Chapter 1246
Solim and his party had been gone for a while, but the two knights were still sitting on the couch in silence.
They can't help but be silent.
Because they didn't figure out Solim's path.
They actually left like this, and they really didn't worry about the consequences?
Harold and Paul muttered for a while, thinking that even if they reported Solim's and his group's transgression, it was estimated that the matter would be settled in the end.
Why?
Because they are not possessive.
Because it's not to the point of turning the other cheek.
Because the two sides are in the honeymoon period, it is impossible to fight the wizard for the sake of them as capitalists.
Even in order to show sincerity, the two knights may be suppressed by the government.
Harold wanted to denounce it, but he wasn't sure if the wizard had left his hands on him.
The mark on his chest reminded him all the time that the sorcerer had cast a spell on him.
Muggles are to magic what wizards are to finance—they don't know anything.
Harold did not dare to guarantee the consequences.
But he decided to give it a try anyway.
He dug through the room with pen and paper to write a letter for Paul to hand over. He wanted to use Paul's confession to see the consequences - Harold didn't think they would be able to snoop on his thoughts when the wizards were gone.
But at the moment when the pen and paper touched, the first letter was not finished, Harold first felt a sudden palpitation, and as the sentences in the pen gradually became complete, a sharp pain that swept through his body instantly hit him.
"Ahh
He screamed and fell off his chair, breaking his nose in the process.
"What's the matter?" Paul ran over and grabbed him.
At this time, the butler also heard the screams and pushed the door in.
"Sir, this is ......"
"I ...... It's okay. Harold covered his nose, blood staining his placket.
The pain in the heart comes and goes quickly.
"I just accidentally fell. "
"I'm going to call a taxi. "
The butler was about to leave, but Harold stopped him.
"No, no. Just get me some paper, I have something to talk about with Sir Paul. "
Harold finally understood why the wizard didn't worry about reporting them at all.
Ideas can be there, but as soon as you take action, punishment will come immediately. Only when the movement is interrupted will the severe pain subside.
It is conceivable that as long as he wants to say something to others, he will lie on the ground in pain before he finishes speaking.
Paul, who had already learned what Harold had just done, pondered for a moment and asked with some hesitation:
"You say...... Will anesthesia or painkillers help?'"
Harold looked at him.
"I mean, can we use medical means to shield this severe pain so that we can speak normally?"
"I don't know. Harold shook his head, "But I'm not ready to try it if I'm not sure." My mind went blank just now, and by the time I came back to my senses, I was lying on the ground. "
"Do you understand what that means? In the case of a punishment episode, I have no sense of autonomy at all, and ...... Have you forgotten? "
"You mean?" Paul wasn't sure.
"Imperius Curse!" Harold worried, "When we first woke up, I can assure you, we were under the Imperius Curse!"
"Is that the magic that wizards use to control others?"
"Yes, this is it! We've been under the Imperius curse, you know!" Harold touched his nose and saw that it was no longer bleeding.
"Remember what the materials say about this spell?"
"Just because the spell caster no longer controls you doesn't mean you're free from the spell. He may keep the spell in effect whenever he needs to. "
"But I remember that only a handful of powerful wizards could do it, and that Selwyn was so young...... It is said that he has just graduated from school. "
Paul tried to put things on the bright side.
"Well, if it's any other wizard, you're right. But have you forgotten...... He's already used it for us!" Harold pointed to his head and said, "A recent graduate can already use this ...... Yes, the Unforgivable Spell, that's what the wizard calls it. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"He could control us at any time. Harold chattered, "I don't know what you felt at the time, but I felt peace and happiness...... Hell, I've never felt this way in my life. "
"Me too, it was like a dream, and I found that I didn't want to wake up – it was intoxicating. Paul also had a dark face.
They all understood what that meant, which meant that as long as the wizards wanted to control them, they didn't have the slightest ability to resist.
Add to that this painful punishment that could come at any moment...... It's really not an exaggeration to say that they were slaves.
If they want to resist to the death, the two pampered knights don't have that kind of courage at all. With their lives and property in mind for the time being, they want to wait and see.
Maybe that wizard will die tomorrow?
Unfortunately, it backfired.
The next day, a letter appeared on the pillows of the two knights. The language is gentle, reminding them that it's time to get to work.
This incident made the hazy sleepiness of the two councillors disappear in an instant. Being able to silently put the letter next to their pillow, this kind reminder that they can all appreciate the warning meaning contained in it.
But as Harold had predicted, the capitalists, who were not subordinate, did not heed his advice and stop their presence in the wizarding world, but were ready to intensify their efforts and get another vote before the wizarding world could introduce a formal law. []
Harold and Paul knew they couldn't convince them without telling the truth. So in accordance with Solim's previous request, a list of relevant personnel was submitted.
On the third day, the day before the committee, there was a major earthquake in the financial and political circles of the United Kingdom.
The chairman of a certain foundation had an accident while taking the elevator downstairs, and the cable broke and the entire box fell off, and the insurance measures did not work, and the chairman himself died.
An important person who was also a director of the bank and a member of the Exchange Promotion Committee died of a heart attack due to the failure of resuscitation.
When a certain earl was out and happy, he died of myocardial infarction due to a sudden situation.
..................
The permanent vice minister of a certain department fell down the stairs, resulting in a cerebral hemorrhage, and died after rescue efforts failed.
One after another, the bizarre deaths immediately made headlines in major newspapers, but the headlines of each newspaper were different.
The headline in The Times was the permanent undersecretary with a cerebral hemorrhage.
The headline in the Financial Times was the chairman of the foundation who died in the elevator.
As for The Sun...... Their headline was the Count who died in his bed.
It can only be said that it is very consistent with the characteristics of various newspapers and periodicals.
Ordinary people watch it for fun, and they don't have the slightest affection for these people. But it's not the same for people at the top.
After combining the identities of the deceased who unfortunately died, they found that most of these people were members of the Exchange Promotion Committee, and the other part was the most ruthless against the wizards.
The case was closed after the results of the forensic examination.
Although some people know that there must be something going on here. But so what?
Because according to Muggle law and medicine, there is no doubt about these cases, all of them are accidents, and there is no trace of human responsibility.
The heart attack of the bank director, the merry earl, and the permanent undersecretary of the cerebral hemorrhage were all eyewitnesses around them at the time.
Only the elevator where the Foundation chairman is riding is still investigating, but it will be blamed on the accident.
How else could it be?
Harold and Paul were in the know, and after seeing the wizard's methods, they realized that they had no choice.
Unless they also want to die in an "accident".
