"We've met again, Mr. Hepp," Arginbad said wearily, and he reached out and shook Felix. "Can we find a place to talk? Briefly talked to Amelia before coming here. , I said to her, you've done a great job."
Felix was about to nod his head when a steady voice slanted in, "I'm sorry, can you add me?"
"Let's go together then, Horace." Arginbad said that Felix had no objection. "Horace is the chairman of the Magical Congress of the United States, and he has been in office for less than a year." He added another sentence, and Felix heard a trace of sympathy in his words.
They all caught up with an unprecedented historical crisis not long after taking office, and they all faced the most difficult situation in the crisis - the former Agimbad suddenly realized that the rules that had been in operation for hundreds of years no longer took effect, like filling Kribi. The box of Wizard Qi's biscuits fell apart as if they had fallen to the ground, and each piece had a different shape. It was as hard as heaven to put it back together;
The latter represents precisely the most thoroughly broken piece in the cookie box, which may have been stepped on and run over with force.
"Hello, Mr. Hepp," the president of the Magical Congress of the United States introduced himself, "Horace Greensteenage."
"Hello, Mr. Greensteen," Felix said with a surname that was well-known in the American wizarding world. Not surprisingly, this man was also a descendant of the Twelve Aurors. "Come with me, two of you."
He glanced past them at Amelia Burns as he turned. She was congratulating Mr. Weasley, and not far away stood two familiar, unfamiliar faces whom Felix couldn't remember for a moment—not Tonks, she was with Lupin—when As he led the way through the gaps in the golden chairs, he suddenly remembered who the two were, the Ministers of Magic of France and Bulgaria.
Behind a huge pillar, three people stood in front of the tent.
Felix stared at the two of them quietly, just as the other two did.
Needless to say, Arginbad's dark skin can't stop the deep wrinkles on his face, and he has a shaggy beard. It seems that he hasn't slept well for a while. According to Ms. Burns, he sends a special person to ask for a negotiation every day. Minutes, it is estimated that most of the time spent studying the feasibility of these strategies. In contrast, Horace Greensteen appeared prepared in a purple wizard robe with a gold trim, which was very fitting for the wedding. The chairman of the Magical Congress of the United States is about fifty or sixty years old, but his real age may be older. There are fine lines around a pair of small eyes, his eyes are rigid, and his lines are rigid, giving people a serious and old-fashioned feeling.
At just a cursory glance, Felix drew a simple outline of his character in his mind. When confronting Horace Greensteen, an image came to his mind, Barty Crouch Sr.
Felix had no doubt that even if the little Crouch thing happened, once Voldemort announced his return in a fair manner, the old Crouch would immediately become the most powerful Amelia Burns on the road to the Minister of Magic. competitor. Fudge's image of weakness is completely useless during the war years, when the populace yearns for a strong government - which is why he tries so hard to avoid admitting that Voldemort is still alive.
But the problems facing everyone right now cannot be solved with determination alone.
"I won't say the polite words, Mr. Hepp. The situation is serious, and the magic world needs your wisdom. I think you have this plan too? You are an expert in this field, and you predicted early that the exposure of the magic world was inevitable. Recently A range of practices by the British Ministry of Magic have your influence."
"I do have that idea," Felix said, looking Aginbad in the face. "I'm sure you've all seen that report."
"Accurately, it was studied more than once. At the beginning of the month it was the only professional proposal that seemed to predict the future direction of the situation." As for the second half of the month, it was naturally the United Kingdom A series of dazzling moves by the Ministry of Magic has captured the world's attention.
Everyone is eagerly waiting for a result.
Unlike Arginbad, the huge pressure and sudden responsibilities made him breathless, and he did not dare to make a decision easily. He could only generally order the Ministry of Magic of various countries to hide on the spot, and try to contact the local government to try to reach a new protocol. He himself asked his assistant to find all of Felix's previous works, and finally came to a conclusion that Felix really had real talent in this area.
"...Some of the conclusions mentioned above have been verified. We ignore the speed of Muggle progress, and it is becoming more and more difficult to hide the existence of magic. It can be seen from the past data. Compared with a hundred years ago, The world's population has tripled, and they have taken up large tracts of land, severely limiting the range of wizards' activities."
"The demographic changes don't stop there," Felix said. "The number of wizards has also increased, which makes all the problems mentioned above more acute and prominent. Of course, there are also some advantages - wizards have completely taken over The dominance of the wizarding world, looking at this result from a higher level, is a silent collaboration between wizards and non-wizards."
Horace Greensteen on the side opened his mouth slightly. He had never thought about it like that, but after thinking about it, it did make sense.
That's how the fairies fell. They did nothing wrong, but their influence was getting lower and lower.
A hundred years may be a little short, but if the time scale is relaxed to two hundred, five hundred, or one thousand years, this trend will be extremely conspicuous. He felt that it was necessary to go back and look at the past statistics to see if the number of wizards from No-Maji was increasing year by year.
Arginbad has read a lot of materials recently, and he intuitively recognized this statement with just a few memories. He concluded: "So the more Muggles develop, the more people they have; the more people there are, the more places they occupy. At the same time, the number of wizards is rising, and all this has one result: contact between the two sides is inevitable. "
"It's just a matter of sooner or later." Felix nodded.
"Excellent vision." Akinbad praised, then asked: "Are you going to replicate and promote what you did at the British Ministry of Magic? Pan-Magic Alliance, Coalition Law Enforcement, Exclusive Wands, Squib Groups, Magic Commerce, and some that are still in the works. The plan on paper; I also found from the recent negotiations that you have taken some of the enemy's ideas, made improvements, and made them less harsh... It is bold and amazing, but from my position, these countries are not isolated An individual of a certain kind of terrifying chain reaction may occur, affecting the whole body."
That's Arginbad's biggest concern - if Burns and Felix screw up, it will at worst affect one country, and if he screwed up, it will affect the entire wizarding community.
"That's not necessary, the first step is always the hardest," Felix said.
"But things are different in other parts of the world, like, for example," Agimbad glanced at Horace Greensteen, not citing America, which was the worst-case scenario, "for example—well, Africa. The problem with Africa is that Without a strong law enforcement agency, with the secrecy laws unexpectedly invalidated, the long-standing repression has caused the wizards in that land to take the opposite path, and wizard visions have become more and more frequent."
"Our problem is just the opposite," said Horace Greensteen seriously.
The living environment of wizards in Africa, America, Britain (or Europe) is worth comparing. The British Ministry of Magic basically implements the secrecy law relatively comprehensively. The Americas are more strict on this basis, and do not have any problems with the local government. Contact, which may be related to several serious leaks in history. The result is that the two sides have a strong smell of gunpowder now, and public opinion is not on their side at all, and they watch the situation deteriorate a little bit; the environment in Africa is the most relaxed of the three, and many wizards secretly have a 'side business'. , do some fortune-telling, psychic work. Felix thought of Refittin, a girl disguised as a gypsy witch.
But don't think that African wizards are happy.
As a group with outstanding individual strength and flexible and diverse methods, wizards leave only specious colored bubbles when they deliberately dive underwater, but when they surface, they will inevitably stir up the situation and set off waves. What they will face is no longer the ordinary people at the bottom who are tolerant enough of the mysterious power, but the rulers who try to control this power. The drama of winning and dividing, attacking and uniting will be staged in turn, and it will only become more chaotic.
"The authority of the International Confederation of Wizards must be re-established," Felix said.
Arginbad shook his head sadly.
"The authority of the International Confederation of Wizards was established little by little with the consensus of the hidden magic world, but now the foundation of this organization's existence has disappeared."
"Then find a new meaning." Felix repeated what he had said to Ms. Burns.
Arginbad was a little moved. The International Federation of Wizards was on the verge of collapse in his hands. He hoped to restore everything in the past more than anyone else, no matter what the cost. But he also knows that everything has changed, and he is still in this position because he and Grindelwald have made an unbreakable oath, which to a certain extent prevents the already chaotic magic world from falling into an unfathomable abyss .
"By the way," Agimbad seemed to remember something, "Africa still has a huge hidden danger."
"What is it?"
"Grindelwald!" Agimbad said in a deep voice.
Felix looked a little surprised, and quickly asked, "What's going on? He doesn't seem to be doing anything in the past two weeks, right?"
"That's the problem," Agimbad said. "I've seen how cunning he is. He's not going to sit back and wait for failure. I was worried that he would meddle in the UK peace talks, but that means standing in a big way. The opposite of most wizards, I think over and over again, since he is not in the UK, not in the US, the biggest possibility is to hide in Africa."
"...Where's the evidence?"
"He's been in the Americas only a handful of times, at least in public, compared to a staggering number of his presence in Africa. His pretext was to shelter wizards in crisis, and he did save quite a few. The sorcerer, including a group of Vaggardu students, has gained enormous local popularity - not to mention that it was in Africa where he first proposed the Ten Laws of the Wizard."
Felix blinked, and he asked tentatively, "Maybe it was because Africa was really chaotic during that time?"
Agimbad categorically vetoed.
"He's a real demon who draws strength from chaos." He looked at Felix with a heavy expression. "Some people speculate that he wants to make Africa a new source of saints."
Felix looked at the two of them blankly and muttered: "Yeah, it's so reasonable, if anyone has the hope of unifying the magical regime there in a short time, it's only Grindelwald. Plus other places It's really a good base to take care of himself - if he really intends to go back to his old business."
Horace Greensteenage interjected, "I've heard something similar, in the Muggle newspapers—" The other two glared at him, and he looked over in astonishment, "If this happens, we Of course we can't pretend to be deaf and dumb any longer."
"What did they say?" Felix asked.
He's missing something on this one. Borns sent some Aurors to collect information abroad, but the income was limited and he could only get a rough idea; Felix really relied on Vita Rozier's intelligence.
"Those No-Maj politicians think," said Horace Greensteen with disgust in his eyes, "that the exposure of the wizarding world has left wizards all over the place, and this is an excellent opportunity to make wizards obey them, and there are some more drastic rhetoric. …”
"I mean, their judgment on Grindelwald." Felix changed his words.
"Grindelwald destroyed an underground experimental factory and made such a big fight, the impact was very bad at the time. Many people were clamoring to restore the death penalty, or put him at the stake - we all know that it is very unlikely to happen. The more rigorous media accounts are similar to those analyzed by Mr. Agimbad, except that they also mentioned you."
"I?"
"Yes," said Horace Greensteen oddly, "they think you two will have a fight, and they can turn to you for help if necessary."
"I... will?" Felix himself was not sure.
"You will," Agimbad said. "If Grindelwald is going to assassinate a few politicians, and no one cares about him, the crime will be on his head anyway; but if he wants to destroy a city, we must do our best to stop him. He, he will kill the wizarding future. Especially since we are still negotiating."
Felix thought quietly. Then two wizards in bright golden clothes entered the tent in the distance, Luna and her father Xenophilius, Luna wearing a huge sunflower headdress.
"Well, maybe the current stable environment has given you the illusion - what if, I mean if, one party insists on provoking conflict?"
Babajid Agimbad and Horace Greensteen looked at each other, a problem they tried to avoid, they were here to find out that the British Ministry of Magic was about to perform a miracle, and couldn't wait to continue it. To create a miracle - this 'miracle' means that more than 200 countries in the world, no country has declared war on wizards, no country's wizards have irreconcilable armed conflicts with non-wizards ~ www.novelhall.com ~ When necessary, Some countries can be abandoned. ' said Agimbad with difficulty.
"And what about the wizards who live there?"
"Arrange for an evacuation," Agimbad said.
"What about those who don't want to move out, let them fend for themselves?"
Arginbad was speechless.
"Also, what about the new wizards?"
This is also an unsolvable problem.
...
"Arginbad's face is ugly, what did you say?" On the golden chair, Ms. Burns quietly leaned over and asked.
"Some truth."
Burns glared at Felix.
"The wedding has begun." Sirius coughed twice.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"We've met again, Mr. Hepp," Arginbad said wearily, and he reached out and shook Felix. "Can we find a place to talk? Briefly talked to Amelia before coming here. , I said to her, you've done a great job."

He felt that it was necessary to go back and look at the past statistics to see if the number of wizards from No-Maji was increasing year by year.Arginbad has read a lot of materials recently, and he intuitively recognized this statement with just a few memories. He concluded: "So the more Muggles develop, the more people they have; the more people there are, the more places they occupy. At the same time, the number of wizards is rising, and all this has one result: contact between the two sides is inevitable. ""It's just a matter of sooner or later." Felix nodded."Excellent vision." Akinbad praised, then asked: "Are you going to replicate and promote what you did at the British Ministry of Magic? Pan-Magic Alliance, Coalition Law Enforcement, Exclusive Wands, Squib Groups, Magic Commerce, and some that are still in the works. The plan on paper; I also found from the recent negotiations that you have taken some of the enemy's ideas, made improvements, and made them less harsh... It is bold and amazing, but from my position, these countries are not isolated An individual of a certain kind of terrifying chain reaction may occur, affecting the whole body."That's Arginbad's biggest concern - if Burns and Felix screw up, it will at worst affect one country, and if he screwed up, it will affect the entire wizarding community."That's not necessary, the first step is always the hardest," Felix said."But things are different in other parts of the world, like, for example," Agimbad glanced at Horace Greensteen, not citing America, which was the worst-case scenario, "for examplewell, Africa. The problem with Africa is that Without a strong law enforcement agency, with the secrecy laws unexpectedly invalidated, the long-standing repression has caused the wizards in that land to take the opposite path, and wizard visions have become more and more frequent.""Our problem is just the opposite," said Horace Greensteen seriously.The living environment of wizards in Africa, America, Britain or Europe is worth comparing. The British Ministry of Magic basically implements the secrecy law relatively comprehensively. The Americas are more strict on this basis, and do not have any problems with the local government. Contact, which may be related to several serious leaks in history. The result is that the two sides have a strong smell of gunpowder now, and public opinion is not on their side at all, and they watch the situation deteriorate a little bit; the environment in Africa is the most relaxed of the three, and many wizards secretly have a 'side business'. , do some fortune-telling, psychic work. Felix thought of Refittin, a girl disguised as a gypsy witch.But don't think that African wizards are happy.As a group with outstanding individual strength and flexible and diverse methods, wizards leave only specious colored bubbles when they deliberately dive underwater, but when they surface, they will inevitably stir up the situation and set off waves. What they will face is no longer the ordinary people at the bottom who are tolerant enough of the mysterious power, but the rulers who try to control this power. The drama of winning and dividing, attacking and uniting will be staged in turn, and it will only become more chaotic."The authority of the International Confederation of Wizards must be re-established," Felix said.Arginbad shook his head sadly."The authority of the International Confederation of Wizards was established little by little with the consensus of the hidden magic world, but now the foundation of this organization's existence has disappeared.""Then find a new meaning." Felix repeated what he had said to Ms. Burns.Arginbad was a little moved. The International Federation of Wizards was on the verge of collapse in his hands. He hoped to restore everything in the past more than anyone else, no matter what the cost. But he also knows that everything has changed, and he is still in this position because he and Grindelwald have made an unbreakable oath, which to a certain extent prevents the already chaotic magic world from falling into an unfathomable abyss ."By the way," Agimbad seemed to remember something, "Africa still has a huge hidden danger.""What is it?""Grindelwald!" Agimbad said in a deep voice.Felix looked a little surprised, and quickly asked, "What's going on? He doesn't seem to be doing anything in the past two weeks, right?""That's the problem," Agimbad said. "I've seen how cunning he is. He's not going to sit back and wait for failure. I was worried that he would meddle in the UK peace talks, but that means standing in a big way. The opposite of most wizards, I think over and over again, since he is not in the UK, not in the US, the biggest possibility is to hide in Africa.""...Where's the evidence?""He's been in the Americas only a handful of times, at least in public, compared to a staggering number of his presence in Africa. His pretext was to shelter wizards in crisis, and he did save quite a few. The sorcerer, including a group of Vaggardu students, has gained enormous local popularity - not to mention that it was in Africa where he first proposed the Ten Laws of the Wizard."Felix blinked, and he asked tentatively, "Maybe it was because Africa was really chaotic during that time?"Agimbad categorically vetoed."He's a real demon who draws strength from chaos." He looked at Felix with a heavy expression. "Some people speculate that he wants to make Africa a new source of saints."Felix looked at the two of them blankly and muttered: "Yeah, it's so reasonable, if anyone has the hope of unifying the magical regime there in a short time, it's only Grindelwald. Plus other places It's really a good base to take care of himself - if he really intends to go back to his old business."Horace Greensteenage interjected, "I've heard something similar, in the Muggle newspapers" The other two glared at him, and he looked over in astonishment, "If this happens, we Of course we can't pretend to be deaf and dumb any longer.""What did they say?" Felix asked.He's missing something on this one. Borns sent some Aurors to collect information abroad, but the income was limited and he could only get a rough idea; Felix really relied on Vita Rozier's intelligence."Those No-Maj politicians think," said Horace Greensteen with disgust in his eyes, "that the exposure of the wizarding world has left wizards all over the place, and this is an excellent opportunity to make wizards obey them, and there are some more drastic rhetoric."I mean, their judgment on Grindelwald." Felix changed his words."Grindelwald destroyed an underground experimental factory and made such a big fight, the impact was very bad at the time. Many people were clamoring to restore the death penalty, or put him at the stake - we all know that it is very unlikely to happen. The more rigorous media accounts are similar to those analyzed by Mr. Agimbad, except that they also mentioned you.""I?""Yes," said Horace Greensteen oddly, "they think you two will have a fight, and they can turn to you for help if necessary.""I... will?" Felix himself was not sure."You will," Agimbad said. "If Grindelwald is going to assassinate a few politicians, and no one cares about him, the crime will be on his head anyway; but if he wants to destroy a city, we must do our best to stop him. He, he will kill the wizarding future. Especially since we are still negotiating."Felix thought quietly. Then two wizards in bright golden clothes entered the tent in the distance, Luna and her father Xenophilius, Luna wearing a huge sunflower headdress."Well, maybe the current stable environment has given you the illusion - what if, I mean if, one party insists on provoking conflict?"Babajid Agimbad and Horace Greensteen looked at each other, a problem they tried to avoid, they were here to find out that the British Ministry of Magic was about to perform a miracle, and couldn't wait to continue it. To create a miracle - this 'miracle' means that more than 200 countries in the world, no country has declared war on wizards, no country's wizards have irreconcilable armed conflicts with non-wizards ~ www.novelhall.com ~ When necessary, Some countries can be abandoned. ' said Agimbad with difficulty."And what about the wizards who live there?""Arrange for an evacuation," Agimbad said."What about those who don't want to move out, let them fend for themselves?"Arginbad was speechless."Also, what about the new wizards?"This is also an unsolvable problem...."Arginbad's face is ugly, what did you say?" On the golden chair, Ms. Burns quietly leaned over and asked."Some truth."Burns glared at Felix."The wedding has begun." Sirius coughed twice.
