"What do you need me to do?" Mycroft decided.
"Just cover up some remarks for us." John rubbed the ring, "We will resolve internal matters."
"You can also resolve internal matters. I think you saw those lists."
"They cooperate with that group of radical wizards."
The surrounding illusions gradually disappeared, and John said meaningfully: "You should know that the kindness I released is enough."
Of course, Mycroft knew the weapons that were enough to destroy half of London.
It seemed that those things were sent by the young wizard.
"What should I be called?" Mycroft asked.
"People in the magical world like to call me Lord Wick." John said casually, "You can also call me Silverhand."
"I think the cooperation has been decided, Lord Wick." Mycroft stood up.
John stopped moving his fingers and smiled: "Of course."
Last time Percy and the Prime Minister were on the same page.
But in fact, the two people behind it were planning a war.
After this conversation, although the preparations that should be made still need to be continued.
But he put aside the possibility of war for the time being.
If Mycroft does not keep the possibility of fighting at any time, it will appear that he, the minister, has neglected his duty.
Through the Floo Network, Mycroft left.
John said to himself: "Now I can let go."
Watson walked in, more than happy to wear a Puddlemere United shirt.
"Where's Mycroft?"
"He's gone back," John looked at the No. 6 jersey his old father was wearing speechlessly, and he hesitated, "Dad, why don't you change into another one?"
Watson was puzzled: "Why?"
"Because this dress is unlucky in Quidditch."
Malfoy, who was training at Puddlemere United, sneezed. He touched his nose and thought happily, "Atto must be missing me."
...
John got a lot of things out of Garland's mind.
And an operation to clean up the Saints began after midnight.
Ozzie Hilde and Striker take action, and the Aurors are divided into teams to capture.
Barty Crouch Jr., who was far abroad, also led the team to clean up and search various places on the map.
America.
Kim Ledisley appears in a warehouse.
The wizard guarding the warehouse was captured by his men.
The warehouse was full of weapons. He glanced at the names on the weapons and said, "It seems the owner of these weapons is going crazy."
France.
Charles Roland ordered manhunts to capture the Saints in Muggle areas of several cities.
The Saints resisted stubbornly at first, but as casualties and equipment were suppressed, those Saints quickly surrendered.
Followed by Germany, Norway, Finland...
The Ministry of Magic from various countries was dispatched, and they used thunder to clean up the saints.
If some saints realize something is wrong and run away, it will only be a matter of time before they are caught.
At the International Confederation of Wizards.
Representatives from various countries talked about their proud achievements.
Newspapers reported successes one after another, boosting the momentum of the wizarding world.
"Thirty-two Saints were escorted to the Supreme Arbitration Court of Wizards for trial"
"Percy Weasley Speaks: Keeping the Saints Uncovered"
"The happiness index rises, and new achievements of the International Academy of Magical Science and Technology are born"
"Gringotts announces complete closure"
"The First Magic Savings Bank was born and does not belong to any private industry"
"The Weasley Fireworks Show will be held on April 28th"
John looked at the reports coming from various places. In addition to England, gatherings of saints were also found in more places.
Barty Jr. successfully found a weapons cache, and Jin also
Some of the stolen weapons were found through his own abilities.
Without these weapons, the danger to the Saints was greatly reduced.
However, it is only limited to saints.
John looked at the connected dots on the big map.
He is relying on the locations where the Saints appear to form a five-corner area to search.
Nurmengard has been cast under the Brave Loyalty Curse, and no one can enter it unless told by the Secret Keeper.
More magic is set up in that place, and even the owl will be lost and unable to enter.
The methods used in Black's old house cannot yet be used on Nurmengard.
John frowned.
According to his statistics, the number of saints now beginning to decrease as they are captured and killed.
There are probably one or two hundred saints left.
These people cannot become a threat. As long as more weapons are found, the threat from these people will disappear.
The only one who can pose a threat is Grindelwald.
But the danger posed by Grindelwald alone cannot be underestimated.
John leaned back on the sofa, recalling Garland in his mind.
"Garland Earl'Neill, an outstanding graduate of Durmstrang."
Information about Garland comes to mind.
This is a young man who excelled in school. To be honest, it is even surprising that he will become a saint.
Because he did not grow up in a dark environment, on the contrary, his family was harmonious.
Durmstrang's professors also spoke highly of him, and during his school days, Garland's understanding of magic deepened.
He helps his classmates and often participates in the study of magic.
In Durmstrang's relaxed black magic environment, his research on black magic was naturally excellent.
However, he is not as extreme as Grindelwald, and his research on dark magic does not trouble him.
After graduation, Garland disappeared.
He traveled around the world.
He left his mark in the gathering place of wizards.
He was even awarded a medal for helping Aurors.
Such a person turns into a complete madman.
He never showed mercy to his former compatriots.
And the reason why he became like this.
John was silent.
"Make magic great again." He whispered softly, which is the slogan of every saint.
When did magic begin to decline?
Perhaps this has been the case since wizards had to hide from Muggles.
Magic is different from technology.
The magic they use now was created thousands of years ago and hundreds of years ago.
And if technology is missed by ten years, it is already a huge gap.
In terms of update iterations, Magic does not happen too frequently.
It can even be said that some ancient magic has more powerful abilities than current magic.
This is an advantage, but it can also be said to be a limitation.
The Delvers Association was born to make magic more powerful.
But this speed is too slow.
It cannot reach the speed of technological explosion.
In a hundred years, the entire world has undergone earth-shaking changes.
What was once a wooden building has become reinforced concrete.
The sword that used to be invincible now cannot pose much threat in the face of hot weapons.
The Statute of Secrecy protected wizards through those difficult years when they might be discovered by Muggles.
But it also caused a break between the wizarding world and Muggles.
Magic relies too much on its own strength, and it is difficult to surpass the energy of a country by itself.
It is also because of this that Garland wants to accelerate the development of magic.
"A group of martyrs."
John thought of Inge Griffiths.
The Polish Minister of Magic who was chosen by Qilin.
He protested against the old system and the over-reliance of wizards on magic to the point of blindness and even stupidity.
It was also Inge who became a martyr, completed the sacrifice, and shattered the wizard's blind obedience to the magical system.
If Qilin had followed Qilin's choice, John might not be able to reach this position.
Just like he never divided himself into the lineup of justice and mercy.
He resembles Grindelwald more than Dumbledore.
Selfishly, his choices will benefit himself.
For example, under the sweep of the Second Dynasty, many small shops were unwilling to obey and went bankrupt.
Sacrifice seemed essential to John.
There is a certain amount of resources in this world, and the more you get, it means that others will be harmed.
"You need a hero."
John looked at the ceiling, with a very sarcastic smile on his lips, "So you have to create a hero, right?"
Martyr?
So confident, so strong-minded.
They don't care, or are just doing the final craziness.
Either a hero will be born in the flames and ruins, or he will be completely destroyed in the flames along with the ruins.
This is a huge gamble, and the entire magical world is on the line.
"It's a pity that you can't make me feel pity." John's sneer disappeared. He raised his hand expressionlessly and looked at the silver ring and emerald stone on his finger. "Kill them all. This is what I will do."
pity?
Those who died were sacrificed as they deserved.
John doesn't care.
But what shouldn't be the case is that the people he values have also become sacrifices to make magic great again.
John closed his eyes, "The price cannot be less, this is an equal exchange."
...
The captured saints were sent to the Supreme Arbitration Court of Wizards.
After trial, the lightest sentence was life imprisonment.
Azkaban welcomes new residents.
There are countless tortures that make life worse than death, waiting for those unlucky ghosts who violate magical laws.
Even death will be an enviable relief.
As they entered, two more people were leaving happily.
Their bodies were more than one circle wider. Old Crabbe and Old Goyle, who had regained their freedom, got on the carriage home with the belief of loyalty to the second king.
Their families prepared sumptuous food at home.
...
