#595 - Disharmony (asking for monthly ticket recommendation)

"But what did he mean by saying 'I won't do it again' at the end? He's in this state, what future does he have?"

Anduin muttered with a hint of confusion, then thought of the strange things that had happened with the other party, the Gold Flying Knight who could appear in two places at once, does that mean the other party has any trump cards? Is he still alive?

Moreover, Anduin could clearly feel that Peter, who had just fought him, was not as strong as he had imagined. At least compared to the Phoenix and Thunderbird, Peter's spellcasting intensity and magic storage were inferior.

It's just that gravity magic is too overbearing, having an overwhelming restraint on all wizards within a certain distance, making it very difficult for Anduin to deal with. Otherwise, he wouldn't have fought so hard.

Unfortunately, there is still too little information available, and Anduin was unable to draw a conclusion for a while.

Thinking of this, Anduin shook his head with some helplessness, then took out a bottle of tonic potion and chugged it down. This battle had consumed a lot of him, almost emptying the magic in his body. Even now, his face was still as pale as paper.

After slightly adjusting his condition, Anduin leaned towards Andrei, "How is it? Are the casualties of the others serious?"

"Thanks to your timely action, no one died." Andrei sighed softly, "However, several people were seriously injured, and a dozen were slightly injured, but fortunately the crisis has been resolved, and the culprit Peter has finally been brought to justice."

Andrei lowered his head and looked at Peter. This former colleague of his from the Ministry of Magic was now covered in dirt, and his chest and shoulders were dented by the last two spells. Thinking back to those years, although he disagreed with the other party's political views, he still recognized Peter's character. He didn't expect that in just over a month, the two would stand on two extremes and become irreconcilable enemies.

Then Andrei raised his head and scanned the surroundings. The Aurors had also recovered and came over one after another, but the lingering fear in the depths of their eyes could not deceive others, partly because of their awe of Peter's strength, and partly because of the opponent's identity.

Anduin, who personally killed Peter, didn't feel anything about it. The reason why these Aurors had such a hesitant mentality was because they knew too little. If they knew Peter's origins like Anduin, they would not have any psychological burden at all.

However, this battle was indeed thrilling. Facing the outrageous ability of 'gravity manipulation' for the first time, Anduin couldn't use any of his throwing props, so he could only choose this extremely consuming fighting style.

In addition, Peter's destructive power was truly amazing. At this time, the First Trial Room, the largest area of the Ministry of Magic, was basically in ruins. The entire ground, walls, and even the ceiling were pitted and uneven due to the aftermath of the battle.

Also coming to Peter's corpse, after a brief inspection, Anduin found that it was indeed the body of a normal human, and he didn't feel anything strange, but Peter's corpse always gave him a strange sense of disharmony.

After a careful investigation, Anduin found the problem. At this time, he couldn't detect any magic power on Peter's body. He even took out the 'magic power detector' in disbelief and tested it in detail.

The final conclusion confirmed his guess. There was no magic power residue on Peter's body, as if it were the corpse of an ordinary Muggle.

But this was extremely unreasonable, because a wizard's magic power is basically bound to their body. Even after death, there should be residue in his blood, muscle tissue, and bones, until it slowly dissipates over time.

Anduin had done a lot of experiments on this, so he was able to detect the difference in Peter.

Why is this happening? Is this related to his last accumulation of magic power?

Many questions kept swirling in Anduin's mind. Multiple pieces of evidence were telling him that Peter's death was not normal. After returning, he must immediately start tracking the other Gold Flying Knight.

Seeing Anduin groping and drawing blood from Peter's body, Andrei also felt a little strange, "What's wrong, Anduin? Is there a problem?"

"It's nothing, I'm just doing a routine inspection. Many wizards, even if they lose their vitality, may have hidden dangers, such as viruses, curses, etc. They must be completely eliminated, just like the Phoenix before."

Anduin did not share the doubts he had just discovered with Andrei. He did not plan to bring the Ministry of Magic with him in the subsequent actions against the club, so he just made an excuse to prevaricate.

"You are cautious enough, whether it's the battle or the preparations before and after, I feel like you are more like an Auror than us." Andrei recalled that Anduin was very careful in handling the Phoenix's corpse during the Phoenix battle, and couldn't help but admire him.

Then he jokingly asked, "By the way, will you also write these contents in the 'Tactical Training' canon? I can't wait to see your book."

Andrei was also very clear about the book Anduin was writing. He had even pre-ordered a lot of it early on, preparing to use it as a teaching plan for the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

"Everything that should be there will be there, but I'm still sorting it out. Maybe you'll be able to see it soon." Anduin couldn't help but chuckle when he saw that the other party was so supportive.

Then he took out Peter's space bag and checked the contents in front of Andrei. Andrei had no objection to this. After all, he was the main force against Peter, and Anduin would also share important information with him after sorting it out.

However, after carefully checking, Anduin found that the things in Peter's space bag were surprisingly few. There were only a few Galleons, some Ministry of Magic documents, and some commonly used potions for wizards.

Things related to the club, such as the elixir of life, were completely invisible. The only thing that was more valuable was a portkey, but the landing point of the teleportation still needed to be tested to determine.

"In addition to some internal documents of the Ministry of Magic, there are no high-value items. These documents are basically routine files, and there is not even any illegal content in them. It seems that Peter is usually very careful, and he doesn't even carry any items that are unfavorable to him." Anduin shook his head regretfully. Except for that portkey, he returned the entire space bag to Andrei.

"It's normal for Peter to be so cautious." Andrei wasn't surprised, "By the way, will the next thing be carried out according to the plan? I didn't expect Peter to be so decisive in trying to break the net with us at the critical moment."

"Isn't this also a possibility that we had already calculated? It's just that I didn't expect his strength to be so strong, and the magic he used to be so strange." Anduin stood up and stretched his body. He was also very tired after this battle.

Andrei also stood up at this time and turned his head to look at the Auror next to him, "Pack Peter's body, let's go see the others now. In addition, the second team will immediately go to each department to seal up the offices of the department heads and the Minister's office. The first team will immediately go to their residences outside the Ministry of Magic after handling Peter's body, seal up their residences, and conduct a thorough search later."

"Yes!"

A group of Aurors immediately took action after receiving the order. They were the group of people who had been following Andrei and Anduin for a long time, so they knew the cause and effect very clearly, so they did not hesitate at all.

Anduin returned to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement with Andrei. There were still many things waiting for them to deal with.

The first thing was the wizards who had witnessed the events in the trial room. These people were either Wizengamot members within the Ministry of Magic, or highly respected wizard representatives from all walks of life, wizard family representatives, and reporters from major wizard newspapers.

In order to keep the secret of Peter's identity as the Silver Spear, they must all be silenced so that they don't spread rumors outside and cause panic. This was also the strategy set by Andrei and Anduin.

Although he had already instructed Edmund to do it, Andrei had to unify the caliber with them, even with those 'separatist' wizards. However, he didn't have to be so polite to these suspects, and he could directly use coercive measures.

The official external propaganda was that Peter conspired to manipulate civil groups to maliciously manipulate public opinion, and that he had only an ordinary cooperative relationship with the Silver Spear.

Today's conflict will definitely not be concealed, so it will also be packaged as Peter violently resisting the law under conclusive evidence, until he was killed on the spot by Anduin and a group of Aurors after a hard battle.

In addition, there was a lot of work to be done within the Ministry of Magic, including filling vacancies for dismissed personnel, appeasing employees' emotions, and maintaining the operation of the Ministry of Magic, etc.

In addition to unifying the internal and external public opinion, there was also the need to increase Andrei's publicity and stabilize the situation in the German wizarding world.

After this split, Andrei's prestige will definitely rise to the extreme, and it is just right to use the publicity about him to dilute the adverse effects brought by Peter.

As for the secession law, Anduin's suggestion was not to abolish it too quickly, but to gradually restore it to the state of unification as before.

Because most of the wizards in Germany have been brainwashed by Peter for a long time, and they are generally accustomed to the state of division. Sudden changes may have the opposite effect.

What needs to be done next is to increase publicity, blame the secession inducement on the leaders of those civil groups and Peter and others, and it is best to conduct several public trials afterwards to let those chief criminals personally admit their crimes to everyone.

In this way, after a period of publicity, and through gradual connection of the domestic Floo Network and lifting the soft isolation of Dudenlou, the German wizarding world will be able to regain its vitality in a year or two.
