Hogwarts Begins in 1938

Chapter 187 Curse and Rasputin

"Curse?" Haiwen exclaimed, "Is this cursed?"

While Elena was studying a potion formula, Seymour explained the matter to Haven in detail.

Originally, since they took down the French Ministry of Magic, the situation has been very good. The Ministry of Magic of most European countries has been under their control. Although the Ministry of Magic of several small countries has not yet been cleaned up in the future, they have consciously expressed their submission.

Except for the British Ministry of Magic, which is isolated overseas, because of Grindelwald's attitude, it has not done anything, it is not too much to say that it has unified the European magic world.

At this time, except for a little friction with the witch hunting army, no one dares to provoke their power here in Europe. Just when Grindelwald was preparing to beat the witch hunting army, he suddenly received news that the witch hunting army was killed The sorcerers of the Soviet Union were hit hard. At this time, they had withdrawn their base camp and no longer invaded Britain to stir up trouble.

The intended target was taken first, and before Grindelwald could decide whether to be happy or angry, he suddenly fell ill.

At first, he fainted suddenly, and after finally waking up, he felt chills all over his body, and then the magic power in his body slowly died down. Now, he can't even use a fluorescent flash, and the inexplicable chill in his body , more and more prosperous, if it continues, it may not last long, and it will be frozen to death.

There is no hiccup yet, thanks to his knowledge and experience, he has thought of many ways to suppress and alleviate it. This roasted old man is one of them, and the same is true for the potion that Irene came to brew this time.

"How do you know it's a curse?" Hearing this, Haiwen interjected. After hearing this phenomenon, he felt that it was more like poisoning. Just right.

Before Seymour could answer, Grindelwald sat up and said hoarsely, "It's Rasputin, I've heard of this curse before!"

"Rasputin?" Haven repeated in a murmur. The name sounds familiar, as if he's heard it somewhere.

Seeing that Grindelwald struggled to speak, Seymour rushed to explain: "Gregory Yefimovich Rasputin, a Russian wizard at the end of the last century, relied on his superb magic to sneak into the side of the Russian Tsar. At the peak, he almost controlled the entire tsarist family, and controlled the entire Russian Muggle world in a disguised form, and he was a madman who wanted to establish a wizarding dynasty on the ground by himself."

Speaking of this, Seymour's tone was a bit embarrassing, even Grindelwald, who was deeply hurt by it, admired him with regret.

Hai Wen listened, this seemed to be the legendary monster monk Rasputin in his previous life.I remember that the group of roommates had a very heated discussion at the beginning, whether the guy who slept with the girls in the upper class of Russia knew magic arts, but he didn't expect that the real hammer here was that this guy was actually a wizard.

Of course, the two worlds are different. Rasputin here is a wizard, but not necessarily there. Rasputin there is said to have been shot, and Rasputin here will definitely not die at the muzzle of a Muggle.

Sure enough, after receiving it, I heard Seymour continue.

"Rasputin originally wanted to introduce wizards into Russia after gaining power, so that wizards can obtain official identities in the Muggle world, and then try to break the "Secrecy Act."

Haiwen was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Rasputin and Lao Ge had the same ambitions. They both hoped that wizards could walk in the world openly, but why did they curse Lao Ge this time?

I only heard Seymour's regretful words.

"At the end of the last century, the Russian Muggle world began to be in turmoil. Rasputin had not had time to complete the arrangement. The Czar's control over Russia was getting weaker and weaker. This directly led to his identity being unable to provide much protection. Many Muggles have already tried Assassinate him. Although none of these people could kill him, without the authority of the tsar, even if he could use a spell to kill all those who came to assassinate, what was the use? In the end, he withdrew. Sure enough, after a while, With the abdication of the last Tsar, Tsarist Russia disappeared, and the Muggles established the Soviet Union."

"From the end of the last century to the beginning of this century, we don't know exactly what happened in the turmoil. We only know that in the end, the wizards there formed the Soviet Ministry of Magic, and Rasputin was also absorbed into it and became an advisor to the Ministry of Magic. "

"So, this time it was the Soviet Ministry of Magic who took action?" After hearing the story, Haiwen understood that Lao Ge was cursed.

"It should be." Seymour nodded. "We have contacted them before, hoping to join forces to overthrow the "Secrecy Act", but looking at the current situation, they have refused."

"Rasputin, a generation of lunatics, is dead! Now he is just a lingering old man who is greedy for life and afraid of death. It was in vain that I had hoped for him at the beginning. Time is the thing that can kill people's will!" Grindelwald gasped heavily. Furious, hissed with a bruised face.

Haiwen looked at him speechlessly, he was already like this, but he still tried to talk so much about what to do, just lie down honestly, everyone is not an outsider, so he won't laugh at him~
"So this curse was cast by Rasputin himself? Can he curse you directly from such a distance? Or did he come here?" Haven looked at Grindelwald suspiciously, as if he read a lot, don't lie his appearance.

"Ha, cough cough cough~" He gave a short laugh, and then coughed for a long time, covering his chest, before Grindelwald continued with twitching cheeks, "Who can directly curse me to death from such a long distance? Merlin Can't do it!"

Seymour patted him on the back to stop him from continuing, and explained on his behalf: "We speculate that the curse is the son of old Rasputin, Vlasovich Gregory Rasputin, also known as Little Rasputin. Sputin cast it. Because although this kind of curse does not require any medium, it still has certain requirements, such as the distance of casting the curse should not be too far away, etc. According to the investigation of the Ministry of Intelligence, the old Rasputin is still in Moscow, while the young Rasputin Putin has been present in previous raids on witch hunts."

"Oh~ So that's the case." Haiwen nodded, and then asked inexplicably, "Since we know there are restrictions, why not just change to another place? For example, that villa in the countryside in Warsaw, why do we have to stay here?"

After Haiwen finished asking, he saw Seymour glanced at Old Grid. Old Grid snorted softly and turned his face to the fireplace, as if he could see flowers from the flowing flames.

"Well, after all, this is the base camp we established. If Grindelwald is not here, we have many things that are not easy to handle, so we can only use these methods to suppress the outbreak of the curse for the time being. This is also the meaning of finding Elena this time. I hope she can formulate that kind of potion, and then find other ways to completely solve the curse problem."

Hearing Seymour's answer, Haiwen agreed with it on the face, but curled his lips in his heart, and explained a lot. In fact, it's not that Lao Ge wants to save face and suffer, and he doesn't want to run away. Really, he is such an old man , why are you so stubborn.

Haiwen remembered one more thing, and asked, "Then why does it have to be Elena? Let other people try and fail or something?"

"Eileen is a trustworthy person. Let her prepare the potion, so we can rest assured."

Hearing this explanation, Hai Wen didn't say anything anymore. Thinking about it, it was for Lao Ge after all. If the person he found was wrong, if he got a good drink, it would be over, especially if someone had happened to him before. Betrayal thing.

Now they are able to gather together because of Lao Ge's prestige. If Lao Ge plays GG, the whole power may fall apart the next day. No one is willing to take this risk.

In contrast, Elena, who has Hai Wen as a guarantor and the daughter of an acquaintance Goffin, is more reassuring.

"Huh~" A soft cry startled the three of them who were thinking secretly. They turned their heads to look at Elena. Seeing her confident face, they probably guessed the result. As expected, they just heard her pat her chest and said : "No problem, it's on me!"
