Charlotte really didn't want to listen to his nonsense. He didn't think this man had any achievements in magic.
"Professor, when will the people from the British Ministry of Magic come? If we rely on these people alone, I think the situation may not be optimistic."
"There is no support from the British Ministry of Magic."
Hearing this, Charlotte turned her head and looked at Crazy-Eye Moody in surprise.
He remembered that it was Mad-Eye Moody who went to see Scrimgeour in person yesterday. Logically, Scrimgeour should not have remained indifferent after learning the news about Grindelwald.
"Cornelly Fudge believes that the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic should not rashly come to Bulgaria because of a prophecy." Mad Eye Moody sneered and continued, "Because this time they are protecting vampires, he is afraid that someone will use this as an excuse to threaten his position as Minister."
Charlotte sighed softly, probably there were more reasons than just these.
The person Cornelius Fudge feared the most was Dumbledore, because Dumbledore's prestige and reputation in the wizarding world were so high that almost all wizards knew his name and the great things he had done.
Although Cornelius Fudge is the Minister of Magic, his words may not even match Dumbledore's.
In his view, Dumbledore was the biggest threat to his re-election as Minister of Magic.
"Mr. Moody, do we have any good plans to deal with Grindelwald now?"
"no!"
Mad-Eye Moody shook his head and said with a very grim expression, "Originally, Dumbledore and I planned to wait for Scrimgeour to bring reinforcements, and then we would set up an ambush and defeat Grindelwald by surprise. But now... now we have to think of other ways. I hope that fat man can be used."
"But there is another possibility, that is, Grindelwald has already known about our arrival, and he should give up the plan to attack Street."
Charlotte looked at Dumbledore again and saw that he remained silent.
Could it be that Dumbledore, who is always resourceful, is helpless this time?
Grindelwald is really disgusting. He now has the initiative firmly in his hands. If he wants to fight, he will fight. If he doesn't want to fight, he won't even show his shadow. You guys can only worry.
At this time, Dumbledore, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said:
"Mr. Logrides, you don't need to make a special trip this time. Grindelwald's main purpose in attacking the Streeter family is to obtain the Eye of Cyclops. Mr. Antonio has given me this crystal ball."
When he said this, a blue-purple crystal ball suddenly appeared in Dumbledore's hand.
The shape of this crystal ball is extremely gorgeous, with a flickering nebula in the middle. You can tell at a glance that it is of great value.
Looking at the crystal ball, Charlotte was stunned for a moment, but the next moment he understood Dumbledore's true intention behind this scene. He could only say that the old ones were the most experienced and had figured out a way to break the impasse so quickly.
"According to Mr. Antonio's will, I will be the one to destroy it after his death, otherwise it will continue to bring misfortune to the Streeter family. So, I plan to destroy it when the moon rises tonight. Without it, Grindelwald will naturally have no need to attack the Streeter family," said Dumbledore.
When Logridos saw the crystal ball, his eyes almost popped out of his head. He subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch it, but was frightened by Dumbledore's look.
He quickly explained:
"I'm sorry, Professor Dumbledore. I just wanted to see this legendary object. I didn't expect... I really didn't expect that this thing actually exists in the world.
I have a suggestion. If the Streeter family feels that the Eye of Cyclops will bring them disaster, we can move it to the Ministry of Magic in Bulgaria. It is absolutely safe there, and Grindelwald would not dare to cause trouble in the Ministry of Magic. What do you think, Professor?"
Hearing this, Dumbledore shook his head seriously and said:
"No, I cannot agree to this request. The Eye of Cyclops is Street's private property. I can only abide by Mr. Antonio's last wish and destroy it!"
At this moment, a slightly angry voice sounded in the hall.
Robert stood up with a gloomy face. He looked at Dumbledore and Logriders and said:
"I don't agree to destroy the Eye of Cyclops. This is our Streeter family's inheritance and cannot be destroyed. Professor Dumbledore, you just said that this is our family's private property, so please return it to us!"
Chapter 52: Long time no see, old friend!
"Uncle Robert!"
Qiao Ya came out. After taking a look at the crystal ball in Dumbledore's hand, she said to Robert, "Are you going to oppose the last wish of Patriarch Antonio?"
Hearing this, Robert's face froze for a moment, and then he said:
"That's not the case. After all, the Eye of Cyclops is an heirloom of the Street family. If it is destroyed like this..."
"Perhaps the Street family was able to survive to this day because of the Eye of Cyclops, but now the Street family is about to be destroyed because of it. Destroying it is the best choice!" said Qiao Ya.
Robert and Rogerides wanted to say something, but Qiao Ya didn't even give them a chance and turned around and walked upstairs.
Charlotte also left the living room with Dumbledore and Mad-Eye Moody.
He knew that Dumbledore was putting on such a show in front of everyone just to force Grindelwald to take action, because the other party's goal was the Eye of Cyclops, and if you didn't come, I would destroy it.
But what Charlotte didn't know was how Dumbledore was sure that the news of his destruction of the Eye of Cyclops would reach Grindelwald.
After returning to the room, Charlotte asked this question.
Dumbledore explained casually:
"Grindelwald is a very meticulous person. He likes to plan things out before he acts. He must have spies in this castle. They could be Aurors from the Bulgarian Ministry of Magic, or they could be members of the Streeter family. I prefer the former."
"Boom boom boom!"
As the three were talking, there was a knock on the door.
Dumbledore waved his hand, and the door of the room opened automatically. Qiao Ya walked straight in. Dumbledore said with a serious expression:
"If my prediction is correct, Grindelwald will definitely come before tonight. Tell Carina and your father to be ready to open the castle's magic barrier at any time. Also, be careful of the people around you, as they could all be Grindelwald's spies!"
"I understand, Professor." Qiao Ya nodded and said, "Professor, whether Grindelwald comes tonight or not, I hope you can destroy the Eye of Cyclops as soon as possible. It has become the Sword of Damocles hanging over our heads!"
"Don't worry, I will do it!"
After Qiao Ya left, Mad Eye Moody said:
"Dumbledore, even with the magic barrier, our chances of winning are still slim. In fact, there is really no need for us to stay here. The best way is to suggest that the Street family evacuate immediately."
Dumbledore said:
"I have never thought about defeating Grindelwald, and this matter is not as complicated as you think. In fact, Antonio has already told us the solution yesterday."
"Destroy the Eye of Cyclops in public!" said Charlotte.
"That's right!"
The key factor that triggered this conflict was the Eye of Cyclops. If it was destroyed in front of Grindelwald, he would have no reason to attack Street.
As for whether this would make Grindelwald angry or not, that was none of Charlotte's business, and Dumbledore would naturally be the one to solve it.
And at this time.
In a private house in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, Grindelwald frowned slightly after hearing the report from his subordinates.
Reina who was standing behind him said in a deep voice:
"What should we do, Boss? If Dumbledore really destroyed the Eye of Cyclops, wouldn't our trip be in vain?"
At this time, a burly man with a hideous scar on his face stood up and said:
"Boss, I'll take my men over right now, kill them all without leaving a single one alive, and help you get the Eye of Cyclops back!"
Grindelwald raised his hand to stop the two of them. After a moment of silence, he said:
"He is forcing me to show up. Dumbledore wants to destroy the Eye of Cyclops in front of me. He wants me to give up. I haven't seen him for so many years, but he is still so sharp and decisive!"
When Reina heard this, her face suddenly became troubled.
Their original plan was to wear out the patience of Dumbledore and the others first, and then take down the Streeter family by surprise.
Unexpectedly, Dumbledore solved the dilemma with just one sentence, leaving them in a dilemma. If they couldn't get the Eye of Cyclops, they would be in vain.
After a few seconds, Grindelwald suddenly laughed and said:
"Since he wants me to show up, then I will do as he wishes. Let me see if Dumbledore's ability has improved after not seeing him for decades!"
Hearing this, the scarred man's mouth curled up wildly, revealing a mouthful of black and yellow teeth, and laughed:
"Boss, when are we leaving?"
"Let's go now. Today is a sunny day, it's a good time to kill vampires!" Grindelwald said, "Magnus, I want no one from the Streeter family to be left behind!"
"No problem, boss!"
Before he finished his words, the scarred man Magnus turned into a ball of strange black wind and quickly disappeared in the courtyard.
Reina asked in confusion:
"Boss, what about the Eye of Cyclops? What if they really destroyed it?"
Grindelwald smiled slightly and said:
"Who says that what I want must be the Eye of Cyclops?"
After saying this, in front of Reina's puzzled eyes, Grindelwald turned into a gust of dark strange wind and flew towards the horizon without any cover.
Immediately afterwards, dozens of figures followed him and flew towards the horizon.
On the other side is Strett Castle.
A very young vampire saw a strange black wind appearing in the distant sky through the attic window, and she screamed subconsciously.
"Enemy attack!"
In just a moment, a light blue magic barrier enveloped the castle from all sides.
Charlotte, Qiao Ya, Logrides and others quickly appeared in the open space outside the castle. In the distant sky, a strange black wind that covered the sky and the sun was flying towards the castle quickly.
Seeing the strange black wind, Dumbledore frowned and his face looked very ugly.
When Charlotte on the side saw this scene, his expression was extremely surprised. He recognized the strange black wind. Wasn't this the Obscurus? Could it be that Grindelwald had found a way to control the Obscurus?
Soon, the sky above the castle was completely blocked by a strange black wind, and the whole world seemed to have entered night.
Whoosh!
The strange black wind suddenly shrank, and the sky and the earth regained light again. The strange wind swept across the ground, and hundreds of black wizards with different shapes but all wearing black robes appeared in front of everyone.
After the strange wind swirled for a while, it turned into the appearance of Grindelwald floating in the air. He looked down at Dumbledore and said with a smile:
"Long time no see, old friend!".
Chapter 53: Who gave you such confidence?
Dumbledore did not speak. He just looked at Grindelwald, whose appearance remained unchanged, with a complicated expression.
The two were once the closest friends and partners, but they broke up completely because of their different ideas. Now that they meet again, Dumbledore's mood is extremely complicated.
At this time, Grindelwald gathered the black mist around him and slowly fell to the ground. He looked at Dumbledore and said:
"See, Albus? I have successfully mastered the power of the Obscurus. Its power is beyond your imagination. It has no limits. If you become an Obscurus like me, I guarantee that you will have power that even Merlin, the god of magic, cannot match!"
"The Obscurus should not have appeared in this world!" Dumbledore frowned and said, "Gellert, you should know better than me how the Obscurus was formed!"
Dumbledore hated the Obscura very much.
This dark creature is formed in a very special environment. When a young wizard suffers physical or mental trauma and is forced to suppress his magic power, the young wizard will feel extremely painful emotions at this time, and the Obscura is the product of this extreme negative emotion.
It can be said that behind every silent death is a tragedy.
Dumbledore's sister, Ariana Dumbledore, is an Obscurial who is parasitized by the Obscurus.
Grindelwald opened his arms and said loudly:
"Of course I know how the Obscurus was formed, and I will make creatures like the Obscurus completely disappear from this world, because in the future, wizards will be supreme beings, and Muggles will only be worthy of being slaves!"
"Albus, I will let everyone see that the choice I made is the right one!"
After saying this, Grindelwald seemed to have exhausted all his patience. He looked at everyone in the magic circle with a sneer on his face.
"Give me the Eye of Cyclops, or I will make the entire Streeter family disappear completely. Albus, you know very well that I always keep my word. I advise you not to resist any longer. No wizard cares about the life or death of a vampire. Otherwise, why do you think the Ministry of Magic has not sent Aurors to rescue them?"
"Not only wizards, but even Muggles regard you as aliens and want to get rid of you as soon as possible. I don't understand what you are holding on to, the glory of the Streeter family? It's really stupid!"
"As long as you hand over the Eye of Cyclops to me, I promise to manage it together with you. After I establish a new order, vampires will have the same status as the five wizards!"
These words were spoken with great passion.
Even Charlotte couldn't help but feel a little moved after hearing this, not to mention some vampires in the Street family. Their originally determined eyes began to show a little hesitation.
Since ancient times, vampires have been synonymous with evil in people's minds, and every time they appear, they are spurned like a rat crossing the street.
Although there are indeed evil vampires among vampires, just like there are many evil black wizards among wizards, most vampires also want to integrate into the life of normal people and do not want to hide in the mountains and forests and live like rats.
However, this is just a luxury, as most wizards are still prejudiced.
Just as Grindelwald said, wizards don't care about the life or death of vampires. In their eyes, they are just a group of evil creatures.
