The Admiral of Hogwarts

Ship girls are indeed pure warriors, but when they don't actively put themselves into a mechanized mindset, they often have personalities that match their appearance.

Compared to the older sister personalities of those large battleship ship girls, the mindsets of destroyer ship girls are more like children, so they naturally cried out in surprise when they suddenly saw the skeletons.

A dozen minutes later, Hugo, protected by several layers of protective magic cast by the ship girls, arrived in this room under Enterprise's protection.

By this time, the skeletons that had been sitting around the table had been quickly wrapped up by the ship girls using canvas bags made from their on-hand snacks and placed on the ground, while other relics were placed on the table in the room.

"What exactly happened here just now?" Hugo asked Saint George, who had just finished a simple prayer and stood up. "Also, what exactly did these people do?"

"It was just that the Cossacks were startled when they first came in by the skeletons sitting in the chairs." Saint George shook her head slightly and said, "As for these skeletons, they should be the elites of the Wizengamot Party back then."

Then, Saint George sent Hugo the conclusions she had deduced from the things found here and the information everyone had discovered through the Admiral Network.

After carefully examining the things Saint George sent him, Hugo quickly figured out what had happened here half a century ago.

This place was one of the few most core bases of the Wizengamot Party back then, providing a large amount of core equipment and supplies to the Wizengamot Party during the war.

After the failure of that crucial duel, the Wizengamot Party, which still maintained its basic organization, quickly went underground and began preparing for its return in the future.

As part of those preparations, this circular underground hall where Hugo and the others are now was built by these core exiles of the Wizengamot Party at that time.

Because those Wizengamot Party members believed that although they had temporarily failed, their leader Grindelwald would one day return like lightning, leading them to re-establish the wizarding golden age promised to them.

So, under this circumstance, they built a fictitious kingdom here. A kingdom—perhaps one that would never be realized—and fantasized about ruling this kingdom. This is why Hugo saw those signs on the doors of these rooms.

However, in the end, these core Wizengamot Party members gave up everything: because their plan to rescue Grindelwald failed.

Although in a carefully planned attack, they successfully broke through the magical defenses around Nurmengard set up by various European Ministries of Magic and met Grindelwald, Grindelwald refused to leave with them.

Not only that, Grindelwald even admitted his failure in front of them. And this approach completely struck a blow to those core members of the Wizengamot Party.

For this group of core members, Grindelwald himself and the path he pointed out were the only pillars in their spirits. And when Grindelwald personally admitted his failure, this pillar collapsed.

So, after leaving Nurmengard, they came to the base in the Narvik mountains of Norway with some kind of vengeful mentality, preparing to gather people again to attack Durmstrang.

But just as they were planning, this exposed base was jointly attacked by the Swedish Ministry of Magic, the Finnish Ministry of Magic, and the Danish Ministry of Magic.

It must be said that the remaining Wizengamot Party members were also elites in spellcasting. Therefore, in cooperation with the troops originally stationed at this base and some scattered people who came, they caused huge losses to those attackers.

But because the casualties in the process of attacking Nurmengard before were too heavy, this group of members still failed to resist those Aurors and Hit Wizards in the end. In the end, they had to withdraw from that base and flee separately.

As for the box with the specific location of this area that Hugo and the others found before, it was used by the Wizengamot Party for those secret intelligence personnel back then, in order to facilitate their emergency evacuation.

Unfortunately, the secret intelligence personnel corresponding to this box exposed their identity in a conflict and died while resisting arrest, so this box was naturally forgotten everywhere.

Finally, this group of core Wizengamot Party members retreated to this base. After calming down, they quickly realized that their last hope had been shattered, everything—everything was over.

In this despair, adhering to the idea of minimizing bloodshed for wizards as much as possible, most of the wizards who had worked here cleaned up their memories of this period with the Obliviate Charm, and then randomly placed them in various places.

Of course, as Wizengamot Party members who were almost all stained with blood, they also did not forget to kill a few guys who had mastered too many secrets at the end, and then categorize and seal up all the treasures they had obtained before.

The reason why this group of people sealed up those treasures is also very simple, because they believed that this secret base could not be discovered by anyone in a short time.

So, as magical supremacists, they hoped to preserve this precious magical knowledge and re-circulate it in this world in an era when a certain wizard would gain world power in the future.

According to their vision, this time should be 300 years after the undead creature made from the Kraken outside had completely turned into a pile of rotten flesh.

They believed that by that time, wizards who had developed to a new height would be able to break through the surrounding storms and come here, and obtain exquisite inheritance from them.

After making all the preparations, the only remaining people gathered in this room marked with the International Confederation of Wizards and committed suicide by taking poison.

Because for these people, after Grindelwald admitted his failure and refused to leave with them, their only spiritual pillar collapsed, becoming no different from walking corpses.

"Draught of Living Death." Just after Hugo finished browsing these records in the Admiral Network, Indomitable also analyzed something from the dried residue in the silver cup on the table.

"These people are much more determined than we thought. This potion only needs one drop to kill hundreds of people, and it takes effect in less than a second. If they choose to drink this potion, they have no chance to regret it."

Here, I have to say how much Voldemort failed as a person. Compared with the loyalty of the group of people under Grindelwald back then, Voldemort's subordinates can be regarded as a rabble.

At least after Voldemort hung up for the first time, no one except Bellatrix was willing to take the initiative to find him, or to be precise, the people who were willing to fight to the death for Voldemort could probably be counted on one hand.

After sighing for a while in front of these body bags about the difference between the two generations of Dark Lords, Hugo raised his head and asked Enterprise beside him. "By the way, I saw in the information that these people sealed up a lot of treasures, have you found them now?"

"Found them, come with me." Enterprise nodded, then signaled Hugo to follow her towards the wall farthest from the door in this room. And there, Indomitable and Formidable were chiseling the wall with tools.

Because according to the information just obtained, these people hid all the wealth they possessed behind this stone wall before they died.
