Chapter 712 "Providing Help for the Openness of Magic"
On that day, Felix made a declaration of victory with Grindelwald's face. This statement will occupy all the areas of Africa in the next two weeks, and even spread to the non-magical world due to the unique chaos in Africa.
Felix returned to the Federation headquarters and Akinbad told him something excited.
If nothing unexpected happens, the important International Wizards Federation will be held in early October. Ms. Borns will serve as a representative to systematically describe the achievements and significance of a series of initiatives over the past two months, as well as the results of their negotiations with the Muggle government.
Naturally, the purpose of the conference is to discuss a law with the significance of the Confidentiality Act, identify various principles and allow the Ministry of Magic of various countries to use it as a basis to negotiate with local governments. It may take several weeks, but the benefits are obvious.
The wizard will reunite into a whole.
What made Ajinbad most confident is that, as one of the only two great wizards in the magic world who are still active on the world stage, Felix Happ will ensure that the law is implemented.
In the afternoon, Felix went to the Busbaton Magic School again and met with Mrs. Maxim as the school director. They had actually met not long ago, at the wedding of Bill and Fleur, but Mrs. Maxim insisted on inviting him to Busbaton.
"It's not that there's something wrong with the scholarship, right?" Felix asked. He hadn't counted Nick Lemay's property in the vault, but it was estimated that it would last for another one or two hundred years...
"The goblins of Gringott transfer a sum of money to the school vault every year," said Mrs. Maxim with a bad look, "they will send you the relevant information."
"I may have ignored it," Felix said quietly. "There are so many people who write to me every year. So that's not the reason?"
"Of course not."
"What's that?"
"Felix, you are the head of the Boothbaton School, but you missed three meetings of the heads." Mrs. Maxim said in a low voice, her chest began to rise and fall.
"I haven't forgotten this identity." Felix immediately said seriously: "I asked you before that Nick didn't care about anything, so I, like him, did not intend to interfere in the specific affairs of the school."
"That's two different things, Felix." Maxim protested. "Lemay lived for hundreds of years first. His concept of time is different from ours, and we will not disturb him easily... But you are only in your twenties. How do you want me to tell the students that a school director has gone unaware of such a big deal?"
...
"So I stayed at Boothbaton School, sang around, and gave some students a magic guide, and finally had a meal with the students in the restaurant, but the effect was surprisingly good. The only embarrassing thing was that they called me 'Mr. Epp', but that was the case." In the evening in the new vice-principal's office, Felix told Ms. Bones: "I could probably guess Mrs. Maxim's idea: to play the mascot and calm people's hearts. Maybe if there is any problem, I'll be planning to ask me to come and help."
"She is a responsible principal," Ms. Bones said. "Maybe it seems to you to be a little bit of a big deal, but it is very important for her to maintain your relationship. Otherwise, why would so many Ministry of Magic send people to the Federation for your sake?"
Felix hesitated for a moment, of course he knew the reason, but he joked: "I thought my excellent eloquence played a role."
Ms. Bones's mouth raised slightly, as if she was amused by this statement.
"Yes, Grindelwald occupies one-third of the African magic world, and it may be for this reason." After joking, she said seriously, "Felix, now the Muggle government proposes to cooperate to complete an official information, in addition to letting the public know the phased results of our negotiations, there is something else I hope you will participate. This will be the first information recognized and recognized by both parties, which is of great significance, and you have rich experience in this regard."
Felix almost forgot that he also had a title of writer. Although it was not very popular, it was definitely a professional match.
He thought for a while and asked, "What is the progress at present?"
"The speed has been greatly accelerated than before, but there are still too many details waiting to be confirmed." Ms. Borns said, "But we are not only facing a relatively stable domestic environment. Although there are opponents, it does not affect the overall situation. However, we cannot get involved in international public opinion. In addition, various miscellaneous organizations, there are countless factors that can affect peace talks. The tacit understanding we reached during this period is to take out something that both parties are satisfied with as soon as possible to avoid accidents..."
"As for other issues, we will first record them in the memorandum and leave them for later improvement. Just like the confidentiality law was not what we see now..."
She briefly introduced the recent negotiation progress and then sent out an invitation again. Felix agreed.
night.
Felix read the information left by Ms. Bones at his desk. Many important issues were discussed in advance, but some were progressing and some were still objecting, and he needed to keep up with the progress.
The office light was still on, and the golden clock on the table pointed to twelve o'clock. Felix looked up and found Valen dozing on his small table. He smiled slightly and wrapped it in a velvet quilt.
In late September, a book with a thickness of more than 200 pages was published and sold. The media and publishing houses of the two societies were fully launched, making the book stand on the heads of countless people as soon as it was published and was studied repeatedly. Some of the contents were summarized in streamlined words by the newspaper, which attracted heated discussions, and each page could set off a wave of public opinion.
But in fact, it is not so much a negotiation treaty as a political white paper related to wizards authoritatively released by the authorities at least many journalists have compared it with government reports in private. It represents the respective positions of both parties, mainly on the statement of facts and current negotiation results, as well as the measures and expectations for the future.
Some of the above important words may be used as the basis for both parties to act in the future and extend into laws on related issues.
"The book "Providing Power to the Openness of Magic" is divided into three parts. The first part is divided into three chapters, which explain the importance of cooperation between the two parties, briefly describe the history of wizards and the intersection of the two parties in history." Hermione said in one breath, and her fingers passed through the directory, flipped to a page and read it for a while, then raised her head and said in a complicated expression: "The person in charge of the negotiation must have spent a lot of effort and racked her brains for this."
"But it's boring," Ron said, "I feel like I'm reading the textbook of The History of Magic."
"This is its characteristic, right? Try not to have personal emotions." Hermione said: "But in fact, the real views are cleverly hidden, no, they are shown to you directly."
Harry looked at her. He might not have understood this sentence if it was two months ago, but he had a new feeling recently.
"Wait" He took the book from Hermione, turned to the third chapter and quickly browsed the subtitles between the chapters, raised his head and said thoughtfully, "I probably understand what you mean. Every word on it appears on it is the result of the delegation's struggle."
Hermione nodded.
"What are you talking about?" Ron asked impatiently.
"Look at this," Harry pointed to a page and said, "1917 was during World War I." Hermione interjected. "Uh, that's right," Harry continued, "a witch named Noah Lida protects the town where she lives. Oh, her identity is a bit special. She was originally an Englishman, but later married to France..."
"Bill and Fleur?" Ron found a similar example in his mind, "but the relationship is the opposite."
Hermione warned him not to interrupt. Harry continued: "And this, when the Ministry of Magic defeated the wizards of the hostile countries, including taking over a large army of fire dragons. Hey, this mentioned Mr. Scarmand, and he made great contributions." His tone was a little excited.
Ron gradually came back to the point, "It sounds like we have made a lot of effort? But isn't the wizard not participating in the war between Muggles?"
"That's right, but the Ministry of Magic also has the responsibility to protect ordinary people in the area from the threat of magic." Hermione said, "Especially when some wizards and Muggles combine, they tend to protect their neighbors. This kind of thing is more common in times of large-scale social unrest. The Ministry of Magic has a lot of information, uh, I mean the illegal file."
Ron rolled his eyes.
"You mean, some wizards spontaneously protect their neighbors during war, but end up being punished after being discovered for using magic?"
Hermione's expression was also a little awkward. At least in this matter, the Ministry of Magic did not play any positive role.
"But if something really happens, you will usually be fined a little. You will basically not be sentenced, and you will not be sent to Azkaban."
"Okay." Ron muttered.
"But in general," Hermione raised her tone slightly. "The images of the wizards shown here are basically positive... and some steal and tease Muggles, but you will find that these people have been punished by the Ministry of Magic, which is already very telling."
"More than that," she continued: "I think the most important part of the first part is to fully explain two views, and their role is crucial. The first view is naturally to affirm the role of the wizard. This mentioned several magic disasters, and wizards have always eliminated these dangers in the dark. I wonder if you have discovered that all the 'wizards' have a word in front of it?"
Harry looked down.
"British Wizard?British?"
"Yes, the fact that British wizards are discussed here are the fact that many pure-blooded wizards have no nationality at all. Put the entire issue at the internal level of the country for discussion, and don't worry about external voices."
"But the Pan-Magic Alliance?" Harry murmured.
"They are different, Harry, different." Hermione patiently explained: "Although they are essentially reducing the wizards' more restrained, they face completely different objects. The former word "British Wizard" basically excludes the courage of other countries, at least with excuses to refuse to bring wizard affairs internationally and argue; the latter is the Pan-magic Alliance to win the wizard's autonomy to the greatest extent internally."
"It sounds so complicated." Ron was already dizzy at this moment.
"These are very serious political issues," Hermione said seriously: "Even a small concept will bring a chain reaction to the future, so the Ministry of Magic has been ruling for a while and formulating various details in one go. Think about it, wizards don't even have a profession like lawyers..."
"Hermione," said Harry, "I know you're right, but one thing you may have overlooked is the wizard's own strength. Do you know what I just thought of?" He did not wait for Hermione to answer, but said the answer on his own, "It's Grindelwald, far away in Africa."
"Two months ago, in early August, the situation in Africa we saw in the newspapers was not only chaotic but also chaotic. At that time, the International Federation of Wizards had not yet regained its prestige with the help of Professor Hayp. All this changed with the emergence of a person."
"Harry." Hermione said nervously.
"At that time, many people predicted that in two weeks, the wizards would participate in the regional dispute as an uncontrolled force. Now two months have passed, and the situation there has not become more chaotic, but has completely stabilized. At the most dangerous time, Grindelwald defeated three hundred wizards in one night, with one person! No one even died because of this. I don't know if it was a limitation of the oath... Sometimes I have an illusion that Professor Heip seemed to have reached a tacit understanding with Grindelwald, tacitly understood and did not interfere with each other..."
"There are newspapers that they are planning an unprecedented duel, just like the legendary duel half a century ago," Hermione's voice trembled slightly. "If the two strongest people in the world were not intimidating each other, each of them could have a terrifying destructive effect on the other camp."
Ron also said: "All the wizards are looking forward from the bottom of their hearts, but now is not the time."
"There are more than those who are looking forward to it." Hermione screamed.
Yes, it is not just wizards who are expecting it. Governments of all countries have noticed this problem and are extremely afraid and curious about wizards with the title of "Great Mage". Gellert Grindelwald and Felix Hepp, the former, seemed to be an ambitious man, and was once a failed ambitious man, but after he appeared in the wizard tavern in the Egyptian capital, the threat level continued to rise.
As for the latter... he seems to be good at a magic called ancient magic text and has also been to the moon. Although his specific combat talents are hidden in the fog, his survivability is at least beyond reach.
This kind of confrontation and analytical strength is entirely instinct. Almost every regime will do similar things, but it does not mean that they intend to go to war with wizards, especially with their own wizards.
What they really can't stand is the guys walking around with nuclear bombs in their arms... If they have the chance, the fewer such people, the better.
In the process, they also discovered something strange.
The gap in strength between wizards seems to be ridiculously large. Even though those wizards generally master abilities that make them feel extremely difficult, such as phantom shifting, traveling on flames, creating hard-to-extinguish fierce fires, and folding spaces, these seemingly powerful wizards pale in front of the "Great Mage".
They can only blame the magic and treacherous magic. Modern weapons are basically based on physics and extend many branches, and everything seems to be traceable. Unfortunately, it is still difficult to analyze the principles of magic based on current scientific theories. Just look at the scientists who are about to pull themselves out.
