Chapter 238 The Strongest Great-Grandson
Grindelwald's men are not just for looting and smashing like the Death Eaters, but for changing the world.
After Grindelwald was arrested, the various magical ministries arrested them, but the result was chilling - no one gave out their accomplices, and some even committed suicide before taking the truth serum!
Damn! These are just non-core followers, and the fanaticism they show is absolutely beyond any cult, and they firmly believe that everyone in the world is wrong, only we are awake! This is exactly the mentality of a martyr, thinking that his terrorist attacks and ideas are right, and the world is wrong!
Now, releasing the more perverted old devil to deal with the new devil, is Dumbledore crazy?
For the sake of greater interests, human lives can be regarded as worthless? His death is in the best interests of the whole world, why doesn't he commit suicide?
This madman almost burned down the whole of Paris! If Nicolas Flamel hadn't come out in time, 2.9 million people would have been slaughtered by him!
Chen Bin spitted wildly, but the text machine kept ringing. He saw that the text message machine was connected to the one in Dumbledore's hand, and immediately pressed the power off button, not even wanting to read the text message.
After listening to the whole story, Kate twisted her fingers and said, "Bin, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it..."
[_? ]: "What is it?"
"Don't you think you are too extreme?" Seeing that he was not excited, Kate continued. "You told me last night that George and Fred would suffer a great loss if they were too emotional, but weren't you emotional today?"
"( ̄(エ) ̄)ゞ: "No? Who would cooperate with terrorists?"
"You still say no?" Kate pointed at his head with her index finger and smiled, "You didn't even read Dumbledore's explanation and turned off the phone directly. It seems that you have been a policeman for too long in your previous life, and now you regard illegal residents as criminals, and even regard Grindelwald as the leader of a terrorist organization without asking the reason, leaving no room for negotiation. Are you going to take me back to China next? ”
[ヘ?]: “Is there a problem with this? Also, it’s common sense not to go along with criminals, so how can it be considered emotional?”
“Of course there is! And it’s a big problem.” Kate took a deep breath and said rapidly: “Not cooperating with criminals is a virtue, but judging without trial is prejudice, isn’t it emotional? You also know that even life imprisonment or life imprisonment actually has a time limit, and even after being sentenced to death with a reprieve, as long as the probation period is over, it will usually be automatically reduced to life imprisonment. The laws of each country are different, but fixed-term imprisonment is usually fifteen to forty years. After evaluation, as long as the prisoner behaves well and repents, he will usually be released early after deducting vacation time. What about Grindelwald? He has been in prison for at least fifty years, right? The reason why he was not released before, was it because someone deliberately ‘forgot’ it? Was his sentence extended by illegal means? Or did he regret and decide not to leave the cell, etc., have you ever understood it?”
Chen Bin’s momentum weakened after hearing this, but he said stubbornly: “What does it have to do with me? I'm not a judge. There are many injustices in the world. It's better to put such bad people in prison and never let them out. "
Kate was not angry, and continued gently: "Remember when I was in the second grade, you said on the train: In your eyes, there is no justice or evil in the war in Europe, only different positions. Then you also taught Hermione not to think that the Ministry of Magic is so kind?"
"This is fundamentally different..."
Chen Bin wanted to argue, but Kate rushed to say: "Don't make excuses. Listening to what you said just now, it is better to say that Grindelwald's gang launched a terrorist attack than to say that they launched a war against the old system. In the end, it was the representatives of the old system who issued a duel application to decide the future of the magic world with a duel, that is, a wizard duel between nobles-not asking right or wrong, only asking strength to determine success or failure. Grindelwald lost, abided by his promise to disband the new order that was about to be established, and became a prisoner of war obediently, not letting his supporters continue to make trouble. However, if Grindelwald won, do you think the people of the old system will really abide by their promise? "
"Uh..." Chen Bin found that he was easily speechless when asked by Kate.
Indeed, the old system represents the power of the old aristocracy, and the old aristocracy has always been a moral principle of winning or losing. They will continue to mobilize the power at hand to fight Grindelwald, even if it means destroying the magic world into ruins.
Are they doing this to implement the noble spirit of the International Statute of Secrecy?
You're kidding! The International Statute of Secrecy was a treaty signed by the Muggles when they were almost extinct. It is a humiliating treaty for wizards.
In the past three hundred years of closed-off period, the old aristocracy has established a huge interest group. As long as the status quo is maintained, they are vested interests. Breaking the International Statute of Secrecy is to break his status quo.
That is to say, now that you have won by doing nothing, why take risks?
"Have you figured it out?" Kate saw that he was silent and continued the unfinished topic. "Although the war started by Grindelwald failed, the magic world has changed a lot since then. At least it is willing to make slow reforms and no longer despises wizards born in mixed-blood and Muggle families. Without Grindelwald, would Nobby Ritchie have become the first Muggle-born Minister of Magic in 1962? If Grindelwald's army had not been supported by a large number of pure-blood, half-blood and pure Muggle-born wizards, would they have been able to sweep across the European and American wizarding world? The various ministries of magic were afraid that the hidden Grindelwald faction would sweep across Europe and America again, so they had to make a lot of reforms, which led to the more equal system and policies today. "
After a pause, she felt that Chen Bin had heard her, and gradually slowed down her speech: "The old forces have won, but they have to respond to the demands of Grindelwald's faction in the system and decrees. Basically, except for the International Statute of Secrecy, all the reforms that Grindelwald requested in the past have finally been implemented. Today, the sentence he has to serve has exceeded the years required by most countries. Isn't it worth it for you to listen to his and Dumbledore's explanation? Is it a legal punishment or an illegal escape? Is he full of evil and deserves to die, or repents and reforms himself? Why should he be sentenced before trial?"
After speaking, Kate looked at Chen Bin quietly, giving him time to think.
After a long time, Chen Bin sighed and asked calmly: "Give me a reason why you would speak for him?"
o(*////▽////*)q: "From his efforts to avoid killing Muggles in the war, he should really want to live in peace with Muggles. If he does not call for the establishment of a world dominated by wizards, pure-blood and half-blood wizards will become their enemies. More importantly, because of his efforts, the current magic world has greatly weakened the discrimination against non-pure blood. Even a witch like me with a very low magic upper limit can enter the magic school and then meet my true love. Do you think he is our matchmaker?"
(ω): "Okay, this reason is very good and powerful. I will contact Lao Deng now."
The next morning, Chen Bin brought his grandfather, no, he brought his grandfather and his uncle to an open-air cafe in London to meet the two demon kings here.
Who is the demon king? Grindelwald is the first generation of the Dark Lord; Dumbledore is of course the modern White Lord!
The person who could fight against the two demon kings and was someone Chen Bin could trust absolutely was, of course, his own ancestor—the strongest mama’s boy has been upgraded to the strongest great-grandson!
(ω)
In general, this meeting started at 8 a.m. and ended at noon. The venue was equipped with a lot of soundproofing magic, and the atmosphere was not very friendly.
The positive image that Catalina had erected for Grindelwald yesterday was swept away before he even sat down.
Dumbledore, wearing a suit, led his good friend who was dressed in the same outfit to the table. Before the two sat down, Grindelwald said provocatively with a disdainful expression: "Boy, I didn't expect you to be so timid. You ran away without a sound yesterday, and today you dared to show up with two bodyguards. I really don't understand what Albus sees in you."
Chen Bin said to respect the strong in a nice way, and to cherish life in a bad way.
However, with the blessing of his ancestors today, Chen Bin naturally couldn't stand the provocation of the Dark Lord, especially when this guy called his ancestor a bodyguard. Does he think his life is too long?
Fortunately, the two ancestors sitting on the left and right of him could not understand foreign languages, otherwise Grindelwald would have died long ago. Even if facing an opponent of higher level, within the three steps of martial arts, no matter whether it is a magic supernatural person from the East or the West, he will definitely not survive three seconds in a fight with martial arts. What's more, Grindelwald is not necessarily stronger than any of the ancestors, and now there are two more.
( ̄へ ̄): "Grandpa, uncle, the short-haired one is not smooth."
Before Dumbledore sat down to introduce himself, a breeze blew across his face.
Grindelwald's disdainful expression froze instantly, maintaining a half-squatting posture, unable to stand up or sit down.
Across the table, the uncle sat opposite Grindelwald, but the spear in his hand just brushed the tip of Grindelwald's hair. At the same time, the grandfather sitting on the other side of Chen Bin thrust out a horse spear from under the table, just against Grindelwald's crotch.
The spear needs no explanation. It has been a military weapon since the Song Dynasty and has a history of more than a thousand years. The horse lance originated in the Han Dynasty and is a weapon for heavy cavalry, with a blade over half a meter long.
The most basic martial arts of the Chen family is of course boxing, and the advanced is swordsmanship, and the more difficult is spearmanship. When there is nothing left to practice, they practice more ancient weapons, such as Mo Dao, horse lance and long halberd, etc. Ahem, Chen Bin has not yet practiced all the boxing skills, so I won't explain.
