Chapter 233 Grindelwald: I Just Reasoned With Them! But My Reasoning Is A Bit Hard...
"Don't be nervous, if you have any request, you can just ask.
"Uh...I...we don't have any special requests."
"real?"
"real!"
"No request, then can I take the person away?"
"Of course no problem! Blake never committed a crime!"
"Ah! That would be wonderful."
"Ahem, can I move the wand off my waist now? It hurts a bit..."
"Oh, sorry, that's just my pocket watch, I think it hit you"
Alexis is numb.
In fact, whoever changes, everyone will be numb.
Because Grindelwald is now putting his left arm around his shoulder.
Talk to him very "kindly".
What a conflict.
He was the first to hang up...
The head of the dignified Auror office, Aly Alex.
In front of Grindelwald, he is as docile as a sheep.
In fact, it's no wonder he's so weak.
The era when Grindelwald was rampant is actually not too long ago.
Back then, Alex's Auror father was severely beaten by the Wiccan Party.
At that time, Alex, who was still a child, witnessed the whole process.
And was left with a bad enough psychological shadow.
Now, facing directly the shadow of his childhood, he is still able to stand firm and does not fall to the ground.
He can even answer all Grindelwald's questions as fluently as possible.
Without losing the last decency of the French Ministry of Magic.
It is already the fruit of his training!
However, fortunately, before Grindelwald came out.
He had already negotiated all the concessions made by the French Ministry of Magic with Blake.
If we had really talked with Grindelwald from the beginning, we would have lost even more!
When Grindelwald and Alex had a cordial talk over there.
Dumbledore came before Blake.
He was silent for a while, and then his thousands of words finally turned into one sentence.
"You... are so reckless."
"I just hope that you will think more about those who care about you before your next adventure..."
Ordinary people get the key to go to Otherworld.
Neither will try to open the door to Otherworld easily.
God knows what the hell is in Otherworld?
But Blake is driven by his desire for adventure.
Just went there without hesitation...
More Gryffindor than Gryffindor!
However, Dumbledore understood.
The reason why Blake was selected into Hufflepuff.
It's not that he's just for Hufflepuff.
It's because he has all the characteristics of the four major colleges at the same time!
"Sorry, Professor Dumbledore."
Blake said sincerely.
He originally thought he was going to get a beating.
Now I don’t need to be beaten, which is of course the best.
"You did a great job. Blake…"
"I...I did a good job?"
Blake looked at Dumbledore in surprise.
It doesn't matter if you don't get beaten, but you are actually praised?
If Grindelwald wasn't still there.
He even wondered whether today's Dumbledore might be Grindelwald impersonating him.
"At first, when I knew you were going to come to the French Ministry of Magic to ask for an explanation, I was a little worried.
"I'm afraid you're going to make a fuss without reason. And then there's blood in the river..."
Dumbledore had no doubt that Blake was capable of this.
"But I see your wisdom and restraint."
...In anger, you didn't hurt even a single person!"
There was a hint of relief in Dumbledore's tone.
Although blocking the door of the French Ministry of Magic, this behavior is not worth promoting.
However, Blake remained sane.
And keep your behavior within the rules.
Let the other party not only not be able to ask questions, but even have to pay compensation.
This is very good!
This proves that Blake is someone who wants to play by the rules!
Not like Grindelwald...
Well, it should be said that it is like Grindelwald in the past.
Now Grindelwald also knows how to use the rules against himself...
If it was changed to the previous Grindelwald, there may not be many people who can stand here now.
He was glad that Blake didn't do that.
That said, Braque won't be the next ambitious Grindelwald.
Or... the next Voldemort!
Dumbledore looked around at the Aurors.
Then leaned closer to Blake and whispered in a voice only they could hear:
"I'm proud of you, Blake..."
The kidnapping of two wealthy daughters by an eleven-year-old boy.
After several days of fermentation.
There has been a lot of uproar already.
182...
overnight.
The wind direction has completely changed!
First of all, there was news of a high-level replacement in the Daily Prophet.
Then, there was the shocking reversal of the headlines on the front page of the latest edition of the Daily Prophet.
The original kidnapper turned out to be a rescue hero.
The original bounty has been turned into a bounty from the French Ministry of Magic for his bravery to Blake...
Of course, the bonus is just a nice gimmick...
It's more face-saving than compensation.
This is also the last stubbornness of the French Ministry of Magic.
The newspaper also published another version of the "truth".
About the Otherworld expedition or something, there was no mention in the papers.
It's just that the two girls stumbled into some magical relic.
And get stuck in it.
In the end it was Blake who saved them all.
This version of "truth" is more convincing to the public than breaking into "Otherworld".
In fact, Dumbledore and Grindelwald also had the idea of not wanting people to know more about Blake's special abilities.
Until now, they still feel that Blake broke into the world of the being who gave him supreme magic.
Grindelwald's mansion.
“Simply perfect!”
Grindelwald sat on the sofa and patted the newspaper article with satisfaction, and said with a smile.
Blake glanced at the article in the latest edition of the Daily Prophet.
He has already read this article.
"Could it be you who wrote this?" Blake couldn't help asking.
Such a nonsense article, such a shoddy story.
Can Grindelwald say it all?
Even if he was beaten to death, he would not believe that this has nothing to do with Grindelwald!
"Ahem, there are some things, as long as you know it yourself."
"Actually, you don't need to say it."
Grindelwald said somewhat helplessly.
"How did you convince the editor-in-chief of the French branch of the Daily Prophet to publish your article?"
"Did you put your wand up his throat?"
Blake asked curiously.
Grindelwald glared at Blake.
"In your eyes, am I such an unreasonable person?"
"So how do you make sense?" Blake asked.
"I didn't talk to the editor-in-chief...I just talked to the boss of the Daily Prophet."
"It's just that...my wand was indeed on his neck...and then I declared the Qianwei family for acquisition at a very reasonable price.
Grindelwald glanced at Blake as he spoke.
"Crack!" Blake slapped his hands, "As expected of you, the thief is the one who catches the king...well done...but, are you willing to sell it to you?"
"Persuading others has always been my field of expertise." Grindelwald said proudly: "I can assure you that I did not use violence in persuading him.
"You just said you put your wand down someone's throat..."
"In fact, I didn't think about buying the Daily Prophet until after I threatened him. I suddenly realized how terrible it is to control public opinion.
"The Ministry of Magic of all countries in the world will not agree to your acquisition."
"It's not a big problem. Only me and the big boss know about this acquisition. Oh, and now you're one more."
"The Daily Prophet is still under his control, but when I need it, the Daily Prophet will speak for me. Just like now..."
The Daily Prophet was forcibly "acquired" by Grindelwald.
Blake wasn't surprised at all.
After all, Voldemort did similar things after his resurrection.
"Excellent... But, can you not do this next time?"
Blake grabbed the newspaper.
"Heroic boy? Girl Huaichun? How did you write a good story so embarrassingly?"
"Did the Vorays and the Delacours sue you for defamation?"
"I didn't even finish reading the content, I was already so embarrassed that I could pick out a big mansion with my toes."
Grindelwald spread his hands, "This is for the sake of public opinion, Blake, if things aren't weird or bloody, how can they attract attention? If they don't attract attention, how can others care about your affairs?"
"`々I know people's hearts much better than you." Grindelwald took a sip of red wine, and then said: "You were rumored and wronged, and others don't care.
"However, your identity as the rumored kidnapper will still leave a mark on people's hearts. This is what defines you."
"Even if the rumors are specifically refuted later to restore your reputation, your label and brand will always remain."
"What the truth is, they don't care at all. To put it bluntly, a group of spectators never think it's a big deal.
"How can an innocent young man be more interesting to talk about than a heinous young man?"
"So...it's easy to clean up the dirty water on you, but it's difficult to remove the labels that others have defined for you.
"The only way is to create a new label and then cover it on the original label, replacing the original label and becoming a topic of conversation."
"So, although the article is a bit awkward...but, I still succeeded in setting you up as a hero!"
"When people look at you, they will think of you as a brave little hero."
"Instead of thinking that you are a perverted kidnapper who kidnapped a little girl. I say this, do you understand?"
"Look..." Grindelwald opened the newspaper and pointed to one of the paragraphs and said seriously: "The two little girls have a secret love for you and regard you as their sweetheart..."
"Everyone sees this...the two little girls regard you as their sweetheart...this will give people a hint that you are not a kidnapper..."
"After all, in most people's minds, only a fool would kidnap a little girl who has a secret crush on him...
Blake rubbed his face. Although it sounded reasonable, he always felt that something was wrong.
"I admit that what you said makes sense in the first half, but in the second half...isn't this really your bad taste?"
"Of course not! I mean... maybe part of it.
"What?!"
The estate of the Warley family.
"You really
Are you secretly in love with that boy?"
"I...I didn't...Oh, you are so annoying!"
Cassandra covered her ears and turned away from her nagging old father.
Mrs. Warley, on the other hand, looked at her daughter thoughtfully.
Delacour's house.
Fleur is facing the same problem.
"No...no...really! It's all nonsense in the newspapers!"
Fleur blushed and defended.
"Sister...do you also want to compete with Gabri as Blake's brother?"
Gabrielle said aggrievedly.
Furong:…………
Mr. Worley failed to stand still and fell to the ground.
"It's over...the two cabbages have been..."
Granger family.
"Crack!"
The sound of something breaking came from Hermione's room.
"Hermione, what's wrong with you?" Mrs. Granger asked outside the room, confused.
"Oh...it's nothing, I just accidentally broke the cup..."
In the room, Hermione's voice came out loudly.
"What's wrong with this child? Why do you feel like something is wrong with her?"
Mrs. Granger murmured.
The Leaky Cauldron.
"Ouch, Hannah! Your steak is burnt!"
Tom, the boss, exclaimed as soon as he walked into the kitchen.
"Oh...sorry Dragon."
Hannah came to her senses.
I slipped a newspaper into the stove...
