Chapter 716: The General Assembly destined to go down in history

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the meeting was held at the headquarters of the International Wizards Federation.

This is a spacious room, comparable to a standard basketball court, but when more than four hundred chairs are erected here, it seems a bit crowded, not to mention that there is a vacant space in the middle, covered with purple gold-edged carpets for people to give temporary speeches. A long table in front of the room was deliberately raised, which was the seat of the president of the International Wizards Federation. There are several fixed seats distributed near the chair of the president, belonging to the vice president, clerk and bearer seats. The people who sit in these bearer seats are not fixed every time. Relevant personnel are invited according to the theme of the meeting, such as Amelia Bones.

Some people followed Ms. Bones's gaze and looked at the young man diagonally above her. The man's expression was not as serious as hers, but smiling, fiddling with a peculiar hat in his hands, and the two were talking in a low voice. Felix Hepp, I don't know how many people pronounced this name in their hearts with awe. With Ajinbad's prestige, they could not match these people at all. The current situation was almost created by him.

Felix Hepp was next to Ajinbad on the other side, as if the pressure was transferred away, and he looked good. He wore a robe with many layers and exquisite structures, sitting high on the rostrum. A ripple appeared in his heart, and the position of the vice president was still hanging in the air, as if it was prepared for Felix Hepp - there was no such thing as the president who was not in charge of his affairs and the vice president took over the power in history.

In fact, this is what the previous president, Dumbledore, did, but he was the one who took the initiative to delegate power.

"You dyed your hair?" Felix asked with interest.

Ms. Borns, who was checking the information, gave him a blank look and snorted with her nose, "Hmm." "——Is your complexion much better? Have you used beauty potions?" Borns' movement froze. Felix whispered: "Look at it carefully, your hair-" "What's wrong with your hair?!" "—It seems to have grown long, wait for me to read through my memories-" After a few seconds, he opened his eyes and said with a confident look, "That's right, it's been grown long."

Ms. Bones seemed a little embarrassed, and she whispered: "Felix, today's occasion is very serious!" But she was obviously upset and kept flipping through the materials at hand.

"when?"

"What did you say--"

"Happy event!" Felix said seriously, "Last time at Bill and Furong's wedding, I saw Sirius posing in the shape of a little god of love with chicken legs. Well, maybe I've read it wrong, it's more like-"

"Ph, shut up."

...

As the current president of the International Wizards Federation, Babajid Akinbad knocked on the small wooden hammer, and the crowd gradually became quiet.

"Three centuries ago, we enacted the Secretariat Act, which worked well until the magic world was completely exposed. So I hope you have the same sense of historical responsibility to create a guiding and forward-looking law."

"I am honored to invite Ms. Amelia Bones, who participated in the negotiations with the Muggle government throughout the process and successfully reached a consensus. The specific content is written in the book "Provide the Openness of Magic", and is right at your hands... Mr. Felix Hepp, an expert who has also participated in the negotiations in depth, described to me the exquisiteness of the book. There is no sloppy sentence in the agreement. Each line of text is carefully selected and in line with the moral tone of both parties. You will find that the contents of the second and third parts will be repeatedly mentioned. He will shoulder the power to maintain order in the venue and arbitrate controversial issues in this conference."

Akinbad paused after saying that, and seeing that no one raised objections, he looked to the right, "Felix?"

Felix nodded and said briefly: "Amelia, you can start."

Ms. Bones' calm voice echoed in the empty conference room. She wore her familiar monolithic eyes, her face half hidden in the light and shadow.

"...The second part mainly records the progress and results of the negotiations between the Ministry of Magic and the government of the country, as well as some unconclusive debate segments; the last part is a plan that has been implemented or will be implemented soon, which can promote cooperation between the two parties, such as joint law enforcement, magic shops-oh, we chose to sell books and giveaways, thinking that this can better open up the situation..."

"As you see," she glanced at the whispering crowd and said, "I will do my best to provide you with relevant background information and details to everyone here." She sat down.

"Thank you, Amelia, thank you, Babajid." Felix said loudly, his eyes swept across every face.

"We will create a law that has a far-reaching effect that is comparable to the Confidentiality Act and even exceeds it in some places."

"It is not for one or two years of operation, but like the Confidentiality Act, it is measured by century. Because of this, we will not spend time discussing specific rules, nor will we discuss small matters like 'How much should a drunken wizard be fined for blowing up a trash can and whether to imprison' - that is the responsibility of the Ministry of Magic. You should discuss with the local government, follow local customs, and adapt to local conditions - what we need to determine is emotional, conceptual, and principled issues, what can be accepted and what cannot be accepted."

"They will become common norms in the future wizarding world and are the consensus in everyone's hearts. Once established, no individual or group, or any affiliated law cannot be violated."

"Okay, now everyone can speak freely, give independent opinions, or ask questions about Ms. Borns' previous speech."

Representatives from various countries began to speak for a while, as if to liven up the atmosphere, a witch with light yellow and sparse hair asked lively: "Boins, why do you use the form of selling books? Is it because you think those muggles need to add common sense?"

There were low laughs in the crowd, but more people didn't laugh.

"There are two reasons," Ms. Borns said calmly: "First, I and-" she glanced at Felix. "We think magic is mysterious in the eyes of outsiders, so in the first year or two, whatever we take out will attract great attention. Compared with potions, magical foods, and magical items with various special functions, we hope that people can understand the culture and concepts of wizards, and at the same time, to prove one thing: there is no essential difference between wizards and ordinary people except magic;"

"The second reason - it is also mentioned in the book "Providing Power to the Openness of Magic" - the magic world should integrate into the outside world in a gentle way, and try not to cause any impact on the existing systems and social systems of both parties; so the reason is obvious. It is no big deal for ordinary people to have an extra comic book that can turn pages automatically, but if there is an extra invisible cloak, there may be problems."

The question gradually became sharper, and Ms. Bones couldn't handle it alone, so Felix also participated, and he seemed familiar, as if answering questions in class - and the most important point was that no one dared to be unreasonable with him on the spot.

Some new departments have also taken shape in the discussion. For example, the International Magic Technology Cooperation Review Committee is responsible for reviewing the cooperation projects between the two parties; the International Magic Trade Association is responsible for the review and approval of cross-border trade and lists of items in one, two and three; the Emergency Investigation Team is responsible for communicating and handling difficult and potentially huge risks.

The quill pen in front of the clerk writes quickly.

A red-haired wizard mentioned the Pan Magic Alliance. "At present, branches have been established spontaneously in various places. Although the progress is different, at least they are under preparation. However, the headquarters of the Pan Magic Alliance does not even have a shadow."

"Maybe it can be placed in the lower department of the Federation?" a wizard suggested.

"Don't that mean that other races are under wizards?" The red-haired wizard expressed his objection. "We must give up some rights in exchange for their support for wizards. In the new era, the old methods will not work, and those races are our natural allies..."

"You mean to make the Pan-Magic Alliance's status above the Union?"

"I didn't say that."

"What do you mean?"

"At least it's not like you only know how to avoid the problem! The timid ball bird!" The red-haired wizard swears a swear word.

"Be careful of your saliva, you sticky ghoul!"

Seeing that the two sides were arguing fiercely and no one could convince anyone, Felix cleared his throat and the crowd calmed down.

"Write this problem first, and there may be unexpected solutions when the meeting goes deeper."

At this time, there was a commotion outside the door. People were discussing fiercely and looked at the door one after another. Then there was a sudden knock on the door. Ajinbad frowned and waved his wand. The layers of magic glory were restrained. He pushed the door open and looked panicked.

"What happened, Claude?" Ajinbad shouted at the man, "Didn't you let you guard the door and no one should be disturbed?"

Claude hesitated for a long time before saying, "Gre, Grindelwald--"

"He actually dared to come?" Ajinbad looked shocked, and the conference room seemed to press the pause button, which was terriblely quiet. Then many people jumped up from the chairs, looking shocked, and the room was suddenly in a mess.

Felix frowned, and found himself neglecting the fact that the people attending the meeting were not young, and most of them had witnessed with their own eyes how Grindelwald was dominating and disrupting the entire magic world.

Just when everyone was at a loss, a calm and loud voice hit their hearts like a drumstick—

"quiet--"

Everyone looked at Felix sitting upright on the stage. He stood up and calmly said to Claude, "Claude, finish your words."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Hepp." The man stuttered: "Grindelwald did not come, he was his subordinate-I mean," his half-bald head was covered with fine sweat. "He also sent a delegation, nearly twenty people, saying he was going to attend the meeting!"

The conference room seemed to be in full swing.

"Let them come in." Felix said with all the comments. Representatives of the Ministry of Magic of various countries looked at him, as if they had found the backbone, and then turned their eyes to the door, with an expression of expectation in their eyes. After waiting for a few seconds, they heard the messy footsteps, and then the group walked in from outside.

The leading woman was a tall woman with dark skin and gray eyes, with several yellow-brown stripes on her face, and her dark brown-red hair was combed in a regular manner, tightly slinged by a iron ring with spikes.

"Lebert?" Akinbad said in surprise at the woman.

"Ajinbad, long time no see," the woman said, seemingly relieved. The greetings of the two showed that they knew each other. She calmed herself down and spoke loudly in an empty voice, somewhat like the first time drama actor recited the lines: "Malavatel Lebert, Minister of the Egyptian Magic, have seen you all."

"There is no Ministry of Magic in Egypt." Akinbad shouted in a muffled voice.

"Now there is." said the woman with the headband, looking at Akinbad and Felix, and carefully whispered: "We are ordered to attend the Federation meeting. The man said that African wizards account for one-tenth of the entire magic world. Since it is an international conference, we must come and join in the fun."

Ajinbad said hesitantly: "That's the case..." He was a little confused, his expression changed constantly, as if he was having a complex psychological struggle, and he was stunned for a moment.

Felix waved his hand, and a row of chairs appeared out of thin air, and then he gestured to Maravatel Lebert with his eyes, "Welcome - even if it is included in the dictionary, we share the same name." Maravatel Lebert sniffed and walked towards a position. People passing by were different expressions and exchanged eyes with each other.

The person behind the woman planned to follow her, but Felix stopped her with his eyes.

"The person who came in reported his name and identity in turn." He said calmly.

Following closely behind was a man with clean skin and short stature. He stopped suddenly and introduced himself awkwardly: "Mu, Muto Tobias, Minister of Magic of Nigeria." After saying that, he looked at Felix carefully. Seeing Felix nodding slightly, he quickly followed in front of him. Everyone found that his clothes were soaked in sweat-

If Ajinbad or Heip ordered these twenty people to be locked up, they would have no way to do anything.

There were cooperation, and there were naturally some naughty people, but the guy now turned into a painting, picked up by the joint journalist and held it on the back of the chair. The man was left with only a pair of dark eyes, turning left and right in horror, and it looked quite funny.

"I'm so brave." The old wizard next to him muttered, "I won't be able to recover forever, right?" As soon as he finished speaking, the black and white eyes turned even more powerfully. The old wizard sneered twice, rolled up his legs and placed them on the chair like folding clothes.

Another older witch stretched out her finger and touched it, hurriedly retracted her hand, making a disgusting sound.

Felix looked at the first woman sitting down and asked as if nothing had happened: "Nona Lebert is yours-"

"Second Daughter." The woman was a little flattered.

"She's performance on the Goblet of Fire is impressive," Felix said.

"Oh, thank you-"

After the group sat down one by one, everyone was a little stunned. Not to mention anything else, it was surprising that more than 20 additional Ministry of Magic in Africa would be enough, but some people secretly praised that if it were put before, Africa would send more than 200 people. But the question is, is Grindelwald pushing them in front as puppets, or is it really going to implement reforms and establish a new system in Africa?

Akinbad was stunned for a while and accepted Felix's approach. He stared at him and asked, "What does Grindelwald mean?"

Maravatel Lebert shook his head, "No one knows what he thinks."

"Will he abide by the resolution made by the Federation Assembly?" Akinbad asked, and Maravatel Lebert continued to shake his head, and he sighed disappointed. Despite his long-awaited expectations, he could not help but be disappointed.

"At least he is willing to send someone over, which means he is not going to completely cut off contact with us." said a wizard. His words attracted a low echo. "Anyway, we are all wizards."

This statement worked, and the participants no longer regarded these uninvited guests as aliens, but the focus seemed to be off topic. Delegates from various countries began to ask about the situation of African wizards living in the "enemy-occupied area".

"Mr. Grindelwald... He put together the originally loose autonomous organizations and divided our powers. For example, the Ministry of Magic of Egypt was forcibly united on the basis of the original twelve regional autonomous organizations; he also brought out the Wizard Code as a basis for rule and management. I have carefully studied the above content and it has similarities with the books published by the Ministry of Magic of the United Kingdom, but its words are sharper and require orders to be prohibited on some issues..."

"Can you talk about that part?" Felix asked suddenly, "maybe it will be helpful to the topic of this conference."
