One Sneeze Destroys A Magical Civilization

Chapter 301 I'm in a hurry, you should go together (please subscribe)

Death, resurrection, death again, resurrection...

Accompanied by several hours of repeatedly entering the world of the soul, feeling the cold, desperate and dark environment that is enough to make normal people fall into despair and madness, even with Gellert Grindelwald's tenacious will far beyond ordinary people , and inevitably began to appear symptoms of trance and amnesia.

There is no doubt that this has reached the limit he can bear.

Especially the last two times, he even began to speak incoherently nonsense that others could not understand, and his eyes revealed a kind of numbness that could not be described in words.

At this moment, this great wizard who can be compared with Dumbledore may never be able to say the words "death is a great adventure".

Because the fear of death is now deeply rooted in the subconscious.

Whenever death befell him, he would twitch, struggle, and resist violently, and the intensity of his brain waves increased from dozens of times to hundreds of times.

Even without a magic wand, magic power and willpower alone can have an interference effect on the surrounding environment and substances.

Obviously, this is a precursor to the upcoming awakening of spiritual power.

As long as Grindelwald does not go completely crazy in this cycle of death and resurrection, then he may become the world's first psion.

Looking at the dense records in the notebook, and the experimental subject with empty eyes who couldn't speak anything, Zuo Si couldn't help sighing slightly: "Death is really interesting and fascinating.

According to the information currently available, the real world and the afterlife world are separated by a very special curtain.

No living person can enter it by any known method, nor can the soul inside be summoned individually.

Unless it is to let the soul re-enter the body and resurrect.

On the other side of the veil, there is no order, no so-called underworld, and no gods. What is there is just chaos and nothingness.

Eventually all souls will forget everything and fall into the endless abyss.

Maybe it's reincarnation, maybe it's some kind of recycling.

In short, after falling into the abyss, these souls will lose everything as a person and become another form of existence.

It's a pity that Grindelwald dare not approach the abyss, otherwise I should be able to know all the secrets of the afterlife.

But that's enough to know for now.

At least I have got the key to death, the next step is how to find and open the door. "

Just when Zuo Si closed the notes in his hand and began to pack up and take away all the instruments in the room, Grindelwald, who had been lying on the chair for a long time without responding, suddenly jumped up like crazy and shouted: "Ah!!! Stop...stop! Stop! Don't let me enter the world of death again!"

"Calm down, you are the famous Gellert Grindelwald, a great wizard who almost changed the whole world. What's more... the experiment is over." Zuo Si comforted casually.

Hearing the words "the end of the experiment", Grindelwald, who was like a madman one second, trembled and slowly regained his composure the next second, panting violently, while staring at Zuo Si with the eyes of a monster. It took a long time before he asked, "What exactly do you want to do in exploring the world after death?"

Zuo Si replied with a smile: "It's just out of pure curiosity, and there is no special purpose, at least not yet."

"But your research direction is very scary, much more dangerous than all the cutting-edge fields in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic put together." Grindelwald said with strong vigilance and fear.

Because in the process of repeated deaths just now, he didn't feel any hesitation or intolerance in the young man in front of him. His strikes were so fast that he didn't seem to be killing people, but crushing an insignificant insect to death.

That kind of extremely contemptuous attitude towards life is definitely not what a normal person should have, let alone a teenager.

And as a "prophet" with the ability to predict, he can't see even the slightest bit about Zuo Si's future, as if the other party doesn't exist in this world at all.

"No, you are wrong. Although it is dangerous to peek into the boundary between life and death, it is nothing compared to the time magic that Professor Crocker is researching.

In addition, I think that only by maintaining a strong curiosity can wizards go further on the road of magic.

Oh, I almost forgot, the research I'm currently doing doesn't want Headmaster Dumbledore to know too soon.

So - I can only say sorry to you. "

With the last word blurted out, Zuo Si raised the wand in his hand, and released a dazzling light from the front end.

Grindelwald's heart suddenly rang out, and he subconsciously wanted to use his silent and wandless skills to fight back.

But unfortunately, his movements were still too slow after all.

"Forget everything!"

brush!

After the strong white light flashed, the previous horror in the old man's eyes turned into bewilderment, and the magic power that had just been condensed quickly dissipated after losing his memory. He asked with a puzzled face: "What happened just now? Why is my house So messy?"

"It's nothing, we discussed some topics about life or death, which caused your emotions to be agitated, that's all." Zuo Si put away his wand and explained evasively.

You don't need to ask to know that he just used the Forgetting Curse to delete all the memories related to the experiment just now in the other party's mind.

Now that even Dumbledore himself came, don't expect to know the secrets of the afterlife.

The voluntary agreement that Grindelwald signed before was purely to ensure that even if this matter is exposed in the future, he does not need to bear any legal responsibility.

Simply put, it is the last accident insurance.

"Life and death..."

Due to the lack of memory, Grindelwald fell into deep thought for a moment, desperately trying to find relevant content from the messy memory.

But before he found anything, Zuo Si activated the nine-ring arcane magic [Memory Weaving] stored in one of the rings in a very subtle way, and quietly replaced the missing part with a false memory.

After finishing all this, he pretended to talk to the other party for a while, then took his leave and turned to leave.

Unlike most people who want to visit Grindelwald either because they want to know some secrets of the magical world, or long for the other party to predict the future for themselves, Zuo Si just wants to use his fearless attitude towards death to figure out what happens after death. What is the world like.

Other than that, he didn't want to get anything from this old man, including the prophecy ability called "Prophet".

Because compared to directly spying on the past and future through time magic, things like prophecy are full of too much uncertainty, and it is even possible to make wrong judgments due to some blurred pictures and dialogues that are true or not.

After leaving Nurmengard, Zuo Si immediately changed his whereabouts from the dark to the clear, and stayed in Germany for a while.

And this appearance instantly caused a violent shock in the entire European magic world.

Those ancient families and dark wizard organizations that had been targeting him immediately flocked to this country located in the heart of the European continent.

In just two or three days, conflicts broke out between these people several times.

During the fighting, a street inhabited by Muggles was even blown up, causing huge troubles for the local Ministry of Magic law enforcement officers.

The latter even had to send a large number of people to repair the damaged streets and erase the memories of related witnesses.

Just when the accident was settled and everyone in the German Ministry of Magic breathed a sigh of relief, a wizard from the Disaster Prevention Office rushed in from the outside and shouted out of breath, "No...no Alright! Those guys are on the streets of downtown Berlin right now!"

"What! Berlin? Are they crazy?"

The Minister of Magic instantly stood up from his chair, trembling with anger.

So fucking bully!

Since he knew the details of these people and the inextricable connections with those ancient families, he originally planned to turn a blind eye and close one eye, as long as he didn't make too much noise, he just fooled it.

But who would have thought that after blowing up a Muggle street, not only did the other party show no intention of restraining himself, but instead began to intensify.

"No! It's not crazy! It's just that they blocked the genius who created the second Philosopher's Stone - South. Minister, I must remind you that if something happens to this young man, it will be nothing The diplomatic incident that was deducted. Neither the British wizarding world nor Albus Dumbledore himself will let it go easily."

When speaking these words, the wizard of the Disaster Prevention Office was so nervous that his voice trembled.

To be sure, anyone with a modicum of political sensitivity understands what South's name means these days.

If he was really taken away in the street, it would definitely be a shame and a stain that the German magic world couldn't wash away.

"Call together everyone in the Ministry who can afford a wand at once!"

A dense layer of sweat appeared on the minister's forehead.

As an old man who first experienced Grindelwald's revolutionary wave in Europe and witnessed the rise of Voldemort and his Death Eaters in England, he would rather face a group of ruthless dark wizards than face a violent Dumbledore.

What's more, according to the newspaper, the blood of the Dumbledore family still flows in this young man.

So even at the risk of offending some ancient families, they will never allow any accidents to them, at least not on their own territory.

"But Your Excellency, there are at least forty of them, and many of them should be experts in black magic." The wizard of the Disaster Prevention Office cautiously reminded.

The Minister of Magic glared fiercely, and asked sharply: "Do you think we still have a choice now? Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and call people! If something really happens, it will be too late!"

...

Just when the German Ministry of Magic began to mobilize, a high-end restaurant on Kurfürstendammstrasse in Berlin has been occupied by more than forty masked men who broke in from outside.

As for the manager, cook, waiter and other guests, they were all kicked out by a repelling Muggle spell.

Only Zuo Si was unmoved, still sitting in his seat enjoying the delicious food on the table, as if he didn't take these sudden guys seriously at all.

Because he had already noticed that this group of people did not belong to the same group, but belonged to different forces, and there was no concealment of the guard and hostility between them.

After eating a beef roll, he gracefully picked up the napkin and wiped the soup from the corner of his mouth, then took a big sip of the juice from the cup, and then asked with a smile: "Don't you guys want to say something?" What? If I don't say anything, I'm leaving."

"Wait! You can't go!"

A wizard who had obviously used voice-changing magic stood up first.

Although her face is covered by a silver magic mask, it is not difficult to judge from the bumpy figure under the robe that this should be a woman.

Of course, it does not rule out deliberately drinking polyjuice potions or using transfiguration magic to change genders to conceal their true identities.

"Oh? Are you sure you want to do this?"

Zuo Si raised the corners of her mouth and showed a scalp-tingling sneer.

Before the witch had time to respond, he took out a portion of magic mercury that had been smashed into a crystal bottle from his bosom and said to the other forces: "I don't need to tell you what this is, you should all understand it. Whoever kills this woman and her companions for me will belong to this bottle of magic mercury that is enough to bring a person back from the dead."

moment!

The witch, who was aggressive just now, immediately seemed to be hit by a bullet, with unbelievable horror in her eyes.

Even in her dreams, she couldn't believe that the teenager in front of her, who looked only in her teens, could come up with such a vicious strategy under such a situation of being surrounded.

You must know that the reason why everyone present chased him all the way here was to obtain the magic mercury.

Now seeing this thing appearing in front of his eyes and within easy reach, it is self-evident what his reaction will be.

next second...

"Armor protection!"

"Damned!"

"Disarm you!"

"There are many obstacles!"

"Awada eats a big melon!"

boom! boom! boom!

boom! boom!

Colorful magic rays shot out from the fronts of the wands in an instant, blowing up the surrounding tables, chairs, and furnishings, and a large number of sawdust and plate fragments flew in the air.

Although Zuo Si himself didn't know which forces these strangers belonged to, they were obviously very clear about it.

So when the battle started, more than thirty people besieged the witch and his four companions.

Especially for the Killing Curse, in principle, apart from direct dodging, there is no counter-spell to defend against.

Therefore, there was an unlucky guy who was hit by the green light on the spot, and his whole body flew up and slammed into the load-bearing wall behind, and then died without moving.

As for the rest, they were not much better, basically all of them were overwhelmed by the overwhelming curse, either the wand in their hands was knocked off, or they fell to the ground and lost the ability to resist.

After all, in wizard battles of similar level, quantity is always the only criterion to guarantee victory.

Whichever side can tilt enough spells to the enemy faster in a short period of time will have an absolute advantage.

This is why Zuo Si immediately gained the attention of the entire magic world after he proposed the magic scroll and spell storage technology.

Except for top-level combat power like Dumbledore, Voldemort, and Grindelwald, most wizards have difficulty even fighting against two enemies.

No kindness or mercy!

A man covered in a black robe cast a cutting spell on the woman's neck.

puff! ! ! ! ! !

Dazzling blood spurted out of the carotid artery in an instant, accompanied by violent struggle and convulsions, and then fell to the ground motionless.

As for the blood, it was sprayed everywhere, turning the restaurant into a dark red purgatory.

"Good job. This vial of magic quicksilver is yours now."

Zuo Si did not break his promise, and immediately threw the crystal bottle in his hand to the other party.

The latter's eyes shone slightly, and he immediately reached out to pick up the bottle.

But he obviously forgot that he was not the only one spying on the magic mercury.

The moment his fingertips touched the bottle, the situation that had just calmed down suddenly broke out again without warning.

Only this time, the target of the siege changed from the dead witch and her companions to the man in front of him.

The only difference is that the man's companion was clearly prepared, and immediately activated a large number of magic scrolls that he carried with him for defense.

As a result, fierce fighting broke out between the two groups of people.

Some amazingly powerful blasting spells blew up walls, glass, and doors on the spot, and quickly spread from the restaurant to the street outside.

The Muggles thought they had encountered a terrorist attack, and ran away screaming, and the police patrolling nearby were also rushing here.

Obviously, when the matter developed to such an extent, unless the local Ministry of Magic came forward to work overtime to release the Oblivion Curse on all witnesses, it was absolutely impossible to calm down.

Seeing a group of black wizards and guys of unknown origin biting dogs, Zuo Si showed a playful smile, went straight to the witch whose throat was cut and took off the silver mask, and immediately saw a very beautiful looking girl in her twenties and fourteens With the face of the blonde and blue-eyed beauty, she couldn't help but sigh slightly.

"Oh—what a pity.

But who told you to plot against me?

However, throwing a bone at random can make these guys kill each other, which is really unexpected.

It seems that compared to the complicated intrigues in the Muggle world, wizards are still a little simpler, and they can't even see through such tricks.

Of course, it is also possible that they rely too much on magic, so they forget the importance of wisdom. "

There is no doubt that the bottle of magic mercury just now was the bait that Zuo Si used to test the opponent.

In fact, he didn't expect this thing to have any effect at first, but simply wanted to find out how many camps these people were divided into.

But who would have thought that it would directly detonate a fierce and endless battle.

Especially the three Unforgivable Curses, Killing, Soul Reaping, and Cruciating, these guys are more proficient in using one by one, and they can tell at a glance that there are many lives in their hands.

After all, the biggest feature of the Avada Kedavra Curse is that the more people it kills and the stronger its killing intent, the more astonishing its lethality.

For a novice who has never killed anyone before, when casting this spell, it is easy to fail to die after the spell hits the target because of insufficient killing intent.

In just a few minutes, this famous bustling street in Berlin was reduced to ruins in the battle of wizards.

Many buildings with a long history were turned into a piece of worthless rubble and rubble under the destruction of the Shattering Curse and the Explosive Curse.

As for pedestrians, most of them fled after sensing danger, so no ordinary people were injured or killed.

On the contrary, those policemen who rushed over to kill the terrorists, several of them were affected by the spell and fell to the ground and fell into a coma.

Seeing that the situation was beginning to develop in an uncontrollable direction, Zuo Si finally put away his spectator mentality, raised his wand and aimed at the nearest unlucky person, and released the compound spell he invented.

I saw a faint light flashing at the front of the wand!

The wizard's body began to expand rapidly uncontrollably, like an inflated balloon.

At first, the other wizards thought that this person had accidentally hit the swelling spell, but two or three seconds later, the loud noise, the explosion, and the splashing of flesh and blood instantly stopped the two sides who were still fighting.

Without him!

It is really the power of this spell that looks too bloody, cruel, and terrifying.

You must know that although many spells in this world can be used to kill, most of them will leave a whole body.

There are not many people who directly blow up people and corpses to pieces like this.

"He...he killed Staro!"

After a brief shock, a wizard immediately called out the name of the deceased.

When the other person heard this, he stopped immediately and said, "Idiot! Shut up! How many times have I told you, use code names, not names."

"But he killed my best friend!"

The wizard roared like crazy, and immediately raised his wand and pointed it at Zuo Si.

Just as he was about to say the Killing Curse, he suddenly felt a sharp pain at the junction of his right arm holding the wand and his shoulder.

Then the entire right arm was separated from the body, and fell to the ground with a snap, blood spurting out from the wound.

Almost at the same time, everyone heard a voice coming from their ears.

"Shenfeng Wuying!"

This spell, invented by Snape when he was a student, finally stepped onto the big stage of the magic world under the use of Zuo Si.

Seeing that his companion was seriously injured, the people next to him immediately rushed up to treat him, but found that several of his healing spells didn't work, so he cursed in horror, "Damn it! It's a black magic! The blood can't be stopped at all!" !"

"Your Excellency South! Are you trying to be an enemy of all of us?" the leading man asked sharply.

Zuo Si smiled and nodded: "That's right. In order to prevent the situation from becoming unmanageable, I have to get rid of all of you before the people from the German Ministry of Magic arrive. A lesson for the guy who made stone. I'm in a hurry, so you guys should go together."

"Arrogance! Do you know who is standing behind us?" Another female wizard stood up.

Just when she was about to reveal her identity, Zuo Si lightly waved the magic wand in her hand.

moment!

The woman's head was completely separated from her neck, and she rolled onto the ground like ruins on the spot.

The plasma gushing out from the aorta in the neck quickly dyed the robes and cloaks of the other people around them black and red.

Zuo Si, who used Shenfeng Wuying to deal with an opponent, said in a nonchalant tone like a normal person, "It doesn't matter which ancient family you stand behind, it doesn't make any difference to me. Want to leave alive. By the way, I took a little time to seal off the surrounding space just now, so neither the Portkey nor Apparation can be used."

"what?!"

"Damn it! Apparation really isn't working! We're stuck!"

"This lunatic wants to kill us all!"

"Don't panic! He's alone! Let's go together!"

"Anyway, the bounty for catching him is very high! At worst, we will split it equally!"

...

All of a sudden, this group of black wizards who were fighting to death before did not hesitate to abandon their previous suspicions and join forces.

Seeing this group of menacing rabble, Zuo Si suddenly showed a contemptuous smile, and directly cast the Imperius Curse on the nearest guy with his silent spellcasting skills.

After successfully invading and controlling this guy's spirit and will, he quickly issued an attack order.

"Thunderbolt explosion!"

The controlled wizard directly aimed at the densest crowd behind him and released an amazingly powerful spell.

The four black wizards didn't realize why the other side suddenly attacked them. As a result, their bodies were engulfed by the huge crimson fireball on the spot, and they screamed in pain and despair.

After the huge fireball ended, all of them had turned into black charred corpses.

The pungent burnt smell woke up a wizard who was almost involved, and reminded loudly: "No! He is controlled by the Imperius Curse!"

"Quick! Subdue him first!"

Another wizard also hurriedly raised his wand in fright.

Unfortunately, just as the two of them uttered the incantation, the same scene happened again.

It's just that the one who was controlled this time was the one who looked the shortest, and also successfully killed the two companions around him with a thunderbolt explosion.

The two people were silently controlled and launched a sneak attack one after another. This undoubtedly made this group of guys who were wary of each other lose the last ounce of trust, and they all distanced themselves and planned to fight on their own.

As everyone knows, this just fell into Zuo Si's arms.

He didn't even bother to do it himself, but cast the Illusion Curse to hide in the dark to control the puppets controlled by the Imperius Curse, and easily slaughtered this group of guys who didn't know how to use their brains.

Although some guys tried to escape at the last moment, they were killed from behind by Zuo Si who suddenly appeared before they could escape the space blockade.

After clearing the last enemy, he put together a large number of mutilated corpses and pieced together a creepy statue of corpses from the ruins.

Especially the arms at the top row, without exception, raised middle fingers full of provocation.

You don't need to ask, this corpse statue is sending a clear message to those ancient families rooted in the European continent. If you are not afraid of death, you can continue to send people, anyway, you will not show mercy.

It wasn't until Zuo Si left the scene and walked away completely, and the blocked space was finally released, that the people from the German Ministry of Magic used Apparition to rush to the scene.

When they saw the terrifying corpse statue standing on top of the ruins, more than half of the witches and a small number of wizards leaned on the wall and began to vomit.

It's not that these people have poor psychological endurance, but that the appearance of the statue is too curious and terrifying.

Especially the base, which is completely made of flesh and internal organs, even if it is far away, it can smell the pungent stench.

The support structure of the upper part is made up of spine and leg bones, and the ends are connected with bloody heads.

Above that are those arms with the middle finger raised.

Let alone in the generally conservative magic world, this thing would look so weird and creepy even in the exhibition hall of post-modern abstract art.

"Who... who can tell what happened here?"

The Minister of Magic swallowed subconsciously and asked the entourage behind him.

The latter immediately showed a wry smile that was uglier than crying: "Don't ask me, I don't know. But from the appearance, it should be someone who used the corpse of the deceased to shape the statue in front of me. You see, this head is located in France. The famous dark wizard at the event - Staro, and this one next to him is his friend. My God! There is also the daughter of the Colin family here. Minister, I think we are in big trouble."

"Immediately block the scene! Send people to clean the memory of all Muggles who saw this scene! We must not let the news leak out!"

The Minister of Magic was obviously panicked, and wanted to order his subordinates to suppress this matter first.

But who would have thought that a reporter with a magic camera had already pressed the shutter before everyone else, took a complete picture of the skeleton statue standing above the ruins, and then fled.

Early the next morning, countless newspapers and magazines spread the explosive news throughout the magical world.

However, because it is impossible to determine whose "masterpiece" this thing is, most of the media tend to be a dark wizard, and Zuo Si is classified as a victim.

After all, he is still a second-year student at Hogwarts, and basically no one would associate him with such evil and cruel behavior.

In particular, the British "Daily Prophet" used a large page to criticize the inaction of the Ministry of Magic of various countries in the European continent. Whatever the accident, we will do our best to investigate it to the end.

Needless to ask, it is known that Fudge, Umbridge and other officials of the Ministry of Magic must be behind this report, as well as the major families that have begun to enjoy the benefits of the Philosopher's Stone.

It is estimated that in their eyes, Zuo Si has long been a hen that can lay golden eggs, and it must be protected well.

As a result, less than two days after the news was fermented, a team of elite Aurors sent by the British Ministry of Magic came to the door and said that they would be responsible for the safety of Zuo Si's European trip to ensure that similar dangerous situations would not happen again.

However, unlike the fierce reaction of the British Ministry of Magic, both the French and German magic circles showed very ambiguous attitudes.

Especially those ancient families who participated in this operation, they all knew that the terrible corpse statue was created by Zuo Si to warn themselves, so they all chose to remain silent.

Through temptation, they have realized that the strength of this young man has far exceeded expectations, and it is impossible to seize the manufacturing method of the Philosopher's Stone from his hands.

It's as if in the process of trying to snatch the first Philosopher's Stone, he gradually discovered that Nicole Flamel's power was getting stronger and stronger, and finally chose to give up.

However, the abandonment of these ancient families rooted in Europe does not mean that the two Voldemorts also gave up.

When he saw the news that the British Ministry of Magic had sent Aurors to protect Zuo Si, the adult Voldemort immediately grinned and said, "The time is ripe! With so many people sent, the Ministry of Magic's current defensive strength must be very empty. We have to do The only thing to do is to pull up a team and launch a surprise attack directly on the Ministry of Magic."

"But the question is, where can we find enough people?" The young Voldemort asked back, frowning.

"It's very simple! Just go directly to Azkaban. There are many of my most loyal subordinates imprisoned there. It doesn't need to be many, as long as three or five are rescued, plus a basilisk, it is definitely enough to complete this operation." Adult Voldemort gave the answer straightforwardly.

At this moment, the two of them were standing under the ground of Hogwarts Castle, with the huge basilisk lying on their feet.

It is estimated that Dumbledore, as the principal, would never have dreamed that two Voldemorts appeared on his own territory, and they were still planning to go to Azkaban to rob the prison, and then raid the Ministry of Magic to steal the Sorcerer's Stone.

The young Voldemort thought for a moment, then quickly nodded in agreement, "Sounds like a good idea. But I need a few days to prepare."

"Hurry up! We must do it before South returns to England, otherwise we will miss the opportunity." The adult Voldemort urged in a serious tone.

"Don't worry! At most two days, I will notify you to act together."

After saying this, the young Voldemort turned around and left the Chamber of Secrets, continuing to use Gilderoy Lockhart's identity as a cover, and began intensive preparations for the prison break.

On the other side, in the Department of Mysteries of the British Ministry of Magic, Professor Crocker, who had just returned from vacation, noticed an abnormality in the Time Hall as soon as he returned to work.

In particular, the time node that was originally formed by the intersection of countless timelines disappeared out of thin air, which immediately plunged him into intense confusion.

At the very beginning, this expert who focused on the study of time magic thought it was his own illusion, and repeatedly tested it in the room with an instrument.

But the end result surprised him.

Not only did the time node disappear, but even the time barrier covering the room was collapsing at an extremely fast speed.

It won't be long before this place, which took several generations of people to build up for the study of time magic, will completely disappear from the Department of Mysteries.

Naturally, Professor Crocker did not dare to conceal such important news, and immediately ran to the office to report to Minister of Magic Fudge and Umbridge.

After listening to the report, the latter two immediately exchanged a look.

Immediately after, Umbridge asked first: "Professor, according to your statement, what will be the consequences of the loss of the time node and the collapse of the time barrier? Will it cause harm to reality?"

"Uh... there shouldn't be any harm. But the problem is, without these two things, the meaning of the Hall of Time will no longer exist, and I can't observe and study the mysteries of time as I like." Professor Crocker said excitedly explained.

"No harm?"

Fudge's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.

You must know that he was still worried just now, whether the collapse of the time hall would have a negative impact on him.

But now it seems that it is completely unnecessary worry.

As for not being able to study time magic anymore, does it have anything to do with me?

In fact, even within the Ministry of Magic, there is a lot of controversy about whether to continue to study time in depth.

If possible, Fudge has long wanted to stop meaningless cutting-edge research including time magic, and invest all funds in resurrection from the dead that can already produce benefits.

After all, the latter has brought a lot of disposable funds to the Ministry of Magic in a short period of time.

With this money, he would be able to raise the salaries of all the staff in the Ministry of Magic, give subsidies to wizards who were struggling, give more subsidies to Muggle and orphan students, and raise his own salary by the way.

In short, the British Minister of Magic has deeply experienced the joy of being able to throw coins when he has money.

Through the big coin distribution, his popularity and prestige are growing rapidly, and those who were originally dissatisfied with him are now turning to praise him.

It seemed that overnight, I had no enemies in the British magic world, and all of them were friends.

No way, the world of adults is so naked and realistic.

Professor Crocker obviously didn't know what was going on in Fudge's mind, but instead he answered seriously: "It is indeed harmless.

Due to the absence of nodes and enchantments, all time streams will slowly disappear over the next few months.

Minister, I must remind you.

If all this were to disappear, our study of time would come to a complete standstill, save for the few existing time-turners. "

"That would be great!"

Fudge subconsciously spoke out the most true thoughts in his heart.

But soon he realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and immediately changed his words: "I mean, that would be a pity. But don't worry, professor, no matter what happens in the time hall, we will pay you enough as usual Salary. In fact, during the period of your vacation, the salaries of all those in charge of cutting-edge magic field research will be increased by an additional 20%."

"What? A salary increase? And it's still 20%?" Professor Crocker had a look of surprise on his face.

You must know that the salary of the staff of the Ministry of Magic has not been raised for many years. The last salary increase was during the Wizarding War. In order to allow more people to stand up against the Death Eaters, the salary had to be set higher.

But after the war, the salary was reduced to the normal level.

"That's right! Minister Fudge managed all of this well. But considering the panic that this matter may cause, I hope you can keep this news in your stomach and never tell anyone about it." Umri Qi took the opportunity to make a request.

As the person who led Zuo Si into the hall of time, she has vaguely guessed the disappearance of the time node and the time barrier, and it is probably inseparable from the former.

But Umbridge didn't intend to tell anyone about it, not even his immediate boss, Fudge.

Professor Crocker nodded without thinking: "There is no problem with this at all. I was originally a silent man, and I had the duty to keep secrets for the Ministry of Magic. But the investigation of this matter..."

"I will personally be responsible for the investigation of this matter, and conduct it in secret." Umbridge immediately promised.

However, if you think about it with your ass, you can tell that she is dealing with the other party, and she has no intention of investigating at all. At most, she is just pretending, and then make big things into small things.

Fudge also echoed: "Professor, don't worry. Umbridge is my most capable assistant, and she will definitely investigate the truth. As for your work, let's put it aside for now and wait for the situation in the Time Hall Let's talk after you stabilize."

In this way, under the chorus of the two, Professor Crocker was finally persuaded, and quickly sealed the entire time hall according to the order, and no one was allowed to approach.

As for the remaining Time-Turners, they were all taken away by Umbridge and kept.

In Umbridge's view, Zuo Si attached so much importance to this thing, it must have unimaginable value.

After all, the latter doesn't even care about the second Philosopher's Stone that can bring the dead back to life...
