A Day as a Foodie at Hogwarts

Chapter 69 Global Mage School Exchange Competition

For all organizations, the most important factor in maintaining organizational cohesion is that they need to have a core leader and a philosophy to strive for.

Having a core leader can lead the members of the organization to move forward with one heart.There is a concept that we strive for. After the first leader of the organization leaves, as long as the remaining people can implement this concept, a new core leader will emerge.

The most positive examples are the Saints and the Death Eaters.

Of course, it goes without saying that Grindelwald never used the Imperius Curse or harsh punishment mechanisms to control his members.Instead, talk to them about ideals, reality, and facts.Finally, use truth to impress others and make them willing to work for the organization.

But Death Eaters are completely negative examples.The core leader is a two-hole socket who doesn't know what he wants to do and just wants to take revenge on society.

After he disappeared, the Death Eaters immediately disappeared and hid their traces. No one would continue to fight for the inexplicable idea of ​​a two-hole socket.

Of course, good organizations and organizations with ideals also have a small flaw.That is, if there is a deviation in the interpretation of the concept within this organization, it is very likely that there will be a usurpation of power, just like now.

Grindelwald's eyes were unkind, even though he had been resting on the Nurmengard Tower for decades.Some of the hot-tempered aspects of his character remain unchanged.

His eyes were so sharp that people dared not look directly at him.

"How did Francis Picabia, the leader of the New Saints, come to power?"

Facing Grindelwald's inquiry, David thought for a while and then talked about Francis's experience and the process of his rise to power.

Francis was born in a small village in Wyoming, USA. It was a very superstitious village.The villagers believe in some kind of cult.

The newborn Francis showed his differences, and his burst of magic caused panic in the villagers.The villagers once wanted to burn him on a cross.

But the night before Francis was burned to death, Francis' mother put the baby Francis in a wooden basin and let it float down the river.

Francis' parents were Muggles and had no magic powers.

After being secretly released by his mother, Francis was very lucky to be picked up by a monk who was out.The monks sent him to a church orphanage.Until he turned 11 years old, the principal of Ilvermorny School in the United States came to pick him up and made him a member of the new students at Ilvermorny.

So far, Frances' life has many similarities to Tom Voldemort.But unlike Voldemort, Francis's character is not so eccentric and withdrawn.

In the orphanage, Francis was the most popular child.He secretly used magic to help some friends. In the relatively more open United States, Francis was not regarded as a monster, and even many children thought he was super cool.

Because American children grew up reading various superhero comics, they all dreamed that one day they would have the same special abilities as the heroes in superhero comics.For example, you can spin silk with Spider-Man as soon as you wake up.

Therefore, the children in the orphanage did not discriminate against him, but instead admired and supported him.At a young age, Francis was already the king of children.When he was picked up by the magic school, the children in the orphanage were still reluctant to let him go.

At Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Francis' academic performance was also outstanding.He was elected as a prefect in the fourth grade, and became the student council president in the fifth grade.

It was at this time that Francis came into contact with the LDS Church and the ideas of the LDS Church.He was immediately attracted to the idea of ​​the LDS Church and sought to join the LDS Church.

He was fascinated by the idea that the world should be ruled by the strong for the greater good.

After graduation, he joined the American branch of the LDS Church.and soon became president of the branch.Under his leadership, the North American branch of the Saints Church developed rapidly.

And he also proposed a more radical concept, but more beneficial to North American wizards.

"If we want to change the world between wizards and Muggles, then we must better integrate into the Muggle world. Wizards must gain a firm foothold in the Muggle world. The world is developing rapidly, and we cannot stand still!"

Francis is a pure Muggle-born wizard, and there are many wizards like him in the United States.In the United States, they do not have the constraints of pure-blood families in Europe. American wizards have only been developing for about 200 years, and there are not so many stubborn families.

Francis first led the wizards who followed him to develop industries in the Muggle world, although many products of the Muggle world were not needed by the wizarding world.

But in the past 50 years, Muggles have expanded faster and faster, and they have begun to enter many areas that were once inaccessible to Muggles.

The dangerous jungles, mountain cliffs, and deep sea caves that were once accessible only to wizards are now visited by Muggles.

This caused serious damage to the habitats of many potions and magical creatures.In the 30 years after World War II, the production of potions and magical creatures in the wizarding world has been declining.This seriously endangers the survival of wizards.

But the wizarding group led by Francis operates as a consortium in the Muggle world.He purchased large amounts of land, minerals and various resources.He left a large private domain in the Amazon rainforest that no other Muggles were allowed to enter.In this territory, various magic potions are planted and various magical creatures are cultivated.

"Now, the New Saints controlled by Francis controls one-third of the world's potion production, half of the world's dragon products production, and three-quarters of the world's wand wood production. He also controls the Muggle world. Six multinational groups operate to inject blood into the wizarding industry."

What David said made Grindelwald slowly calm down.

"It can be said that everything Francis did was to calm the conflicts between wizards and Muggles. And he brought benefits to the vast majority of wizards. Even the United States Ministry of Magic turned a blind eye to what he did. Close your eyes. Otherwise, if you make trouble for him and arrest him for violating confidentiality laws, it will most likely cause the global price of potions to skyrocket."

"And because of what he did, when the New Saints movement led by him started in North America, we didn't do much resistance here." David said this with some restraint.

"After all...after all you are imprisoned here. And we are also old. We cannot organize the younger generation of wizards to find their way of life and development concepts. We always have to make way for young people."

The old saints present all nodded.The Saints have never classified themselves as a terrorist organization, but as an innovative party that conflicts with traditional ideas.

Naturally, they will not deal with the so-called newly rising mountaintops according to the so-called underworld standards.

Looking at the expressionless Grindelwald, David continued: "And Francis admires you very much."

"Huh?" Grindelwald's eyes moved.

"Many books about you have been published in the United States. He is rectifying the name of the Saints. He is praising your great achievements. He has found many authors to write about the Saints and your greatness, and has published ten books. There are several copies and the sales are very good.”

Grindelwald said calmly: "What does the book say about me?"

"Oh...haha." David laughed, and the saints around him also laughed, as if they had thought of something embarrassing.

He said with a smile: "Although it is a bit disgusting, the books he asked people to write are really good at praising us old guys. We are embarrassed to say many things. And you, there is no doubt that He is the most perfect one. Gellert Grindelwald is simply perfect!"

Grindelwald stood up: "I understand.

…………………………………”

In the Roman Manor in Beverly Hills in the United States, Francis, the president of the New Saints Church, was listening to the report of his subordinates.

"Boss, Grindelwald is summoning the old saints. Maybe he will make some moves. Do we want him?" The subordinate gestured and crossed his neck with his thumb.

Francis, who was dressed like a billionaire entrepreneur, smiled lightly: "No need, they are all a bunch of old men. Do they still have any ability over the years? Now the focus of the Saints is in North America. No. I need to take care of those dying old men in Europe. And if I do it, being found out will have an impact on my reputation. I want to run for the United States Minister of Magic."

"Europe is too conservative. What traditions are still followed now? It's really ridiculous. What do you think I am doing by letting people advocate Grindelwald and those old men? Put them on the altar, and they will not have access to mortal rights. Just let them stand high and become a group of mascots. My purpose of monitoring Nurmengard is to see if Grindelwald will come out on his own. As long as he doesn't come out on his own, then everything doesn't matter."

"In addition." Francis turned to look at his assistant and sneered: "I heard that Dumbledore's children were attacked on the way to school?"

"That...that's what the radicals do..." the assistant explained with a look of fear.

But before he could finish his explanation, the ring on Francis' finger emitted a red light that focused on the tall assistant.He flew backwards for more than ten meters, causing the entire hall to become a mess.The huge noise alerted other people in the house, and several wizards came over.

Francis said calmly: "Don't give me extraneous things. Our great interests have just begun." He said to the wizards who had just apparated over: "By the way, go and monitor Grindelwald again. Look at that old man Are ghosts trying to cause bad things?"

..............................

In the tower of Nurmengard, Grindelwald's mind was spinning rapidly.I have been in the tower for decades and have been separated from the world for too long.Seeing that the old and brave old guys in the past are now taking anti-hypertensive drugs, even if Grindelwald refuses to accept his old age and feels that he can still fight Dumbledore for [-] rounds with a wand, time has still changed a lot of things .

Maybe……

Grindelwald made up his mind.

He suddenly said: "How many years has it been since the Triwizard Tournament was held?"

"Well, it's been decades," David said.

"What do you think about holding it again? Of course it should be on a larger scale." Grindelwald said with a smile: "You guys haven't lost any status in the wizarding world after so many years, right?"

Faced with what the old leader said, a group of old saints expressed that they still had great status.For example, he resigned from the position of director, or he has a good relationship with the Minister of Magic of a certain country, etc.

However, some people still have doubts: "Why hold the Triwizard Tournament?"

Grindelwald smiled: "To add some trouble to my old friend, and I also feel that European wizards haven't gone out to communicate for a long time. This time, let's promote an international level exchange competition. Don't start the Triwizard Tournament. Now, let’s have a competition between all the magic schools in the world. Let European wizards see the progress of global magic! Isn’t this the last thing we old bones can do for the new wizards? While we’re at it, Since we are still alive now, we still have some say."

Grindelwald's words made the old saints present excited. Sure enough, a leader is a leader. Even if he is locked up in this tower, he still cares about the development of the new generation of wizards!People like myself will risk their lives to make the leader's final thoughts come true!

Grindelwald said in his heart: Lao Deng and my children, I can only go so far now. As for where you can go, it depends on you.

You are a dragon or a worm. Whether you can follow Dumbledore and I's great path depends on your own level!
