Chapter 576: Elderly Society? Peter’s thoughts, the saints who left!!

And Grindelwald looked at Peter with displeasure at this time, thinking that he had sabotaged his plan.

Originally, he wanted to put Peter in the position of leader in one step and replace him as the leader of the new generation of saints.

But now, under Peter’s agitation, this plan has come to an end.

“What are you doing, Peter, I am the leader of the saints, not my agent. If I need a surrogate, I can choose directly from the saints, do I still need you? ”

Grindelwald said angrily.

“Gellert, do you think that these saints who have lived half their lives can sincerely recognize me as a leader under your persecution?”

Peter asked directly.

“Your strength can crush them, and naturally you can make them obedient.

As for wanting them to be loyal to you, it’s up to you, isn’t it? ”

Grindelwald said reasonably.

Peter rolled his eyes and said, “I don’t want to bother to subdue these old people, and the chances are slim.” And I’m not the director of a nursing home, and then directing a group of rickety elderly people to fight for me. I have all observed, among your saints, there are actually people older than you, the old man who takes a step to catch his breath, I am afraid that he will burp directly without taking a breath. ”

When he thought that he would lead a group of elderly people to fight around in the future, he was uneasy.

Quickly shake this picture out of your head and let yourself stop thinking about it.

“What do you call a nursing home director?”

Grindelwald was angry, and he corrected, “You compare Muggle old men to wizards?” Don’t you know that wizards’ magic increases over time? Although these saints of mine are all over half a hundred years old, their strength can at least be one against two. Those Death Eaters of Voldemort, in front of the saints, had only the fate of being slaughtered. ”

“As long as you subdue them, you have the most powerful force in the wizarding world, and you can easily do anything. Magic family, the Ministry of Magic dare not mess with you. They’ve lived half their lives, they’ve been with me for years, they’ve survived the elite, and they’ve been precipitated for more than fifty years, and each of them is very useful, not comparable to the disorderly Death Eaters or the vain Aurors,” Grindelwald urged his men to prove to Peter that they weren’t as empty as they looked.

Of course, Peter knew that the strength of these saints should not be underestimated, but he also understood that these saints who had believed in Grindelwald all their lives could not sincerely recognize him as the Lord.

Not even Grindelwald himself could change their will.

So instead of accepting a group of unfaithful men, he might as well act as Grindelwald’s agent from the beginning, so that he would not be resisted by these saints.

If he really wanted to completely control the saints, it would be better to slowly develop the young saints and let the young people who were loyal to him slowly replace these old saints.

In another thirty or forty years, when the older saints die of old age or cannot walk, he can use this to truly eat away at the saints and take them into his hands.

Anyway, compared to endless life, thirty or forty years is not too long for him.

Of course, the premise is that he has such ambitions, but unfortunately Peter belongs to the salted fish attribute.

When he first went to school, he firmly occupied the position of the head of the college, but left the affairs of the college to the deputy chief he promoted to do.

Now let him run this group of saints made up of elderly people, he was even more unhappy, if Grindelwald did not need help, he pointed away.

As if he saw Peter’s thoughts, Grindelwald put his wand to his neck and said to the crowd with a loud incantation: “Everyone, now I will give Peter York the symbol of the saint in your presence.” ”

Saying that, he took out a shiny silver necklace, and in the middle of the necklace hung the symbol of a Deathly Hallow, which looked quaint and simple.

He hung the necklace around Peter’s neck and showed it to the crowd, “Although Peter has refused the right to be the leader of the saints, you need to remember that from this day forward, he will be the highest ranking among the saints besides me.”

He will have full authority to deal with all matters of the saints on my behalf, and anyone who dares to disobey his commands will be considered a betrayal of the saints.

At the same time, he is also my successor, and in the future, after my death, he will take my place and become your new leader, and no one can oppose it! ”

Saying that the magic on his body broke out again, Ling Yan looked at everyone and said: “Anyone who dares to disobey this order will be a traitor to the saints and will be hunted down by the saints.” Peter York has the right to execute those who disobey my orders. Remember? ”

The saints looked at Grindelwald, who was full of momentum, and Peter, who had no influence beside him and was still smiling.

With the previous comparison, they did not have much resistance to this order.

Anyway, in their opinion, as the heir of the chief, it is justifiable to inherit the leader’s position after his death.

So they all bowed down and replied, “Yes, Chief!” ”

“Good!”

Grindelwald nodded with satisfaction, and then swept towards the thousands of saints with different expressions, the wand in his hand swiped towards the edge of the stage, a blue wall of fire appeared, looking at the saints in the audience with a smile, and said: “Now, it’s still the old rule: all those who sincerely recognize their saint identity step over the wall of fire in turn and come to the stage to prove that your original intention has not changed.” Then with tonight’s news, I announce to the outside world that my Grindelwald’s heir, Peter York, will continue my cause, re-establish the saints, and lead the saints to the light.

Of course, it was also to those wizards and the Ministry of Magic who were frightened by my movements tonight, and to reassure them that Grindelwald couldn’t sit still and walk out of Newmungard. ”

Looking at the raging fire, the saints couldn’t help but be frightened and took a few steps back, if they were touched a little Mars, they were afraid that they would be burned to ashes in the blink of an eye.

Especially a small number of saints, their faces were pale at this time, looking at the wall of fire, it was like seeing the end, and they did not dare to move forward at all.

Looking at the saints with different expressions below, Grindelwald finally softened his attitude, waved his hand towards the door to open it, and then said in a complicated tone: “I know that in the past few decades, some of you have become accustomed to a peaceful life and have smoothed out the edges. So I understand your thoughts and don’t force you. So now you can turn around, get out of here, walk straight out the door and go home to live the peaceful life you want. I promise that those who leave will not be punished and will not be prosecuted in the future. It’s just that after you leave, you will no longer be a member of the saints, and you will not be relevant in the future.”

Hearing this, some saints in the crowd changed their expressions for a while, looking at Grindelwald who was calm on the stage, and then secretly looked at the open door, their expressions hesitating, and their expressions were constantly struggling.

In the end, an old man who looked rich, plucked up his courage, walked out, knelt on the ground wordlessly, his head was full of sweat, and after kowtowing with trembling all over, in the surprised and disbelieving eyes of many saints, he turned around and walked towards the gate with shame on his face.

Taking weight-bearing steps, as if facing a gamble of life and death, he did not dare to look back, and his body stiffly walked towards the gate.

Grindelwald looked at the saint walking towards the gate with faint eyes, but did not say anything, did not move, just watched him quietly walk out of the gate, like a gambler who escaped for his life, gasped, quickly left Newmungard Castle, and then in the moonlight, the phantom transfiguration disappeared and left.

With this person as a demonstration, there was a commotion in the crowd, and several saints were full of weakness, did not dare to raise their heads to say goodbye to Grindelwald, and then fled to the gate in a panic, fearing that there would be Grindelwald’s sudden pursuit behind them.

The leading saints looked at the saints who left one by one, angry and anxious, and watched them leave in disbelief.

The old witch Anna was very excited, gritted her teeth and looked at those who hid their faces and fled, the wand in her hand was ringing, and said with red eyes: “I will kill them, they are all some traitors, decades of pleasure have corrupted their heads, they have tarnished the title of saints!” ”

Several sane saints beside her hurriedly pulled her, and Joseph, who was the leader, dragged her with one arm and said sternly: “The chief has already said that he will not pursue them, and you are so impulsive, do you want the leader to bear the stain of untrustworthiness.” ”

About a hundred people left, and there were no more people who left after that.

But Grindelwald still looked at the people below with a flat face, and asked again: “Is there anyone else leaving?” I said that if I don’t pursue it, I won’t break my word, and other saints won’t go against my will. So those who are not determined should leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you don’t cross the wall of fire later, you will only lose your life in vain. ”

In the crowd, some saints looked hesitant, but looked at the indignant companions around them, as well as Grindelwald, who looked gloomy under the blue flames on the stage, hesitating whether their loyalty was enough.

There were also a few people hiding in the corner of the crowd, their faces changed several times at this time, struggling and hesitating whether to leave.

But looking at Grindelwald on the stage, he always felt that his eyes were on them, if he left at this time, would he be killed directly?

And Peter was very curious at the surrounding wall of fire at this time, the temperature of the heat destruction, Peter had no doubt that it could instantly burn and vaporize the steel.

But he wondered how Grindelwald managed to use it to test loyalty and allow loyal people to pass through the wall of fire unscathed?

Grindelwald noticed Peter’s curiosity, smiled on his face, and said seductively: “Want to learn?” Call me Master, I can teach you. If I am satisfied with my attitude, I can teach you other advanced knowledge of black magic as well. In this world, in the field of dark arts research, there is no deeper understanding than me. ”
