"I know you, a Muggle student who just graduated from Beauxbatons and was directly recruited by the Ministry of Magic because of your excellent grades, and they even exempted you from the assessnt, you've been in the lilight recently."
At the table next to Dumbledore and Jon, the two guests who had been eating together in peace did not know what had started the conflict, their voices gradually beca louder, and at this mont, they had already attracted the attention of most people in the tavern.
The one who said this is a well-dressed male wizard wearing a dark purple robe, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, as if the seemingly complintary words are in fact ridicule.
The target of his ridicule is a young male wizard on the opposite side of the table, whose face turned red and he also gave a cold snort.
"Isn't that how the Ministry of Magic's recruitnt policy has always been? Since they have decided that I have shown sufficient ability, of course, they will hire on a priority basis, why are you being so difficult? Because I took up your spot?"
It was as if his words had poked the purple-robed male wizard in the sore spot, and his face visibly beca unbearably ugly.
"You're just a young man who recently graduated from school, what do you think you can possibly achieve with your background even if you enter the Ministry of Magic now? It's nothing more than a lifeti of nial duties!"
"Even if it's a nial role, it's still better than so people who even though co from a distinguished background, don't even have the qualifications to enter, right?"
The young male wizard obviously caught his sore point, and simply exposed his scars; the purple-robed male wizard's ntal state was not very good, and he imdiately pulled out his wand in a rage.
"Lowly bastard! You can talk to only because it's France! Because most people are confused right now! If only our Ministry of Magic adopted the British system, you wouldn't even have the right to hold a wand, nor would you be worthy of polishing my shoes!"
His words trampled the young wizard's pride, and he also pulled out his wand in anger and confronted the purple-robed wizard!
Their companions also raised their wands together and stood up with fierce expressions, and the atmosphere beca tense.
The tavern beca completely quiet, as if these two people engaging in so kind of sensitive topic, everyone shut their mouths, and no one made a sound.
Only the tavern's waiter and barman trotted over nervously, half forcing and half pacifying tried to persuade the two groups to leave the tavern, even the al cost was waived.
After they left, the tavern gradually regained its hustle and bustle, but the atmosphere seed to be a little different from what it was before, and quite a number of wizards were whispering and vaguely discussing topics related to the bloodline.
Dumbledore's face beca sowhat heavy, he did not talk much with Jon because of the crowd here, but after finishing the al, he asked for a double room on the second floor of the tavern.
Of course, the night is not a suitable ti to travel around, so they need to stay here overnight.
When they arrived at the guest room, Dumbledore shook his head and said.
"This is not a good sign."
"The confrontation between the two n while we were eating earlier?" Jon asked.
Dumbledore nodded: "Britain is very close to France, the two countries also have the most frequent exchange between wizards, and after the Dark Lord completely ruled the British magical community, a lot of muggle-born wizards fled here at the beginning in advance sensing sothing bad going to happen."
Jon mused.
"They talked about the dark lord's governing policies here after arriving in France, so that the French purebloods, as well as the half-bloods wizards, saw the benefits? Thus intensifying the bloodline conflict here as well?"
"Not only that." Dumbledore added, "The British Muggle wizards who fled here must have also squeezed so of the resources and interests of the original French wizards, which further intensified the bloodline conflict. In addition, the French magical community is more traditional in thinking and more resistant to co into contact with muggle-related matters."
"And on the Muggle wizards' side, as the Muggles in France are more obsessed with the matter of equality, this has also led to these Muggle wizards being very disgusted with the current situation in Britain, and we have received a lot of their support. This has also made the confrontation between the bloodlines more and more intense, and there have been more clashes within the French magic community involving the bloodlines in the past two years."
Voldemort's influence seems to be spreading outward from Britain, and the first to bear the brunt is the closest France.
It has always been argued that Voldemort's grasp of the world and layout are not comparable to that of Grindelwald, after all, Grindelwald has set his sights on the future of the world's magical community from the very beginning, and his own influence has covered the whole of Europe and half of Arica, nearly more than half of world's magical governnt.
Jon has actually debated about this in his previous life.
The so-called layout is just a different direction in which they chose to acquire power in the beginning.
Grindelwald learned magic in the northernmost part of Europe, a school of magic established in the Scandinavian Peninsula, Durmstrang Institute.
Even if he was expelled later, the wizards he initially ca into contact with and the forces that he gathered were essentially from the Nordic magical community.
The magical governnt is different from the muggle countries, whether in terms of influence or in terms of regulations, they are far from being comparable, and the population base of wizards themselves is far smaller than that of muggles, so even though the magical governnt in the Nordic side has also been established by relying on the regi of the muggle countries in the past, there is an enormous gap compared to those powerful magical governnts due to the low number of wizards.
After being expelled from school, he went to a lot of places, including eting Dumbledore in Britain, stealing Gregorovitch's Elder Wand in Germany, returning to Northern Europe to organize the Acolytes Protection Agency (the official na of the Acolytes) and so on.
After travelling around Europe, Grindelwald established his foothold in countries that were isolated from major magical regis - centring on the Nurngard Castle in Austria - and began a guerrilla war against various magical governnts in Europe, even bringing the war to North Arica at one point.
Add to that the fact that he had followers under him from all over the world, and many of them were notorious dark wizards in their respective magical communities. As well as his ultimate ideals and political goals were completely detrintal to the vast majority of wizards - wizards who just wanted to live comfortably and didn't want to break the Statute of Secrecy and start a war with muggles.
And so Grindelwald's influence spread throughout the world; after that, magical governnts all over the world perceived his threat to the Statute of Secrecy.
While Voldemort, who attended Hogwarts when he was young, had already enlisted a large group of like-minded "friends" with his own thods and charisma during his school years, and then stayed in Britain for a few years after graduation, before travelling around the world as well.
During this ti he also relied on his own philosophy to attract a large group of "allies", and then returned to the United Kingdom.
But from this point on, the way of acquiring power between Voldemort and Grindelwald differed.
Grindelwald wanted to occupy a small magical regi, then grow stronger, gradually erode the more powerful magical regi to unify the entire global magical community, and finally complete his ultimate goal.
While Voldemort was directly selected to begin with the most difficult bone to chew, the British magical community, at that ti he at least split his soul five tis, so his mindset has beco sowhat arrogant and self-centred.
