Chapter 471 Dudley's Calculations and Follow-up Action Plan!
Grindelwald will see through Dudley's plan to use a whetstone, a situation Dudley had anticipated.
But Dali didn't care.
As Grindelwald analyzed, Dudley could easily control him, regardless of whether he guessed the truth or not, and no matter what decisions or actions he made.
First scenario:
If Grindelwald doesn't leave prison to cooperate, Dudley can simply have Voldemort find other powerful dark wizards to be his allies, out of respect for Dumbledore.
Even if he couldn't find someone as powerful as Grindelwald, Dudley could secretly give him a push and create a legendary dark wizard to work with Voldemort on the Sharpening Stone Plan.
As for the modified dark wizards who lack Grindelwald's reputation and influence, they can be slowly nurtured and shaped, which will also extend the development period of Project Sharpening Stone.
The second scenario:
Grindelwald decides to leave prison, but his mind is clouded by jealousy and rage. He decides to be as sincere as before, to oppose Dumbledore and the White Wizards.
Needless to say, Dudley can subtly influence Voldemort's thoughts, and he can also subtly influence Grindelwald's thoughts.
It's simply a matter of controlling one more semi-automatic puppet.
Once the Sharpening Stone Plan is completed, we'll see what Old Man Dumbledore wants and deal with Grindelwald accordingly. It doesn't matter whether Old Man Dumbledore keeps Grindelwald by his side or throws him back to Nurmengard.
The third scenario is the one that is actually happening now.
Grindelwald saw through the Sharpening Stone Plan and guessed Dudley and Dumbledore's intentions. He even decided to leave prison to cooperate in staging a grand show.
This is equivalent to the high-ranking members of the Black and White Wizarding factions joining forces to orchestrate a major reshuffle and trial for the entire magical world.
This will greatly save Dali's trading energy.
As for Grindelwald's plans to teach him a lesson later, Dudley didn't care at all. He would just slap Grindelwald to make him realize the reality of the situation.
Putting aside Grindelwald's inexplicable jealousy, Daly is quite approving of Grindelwald's current plans.
It could even be said that this was exactly what Dali wanted.
Originally, it would have been somewhat understandable if the British wizarding community, or rather Dumbledore, had sent a team of elite Aurors with powerful magical amulets to hunt them down, since only Voldemort and some Death Eaters were roaming around.
Because 'Voldemort' has been repeatedly defeated by the British wizarding community, many British wizards, both famous and unknown in the past, have driven 'Voldemort' to flee in terror.
Voldemort's reputation has been completely ruined; he's practically universally hated, and many people even dare to chase after him.
In order to gain the blessing magic of the founder of Hogwarts, white wizards from other countries did not even want Dumbledore to send a stronger pursuit team, lest they miss out on the merits of fighting against the dark wizards.
But if Grindelwald were to make a grand and public comeback, telling wizards around the world that he had joined forces with Voldemort and was plotting to once again dominate the international wizarding world...
It would be unreasonable for Dumbledore not to make any further statement.
This is quite different from the first time he faced Grindelwald.
At that time, Dumbledore was just a professor of Transfiguration at Hogwarts. Although his skills were renowned internationally, he was not obligated to go out and deal with Grindelwald as requested by the British Ministry of Magic and the international magical community.
At that time, Dumbledore was powerless to do anything. He had signed a blood pact with Grindelwald, and they could not be enemies. Even having hostile thoughts would result in the backlash of the blood pact.
Therefore, Dumbledore initially rejected the requests from the British Ministry of Magic and the international magical community, and did not directly express his intention to deal with Grindelwald.
Instead, he opted for a roundabout tactic, having his star student Newt Scamander form a team, while he devised strategies and arranged for other people to help behind the scenes.
He only appeared at the last crucial moment, and by a twist of fate, destroyed the Blood Pact with a logical flaw, thus defeating Grindelwald in the duel and laying the foundation for the international wizarding community to defeat Grindelwald.
The current Dumbledore is not only the president of the International Federation of Wizards, responsible for the safety of wizards worldwide, but also the guarantor who imprisoned Grindelwald in Nurmengard to ensure that he would not cause trouble.
In this situation, Grindelwald's escape from Nurmengard caused a great commotion, and Dumbledore had to step in and provide a strong response, otherwise he would be unworthy of his position and his reputation would be greatly damaged.
Moreover, Grindelwald's prestige and influence in the international wizarding world are far beyond what Voldemort could match.
Even Voldemort at his peak couldn't compare, let alone the Voldemort witch who has been defeated time and time again.
Once news of Grindelwald's return to the wizarding world spread throughout the international wizarding community, white wizards from various countries were not initially as eager to hunt down Voldemort as they are now.
They will definitely let Dumbledore take charge first.
At that point, it wouldn't make sense for Dumbledore to just give them the runaround; if he didn't, he would have to deliver a heavy blow to Grindelwald and Voldemort.
Before Grindelwald and Voldemort's forces were fully formed, even based on their current well-known combat strength, they would absolutely not be able to withstand the heavy blows from the current Hogwarts professors.
In that case, the Sharpening Stone Project would be completely ruined.
Because white wizards, whose strength is in the middle to lower range, do not have the opportunity to get enough training.
Therefore, Grindelwald's plan to temporarily conceal his whereabouts and have Voldemort fake his death in public, thus shifting from the light to the shadows and gaining time for development, was very reasonable.
It is not only reasonable for them to expand their own power and accumulate strength, but also reasonable for the implementation of the Sharpening Stone Plan.
This really saved Dali a lot of trouble.
Of course, you can't hide fire with paper forever.
Grindelwald and Voldemort want to expand the influence of the Sorcerer Saints and Death Eaters, and to recruit dark wizards worldwide. So no matter how carefully they restrain their subordinates, after a while, the white wizards of various countries will discover their scheme.
The reason is simple: in their own country's magical community, there are fewer bad people, so how could the good people not notice?
However, this is a good thing for the implementation of the Sharpening Stone Project.
Unaware that Grindelwald is the mastermind, white wizards from various countries, drawn by the blessing of the founder of Hogwarts, will be inspired and have the confidence to spontaneously and actively investigate the special event of dark wizards being recruited by others.
This investigation will inevitably lead to encounters with dark wizards and battles, naturally providing valuable experience for white wizards from various countries.
At the same time, it can further slow down Grindelwald and Voldemort's progress in gathering dark wizards from various countries, giving the white wizard camp, especially the British white wizards, more time to develop.
As long as the pace of the situation is controlled and progresses steadily step by step, preventing white wizards from learning of Grindelwald's emergence prematurely, there is no need to worry about international public opinion urging Dumbledore to step in and quell the conflict.
Once Grindelwald and Voldemort have fully established themselves, and the White Wizarding faction has largely completed its development, then a full-scale direct confrontation will be a battle of kings against kings, generals against generals, and soldiers against soldiers...
It allows white wizards of all strength levels below Dudley to receive ample training in war.
At this stage, Dudley will not allow the British Auror Detective Team he sent out to return.
Even though Voldemort successfully faked her death in public.
Dudley wouldn't expose the faked death plan, but he would have the Auror Hunting Team continue to hunt down the Death Eaters scattered across various countries after Voldemort's faked death, and incidentally have them spread the effects of the Hogwarts founder's blessing throughout the wizarding world, encouraging white wizards to fight against dark wizards.
At the same time, under the pretext that the Death Eaters had not been eliminated and the dark wizards had not been eradicated, the white wizards in the British magical world were allowed to continue training.
To ensure that the white wizards of all nations do not abandon their plans to improve their strength or become complacent because of Voldemort's feigned death.
Based on the current developments, Dali has devised a plan of action for the next steps.
He then created another clone to teleport and track Grindelwald, while the original clone continued to track Voldemort.
The clone magic created by Dumbledore has been optimized to its extreme by Dudley, whose magical knowledge has been greatly enhanced many times.
Now, this clone spell can create up to three magical clones instead of just one.
This is the ultimate limit that clone magic can achieve.
Without the sublimation of conceptual abilities, magic ultimately has its limits.
As for Dudley himself, he went to the Hogwarts Headmaster's office to report the latest situation to Old Man Dumbledore.
Grindelwald, that old jealous pot, still wanted to switch sides at the last minute and give Deng Xiaoping a big surprise;
Before that, I also want to teach Hogwarts' First Assistant Instructor a lesson.
Let's see if Dalit exposes your secrets beforehand!
