Volume 4: The Sea and the Ship Heading North Chapter 174 The Massacre Begins
"Dumbledore used many methods to find out where the Dark Lord went during that month."
"At first, he thought it would be a very difficult task, but unexpectedly, he easily found traces of the Dark Lord's brief stay in many places."
Nick said seriously.
"But after in-depth exploration of those places, we did not find anything of value. The dark demons only stayed for a short time, most of them only stayed for a few hours or even a few minutes, and then used magic to leave."
"It's very confusing. Dumbledore listed all the places he had been to, trying to find some kind of connection between them, but he always found nothing."
"He soon figured out one thing."
"The Dark Lord appears in various places so aimlessly, it seems more like he is looking for something!"
"Then, Dumbledore spent a lot of energy and sent out nearly two-thirds of his men, and finally found something unusual in one place."
Nick looked in the opposite direction of where Hogwarts was heading.
Jon followed his gaze and looked over there. Behind them was the endless sea. But even though the sea was empty, in a flash, he figured out what Nick was looking at.
"The Dark Lord has gone out to sea!"
Nick nodded seriously.
"Yes, he didn't use Apparition or magic to fly over directly. Instead, he built a raft for himself. He sailed out to the sea from the area where you went down to the sea!"
"This almost made Dumbledore overlook it at the time. No one would think that such a dark devil who wanted to kill all the Muggles in the world would use Muggle means instead of magic to go to a place."
Jon stroked his smooth chin and said thoughtfully.
"This is not necessarily his own wish, but it may be that the place he wants to go, he can't reach it no matter what magic he uses."
"You have the same idea as Dumbledore!"
Nick exclaimed.
"He boarded the raft alone, leaving behind all his British men. He was so anxious that he didn't even have time to tell them he was safe before he set off across the ocean."
"After that, the Dark Lord's whereabouts became even more difficult to track. Not using any magic means that we also have no way to use magical means to investigate."
"But fortunately, Dumbledore reconciled with another extremely dangerous person at that time. That person had a pair of eyes that could see into the future. He could know a lot of things for no reason, even if the thing had never happened in front of him."
"He saw some tracks in the fog, and then Dumbledore sent me to the sea and boarded Drake's ghost ship."
"I have indeed made more discoveries over the years, but I am only a ghost after all. I cannot do the same things as a living person. If you want to truly find out where the Dark Lord went on that raft, you must be a living person."
Jon looked at the starry night sky.
Now he finally understood what Dumbledore's ultimate purpose was in letting them go out to sea.
He said softly.
"We are going to retrace the path that the dark devil once took. "
…
The French wizarding world has become bleak.
A week has passed since the extraordinary parliamentary meeting that shocked everyone.
During this week, all kinds of news were flying around, but what everyone knew was.
Here comes the man who in England is called "The Greatest Mr."
Not only did he come, he also became the new Minister of Magic of the French Ministry of Magic with his theory of pure-blood superiority. The entire French Magic Council became a surrendered government, submitting to the black robe of that man.
Originally, only 80% of the parliamentarians were submissive to him, but after that meeting, three of the remaining 20% of Muggle wizard parliamentarians were killed for opposing him in court, and the rest were deprived of their status as parliamentarians and became the first batch of "Mudblood" slaves in France.
Yes, that man implemented the same bloodline policy in France as in Britain without hesitation.
The French magical government has completely become his lackey. On the evening of the end of the parliamentary meeting, the Ministry of Magic completed its self-cleansing. All Muggle wizard employees were arrested and prepared for transformation into slaves.
Other half-bloods and pure-bloods who met the bloodline requirements did not suffer any harassment.
They still have their original positions and everything in the Ministry of Magic is still running normally.
But everyone knew that the moment that man appeared in the meeting, the current French magical world was completely different from the previous one.
The action began the day after the meeting.
The first to be affected was within the French Ministry of Magic.
Not only were all the Muggle wizards arrested, but the newly appointed Minister of Magic also expanded the staff at the Auror Command.
Those new-school French pure-bloods who clearly stood on his side expanded the Auror team, and these people would be the main force of the next action.
Voldemort issued his first "Ministerial Order" in France.
From now on, all "Mudbloods" will lose their human rights, be deprived of the right to use wands, be deprived of personal property, be deprived of political rights, and can only submit to their noble bloodline for the rest of their lives!
This order is certainly unlikely to be supported.
Although the Ministry of Magic and the top leaders have surrendered, Muggle wizards will never surrender.
For most half-blood wizards, even though Voldemort's rule did not harm their tangible interests, it did not bring them any significant benefits like pure-blood wizards.
What's more, before Voldemort came to France, it was impossible for only half-bloods to make friends with each other. Many of them had friendships with Muggle wizards. Such friendships might not be enough for them to risk their lives to speak for the freedom of Muggle wizards, but they also made them fall into silence on the blood policy.
In this strange atmosphere of silence, desolation and oppression, the Aurors began to move out.
Abolishing the human rights of Muggle wizards is definitely not just talk. The first and most important thing is to confiscate the wands in their hands!
Fierce resistance ensued.
Every wizard knows that the wand is the basis of their survival. Without the wand, most wizards will lose the ability to cast spells stably, which is equivalent to losing the ability to resist.
They began to attack the Aurors who came to collect the wands, to which the Aurors responded without hesitation.
They directly use the Killing Curse against the Muggle wizards who resist!
What is happening in France now is exactly what happened in Britain.
At the beginning of the bloodline's rule, in order to maintain stability, it was necessary to first slaughter a portion of the "Mudbloods".
The moment the order to confiscate the magic wands is issued, the massacre begins!
