While Allen was comforting Penello and feeding her Sprite to calm her down, the situation in the German Magic World did not improve at all. The initial protests had begun to evolve into riots.
At the very beginning of the bank robbery, most of the people who were robbed gathered in front of Gringotts, protesting against it. The amount of compensation that the sprites of Gringotte were willing to pay was far from what the victims were asking for.
Under the influence of the Magic World's lax management habits, the sprites themselves could not determine how many gold coins their customers had stored in their vaults, and the value of some art pieces, magical items, and other family heirlooms was even more difficult to estimate. In the face of the full amount of compensation that the victims were asking for, the sprites thought that many wizards were just taking advantage of the situation to make false claims — although that was indeed the case.
In the stalemate, the sprites decided to temporarily shut down Gringotte, temporarily forbidding the wizards from entering to do business with the excuse that they needed to repair it. However, at this time, there were rumors among the wizard community that Gringotte was about to collapse. Under such circumstances, many wizards, who originally thought that their vaults were deep enough, panicked and wanted to take out their wealth.
At this moment, people neglected the fact that Gringotte was a multinational organization of the sprites. Because the sprites' bank, which they claimed to be the safest, was no longer safe, the wizards, who naturally discriminated and distrusted non-wizard creatures, under the influence of some rumors, the seeds of distrust sprouted in their hearts.
The sprites asked for help from the Sprite Liaison Office of the German Ministry of Magic, hoping that the Ministry of Magic could provide support and come forward to coordinate. Originally, the German Ministry of Magic's attempt to stop the floating city of Hogwarts from entering the airspace had become a national joke. The officials wanted to appease these protests and provide some positive information to the people, so the minister, Hess, took the lead and successfully persuaded the other families and sprites to focus on this difficult situation at this time. He provided much more compensation and relief to the victims than usual for similar incidents.
Other than the completely bankrupt wizard families who had to continue to make a fuss to survive, the situation did improve a little in a short period of time.
But then, the Ministry of Magic tried to temporarily cover up the attack on Newmungaard Prison and the disappearance of the first The Dark Lord, Grindelwald, was exposed by Harris TV, and the international community was in an uproar.
The German wizards, who were already angry that they were banned from watching TV, were even angrier. They only heard about this scandal from their own country after the magazines in other countries followed up with new issues based on the information provided by the British TV station.
Although it seemed that the current The Dark Lord had attacked the previous The Dark Lord, this was enough to anger more wizards, whether in Germany or Europe. Europe was the main continent where Grindelwald wreaked havoc. Even the ordinary wizards who didn't suffer too many losses in Gringotte had more or less suffered the pain of losing their loved ones because of the war. People believed that the current The Dark Lord had already caused chaos in the magic world of various countries, and now the previous The Dark Lord was going to stir up trouble again.
The International Union of Wizards and Wizards gave a stern warning to Germany for their mistake in imprisoning Grindelwald. The British Ministry of Magic also proposed to form an investigation team to Germany to deal with this matter. Although the Ministry of Magic of Germany didn't succeed, his original plan to appease the people with compensation was in vain.
The wizards who lost their loved ones during Grindelwald's reign and were dissatisfied with the current situation also protested on the streets, protesting against the German Ministry of Magic's various foolish actions in this incident. This protest eventually aroused the dissatisfaction of the former supporters of Grindelwald's idea. They didn't think that there was anything wrong with their original idea, and now it was obvious that their former leader had been unreasonably imprisoned for many years and was even attacked in prison. Now, it was being described as if two The Dark Lords were going to join hands, which led to internal conflicts among the protestors.
For the German Ministry of Magic, this was no longer a useless matter. Originally, they had to send out a large number of Aura to search for Grindelwald's whereabouts. What made them even more troubled was that they now had to divide their manpower to deal with the conflicts between the protestors and the protestors.
Yesterday's incident, which was filmed by several media outlets that came to Germany to interview the protestors, completely caused the protests to go out of control.
In this thirteen-minute video, some extreme protestors clashed with the Ministry of Magic's hitmen. However, a Muggle wizard standing on the side of the road was caught by mistake. Perhaps the many days of confrontation had caused this pure-blooded hitman to have psychological problems. Unexpectedly, this hitman didn't use his usual Magic Incantation. Instead, he directly used the Muggle method that he learned from somewhere. He used his knees to press on the neck of the Muggle wizard who was lying on the ground for seven minutes until the Muggle wizard suffocated to death.
In the video:
The hitman used his knees to press on the wizard's neck. One of his hands was in his trouser pocket. It seemed that his entire weight was pressing on the victim's weak neck.
The Muggle wizard seemed to be in great pain. He kept begging the hitman for mercy. "Sir, I beg you. I can't breathe. Don't kill me! Mother! "
However, the hitman was still unmoved. He continued to kneel on the wizard's neck and said, "Then stand up and surrender."
Although he kept asking the wizard under his knees to surrender, the hitman had no intention of standing up at all. The other hitmen just stood aside and didn't let the onlookers get close until the victim's nose and mouth began to bleed and he lost consciousness.
The onlookers began to get very agitated, but the fierce-looking hitman pretended to pull out his wand and continued to warn the onlookers to stay away and mind their own business. Three minutes after the victim lost consciousness, an Aura rushed over and pushed the hitmen away to try to save the victim. However, in the end, the victim named George finally lost his life in this inexplicable violent law enforcement.
The situation in the German Magic World took a turn for the worse. The social environment and atmosphere were seriously deteriorating. Everywhere was filled with uneasiness, anxiety, fear, and dissatisfaction. The local German wizards and even wizards from other countries came together and walked in the streets. Everywhere, there were wizards protesting. They held signs with constantly changing words such as "I can't breathe" and "Muggle Wizard's life is also important." They protested in the Magic World.
The wizards spontaneously began to gather in Frankfurt. The Ministry of Magic sent the hitmen and Aura to drive them away and explain. However, because the number of wizards was getting worse, Heinrich had to let his people retreat again.
After an investigation by the Aura office in Germany, it was announced that the hitmen involved in the incident were maliciously controlled by someone under the control of the Soul Seizing Spell. It quickly developed into a riot that covered the entire German Magic World. Even if the truth was true, the German Ministry of Magic was no longer trusted by ordinary wizards. Now, instead of saying that the wizards were upholding justice, it was more like they were looking for a reason to vent their dissatisfaction and anger.
After that, in Brandenburg an der Havel, which was also known as' Mark's Cradle 'in the Muggle world, another group of demonstrators gathered at the wizard's commercial street. Thirty minutes after the Ministry of Magic received the report, the crowd of wizards at the street had already begun to riot, robbing and attacking businesses and vehicles. Ironically, these robbers did not care about the origin of the victims, and the identities of these robbers themselves were also varied, and there was no lack of pureblood wizards who had fallen from grace.
Hess, the head of the Ministry of Magic, was shocked to find that his original plan to make a little reputation for himself had failed. Not only had he become a laughingstock in other countries, but his subsequent influence was so huge and fatal. In a short period of time, the Ministry of Magic had temporarily lost control of the German Magic World, which had been stagnant for a long time, and had been lacking in changes for a long time.
