Lord Voldemort sat at the head of the long table. His impatience made the Death Eaters below, who had already learned to observe their master's body language to survive, lower their heads, not daring to look at him.
"Did you ask me to come over just to hear how quiet you can be?" Lord Voldemort spoke first.
"Master, we noticed that the situation in the German Ministry of Magic is very strange! Just now, the Aura and the attackers left their respective stations and were replaced by some ugly guys who looked like clerks … Many of the guards are unprecedentedly weak. "Rabastan Lestrand hurriedly reported the matter to Lord Voldemort, but he noticed that his master was in a bad mood, which made him curse his bad luck. He could only lower his head during the process of describing, not daring to look directly at Lord Voldemort." Some people want to directly get some funds back, but I suspect that there is a trap, so I came to report to you, Master. "
Lord Voldemort narrowed his eyes dangerously. It was his subordinates' duty to clarify the problem, but now they were asking him for his opinion.
"Master, I might know something about this …" Lucius saw Lord Voldemort's reaction and also asked to report.
"Dear Lucius, the Malfoy family is still as excellent as ever …" Lord Voldemort nodded in satisfaction. "Trash, the one in charge of intelligence is not as good as the one in charge of British affairs who knows the situation in Germany …"
"Bulgaria has now banned the wizard TV, and Rabastan and the others are also wanted in Germany, so they probably can't see the news … They can't openly appear anywhere like I can to understand the situation …" Lucius spoke to help his good friend's brother out of the situation. "The Harris family's Floating City was visiting France before … It is now heading towards the Rhine River in Germany, and the German Ministry of Magic just announced that the Floating City is a forbidden means of transportation in Germany …"
"Listen to what I just heard … have these Germans gone crazy?" Lord Voldemort sneered. "Those people who can't even deal with the Evil Goblin want to deal with that bad boy?!"
"Master … The higher-ups of the German Ministry of Magic might want to use this as political capital. They just announced the ban themselves, and Harris doesn't seem to have any intention of following it, so they might want to use this matter … to strengthen the theory that Britain is a threat in the international wizard world, and to create a victim image for other countries …" Lucius said softly. "Also, according to what I learned in the German Magic World, what is Hans thinking? Wise master, you know the relationship between Harris and them … The higher-ups are so against it because their power is based on the premise of driving Harris and the others away. The lower-level German wizards don't have any ill feelings towards Harris now, and many of them even hope that this connection will allow Harris to return to Germany to help them improve their situation. This ban by the higher-ups is not welcomed by the ordinary wizards, so I think the higher-ups are also hoping to use this method to sow discord between the German wizards and Harris, without expecting Harris to be stopped, so I think the higher-ups are also hoping to use this method to sow discord between the German wizards and Harris, making them think that Harris is a threat and insulting Germany …"
"These lowly people are despicable and shameless fence-sitters!" Bellatrix shrieked like a baby. "My father said that when Harris and the others were driven out of Germany and were in dire straits, only that idiot Rosier would accept them. And these fence-sitters didn't think that Harris was one of them at that time … Now that they see those bastards prospering again, they're hoping to build a relationship with them?!"
"Quiet, Bella." Lord Voldemort said with a terrifying voice. "I'll deal with you later! You and Nagini weren't in your positions just now. "
"Master, I'm sorry. I didn't know. I was feeding Nagini!" Bellatrix was so frightened by the sudden scolding that she started sobbing. She quickly knelt down at Lord Voldemort's feet. "Master, you know … Nagini's appetite is … Ah!"
"This will help you remember to focus more on your duties in the future." Lord Voldemort didn't pay much attention to her. Instead, he cast a torturous spell on Bella. He then waved his wand and dragged her out of the dining hall.
Hearing Bella's tortured screams, the Death Eaters kept quiet out of fear. They didn't dare to make any noise. The Dark Lord seemed to be in a bad mood. Since Bellatrix gave birth to a child, she was almost above the other Death Eaters. She didn't have to do many trivial tasks, and they weren't dangerous. Basically, she wouldn't be reprimanded. But today, their master suddenly scolded Bella who didn't seem to have done anything wrong. This made the Death Eaters realize that perhaps the Dark Lord's recent experiments had made him more temperamental, unpredictable, and ruthless.
"Master, I also just received good news. Our spies outside Nurmengard Prison told me that the security there has been reduced!" As if he was eager to show that he wasn't an idiot like Bella after she was scolded, Yaxes retracted his hand that was pressing on the Death Eater's mark and reported in a gloomy and slightly brutal tone. It didn't match his gorgeous silver robe at all.
"Yaxes, if it's for political capital, why would these Germans transfer the country's security forces to complete an obstruction mission that is destined to fail?" Rabasta seemed to feel that there was something wrong with it.
"Maybe it's because these Germans are all stubborn. Maybe they think that it looks like they've tried their best? They really can't stop Harris even with the power of the whole country. It's not the same as sending a few people to deal with the matter and getting caught by Harris on TV … "Lucius said casually to Rudolphus's brother and glared at him with some annoyance.
"So, if Nurmengard goes there now, we don't have to worry about them having time to escape with him?" The Lord Voldemort's red eyes were very fierce. He looked at the nervous faces of his followers and pulled out his wand. His finger slid over the wand. "When it gets dark, follow me. Follow me to meet the previous generation …"
"Master, we have to be careful of Dumbledore … He returned to England for a short while a few days ago. We don't know where he is now …" Lucius looked at his master's expression and quickly added, "Of course, with master's current strength, I think it's more than enough to deal with both of them at once. We Death Eaters are also afraid of the Order of the Phoenix. I'm just worried that if we delay, Grindelwald will escape …"
"I have an idea! Master, even if Nurmengard has guards, we don't have to go all the way there. The terrain there is so big that we can't do anything on our own! " After being glared at by Lucius, Rabastan knew that his behavior had displeased the Dark Lord, so he tried to think of a way to salvage the situation. "We can split into a few teams and go to those big families to rob them of some money and materials. This way, we can act at the same time. This will attract their attention and make them neglect Nurmengard even more!"
Lord Voldemort's pale hand touched the pocket on his waist and did not say anything.
Seeing The Dark Lord's silence, Yaxley, who was not happy that Rabastan had stolen the limelight, immediately questioned, "Those pure-bloods are not dumb. They knew that we were wreaking havoc in Germany, but they still made such a decision. It's impossible that they did not prepare. I bet that the security and the speed of the request for help in these places today will be much more difficult to deal with than usual."
"Yaxley, I have thought of a more suitable target …" Lucius rolled his eyes. "Those pure-blooded families may be more difficult to deal with in this situation, but there is a place where the security has weakened because of the departure of the Aura … and the wealth there is countless times more than what those pure-blooded families have in their homes …"
"Oh? That's a good place … Lucius … "Lord Voldemort, who seemed to have understood Lucius's plan, turned to look at him with his red eyes." The pure-blooded and ever-victorious Malfoy has given us another good idea …
