Chapter 102 Grindelwald’s invitation (third update)
"I am ordering you now not to allow any resistance, and to conduct the test of the Appearance Spell together!"
Picquery gave an order, and the Aurors aimed their wands at Li Chuan and Grindelwald in two groups.
"In this case, then I will accept the test!"
Grindelwald narrowed his eyes. He knew that in this situation, it would be useless to say anything, but with his strength, it would not matter if he was really exposed.
Even if all these wizards were present, they wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
It only slightly affected his original plan, but it was inevitable and he could only think of other ways.
Now he just wanted to see who the guy across from him was. He originally thought it was Newt Scamander, but after contacting him for a while, he felt that it shouldn't be.
"Appear urgently!"
Two revealing spells were released together, hitting Grindelwald and Li Chuan respectively, and neither of them could hide anymore.
Due to the effect of the Apparition Spell, Grindelwald's Transformation Spell failed, revealing his original appearance.
On the other hand, of course, the Appearance Spell had no effect on Li Chuan's transformation technique, but Li Chuan himself formed a seal to cancel the transformation technique and returned to his original appearance.
He couldn't let anyone know that his transformation spell couldn't be lifted by the Appearance Spell, otherwise it would be untrustworthy if he tried to turn into someone else later.
As long as people think that he is using transformation now, when he uses transformation to disguise himself as someone else in the future, no one will be able to see through him.
"Grindelwald!!!"
Seeing Grindelwald's true form, all the Aurors and wizards in the delegation, regardless of whether it was true or false that they were sleeping with Li Chuan, took out their wands and pointed them at Grindelwald.
That way made them even more nervous than facing a fire dragon.
In fact, it's not their fault. How powerful is Grindelwald? I'm afraid except for the wizards at the British Ministry of Magic who have no experience, the wizards in the whole world know it very well.
In the UK, because Dumbledore was there, Grindelwald never made any trouble there.
The Ministry of Magic in many countries, such as Germany and France, has basically fought against Grindelwald.
In fact, even in the last joint siege, they were still unable to do anything to Grindelwald, and Grindelwald killed many of the rounded-up Aurors and escaped calmly.
Grindelwald's famous name was forged by his hard work, which is why so many wizards worship him, not only agreeing with his ideas, but also worshiping his strength.
"Grindelwald, you are so brave, you dare to pretend to be the Minister of Security. Where is Mr. Percival now?"
Picquery pointed his wand at Grindelwald angrily and asked.
She had previously scolded the Wizards' Union for having so many people rounding up Grindelwald, yet allowing him to escape. As a result, Grindelwald has now disguised himself as the head of security at their Magical Congress of the United States of America.
This really made her, the chairman, lose all her dignity.
"Percival, that wizard who is as corrupt as you, is already dead."
Faced with Picqueri's questioning, Grindelwald just glanced at her and ignored her in reply. Instead, he looked at Li Chuan who had returned to his original shape with interest.
"Tom Foley, the last member of the ancient Foley family, previously captured the dark wizard Manu Angel alone. Interesting, how did you know my identity?"
"I actually don't know your identity, I'm just good at transformation spells, and I noticed some flaws in you!"
Li Chuan, like everyone else, pointed his wand at Grindelwald.
Grindelwald looked at Li Chuan with a very appreciative look:
"You are very good, why don't you consider following me? In the future, we can stand side by side in this world openly, instead of hiding like mice in the sewer like we do now.
Do you really think that the so-called secrecy law is protecting us? It allows us to hide our true selves and protects those lowly Muggles who are like trash!"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Grindelwald, I can't fully agree with what you said. I'm sorry."
Li Chuan shook his head and refused.
From a wizard's point of view, he felt that there was certainly nothing wrong with Grindelwald's words, and that the secrecy law was simply unreasonable. Now that the First World War had just ended, why not make the Muggles surrender while their technology was not yet so advanced?
When nuclear bombs, missiles and other high technologies appear in the future, wizards will be exposed to Muggles sooner or later. It is absolutely impossible to expect Muggles to be friendly to wizards.
This kind of thing can be seen in the main world of Marvel. For people like Nick Fury and the top leaders of various governments, can they allow groups like wizards to exist?
Allow them to erase the memories of ordinary people with a forgetting spell at every turn, and allow them to independently establish a political power that is higher than ordinary people?
However, with his current identity, he definitely cannot agree to join Grindelwald. His current identity has been maintained until now just to stand completely on the side of the Ministry of Magic of various countries and on Dumbledore's side.
Moreover, he still needs to rely on today's battle to completely establish his reputation in the wizarding world.
As for Grindelwald, of course he will not give up just like that, but that will be a matter of another identity.
He can neither completely help Dumbledore defeat Grindelwald, nor can he help Grindelwald defeat Dumbledore, because with his current strength, whichever one he helps will be controlled by the other in the end.
Only by playing both sides can you gain the greatest benefits, and both sides can gain a relatively high status.
"Aurors, I think you can disarm Mr. Grindelwald's wand!"
Picquery listened to Grindelwald's inflammatory words and immediately ordered the Aurors.
Li Chuan was not swayed by Grindelwald's words, but that did not mean that others would not be swayed. For wizards, Grindelwald's words were too inflammatory.
Because basically most wizards look down on Muggles who cannot learn magic. In their minds, the status of Muggles should be low.
However, on the surface, the Secrecy Law protects the safety of wizards, but in fact it restricts many freedoms of wizards.
Due to the implementation of the Secrecy Law in recent years, many wizards have suffered.
And Grindelwald's words inspired their dissatisfaction with the Secrecy Act and the current practices of the Ministry of Magic.
Even wizards like Newt are actually not interested in the Ministry of Magic, and are very disgusted with the Secrecy Act, especially the fact that wizards are prohibited from falling in love with Muggles, and Muggles must erase their memories after learning about wizards.
It's just that he doesn't agree with Grindelwald's attitude of treating Muggles as inferior creatures, as well as many of his extreme practices.
Currently, in the entire wizarding world, there are not many wizards who truly fully recognize the Law of Secrecy. Most of them have a similar attitude to Newt.
