Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The Arson of the Ministry of Magic
Just as everyone expected, after Scrimgeour's strike, the law and order of the British magic community had problems.
In just a few days, with the deliberate support of some domestic and foreign forces, the number of cases filed by the Magical Law Enforcement Department increased rapidly. This had a very bad impact on the reputation of the Ministry of Magic in the magic community.
Wizards did not dare to go out alone at night. Even if they went out during the day, they would try not to go to more remote places, and they would not bring with them things like pocket watches and jewelry that they used to show off their wealth.
In more remote streets or alleys, if it was an Aura or a strike team alone, they would even be provoked by criminal gangs. Currently, only the floating city that belonged to Harris could be protected by the armed forces of the Umbrella, and everything was still normal.
The immigrants who began to protest due to their beliefs and inequality became one of the key targets of the Umbrella to maintain stability. Under the unprecedented vigilance of the floating city, the immigrants could not protest on the floating city, so they focused their attention on the British mainland and used this period of time when the patrolling Aura went on strike to spread their ideas to others.
This kind of behavior, compared to the safety of the floating city outside the city, increased the dissatisfaction of the wizards living on the ground, and deepened the hostility between each other.
Until someone crazily set his target on the Ministry of Magic building itself, because the armed Aura was sent out, resulting in insufficient security.
On the seventh day of Scrimgeour's strike, it was three o 'clock in the morning.
A few armed Aura who were still in charge of patrolling the Ministry of Magic noticed strange noises coming from the main hall area on the eighth floor of the Ministry of Magic. They immediately ran to check it out, and there were rolling and rushing sounds everywhere. In an instant, they had a bad premonition, and what they saw later proved this bad omen. These armed Aura guards who belonged to the most elite Aura were terrified.
All the fireplaces that were connected to the flight network were burning with magic flames that did not belong to floo powder. The raging flames turned into beasts and monsters that were wreaking havoc in the main hall, devouring everything in their path. Everywhere they went, everything turned into ashes. Some of the flame monsters went into the elevators, and some just came out from other elevator shafts.
"Li Huo! Someone set fire to the Ministry of Magic! "
The Aura didn't choose to extinguish so many fiery monsters at once. Instead, they quickly sent out the news through their bow ties. The armed Aura were sent out to maintain order in those key locations. The Ministry of Magic's current security was much weaker than before.
Then, the Aura that stayed behind began to form a small team and rushed into the main hall. After casting the fire for a period of time, they had enough time to devour the things that they devoured to strengthen themselves. Sensing the approach of the living creatures, the magic energy immediately rushed towards them.
More and more flames began to transform into a large group of beasts made of fire: fire serpents, Kamala, and fire dragons. They rose, fell, and rose again. Their fangs swallowed everything, and their claws tore everything apart. The hellish flames engulfed the decorations that the Ministry of Magic had accumulated over the years.
The Aura tried their best to use the End of Ten Thousand Curses and Li Huo Counter Curses to keep the fiery monsters in place, making it harder for them to drill into other floors to strengthen themselves.
However, in this predicament, the 'Fountain of the Brothers of Magic' in the main hall of the Ministry of Magic was unavoidably attacked.
Those flames were reflected in the originally worshipful eyes of the centaurs, fairies, and house fairies. The blazing fire serpents darted out from the top of the wizard's magic wand and hung onto the arrowheads of the centaurs. Then, they shot out from the tip of the fairy's hat and the two ears of the house fairies.
The group of pure gold statues that were larger than a person were also burned by the fierce tongues of fire. The tongues of fire turned into fire serpents and swam down from the top of the magic wand of the noble-looking wizard. Wherever they passed, the gold was melted, and the wizard was burned beyond recognition. The melted gold fell onto the face of the beautiful witch beside him, as if it was tears of blood.
The sound of water splashing could be heard all around, accompanied by the sound of the burning flames. Soon, the messy footsteps of the wizards could be heard.
When the armed Aura that was maintaining law and order elsewhere rushed back to the Ministry of Magic, the fierceness of the fire was far beyond their imagination. The Aura that stayed behind had driven most of the flames to the main hall, but the ones that drilled into the ground from the elevator were not only known by the Aura that stayed behind. Even the buildings that had been enchanted with fire protection spells were not spared. The Magic Sports Department on the seventh floor of the underground Ministry of Magic was completely engulfed in flames. On this floor, the headquarters of the British and Irish Quidditch Alliance, the official Highstone Club, and the patent office of the funny products were all destroyed. The Magic Transportation Department's Phantom Transfiguration Testing Center was also hit.
However, with the return of a large number of Aura and strikebreakers, the fire in the main hall began to be controlled. The Wolf Mother and the Umbrella Team called several armed Aura that belonged to the Aura Special Operations Team. They put down their beak masks and used the Bubble Head Spell to store some fresh air. Then, they took the lead by riding brooms into the elevator shaft. After that, they tacitly divided into two teams. The Wolf Mother left Victor as the commander and rushed to the seventh floor, where the fire was more intense, while Victor continued to lead the Special Operations Team up to the sixth floor.
Since the fire on this floor was not big, Victor and his team advanced quickly in the Magic Transportation Department and found the culprit of the arson of the underground building of the Ministry of Magic in the Door Key Office.
The short and stout sorcerer, who had a crazed look on his face, stuck his foot into an iron bucket. Sparks of fire shot out from the tip of his wand and set the room ablaze. This meant that it was a key to the door, and the sorcerer was waiting for the activation time to come to an end so that he could escape.
Seeing that the Aura had come in, the wizard seemed to be surprised. He immediately pulled out his wand and began to use the Black Magic Spell at the tip of his wand.
However, the professionally trained Aura discovered him immediately. They instantly understood that the wizard in front of them was obviously the culprit who set the Ministry of Magic on fire and made them restless tonight.
The armed Aura who reacted faster quickly and silently cast Petrification, trying to stop the wizard and capture him alive. But almost at the same time, Victor also cast a Hindrance Spell, which hit the iron bucket precisely.
The wizard, who was hit by the Petrification Spell, stood upright. His leg that was originally stepping on the iron bucket and his other leg were closed together. This made the bucket, which was under the influence of the Hindrance Spell, much stronger than it should have been. After the wizard and the iron bucket rubbed against the ground for some distance, he spun a few times in the air like a straight branch thrown out, and then plunged into the fire that he had just cast.
Shocked, Viktor quickly grabbed the lower half of the wizard's body and dragged him out of the fire. At least, he managed to drag a part of him out of the fire.
In the short period of time before Victor cast the Counterspell, the wizard's collarbone had been burned into something similar to carbon residue. When Victor dragged him out, there was a cracking sound, and a black mark was drawn on the ground.
The Aura who cast the Petrification Spell was frightened when he rushed over. He had no intention of killing the suspect at all. He needed him alive for the investigation. The other Aura looked at Victor, who was standing there, and felt uneasy. He was the son of the minister's trusted aide, John Bartha. He was also one of the most outstanding Aura guards in charge of protecting Harris. If someone wanted to find out who was responsible for this, he would not be held responsible. However, the few of them who had no background would be implicated.
Victor, who was frowning in annoyance, felt their stares. He glared at them fiercely and did not blame them. Instead, he scolded, "What are you waiting for? Quickly come and verify the identity of the thug. "
The Aura looked at each other, and their tense nerves relaxed a lot. They quickly surrounded the wizard and carefully searched him. Victor's attitude meant that he would not pursue the matter. Now that they found out the identity of this person, they could make up for their mistakes.
Victor led most of the people to start the fire. The Aura who cast the spell just now led two of her colleagues to start the investigation. The wizard's head was now charred, but the Aura had this kind of spy training before the reorganization to train their investigative skills.
According to the memory of the man's appearance, the curved corners of his eyes, the corners of his mouth, and the Italian accent when he shouted, they could preliminarily conclude that this person came from Italy. The Aura continued to search the wizard's pockets and sorted out all the things on his body. From the documents, they confirmed that he was indeed an immigrant.
Then the Aura took off his shirt and let out a low cry. There was a mark on his arm. A big python emerged from the mouth of the skeleton like a tongue. This was the mark of the Death Eaters.
