Chapter 1146: The Number One Threat to the German Magical World
Vincent seemed to give the old people of the WUC two choices, but in fact he only gave them one.
How could a group of old, weak and sick people who were out of touch with the times and had no wands cross the jungle, climb the mountains and reach Nurmengard?
They were criminals who escaped from Eckerstag Prison. If the German Ministry of Magic was any more reliable than the British Ministry of Magic, it should have informed the Austrian Ministry of Magic by now.
So let alone going to see Grindelwald, the fact that they were able to successfully pass through the jungle was considered a manifestation of Merlin.
Old Cramer's mood was the most complicated at this time.
Vincent was a great favor by risking his own life to rescue them from Eckerstag, but it was a bit difficult for him to give up his previous ideals and realize the true coexistence of wizards and Muggles.
"Oh..." He sighed and walked towards Vincent.
"Bernard, you—"
"He's right, Isolde." Old Cramer stopped in front of Vincent. "We are a group of people left behind by the times. The ideas of the Wiccan Party are outdated."
Vincent extended his hand to him, "Welcome to the Order, Mr. Cramer."
Old Cramer looked extremely lonely, because their era had come to an end.
But there was still light in his eyes, and he squeezed Vincent's hand tightly.
After him came Isolde.
Then came von Eisenwald, Straub, Gerlach, Fenris... They joined the Order on behalf of their respective families.
The remaining old members of the Wucui Party did not hesitate too much and chose to join in.
Half a century of imprisonment was enough to disconnect their communication methods and ideas from the outside world, but they were not a group of madmen who only knew how to kill like the Death Eaters, and they quickly faced reality.
The Order Society, which had been established for less than a day, suddenly had 41 members. Vincent seemed calm on the surface, but he was actually very uneasy inside.
Finally taking this step, he would definitely be wanted by more magical governments, hated by more wizards, and become the most unpopular person in the wizarding world of various countries.
He raised his chin slightly and looked at the 41 elderly people in front of him. "Everyone, we will reorder human civilization."
……
……
At the same time, the German Ministry of Magic.
Minister Thaddeus Berg, who had just finished a meeting with the Muggle Prime Minister, returned to his office without stopping. Muller and five other wizards, who had received simple treatment, had been waiting for a long time.
"No need." Minister Berg raised his hand to indicate that they didn't need to stand up. "Tell me what happened in detail."
The report is detailed enough, but it would definitely be more intuitive if the person involved spoke it in person.
Muller told the whole story in a deep voice. When he mentioned Vincent, they all gritted their teeth and were filled with indignation.
Berg could imagine how powerless they were at that time.
"That man... Vincent Wayne, he is undoubtedly the most dangerous dark wizard at the end of this century."
Vincent allowed the Dementors to leave Azkaban in England, which led to the Death Eaters' collective escape. He then disguised himself as Helmut Schmidt and violently left Eckerstag with 41 old Wiccans. The danger level of Vincent was already close to that of the two Dark Lords.
Berg's mouth drooped slightly, his eyes were firm and deep, and his whole body revealed a solemn aura. "Wayne is willing to take risks. His goal should not be as simple as causing panic..."
His eyebrows were twisted into a knot.
Last year, Vincent came here in person because of the magic base station issue. The British Ministry of Magic has confirmed the existence of the backdoor. No matter what, all products under Wayne Enterprises need to be banned immediately.
Berg waved his hand to let Muller and others leave the office, then looked at the magic communicator on his wrist.
Not only in Germany, the wizarding world in all countries of the world has become accustomed to the convenience it brings.
"So that's how it is..." Berg clenched his fists.
Wayne Enterprises gave up most of its profits and only mastered the most core technologies, actually because it had long anticipated that it would be banned one day.
Until there are no alternatives to magic base stations and magic projections, I believe that few countries' magic governments will be determined to give up such a big piece of the pie and completely ban Wayne Enterprises' products.
It is said that the British Ministry of Magic has only issued a wanted order for Vincent. The Prongs and Nobili brands that have cooperative relationships with Wayne Enterprises are operating normally. It seems that they do not have this determination.
Wayne Enterprises, or rather, Vincent, has thrown an irresistible poison apple to the global wizarding community. Once eaten, it will penetrate deep into the bone marrow and create extreme dependence.
But Germany is different. Rescuing the group of witches imprisoned in Eckerstag is equivalent to touching the bottom line of all German wizards. Even if the German Ministry of Magic does not ban it, I believe the people will spontaneously boycott Wayne Enterprises' products.
Berg reached out and took off the magic communicator, stood up and left the office, and went to the conference room on the other side of the corridor.
The situation was urgent, and the high-ranking officials of the German Ministry of Magic who arrived were somewhat unkempt.
Berg waited until everyone was present and then stated the theme of the meeting: "Ladies and gentlemen, from today on, Vincent Wayne is the number one threat to the German wizarding world after Gellert Grindelwald."
The top executives immediately started talking, and some of the quick-witted ones had already taken off the magic communicators on their wrists.
Since it is the number one threat, all Wayne Enterprises products will be completely banned.
"Minister Berg—" A dignified and elegant witch stood up. "It will be difficult to find substitutes for Wayne Enterprises' products in the short term. A hasty ban could cause social unrest."
"I've thought about it seriously." Berg's eyes were sharp, revealing an unquestionable seriousness. "Adelaide, this is the pain we must go through."
Adelaide pursed her lips. "Mr. Minister, Wayne Enterprises' products have penetrated every aspect of wizarding life. Many people have developed the habit of binge-watching TV series and videos, mostly young people. I'm worried that they might become dissatisfied."
Berger had a gloomy face. She was the head of the intelligence analysis department, and her concerns were based on practical reasons.
Just as young British wizards do not have a deep understanding of the horrors of Voldemort and the Death Eaters, young German wizards rarely have an outlet to vent their emotions in the oppressive social environment. Having become dependent on others, they will definitely be dissatisfied with the actions of the German Ministry of Magic.
But if some of it is retained, it will be exactly what they want. At present, Vincent's real purpose is still unclear. If he attempts to subvert the existing system of the wizarding world like Grindelwald, it will be too late by then.
Berg tapped his fingers on the table. "I don't know what other magical governments would think, but in Germany, I will never sit idly by and watch the birth of another Gellert Grindelwald."
Adelaide was slightly stunned.
Although his words sound alarmist, Berger is not making random comments.
Many of the old wizarding elders rescued by Vincent came from ancient pure-blood wizard families. Even though their descendants have been under close surveillance by the German Ministry of Magic, their combined power is enough to shake the German wizarding world.
