Chapter 96 Grindelwald Is a Genius

Being stared at by this group of people with ignorant eyes, Grete only felt tired.

In his opinion, the current magic world is like the last feudal dynasty before he traveled through time, closed to the outside world, and buried his head in a turtle shell.

It was as if he was hypnotizing himself that as long as the door was closed, the world would remain unchanged, and he would be the king of the world.

For so many years, ordinary humans as Muggles have been making progress, using wisdom to explore the world and using technology to change nature.

The ocean is boundless, and giant ships and submarines have been developed, and then step by step into the deep sea.

Eager to fly, they used hot air balloons and airplanes to conquer the sky step by step. Many Muggle governments are now exploring space.

But this group of wizards are still arrogant here and think that Muggles are not a concern.

Even if Grete threw the evidence in their faces, their eyes were full of doubts, as if they thought Grete was deceiving them with fabricated materials.

Their last impression of Muggles still stayed decades ago when Grindelwald launched the magic war.

The bloody battlefield filled with smoke in the Muggle world was their last impression of Muggles.

Grindelwald saw the potential of Muggles and saw that if wizards continued like this, they would have no future.

He risked everything to start a war, but the only people who followed him were saints, and he eventually failed in the vast sea of ​​people.

——

After Grindelwald's failure, the secrecy law of the wizarding world became even stricter.

The Hogwarts Express is the only time that the wizarding world has actively absorbed Muggle technology.

At least, on the surface, all official organizations in the wizarding world are doing their best to maintain the secrecy law.

Otherwise, no representative would have proposed that Hogwarts abandon the express train at the Wizengamot meeting.

However, judging from Arthur Weasley's magic car, not everyone is in full opposition to the Muggle world.

That's why Gretel thinks the wizarding world can still be saved.

If it's really like the Middle Ages, when Muggles treated wizards like they did, they would shout and kill at every turn, even if they accidentally hurt countless innocent people, and would never let a wizard go.

If all wizards really treat the Muggle world like a flood and a beast.

Then Gretel would not even think about saving this group of ignorant and arrogant people.

He would only hide quietly in Hogwarts, and after graduation, he would give up this hopeless group.

The power of one person is limited. If he is alone, he will be exhausted, and it is impossible to save everyone from the quagmire.

Companions, people, unite all those who can be united, and gather the power of all people to change the world.

In Gretel's view, Grindelwald's route cannot be said to be wrong, but it can only be regarded as insufficient preparation and inappropriate launch.

There are only a handful of saints who unite around him, and more silent people are pushed to the opposite side by the saints' barbaric methods.

If Grindelwald was not so eager to act, if he could lie dormant for a few more years, if he did not use so many means of deception.

Perhaps everything would not be like this now.

War can only be regarded as a last resort.

Gretel will not take the initiative to start a war, but he will not give up the war either.

He is not like Grindelwald, who pinned everything on war, nor like Dumbledore, who rejected war.

He is not afraid of war. On the contrary, if it is really necessary, he will take the initiative to step forward and meet the first bullet fired at them.

Before that, the most needed thing is to wake up the sleeping people from ignorance.

Gret pondered for a moment, raised his head and squinted his eyes at the group of stubborn old antiques headed by John King in front of him.

"Mr. John King, looking at your expression, I think you must think I am exaggerating, so let's do this.

Moen Sechter, please transfer Mr. John King and his group to my castle, where someone will take good care of them.

As for the operation of the Ministry of Magic, our comrades will temporarily use the Polyjuice Potion to take over.

I believe Mr. John King will not be stingy to lend us some hair and nails."

Because of the help of Moen Sechter, John King and his group came to the Ministry of Magic without any precautions.

After that, they were disarmed of their wands, mobile phones, and weapons.

Since he couldn't convince them, Grete didn't want to waste time on them for the time being.

It would be better to put them under house arrest in the castle and let them learn some Muggle knowledge.

I believe that when they come out of the library that is expanded by the traceless extension spell and has no boundaries, they will definitely have a certain change in their views on Muggles.

If they are locked up in the castle, he doesn't have to worry about these people running out and revealing the current location of Dawn.

Because there are means of suppressing magic that he has set up there.

"Mr. John King, I wish you a happy study."

While Morn's men were busy shaving and trimming the manicures of these officials, Grete gave instructions for other things.

"Sennie Dilgo, you will contact Mr. Estragon. I remember that someone in their family works in the newspaper.

No matter how much it costs, buy that newspaper for us. We must use the weapon of public opinion.

After buying the newspaper, put all our people in it and start to compete with the Daily Prophet.

Remember, your mission is to protect Dumbledore as much as possible.

He spared no effort to describe Shuguang as a group of immature student groups holding idealism.

Now, we can't openly violate the secrecy law for the time being, which should help us confuse a lot of people.

Privately, we will continue to develop our comrades and strengthen our team. "

Seni received the order and immediately turned to complete his task.

"Penelo Crevat," Gretel turned his eyes to this heroic female general, "How many comrades do we have now?"

"There are 297 official members, 1077 peripheral members, and there are more than 2,000 people who are still in contact, but most of them are still wavering." Penello replied confidently. As a housekeeper, she needs to know all the data. .

"Okay, from now on Rita Skeeter will be connected by you, we still need her pen holder for the time being.

We strive to make every article written by Rita Skeeter a front for our propaganda.

You can provide her with theoretical support without worrying about her defection.

Don't be afraid of spending money, as long as you have the support of shining gold galleons, I believe this great reporter will be willing to fight for us.

Of course, don’t forget to remind Rita Skeeter that her main purpose is to discredit the great ‘White Devil’.

We want the crown of the ‘White Devil’ to resound throughout Europe with Rita Skeeter’s article.

Don’t stop infiltrating the British Ministry of Magic. We must ensure that Cornelius Fudge is surrounded by our insiders.

I believe that the most suspicious Minister of Magic in history will help us blow some wind.

If you and Comrade Saini team up, every time Rita Skeeter publishes an article, Saini's newspaper must publish three or four rebuttal soft articles.

We must do everything possible to stir up the public opinion environment in the European magical community.

I believe that as the debate brews about whether the ‘White Devil’ is really the White Devil.

There will definitely be more people paying attention to our Shuguang philosophy. "

As Gretel’s right-hand man who has followed Gretel for many years, Penello clearly understands Gretel’s meaning.

No matter how appalling a topic is or how much attention it attracts at the time.

The biggest enemy is often time. As time goes by, people will always forget about it involuntarily.

To keep a topic alive, you must make it dynamic.

The best way to inject vitality into a topic is to find an opponent and let them start fighting.

"Cedric Diggory, you're in charge of logistics and running training sessions.

As instructors, we are responsible for teaching new comrades the magic spell, and we must arm them in the shortest possible time.

We must ensure that they can protect their own safety when facing Death Eaters. "

When Grete finished explaining everything, the sky was gradually getting brighter.

A bunch of angry eyes that almost condensed into substance, almost igniting Gretel.

However, once Gretel raised his eyes upwards, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

I wonder if Moen Sekht has a deep grudge against them, but those shining heads are really eye-catching.

If he read correctly, Moen didn't even leave them with an eyebrow.

Saini, who was busy calculating with Penello how much money it would take to buy the newspaper, raised his head because of a stiff neck, and then stayed there in a daze.

After a while, he touched his hair and carefully stood on the other side away from Moen.

When the sky lit up, everyone in the conference room of the Ministry of Magic of Moldova left.

Only Gretel was still sitting on the podium, playing with a ball with empty eyes.

After a while, the figure gradually faded, and there was no trace of anyone left.

——

When Gretel appeared again, he had already arrived in Nurmengard.

He promised Grindelwald that after leaving Hogwarts, he would send him news about his old friend.

Grindelwald couldn't wait to see Dumbledore's expression.

However, it was obvious that the way Gretel appeared shocked him.

He didn't even take the memory ball that Gretel had specially created for the first time. It was a video of a face-to-face conversation with Dumbledore recorded from his first-person perspective.

There was not a trace of fluctuation, just like moistening things silently, emerging in front of Grindelwald bit by bit.

"Have you taken that step yet?"

Grindelwald's voice was a little dry due to shock.

Grete shook his head slowly, "It's just a little bit, but it probably confirms that your guess is correct."

Grindelwald was imprisoned in Nurmengard for decades, although most of the time he was in a state of confusion.

But he wasn't immersed in that kind of frustration and regret all the time.

Whenever he is awake, he will make some bold conjectures, such as the improvement of magic spells, the nature of magic...

According to his research, he found that wizards' spellcasting abilities weakened little by little over time.

All the ancient wizards could cast spells with their bare hands without the help of a wand, and they could easily collapse mountains and crack rocks.

As magic developed to ancient wizards, they began to need wands to enhance the power of spells.

But it can still change the terrain for a long time, and it is not very difficult to create powerful magical creations.

Going forward, wizards are no longer able to do without their wands, and only some powerful wizards can cast spells without a wand.

Today, there are only a few wizards who can cast spells without a wand. Even if they can, they can only cast some simple spells.

Gretel is different, so Grindelwald was very shocked and thought he had copied the path of the ancient wizards.

And this series of developments changed with the change in the relationship between wizards and Muggles.

Grindelwald speculated that the magical ability of wizards is likely related to Muggle rest.

In ancient times, wizards were often the most powerful people in the entire tribe, and they were responsible for protecting their Muggle companions.

Oh, there was no name for Muggles at that time. They were responsible for protecting and treating their ordinary companions.

At this time, wizards had supreme power. As leaders, everyone trusted them wholeheartedly.

With the development of civilization and the liberation of productivity, ordinary people found that sometimes they did not need to rely entirely on wizards.

Fighting and hunting can rely on new weapons, and illness does not require spells or potions. Ordinary herbs can also treat their illnesses.

Afterwards, some people may have created religion for power or for sustenance.

They placed their life, old age, sickness and death on the imaginary gods.

Many people began to doubt and exclude wizards, and wizards lost their status, and the nobility was given to gods.

With the further development of civilization, the emergence of city-states and countries, and those in power found that people with extraordinary abilities were beyond their control.

Further exclusion began, and wizards had to hide their identities.

One day, someone discovered that ordinary people could also hurt wizards, and these people would bleed and die like them.

I don’t know if it was because of jealousy or something else, they began to study persecuting wizards.

Finally, someone announced that the abilities of wizards were illegal, dark, and had stolen the authority of God.

…

Finally one day, Muggles and wizards broke off completely, and Muggles completely controlled the world.

Wizards hid in various uninhabited wastelands and deep mountains.

And as the closure lasted longer and longer, the wizards’ talents became more and more mediocre.

Dumbledore and Grindelwald were probably the last highlights.

Until now, the most dazzling genius in the magic world has even become a crazy lunatic like Voldemort.

Grindelwald has always looked down on Voldemort.

Every time he talks to Gretel, he will say that Dumbledore is really old, and even such a mentally abnormal guy can step on Dumbledore's head.

——

If it weren't for the Patronus swallowing the Dementor, Gretel observed the existence of the mysterious particles.

Gretel would also think that Grindelwald's conjecture is a daydream and a fantasy.

How could the abilities of wizards be related to Muggles.

But after having silver eyes, Gretel felt that Grindelwald's conjecture might be correct.

After all, he also saw the existence of such particles on Muggles.

Gretel temporarily named them magic particles.

Magic particles exist in everyone in this world.

Because of the ubiquitous magic particles, magic has become a reality.

Grindelwald is really a genius. He just guessed from the clues in historical records that the wizards' ability to cast spells may be related to Muggles.

1899.

Gretel (to Xiao Deng fainted): Grindelwald, follow me, don't rebel, rebellion is useless, it will only make you lonely for the rest of your life.

Follow me, I will tie Dumbledore home for you, you just do research, I will rebel.

Grindelwald (took out the magic wand to defend): Let go of my Albus.

Gretel (casting without a wand): Expelliarmus.

Grindelwald (standing with his head down): Okay, I can't beat you, but I want you to let Albus go.

Otherwise I can't tell whether you are going to tie me up or my Albus?
