Chapter 580: Chaos

"Good news, good news!"

In the small town by the Milk River, Gilbert handed a piece of information to his principal with a happy face.

"The corrupt Magical Congress has finally met a challenger! The people now have great trust in a wizard named Susan, and under her leadership, the wizards who are trying to save our magical world have united! "

"I can't imagine how she did it!"

Gilbert walked around the room excitedly, his face full of excitement.

They had been hiding in this small border town for too long. It was rare that they took the risk to go out to find out the news. He heard such exciting news that he couldn't control himself.

"I'm ready to support her, although it's a bit risky," he even said a little incoherently, "We can't just hide, we have to tell them that Ilvermorny has fallen into the hands of the Purifiers, and the entire magical world is in a terrible state. All the situations arise from that side..."

"Yes," he looked at his principal, "I have to go, at least reveal the secret before they screw everything up..."

"What did you do?"

The old principal glanced at the professor he trusted most and asked, while taking the information from him.

"Let more silent people support them, let more people join the battle to protect the magic world!"

"Who are you fighting against? The Magical Council? Those who now occupy Ilvermorny?"

The old principal looked through the information carefully, leaving Ai Gilbert there, and after a long time he frowned.

"No, you can't go."

"Why?"

"Because she is too weak," the old principal put the information on the table, "I read the publicity about her deeds, and they spared no effort to promote that she is an ordinary wizard from the folk..."

"I have no prejudice against her because of her origin," the old principal said slowly, thinking as he spoke, "but it was too late for her to show her prominence..."

"Looking at those propaganda reports, it is true that she led many people to repel the conspiracy of the purgers. She even became the leader of the largest resistance force and the leader of the opponents - but, my professor, you Do you think our opponent is the kind of person who doesn’t know how to kill?”

"What if, I mean - what if she was assassinated?"

"Once she is assassinated, the resistance organization attached to her name will collapse, and this is not that difficult - if that happens, everything will be like a bubble, just poke it. There was nothing left after the explosion.”

“…”

"Leader...yes...leader..."

The old principal hesitated, and finally seemed to have made up his mind, "I have an extremely dangerous mission now, my professor."

"Please tell me, principal."

"To subvert the Magical Congress."

? ? ?

Gilbert froze on the spot, he never thought that one day his principal would say such words.

"Yes, they won't be able to subvert the Magic Congress, so we need to take the initiative to detonate the bomb."

The old principal sighed. Seeing that the Magical Congress was going to make the same mistake as him, he had to use dangerous tactics to minimize the harm.

"You contact the Thirteen, and after gaining their approval, write directly to Ilvermorny and nominate that Lady Bertha as the new President of the Magical Congress. I would like to know - if they get their best If they have something to look forward to, what else do they need?”

"Can…"

"There's nothing better to do. We can't watch internal strife happen again and again. That Susan -" the old principal hesitated, "when there is an incident in the Auror office, notify her in advance with a secret message to escape."

"No, I will do this..."

He shook his head again, "Your mission is too dangerous, too dangerous..."

"Sorry," the old principal looked at the professor he admired most, and suddenly used a petrification spell to hold him firmly in place. Then, with his frightened eyes, he picked up his wand and guided it along his right hand. arm, directly using an extremely vicious black magic.

The arm separated from the old principal's body very easily. Not even a trace of blood could be seen, only the dark mark on the wound could be seen.

"I'm sorry, Gilbert. Although I'd better die, I still have to do some things - but my wand, arm and this ring should be barely enough to make them trust you..."

His lips became extremely pale because of this black magic. "You are better at memory magic than me. You can fool him..."

"Go, Professor Gilbert, you have a great responsibility..."

——

"Prices have returned to normal..."

"Although the price of Animagus hair remains high, after the implementation of that plan, everyone's confidence in the Ministry of Magic has returned..."

William came back from get out of class and glanced at the prices on the black market, feeling filled with joy.

The aftermath of the attack on the Ministry of Magic is slowly dissipating. A Ministry of Magic that can start welfare programs in the midst of chaos gives the public the sense that everything is still under control - because the Ministry of Magic is still doing the right things.

This is the most important change brought about after the release of the improved Wolfsbane Potion.

As for the other things - that is, William has obtained the badges and master certifications of the Pharmacists Association, etc., it is just a matter of course. The biggest change they bring is that William can practice cursive signatures, and then when he signs them on the potion bottle, the sales price will automatically double.

Of course, if it is wolfsbane potion, it will increase in value by about three to seven times depending on the madness of the market.

But he doesn't have much time to practice those cursive signatures now - the Ministry of Magic's Phase I project has already begun, and Rita and Pettigrew's hair has been sent over, waiting for him to study the alien Animagus. After the matching ratio, submit the potion before the next full moon.

Again, the magic potion has a powerful effect, and the side effects of the finished potion are enough as long as it does not cause permanent damage like black magic.

'Take another look at U.S. black market prices before starting work...'

He looked through the rows of prices and found that instead of rising, they had actually dropped.

'That Susan is real...'

William marveled - a nation can be built through hardships. This wizard, who knows what level he is, is not only powerful but also good at organization.

It goes without saying that he is powerful - judging from the curse he carries, that Susan was too weak and had been killed by the Dark Lord a long time ago. How could she be allowed to be so arrogant now?

Not to mention organizational strength. Materials cannot be obtained by just opening your mouth. It is not advisable to use love to generate electricity. You must have strong organizational capabilities to operate an organization reasonably and meet its material needs.

That requires natural talent and a certain amount of later training, otherwise whoever comes will be busy in the corner. Dumbledore is already a genius enough, and when Professor McGonagall gave up his choice, he was also at a loss.

'I don't know if Dumbledore has investigated carefully - but having said that, the entire wizarding world is probably staring at that Susan... How did she suddenly appear? ’

In times of crisis, Thaksin appears to turn the tide, but if he is so good at logistics, he is really a bit embarrassed.

'Forget it, it's useless to care anymore... Even if the other party really has a problem, it is related to international affairs... It is better to improve the quality of the students first... The classroom for the next class has not been cleaned up yet...'

——

"Why are you here!"

The Auror who met Egilbert was stunned for a moment, and then decisively pulled him aside.

The Fontana family's signature is as useful as ever. Although Gilbert and the old principal are now wanted together, the treatment is still different.

"I'm here to solve the problem. Take me to a secluded place."

"Solve the problem?"

"Yeah, fix everything."

He nodded heavily.

"Okay, okay... although now is not the time."

The Auror who was stopped hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to take him away.

Soon, Gilbert saw the person he expected to see - the director of the Auror Office.

…

"You're kidding, your last name is Fontana! You know what that means!"

"I know, so I know what to do now."

Gilbert whispered his plan, "We have to take risks... If this continues, everything will be destroyed. According to the current control of the Magic Congress, we will be dragged down into the abyss little by little."

"But...that Susan..."

"She may be doing the right thing, but this rightness is becoming more and more critical. The turmoil needs to end - it is useless to cover it up like this. It is better to send that Bertha up directly and see what they plan to do. .”

"If you do this, I, you, our thirteen families, and even the entire Magic Congress will be completely embarrassed..."

The Director of the Auror Office hesitated for a while - he still didn't know whether Gilbert's inference was correct, and whether all the chaos came from Ilvermorny and Bertha.

Moreover, if everything goes according to that damn plan, it will be equivalent to leaving all problems to other magical societies to deal with - the price is not generally high.

"We can't even raise food, so how can we persist... If we give them everything, they will stop destroying and cherish everything, and only then will we have the opportunity to give him a knife when he is at his weakest."

"But this is how you plan to convince the others?"

"No, it's just you, sir." Ai Gilbert shook his head, "Tell them that we are here to protect the position of the Thirteenth Family - they are more interested in this."

“What about those who are unwilling to cooperate?”

"Kill a group of the most corrupt people, let go of a group of staunch people, and keep those who can accept it..." Ai Gilbert sighed. Now that things have happened, it is no longer enough to be ruthless. This is the old saying. The principal told him the last truth before leaving, "Then, we modify our memory to forget about this incident, and then communicate with Ilvermorny."

"you sure?"

"In Fontana's name."

——

"Cuckoo! Cuckoo!"

The hoot of the owl kept ringing. William opened his eyes and found that the surroundings were dark. He snapped his fingers and realized that it was only three o'clock in the morning.

'what's the situation? ’

He opened the window with a wave of his hand, and five or six owls flapped their wings and squeezed into his bedroom—which immediately cheered him up.

This is a communication method used in emergencies. Owls are used in large quantities to prevent interception.

He didn't even bother to put on his shoes. He walked over in a few steps with bare feet, unwrapped a letter, and then quickly read the information using the light ball he created.

[The Magical Congress fell, and the Aurors rebelled collectively! 】

[The strikers were forcibly disbanded and some surrendered! 】

[The former member of the Magic Congress is wanted! 】

【Susan is wanted! 】

[Bertha takes office at the Magic Congress and announces new laws! 】

Just a few lines of words made William tremble with fear.

'Are you kidding, both Aurors and Strikers...'

He anxiously opened all the owl letters, but found that they contained the same content.

‘Damn it, be more detailed, be more detailed. Although the salary I gave you was forwarded from the funds issued by the Ministry of Magic, I paid it in full! That's right, those galleons! ’

After waiting for a while and not seeing any other owls coming, he quickly changed his clothes, then walked quickly through the corridor towards the principal's office, even ignoring Peeves who was blocking the door lock.

After saying the password, he started knocking on the door of the principal's office without mercy.

About three minutes later, Dumbledore opened the door with sleepy eyes and looked at William with a look of helplessness on his face.

"what happened?"

"He did it, Professor."

William handed the note over, and Dumbledore took it, his original lazy look disappearing completely.

Before he could say anything, an owl visited his office and brought a thick roll of parchment.

【Wanted Order】

【Wanted Order】

【New Wizarding Decree】

【Curfew Ordinance】

…

William and Dumbledore quickly looked through these first-hand materials and found that there was still no specific story about what happened.

While they were anxiously waiting for the next letter, the sound of wooden legs rattling came from the corridor.

"I knew you were here, Professor William."

Moody was carrying a letter, his face as calm as ever.

"The Aurors in the United States took action. The descendants of the founders of the thirteen companies joined forces to attack a large number of MPs. The Magic Congress completely lost its armed forces... At present, the principal of Ilvermorny, Bertha, is already preparing for her inauguration speech. !”

Why is the news getting more and more outrageous?

William took Moody's letter from the Ministry of Magic and read it for a long time, but still couldn't accept it.

However, at this moment, another owl arrived, and it was Fudge's.

"Dear Albus, everything is just as you thought, it's just that the process is a little unexpected..."

"According to the information from the Ministry of Magic, Bertha used some unknown method to reach an agreement with the people in the Auror Office and quickly formed a new government..."

“…”

"I hope to visit you tomorrow and consult you on some recent matters..."
