Chapter 299： Grindelwald's counterattack

"Big news?" Sean walked over and took the newspapers from the twins.

"Merlin Weekly Express", a well-known weekly newspaper in the wizarding world, it is said that the editor-in-chief is very well-connected, and often has quick news published.

Sean unfolded the newspaper, and above the most conspicuous page was a large line of words in bold and black.

"Room to turn around? Dark Lord or Victim? Fact or Conspiracy? 》

Below is a photo of Grindelwald's speech in Nurmengard. In the photo, Grindelwald's eyes are gentle and powerful, and he smiles at the students in Nurmengard.

Sean looked down.

"If there is any news that has shaken the wizarding world the most in recent decades, it must be that the evil deeds of the former headmaster of Nurmengard, Grindelwald, were exposed, and after resisting arrest, they sparked the horrors of Paris."

"We learned through two official channels, the International Federation of Wizards and the United Wizards Guard, that the venerable Gellert Grindelwald was once the Dark Lord who committed numerous crimes."

"For a time, the wizarding world was shaken, and arrest warrants with a reward of up to 500,000 Galleons appeared in newspapers and magazines all over the world, and posted several main activities of wizards, and even in the Muggle world, there were [serial murderers] Grindelwald's arrest warrant has been issued."

"Under such circumstances, almost everyone is convinced that Grindelwald had planned many unknown terrorist attacks, and the founder and principal of Nurmengard became a wanted criminal overnight."

"However, the huge impact of this turmoil has been eliminated for the most part in just one summer vacation. Not only did the Wizards United Guard, who lost its interim leader, speak very little, but most importantly, it was called the Dark Lord. Grindelwald caused no incident during his absconding."

"Yes, you read that right, considering the limitations of collecting information for many wizards, we at Merlin Weekly Express spent half a month collecting information from all over the world in detail, and now we can tell everyone. Green Devore, one of the most powerful wizards in the world, in such a long time, he did not launch any action, let alone take revenge on the 'witnesses' who stood up, he seemed to have become a ghost. . "

"Readers, may I ask, if Grindelwald really was as described in the remarks made by the Wizards United Guard, such a powerful wizard with a strong sense of vengeance and ignoring the rules and laws, would he have done nothing? ?"

"Of course, guesswork alone doesn't prove anything, and we at The Merlin Weekly Express have always lived up to our purpose of journalism - fast, truthful, objective."

"This newspaper received a photo yesterday, and this photo is the top priority of this report!"

"At the same time, we solemnly promise that the photo has been identified by a famous wizard, and there is no possibility of forgery, and our newspaper is also willing to take responsibility for the authenticity of this report."

It was only then that Sean noticed that someone had cast an ingenious little magic spell on this weekly magazine, and the word "truth" floated out of the paper.

Triggering magic spell, the source of magic power is very small, and it should be the photo that represents the truth.

Sean touched those two words and entered a trace of magic into it.

The photo of Grindelwald was distorted and blurred, replaced by an entirely new photo.

The photo is slightly shaken, but the protagonist's face can still be clearly seen. It was a middle-aged woman with an old-fashioned expression. She was wearing a long Muggle trench coat and a polite linen on her head. She was half-bent, and she had been carefully paying attention to the situation around her.

Sean's eyes widened, this person he was all too familiar with!

However, the other party was burned to ashes under his own eyes.

That was the witch who led a kind of **** to capture Grindelwald that night, and that was the interim head of the Wizards United Guard, Cyril Marshall!

This……

The words in the newspaper seemed more conspicuous and dazzling.

"Yes, who is this? Cyril Marshall, the interim head of the Wizards' United Guard! According to the overwhelming reports, this 'heroic' witch was unfortunately killed while hunting for Grindelwald. Leader of the Guard, she fought bravely and died in the flames of Grindelwald, and even! The International Confederation of Wizards has decided to posthumously award Lady Marshall the Order of Merlin, Second Class!"

"So, who can tell me now, who is this lady who looks exactly like the late Ms. Marshall? According to the public information of the escort, Cyril Marshall is alone and has no family, and she has no one who grew up with her. The exact same sister!"

"Also, readers, allow me to remind you. The place where this lady who looks exactly like Ms. Marshall appeared at the time was-Belgium! That is the headquarters of the United Wizards Guard."

"We can fully suspect that Ms. Marshall is just suspended animation!"

"I think someone will ask questions at this time - what is the purpose of Ms. Marshall's suspended animation? Worrying about Grindelwald's revenge, you must think so, right?"

"First, none of the **** who hunted down Grindelwald and survived that night suffered Grindelwald's revenge. Second, don't just pay attention to one face, look to the rear right of our witty Ms. Marshall—"

Sean looked for words, and only then did he realize that he was completely attracted by Marshall in the center of the photo just now. Behind her, there was a middle-aged man with the same stature. The man had short and capable hair. The long beard in Sean's impression has been shaved off.

"I bet you all remembered that man's name too. That's right, Rosa Onassis, who was also posthumously awarded the Merlin Knights 3rd Class Medal after 'sacrifice' with Ms. Marshall that night!"

Rosa Onassis... Sean narrowed his eyes, to be precise, this person should be an older pure-blood surname, Rosa Mopsos.

From the blood of the ancient Greek prophets, it is also a part of the mastermind in Sean's mind.

"Another 'overdue' deceased wizard! If Ms. Marshall is the interim head of the **** and she needs to hide her existence because of her identity, what about this Mr. Onassis? The thoughts of the other escorts Is the member different from him? Why does he hide himself?"

"We have reason to suspect that in addition to these two 'dead people' who have already appeared, several other wizards who have also been buried are likely to be alive like their companions!"

"Here, my dear and wise readers, has the whole thing become more subtle? Let me help you recall that it was reported in all the mainstream media that Grindelwald caused more than a dozen guards that night. The death of the team members, at the same time, he also caused the sky-high fire in Paris, and after that, the short-lived terrifying flame giant is also considered to be Grindelwald's trick."

"All of this is all news from the 'live audience', that is, the members of the **** team!"

"Professor Dumbledore, who assisted in the arrest of Grindelwald, didn't say anything about the matter after solving the Paris fire that night! He didn't tell everyone with certainty that Grindelwald did those evil things!"

"Also, please allow us to provide one more additional information. That night, the flame giant was summoned outside Paris, and this terrible magic also pointed to Grindelwald. However, don't forget that our French Ministry of Magic, which is good at raising our hands, still sent Two Aurors were sent to check the situation."

"Two people died unfortunately, and no one knows the situation at the scene. Of course, the two Aurors who have been confirmed dead are considered to have suffered the poison of Grindelwald, or, in other words, the poison of the flame giant."

"However, according to our reliable information, the corpses of the two Aurors are obviously in a strange state of death, and that situation is not due to the Killing Curse, flames, or great power, but a charred black on the body surface. Twisted lines. That is to say, the two Aurors probably did not die at the hands of Grindelwald. After all, if such a terrifying flame giant was summoned, Grindelwald, who had been defeated by Dumbledore at that time, would not need to Did you use some kind of weird black magic on purpose?"

"The voice of the **** team has always been very high among the people, and their actions have been recognized by many people. We didn't want to speculate like this. Suspicious points follow doubts. As a newspaper that strives for the truth, we must be sure about the authenticity of the news. Responsible, we have to wonder, are those previous reports the truth? Or - is that the so-called 'truth' that others want us and the public to see?"

"Here, the Merlin Weekly Express is just making a conjecture. Maybe Grindelwald didn't cause any killings that night, maybe he just wanted to prove his innocence..."

"However, someone deliberately 'died', the situation at the scene was deliberately concealed, and everything seemed to be announcing to the world that Grindelwald was so evil. After all, if you are not guilty, why would you resist arrest, you Why are so many 'innocent' wizards killed... all of this is worth thinking about."

"However, what is more worrying is-if, if all the speculation in this newspaper is true, then why, why frame such a great wizard who has made great contributions to the wizarding world, behind all this, What conspiracy is hiding..."

"Above, all my colleagues in "Merlin Weekly Express" bring you this report."

Sean slowly put down the newspaper and muttered, "Here it is..."

In the eyes of others, this report has loopholes and ambiguities that are not fully explained, but the photo alone can prove a lot.

At the same time, the person who wrote this report is quite clever. He has linked every doubt together, and small loopholes are often covered up by bigger doubts. What's more, it seems that all this is ineffective when reasoning according to the logic of the other party. fault...

But Sean, who was at the scene that night, knew everything about the matter. Whether it was Marshall or Mopsos, he watched the other party burn to ashes with his own eyes.

And the only person who can play tricks in this is Grindelwald!

As soon as this "whitewashing" comes out, it is no surprise that many people will change their positions in the discussion on Grindelwald!

And Mopsos, no, it should be Rosa Onassis, he has been hiding his identity, and it is exactly like this, a non-specific identity instead corroborates all kinds of doubts about his fake death.

However, those ancient pure-blood families can't explain it - wow, that person is actually a member of our family, and he did so for fear of retribution.

First of all, let's not mention the doubts brought about by the ancient family's involvement. You must know that the fact that those families were set on fire by Grindelwald was not written in the newspapers.

Obviously, they just don't want to appear in everyone's sight early.

Huge doubts are exposed, and you can't explain it even if you want to explain it. The only remaining witness that night, Sean, was from Grindelwald's group...

Sean couldn't help but sighed in admiration, Grindelwald's method is really powerful...

I just don't know if he thought of this temporarily, or if he had already prepared for it.

On the side, excited Fred and George patted Sean on the shoulder.

"Man, big news!"

"Your Dark Lord teacher is on the way to whitewashing!"

The two sang together and seemed more excited than anyone else.

Sean waved his hand casually: "That doesn't matter to me, it's a game between them, and I can't get involved."

Beside her, Hermione, who had also read the report, folded her arms in her arms and murmured, "If the guards can't explain these doubts clearly, as long as similar reports continue to be published, after the public opinion ferments, Mr. Grindelwald may even be cleared of the crime... …”

Sean shrugged: "I'm afraid the guards don't have that much effort. I guess they didn't think of this combo."

"Why do you say that?" Hermione wondered Sean pouted to another page of the newspaper: "Well, the Guard is currently running for the first person in charge, tsk, how long has it been since it was established? Organization, there are already factions with different ideas."

Another page of the paper read: "Conservatives vs. Radicals, Who Will Be the First Chief of the Guard?"

However, this also gave Sean a message that the **** team is not monolithic, and the core leadership is not completely controlled by the mastermind behind the scenes.

It is normal to think about it. The **** team is very powerful, but the establishment is still a little hasty. Obviously, there is an external force driving it, but that external force has not completely penetrated into the core.

However, there is a huge problem with Grindelwald's layout.

That was Professor Newt Scamander, who had just said goodbye to Sean.

The venerable old man once spoke out in full view of the crimes that Grindelwald committed decades ago. Now, Grindelwald wants to clear his name, but it is difficult for Newt to do so without changing his words. everything.

Because, Newt did not change his words, the guards naturally stood on the high ground of law and morality, no matter what their original intentions were, but as long as the teacher was famous, it would be reasonable.

If Grindelwald wants to be whitewashed in official institutions, no matter how big his fist is, the word "reason" cannot be bypassed.

Sean looked up to the eighth floor, where the principal's office was.

So, in the end, it's still up to Dumbledore's choice, isn't it?
