The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 171

Ryan looked up at the place where the sound came from, and was surprised to find that Fernando, the headmaster of Castro Brusso Magic, hurried over on a broom.

Seeing Principal Fernando who flew to the yard to say hello to Ryan and immediately walked towards the shopkeeper, Ryan asked in surprise: "What's the misunderstanding about the person you mentioned just now? After he brought me here I was directly attacked by him, and now you say it was a misunderstanding, what is going on?"

At this moment, after Principal Fernando applied some herbal medicine to the wound, he began to treat the shopkeeper's wound with a magic wand. Ryan could feel the strong force of nature released.Soon, the wound on the owner's waist slowly healed.Principal Fernando stood up and was about to answer this question, but the shopkeeper next to him stopped him and said, "Let me answer this question. The attack I just made on you was a test, and the wooden thorns were just ordinary sleeping pills."

"Test?" After saying this, Ryan suddenly thought that the shopkeeper seemed to have given up several opportunities to attack just now. At that time, he thought that the shopkeeper was too old to keep up with the movements, but this was a challenge for a seasoned fighter. It's a bit unreasonable.But now this explanation is much more reasonable.

"Yes, it's just a test. But I didn't expect you to have such a big reaction, and you have such a dangerous magic weapon in your hand. I have to admit that I am still old and careless." The shopkeeper said a little weakly. "But I just want to know one thing. Your reaction is completely beyond the normal range. Can you tell me why?"

"Well, because I saw the saint's logo on your notebook, I suspected that you were trying to kill me." Ryan replied helplessly.

"Ah, there are not many young people who know about saints now. That's right, I was indeed a saint when I was young. But you seem to have misunderstood one place. Saints don't need to hide themselves, at least in The saints don't need this place."

"What? The information I checked is that after Grindelwald's failure, the saints also disappeared, so I always thought that they were kept anonymous because they were hunted down." Ryan said in surprise.

At this time, the old man who is the owner of the store has almost recovered. After helping Principal Fernando to stand up slowly, he tried to straighten his chest, then looked down at Ryan and said, "Before answering your question, can you tell me what you think of Green What kind of person is DeVoe?"

"Grindelwald?" Ryan felt that it might be important for the shopkeeper to ask this question, so he went through all the information about Grindelwald in his two lifetimes in his mind.Then he said: "I think Grindelwald's starting point is correct. When the development of the wizarding world can't keep up with the development of the Muggle world, if you don't do anything, you just sit and wait."

"From a historical point of view, after the outbreak of the first industrial revolution, the world of ordinary people entered a period of rapid development. This kind of development has achieved far more achievements than the previous dozens of centuries in just a hundred years. Grindel Watson was born in that era, and he clearly saw this. Against this background, I believe his original intention should not be for personal interests, but for the future of the entire wizarding world."

"Coupled with the overly stringent international secrecy law system at the time, many wizards had strong dissatisfaction. When Grindelwald first announced that he would break the shackles of the secrecy law, he gained the support of a group of wizards."

"But I think the solution he chose to solve the problem was wrong from the beginning. He thought that instigating an all-out war between wizards and Muggles would be able to gain the upper hand when Muggles are not fully developed, and use war to hinder the development of the Muggle world. In the end, let the wizard come out to rule the Muggles to solve the problem once and for all. To put it bluntly, when the opponent develops rapidly, he does not choose to follow the development, but chooses to kill all the possibilities of development."

"In his actions to achieve this goal, he was full of quick success and quick success: in order to induce war, he fanned the flames everywhere, killed the wizards who did not support him, and tried to cause a massacre in Paris. This situation naturally triggered the resistance of the wizards, When there is a world war in the Muggle world, there is also a world war in the wizarding world."

"Fortunately, in the end Dumbledore stopped Grindelwald, so that the wizards were not extinct because of the internal war before the Muggles found themselves." After synthesizing a lot of information he had read in his previous life, Ryan said The saint's face expresses his opinion of Grindelwald.But Ryan added when looking at the owner's face a bit ugly:

"But I don't think what Grindelwald did is useless. After all, it is precisely because of what Grindelwald did that forced the magic world to amend the secrecy law and cancel those harsh regulations. That's why today's magic world can absorb new blood and let magic The world is alive."

"I'm surprised you know so much about Grindelwald, especially for your age. I couldn't ask for better. But I have something here that you don't know. Do you want to listen to an old man now? "After listening to Ryan's summary, the owner said.

Ryan nodded excitedly. After all, there are not many opportunities for him to learn the secrets of the magic world.Seeing Ryan's excited expression, the owner cleared his throat and said, "I, Frank Skorzeny, a second-generation saint. Back then, my father was one of the first wizards to follow Grindelwald, and later became a saint. Commander of one of several elite action squads. Even Grindel christened me when I was born in 1925."

"When Grindelwald tried to destroy the city of Paris in 26, my father was at the scene. He clearly saw the scene of Grindelwald predicting World War II for them, because of the conflict with the Auror. So I entered stage of openly violent conflict."

"However, as you just said, Grindelwald's policies provoked a strong resistance. When I joined the Saints as a young adult in 1942, we were completely in decline. Tobruk, Volgograd, Kursk, Palermo, Rome, Cherbourg, Paris, Bastogne. I've been through every major fight the Saints have had in the late stages, but we have fewer and fewer opponents. Start The excitement and excitement also transformed the deep exhaustion and helplessness."

"The most important thing is that our leader Grindelwald also discovered the biggest loophole in his plan. In this all-out war, Muggles not only did not stop their development, but accelerated their development. And his war in the wizarding world Further weakening the power of the entire wizards. According to my father's memory, Grindelwald is no longer the passionate leader since 44, he just does some things routinely."

"I chose to duel with Dumbledore in 45 because at that time he had found that his dream would never come true, so he hoped to stop the wizard from continuing to bleed through a duel. At the same time, he also wanted to fight for the remaining loyal saints We found a way out."

"After the duel, Grindelwald chose to self-enclose in Nurmengard. Most of the saints were pardoned, and many joined the post-war Ministry of Magic in Europe and America. My father and I and some of the The saints who killed too many in the past chose to go into exile and vowed never to return to their homeland."

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper glanced at Ryan and said: "Don't look at me with that kind of eyes, I swear we just killed in battle, and there has never been any record of attacking non-combatants. Otherwise, the Ministry of Magic of various countries after the war would not Will let us go. But we test you this time, and it does have something to do with those former saints."
