"What? Over two hundred people? How is that possible?" Director Andre's eyes widened like saucers, as if they were about to pop out of his sockets.
"There is nothing impossible about it. All this information is what I saw with my own eyes. I can even provide you with video footage. Maybe you'll even find soone you know in it," Alan said with a smile, looking at the astonished director.
"But that's too exaggerated. It's just a breeding park. At most, a few dozen wizards would be enough to run it completely. Is it necessary to have so many people inside?" Director Andre saw the young man's serious expression and knew that this matter was most likely true, but he still couldn't help but ask.
*It's good that you find it exaggerated. I also found it very exaggerated when I saw it,* Alan muttered silently, mulling over what reason he should use to mislead Director Andre. If he were to say directly that most of these people were civilian wizards, Director Andre might beco hesitant due to the large number of legitimate wizards and not dare to proceed with his plan. Moreover, if they really fought their way in, it would easily put the director in a passive position. Therefore, to get the other party to help with all his might, Alan had to find a cri for these guys in the park and drag Director Andre into the ss first.
"That's not strange at all!" After a mont of thought, Alan said with a serious expression, "I found that these wizards in the park have highly organized characteristics. I suspect that in addition to breeding magical creatures, the Silver Spears is also training a wizard army inside!"
*Of course, this is just a suspicion!* Alan added in his heart.
After thinking it over, he realized that this excuse was the most suitable, and what he said was not entirely made up. There were indeed traces of training in No. 1 Park, though most of it was similar to vocational skill training, with the subjects basically dealing with magical creatures. But since they had a training ground and a group of well-trained wizards, then he wouldn't bla them for being impolite. To solve the legitimacy problem of those wizards in the park, Alan had thought of several handling plans. However, Alan miscalculated one point, and that was underestimating the weight of the term "wizard army" in the minds of people like Director Andre.
"A wizard army? You an they are already training an army like Grindelwald did back then?" Director Andre's face imdiately beca solemn upon hearing this. If this situation were truly confird, then what the Silver Spears was involved in would not be a simple criminal case or political issue, but sothing concerning the fate of the entire wizarding world.
He knew all too well how much of a stir Grindelwald's revolution caused back then, and the most troubleso part of it was his army of disciples. At that ti, even if the Aurors from several countries' Ministries of Magic united, these well-trained wizard armies could directly confront them, and their combat awareness was even stronger than many Aurors, because they firmly believed that what they were doing was correct, righteous, and a faith worth dedicating their lives to. This is also why, after so many years, so many wizards are still so wary of the disciples and Grindelwald, even to the extent that the rlin Order paid close attention after learning that there were remnants of the disciples reorganizing and developing in Germany.
Director Andre was now considering whether to directly seek assistance from the International Confederation of Wizards, because if the other party was truly training a wizard army, then his Departnt of Magical Law Enforcent alone would certainly not be able to solve it.
"If this is true, then the matter is serious. We must report to the International Confederation of Wizards and the rlin Order imdiately, and then organize an international joint force to nip them in the bud!" Director Andre's gaze toward Alan suddenly beca sharp and piercing.
"Uh, actually, it's not that serious yet." Alan was startled by the man's words and realized that he seed to have overdone it a bit, so he quickly advised, "I already have a complete plan to deal with this base. We can capture them all with the lowest loss. It's better to make a judgnt on their specific situation after we take down this base."
"Are you telling the truth?" Director Andre looked at Alan with so surprise. A wizard gathering area with over two hundred people, even if nearly half of them weren't wizards, wouldn't be that easy to deal with. This kid was incredibly confident.
"Indeed." Alan nodded affirmingly. "The specific action plan is already in place. Now there's only so intelligence work left to do. Blindly attacking and alerting them would only increase casualties. Moreover, I've also learned that the Silver Spears has more than just this one base in Germany. I'm still investigating this area. What we need to do now is keep a low profile and let them continue their original lives. Just give about a week to prepare, and I guarantee we can successfully take it down!"
After listening to Alan's explanation, Director Andre also knew that he had been a bit hasty. And although the Alan in front of him looked young, he was highly skilled, managing to gather so much intelligence in just a few days. This also significantly strengthened Director Andre's trust in him.
"Alright, then I'll listen to you. I'll hold my forces. Do you need to cooperate with anything else?" Director Andre nodded affirmingly.
"I need you to select ten to twenty absolutely trustworthy Aurors in the next few days and have them on standby. Of course, all you need to do now is identify them; there's no need to leak any information to them. Once I determine the timing, I will notify you, and then you will need to cooperate with the personnel I recruit from Britain." Upon learning Director Andre's stance, the first thing Alan thought of was to mobilize personnel from him, which would greatly increase the chances of success in the subsequent operation.
"A joint confidential operation?" Director Andre pondered for a mont after hearing this, then solemnly agreed, "No problem, I will transfer so trusted subordinates under the pretext of border patrols."
"Hmm, this operation, in addition to capturing all the wizards affiliated with the Silver Spears, also involves a large number of captive magical creatures that will need your help. It's best if you select so Aurors with relevant experience. At the sa ti, if we can ascertain the locations of other breeding parks from those wizards, we might need to engage in combat. I hope you can be ntally prepared for that." Alan gave the other party a heads-up.
"Haha, don't worry, my Aurors are all battle-hardened experts. Whether it's against wizards or magical creatures, you can rest assured." Director Andre waved his hand imperiously, as if the hundreds of wizards were nothing to him.
"As long as you're aware." Alan didn't care if the man was boasting. After a slight nod, he pulled out a silver square amulet about half the size of a mobile phone from his person. "Keep this well. I will contact you through this item. When I contact you, the amulet will send you a signal, and at the sa ti, my ssage will be left on the mirror. There will be a ti and place for assembly."
"Oh? This is a good item. I've also heard of your Silver Lightning Trading Company. Is this one of its products? How co I've never seen it?" Director Andre happily accepted the amulet, even joking a little.
"This is just a prototype. It hasn't been released yet. The materials required for this thing are not cheap, so don't lose it," Alan replied with a smile.
In fact, after Alan deciphered the runes on the mask and obtained Sphinx's blueprints, he was able to create many communication tools similar to mobile phones. For example, what he gave Director Andre was just a low-end version that could send text ssages, while the kind he and Hog used before, which could directly make calls over short to dium distances, had actually already been produced. But he still couldn't productize this optimized communication magic product. The biggest problem was the cost. Even Sphinx's relatively mature magic-conducting glue technology only had a cost slightly lower than goblin silver. Limited by this, he currently couldn't mass-produce it. It should be known that in the wizarding world, one cannot simply buy those precious materials with money, and among the materials needed to synthesize magic-conducting glue, there is goblin silver, which cannot be arbitrarily purchased. Although he is also looking for substitutes, a technological upgrade cannot be achieved in a short ti.
And when Director Andre heard Alan's instructions, he just laughed heartily, "Don't worry, if this operation can be successfully completed and the Silver Spears is dealt a good blow, you will be well rewarded. Feel free to ask for money or materials then!"
Seeing Director Andre act so magnanimously, Alan couldn't help but smile knowingly. He didn't care about the man's little rewards; what he was aiming for was the Silver Spears' accumulated wealth over these decades. After reaching a consensus with Director Andre, Alan no longer procrastinated. After repeatedly instructing the other party not to leak the news, he left the Ministry of Magic.
Upon returning to his residence, Hog also brought him good news.
"Sir, Clent has made a move! That fireplace in his black market is indeed a passage to the breeding base!" Hog exclaid excitedly when he saw Alan.
"Oh? Did he return directly to the park through the fireplace? What password did he use?" Alan had always been preparing for two things: on one hand, finding a way to directly break the shield, and on the other hand, trying to follow Clent's lead to find another direct path into the park.
Hog shook his head upon hearing this. "That fireplace doesn't completely enter the park. The specific situation is quite complex. You should see for yourself. After I discovered his unusual behavior, I used recording equipnt to record it." With that, Hog pointed to a large, bulky device nearby. This was a semi-finished product Alan had developed earlier, similar in function to a Muggle VCR, but capable of recording magical images clearly.
