Chapter 193: An Upright Duel (3rd)

The next morning, the French Ministry of Magic.

"Tom, we have arranged a manpower at the tomb of Father Lachaise. As soon as Grindelwald appears, we will arrest him immediately. You should not take the risk again."

Tina persuaded Li Chuan worriedly.

After receiving accurate information from Li Chuan yesterday, Tina immediately returned to the French Ministry of Magic.

As for Li Chuan, who had helped arrest the dark wizard and Grindelwald, those high-level officials of the Ministry of Magic naturally believed it, so they immediately sent a large number of Aurors to ambush at the tomb of Father Lachaise in advance.

"No, there may not be Grindelwald's believers in the Ministry of Magic. Even if you make an ambush, you may be leaked. If I have any information after I go there, I can notify you as soon as possible.

Rest assured, maintaining the safety of the entire wizarding community is the responsibility of each of our wizards! "

Li Chuan looked righteous and awe-inspiring, defying life and death.

Standing next to Tina was the Auror director of the British Ministry of Magic, Newt's brother, Theseus Scamander, a war hero of the First World War and the overall leader of the operation.

Seeing that Li Chuan, who is not a member of the Ministry of Magic, has such a great idea, he can't help showing admiration.

"Mr. Foley, I really want to thank you for your help this time. After the end, I will definitely propose to apply for the third class Medal of the Order of Merlin for you. Your contribution deserves it!"

"This is all as it should be. I will go first. If there is any situation, I will take the initiative to come to you."

Li Chuan nodded, then left the French Ministry of Magic, Apparated and disappeared.

He was not optimistic about the arrangement of Theseus sending people to stay at the tomb of Father Lachaise in advance, because he knew that Grindelwald had no plans to hold a secret rally at all.

In the afternoon, Grindelwald will use his powerful magic to release the notice of the assembly. Countless black cloths will wrap around the entire Paris. Any wizard will know the time and place of the assembly after touching the black cloth.

In other words, Grindelwald had long expected that the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic would come to the rally, and would use those Aurors to arouse wizards' hatred for the Secrecy Act and the Ministry of Magic.

So the location and time he leaked in advance will not actually affect Grindelwald, but the Ministry of Magic thinks they have seized the opportunity.

In the grove on the outskirts of Paris, Li Chuan's figure appeared amidst crackling sounds, and then he took out the door key and disappeared again.

After returning to the Foley family's villa, he apparated to Diagon Alley and came to Hogsmeade village by borrowing the fireplace of the Leaky Cauldron.

If his guess is correct, Dumbledore should be in the Hog's Head Bar with a high probability at this time.

Because he already knew from Theseus in the morning that yesterday afternoon, the director of the Department of Legal Enforcement of the British Ministry of Magic, that is, Theseus' immediate boss, was Torquay Travers.

Dumbledore's right to teach at Hogwarts has been temporarily suspended, and surveillance bracelets have been put on his gloves. Any magic Dumbledore casts will be monitored by the Ministry of Magic.

At the same time, more than a dozen Aurors were arranged to monitor Dumbledore's whereabouts 24 hours a day.

The reason is that Torquay Travers suspected that Dumbledore had an affair with Grindelwald, because the two had a very special relationship when they were young.

And Dumbledore, as the only wizard who could compete with Grindelwald, refused to accept his dispatch and went to France to help capture Grindelwald.

And Li Chuan thinks that it's not just this aspect, but also some political factors.

Dumbledore's reputation in the wizarding world is too loud, and many wizards feel that Dumbledore should become the Minister of Magic of the United Kingdom.

It should even be a more important position in the International Wizarding Association instead of just being a professor in the school.

This poses a very big threat to Torquay Travers, who may take over as the Minister of Magic.

So even if he knew that Dumbledore had nothing to do with Grindelwald, he would not miss this opportunity to stink Dumbledore.

It is precisely because of this that Dumbledore pays attention to Li Chuan and Newt, because the Ministry of Magic not only does not help, but always pushes him away.

"Sure enough, there are still many Aurors here."

After Li Chuan came out of the fireplace in the Pig's Head Bar, he immediately saw Dumbledore sitting at the bar drinking, and a dozen or so Aurors who were watching Dumbledore intentionally or unintentionally.

He didn't go forward immediately, but turned and left the Pig's Head Bar, and then came to the huge Quidditch pitch between Hogsmeade Village and Hogwarts Castle.

The purpose of his coming this time was not to really kill Dumbledore. If he really wanted to kill Dumbledore, it would be best to sneak into Hogwarts Castle at night and carry out a close-up assassination.

Because there is a very powerful anti-apparition spell in Hogwarts Castle, even Dumbledore can't apparate when there is no phoenix now, and he can maximize his advantages.

His real purpose is to use this battle with Dumbledore to let people in the wizarding world understand how powerful the mysterious man is.

Therefore, this battle must be fair and aboveboard, but also have an audience that can spread the word. It is not allowed to go out at night in rich clothes, and it is best not to really hurt innocent wizards, so as to prevent their reputation from being ruined.

After much deliberation, only Hogwarts' Quidditch pitch is the most suitable.

Because it was possible to apparate here, it was fair to Dumbledore and him, and the aftermath of the battle would not affect the students of Hogsmeade and the castle.

Finally, there are the little wizards and professors of Hogwarts, who happened to be able to see the battle between him and Dumbledore in the castle, and they are not afraid that it will not be spread afterwards.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

Separated a shadow clone and went to Hogsmeade village, while his main body waited quietly on the Quidditch pitch, preparing for the battle with Dumbledore for a while.

"Is this Mr. Albus Dumbledore?"

Li Chuan's shadow clone walked into the Pig's Head Bar and asked behind Dumbledore who was drinking.

Upon hearing this, Dumbledore turned and looked at Li Chuan, who was wearing a hood to cover his face:

"It's me, sir, I don't seem to know you?"

And the Aurors watching Dumbledore all looked at Li Chuan, and took out their wands vigilantly.

Their task is to monitor Dumbledore to see if they can find evidence of his collusion with Grindelwald, so they are especially vigilant against strange wizards who come to Dumbledore.

Li Chuan slowly took off his hood and smiled:

"Perhaps this way you will know me."

"Did Grindelwald send you to kill me?"

Seeing Li Chuan's appearance, Dumbledore was not surprised at all. Through his undercover work as a dark wizard, he already knew that Grindelwald would send a mysterious person to kill him.
