Chapter 142 Explained
The time came to the last day of 1994, at night, in Augustus Castle in Oxfordshire, England.
Grindelwald was having dinner with Augustus and others, but compared to usual, Ariana had already returned to her brothers.
Because tomorrow is the day of the wedding, according to the tradition of wizards, both married couples should have their last dinner in their own homes.
However, due to the complexity of the relationship between the two old people and the particularity of this marriage, they made a simple decision.
The distribution of the two parties was determined by drawing lots, so Augustus and Julius accompanied Grindelwald in Augustus's castle for a symbolic reunion.
"I thought you would wait until after January 1st, and then directly use violent means to kill. After all, you have already torn your face."
"And haven't you already won the support of the vast majority of people? For that group of clowns who have killed themselves, is there anything else that needs to be won?"
While cutting the top-quality grain-fed steak, he said slowly that Grindelwald still had some difficulty understanding Augustus' methods.
And Julius, who was opposite Grindelwald, also agreed with Grindelwald's idea. While forking the salad in front of him, he asked doubtfully with his hands on his head.
"That is, the Ministry of Magic colluded with Voldemort. I think you must have obtained absolute evidence. At this time, we will directly enter the Ministry of Magic."
"Disclose all the evidence to the public, and then execute those clowns and that undead bald head directly in front of everyone."
"This can not only solve the current problem, but also deter some potential rebels. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone, but why are you still benevolent?"
Hearing the same question raised by the old and the young, Augustus did not answer. He elegantly cut a piece of high-quality grain-fed steak, put it in his mouth and chewed slowly.
Enjoying the juice and unique taste of the beef, after taking a bite of the beef, he picked up the Bolton red wine next to him, took a sip, and wiped his mouth with a napkin.
In the end, he propped his chin with both hands, looked at the two people present with his own eyes, and said calmly.
"Because the method you mentioned is useless at all. Of course I can easily take their lives, but what can I gain?"
"A whole new Ministry of Magic? People like old Barty Crouch, they obeyed my orders only because I saved their endangered political careers."
"But from a fundamental point of view, they are no different from Cornelius Fudge. They also despise Muggles and have no understanding of the outside world at all."
"These people are like germs. Even if all the plaques on the surface are killed, as long as they cannot be eradicated, they will still come back in a short time."
"I'm artificially creating an economic crisis right now where a lot of people are being forced out of their long-term jobs."
"Most of them went to the working environment I created for them, that is, working in the Muggle world."
"As long as the living environment changes, they will inevitably come into contact with the real Muggle world."
"As long as their understanding continues to increase, they will know that the world is very different now, and they will be able to understand how serious their situation is."
"Only in this way can we have the basis for real reform. Not all places will have the will to reform spontaneously."
"Sometimes you have to use the invisible hand to push them, even if the process is extremely cruel."
Hearing Augustus' explanation, Grindelwald reluctantly agreed, but he still asked in doubt.
"What about Voldemort? And those clowns who are against us, even if it's like I don't want to bother with these chores now."
"But I still hear news from time to time that they have seized the Black family's deposit in Gringotts Bank."
"Although those funds were pitifully small, they still managed to win over a group of people. As you said, there are always some people who would rather die than change."
"So what should we do with this kind of people, and do we still hope to use time to change them? Isn't it a bit too slow."
Facing Grindelwald's question, Augustus picked up the red wine glass in front of him, and looked at the old man in front of him through the blood-like red liquid.
Then he said in a very cold tone.
"These stubborn elements will of course be punished most severely. I will not allow anyone to slow down the pace of reform."
"Whoever does this will become the price of reform. After all, if there is a need for results, there must be some price to pay."
"But the reason I didn't kill Voldemort and those clowns was because I wanted to see them slowly go crazy."
"Only in this way can everyone's mouths be blocked, and only in this way will no voice of mercy be heard when the killing is rampant."
"The little wealth in their hands is far from enough for them to accomplish what they want to do, and I have already passed the channel."
"Take almost every Ministry of Magic, cut off all their funding, and now we're an island."
"Just wait until they start to go crazy, and then we, as messengers of justice, carry out a righteous slaughter."
"Story old!"
After listening to Augustus' explanation, Grindelwald couldn't help but say something.
Facing the evaluation of Green and others, Augustus didn't care and said indifferently.
"That's right, it's an old-fashioned story, using their greed for power in their hearts to slowly drive them crazy."
"It seems that we have made a compromise, but in fact it is just a bait released. To create a story requires positive and villainous characters."
"They thought they could be invisible, but I believe that Mr. Riddle will not let us down."
"All we have to do is avoid other people's casualties, and that's what we're already doing."
"As for those clowns who think highly of themselves, and those nobles who are unwilling to continue to cooperate, let them become Mr. Riddle's nourishment."
"Let's not talk about the reason why we raised the butcher's knife. Actually, I really want to know."
"On tomorrow's wedding, whoever of you puts on that white suit will become the role holding flowers."
Facing this question, Grindelwald stood up slowly and said very officially.
"Thanks for the food kids, the older ones need a break, I'm going first."
After speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave, but Julius, who was at the side, felt a little bored, and took out a ring from his arms.
Looking at the gold ring, he asked with some doubts.
"Why not buy some more advanced ones? Isn't it a bit too monotonous to use only this kind of pure gold ring? I really don't know what Papa Dumbledore thinks."
"But I still want to see the scene where he puts the ring on Father Grindelwald's hand."
Hearing this, Augustus wanted to ask more questions, but when he turned around, he saw a figure leaving in a hurry.
