A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 718 The Conference Destined to be Recorded in History

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

This is a spacious room, comparable to a standard-sized basketball court, but when more than [-] chairs are erected here, it seems a bit crowded, not to mention there is an open space in the middle, which is covered with purple and gold-edged chairs. Carpet, for people to make impromptu speeches.In the front of the room, a long table was deliberately elevated. It was the seat of the president of the International Federation of Wizards. There were several fixed seats near the chair, which belonged to the vice-president, clerk and unregistered seats. The people who sit in the private seats are not fixed every time, and relevant people are invited according to the theme of the meeting, such as Amelia Bones this time.

Some people followed Ms. Burns' line of sight to look at the young man diagonally above her. The man's expression was not as serious as hers, but he was smiling, and he was fiddling with a strange hat in his hand. The two were talking in low voices.Felix Haip, I don't know how many people read this name in their hearts with awe. With Akinbad's prestige, there are no such people. The current situation is almost created by him.

Felix Hepp's other side is next to Akinbad, and it seems that the pressure has been shifted away, and he looks good.Wearing a robe with many layers and exquisite structure, he sat high on the rostrum.There was a rippling in the hearts of the representatives attending the meeting. The position of the vice president was still vacant, and it seemed that it was reserved for Felix Haip. the behavior of.

In fact, the previous president, Dumbledore, did just that, but he was the one who took the initiative to delegate power.

"Did you dye your hair?" Felix asked with interest.

Ms. Burns, who was checking the information, gave him a blank look, and snorted, "Yeah." "--the complexion is much better, have you used beauty potions?" Burns froze.Felix said in a low voice: "Look carefully, your hair—" "What's wrong with your hair?!" He said with firm eyes, "That's right, it's just too long."

Ms. Burns, who seemed slightly embarrassed, whispered, "Felix, today is a serious occasion!" But she was visibly distraught, flipping through the material at hand.

"When?"

"What are you talking about—"

"Happy event!" Felix said solemnly, "last time at Bill and Fleur's wedding, I saw Sirius use chicken legs in the shape of a little Cupid, well, maybe I was wrong, then More like—”

"Bah, shut up."

……

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

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

"I am very honored to have invited Ms. Amelia Bones. She participated in the entire negotiation with the Muggle government and successfully reached a consensus. In your hands... Mr. Felix Hepp, an expert who was also deeply involved in the negotiation, described to me the subtleties of this book. Hasty sentences are not allowed in the agreement, and each line of text is carefully selected Yes, in line with the moral tone of both parties, you will find that the content of the second and third parts will be mentioned repeatedly. He will shoulder the power of maintaining order and arbitrating disputed issues in this conference.”

Aginbad paused after finishing speaking, seeing that no one raised any objections, he looked to the right, "Felix?"

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

Ms. Burns's composed voice echoed in the empty conference room.She wore the familiar monocle 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 host country's government, as well as some inconclusive debate fragments; the last part is the plan that has been implemented or will be implemented to promote cooperation between the two parties, such as joint law enforcement, Magic shop - oh, we chose the way of selling books with gifts, thinking that this would better open up the situation..."

"As you can see," she said, scanning the chattering crowd, "I'm going to do my best to support you with relevant background information and details." She sat down.

"Thank you, Amelia, thank you, Babajid," said Felix loudly, looking over every face.

"We're going to have a far-reaching law that's as powerful as the Secrecy Act, and in some places even bigger."

"It's not meant to run for a year or two, but like the Secrecy Act, it's measured in centuries. Because of this, we don't spend time negotiating the fine print, let alone discussing things like 'a drunk wizard blows up How much should be fined for trash bins, and whether you should be imprisoned'—that is the responsibility of the Ministry of Magic itself, you should discuss it with the local government, follow local customs, and adapt measures to local conditions—what we need to determine is emotional, conceptual What is acceptable and what is not acceptable.”

"They will become the prevailing norms of the wizarding world in the future, and they are the consensus in everyone's hearts. Once established, no individual, group, or any subsidiary law can violate them."

"Okay, now everyone is free to speak, to put forward independent opinions, and to ask questions about Ms. Burns' previous speech."

After being quiet for a while, the representatives of various countries began to speak, as if to enliven the atmosphere, a witch with light yellow thin hair asked lively: "Bones, why did you choose to sell books because you think those Muggles are in urgent need of replenishment?" Common sense?"

There was low laughter from the crowd, but more people didn't laugh.

"There are two reasons," Ms. Burns said calmly: "First, me and—" She glanced at Felix, "we believe that magic is mysterious in the eyes of outsiders, so when we first contacted In one to two years, no matter what we come up with, it will attract a lot of attention. Compared with potions, magic food and magic items with various special functions, we hope that people can understand the culture and concepts of wizards, and at the same time It is also to prove one thing: apart from magic, there is no essential difference between wizards and ordinary people;”

"The second reason - which is also mentioned in the book "Providing Facilitation for the Opening of Magic" - the magic world should integrate into the outside world in a gentle way, and try not to cause impact on the existing systems and social systems of both parties; so the reason is very Obviously, it’s not a big deal for ordinary people to have a comic book that turns pages automatically, but if they have an invisibility cloak, it’s likely to go wrong.”

The questions gradually became sharper, and Ms. Burns couldn't handle it alone, so Felix joined in. He seemed to be very familiar with it, as if answering questions in class—and most importantly, no one was there. Dare to be unreasonable with him.

Some new departments are also taking shape under discussion.For example, the International Magic Technology Cooperation Review Committee-responsible for reviewing the cooperation projects between the two parties; the International Magic Trade Association-responsible for the review and approval of cross-border trade and the list of items of the first, second and third categories; the urgent problem investigation team-responsible for communication and handling difficult issues emergencies with potentially huge risks.

The quill in front of the clerk is writing vigorously.

A red-haired wizard mentioned the Pan-Magic League. "At present, branches have been spontaneously established in various places. Although the progress is different, at least they are all 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.

"Doesn't that still mean that other races are under wizards?" The red-haired wizard objected, "We must transfer some rights in exchange for their support for wizards. In the new era, the old methods will not work. Those races are our natural allies..."

"You mean to let the status of the Pan-Magical Alliance override the Federation?"

"I didn't say that."

"Then what do you mean?"

"At least it's not like you who only know how to avoid problems! Cowardly ball and bird!" The red-haired wizard sprayed a curse word.

"Watch out for the drool, you slimy ghoul!"

Seeing that the two sides were arguing fiercely and no one could persuade the other, Felix cleared his throat and the crowd fell silent.

"Write down this question first, and there may be unexpected solutions when the meeting deepens."

At this moment, there was commotion outside the door.The people who were having a heated discussion stopped and looked towards the door one after another.Immediately after, there was a hasty knock on the door. Aginbad frowned, waved his wand, and the layers of magical brilliance converged. A man pushed the door in with a flustered expression.

"What happened, Claude?" Akinbad yelled at the man, "Didn't you be asked to guard the door, and no one is allowed to disturb you?"

Claude hesitated for a long time before saying: "Ge, Grindelwald——"

"He dared to come?" Aginbad looked shocked, and the conference room seemed to have pressed the pause button, and it was eerily quiet.Then many people jumped up from their chairs, looking shocked, and the room suddenly became a mess.

Felix frowned, and he found himself ignoring a fact: the people attending the meeting were not young, and most of them had witnessed how Grindelwald was so powerful and disrupted 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, who was sitting upright on the stage. He stood up and said to Claude calmly, "Claude, finish your sentence."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Hype." The man stammered, "Grindelwald didn't come, it was his men—I mean," his half-bald head was dripping with sweat, "he also sent I gathered a delegation of nearly 20 people and said they want to attend the meeting!"

It was as if a pot had exploded in the conference room.

"Let them in." Felix said, suppressing all the arguments.Representatives of the Ministry of Magic of various countries looked at him one after another, as if they had found the backbone, and then turned their gazes to the door, with expectant expressions in their eyes.After waiting for a few seconds, they heard messy footsteps, and then a group of people walked in from outside.

The leader was a tall woman with dark skin and gray eyes, with several tawny streaks smeared on her face. The hoop was tight.

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

"Akinbad, long time no see." The woman said, seemingly relieved.The greetings of the two indicated that they knew each other.She collected herself and spoke aloud in a hollow voice, a bit like a theater actor reciting her lines for the first time: "Marawatl Raibert, Minister of Magic of Egypt, has met you all."

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

"Now we have it," said the woman with the headband. She looked at Aginbad and Felix and carefully picked out her words: "We were ordered by... to attend the Federation meeting. The man said that African wizards occupy the entire One-tenth of the population of the magic world, since it is an international conference, must come to join in the fun."

Akinbad said hesitantly: "In this case..." He was a little undecided, his expression kept changing, and he seemed to be engaged in a complicated psychological struggle, and he froze in place for a while.

Felix waved his hand, and a row of chairs appeared out of nowhere, and then he gestured to Marawatter Raibert with his eyes, "Welcome—even if it is included in the dictionary, we share the same name." Marawater Raibert Burt sniffed and walked towards a location. People passing by had different expressions and exchanged glances.

The people behind the woman tried to follow suit, but Felix stopped him with his eyes.

"People who come in report their names and identities one by one." He said calmly.

He was followed by a man with clean skin and a short, fat body. He stopped abruptly and introduced himself with some embarrassment: "Mu, Muto Tobias, the Minister of Magic of Nigeria." Glancing at Felix, seeing Felix nodding his head slightly, he quickly followed the front, and everyone found that his clothes were soaked with sweat——

If Akinbad or Haipu ordered these twenty or so people to be locked up, there was nothing they could do.

There are those who cooperate, and of course there are stunned youths, but now that guy has turned into a painting, which was picked up by the clerk of the Federation and hung on the back of the chair, leaving only a pair of black lacquered The eyes turned left and right in horror, and it seemed to be quite happy.

"How courageous." The old wizard next to him muttered, "I won't be able to recover forever, right?" As soon as the words fell, those black and white eyes rolled even more violently.The old wizard sneered twice, rolled up his legs and put them on the chair like folding clothes.

Another elderly witch stretched out her finger and touched it, then quickly withdrew her hand, making a sound of disgust.

Felix looked at the first woman who sat down, and asked as if nothing happened: "Nona Leibert is your—"

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

"Her performance at the Goblet of Fire was impressive," Felix said.

"Oh, thanks--"

After the group of people sat down one by one, everyone was a little dazed. Among other things, it is surprising that there are more than 200 more Ministry of Magic in Africa, but some people secretly applauded. More than [-] people can be sent from Africa for the meeting.But the question is, is Grindelwald pushing them ahead as puppets, or is he really planning to implement reforms and establish a new system in Africa?

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

Marawatter Raibert shook her head, "Nobody knows what he's thinking."

"Will he abide by the resolution made by the General Assembly of the Federation?" Akinbad asked, and Marawatter Raibert shook his head, and he sighed in disappointment.Even though he had expected it, he couldn't help but be disappointed.

"At least he's willing to send someone over, which means he doesn't intend to completely cut off contact with us," said a wizard.His words drew a muffled echo. "We're all wizards anyway."

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

"Mr. Grindelwald... He kneaded the original loose self-government organizations and divided us powers. For example, the Egyptian Ministry of Magic was forcibly united on the basis of the original twelve regional self-government organizations; he also moved out I wrote the Wizarding Code as the basis for ruling and management. I have carefully studied the above content, and it is similar to the book published by the British Ministry of Magic, but the words are sharper, and some issues are required to be banned..."

"Can you talk about that part?" Felix asked abruptly, "Maybe it will be helpful to the theme of this meeting."

"Oh, er, yes," Marawatter Raibert said.
