74. Prepare For War

"Why do you say that?"

An Asian man scolded, "What if he hides? He's just an orphan, helpless, and has no relatives or friends. He doesn't even know where the gate of New York is."

Abernathy was unhappy, and his forked tongue moved around in his mouth. He glanced at the man, didn't reply, and quietly returned to the queue.

He didn't reply, but Grindelwald spoke for him, "Then I want to ask you, Krall, how do you know that he must be there?"

"I don't know, but..."

"But now that you've been looking for him for two months, have you found him?"

"No, but..."

"But? But what? Two months, my dear subordinates, the subordinates I value, spent two months turning the entire New York City upside down without finding him, without a sound or a trace... Krall, under such circumstances and intelligence, do you think Credence is more likely to hide in New York and hide from all of you than he is to escape from New York?"

Krall shut up. Of course, he couldn't tell anyone about his thoughts, let alone his immediate boss. It was easier to pinch his life than to pinch an ant.

Could he not know that Abernathy had a point?

"But, sir, the world is so big. If a person deliberately wants to hide, we have no way of finding him." Grindelwald's female assistant, his true believer - Vinda Rosier stepped forward.

Vinda Rosier comes from a French pure-blood aristocratic family. She has noble status and extraordinary talents. She is also the only daughter in the family. Vinda has everything she wants.

According to the rules of drama, such a woman must be thinking of doing something.

Fall in love with a poor boy?

No, but almost.

At a grand ceremony, while she was still on campus, she accidentally ran into Grindelwald, who was giving a lecture in France at the time. She was convinced by it, and she began to collect Grindelwald's words, study them, and believe in them.

The more she believes, the higher Grindelwald's status is in her heart. She is like Icarus who wants to fly to the sun. The closer she gets to Grindelwald, the deeper she sinks.

But she doesn't feel like Icarus, she's right next to the person she admires most, she's right next to her sun.

She regarded Grindelwald as a god, which allowed her to gain Grindelwald's trust, and she also became the person who was more powerful than one person in the Alliance.

But it also makes others a little afraid of her.

She is a true believer. 

"Vinda, don't worry about whether you can do it or not. You will only know if you can do it." Grindelwald's voice softened a lot. He gently straightened Vinda's wrinkled veil and said, "Don't be confused. Find your destination and be smart. Credence can only speak English, so the direction of his escape can exclude Asia. People who escape often deliberately stay far away from the place of escape. What better place than halfway across the world? suitable?"

The beautiful eyes under Vinda's veil flashed: "Europe——there are many countries, the situation is complex, and the most important thing is that the language is fluent."

"Great, let's do it."

Vinda immediately made a salute, which was the supreme etiquette of their Alliance: "Rest assured! Europe is under our jurisdiction, and as long as he remains in Europe, he cannot evade us!"

Grindelwald nodded, and the members of the Alliance who received the order disappeared one by one.

Grindelwald was also guessing. Although it sounded logical, it was not true. 

What made Grindelwald guess that Aurelius was in Europe was that he had just been reminded by Abernathy and then recalled the original prophecy scene. 

Aurelius was fighting someone. The place where they were fighting was a street. Through the limited screen, Grindelwald discovered that it was a block with typical European-style buildings on both sides. 

He thought it was the United States. After all, America and Europe were of the same origin, and it was not unusual for the architectural styles to be the same.

He felt that he was familiar with Credence's character, and felt that it would be difficult for Credence to escape from the only city he was familiar with. 

Unfortunately, he miscalculated.

Not only did he miscalculate when facing Aurelius, but he also miscalculated in the original plot. He didn't expect that Credence's obsession with finding his life experience would be so great. He didn't know this.

He was very busy and had no time to care about the life experience of a squib destined to be discarded by him. Until Credence showed his power.

Aurelius didn't know that Grindelwald, who had escaped from prison, was gathering his followers to hurriedly search for his traces all over the world.

But he could guess.

This is not a complicated question. Aurelius had thought of it as early as two months ago when he saw the news about Grindelwald's prison escape.

It was also from that time that Aurelius reduced his energy in studying blood spells and began to increase his time practicing magic.

In addition to magic, Aurelius also has the heritage of a summoner. He has been practicing the Blade Code for over six months, but he can only be considered a beginner. It is not easy to learn the skills and experiences of the many warriors in Valoran. 

He has only recently started his journey in the summoner's ability. Improvement is limited for Valoran's summoners, unlike in the game where leveling up can be achieved after a few matches. It takes a lifetime of learning and studying.

How many summoners have died without mastering all the summoner skills?

Nevertheless, Aurelius already has an idea of Obscurus's development path. 

He plans to guide Obscurus towards becoming a magic warrior.

But what exactly is a magic warrior?

Heroes in Valoran can be divided into two main categories: physical and magical. 

The characteristics of these heroes can be further divided into warriors, mages, tanks, assassins, supports, and marksmen. Each of these positions can be further subdivided. For example, warriors can be classified as light warriors or heavily armed warriors.

Warriors fall between assassins and tanks in terms of positioning. Light warriors prioritize lethality and aim to eliminate opponents while minimizing damage taken. Heavily armed warriors prioritize tanking and believe that survival is crucial.

However, these positionings are not absolute and vary depending on the hero.

Magic warriors, on the other hand, are warriors who specialize in spell damage.

Although balance is important in the game, Aurelius is not concerned about it. He wants Obscurus to become a formidable force, capable of fighting, tanking, healing, and escaping.

But this may not be entirely realistic.

Aurelius still prefers Obscurus to be a light warrior. With its inherent survivability and summoner skills like teleportation and flash, dealing damage is key.

"It's almost time to gather the runes... power."
