Chapter 943: The missing key
"Scene reappears!"
Strands of golden light and fog emerged from the magic wands of several people, spreading in all directions, and the onlookers retreated and retreated, vacating an area of about 30 square meters.
After a while, the golden mist gradually condensed into an illusory figure, which was no doubt Minister Igor.
Seeing this, Ivan breathed a sigh of relief. He almost forgot about the Magic Congress of North America, a magic that could trace the traces of magic power in his grasp.
That being said, the truth of this matter will soon be revealed.
Percy obviously thought the same way, her eyes widened and she didn't want to miss a picture.
The illusory magical image is very vague, and I can only roughly see that Minister Igor is pacing non-stop in the aisle, as if waiting for someone.
After about a second or two, Percy's figure appeared on the other side of the aisle.
Secretary Igor looked a little surprised, and quickly stepped forward and said something to Percy.
However, because this is magical power, it is impossible to see the specific mouth shape at all, and everyone present can not restore the content of the conversation through lip reading. You can only see that Percy suddenly drew out his magic wand during the conversation. Aiming at Minister Igor, he released a killing curse.
The dazzling green light flashed in mid-air.
The latter obviously did not expect that the other party would suddenly want to assassinate him, a look of astonishment and incomprehension appeared on his face, and then he was hit by the Killing Curse so straight and fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, Percy leaned down and touched Minister Igor's body. After a second, the magic image ceased, and the golden mist instantly dissipated.
"It seems that things are clear now! It was the British wizard who killed the minister!" A Russian wizard said fiercely.
Percy's face was pale, and he never expected that the reproduced picture would actually be like this.
Did you really kill the minister?
"No, it's not me... it's the Imperius Curse, someone controlled me with the Imperius Curse!" Percy hurriedly yelled, but no one paid any attention to him.
Conor stroked his chin, keenly aware that something was wrong, and immediately waved his hand to let the Aurors from the Department of Mysteries perform [Scene Reproduction] over and over again.
"Stop here!" Conor suddenly stopped by speaking for the third time.
The golden magical image instantly froze, and the two illusory figures were still in the air. It was the scene where Percy released the killing curse on Minister Igor.
Conor stared attentively for a long time, then turned his head to look at Ivan, and asked. "What do you think, Hals?"
"Obviously, Minister Igor is not defenseless against Percy..." Ivan pointed to Igor, the static illusion ahead.
Everyone at the scene looked at Ivan’s point and found that Minister Igor’s hand had already touched the wand on his waist when Percy was swinging his wand to cast a spell, and his body should be leaning to the left to dodge. .
But for some reason, until he was hit by the Killing Curse, Igor didn't move again, as if he was shocked.
But this is very unreasonable. After all, Percy was not attacking ordinary people, but the minister of the Russian Ministry of Magic. Since the other party is prepared, it is impossible to make such a low-level mistake.
"It should be the effect of the imprisonment curse! There must be a third wizard present at the time..." Ivan slowly said, and the story of the matter has been roughly restored in his mind.
Grindelwald first used the Imperius Curse to control Percy, then followed the other party to meet Minister Igor with the invisibility cloak, and finally used the Imprisonment Curse to assist Percy in the killing, and blamed the British wizards to provoke conflict and destroy The next negotiation.
But even after understanding this, Ivan still has many questions in his mind, such as how Grindelwald slipped into the tightly guarded North American Congress headquarters, and how to get Secretary Igor out alone.
"A few gentlemen, take the liberty to ask, why did your minister come to such a remote place alone?" Ivan looked back at several Russian wizards and asked strangely.
Ministers of various countries are usually heavily protected, especially in other people's turf. It is a bit unreasonable not to keep up with the defending Aurors when traveling.
"This... we don't know. Before going out, Minister Igor only told us that he wanted to meet an important person and talk about one thing..." The Russian wizard said hesitantly. At the time they also thought something was wrong, but Minister Igor has always acted arbitrarily, and coupled with his strength, this is the headquarters of the Magic Congress, so they did not say anything to stop it.
"Important person... talk about one thing..." Ivan thought for a while and suddenly looked at Pierce. "Minister Pierce, put yourself in your place and think about it. Under what circumstances would you make the same decision as Minister Igor?"
Pierce thought for a long time, and finally hesitated and shook his head. He was not the reckless Igor, and he would be concerned about his safety no matter what.
"Then what if I have your black material in my hands, or we need to talk about something that is not convenient for outsiders to know?" Ivan increased his tone a little bit.
Pierce's face suddenly changed. If it was like what Ivan said, then he might actually leave the Aurors for the appointment alone.
Conor's heart moved even more, but after looking at the wizards who were watching, he finally swallowed the words that had arrived.
"Is there no way to extract more pictures?" Ivan pointed to the still magical image in front of and asked, the information he possesses is still too little. It was really difficult for Dewo to figure it out.
"No, we were able to reproduce this magical image because of the killing curse released by Mr. Percy, which has residual magical power." Conor sighed helplessly, and then waved his hand to indicate to the Department of Mystery Affairs. The Auror dismissed this magic.
The frozen golden image returned to its original state again, and Percy in the illusion shot that spell to kill Igor, and then squatted on the ground.
"Did he look for something in the end?" someone suddenly yelled from the crowd.
Ivan was stunned for a moment. He listened to Percy's explanation before, so they didn't think about it in this direction. Now it seems that this is indeed possible.
Conor seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He stepped forward and exchanged a few words with the Russian wizards in a low voice, and then asked the Aurors to take off Percy’s clothes and inspect them carefully. Finally, his expression became very serious. Ugly, said word by word.
"The key is gone! Grindelwald came for that one!"
