Lavier's information surprised Elwyn. It was beyond his expectations.
In Elwyn's impression, although Lord Voldemort was known as the most evil Dark Sorcerer in modern times, his actual power and influence were not as great as his reputation made it out to be. In fact, it was far from the former The Dark Lord, Grindelwald's.
The most evil thing about Lord Voldemort was that he had split his soul seven times to create a Soul Vessel.
Although most Sorcerers did not know that he had created a Soul Vessel and used such evil magic, they knew that Lord Voldemort was immortal. This was what everyone was most afraid of.
Other Dark Sorcerers, no matter how powerful they were, would eventually be defeated or face the Grim Reaper.
However, Lord Voldemort had conquered death. An unkillable and undefeatable monster was beyond everyone's imagination.
Not to mention, he was extremely cruel and would not hesitate to kill those who opposed him …
Everyone was afraid of him, or rather, they were more afraid of death itself.
Especially when Lord Voldemort returned this time, it proved that he was immortal.
Everyone was so afraid that they did not even dare to mention his name. This was not surprising.
But that was all. Fear and submission were two different concepts.
Yes, Lord Voldemort was the most evil Dark Sorcerer in the world, but he was not the leader of all Dark Sorcerers.
He was only the Dark Lord of the Death Eaters, not the demon king of the other dark forces.
From Elwyn's point of view, Lord Voldemort's sphere of influence was only in the United Kingdom and had not expanded outwards. He was far inferior to the first The Dark Lord, Grindelwald.
After all, Grindelwald had conquered most of Europe at that time.
It was said that his influence had begun to seep into America …
Lord Voldemort did not have such luck. As the most famous Dark Sorcerer after Grindelwald's failure, his rise was too fast. He lacked experience and the external environment was not good, which was disadvantageous to him. The Muggle Country no longer engaged in large-scale wars. Peace and development became the main theme.
Needless to say, he met Dumbledore at his strongest.
For the world's most powerful light Magi and the most evil dark Magi to appear in the same country at the same time was both a blessing and a curse.
Ever since the rise of Lord Voldemort, the war between the two of them had begun.
It was also known as the "First War of the Sorcerers" by modern magic historians. Although the war was tragic and had a great impact, it was only limited to England.
It had to be said that this was an extremely rare occurrence.
At his peak, the Lord Voldemort had built an army of darkness that was even more powerful than Grindelwald's.
However, his luck was too bad. If he did not defeat Dumbledore, he would not be able to expand.
In other words, he could not exert his influence on a larger scale.
Especially in Egypt, which was far away from the British mainland, the situation should not be so tense.
"After the news of the mysterious man's return came, the dark forces in the entire Middle East were ready to make trouble." Lavier said, "Elwyn, you know, the situation here is far more chaotic than where you are …"
Elwyn nodded. The Muggle countries in the Middle East often had conflicts and even wars because of territorial disputes, political and religious ideologies. It was indeed very chaotic, and it also provided the soil for the development of black magic and dark Magi. It was not an exaggeration to describe the situation here as a "powder keg". It would explode at the slightest provocation.
However, this situation was not new. What did it have to do with the resurrection and return of Lord Voldemort?
"You mean, Lord Voldemort and the Death Eaters have begun to move in the Middle East?"
"Yes. At first, it was just all kinds of rumors, and it was not as tense as it is now. Everyone was talking about the mysterious man's resurrection and return. There were also many dark Magi and desperadoes who went to England to seek refuge with Lord Voldemort, but only a small number," Lavier said. "Everyone is saying that the second War of the Sorcerers is about to begin …"
"It has already begun, but the main battlefield is in England. After all, Dumbledore is still there," Elwyn replied.
Defeating Dumbledore was the first step. Only by defeating Dumbledore could Lord Voldemort proceed with the subsequent actions.
However, this was also the most difficult and the main purpose of the war.
Elwyn was not surprised at all that there were dark Magi and desperadoes from other countries seeking refuge with Lord Voldemort.
He knew very well how attractive Lord Voldemort was to these people. In Dumbledore's words, the dark forces that gathered around Lord Voldemort were very complicated. There were weaklings who sought protection, ambitious people who wanted to gain some prestige, and cruel people who were attracted by a leader who could teach them a higher form of cruelty.
There should not be many of these people. After all, not everyone was willing to leave their country.
As mentioned earlier, Lord Voldemort was infamous, but his actual influence was not that great.
Only by defeating Dumbledore and leaving England would he be able to gain the support and allegiance of all the dark Magi in the world.
These people were not fools. Before the outcome of the battle was decided, they were more inclined to wait and see.
"That's what everyone thought at first. However, more than a month ago, those desperadoes and dark Magi who went to seek refuge with the mysterious person suddenly returned. They went to the entire Middle East and Africa, contacted the local dark forces, and launched frequent attacks." Lavier paused for a moment and then continued, "I heard from my tribe that the main purpose of doing this is to collect corpses and capture magical creatures. They want to take these things to the mysterious man in exchange for his reward …"
"Lord Voldemort's reward!"
Human corpses, souls, and all sorts of magical creatures. This was really …
After hearing Lavier's words, Elwyn immediately knew what was going on.
The fact that Lord Voldemort was collecting these things meant that he was ready to cast that evil black magic and transform himself into an evil god!
Elwyn's heart sank. He was thinking about what he should do now.
Lord Voldemort currently did not have the ability to make all the dark forces join his army, but he could use the so-called reward to get them to help him collect the materials for that black magic. His reward was very attractive.
What Lord Voldemort did not lack was evil magic and the power of darkness. He knew far more magic than other Magi, even more than Dumbledore. These were things that other dark Magi dreamed of.
Lavier continued. Elwyn knew that since the attack, the Ministry of Magic in Egypt and other regions had been struggling to deal with it.
Over the past month, the whole world had been in chaos, shrouded in the dark shadow of Lord Voldemort.
In order to obtain the reward from Lord Voldemort, all the dark forces were on the move.
The United Kingdom was relatively stable. After all, Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix were there. However, other places were not!
People were dying everywhere. The most chaotic place at the moment was the Middle East, where all sorts of terrorist activities were happening.
It was not just the dark forces that served Lord Voldemort. Many dark Magi and desperadoes were also taking advantage of the situation.
The region was already chaotic, and now it was even more chaotic.
