Chapter 174 The Beginning of the Massacre

"About where the dark lord went in that month in the end, Dumbledore used many means to find."

"At first, he had thought it would be an arduous task, but unexpectedly it was easy to find traces of the dark head's brief stay in many places."

Nick said seriously.

"But after exploring those places in-depth, no valuable discovery was made, and the dark lord only stayed very briefly, mostly staying for a few hours or even a few minutes, then using magic to leave."

"This is very confusing, Dumbledore listed all the locations he had been to all-together, trying to find some kind of connection, but always came up with nothing."

"Soon he figured one thing out."

"The Dark Lord appeared so aimlessly in various places, it was more like he was looking for something!"

"Then, Dumbledore spent a lot of energy, sent out nearly two-thirds of his men, and finally found something unusual in one place."

Nick looked in the opposite direction that Hogwarts was travelling.

Jon also followed his gaze, behind them was an endless sea, but even though the sea was vacant, a bolt of lightning flashed in his mind, as he thought of what Nick was looking at.

"The dark lord has gone to sea!"

Nick nodded seriously.

"Yes, he did not use the apparition again nor did he use magic to fly directly over, but created a raft for himself, and he drove that raft, and went out to sea from the same area where you went down to the sea!"

"This almost let Dumbledore at the time to overlook the past, no one would think that the dark lord who hated all muggles in the world and wanted to kill all of them, actually did not use magic but used muggle means to travel somewhere."

Jon rubbed his bare chin and thoughtfully said.

"This is not necessarily his own will, but perhaps the place he wants to go, no matter what magic he uses he can not get there."

"You have the exact same thought as Dumbledore's!"

Nick exclaimed.

"He sailed alone on that raft, leaving behind all his men in Britain, so eager that he didn't even have time to give them a message of his safety, and set off across the ocean."

"After that, the dark lord's movements became even more difficult to track up, without using any magic also means that we likewise have no way to probe using magic."

"But the good thing is that Dumbledore was reunited with another extremely dangerous person, that person has a pair of eyes that can see into the future, he can know a lot of things without any reason, even if this thing has never happened in front of his eyes."

"He saw certain trajectories in a fog, and then after Dumbledore sent me out to the ocean to board Drake's ghost ship."

"I did make more discoveries over the years, but I am only a ghost in the end, there is no way to behave like a living person, want to really explore clearly where the Dark Lord went out to sea on that raft, it must be done by a living person."

Jon looked at the starry night sky.

By now, he finally understood what the ultimate purpose of Dumbledore let them take the ship out to sea.

He said softly.

"We are here to retrace the path that the dark lord once took."

...

The French magical world became depressed.

A week had passed since the convening of that temporary council meeting that shocked everyone.

During this week, all kinds of news were flying around, but what everyone knew was.

The "greatest gentleman" in Britain is here.

He not only showed up but also brought his pureblood supremacy theory as the new minister of the magic of France, the entire French magical congress became a surrendered government, subservient to the man's black robe.

Originally, only eighty percent of the council members were subservient to him, but after that meeting, three of the remaining twenty percent of the muggle wizard councillors were killed for opposing in session, and the rest were stripped of their status as councillors and became the first "mudblood" slaves in France.

Yes, the man did not hesitate to implement the same bloodline policy in France as in Britain.

The French magical government had become his lapdog, and the Ministry of Magic completed its self-cleaning on the night of the council meeting, and all the Muggle wizard employees were arrested and prepared for slave conversion.

The other half-bloods and purebloods who met the bloodline requirements did not suffer any harassment.

They were still working in their original positions, and everything in the Ministry of Magic was still functioning normally.

But everyone knew that the moment that man appeared in the meeting, the French magical community now and before had become downright two things.

The day after the meeting, the operation began.

The first to bear the brunt was the French Ministry of Magic.

Not only were all the Muggle wizards arrested, but in the Auror office, the newly appointed Minister of Magic made an expansion of personnel.

The new French purebloods who had clearly sided with him joined Auror's ranks, and these people were the main force behind the next operation.

Voldemort issued his first "ministerial order" in France.

From now on all "mudbloods" lose their human rights, are deprived of the use of wands, deprived of personal property, deprived of political rights, and can only be subordinated to the noble blood for life!

This order of course could not be welcomed.

Although the Ministry of Magic and the top brass had already succumbed, the Muggle wizards would definitely not give in.

And for the vast majority of half-blood wizards, even if Voldemort's rule didn't harm them in any practical way, it didn't give them any significant benefits as with the purebloods.

What's more, before Voldemort came to France, it was not feasible only to make friends with half-bloods and purebloods, many of them had friendships with muggle wizards, such friendships may not be enough to make them risk their lives to speak out for the freedom of muggle wizards, but it let them fall into silence about the bloodline policy.

In such a silent, depressing and odd atmosphere, the Aurors began to make their move.

Abolishing the human rights of Muggle wizards was surely more than talk, first and foremost, it was about taking away the wands from their hands!

Fierce resistance also followed.

Every wizard understood that their wands are the basis of their survival. Without their wands, most wizards would lose the ability to cast spells steadily, which is the same as losing the ability to resist.

They began to attack the Aurors who had come to the door to collect their wands, and in the face of this, the Aurors did not hesitate to respond.

They used the Killing curse directly on the resisting muggle wizards!

What is happening in France today is exactly what Britain once experienced.

And at the beginning of the reign of the bloodline, it became necessary to slaughter part of the "mudbloods" for the sake of stability.

The moment the decree to seize the wands was issued, it was the beginning of the massacre!
