BXBX NOVEL Chapter 991: In front of the Palace of Versailles
When Ivan walked into the headquarters, Colin Morton and the Aurors had already arrived, all gathered in the lobby waiting for him to give orders.
After these days of training and running-in, the six hundred Aurors no longer looked like they were scattered before, one by one in neat uniforms, standing solemnly on both sides according to their respective teams.
Seeing this scene, Ivan nodded secretly and said to Fren on the side. "How was the thing I arranged for you three days ago?"
Fren didn\'t dare to neglect and immediately replied. "The results are already there, President Hals. Last night we secretly arrested a senior official of the French Ministry of Magic and got a lot of news from him."
"As reported by Miss Delacour, the entire Ministry of Magic has been controlled by Grindelwald, but the other party has not shown up for a month, and the senior official does not understand Grindelwald\'s movements." Lun added.
"What about Alison? Did the witch I asked you to find out?" Ivan groaned for a while, then asked again.
"According to the person\'s confession, this witch named Alison is also in the French Ministry of Magic and now holds the position of secretary to the minister," Fren replied.
"Very good! You did a good job" Ivan nodded in satisfaction. Because of the urgency, he only gave Furen three days. I thought it would be good for the other party to find some clues, but I didn\'t expect it to be. Really detected Alison\'s movements.
Since the opponent is there, you can get the Horcrux by attacking the French Ministry of Magic.
Thinking of this, Ivan looked at the Aurors on standby and started arranging the task.
The 600 wizards present were quickly divided into three groups.
The first group has the largest number of people, with a total of four hundred people led by Fren. The task is also the most difficult. They will go straight into the French Ministry of Magic and capture the saints.
In the second group, Ivan was handed over to Colin Morton. After these days of observation, the experienced Auror\'s performance in all aspects made him very satisfied.
So after thinking about it, Ivan decided to let the other party lead the 140 wizards of the second group to the Elysee Palace to ensure the safety of the French president, and to control all the people in the presidential palace when necessary.
However, after all, Colin Morton, a wizard in Northern Europe, has only known him for more than a month. Ivan would not trust an outsider 100%, so he arranged Dalis in this team and assisted as the deputy captain. Operation Colin Morton.
As for the remaining sixty Aurors as a reserve force ready to support, or to support their retreat when the situation is completely out of control.
"You need to be secretive in your affairs, understand?" Ivan looked at Colin Morton and others and reminded him that controlling the French president is not a trivial matter. Once the action fails, they will have to confront the French military.
"President Hals, we will pay attention." Colin Morton replied solemnly, obviously also very clear about this.
"So, start acting now!" Ivan\'s gaze swept over the people present, and he said word by word. The disappearance of that senior official would have caused Grindelwald\'s vigilance, and he decided to do it today.
At nine o\'clock in the morning, Ivan and Fran landed on the huge square in front of the Palace of Versailles under the cover of the phantom spell, and the majestic palace appeared in front of them as soon as they raised their heads.
But today they are not the entrance of the French Magic Headquarters where they came to travel.
As a famous scenic spot, there are a large number of tourists in front of the Palace of Versailles. The large number of people makes Ivan frown. They don\'t understand why the French Ministry of Magic wants to set up its headquarters in such a crowded place. They don\'t worry about officials. Are we accidentally exposed to Muggles when we go to work?
But thinking about it carefully, the North American Capitol seems to be even more arrogant. It was designed directly in the bustling Woolworth Building. Perhaps this is the so-called small hiding in the mountains, the middle hiding in the city, and the big hiding in the morning.
Just as Ivan sighed, the four hundred Aurors were already in place. They were divided into several groups and mixed and quietly released magic among the crowd. Some people entered the Palace of Versailles, while others scattered around and expelled them. Muggles roaming the square.
Under the effect of the Confusion Curse, happily came out to play. The Muggles remembered that there were still some urgent matters at home that had not been dealt with, and suddenly their complexion changed and they hurriedly left the Palace of Versailles. There are so many tourists, you can see Muggles gathering here further away.
"It\'s too slow!" Ivan frowned. He was worried that this might attract the attention of the French Auror. So many Muggles suddenly ran out, even a fool could detect that something was wrong.
If the battle starts early and the two sides fight in the square, it is likely to affect or even kill a lot of tourists, which would be difficult to handle.
Fren was obviously aware of this, but he couldn\'t think of a better way for a while.
"How about the rain? It doesn\'t matter if they let them run away and enter the palace, just to gather them to protect them." Ivan said suddenly with a thought.
rain? Fren froze for a moment, and looked up at the clear sky. The weather didn\'t look like it would rain.
Fren turned his head and looked at Ivan. When he was surprised to ask, he saw that Ivan suddenly stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers. The next moment the sky was still clear, the sky immediately dimmed, and the white clouds were quickly swept away. The infestation turned black, and finally accompanied by a striking thunder, heavy raindrops fell one after another.
"What\'s the matter, it\'s raining?" A pair of Muggle couples who came to travel cried out in surprise. They had seen today\'s weather forecast, it should be a sunny day, but the continuous rain curtain is getting bigger and bigger. I don\'t want to The two people who were soaked rushed towards the Palace of Versailles.
The crowd scattered on the square was like a group of ants, rushing towards the inside of the palace together, but what they could not see was an invisible curtain rising from all directions, covering the entire palace group.
