Chapter 566 Pecklo
"Isn't this... a little too harsh?"
The Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement said hesitantly.
The measure Chris just mentioned was not something that would appear in a free and democratic country. Although such high-intensity suppression would shut up those damned minorities in a short period of time, it would inevitably lead to a stronger counterattack over time. Therefore, in the eyes of the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, this measure was actually the same as the decision made by the previous Director of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters. They were all drinking poison to quench thirst!
But Chris obviously didn't care about this. There was a loud bang, and Chris's palm slammed heavily on the table.
He looked at the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement expressionlessly and said in a hollow voice:
"Are you going to be like the previous Director of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters, and kowtow to those damned garbage?"
It was not a pleasant feeling to be targeted by the malice of a legendary wizard. The Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement broke out in a cold sweat. He knew very well that he had just made a fool of himself.
If he fails to do it well, he will most likely be put on the gallows like the Director of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters!
The Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, who had reacted, stood up immediately, not daring to look at Chris, and bowed deeply.
"I'm sorry, Minister Flint, I'm rude!"
There was silence in the meeting room. Chris just looked at the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement quietly without saying a word, and the other officials present also watched with their eyes and noses, and had no intention of helping their colleagues out of the predicament.
The sweat on the face of the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement dripped onto the table, making a crisp sound. In this strange silence, he felt that he was about to burst with nervousness!
Fortunately, at this moment, an owl with a roll of parchment tied to it flew in from nowhere and landed in front of the current Director of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters, Pecklo.
The appearance of the owl attracted everyone's attention, and even Chris was not surprised.
But they didn't say anything, just quietly watching Pecklo slowly remove the parchment.
Because they all knew that the message carried by the owl that could break into such a serious meeting must be very important. This kind of message usually uses the ciphertext dedicated to the Auror Department, so they just need to wait for Pecklo to decipher it.
After a while, Pecklo put down the parchment in his hand, raised his mouth slightly, looked up at Chris and said:
"Minister Flint, my men found some abducted Hogwarts students, and they were all sent back home."
"Speak to the point!"
Chris said impatiently, he didn't care whether the students abducted by Mike and others were dead or alive.
"Yes! Minister Flint." Pecklo continued, "We searched the memories of those students. Although most of the memories related to this in their brains have been blurred, we still got a piece of information. McTownley
and his followers are likely hiding in an unknown secret realm. And one of the entrances to this secret realm should be in Hogwarts Castle. Otherwise, they would not have been able to teleport so many wizards to Hogwarts without anyone noticing, nor could they transfer all those students away!" As soon as
these words came out, the faces of everyone in the conference room changed.
They really didn't expect that McTownley actually had a secret realm. You know, secret realms are extremely rare, and because of their particularity and concealment, secret realms are particularly important to an organization.
Now they finally understood why they had almost searched the entire magical world of Yingguo but couldn't find McTownley. It turned out that this guy had been hiding in the secret realm!
Chris's face also became extremely ugly at this moment.
Because he knew very well that Mike had at least two secret realms in his hands, one was the location secret realm that was discovered now, and the other was the Avery secret realm!
With these two secret realms as a foundation, Mike had no way to avoid the battle.
"Minister Flint, I suggest that the Auror Corps and the Department of Mysteries be stationed in Hogwarts to search for the possible entrance to the secret realm in the Hogwarts Castle. Although the entrance is likely to have been sealed or hidden, this is also a solution."
"Okay, let's do as you say."
"In addition, there is another very important thing."
Hearing this, Chris's pupils suddenly widened, and then he punched the table again.
"Can you finish your words at once!?"
Facing Chris's roar, Pecklo's expression did not change much. He only saw him calmly push his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said:
"Got it, Minister Flint."
Looking at Pecklo's indifferent look, Chris felt powerless in his heart.
Pecklo is an orphan bought by the Flint family. Because of his excellent talent, he was given the surname Flint.
This can be said to be the highest honor for a member of a different family like Pecklo.
This also shows how outstanding Pecklo's ability is.
As long as he is there, Chris does not need to worry about the Ministry of Magic. Pecklo will help him handle everything. The
reason why he was not used before was that his personality was really difficult for Chris to accept.
But now it is different. Now the Deathly Hallows is the most important thing for Chris, and everything else is tolerable!
That's why Chris transferred him from the family to the Ministry of Magic, and not only gave him the rights of the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters, but also gave him a large part of the rights of the Director of the Auror Office.
Looking at Pecklo's calm and punchable face again, Chris took a deep breath, suppressed the desire to beat him up, and waved his hand, indicating that he should speak quickly if he had anything to say.
Seeing this, a gleam of light flashed across the lenses of Parker's glasses. He raised the corners of his mouth and said slowly in a deep tone:
"By monitoring the Floo network and the spatial fluctuations across the country, we found that in recent times, all of McTomley's Los Santos Group has transferred a large amount of supplies. Although they did it very covertly, first they took all the supplies abroad, pretending to be transferring property, but after strict inspection we found that the final destination of these supplies is still within the territory of Ying Country! I guess they must have transferred all these supplies to the newly discovered McTomley Secret Realm. In addition, the
Department of International Magical Cooperation has also found in its daily work that the number of wizards who have smuggled into Ying Country has increased sharply recently.
The infiltration of a large number of smugglers, combined with the crazy concentration of supplies by the Los Santos Group, we have reason to believe that McTomley is integrating the power in his hands and preparing to do something big!"
After that, the whole conference room became noisy. The news given by Pecklo was so shocking that it caused the officials to panic.
You know, if McTomley really wants to do something big, then there is no doubt that they, the officials of the Ministry of Magic, are one of the targets!
"Silence!"
Chris yelled with a frown, and the whispers in the conference room disappeared immediately. Everyone looked at Chris at the top with expectant eyes.
Now they can only pin their hopes on this cruel Minister of Magic.
Chris, who was highly expected by everyone, curled his lips helplessly and turned his eyes to Peklo on the side again.
He knew very well that although his subordinate liked to whet people's appetite, he would never shoot without a purpose.
Just like Peklo did before, since he had raised all the problems, he must have a countermeasure.
Even if that countermeasure may not be so effective, it is better than nothing.
Sure enough, after noticing Chris's gaze, the smile on Peklo's mouth became even brighter.
He pushed the glasses on his nose again and said slowly:
"It must be said that those stowaways are very skilled and powerful, but our Aurors are no pushovers. With their efforts, we have already mastered the whereabouts of some of the stowaways. If things are really as I expected, and they want to gather together to do something big, then we may be able to follow the clues and catch them all in one fell swoop!"
"Nice!"
"Great!"
...
Upon hearing this, the officials in the conference room all breathed a sigh of relief, followed by a round of applause for Pecklo.
At this moment, they began to really pay attention to this official who was airdropped to their level.
Chris also showed an excited smile on his face. He stood up and propped his hands on the table. He stared at everyone with red eyes and shouted:
"Let's do it! This time, we will catch them all! Victory will always belong to us!"
"Victory will always belong to us!"*N
Suddenly, the officials' voices of agreement filled the entire conference room. The sound was so loud that even the owl messenger who was resting in Pecklo's hand was startled.
In this lively scene, Kingsley's expression was a little stiff.
He knew very well that if what Pecklo said was true, then the thigh he had just hugged before might be cut off!
"No! I must remind Mr. Townley!"
Kingsley thought silently in his heart, but on his face he pretended to be as happy as his colleagues around him.
...
The Secret Realm of Freemasonry.
After the meeting with several minority representatives, Mike led everyone back to the base.
The Secret Realm of Freemasonry at this time was completely different from before.
The forest originally located in the north of the base has disappeared, replaced by a large group of warehouses connected together.
A new road has also been opened between the warehouse group and the teleportation hall. Now it has become the most lively place in the entire Masonic Secret Realm. On it are Los Santos wizards carrying various supplies, alchemical machinery, and Hogwarts students who choose to stay to help the Freemasonry.
It must be said that wizards are really super useful tools.
Due to the existence of magic, even a thin little wizard can easily carry hundreds of pounds of supplies.
This greatly speeds up the engineering work in the Masonic Secret Realm.
With their help, in just a few days, almost all the supplies that Los Santos Group has allocated from all over the country have been piled up in the warehouse.
Looking at the people coming and going and the mountains of supplies in the warehouse, Mike also smiled with relief.
Among the supplies that appeared in front of him now, the magic materials and herbs needed for alchemy and potion making accounted for the vast majority, and the rest were finished wands and some things that could not be immediately manufactured to replenish the front line, such as the battle uniforms of the wizards in Los Santos.
These things are strategic materials in the wizarding world.
As for food and fresh water, which are important materials in the eyes of Muggles, they are readily available in the eyes of wizards.
As for why Mike hoarded these supplies, the reason was similar to what Chris and others speculated, that is, he wanted to make a big thing.
However, what Mike wanted to do was much bigger than Chris and others imagined.
What he wanted to do was to directly overthrow the Ministry of Magic under Chris's leadership.
The supplies that came this time, plus those that Mike had transferred one after another before, the supplies stored in the Freemasons are now enough to support a war that lasted for more than ten years.
Thinking of this, Mike tightened his clenched fist again.
This is Mike's determination.
In order to defeat Chris, he was willing to gamble everything he had accumulated over the years!
"Mike, Kingsley sent a message that the Ministry of Magic seems to have discovered our plan. It is said that Chris's people are tracking the guests we invited, and want to find us through them."
Just as Mike was sighing, Benjamin's voice came over.
Mike curled his lips in disdain.
Before the war officially started, Mike also planned to hold a speech to announce his existence and his ideas to the people of the world.
This move will make him an enemy of the Ministry of Magic all over the world, but at the same time, it will also make his reputation spread throughout the world.
He will be worshipped by the world like those great men in Muggle history. Anyone who has common interests and the same ideas as him will flock to him to become his force against Chris and even against the world.
Compared with this, being an enemy of the Ministry of Magic all over the world is not worth mentioning.
The guests that Benjamin mentioned before were the audience who received Mike's invitation and came to listen to the speech.
Among them, they are mainly those guys from the American magic world, plus representatives of multiple races such as giants and tree people, as well as Muggle wizards from some other scattered countries.
The strength of these guys is uneven, and it is normal for some of the waste among them to be discovered by the Ministry of Magic.
In this regard, Mike is not worried, but rather a little happy.
