After Dumbledore finished speaking, he ignored the students who were talking amongst themselves again, walked off the podium, returned to his seat, and then sighed worriedly.
In fact, he was also very helpless. Everything happened too fast.
At that time, he learned from Takumi about the origins of Lancer Artoria and the others, as well as the actions to overthrow Britain and rebuild the Camelot Dynasty. He was also going to try to see if he could stop it. After all, this is a naked invasion, and it's a cross-world invasion!
As for the reasons, people don't even know how to complain. You, a King Arthur from another world, want to rebuild Camelot. Why do you come to us?
But no matter how outrageous this thing was, Dumbledore felt that he had to do his part to prevent the world from being destroyed by the invaders. But before he could rally anyone, the battle was already over!
What's even more outrageous is that the guys from the Ministry of Magic actually welcomed the "Master King" and directly surrendered to the enemy!
His actions were discovered, and before a belated operation to save the country had begun, he and a group of old guys who had just arrived were all invited back to the Ministry of Magic for tea by the Aurors. Fortunately, they did not have time to act and did not cause any damage. After being criticized and warned, they were released.
At this point, Dumbledore also knew that there was nothing he could do to save the situation, so he had to accept the result. But he still felt sad.
"Headmaster, do we really want this?"
The other professors were worried at this time and asked Dumbledore anxiously. In fact, they had not accepted this change yet. They were teaching the children as usual today, and suddenly a group of people came to Hogwarts. Then these people left, and in the blink of an eye, they quickly swept through the UK and became the new rulers of Britain.
Not only that, even the Ministry of Magic was taken down, and Britain fell into the hands of the invader in all aspects. Then there was such a wave of drastic changes. At the end of the day, things happened so fast that most of these professors had not fully reacted, and their minds were still confused even now.
"Of course. His Majesty King Arthur has fully taken over Britain. Whether it is the secular world or our Wizarding World, His Majesty has the final say. Do you dare to disobey His Majesty's orders? Not to mention that there is such a transcendent force behind this; we can't resist even if we wanted to."
Dumbledore saw the worries of these professors and comforted them helplessly:
"But you don't need to worry so much. Her Majesty is a kind and diligent King. She implemented these reforms for the benefit of the people of Britain, which naturally includes us. Hogwarts introducing secular teachers and starting science courses is not a bad thing.
As I just said, these children will enter a new society in the future. In terms of the size of the Wizarding World and the secular world, the new society will be dominated by the secular world. If children do not understand worldly knowledge in advance, it may be difficult for them to move forward in the future, or at least it will be detrimental to their independent life.
Although Hogwarts has many fine traditions, it is still a school. Since it is a school, it should prepare children for the future, not hold them back."
Speaking good words for the intruder made Dumbledore feel bitter in his heart, but he had to do it. He was also afraid that these professors would do something wrong, so just like him in the afternoon, they might go in to "drink tea."
Although they might be released soon, we are now in the most turbulent period of change. They can ignore their own safety, but these students at Hogwarts cannot. If the professors all get arrested, who will take care of and protect these students at Hogwarts?
"Yes, it should be so."
"Yes, yes, we can't hold the children back."
"Yes, if that happens, Hogwarts' reputation will be ruined."
After Dumbledore explained this, the sensible professors immediately figured it out and accepted the result. Seeing this, Dumbledore stopped talking and turned to look out the window, his thoughts drifting into the distance.
I don't know how the old guy Gellert is doing now...
Thinking of Grindelwald, Dumbledore couldn't help but feel more helpless and regretful. If he had known that this would happen, he shouldn't have called him at that time...
Gellert Grindelwald, the first Dark Lord, is the most powerful wizard in the world today besides him. When faced with such a big thing as fighting against invaders from another world, Dumbledore immediately thought of this old man who had been fighting with him for most of his life.
He was thinking that for such a big event, Grindelwald would be able to come out and cooperate with him for a time. Thinking about it made him a little excited.
However, what he didn't expect was that Grindelwald came out of his prison and arrived quickly after receiving the news. But what made Dumbledore dumbfounded was that Grindelwald did not come out at his invitation, let alone come to an appointment to discuss the great cause of saving the country.
When Grindelwald arrived, behind him followed a group of elite Aurors. The atmosphere at the scene was so awkward that it was frozen.
Dumbledore was discussing a rebellion plan with a group of old wizards who had just arrived. He thought that his comrades were coming to join him. After he finished, he opened the door and found...
Damn! It was actually the Gestapo who came to check the water meter!
Then, Dumbledore and his group of rebels were dramatically destroyed as soon as they assembled. When he was interrogated afterwards, Dumbledore found out that he was the one who was late.
Grindelwald was released by Lancer Artoria after the Ministry of Magic was captured (he could not be imprisoned in the first place). After some verbal exchanges and physical exchanges, Grindelwald became a general under Lancer Artoria's command.
The position is nominally the Chief Wizard of the Palace. He is similar to a mage like Merlin. He is responsible for commanding the Ministry of Magic and managing the wizards. In fact, Grindelwald is essentially the head of the secret police, specializing in helping Lancer Artoria deal with those restless people in the Wizarding World.
And what a coincidence. Grindelwald had just taken office here, and Dumbledore's secret invitation letter was sent.
As the saying goes, a new official should hit the ground running. Grindelwald had just been appointed, and the next second someone was about to rebel, and he was actually invited to do it—and this person was also his old enemy.
Faced with such merit that came to his door, Grindelwald naturally couldn't refuse. He politely accepted it with a smile. Immediately, he led a group of Aurors to the plot location in the letter and gave Dumbledore a big surprise!
The following plot, as mentioned before: Dumbledore and his group of rebels received a warm welcome in the Ministry of Magic. However, in the end, because there was no time to implement the action, and even the plan was not discussed, they managed to escape disaster.
After being educated and warned, they were also traced with special magic. They were prohibited from performing magic outside of work and residence for a period of time, and they were released. Then, when Dumbledore returned to Hogwarts, he received a request for school reform.
Seeing that Grindelwald had turned to the side of the Camelot Dynasty and willingly acted as the enforcer, Dumbledore, who understood that there was no way back, complied. So there was the scene where the news was announced at dinner.
As for what Grindelwald, who was being talked about by Dumbledore, was doing right now? Of course, he was working hard.
Lancer Artoria's enthronement ceremony and national speech were not only for the secular people, but related news was also announced in the Wizarding World through the Daily Prophet. Only then did the wizards in Britain finally receive the news, knowing that not only had they changed their nationality, but that the Ministry of Magic above them had also changed hands.
This news was like a depth charge, causing waves in the Wizarding World of Britain. Wizards of different nationalities don't really care, since secular rules can't control them anyway. But the change of ownership of the Ministry of Magic has made many people intolerable.
The wizarding community has existed since ancient times and has never been ruled by a monarch. The only official organization here, the Ministry of Magic, uses an election model. If the Minister is not good, he can be impeached and removed from office. Over the years, everyone has gotten used to it.
Now you tell me that the Wizarding World is going to implement a monarchy?! How can the wizards accept this? Although this King is Pendragon, the King assisted by their ancestor Merlin. But what does this have to do with us?! Merlin didn't set any ancestral precepts that he must be loyal to the Pendragon royal family. Why do you think you can rule us just because you want to?
Therefore, except for most pure-blood families, as well as wizards who come from secular families or whose fathers are secular and feel that there is nothing wrong with welcoming a new King, many wizards began to protest and even plotted rebellion. There were also some Dark Wizards who took advantage of the troubled waters, causing a lot of chaos in various places in the British Wizarding World.
Grindelwald, the enforcer, naturally had to take care of these things, so he had to work overtime to quell the unrest and arrest the rebels.
The specific process is roughly: Open the door! Check the water meter! .JPG, Open the door! FBI! .JPG
Facts have proved that the decision to accept Grindelwald as a general was a wise one. As soon as he appeared, the wizards who protested became paralyzed on the spot.
No! Brother! I'm just getting a little excited, you didn't have to let this big guy out, right?! Using this big boss to suppress us is really making a mountain out of a molehill!
The protests disappeared instantly as the loudest wizards were invited to the Ministry of Magic for tea. Joke! Even Grindelwald has been released; who the hell dares to continue to protest? I'm afraid it's not the old birthday girl who hanged herself—he's tired of living!
Even the Dark Wizards who took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, when they saw that this big boss actually came out and became the enforcer for the new King, how dare they have any small thoughts? They hurriedly hid, not daring to show up again.
However, the appearance of Grindelwald gave the wizards who were plotting rebellion a handle. Even Grindelwald, the Dark Lord, dares to be used. Doesn't this mean that you (Lancer Artoria) are not a good person either?
As a result, secret rebels quickly sprung up, and some wizards who were still hesitant at first joined in this great cause of saving the country. Then, they finally recalled why Grindelwald was officially listed as the most wanted criminal by wizards from all over the world. Because this man is really dangerous! That mouth can be called a wizard's version of a certain dictator!
Faced with the increasing number of rebels hiding in the dark, Grindelwald was too lazy to investigate one by one. He directly went on a magical broadcast to give a speech to wizards all over the world.
The content is still his old story: If the wizards don't cheer up, they will be finished sooner or later. He lifted the fig leaf of the Wizarding World's seclusion and poked at the current pain point of the Wizarding World's incompetence, needing to hide from the secular world to survive.
However, the following content was different from the past. He no longer held up the banner and asked the wizards to follow him into war. Instead, he took out the promises that Lancer Artoria had made to him before and used them to entice the wizards, saying that as long as the reforms were implemented, good days for the wizards would come!
Now there is no need to be like before, needing to follow him and fight with your life. The opportunity is right in front of you, without taking any risks or making any actual efforts. As long as you show your loyalty to His Majesty the new King, cooperate obediently with the reform, and do not obstruct it, a bright and magnificent future is waiting for you!
Then some details of the dynasty change process were announced. For example, how His Majesty the new King was so kind and captured the Ministry of Magic without killing anyone. People from the Ministry of Magic were even asked to come forward and speak out to prove the authenticity of the matter.
At the same time, a picture of Lancer Artoria's "physical communication" with the navy was also released. Let the wizards understand that compared to him, this new King is the real boss. If you continue to cause chaos, if you trouble her, you will not be able to survive even if you have a few lives.
This was a combination of coercion and inducement. They were originally suppressed, but because of Grindelwald's identity, the dissatisfied wizards instantly became more honest. Isn't it just that there is an extra master? There is no harm in it anyway; just having more security matters. Rather than fussing over and over again and worrying, it would be better to just lie down and forget about it. After all, life has to go on.
Moreover, Grindelwald is right. In the past, they opposed Grindelwald's reforms because if they were to conflict with the secular world, they would not necessarily win. It might be self-defeating and even cause the entire Wizarding World to say "GG". That's why it was unanimously opposed by everyone.
But now, both the secular world and the Wizarding World are in the same hands, and there is no need for conflict and war to make reforms and make a living. There is absolutely no reason to refuse!
The wizards are not ignorant of the dilemma of the Wizarding World; they also know that reform and integration is the right way to survive. It's just that it was too difficult and too risky to break the situation before, so they didn't dare to move and chosen to continue to occupy their territory and deceive themselves.
But now that the opportunity is right in front of them, why should they destroy it? Are you stupid if you don't want the benefits delivered to your door?
The wizards figured this out quickly. As a result, the situation in the Wizarding World suddenly turned around 180 degrees. A large number of wizards began to welcome the King and openly supported the rule of the new King.
Then, those people with "lofty ideals" who thought they were the sober ones suddenly became universally recognized rebels. For a time, everyone shouted and beat them, and they were like rats crossing the street. Many people were reported by anonymous enthusiastic citizens because they failed to keep confidentiality from those around them, and were arrested by Aurors who dispatched police at the speed of light.
There were even more unlucky ones who were caught directly by the enthusiastic crowd and turned over to the Ministry of Magic. Faced with such a reversal, the rebels were immediately stunned. This is completely different from what they expected!
