The Resistance Alliance (Seeking Collection)

Chapter 034

At Malfoy Manor in Wiltshire, England, Lucius Malfoy feverishly gazed at the Wizard Potion in his hand.

For ordinary people, a Wizard Potion could create a first-generation Pureblood Wizard.

But for a wizard, using a Wizard Potion in conjunction with the blood of a Magical Creature that matched their own bloodline could greatly enhance their already diluted Wizard Bloodline. Although it still wouldn't compare to a first-generation Pureblood Wizard, it could significantly boost their strength.

It could even make future generations' bloodlines closer to Pureblood and more powerful.

A single bottle of this Wizard Potion could, at the very least, ensure the prosperity of the Malfoy Family for several generations.

It was just a pity that the Wizard Potion didn't belong to him. The great City Lord needed him to use Wizard Potions to win over more Pureblood Families and use Gold Galleons to recruit more half-blood wizards to join the City Lord's banner, so they could conquer the entire British Magic World, and even the entire world's magic world.

As long as his contributions were sufficient, the City Lord would reward him with his own Wizard Potion.

Putting down the Wizard Potion, Lucius picked up the brand-new Kindling Wand.

Not only could it cast two powerful instant-cast spells, but the wand itself also doubled the amplification it provided to a wizard, and then some.

With the City Lord possessing such formidable means, and with even Dumbledore having fallen to the City Lord, who else in the entire magic world could resist him? The sooner he earned merit now, the higher he would stand in the future magic empire. Lucius thought of this and immediately began contacting the wizards he knew.

In a short period, the entire British Magic World was in turmoil.

The vast majority of wizards could not resist the allure of Wizard Potions and Gold Galleons.

The small minority who scoffed were all captured on the spot and thrown into Azkaban.

Every wizard who joined the Phoenix City faction would have a hidden Black Phoenix mark branded onto their forehead. This caused the number of wizards belonging to Phoenix City to grow like a snowball. However, at the same time, the existence of Phoenix City could no longer be hidden.

There were always some wizards who cried out for freedom and refused to be subservient.

They outwardly agreed to join Phoenix City, only to seize an opportunity and flee in the blink of an eye.

Although most of them were recaptured by wizards wielding Kindling Wands, there were always a few who slipped through the net.

Thus, the belatedly aware British Ministry of Magic finally realized the predicament they were facing.

Fudge, the Minister of the Ministry, had already made several trips to Hogwarts to seek Dumbledore's help.

However, the professors at Hogwarts also had no news of Dumbledore. They had only discovered traces of Dumbledore fighting someone deep underground. Whether Dumbledore was alive or dead was completely undetermined. Disappointed, Fudge could only watch helplessly as the number of wizards in the Ministry dwindled.

That mysterious Phoenix City Lord was a completely different entity from Voldemort.

Voldemort relied on the fear brought by killing to eliminate his opponents. The Phoenix City Lord, however, relied on Wizard Potions and Gold Galleons to buy off all the wizards he could. If buying them off failed, he resorted to threats and inducements, without widespread slaughter. Therefore, no wave of resistance against the Phoenix City Lord had arisen in the magic world.

If Dumbledore were still alive, he could have rallied a large number of wizards to resist the Phoenix City Lord with a single call.

Fudge had also considered whether he should take the lead. As the Minister of the Ministry, he was fully qualified to do so.

But he had to consider, if he failed, would the Phoenix City Lord let him go?

Fudge was already a timid and weak person, and he finally decided to wait and see.

In fact, even if he had made up his mind, it was already too late. With the coercion and bribery of Pureblood Wizards like Lucius, a large number of members in the entire Ministry of Magic had secretly pledged allegiance to Li Mu. Coupled with those wizards outside the Ministry of Magic who had surrendered to Li Mu, they could easily suppress the entire Ministry of Magic.

Unless Fudge had decided to resist from the very beginning, perhaps he could have prevented many members of the Ministry of Magic from betraying him.

From the moment he hesitated, the peaceful fall of the Ministry of Magic was already a foregone conclusion.

Hogwarts had been completely suspended for several days.

All students had returned home, leaving only the professors of the four houses to guard Hogwarts.

In the castle's Great Hall, dozens of elderly wizards were seated neatly.

These were led by the professors of the four houses, while the remaining wizards were some famous retired old wizards from various countries.

Dumbledore was killed, and it was normal for the professors to choose to avenge him.

However, these retired old wizards were not people Dumbledore had the qualifications to summon.

Some people could face death calmly when they got old, but some people became more afraid of death as they aged.

Therefore, the only thing that could gather these old wizards here was immortality.

And the only one in the Wizarding World who possessed the secret to immortality was the great mage Nicolas Flamel, the creator of the Philosopher's Stone.

Looking at the wizards present, Nicolas Flamel sighed helplessly.

He had lived for several hundred years and had long since come to terms with life and death. If his old friend Dumbledore hadn't left first, he would have prepared to end his own life in another two years. But who would have thought that Dumbledore would leave before him?

Originally, he had not intended to avenge Dumbledore at first.

But that magical Spark Energy made him yearn for life once again.

Although he had come to terms with life and death, it did not mean he truly wanted to die.

If he didn't want immortality, why would he have refined the Philosopher's Stone that could grant immortality?

His choice to come to terms with life and death and end his life was only because the Philosopher's Stone could only grant eternal life, not eternal youth. Although he had lived for hundreds of years with the help of the Philosopher's Stone, his body was continuously aging. If not for his immense Magic Power, his bodily functions would have long since decayed and paralyzed.

For him, immortality only left the pain and torment of aging.

Although he knew about the Dark Magic of changing to a new body, he could not overcome his conscience.

Therefore, he could only choose to face death calmly, until the appearance of Spark Energy completely changed his mind.

A Wizard who resisted the Phoenix City Lord had seized a Kindling Wand and sent it here, hoping he would unravel the Kindling Wand's powerful secrets.

He hadn't figured out how the Kindling Wand was made, but the mysterious energy within it, which he named Spark Energy, allowed him to discover that this energy possessed the miraculous power to revive life. If this power were integrated into the Philosopher's Stone in large quantities, the Philosopher's Stone would truly grant eternal life.

Nicolas Flamel felt a bit ashamed, but he did not regret his decision.

Even if that Phoenix City Lord was incredibly powerful, he couldn't possibly win against the encirclement and suppression by famous old Wizards from various countries.

What needed to be discussed now was simply how to find the Phoenix City Lord.

If they couldn't deal with the Phoenix City Lord directly, they would inevitably have to engage in a large-scale war with the Wizards the Phoenix City Lord had gathered. Not to mention how many casualties this would cause, if a full-scale war truly broke out, the ones who would ultimately win might not be them sitting here.
