Chapter 351: Peace Talk

September 1995 is destined to be a month that will leave a deep impression on history.

On September 5th, Grindelwald captured Durmstrang and took control of schools.

And officially became the Headmaster of the school.

At the same time, he was also the first Headmaster of a magic school who was expelled from the school and did not graduate normally.

The students there have made the Ministry of Magic of various countries dizzy. These students were born into pure-blood families.

After all, the horror of Grindelwald is only spread in written records, and their generation really has no specific concept.

Several countries joined together and sent 20 Aurors to sneak into Durmstrang to try to investigate.

The result is... there was no word from the Aurors, and it was unknown if they were alive or dead.

Therefore, all the countries at the International Confederation of Wizards quarreled and did not develop a suitable solution.

While they were wrangling, Grindelwald lifted the blockade of the school and expelled some students.

It was only through those who were expelled from the school that they learned that most of the hundreds of students in Durmstrangl had become believers of Grindelwald.

The mentality immediately collapsed.

Boys, we are desperate to save you from the Dark Lord.

As a result, you are indeed the first to surrender.

After these children became preparatory Alliance, the atmosphere in the International Confederation of Wizards meeting became more subtle.

Representatives of magic in some small countries, their families themselves have children studying there.

After careful consideration, it seems that getting on the line with Grindelwald is a good thing.

If Grindelwald succeeds by then, aren't they the Minister for Magic?

For a while, they hesitated whether they should go for it again.

This group gradually became taciturn at regular meetings. Whenever someone asked them, they would answer with a haha.

And this is also the effect Grindelwald wants to achieve, to win over a group, divide a group, and crush a group.

And this set, he still learned from Dumbledore.

Dumbledore is not just to win over Gryffindor and Hufflepuff's fight against Slytherin.

Some people want to wait, and naturally, some people are anxious.

As the countries most hurt by Grindelwald, France, America, and Russia are staunchly hostile factions.

Especially in France, 70 years ago, Grindelwald almost destroyed half of Paris.

They were not even given a chance to surrender.

At the meeting, the representative of France was sweating profusely. "That's Grindelwald. Did he cause less damage a few decades ago?"

"I know what's on your mind, but don't forget that we still have Dumbledore! Isn't it, Mr. Crouch?"

He looked expectantly at Crouch, who had been in a trance since the meeting began.

As head of the Department of International Magical Co-operation, Crouch's importance has risen sharply since Grindelwald's escape.

His department has transcended the interests of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and the Auror Office.

Fudge was naturally very dissatisfied with this, but Crouch handled everything well, and he had no reason to target it.

In fact, Fudge has always had a dark guess in his heart. Could it be Dumbledore who released Grindelwald?

The entire wizarding world knows that only Dumbledore can deal with Grindelwald. In times like these, the superiority of personal force will be infinitely valued.

If Alvin knew what he was thinking, he would definitely die of laughter.

Fudge is really a good man, and he has already figured out who would take the blame for him.

As for why Crouch was so fascinated because Dumbledore found him yesterday and completely made him dumbfounded.

"What? You want peace talks?"

In the Headmaster's office, Crouch, who had come here in secret, looked at the old man in front of him in astonishment.

Just now, Dumbledore asked Crouch to facilitate peace talks with Grindelwald at the International Confederation of Wizards, which shocked Crouch.

"Yes, Barty, I know him. Grindelwald has never been a threat now, and Tom has been lurking in the dark."

"There are already two Dark Lords in this world, and if I put my energies into Grindelwald, then Tom will be delighted."

"What he wants most now is the intensification of the conflict between Grindelwald and us."

Dumbledore was also a little helpless. He knew how outrageous his request was.

Compared with the rational Grindelwald, Voldemort's mental illness is the object that needs to be solved urgently.

Crouch was silent, knowing that Dumbledore's consideration was not superfluous.

Times have changed, and so has the Dark Lord.

Compared to Grindelwald's calm and rational, Voldemort, a terrorist, is easier to handle.

Of course, he also has some selfishness in his heart.

His own son is still under Voldemort's hands. If he kills him sooner, his own son can come back sooner.

The only thing he was not sure about was whether other countries at the International Confederation of Wizards would agree to his proposal.

Looking at the representative of France's Ministry of Magic, Crouch took a deep breath and spat out a few words slowly.

"Otherwise, let's go and talk to Grindelwald."

The representative of France couldn't believe his ears. "I'm sorry, Mr. Crouch, I didn't hear clearly."

"I say, let's go and negotiate with Grindelwald and see what he wants to do."

"Impossible!"

"Are we going to compromise with a Dark Lord?"

"Have you all forgotten the damage he caused your country decades ago?"

"Actually, it's not impossible..."

The whole conference room was hyped up again.

Some people thought it was ridiculous if ordinary people knew they would compromise with the Dark Lord.

It is estimated that even the doors of the Ministry of Magic will be smashed.

Look at them arguing. Crouch's heart was not disturbed.

He had expected it long before he said these words.

"Quiet!" He cast an Amplifying Charm on himself, covering everyone at once.

"My proposal is only to convey the meaning of Dumbledore."

Hearing this, the others became dumbfounded and stared at him in unison.

"Until now, we have not had a face-to-face with Grindelwald, and we have no idea what he wants to do."

"So why don't we give it a try?"
