Hogwarts Card System Chapter 449

Chapter 449 The calm before the storm

 The Ministry of Magic is lost, which means that Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley are lost.

 All the shops in Diagon Alley are closed, even Gringotts is closed.

However, there are still many shops in Knockturn Alley that are open secretly.

 But soon, Gringotts opened its doors again. Because the leprechaun is back!

It's not the goblins in England, it's the goblins in Eastern Europe who took refuge with Voldemort. They still have a way of speculating.

Gringotts' closure will lead to a recession, especially for those Death Eaters who are still hoping to make a fortune. Now they can't even see gold galleons, and they are going to deflation.

That doesn't work, send the goblins over quickly and prop up Gringotts again.

There are a lot of Death Eaters over there who are even trying to pry into other people's Gringotts treasure trove - what's wrong with me working for the Dark Lord and getting some money to spend? !

But that thing is really not easy to open.

The Death Eaters suffered enough just from the blind dragon underground. It was previously controlled by a magic bell, but it was taken away by the wizards when they left, and no one could get past it.

For this reason, more than twenty Death Eaters and goblins fought the blind old dragon underground for fifty rounds, and were beaten to pieces.

But then another wave of Death Eaters came, bringing with them "professional" guys - "dragon-slaying suits", which wizards use specifically to fight fire dragons. They killed the old dragon, and then started to break into the safe!

 Fortunately, Ted never trusted goblins, nor did he trust such institutions like banks. He kept all his money himself.

 As for other people, there must have been heavy losses.

Although the Death Eaters captured the Ministry of Magic with overwhelming force, they could no longer continue to advance regardless of the cost as before. That battle was too costly.

Just mobilizing cannon fodder monsters from abroad, or resurrecting undead monsters in the cemetery here in the UK, is not something that can be accomplished in a short time.

 Besides, half of the promise to the Dark Lord has been completed, and the shame of the previous sneak attack has been washed away, so there is no need to work so hard.

Who likes to risk their lives when they have nothing to do?

 What is "conquering the whole of Britain in seven days"?

That's just because the Dark Lord likes to hear it, so that's why you say it. Do you really mean it? !

  We have conquered the Ministry of Magic, that is enough. So what are you doing?

Even Bella can't forcefully command those Death Eaters who have survived the war to fight for their lives.

 After all, the days of getting rich have just begun, so I can't die!

 It is not the dawn of victory now, it has already dawned.

Before that for several years, he was hid in Tibet by Dumbledore and the International Witcher Federation like a mouse. He was worried about drilling his heart every day under the hands of the Black Demon King. What do I do?

 Isn't it just for now?

If I die now, I don't know who will benefit from this benefit!

As for the slogan "Make the pure-blood family great again", forget it. After all, there are not many pure-blooded dark wizards and Death Eaters under Voldemort.

 The direct lineage has all been consumed~

Voldemort only vaguely felt this problem, but he didn't think about it deeply. He felt more that "everything is competing, and a vibrant scene is right in front of him"!

 At the end of any organization, small groups and route problems will arise. How could Voldemort understand this?

On the other hand, Grindelwald, who is living quietly in Africa, has done a good job in this regard. His slogan and purpose is "In this crisis-ridden world, give the magic world a way to survive"!

 Just listen to it, and a majestic and epic sense of responsibility will arise spontaneously!

Both Dumbledore and Ted have always been troubled by the threat of Voldemort himself. After all, he has really used up all the skill points related to "fear of death".

 The main reason is that he cannot be killed and causes trouble without reaching the bottom line. There are only so many people in the British wizarding world, and they really can't stand his torment. But the crooked melons, split dates, local chickens and dogs under his command are simply not worth the trouble.

 After the personnel of the Ministry of Magic evacuated, they naturally evacuated to the village of Hogsmeade in the Scottish Highlands.

After all, there are only two or three gathering places for wizards in the entire UK. Now that the Ministry of Magic has fallen, and Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley in London have also been occupied, the only option left is Hogsmeade.

 To be honest, the village is too chaotic now.

  After all, although there were relevant plans before, there were no very detailed preparations.

Even if I lost, I didn't expect it to happen so quickly!

Still, the crazy batch Bella really gave all the wizards a lesson -you can't afford the lunatic!

Now Hogsmeade suddenly has an influx of three to five hundred Ministry of Magic wizards, and the population has almost doubled.

And not only the staff of the Ministry of Magic, but also many wizards from the south, also dragged their families and ran here.

 After all, you can't just stay in London and let the Death Eaters deal with it, right?

Everyone knows what those grandsons were like more than ten years ago. Now that they have gained power, they are still doing worse!

As for the north, Hogwarts and Hogsmeade can still give people a sense of security. After all, it is human nature to stick together.

With such a large number of people pouring in, Hogsmeade was as if it were about to host the Quivers Cup. The streets were crowded with large and small tents, and wizards were walking in a hurry with hesitant expressions on their faces.

The Ministry of Magic was defeated too quickly. Although there was no loss, the blow to morale was still considerable.

Although it is said that the Death Eaters will not have the strength to launch an attack in a short period of time, doesn't this imply that they will have to attack as time goes by?

 Have never fought before, how can I beat it in the future?

 Many wizards are pessimistic about the future. It's not just them either…

Nearly a million wizards around the world are following the battle in the UK through the Magic Network Utopia.

Let's put it this way, if Britain is also taken over by Voldemort and the Death Eaters, what hope will there be for the remaining French people?

 Further west, things like Spain are even worse. That's it!

Even the Magic Congress of America held a meeting all night to discuss whether to do something?

  But how do you say that sentence?

Stage 1: We claim nothing happened; Stage 2: We say something might have happened, but we shouldn't take action.

 Now is the second stage~

  After all, Xiaoying and Yingjiang have a conjugated father-son relationship, and the principles are the same.

Although even the ordinary wizards in America have begun to worry that the Death Eaters will continue to invade the Americas after taking over Europe, the wizard officials of the Magic Congress feel that this is unfounded... At worst, if Voldemort comes, we will become food Dead disciple!

The Dark Lord needs someone to manage his territory, right? We are familiar!

The British side no longer cares about what the American wizards on the other side of the Atlantic think.

Ms. Bones and other officials at all levels are now stepping up contact with all forces and races in the magic world, hoping to unite all forces that can be united.

 Actually, we have had many contacts before, but now that the Ministry of Magic has fallen, what we said before is no longer necessarily the case.

 For example, giants!

The number of giants is not large, not more than 500 in the whole of Britain, and they are divided into more than a dozen tribes, scattered in various hidden magical areas.

 But giants were very unfriendly to wizards before—they were not very smart and advocated violence. He is also lazy, greedy and very unreliable.

They themselves sometimes fight each other for power and gain, resulting in many casualties.

Just when the Ministry of Magic contacted the giant tribe, the Death Eaters also sent people.

 They supported some giants who were leaning towards them and let them defeat the old chiefs and gain power, thus swaying to their side.

And because the Death Eaters have developed a great influence in Muggle society, there are really a lot of supplies and food.

 When the giants saw the piles of meat and bread, they couldn't move their eyes away. Very eloquent!

 In short, it's quite annoying.

However, according to Voldemort's conduct, bribery and wooing are a very disgraceful thing. If he acted the way he did, he might still have to rely on the Yin Giant to control them with magic.

 In addition to giants, there are also werewolves, vampires (vampires), goblins, centaurs, murlocs, merfolk, boars, dwarves, gnomes, elves, demi-humans...

There is no need to worry about werewolves. Nowadays, half of Europe's werewolves and several hundred more are living in Muggle society under Ted's arrangement. Some furniture factories, shopping malls and security companies.

　　Ted wiped out the restless werewolves early on, and then solved the problem of out-of-control werewolves and contagion. Now the werewolves are stable. This is our own combat effectiveness.

 As for the vampires, there are not many left in the UK. Except for a small number of vampires, most vampires don't like places that are too prosperous and advanced - they are more old-fashioned and conservative, after all, they are really old.

There are about a hundred people here in the UK. Those who are strong and can reach level 16 may only have two or three people.

 I wonder if the Death Eaters will go to them and ask them to stand in line. Let's not talk about goblins. The local goblins in Britain have been beaten and disabled, and they are all old, weak, women and children. Now the goblins in Gringotts are all from abroad.

The centaurs are quite stubborn, not to mention the Death Eaters, even the Ministry of Magic are not very good at it!

Although they really can't defeat these two sides, it does not affect their stubbornness and unruliness. Just dissatisfied!

 Let alone the centaur tribe in the Forbidden Forest, even those from other places would not take refuge in the Death Eaters, and might even start fighting with them.

Murlocs live in the water and never care about things on land. No need to worry~

The mermaids are in the sea. Except for the fact that the mermaid Ellie is studying at Hogwarts, which causes this branch to be biased towards the school, other mermaids will not get involved.

As for the quilboar, it's hard to say.

It's hard to say whether the quilboars will take a stand or not, and Ted can't tell what side they will choose.

These guys are exclusive and rarely have contact with the outside world, giving people a feeling that they are very difficult to get along with. Even if they join Voldemort, it is not impossible to take advantage of them.

 But how can I put it, if you are not of my race, your mind must be different.

If Voldemort can't tolerate even Muggle-born wizards, how can he accept a wild boar with a boar's head?

The Ministry of Magic can also give them some autonomy on a few hills. If it were Voldemort, these wild boars would all be consumables for magic experiments!

As for the dwarves and gnomes in Hammer Castle, it goes without saying that even if they can't move abroad, they won't be able to get together with the Death Eaters.

Not to mention the elves, those people are somewhat noble. If they saw Voldemort's face, they would probably turn their heads on the spot, and Voldemort would not explode on the spot!

 Aesthetically speaking, Voldemort has already exceeded the bottom line of elves.

The same goes for demi-humans. Death Eaters are full of malice towards demi-humans, a magical race with some animal characteristics. There were a lot of comments made ten years ago.

In the past few days, Ted has met with representatives or leaders of various forces to discuss cooperation with them, and those magical races have also sent a certain amount of combat power to settle in Hogsmeade.

Although it seems that the Death Eaters are powerful, the Ministry of Magic is at a disadvantage and it is really difficult to win. But everyone also knows that Voldemort will not tolerate them and will fight to the death!

Unconsciously, Ted will become a tall man, holding up the sky for others.

Hogsmeade is about to become a 24-hour construction site. Even the students of Hogwarts are carrying out some magic construction here under the leadership of the professor, building some magic defenses, and enhancing some magic buildings. A little effort.

 Some simply have their children in school, while their parents work on construction in Hogsmeade outside the school, waiting for the decisive battle with the Death Eaters. Even before the fight started, there was a tragic atmosphere.

 Ted is from China after all, and he has been organizing people to fight public opinion wars these days.

Although many Death Eaters also play Magic Network, the videos and pictures they post on the forum are very evil and cruel.

 Some directly broke down shops and led people to search their homes.

 Some even show scenes of capturing other wizards.

 In short, show your strength and arrogance.

Rich and wealth is like a night walk like Jinyi.

 I am pretty awesome, but if I can't show it off to others, it's like I'm just a little bit awesome, which is very uncomfortable, right?

And Ted used his tricks to highlight the arrogance, cruelty, and evil of the Death Eaters!

 Death Eaters will only bring destruction and death. If the world falls into their hands, it will only end!

 So, regardless of whether the land is north or south, and whether people are divided into Ireland, England, or Scotland, we should all pick up the magic wand to defend our homes and our lives!

Think about your wives, children, and children. Can you imagine that one day Death Eaters would break in and take them to an unknown place and torture them wantonly?

 Resisting the Death Eaters means protecting your family!

 From now on, all those who dare to fight Death Eaters will have the right to legally kill them. You can all get help in Utopia!

Ted has opened up some redemption functions (some props, potions, magic guides), as well as some auxiliary functions (temporarily mending magic, covering up traces, opening the whole map, etc.~)

In just three days, more than a thousand wizards made exchanges online, which also brought great trouble to the Death Eaters' rule.

 This is a vast ocean of people's struggle!

Voldemort's behavior of invading Britain with foreign wizards and monsters is naturally impossible to be accepted. Even some of the traitors who had been planted before now dare not advocate surrender, otherwise they will really be beaten!

 Many traitors find it hard to find a job now!

Although it looks like the Dark Lord is about to win, it's really hard to work now, especially with that crazy **** Bella who always posts nonsense jobs.

What do you do now and a hundred people are watching you? What do you say and a group of people look at you strangely? What do you dare to do?

What? Want me to assassinate the Minister of Magic? ! I? !

Made, for all these years, you haven't given me any benefits at all. I brought my own dog food to work for you. In turn, you threatened me and asked me to die?

are you human? ! brute! Beast~

However, there are still some people from Voldemort in Hogsmeade. In the Slytherin Academy, some parents had contacts with Death Eaters, and there were even people in the family who were Death Eaters.

　　When Umbridge was in school, there were also a group of opportunists who chose to follow her.

 In this situation, you expect everyone to be united and there is not even a single lackey, traitor or surrender faction. Do you think this is heaven?

However, these people are still useful if they are retained.

 The Death Eaters indeed suffered heavy losses in the previous tragic battle, and even their own people were frightened.

Now Bella wants to do something, but a group of people are holding her back, worried that this lunatic will risk his life if his brain gets hot.

 So there was only some minor friction between the two sides, and a small group of wizards began to grow hair in a vast area north of London and south of the Scottish Highlands.

You go to arrest a family of wizards. I have already discovered it through Utopia, and a team of wizards will attack you and rescue them.

You go contact the giant, and I will cause trouble for you along the way.

 You deliver supplies, and I will blow them up for you!

 Because of the existence of the Magic Network, the Death Eaters will suffer a lot when fighting the fog of war in the entire map.

 There has been no progress for more than ten days. Any Death Eater who dares to go out to do something will definitely be killed by a sneak attack.

However, a dozen countries in Eastern Europe are also continuously sending dark wizards and cannon fodder monsters to this side, and there are even many new undead monsters made by Voldemort on his whim.

Those Death Eaters were good at guessing the Dark Lord's mind after all. After Voldemort won the victory in the battle against the Ministry of Magic, he no longer pressed him and seemed very satisfied.

 Does he want to play cat and mouse and play slowly? !

At school, Ted saw many people every day. Apart from that, he only communicated with Neville.

Seeing the war resume, Neville is definitely one of the key points.

And once Voldemort joins the battle, it will be the final battle, and Neville will be an indispensable role.

 And there is another problem in his body that needs to be solved.

One evening, Neville was called by Ted to the school's covered bridge. He watched the students in the distance eating dinner and hurriedly walking outside the school to build the magical defense of Hogsmeade. The two did not speak for a long time.

　　When I was in school, I never imagined that there would be such a day - students who have not graduated will join the war! Voldemort should be damned!

Ted suddenly said: "Neville, I remember when you were in school, you said you were glanced at by Snape and the scar on your forehead was in severe pain. Later, it was found out that it was because of Professor Quirrell..."

Neville looked at Ted strangely, wondering why he suddenly mentioned what happened six years ago. But his instinct made him a little nervous, because back then, the face on the back of Professor Quirrell's head was that of Voldemort.

　　It was also him who pressed down on that face and turned Professor Quirrell into ashes.

Why? !

Now Neville is a big boy, young and promising. He has commanded his classmates to achieve great results in several battles. He is the first to charge and the last to retreat. He is trusted by his companions. He is no longer the silly little fat guy with a round face.

 He will naturally think of many things.

Ted said slowly: "There is a connection between you and Voldemort, a very important connection..."
