Most importantly, Voldemort had only been gone for about ten years.

Basically everyone present had experienced the period when the Dark Lord was rampant, and they couldn't help but feel panic in their hearts.

Especially the Minister of Magic Fudge, he even felt a little weak all over.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, the mysterious man is dead."

Fudge shouted loudly, trying to change the will of everyone present.

Voldemort is not dead yet. If this news gets out, it will cause chaos in the wizarding world.

Unless he is hostile to Voldemort, he can forget about being re-elected.

It is even possible that the middle class will step down.

When Fudge thought of this, his whole body trembled. It would be better if he didn't taste the power.

But he has tasted power.

The feeling of everyone looking up to you and mobilizing a large number of wizards with just one command.

The more you think about it, the harder it is to let go.

Just as he was about to shout at Dumbledore and deny the news.

suddenly......

"Headmaster, having the mark of a Death Eater does not mean that one is a Dark Lord."

"I think someone is planning to kill people and then put the blame on the Dark Lord."

"Let's make sure there is no evidence!"

Hearing Lockhart's voice in his ears, Fudge was a little excited, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, and hurriedly affirmed loudly.

"Yes, Dumbledore, Professor Lockhart is right."

"The Dark Lord is dead. There is no way he can come back to life. This is definitely a conspiracy."

"There are wizards who are preparing to kill people in the name of the Dark Lord."

As soon as Fudge finished speaking, Lockhart agreed, "Yes, we must not fall for the enemy's trick."

"Even if the Dark Lord was still alive, why did he kill these wizards?"

"These wizards were sent to attack me. Could it be that the mastermind behind this is a dead Dark Lord?"

"To put it bluntly, if he is really the mastermind, I will find him and make him die again."

"I, Gilderoy Lockhart, will always seek revenge."

Hearing this, the wizard next to him was just about to mock Lockhart for overestimating his own abilities.

But just now I thought that Lockhart and Grindelwald were tied, and even the Killing Curse could be broken.

There was a sudden silence.

In particular, some Wizengamot members from pure-blood families did not speak.

Because, in their master's current state, it is very likely that he is no match for Lockhart.

After hearing this, Fudge, who was standing by, seemed to have thought of something. His eyes lit up and he quickly said, "Yes, Teacher Lockhart is right."

"With Professor Lockhart's strength, even the Dark Lord wouldn't dare to act rashly."

He saw Lockhart's strength just now.

Being able to tie with Grindelwald doesn’t mean I can definitely defeat the Dark Lord, but I can definitely... protect him.

Even if the Dark Lord really came out, he could still become the Ministry of Magic's trump card without relying on Dumbledore.

By then, I may be able to keep my position.

Well, to be honest, deep down he actually believed in Dumbledore's judgment.

It's just that the desire for power suppresses my inner thoughts.

At this moment, Dumbledore sighed inwardly, but didn't say much.

He knew that Lockhart wanted to target those pure-blood families this time.

If he used Tom as an excuse, then everything he had done before would have been in vain.

In addition, Lockhart, who was able to tie with Grindelwald in the future when dealing with Tom, was definitely an extremely important key.

Finally, you can express your attitude through silence.

When Lockhart saw everyone's, especially Fudge's, attitude towards Dumbledore, he was very satisfied.

Sure enough, only when facing enough external threats can the internal unity be achieved.

He just didn't believe that Dumbledore was going to push himself to the opposite side when facing Grindelwald and Voldemort.

If Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge does not want to rely on Dumbledore, he can only rely on himself.

With his mind turning, Lockhart said in a deep voice to everyone: "Everyone, although these wizards are dead, the three leaders are still alive."

"We can still catch the mastermind behind this."

"Just now, I have obtained some information, which I will hand over to Minister Fudge and the Aurors later."

Having said this, Lockhart turned to Fudge and said, "Minister Fudge, these three wizards must be kept under close watch, and we must obtain information about the mastermind from them in a timely manner."

"Don't give people the opportunity to kill again."

"Otherwise...I'll have to do it myself."

At the end of his words, there was a cold, threatening tone in Kahlhat's voice.

Fudge was stunned when he heard this, and then he said quickly: "Don't worry, Professor Lockhart, the Ministry of Magic will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."

When Dumbledore heard this, a complicated look appeared on his face.

He was a little confused about what his students were planning.

He had the information in his hands, but he didn't tell it and instead handed the person over to the Ministry of Magic again.

What on earth is Lockhart trying to do by making such a big fuss this time?

The Wizengamot members around, especially those from pure-blood families, showed a hint of joy on their faces after hearing it, but it disappeared in an instant.

They are very familiar with this set.

Lockhart did this simply to take advantage of this opportunity to make a deal with them.

Their pure-blood families are very familiar with such secret negotiations and private transactions.

As for why Lockhart did this?

They didn't doubt it, but even if Lockhart revealed the truth, what good would it do him?

It's nothing more than proving one's innocence.

But if you do the deal privately today, you can get real benefits.

Only a fool would not do that.

The only thing they were worried about now was whether Lockhart would ask for too much.

This is what they are most worried about.

The tone of Lockhart's last words made it clear to them that if they were not satisfied with the deal, he would take matters into his own hands.

At this moment, Lockhart looked at the Wizengamot members who were full of thoughts.

He brought the topic back to the topic again and said to everyone: "Everyone, now that Grindelwald has proved it, let's go back to the issue of the wizard Rango being cursed by the Forgetfulness Curse at the beginning."

Hearing this, everyone came back to their senses and turned their attention to Rango Marx again.

At this moment, Rango Marx reveals emotions of decadence, sadness, hatred and anger.

He saw Lockhart's battle scene, and vaguely discovered that there was something wrong with his memory.

In fact, I had some guesses deep down in my heart.

He felt a little desperate for a time, knowing that he had become a pawn and was being played like a fool by the purebloods.

"Professor Lockhart, do you have anything else to say?"

"If you don't have anything to say, then move on to the next step."

At this moment, Judge Miranda asked Lockhart with a complicated expression.

He also understood the meaning of Lockhart's previous words. This was an act that she hated very much, but had no choice.

If the prisoner is willing to settle privately, what can the judge do?

"Judge Miranda, please give me some more time. I need to say something."

Miranda naturally nodded in agreement.

"Members of the Wizengamot, I believe that some speculation has been made on this case."

"I am willing to believe in everyone's fairness."

“However, as I mentioned earlier, I actually feel very sympathetic towards Rango Marcos’ experience.”

"I have mentioned before that I have done a lot of research on memory spells."

Speaking of this, Lockhart's tone revealed confidence.

"Regarding the matter of the wizard Rango being cursed with oblivion, I can actually help him remove the influence of the oblivion curse without wasting too much time."

"I would like to make an application to the judge and the members of the Wizengamot."

"Please allow me to cast magic to help Wizard Rango restore his normal memory."

"In this way, all the allegations about me will naturally come to light."

After hearing Lockhart's request, all the Wizengamot members began to discuss.

But soon, the Wizengamot member of the pure-blood family immediately said: "We agree to Lockhart's application."

They naturally knew that the situation could be made less embarrassing, so they were willing to do it.

Even if Rango recovers his true memory, he will not disclose the information about the purebloods, and it will not have much impact on them.

Soon, others also agreed.

Judge Miranda sighed inwardly, then asked Rango Marx, "Wizard Rango, are you willing to accept Professor Lockhart's magical treatment?"

Hearing this, Lango said without any hesitation, "I am willing to trust Professor Lockhart."

As he said this, he gave Lockhart a grateful look.

In the absence of magical interference, with his intelligence, he can naturally judge who is good and who is bad.

"Okay, of course, Wizard Rango and all the Wizengamot members agree. Then Professor Lockhart, you can take action."

Judge Miranda said expressionlessly.

In fact, everyone already knew the final result, so she naturally would not deliberately stop it.

Today's trial was the first time she had ever experienced such a strange trial.

The trial didn't feel like a trial, it felt like a one-man show for Lockhart.

When Lockhart heard this, a smile appeared on his face.

Then he gently stretched out his right palm, and instantly, a green light floated above his palm.

As soon as the light appeared, everyone present felt a surge of vitality and the desire revealed by the soul.

At the same time, they heard Lockhart's introduction.

"Everyone, this is the treasure I refined. I named it the Light of Life."

"Its role is to repair the damage to the soul and reduce the backlash of black magic."

"Of course, the most important thing is... to extend lifespan."

After hearing Lockhart's introduction, especially the last point, most wizards subconsciously held their breath, with greed in their eyes.

But they all knew Lockhart's strength and did nothing.

Then, I heard Lockhart's introduction.

"The essence of the Forgetfulness Spell lies in its impact on the soul's memory. I can solve this problem."
