"But what's wrong with that! We are wizards, we are naturally superior to others, and we should enjoy the offerings from Muggles."
Hu Xiuwu finally revealed his plan and outlined his action plan:
“Break the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy and allow us to once again become the brightest star in the crowd and regain the status that originally belonged to us.”
"We are the ones who should be looking down on others, not the Muggle elite."
"It's all for the greater good!"
Hu Xiuwu spread his arms out, as if embracing the world.
A moment later, cheers broke out from the stands. Under the guidance of the 'sitter' he had arranged in advance, the wizards' emotions were aroused.
"Master Harry!"
"Long live Harry Potter!"
"Master Harry will lead us to a greater path!"
The surrounding wizards were all excited, which was normal. Hu Xiuwu's ideas were more moderate and more beneficial to wizards. In addition, the skill he showed before revealed his identity as the strongest in the post-Dumbledore era.
Everyone is naturally willing to follow a strong person who can bring benefits to everyone.
"I asked you to act, not to do it for real!"
Hermione's eyes widened and her teeth chattered, signaling the Aurors to surround Hu Xiuwu.
She could no longer allow Hu Xiuwu to act freely, otherwise she would not be able to control the direction of things.
Several Aurors quietly advanced among the excited crowd. Hu Xiuwu raised his hand and everyone fell silent.
"There are Aurors among us now. It's okay. Now that the Aurors have joined us, don't you want to go one step further?"
Hu Xiuwu, are you getting too immersed in the role?
Hermione growled inwardly.
Chapter 473
Hearing the appearance of the Aurors, the wizards in Knockturn Alley glanced around nervously, ready to escape at any time.
When most people have the same reaction, those who can't keep up will naturally stand out. During military training, when the command "turn left" is shouted, there are always those who are a step behind, and they always attract attention.
As long as they attract attention, the aura of the Aurors will not escape the sensing of the wizards in Knockturn Alley. Mice are always extremely sensitive to cats, and thieves always react to police, even the King of Thieves is no exception.
There seemed to be a repulsive force around each Auror, passively isolating an empty space.
Forced to reveal her whereabouts, Hermione had to lift up her hood, revealing her iconic brown curly hair. Knowing that a conflict was inevitable, she deliberately braided her long hair into a braid, looking as capable and refreshing as a Valkyrie.
"Harry Potter, we suspect you are involved in a case. Please come with us."
Hermione's tone didn't change at all, but she was already cursing Hu Xiuwu in her heart.
Although the plan was discussed by her and Hu Xiuwu: Hu Xiuwu hid in Knockturn Alley and pretended to establish a sect that believed in the Serpent God in order to attract the scientific cult, she would take this opportunity to raise the topic from the inside and force the Ministry of Magic to respond, leading the Aurors into Knockturn Alley and wiping out the dark wizards in Knockturn Alley in one fell swoop.
Hermione's proposal was passed unexpectedly quickly. She didn't understand it clearly, but Hu Xiuwu knew very well what the top leaders of the Ministry of Magic were thinking.
The Ministry of Magic's top executives agreed to let her lead a team of Aurors not just because Harry Potter was suspected of being a criminal.
Hermione hopes to eliminate the gray area of Knockturn Alley, but the Minister of Magic, Pius Thicknesse, obviously has more considerations.
As the number of wizards increases and society enters a period of growth, Diagon Alley needs to be expanded, and naturally someone will be needed to free up space.
Knockturn Alley is right next to Diagon Alley, the largest wizarding gathering place in England. It is originally a place for wizards and does not need to negotiate with the secular government, so it is of course taken seriously.
"What crime have I committed? Is it a crime to give a speech in Knockturn Alley?" Hu Xiuwu avoided the main point and spoke first before the angry English Rose could refute him.
"Is it because I am about to tell them the truth? The Ministry of Magic is planning to demolish Knockturn Alley!"
Hermione was startled, and suddenly understood what the director and the minister were thinking.
"I shouldn't have missed the last meeting just to meet that bastard Hu Xiuwu!"
Everyone was originally enjoying the story of how the savior Harry Potter and his best friend Hermione Granger turned against each other, but they didn't expect that after taking a bite of the melon, it would get on them.
Seeing that Hermione did not refute Harry Potter immediately, the people in Knockturn Alley became even more excited.
What the hell? My house is going to be gone just for eating a melon!
No money for demolition!
The crowd was in an uproar and many wizards had already drawn their wands to gesture. The Aurors also noticed that the atmosphere was not right and they were a little panicked. If the mice gathered in a group, they would dare to treat the cats as food.
Who knows, the wizard might accidentally fire the fuse of the powder keg, causing a mutiny.
"Oh no, the show is over! How are you going to end this, Hu Xiuwu!"
The wizards around were swearing at her, and Hermione was anxious. She was the one who truly cared about the good of the British wizarding world and did not want to cause a major conflict.
call!
Just when Hermione didn't know how to comfort the people around her, Hu Xiuwu waved his wand, and the flame of the kerosene lamp beside the podium suddenly expanded like bean sprouts, turning into fire snakes that crawled out of the lamp, biting each other head to tail to form a fire dragon that reached the sky and coiled around the circular theater. The high temperature heat wave it emitted made the people in the theater suddenly dry their mouths and speechless.
The fire dragon was mixed with red burning fire, making it look even more ferocious and fierce.
Hu Xiuwu didn't use the direct torture of burning people with fire because he was worried that these Aurors wouldn't be able to hold on.
As Hu Xiuwu pointed his wand, the fire dragon leaned down and split into thousands of fire crows, pouncing towards the Aurors in the crowd.
If other people do it, they won't use enough force, so why not let me do it?
It's like setting off fireworks, it makes a huge noise, but as long as you don't seek death yourself, it won't hurt anyone's lives.
Most Aurors could only hold on with the Shield Charm, and only a few elite Aurors could use Transfiguration Charms or bird-swarming offensive spells to disperse the Fire Crows.
But the Fire Crows seemed endless. Each Auror was surrounded by a dozen Fire Crows, like a group of burning men. Even if other wizards in Knockturn Alley wanted to help, they didn't know where to fight.
Only Hermione could barely protect herself and the Auror beside her.
"Clear spring is like water."
She used the clear spring water to summon a wave of water, forming a water wall around her body. Hermione used the freezing spell, and the magic wand sprayed cold air to freeze the water wall into solid ice. Finally, she learned from Hu Xiuwu to use the Transfiguration Spell to transform the ice into owls.
A two-dimensional owl relief first appeared on the ice wall. Then the relief blinked and flapped its wings, struggling out of the wall and transforming into a translucent ice crystal owl. Si Xi turned around and discovered the Fire Crow. He immediately swooped down and started fighting against it.
Fire and water are incompatible. The fight between the Ice Eagle and the Fire Crow was very fierce. White water vapor would always be stirred up where the two sides were hit. Both sides were hurt, but not a single bird stopped and launched fierce suicidal attacks.
However, Hermione's mental strength and magical power were not as good as Hu Xiuwu's. She could only conjure up hundreds of owls to face thousands of fire crows, and could only barely ensure the safety of the surrounding area. She was unable to rescue other Aurors.
"retreat!"
Seeing that the magic shield released by the Auror's Shield Charm was about to crumble, Hermione had no choice but to evacuate with the Aurors.
Hu Xiuwu was still acting, at least he was using Harry Potter's face, and he laughed maniacally:
"Hermione, I didn't expect that I would become so strong now! The power of the Deathly Hallows is beyond your imagination. It comes from the great snake god!"
When they heard Hu Xiuwu suddenly mention the snake god, a group of people in the stands habitually wanted to raise their hands to pray. They stopped halfway after being scolded by their leader, but this did not escape Hu Xiuwu's eyes.
He suddenly mentioned the snake god just to test whether the people from the scientific cult were in place.
He is very satisfied with the result now.
The Aurors Apparated away one by one, and Hu Xiuwu did not stop them. When Hermione finally left, she glared at him and left unwillingly.
Hu Xiuwu then put away the fire crows and gathered them in the sky to form a ring of fire that enveloped the theater, making the theater as bright as noon for a moment.
"We are out of time. You have seen the attitude of the Ministry of Magic. If we don't resist, we will have no place to stay."
John O'Hara and several of his colleagues exchanged glances, instructing their spies who had been hiding in the crowd to start taking action.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted:
"Long live Harry Potter! Long live Harry Potter! Long live Harry Potter!"
A single stone can cause a thousand ripples. The people of Knockturn Alley have just woken up from their dreams. The Ministry of Magic is going to demolish their homes, and now Harry Potter is their savior.
First there were ten people, then a hundred, and finally a few sparks turned into a raging fire, and the whole theater was filled with the people's passionate shouts:
"Long live Harry Potter! Long live Harry Potter."
Feeling the blazing hot atmosphere around them, the members of the science cult looked at each other.
They knew this atmosphere all too well.
That’s great, the people’s hearts are there!
So thinks the science cult.
Great, they believed it!
Hu Xiuwu thought so.
Chapter 474: A Big Fish and Five Treasure Boxes
With his hands pressed lightly to suppress the excited emotions of the wizards in the stands, Hu Xiuwu pointed his wand at the intersection of Knockturn Alley and Diagon Alley:
"Go to the border, to defend our own home."
"Oh!"
The wizards teleported away, fireworks were set off on the curved stands, and one after another, figures wrapped in black sand and thick fog rose into the sky and landed on the border of Knockturn Alley. Under the leadership of John O'Hara and others, they used Transfiguration and Protection Spells to seal off Knockturn Alley, openly opposing the Ministry of Magic.
When the black smoke cleared, only the members of the Science Cult were left in the stands. Hu Xiuwu turned his head and looked very dissatisfied. He felt that they did not respect him, so he said with murderous intent:
"You are so brave that you dare to stay here. Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
He pretended not to know where they came from, but his words revealed that he had already discovered their whereabouts.
Because the character of Harry Potter is like this now.
A powerful wild snake god apostle who is related to the snake god but does not know the history of the snake god.
"Because we are the same people as you."
The leader of the scientific cult stood up and threw away his bamboo hat, revealing his true face. He was wearing a black suit similar to a priest's uniform. He was tall, with black hair and brown eyes. If it weren't for his cold white skin and deep cheekbones, he would look a bit like a yellow person.
Compared to his appearance, Hu Xiuwu was more concerned about the pendant hanging on his chest, which seemed to contain endless energy.
The last time he saw an object filled with such vast energy was the Zhuchen Pearl.
The box is no bigger than a snuff box, with a cross-shaped vajra carved on the top for threading a rope. A circle of Gesang flowers is carved around the box, and further inside is a circle of flame patterns. The middle is made of the finest jade ground into a thin slice to act as glass, and through the jade you can see the sacred objects enshrined inside.
It was a kind of debris with a texture similar to the Resurrection Stone. Compared to the Resurrection Stone that had been carved into a diamond-shaped gem, the debris in the box was more like a kind of ore.
