Half an hour later, Tom fell into a deep sleep on the bed and suddenly woke up after being licked a few times by the two dogs.
"Woof woof woof!" The two dogs barked several times, signaling Tom to go out and take a look.
Tom got up and walked out of the camp tent without knowing why. Unexpectedly, he was surrounded by four or five big men as soon as he walked out of the tent. A woman with heavy makeup in the lead forcibly removed Tom's wand, and the other men took advantage of the situation and took Tom away.
"Who are you? Why are you arresting me!?" Tom asked with a gloomy face.
"The French Ministry of Magic, Deputy Director of the Intelligence Section of the Auror Office, Messanne Ceroste", the woman with heavy makeup said coldly: "Mr. Riddle, according to the investigation more than ten days ago, you were suspected of participating in the destruction of important matters of the Ministry of Magic. Military facility, the French Ministry of Magic has officially issued a wanted order, we will formally arrest you and Miss Irina Ruffan, please cooperate with our law enforcement!"
Tom explained: "We did not destroy the 'Leak of Time'. It was the clown priest of the Eye of Danatus who destroyed it! We were just out of self-protection..."
Messanne Selost did not listen to Tom's excuse, but directly called on her men to escort Tom away: "If you have anything to say, you can say it in the wizard's court! We are only responsible for arresting you! Take him away!"
As they spoke, four or five Aurors from the French Ministry of Magic escorted Tom and Elena to leave, and at this moment a rich voice sounded.
"Meishan! I'm afraid you are not following the rules... The International Minor Wizards Protection Act clearly stipulates that wizards under the age of fourteen must be accompanied by a magical guardian before appearing in court, and cannot be directly detained under normal circumstances! Besides, Riddle Sir and Ms. Rufane are British wizards. Even if they are detained for trial, they will be detained by the British Ministry of Magic. Your French Ministry of Magic has no right to directly detain them!"
Messanne Therost frowned and turned to look behind her, only to see a fierce man with scars on his face standing not far away: "Pierce! According to the "British-French Extradition Treaty on Magical Matters", we can extradite and try him in the UK or in the UK. A registered wizard who poses a danger to the French Ministry of Magic."
Pierce licked his lips: "You still know it's extradition? You only have the right to extradite for trial, but you don't have the right to directly detain British minor wizards!"
"We'll take the people away first, and I'll take care of the rest of the procedures for you later! We have something to do, so let's leave first!" As she was about to leave, Meishan Selost looked very cautious and anxious.
Pierce: "Hmph! The Aurors of the French Ministry of Magic are really good at watching what others do! They stayed here for nearly two days, waiting for the professors from Hogwarts and Marquis Welfare to leave before they dared to detain you so-called Criminals! If it is really legal, why do you have to wait so long?
Moreover, according to the information fed back to us by Marquis Welfare, the British Ministry of Magic deeply doubts whether the French Ministry of Magic is still trustworthy. Yesterday, I reported the relevant information to the current Minister of Magic, Mr. Spencer Moon, as soon as possible. A specific decision needs to be made. The Minister issued a notice! Therefore, during this sensitive period, it is best not to break out unnecessary conflicts. "
"You!" Mei Shan's face was gloomy, and she finally looked not far away, frowned and said to the Auror beside her: "Let that girl go! I want to take this boy away... You always have to make me do the work. !You also need to understand the meaning above..."
"impossible!"
"Are you planning to break up with us completely with your current attitude?"
"It's a good idea!"
For a moment, the two sides were at war with each other. No one was willing to compromise. Seeing that the war was about to break out, an old and majestic voice sounded, and an old man with white beard and hair instantly appeared between the two.
"Pierce, you really don't know how to talk. Why would you go to war if you're so good?"
When Pierce saw the old man, he saluted respectfully and said, "Marquis Welfare!"
At this time, Meishan Selost's face became even more gloomy, and there was a hint of fear in her eyes: "Mr. Foley, we are only enforcing the law. Please cooperate!"
"Enforcement? Whose law is enforced? The French Ministry of Magic? Or the Eyes of Death?" Old Welfare showed no mercy: "Don't think I don't know what your senior officials are planning. Tom has the last key to the Tomb of Death." , you are bound to get it! I am not interested in the so-called 'key'! Nor am I interested in the politics played by the Ministry of Magic! You can't take him away today, so go back and bring something with you! If you want the key, let Burley Come to me!"
Mei Shan frowned and sighed: "Then are the Welfare family sure to remain neutral? Will the Welfare family give up the exploration of the 'relics'!?"
"The Welfare family has always maintained neutrality! But it is impossible to give up the exploration of the 'relics'! You are not qualified to know the specific reasons. If you go back and convey my words directly to Bores, he will definitely know!" Old Welfare looked at him without anger. Meishan and other Aurors from the French Ministry of Magic: "You can get out!"
"Farewell!" Mei Shan did not dare to make another mistake, turned around dejectedly and prepared to leave, and several people behind her also prepared to leave.
At this moment, Marquis Welfare spoke again: "I only told you to get out, but I never said I would let them go!"
"Mr. Welfare..."
"Death!" Marquis Welfare held the golden lion scepter and placed it on the ground. Then a gust of wind roared past. Everyone around Mei Shan was stunned for an instant, and then turned into fly ash under the roar of the wind and dissipated between the sky and the earth. : "Go back and tell Boreth that this is just to collect some interest! The clown priest dared to touch my grandson. Although he is dead, this grudge will be settled on your Eye of Danatus!"
"Breaking realm level!? I didn't expect that the head of the Welfare family was also a realm breaking level expert!" Meishan Selost sighed secretly, not daring to wait any longer before turning around and disappearing into a wisp of smoke without a trace. .
After Meishan left, Pierce was also shocked by the strength of Marquis Foley. It took him a long time to wake up: "Mr. Marquis, the minister hopes to cooperate with the Welfare family. We..."
"I said it! The Welfare family has always remained neutral! I have only a personal enmity with the Eye of Danatus. Don't think about coercing the Welfare family into this mess!"
After saying this, Marquis Welfare turned to look at Tom: "I'm still curious as to why Burres asked his men to take you back!"
Tom said a little cautiously: "Isn't it...isn't it because of the 'key' on my body?"
"We have already decided on the 'key' matter. Bores has already given me the method of extracting the 'key'. There is no need for him to have people guard the camp just because of the 'key', and wait until we leave to find the bad ones." There is a reason to arrest you!" Marquis Foley looked Tom up and down: "Do you have any secrets on your body?"
