Chapter 112 Prelude to War



"Boss, are we really going to Paris, France?"

A wizard who was also the bartender in the bar came over, stood behind the bar owner and asked.

The bar owner responded without even turning his head:

"There's nothing we can do about it. So many wizards have seen me swear allegiance to the Wizarding Party. This news can't be covered up for long. Sooner or later, the Ministry of Magic will know about it. They can't find other Wizarding Party members. If we continue to stay here, aren't we just waiting for the Ministry of Magic to come to our door?"

After hearing the bar owner's answer, the bartender said bitterly: "It's all their fault! If it weren't for them, we wouldn't have to leave our homeland! Let's continue..."

Before the bartender could finish his words, the bar owner stopped him with his hand and said, "Okay, stop talking! In fact, joining the Witch Party is a good choice! At least we don't have to worry about being blocked in the bar by other dark wizards every day!"

"Moreover, the Wu Party has promised to prepare a brand new bar for us in Paris, which will be even more magnificent than this one! They have been very generous to us. We will be responsible for running the bar in Paris and gathering intelligence for the Wu Party at the same time."

But the bartender behind him still seemed a little dissatisfied. However, just when he was about to say something, he suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the direction of the entrance, followed by countless footsteps running into the bar.

Just as the bartender was stunned, the bar owner shouted: "Go!"

Then, several people in the bar who had reacted were about to teleport away, but dense spells were cast in this small bar.

"Fainted!"

A spell shot rapidly towards the bar owner. The bar owner, who was about to teleport away, had to lower his head to avoid the spell.

But the bartender behind him was not so lucky. He was hit by the spell before he could dodge and fell straight to the ground.

Then, in the small space of the bar, both sides started a fierce battle with spells flying everywhere. The bar owner took advantage of his familiarity with the terrain to dodge everywhere and fight back from time to time. However, in this place where spells were flying everywhere, no one dared to change their positions for fear of being separated from their bodies accidentally.

However, although the bar owner and several wizards under him were able to take advantage of the terrain and fight back from time to time at the beginning, it didn't take long before they were outnumbered and were forced behind the bar in a corner.

At this time, someone on the other side used a loudspeaker spell to say loudly:

"I am Rufus Scrimgeour, head of the Auror Office at the British Ministry of Magic. You have been surrounded! Since you have not used the Unforgivable Curse, I can give you a chance! Throw away your wands and follow me back to the British Ministry of Magic for investigation!"

Hearing this, the bar owner knew that everything that happened in his bar had apparently been known to the British Ministry of Magic. Although it was only a matter of time, the bar owner did not expect that the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic would arrive much earlier than he expected!

But at this time, Rufus Scrimgeour was not anxious at all and was very calm, because he knew that these people in the bar were already in his pocket.

Sure enough, after waiting for a moment, with a "pop" sound, a wand was thrown out from the bar in the corner, followed by several more wands.

Seeing this scene, the Aurors on the scene felt relieved. Rufus Scrimgeour waved his hand and the Aurors surrounded him from all sides.

But at this moment, a magical light suddenly appeared in the corner!

"To pieces!"

A spell was cast directly at the chandelier above. As the chandelier went out, the Aurors at the scene suddenly became panicked.

At the critical moment, Rufus Scrimgeour shouted, "Everyone, corner, stun spell attack!"

With many spells attacking, the bar in the corner was blown to pieces by magic, and Rufus Scrimgeour raised his wand:

"Lumos!"

Then, under the command of Rufus Scrimgeour, the Aurors carefully gathered around the corner again.

In the light of Rufus Scrimgeour's wand, the Aurors discovered that the last few wizards, including the bar owner, were all lying on the ground under a Stunning Spell.

The moment Rufus Scrimgeour saw the boss wearing a top hat, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

"It was really dangerous, boss! Fortunately, you reacted in time, otherwise, they might have gotten away!"

An Auror beside Rufus Scrimgeour said in admiration.

But Rufus Scrimgeour had a serious expression on his face. After a moment, he slowly said, "He is just a wizard who has just joined the Witch Party. He can be said to be the most marginal figure in the Witch Party. He is already so difficult to deal with. It seems that I still underestimated them."

After hearing Rufus Scrimgeour's words, the Aurors who were originally jubilant at the scene had to put away their joy, and everyone silently carried the unconscious wizard out of the bar.

However, when Rufus Scrimgeour led the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic out of the underground bar, they saw that Knockturn Alley, which was originally like a pool of stagnant water, was now like a pot of boiling hot oil. Many wizards looked panicked and were almost running through Knockturn Alley.

Originally, Rufus Scrimgeour thought that these wizards who usually hid in Knockturn Alley were so panicked because they discovered the arrival of the Aurors, but soon, Rufus Scrimgeour discovered that these wizards simply ignored his group when they passed by.

"Boss, something seems to be wrong!"

An experienced Auror took out his wand and said with a wary look on his face.

At this moment, an Auror suddenly shouted in fear: "Look, what is that?"

Rufus Scrimgeour and others looked in the direction the Auror pointed, and saw a huge black veil moving in the sky not far from Knockturn Alley without wind, slowly floating in one direction.

In the direction where the black veil was coming from, there were already many buildings that were completely covered by the black veil.

"Where have I heard of this scene?"

An Auror muttered to himself as he watched the scene before him.

Rufus Scrimgeour stared blankly at the scene in front of him, his face turning pale instantly. After a moment, Rufus Scrimgeour anxiously ordered the Aurors around him: "Quick! Go back to the Ministry of Magic! Everyone, hurry!"
