Chapter 60: We still have to learn one more.
"Welcome, guests from afar, please share the dinner with us. Phoenix beckoned. The house-elves hurried to the table, and brought stools and chairs.
"It's going well. Lorraine sat down and whispered to her brother.
"It's not going well, you idiot. The elder brother's lips barely moved, and he bowed his head and cursed.
After a long time, when all the sweets were served, the patriarchs, led by Phoenix, got up and left the table. I left children and partner and attended the next prom.
"Maybe we should keep up, we should be proactive. Lorraine said when she saw that no one had come to invite them.
"If you look the same, why can't you be smarter? Buying futures is not the same as buying spot. It is not possible for us to go directly to their inner circle right now. He took a sip of red wine and looked at the people around him.
After Hermione danced with Lyanna's husband, the others soon joined in.
"What do they have to drag, back then, our two families were evenly divided, why are they so low. Lorraine said unconvinced.
Arthas didn't bother to pay attention to his idiot brother, gave a roll of the eyes, and left the table on his own. After a while, she was dancing with a blonde girl on the dance floor.
On the other end, Billo hurried to catch up with Phoenix.
"Are we really going to include the Dresses?"
"Why aren't you happy?"
"Of course, they're all crazy, and they're the kind of people who don't want to die. Billo said.
"Carl is right, they are not in their right minds. ”
The rhetoric of the crowd is not unreasonable.
The Drys are far less ancient than they themselves say, the wizarding families that began to rise in the Middle Ages with the help of educational institutions, and the decline of home education at a good time. The Dreth family is notorious in wizarding society, known for being dedicated to dark wizards, and unlike Slytherin, they are not misinformation or rumors. Before Grindelwald, their family was a crying existence in the European dark wizarding world, but unlike Grindelwald and Voldemort, they had no political ambitions, and simply liked to kill.
In terms of the number of killings, it is a great existence.
Far from it. Alsace and Lorraine's father, Gilles, was the number one. In his early years, he was a therapist at the St. Vesalius Magical Hospital, but he resigned and left for a few years due to a conflict with his mentor. Don't think about it, the Dresser family itself is not satisfied with his professional direction, so naturally they will not give any help.
With no one and no money, his own small clinic is naturally Monroe. In the midst of poverty, his normal psyche began to distort (academics, especially the medical community, generally believed that there was some kind of hereditary mental illness in their family), and in order to attract business, he developed a poison: the gospel.
This medicine is very different from traditional medicine. The potion itself is non-toxic and requires a step to evaporate the potion to produce a toxic gas that is dispersed in the air.
In 1918-1919, about one million wizards worldwide were infected, and 300,000 of them died (at that time, the world's wizard population was about 1.7 million). Muggle deaths ranged from about 20 million to 40 million, and since potions were mainly aimed at wizards, the chances of illness were much lower for Muggles than for wizards.
Needless to say, Gilles was soon arrested by the French Ministry of Magic. It's too obvious, a disease suddenly appears, and therapists all over the world are helpless, but your clinic run by a trainee therapist can be 100% cured, and a fool knows that there must be something wrong with it.
Giles was arrested and lied about his innocence. But he didn't see the situation clearly, and this indiscriminate attack caused him to become the target of public criticism, and the International Confederation of Wizards issued an emergency pardon to the French Ministry of Magic, authorizing the French Ministry of Magic to use all the magic they deemed necessary, and to obtain the recipe for the antidote.
The Dresses family praised his actions and stepped in to protect them. If the International Confederation of Wizards dared to sentence Gilles to death, they would attack the Muggle government without limit, and let the law of secrecy go by. In the end, the International Federation of Wizards had to pay a fine of 10 million Galleons and life imprisonment in order to avoid further conflict. The fine was used for the 1919-1920 campaign to eliminate the social influence of Muggles, as well as to compensate the families of the victims.
With this unprecedented feat, Giles changed his name and surname, and returned to the family to become the patriarch.
Bringing such a family as an ally is a blessing and a curse.
"Taking a step back, their family has a limited population, so how much help can they provide even if they use it?" Lyanna was only a teenager and stood out as she walked among the group.
Because of their eccentric and tyrannical behavior, Dresses has been forced to intermarry within the clan, and now the population is withering, and it is indeed difficult to compare with other famous families.
Phoenix didn't answer, he already had an idea of how useful it would be for Dress.
"Let's not talk about them. Phoenix led the group into the conference room and asked everyone to take their seats in turn, "Dresses is not the point tonight. ”
A group of house-elves quickly gathered around and poured wine for everyone. There were already quite a few people in the room, most of them were important members of various families, as well as a very special group of people, most of them lived in the Muggle world, except for a few who were born as Squibs because of their personal interests.
"I'll get straight to the point. Phoenix took a sip of juice and cleared his throat, "The situation is unprecedented. Muggles have mostly deposed kings and emperors, and it seems that none of the people we used to serve are there. At this point, I thought it would be foolish to try to restore Muggles to their wizarding employment. It's time, it's up to us to decide our future. ”
"In the past, all countries and regions were affiliated with the International Confederation of Wizards. I think everyone is already very clear about what happened to Wanbang City, the International Federation of Wizards has been wiped out, and there are almost no survivors in the entire city. The dead are gone, and those of us who are still alive still have to fight for future survival. ”
Phoenix clapped his hands, and in front of everyone, a roll of parchment appeared.
"Once again, I propose that Europe be the government of our wizards themselves. In accordance with certain principles and procedures, a strict system is formed, and each has its own division of labor, each performs its own duties, and each has its own responsibilities. It will be unlike any other magical institution in the past, neither a place for everyone to drink and chat like the Wizards' Council, nor a one-sided, incomplete public authority like the Ministry of Magic. ”
"That is, modeled after the Muggle government. Lyanna looked at the papers, didn't look up, and said, "Do we have the ability?"
"That's a question, didn't we try it once after the collapse of the Roman Empire? It didn't turn out very well, and I think we still need to learn one more. ”
"I'm more concerned about the system of our government. Ed Will Smith stared at Phoenix with blazing eyes.
