"Does that mean you'll be out soon?" Li Wade asked cheerfully.
"I... won't be out for now," the senior said with a wry smile.
"Why?"
"Before the 'residue' in my body is completely transformed, even if I go out, I'll still be tempted by the side effects and reabsorb it... So, even if I alleviate the abnormality in my body, I'll still have to wait until it's completely transformed before I can release the seal and go out on my own."
"That's true... But don't worry, at least we've seen the light at the end of the tunnel, haven't we?
One day, you'll be able to stand in the sunlight again."
"That depends on you, Wade... The higher your level of ancient magic, the more 'residue' you can absorb... If you can't absorb too much, I still won't be able to come out."
Li Wade nodded helplessly.
In this world, it seems only he and the senior possess ancient magic talent.
Only those with ancient magic talent can absorb large amounts of "residue"; ordinary people cannot.
"Then... is there any way to create another alchemical container, like a regulator, to store these excess 'residues'?
That way, perhaps I wouldn't need to slowly wait for my ancient magic level to improve. Even if I reach my absorption limit, I can store it in that container first."
"Hmm... that is indeed a method... but to hold so much, the volume might be very large... hmm, that would be troublesome... never mind, don't rush this, we'll talk about it after you reach your absorption limit."
"Okay."
Li Wade was in a very good mood. Absorbing harmless "residues" could enhance his own strength!
After his duel with Grindelwald, he deeply understood how vast the gap was between himself and such top-tier wizards.
Even though he was essentially an adult and possessed the abilities of an ordinary adult wizard..the difference between the abilities of an ordinary adult wizard and a wizard like Grindelwald was still terrifyingly large!
Not to mention Grindelwald, just consider Tom...
if Li Wade's current magic level didn't break through its limits and improve, sooner or later, he would be surpassed by Tom.
Currently, Li Weide can easily defeat Tom, which is essentially a max-level character crushing a newbie.
Once Tom reaches the level cap, Li Weide won't be able to suppress him anymore.
Therefore, Li Weide urgently needs to break through his "level limit"!
And now, absorbing "residue" is a very good way to break through this limit.
This way, he won't have to worry about Tom posing a threat to him when he grows up.
The senior asked, "Do you remember where we first met?"
Li Wade nodded.
"Okay, then tonight, go to the same place you were last time, and then... I'll come find you."
Grindelwald has been very busy lately.
Besides dealing with those who question him, he also gives regular lectures.
However, unlike before, now he publicizes the content of each lecture afterward, letting more people see it.
Originally, he publicized it through newspapers, but later, after being targeted by the Ministries of Magic of various countries and forbidden from publishing his lectures,
Grindelwald had to find another way...
After each lecture, people ride flying broomsticks and scatter Grindelwald's promotional materials like leaflets in many wizarding settlements.
The Ministries of Magic of various countries' prohibition on newspapers publishing this content is actually just a private communication with the newspaper staff, not an explicit ban...
In fact, now not many people dare to issue a direct ban on him.
Now, Grindelwald is more feared by the Ministries of Magic of various countries than before.
Therefore, they simply distributed leaflets, and the various Ministries of Magic had no reason to arrest those distributing them…
Over time, the Ministries of Magic could only turn a blind eye.
After all, Grindelwald had already cleared his name and hadn't done anything wrong, so why should they be the first to oppose him?
Later, Grindelwald simply established his own newspaper and published it in wizarding circles around the world, spreading his ideas and thoughts.
This made it even harder for the Ministries of Magic to stop him.
They couldn't just shut down his newspaper; that would be tantamount to openly breaking ties.
Due to Grindelwald's current special status and the weakness of the Minister of Welfare,
Grindelwald even had his own office at the British Ministry of Magic.
At this time, Abernathy, who was serving as Grindelwald's secretary, entered the office.
During Vita's temporary stay in Nurmengard, Abernathy temporarily took over her duties.
"Sir, the people are eager to know when your next speech will be held."
Grindelwald, engrossed in writing, replied without looking up, "There won't be any more speeches for the time being… The propaganda surrounding our ideas has reached a temporary saturation point; any more wouldn't have a greater impact. It's time to do something practical."
"Something practical?"
"Yes…something practical!" Grindelwald looked up and smiled. "It's time we put some pressure on the Minister for Magic."
He handed Abernathy a piece of pahment he had just finished writing.
"I will then present these suggestions to the Minister for Welfare…and at the same time, publish them in our newspapers! Make sure everyone sees them!
That way, even if the Minister for Welfare disagrees with my suggestions, the people will know what we've done.
However…I suspect the Minister for Welfare will agree."
Abernathy nodded. "Okay!
But... won't Dumbledore object?"
"In what capacity would he object? He's just a school professor, what right does he have to interfere with the Ministry of Magic's decisions?"
Grindelwald suddenly laughed. "Of course, if he's willing to take up authority... hehe, I'd love to see him join the Ministry!"
The Minister of Welfare looked at the parchment before him, his brow furrowed.
He sensed the thorniness of the matter...because Grindelwald, as a senior advisor, had made a suggestion.
He suggested changing the Ministry of Magic's recruitment criteria...for example, the standard for recruiting Aurors originally required a NEWT exam score of at least five O's to even be eligible for the assessment.
But now, Grindelwald suggested removing this restriction and having a dedicated team set the exam; as long as one passed, they could become an Auror!
Grindelwald's reasons were very compelling.
He said that indeed, if one wasn't good enough, joining the Auror and encountering danger would be tantamount to suicide.
However, people constantly improve! Graduating from school doesn't mean one can't learn and improve further.
So, if it's just because of poor grades in school... Then they lose the path to further advancement, which is extremely unfair!
Grindelwald believes that after graduation, students should have an opportunity to improve if they have the necessary abilities, even if their previous academic performance was poor!
As long as they pass the assessment for the corresponding position, it proves that they have sufficient ability to perform the job, without needing to dwell on their past grades in school!
Moreover, the original admission standards are also very unfair to some old-school wizarding families who are unwilling to attend Hogwarts and prefer home education.
This suggestion seems like a good policy that benefits the people, giving everyone a chance to change their destiny.
However… the Minister of Welfare sees the crisis in it!
Because once the Ministry of Magic changes its recruitment policy, then the recruited personnel will not necessarily be Hogwarts graduates!
In that case, Grindelwald can easily place his own people in the Ministry of Magic!
The Minister of Welfare has no doubt that Grindelwald lacks outstanding talent among his subordinates!
Therefore, the Minister of Welfare is caught in a dilemma.
If he agrees to the reform, then the British Ministry of Magic will become the second magical government to be infiltrated after the Magical Congress of the United States.
But if he disagrees… the public will be unhappy.
After all, there are so many people who want to change their fate and improve themselves…
Originally, the Minister of Welfare had intended to conceal this suggestion for the time being.
However, after seeing the *Global Observer*, the newspaper founded by Grindelwald, the Minister of Welfare knew he couldn't hide it anymore.
The newspaper had already published the suggestion, and its content was exactly the same as what was recorded on the parchment he possessed…
Considering the time he received the parchment and the time the newspaper was published,the public probably knew about this news even before he, the Minister of Magic, did!
After much deliberation, the Minister of Welfare decided to delay.
He had someone tell Grindelwald that he needed to discuss it thoroughly with his subordinates before making a decision.
Fortunately, Grindelwald didn't rush him but expressed his understanding.
Then, the Minister of Welfare directly wrote a letter to Dumbledore…
At this time, he needed more advice!
Safe House.
Tom was engrossed in reading the *Global Observer*.
"I say, you don't really want to become a sorcerer, do you?" Livid suddenly joked.
"Hard to say... Grindelwald is good at making grand promises, I'm almost convinced." Tom glanced up at Livid.
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but Tom felt that Livid's demeanor had changed in the last few days.
It was like... a change in aura due to more concentrated magic...but he didn't dare ask...
Tom's intuition wasn't wrong; Livid had already begun absorbing the "residue" his senior had converted.
The "residue" was indeed significantly improving his strength!
Before, Livid's magical power was far inferior to Snape's, merely at the level of an ordinary adult wizard.
If it weren't for his flashy skills, he wouldn't have been able to last even three seconds against Grindelwald...
But now, his magical power had increased dramatically, at least equivalent to one and a half Snape's level!
And Snape's level was incredibly high!
Tom looked away and handed him the newspaper.
"Take a look at this. Grindelwald has made a suggestion to the Ministry of Magic... It seems to be very beneficial to the people... Hmm, everything seems to be going as you predicted..." "
Really?
Is this guy finally going to do something good?"
Livid happily took the newspaper.
"Hmm... What a bountiful day!"
As long as Grindelwald starts doing good deeds, regardless of his true intentions, Livid, as the instigator, will definitely receive a massive amount of merit points! How could he not be happy?
