Chapter 510 Maze, action

"Hahaha! Well done!"

A skinny old man with a long white beard laughed loudly at the young man in front of him and said, "Just like this, that guy can't mobilize our power."

The young man opposite him shook the wine glass in his hand, shook his head and said: "There is nothing to be happy about, right? This is our design, isn't it? No matter how strong or capable he is, in the final analysis, he is not us. We are our own people. It is simply unrealistic for an outsider to want to enslave us."

The old man suppressed the joy on his face and nodded reservedly: "You are right, Envi, but now Orson's accumulated strength cannot be underestimated, so it is better to be careful. I am still worried that he will jump over the wall in a hurry. of."

Baxter Envy sneered, and then said: "Don't be joking. Let's not talk about whether his people have the strength. Even if he really rescues Grindelwald, look at whether Grindelwald dares to do it. A stabbing in front of us?"

What he said was quite arrogant.Even the old man who had just smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth suddenly froze.It seemed that Baxter Envi's words brought back some bad memories for him.

"Ahem... Anyway, we still can't be careless. Just let our people keep an eye on that guy."

Looking at the old man who suddenly calmed down, Baite Envi nodded superficially.In fact, he couldn't help but sneered in his heart.This group of people is really too timid. Now Grindelwald should be an old man dying in prison.He might die in prison at any time.

And despite how wanton and reckless these guys are on the surface, they are still subconsciously timid when it comes to Grindelwald.cowardly!But it's understandable.After all, although Grindelwald is old.But they are also old.As an old person, it is inevitable to recall the scenes when you were young.And when these people were young, they were almost taught by Grindelwald and didn't dare to make any mistakes.

but……

Baxter Enwy drank the wine in the glass, picked up the bottle leisurely, and poured the wine himself, thinking: "The times have changed. Dumbledore and Grindelwald are both old. And that one is a bit Voldemort, who had strength but no courage, is also dead. In this day and age, there is no one who can make people dare not resist by relying on his personal strength."

"So...the advantage is mine!"

Thinking of this, Baxter Enwy narrowed his eyes slightly and began to enjoy the bottle of red wine bought from a Muggle winery.As if tasting the taste of victory.

"Let's get down to business."

The old man's tone returned to seriousness, and he said with a heavy face: "I'm afraid we have to negotiate with the students."

Hearing this, Baite Enwei frowned tightly. After a long silence, he took a deep breath and said, "Okay, it's really time to go to the negotiating table. If we continue like this, it won't do us any good. It will only benefit the non-aristocratic fishermen in the MAC."

"Although the demands made by the students this time are excessive, they are not completely unacceptable."

The old man said in a serious tone: "They want to write 'equality' into the law. They also want to increase the number of non-noble seats in the Magic Congress, especially requiring students to have seats in the Magic Congress."

Baite Enwei's face looked a little ugly, as if someone else was thinking about the cake that was his own.However, after thinking for a moment, he still nodded and said: "We can still accept this situation. From now on, we will just restrict the behavior of each family and keep a low profile. As for the additional seats for non-nobles, we can also win over them. On the contrary, students are more likely to cheat."

But suddenly, he changed the subject: "But agreeing so easily will not make these students satisfied with what they have obtained now. First, teach them a lesson, and then let the leaders not participate in this seat. In contention.”

At this point, he suddenly sneered: "By the way, we can make a concession so that students can still maintain the right to observe politics after graduation. However, they are not allowed to engage in other jobs while observing politics. They will get a An additional subsidy.”

When he said this, the old man's eyes lit up, and he knew the feasibility of this approach. After all, as long as this subsidy is restricted, and then through other means, they lose enough financial resources, then these people will soon Speak for them.

"However, the intention of this method is too obvious. If they see it, they probably won't agree. Rolf Scamander is not a fool."

Baite Enwei smiled and shrugged when he heard this and said: "It doesn't matter, just treat them as disgusting. Maybe the concessions in this aspect can be exchanged for other concessions from them."

"Haha! That's right!" The old man picked up the wine glass and pointed it at Baite Enwei.Baite Envi responded with a gesture, and then prepared to drink all the wine in his glass.As a result, there was a rapid knock on the door.

"Lord Enwe! Something happened!"

Although he was very anxious when he heard the voice, the person outside the door still only knocked once and did not push the door directly in, ensuring the minimum calmness.

"Come in and talk."

Baite Enwei's face was gloomy and he called the people outside the door to come in.

Outside the door, a wizard in white robes quickly opened the door after hearing the call from inside. He glanced at the two people in front of him and bowed: "Lord Envi, Lord Teken."

After hearing the wizard's greeting, the old man nodded slowly and said nothing more.This is Baite Enwe's subordinate. Even if he respects him, if he needs to avoid it later, he will never have the chance to force himself to stay here.

Baite Enwei exchanged glances with his men, and ultimately did not make any move to drive them away.

"Tell me, what happened? So panicked."

"It's Mr. Orson, sir." The white-robed wizard said seriously, "Mr. Orson has entangled many people. Even some of us were instigated by him to rebel. No, it should be said that those people have long since become traitors. , they seem to be conducting an operation. And this operation is most likely to rescue Mr. Grindelwald."

Teken's breath suddenly stopped.They know the best about Nurmengard's security.After all, these people have been paying attention to Nurmengard for who knows how many years.This year, Nurmengard's security is getting worse and worse.After all, it is a prison that basically only holds one person. Although there are many management staff, there is very little work, so the prison staff there have naturally learned to fish.

The current security situation there cannot be said to be heavily guarded, but at least it is better than nothing.If Orson entangled a group of wizards to rob the prison, maybe the process would be extremely easy.

Then, suddenly, some dead memories started beating at T'Ken's brain.The unbearable scenes came to mind again.Fear and sadness emerged in my heart almost at the same time, and then a sour feeling condensed on the tip of my nose.There seemed to be some moisture in the eyes, but it was quickly restrained.

Baite Enwei looked solemn at the beginning, but after thinking for a moment, his expression relaxed a lot.

"It doesn't matter... To be honest, I never thought that Nurmengard's little vigilance force could guard Grindelwald. Over the years, real saints have contacted Grindelwald countless times. So it was never the superficial prison that restrained Grindelwald, but himself."

Baite Envi's words seemed to have the power to calm people down. After what he said, both his subordinates and Teken seemed to feel more relaxed.

Yes, that makes sense.As long as Grindelwald himself is unwilling to come out, even if the saints break into Nurmengard, or even raze Nurmengard to the ground, they are destined to return in vain.

But Baxter Enwe himself is not so optimistic.

"But...if Orson wasn't sure, it would be impossible for him to act so fiercely. It's almost obvious that he's going to fall out with us..."

Baite Enwei continued to add.The other two people in the room turned pale again.No, if you have anything to say, you should finish it all at once. Panting like this will make others unable to breathe!

"Anyway... let's go take a look first."

Baite Enwei put on black clothes and walked in front with a gloomy expression, not paying attention to the two people behind him.But even if his attitude is a little bad, the two people who are also in a dilemma now have no time to care.Followed by Baxter Envi.Get ready to go together.

………………

"Oh, you...what are you doing?"

Fudge greeted the guests with enthusiasm and wanted to say more witty words. However, looking at the group of unscrupulous faces and the almost suffocating atmosphere in front of him, he finally swallowed those inappropriate wisecracks.

If he didn't attract any attention if he made some mistakes before, now if he makes so many people unhappy at the same time, then his work as the Minister of Magic will really be over.Those present now, not to mention members of all the big families in Britain, but at least [-]% of the big families are here.There are only a few people who can keep their faces calm.

No one paid attention to Fudge.So Fudge felt embarrassed that he had a hot face but a cold butt.

"It's okay, everyone just encountered a little trouble."

Barty Crouch smiled slightly and said to Fudge: "Minister, take a seat first. I have asked Bagman to preside over it. The game will start later."

Fudge finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard someone came to the rescue. However, given that the person who rescued him was Barty Crouch, his expression was a little weird, so he didn't know what expression to make for a while.

"it is good."

That was all he could say.

The warriors finally entered.Bagman and Harry walked side by side, greeting Harry with greetings.

"Feeling all right, Harry?" Bagman asked as they descended the stone steps. "Confident?"

"Fine," said Harry.It was true, he was nervous, but he kept going over the spells he had practiced, remembering them all, and it made him feel better.

However, Harry looked at the young man in front of him and recalled what he saw in the conference room, the young man's tough attitude towards those 'big men', and he was still in a daze for a moment.So... is Luke already so strong?

The sky was now a clear deep blue and stars were starting to appear.Hagrid, Professor Moody, Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick walked into the playing field and approached Bagman and several warriors.They all had big shining red stars on their hats, except Hagrid, whose star was on the back of his terry vest.

"We will patrol outside the maze," Professor McGonagall said to the warriors. "If you encounter difficulties and want to be rescued, just shoot red sparks into the sky, and we will have someone to help you, understand?"

The warriors nodded together.

"Okay, let's go!" Bagman said happily to the four patrol members.

"Good luck, Harry," Hagrid whispered.Four people walked away in different directions, distributed around the maze.Then Bagman pointed his wand to his throat and said "loud voice", and his magically amplified voice echoed in the stands.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the last competition of the Triwizard Tournament is about to begin! Let me report the current score! Mr. Luke Gaunt! Two hundred points! Absolute No. 1! Harry Potter Special - 85 points, No. 2, they are all warriors who belong to Hogwarts school!" The applause and cheers frightened the birds in the Forbidden Forest and flew into the darkening night sky. "Victor Krum - 80 points, No. 2, Durmstrang College!" There was another round of applause. "Fleur Delacour - No. 3, Beauxbatons Academy!"

"Is it an illusion? Why do I feel that Bagman is particularly happy when he says Harry is No. 2?"

Sirius stared at Ludo Bagman with a hint of danger in his eyes.He was well aware of Ludo Bagman's criminal record.According to Harry's previous dreams and Harry's participation in the competition, there must be someone from Voldemort in the school.Then, this guy who is inexplicably passionate about Harry might be his enemy.

"...Maybe he just bet that Harry is No. 2?"

Mr. Weasley on the side guessed.But he still shook his head: "Anyway, keep an eye on this guy."

At the judges' table, Dumbledore frowned and looked at the empty seat next to him, but at this moment, Karkaroff's voice suddenly came to his ears.

"Sorry, I feel a little uncomfortable suddenly. I'm late."

Karkaroff said in a hoarse voice.

"No, it's not too late, the game has just begun."

Madame Maxime said with relief.She looked at Karkaroff's face and said, "You still have to take care of yourself."

"After all, it is finally over and we are going back to China. I am a little excited. I am too old to stay up late."

Karkaroff shook his head and said with a wry smile, and then sat down in his seat.

"Now... Mr. Gunter! Listen to my whistle!" Bagman said, "Three-two--"

With a short whistle, Luke walked into the maze calmly.

The tall hedges cast dark shadows on the path. Whether it was because the hedges were high and dense, or because of magic, once he entered the maze, the voices of the audience were inaudible.Luke almost felt like he was underwater again.

His eyes flashed, everything in front of him became clear, and he continued to walk forward.
