After Felix returned to school, he took some time to find Valen, who was having a happy walk. Because the atmosphere at the meeting was too serious before, Felix left it at the school. After not seeing him for a while, Valen's temperament became even wilder.

Felix asked in a tone of inquiries about insider information: "I heard that there was a flying sniff that wandered around the Forbidden Forest recently?"

Valen shook his head repeatedly, saying that he had no idea that this was happening. "Really?" It patted his chest and made a serious suggestion that he could ask Hagrid, who he might know.

"…There are many dangerous creatures in the Forbidden Forest." Felix warned it.

Valen waved his hand indifferently.

Felix followed its sight and saw the little bell tied to its scarf, and reached out to catch it-

"Confiscation - this is for you to protect your safety, not for adventure props." Valen could only watch Felix's fingers swaying, and the cute silver bell stretched out, turning into a silver bird.

This is a patron saint magic specially arranged by Felix. The patron saint is not the point, the point is that it contains some magic circuits of Mandela grass inside. When it is really in danger, the patron saint can completely yell at a roar of unprepared wizards. This move is also effective for creatures near the Forbidden Forest.

They walked towards the castle.

"Do you like Forbidden Forest? I know a few particularly delicious spices...Professor Sprout is hiding well."

When Felix was awakened by the tempting aroma of roasted pumpkin the next day, he stood in front of the windowsill and felt like he was a different world. The mountains in the distance were covered with silver, and the black lake at the foot of the mountain was covered with a thin layer of ice, waiting for the arrival of heavy snow.

He spent Halloween at school and took time to get to know his students again. It was strange that no one distinguished him from his memory. Felix felt that he was much more serious and serious in teaching students.

He even attended the party held by Slughorn with interest. Snape still looked like he was not a stranger, but he quietly mentioned his "small progress" in potions - Felix forced himself to ask about the specific situation, so that the other party could not show off. Emilyn Vance was not interested in the food at the banquet, but had a special liking for the classical music played at the meeting. She asked the name of the Slughorn record, and Slughorn said lightly:

"I can't buy it anywhere else, I bought the goods from the Muggle store... Yes, after special treatment, I have some connection with the Muggle government... I can give you a set..."

After Halloween, Felix realized that he was still named the vice president, so he ran to Professor McGonagall to perform his duties - and chatted with the branch hat. Unfortunately, the dirty hat was not grateful and kept shouting and listing Felix as the object of communication. Felix was a little disappointed. The relaxed days did not last long, and it was a critical period. So after a week, he returned to the Federation headquarters, like a large information transceiver, constantly receiving and sending various information. For a while, more than a dozen different forms of patron saints appeared in the lobby of the Federation headquarters at the same time.

The progress brought about by the work in recent days is very gratifying. Some countries with fast negotiations have reached the last step, and the whole Federation headquarters is excited. One morning, Akinbad, who came back from the United States, brought bad news.

"The situation is a little bad." He handed over a newspaper concisely, and Felix took it and took a look. The headlines in the newspaper read "The Aurors' unfortunate death" in bright red letters.

Putting down the newspaper, Akinbad briefly explained the incident. An accident occurred while investigating the incident of the local government secretly controlling the Little Wizard. There was no survivor.

"Is there an army involved?" Felix asked in surprise.

"It's the caster, another caster." Ajinbad said: "It happened last night. The other teams received the final signal. It was too late when they arrived. This was seen by reporters guarding Congress..."

Half an hour later, Felix appeared at the Woolworth Building, the American Magic France Club.

There were three corpses in front of him. Horace Glinstingch, president of the American Magical Society, principal of the Ifamoni Magic School, director of the magical security, Yuria, as deputy, and several senior congressional officials were present, and their faces were very ugly.

"Are there any clues at the moment?"

"There may be other wizard organizations involved," said Holles Glinstingch, gloomy: "I suspect they are descendants of the Purge. I sent a large number of people around Halloween to monitor people with suspicious past - it is theoretically feasible. During the festival, many wizards have procurement plans. I judge that someone will take this opportunity to take advantage of the situation..."

This is the plan he mentioned to Felix. But halfway through the plan, the Aurors did find an abnormality, but failed to come back alive to report the situation.

Felix was unquestionable about the speculation of "Purgeon". Purgeon played the role of a very disgraceful wizard traitor in history, similar to a mercenary who used money to do business. American wizards once talked about them and hated them to the core. After the establishment of the American Demon France Association, these people were immediately liquidated, and only a small part escaped and hid in the crowd.

They were unable to retaliate against Congress, and they were even afraid to use magic. For this reason, they even took the initiative to abandon children with magical talents. From the perspective of subsequent development, these people did not choose to cooperate with the official for a long time. As executioners who once sold their compatriots to Puritans and official extremist organizations for money, they knew too well what torture would be. This fear and hatred for the Demon French Society were passed down from generation to generation.

So the incident of twelve magical talented children some time ago was really an accident. No, maybe it wasn't an accident. Felix suddenly thought, what if the last time was a temptation by some people? A temptation of wizards and public opinion? Suppose that those children have been watched by a small group of people and will be shipped to an unmarked sea base when the time is right. They are the "fixed share" every year, but this year they are used for other purposes...

Felix carefully examined the bodies of the three victims, and for a while, he raised his head.

"I think these three Aurors have met the people we have been looking for, but those children have grown up and become our enemies."

This is almost the worst case scenario.

"Is this secret program lasting for decades... but even so, they can't fight against the properly trained Aurors, who have not even received a complete magic education." A bearded wizard at the scene - who is the head of magic security - shouted in dismay.

"I haven't received a complete 'school education'." Felix corrected: "It's true that they have difficulty accepting orthodox magic teachings, but it doesn't mean they have to explore from scratch. The simplest way... As long as they gain the trust of any wizard, they can enter and exit the magic world at will, and easily buy publicly published magic books, potion materials and second-hand magic wands in magic shops..."

"As for whether their true level is worse than that of Aurors... I can't see yet. There are many possibilities for real experience, such as these Aurors are careless, deceived, or really not as skilled as others, but one thing is certain... Their opponents are not ordinary people, but professionals who have been rigorously trained and carefully cultivated."

A blurred portrait appeared on Felix's fingertips. He leaned closer and looked at the faceless face and said softly:

"The purpose of any magic school is not to cultivate agents, assassins, or killers - we learn magic to better control magic. At the same time, it is also the subconscious mind of the wizard group that wants to grow and grow, at least to avoid declining. So wizards have moved from the earliest family education, master-apprentice education to school education, and have established communities, which have derived many occupations that I think are optional, all of which are to better allow people to intersect with others. But the opponents hidden in the dark do not consider this. They only want to squeeze out some talent as much as possible in the short term."

"You might as well try to outline the growth environment for those people. Don't consider those who die due to various accidents. They generally leave their parents before the age of eleven. They have been wandering at sea for several years since then, undergoing various experiments, brainwashing, and training... When they get a little older, they will come out to perform tasks. So what are those tasks?"

Horace Glinstingch felt a chill, his mind quickly turned, then suddenly turned his head to look at someone, and said urgently: "Yuria, immediately go to the common magic shop to ask the owners if they have received wizards who are not old. Their common characteristics are that they have purchased various magic materials in batches more than once, and—" He said with some difficulty: "Investigate those wizards who live alone and check if anyone has disappeared inexplicably in recent years?"

Yuria hurried away with a serious expression.

The people present had different expressions and did not speak for a long time. In the end, the principal of the Ifamoni Magic School spoke out and broke the silence: "Mr. Haipu, based on this situation, is it possible that the other party has developed a powerful enough spellcaster?"

Felix denied this possibility after thinking for a moment.

"The overall quality of those people is almost as high as the level of an average excellent Auror is the limit, and they are only comparable in one aspect, with no further possibility, let alone exploring the true meaning of magic... As for the evidence, judging from the wounds left, they all carry obvious black magic characteristics when casting conventional spells. This does not mean how profound their magic attainments are, but a manifestation of imbalance in magic power."

"From this, we can also draw a conclusion that no matter who the other party is, the time span of their doing so will not be too long, and it will definitely not exceed thirty years."

"Why do you say that?"

"——If the time is long, these people will suffer backlash. You must know that the magic of the wizard is directly connected to the soul and will directly feedback it to the personality..."

After a long silence.

“What to do next?”

"The negotiations will go on as usual. I have a premonition that the negotiations will not go too smoothly. A hidden force will do everything possible to prevent the contract from reaching... But someone will jump out to help us find the key figures. In addition, I also need to make a map."

...

The whole month of November was spent in a disturbing atmosphere. Although more than a dozen ministries of magic signed contracts with local governments around the world and recognized the status of the Federation and the Union Charter, many people publicly questioned the effectiveness of this law, believing that organizations like the International Wizards Federation that are above wizards and even above the will of governments in various countries are illegal and should be banned.

Especially some of the above clauses are simply unbearable for consortiums and governments in some countries.

The delegation of the Magic France Association of the United States held three rounds of negotiations with the local government, but as the negotiations deepened, some principled issues were in front of us, becoming an irreconcilable contradiction between the two sides, and the negotiations fell into a deadlock again. Some tough voices appeared publicly in the news media: An unknown congressman from a remote state proposed to fund the establishment of special schools by the government to build and take over the magic world belonging to the Americans. These remarks immediately received support from the medical consortium and the arms consortium, and expressed their willingness to donate to this great cause.

But the next day, the MP cried bitterly in front of the reporter, telling the "evil crime" he committed, and this almost immediately became evidence of the wizard's bewitching people's hearts. A series of vicious incidents were "indirectly" proved to be related to the wizard. The delegation of the Demon French Society negotiated for more than half a month, but found that the public opinion environment outside had completely changed.

The despair of the American Magic France Association delegation, the boycott of the International Wizards Federation, and the gradually spreading public opinion around the world, everything leads to a result - this is also the conclusion drawn by many government think tanks - a head-on conflict is inevitable.

Even to some extent, this is the result of everyone's common expectation - the premise that the conflict does not occur in their own country - for many people, it is incredible to take so long to make people wonder that it is the effect of magic.

A group of more than two million people hidden under the water is incompatible with the world order and has the ability to exist only in literary works and fairy tales... But so far, no conflict of a certain size and scale has broken out, as if everything was designed, which is too strange.

The shadow of war has never been far away. At first, wandering in Britain. As the situation in Britain stabilized, the eyes of various countries turned to the most chaotic Africa. However, although Africa was in chaos and skirmishes occurred frequently, they never lost control. Some people waited and waited for the release of the "Confederation and Alliance Charter", followed by dozens of drastic countries at the same time... It was a miracle to develop this point.

But some things are unavoidable, and other means only act as delay and deterrent, and only take effect on paper deductions. Only by head-on competition can the best reflect the strength of two different groups. Is it a wizard vulnerable or a modern weapon that does not work for magic at all? Only by comparing real swords and guns, those increasingly restless dark thoughts will sink back into the rotten mud, and default to the birth of a new order.

What makes the think tanks of various countries have different differences is when, where will the conflict break out, who will provoke it, and how many people will be killed or injured in the end, can it be controlled within a certain range?

The bad weather in November continued to early December. As a group of people held their breath and looked forward to it, the time came to the last month of 1997. Finally, Babajid Akinbad, president of the International Wizards Federation, and Felix Hepp, the first president of the International Pan-Magic Alliance, issued a solemn warning to all the wizards.
