remind you that my proposal to let him run is not for this war, but to avoid the immediate war."
His chest heaved up and down, his eyes were solemn and a little angry.
"Because of the stupid behavior of the guards, Grindelwald is now an innocent victim in the eyes of most people! And his loyal subordinates are as good at provoking the hearts of the people. I don't need your reminders to see that his supporters are more enthusiastic than any wizard group, and you can't deny that such wizards have always existed. , Never disappeared, Grindelwald's concept fully meets their needs. It is unavoidable to be united in one piece. "
Vogel took a deep breath: "So, he must be allowed to stand for the election and let those people see. If Grindelwald is not elected, they will no longer be able to raise objections. If not - right in front of our eyes, the wizarding world will soon fall into a struggle between fellow citizens."
At this time, he looked at the serious candidates again: "So, the key to everything is not to let him win, ladies and gentlemen."
Vogel's personal secretary took a step forward and said with a smile: "Mr. Chairman has already considered this, so we will restart the ancient election method this time—Kylin."
All the candidates were startled, some jumped for joy, some thought something was wrong, everyone was attracted by the unicorn. But they are sure of one thing, if the Kirin election is restarted, then the elected person will definitely not be Grindelwald.
In a place where no one could see, Charles Vogel turned around, his face was illuminated with green light by the spell blasted in the sky~IndoMTL.com~ There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
…
Hogwarts, which was banned from passing owls, ushered in a commotion. Maybe the matter was too big, and the Ministry of Magic sent a message.
"Due to insufficient evidence and the suspicion that the guards created false images to frame innocent people, all charges against Gellert Grindelwald have been dropped."
Before the shocked students finished digesting the news, even more exciting news came again.
Charles Vogel, the current president of the International Federation of Wizards, officially announced that Grindelwald, who is over 100 years old and has just been elucidated as a suspect, will participate in this general election.
And, considering that the current situation is tense and many wizards are unable to conduct normal voting activities, the federation will use the ancient election method - Kirin election.
Ten days later, the general election will officially begin!
