People are in the heavens, wealth can rival a country

Chapter 253 You need a leader

When the sea of ​​gold finally solidified, the entire Ministry of Magic has been covered with a golden smooth floor.

At this time, the staff of the Ministry of Magic, as well as the people who had left and returned to see the results, re-entered the hall.

The high platform had already disappeared, and what people saw was a huge golden dragon sculpture.

Of course, the dragon sculpture is left over from Smaug's limited golden skin. After the gold wrapped around Smaug's dragon scales solidified, Tang Sen took Smaug back into the space of consciousness.

Opposite the golden dragon sculpture is a golden sculpture of Dumbledore.

The two stood facing each other, as if they were still at war.

And the magician and Tang Sen were standing on top of the giant dragon sculpture.

The magician at this time is naturally not transformed by Smaug. With the current level of Tang Sen's transfiguration, there is no way to quickly transform Smaug from the dragon form back to the human form. This is just the ability to create illusions and substitute paper figures Created fake identities.

Although Grindelwald and Voldemort already knew that the magician and the fortune-teller were one person, Tang Sen did not intend to give up their dual identities. , still needs to continue to study in Hogwarts Castle, and the plan of magicians to rule the wizarding world has just begun.

More and more people gathered in the hall, and they looked at the completely different scene in front of them with incomparably horrified eyes, looking at the Ministry of Magic covered in a golden coat.

Of course, people already knew the result when they saw the two people standing on top of the dragon sculpture.

Some people are happy, some people are afraid, and more people have complex expressions.

Tang Sen saw all this, and he manipulated the magician to speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen."

"As you can see, sadly, Albus Dumbledore is dead."

"I believe this is not the result that many people would like to see. I have heard about Dumbledore's deeds a long time ago. I know that he is called the greatest white wizard of this century. As the predecessor of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Principal, most of the people here were once his students."

"He is a good man, a man who has made contributions to the magic world. From the beginning to the end, I have no intention of harming him. I hope to be able to convince him. I hope he will walk with us, but unfortunately, he believed Grindelwald's words." Lie, choose to stand on my hostile side."

"He thinks that I am an ambitious man. My purpose is never to create a more brilliant civilization, but to rule the magic world."

"It's a sad misunderstanding, but I don't want to explain it."

The magician paused and looked around at everyone.

"Anyone who really understands my thinking will realize that change was never mine."

"I am just an initiator, not an executor. Even without me, the change will still not stop, because the executors of the change are present and absent, and there are thousands of people who hope to create a better future."

"No one can stop change, not even me."

"The only reason I'm here is because change needs a leader."

His voice became more and more passionate, and each sentence became more powerful.

"A leader who is strong enough to resist those opposing forces, a leader who is firm enough to never go the wrong way, a leader who is sensible enough to be rational enough that even if the opponent is Dumbledore, as long as he is in the way change, and never an indecisive leader.”

"So, I stand here, and I vow to lead all my colleagues to realize our ideals."

There were cheers in the golden hall, and these cheers dispelled the gloomy atmosphere caused by Dumbledore's death.

The magician watched all this quietly, and did not continue until everyone had vented their emotions:

"Ladies and gentlemen."

"I declare that I will take over the British wizarding world from this moment on, and I declare that any wizard who opposes change will become my enemy."

"Who agrees and who opposes?"

There was no sound in the hall, and even those opponents of the pure-blood family, looking at the golden sculpture of Dumbledore, did not dare to make any more noise.

They naturally don't know what happened in the illusory space, they don't know that Voldemort is involved in it, and they don't know that because the space is too narrow, Smaug's ability has been greatly enhanced, and Dumbledore has already wanted to die. will cause this result.

They only know what they have seen. The recognized most powerful wizard and the legendary Grindelwald join forces to fight against the magician, but they end up escaping.

The wizards really can't think of anyone who can fight against the magician.

The opponent alone is enough to suppress the entire magic world.

"It seems that there is no objection for the time being, very good, and I don't want to see bloodshed."

The magician continued:
"I need everyone to elect a trustworthy and steadfast colleague as the new minister of the British Ministry of Magic, to clean up the enemies in the UK for me, integrate everyone's strength, and accumulate strength to push the wave of revolution to the entire world .”

Everyone hesitated for a moment, and someone shouted: "We elect a magician!"

"Yes, who else is qualified to be Minister of Magic besides you?"

The magician smiled and said, "The Minister of Magic is not an easy job. I don't have that much time to manage matters in the magic world. What I want to do is to promote a wave of change to the whole world."

"Our time is running out. If we want to achieve our goal within three years, we need everyone to work together. It is not a rational choice to rely on me alone."

"Okay, now let's start the election."

It wasn't until dusk that the people gathered in the golden hall began to disperse.

The new British Minister of Magic is not anyone from the original Ministry of Magic, but a well-known Muggle social research scholar. The result of this selection is probably because believers do not trust people from the original Ministry of Magic.

Of course, Tang Sen no longer needs to pay special attention to the outcome. After what happened today, in the British magical world, no matter who is the Minister of Magic, he is the only one who really has the right to speak.

When the dust settled, in the twilight, there were only a few people left in the hall.

Snape was one of them. He stood in front of Dumbledore's golden statue, hiding his inner emotions with a blunt expression.

When the old man really died, Snape felt a rare sense of confusion.

He didn't know why the other party chose to believe Grindelwald's outrageous prophecy so resolutely. Even Snape didn't think that the magician had spent so much energy. After he really succeeded, he would choose to overthrow everything he had done. .

It makes no sense.

However, Snape believed in Dumbledore, there was always a reason for anything the old man did.

The last sentence he said to himself was to let himself stand in the camp he should stand in.

"In the end, even the last sentence you said to me was to let me continue to be an undercover agent in the magician's camp?"

Snape smiled wryly. He didn't know what was the point of continuing to be an undercover agent. An undercover agent who was not online, even if he obtained information, he could only bury it in his heart.

He remembered the conversation Dumbledore had had with him.

"I can't stop the magician anymore, Albus."

"But I will still find a way to save Harry Potter's life on the premise of completely killing Voldemort with the help of magicians."

He glanced at the other people who were remembering Dumbledore, and walked into the fireplace with a blank expression.

At the same time, in Malfoy Manor.

Grindelwald stood in front of a Death Eater with a grim expression, holding the Elder Wand.

The Death Eater's back was turned to him, a twisted, noseless face on the back of the smooth head.

"You have no choice, Voldemort."

"The magician is just using you. It is impossible for him to return the Horcrux to you. For his rule, he will eventually wipe you out completely."

"If you want to save your life, you can only choose to cooperate with me."

"Together we... kill the magician."

Voldemort's snake-like eyes stared at Grindelwald coldly, and spit out a hoarse voice: "The magician can't deal with me, whether it's the dragon or the magician himself, they just took advantage of the closed space .”

"I don't need to work with anyone."

"So, are you going to run away in front of the magician like a bereaved dog?" Grindelwald sneered: "Even if you don't have the terrain advantage, you still can't deal with the magician. The dragon cooperates with the magician's ability. never fail."

"Then it won't work if you are added." Voldemort said.

"So, we need an opportunity, a sophisticated plan, and an assassination." Grindelwald said lightly: "If we can find a way to make the dragon and the magician unable to cooperate, then it will be easy to defeat each of them."

Voldemort was silent for a moment: "What are you going to do?"

"Now?" Grindelwald paused: "We leave England."

"This place has been completely controlled by the magician, we have no chance here."

"And we also need time to find and study the magic that restrains the dragon. We also need time to relax the vigilance of the magician and create opportunities for assassination."

"So—" Voldemort reacted: "When the time comes, you deal with the dragon and I assassinate the magician?"

"That's right." Grindelwald said: "Go to the opposite side of the sea, where his tentacles can't reach for the time being."

"The magician has many supporters, he is not alone." Voldemort said.

"We're not alone either."

There was a dangerous gleam in Grindelwald's eyes.

"Don't magicians like to use the power of thought? Coincidentally, I am also good at this."

"Let the tide of change rise on the other side of the sea, but the leader is no longer a magician, but—me."

"For a brighter civilization!"
