The Costilians of South America, Menes of Africa, and Europe and Asia formed the Supreme Council. www.biquge.info There are not only these four families participating in the meeting, but there are also many big families with slightly weaker forces, but they also belong to the dominant party.

Everyone laughed and walked into the conference hall, which is only held once in a hundred years.

Inside, it was bland and unadorned, with dark black wooden tables and chairs being the only shade. There is a round table in the center, and the silver hot pot is bubbling white, and various ingredients are placed next to it.

Phoenix looked up and saw a huge hourglass at the far end of the meeting, barely seeing the sand falling. There was a stone sundial next to it, and there was no sunlight inside, so it was supposed to be useless. But it's here.

In 240 BC, a Chinese astronomer discovered that stars have a lifespan. Seven hundred years later, at an international conference of the same specification today, several prominent astrologers and astronomers calculated the lifetime of the sun. The hourglass is a reminder of the time when the sun will be destroyed.

Of course, that's something that's going to happen a long, long time later.

Balde's portrait reminded him several times of this because it was extremely important. The trouble is that the sun's lifespan is simply eternal in the eyes of wizards, and it is easy to overlook.

"Everyone, please be seated. "Yao Hong is a little older than the last time we met.

Several patriarchs sat down casually, and the others could only gather around their own patriarchs and watch. The rule is that whoever hosts it comes according to whom's rules.

"Today I invite you to eat hot pot, hot pot is a Chinese specialty, you can't help but taste it. Yao Hong nodded and smiled, "The future and fate of the wizarding world, let's talk while eating." ”

Phoenix clapped his hands, and the plate flew up automatically, pouring the ingredients into the pot. Kostile is a personable wizard who hides himself in the white mist, his face looming.

He took a puff of his wand and spat out a large puff of white mist. The sound seemed to come from a distant place, but it was clear.

"I think everyone knows the specific report. He said, "Since it is going to be abolished, then we should discuss the appropriate repeal and how to explain it to the Muggles." ”

"There's no hurry," Phoenix skillfully scooped up the meat with chopsticks, "and we in Europe are the center of the world." He looked at the other wizards' faces and added, "For Muggles." ”

"Your opinion?" Menes said.

He's also a bit eccentric, with a turban covering his entire face. Like a faceless monster, he sat quietly in place, his hands propping his head on.

"Our research shows that Europe and the United States will be the first to discover the existence of the wizarding world. "Phoenix blew on the slices of meat standing with the sauce," Love," he beckoned, "and the full report is complete, so we might as well listen to it while we eat and draw conclusions later." ”

None of the others objected.

Love, with a thick layer of paper, walked to the open space in front of the table. Began to talk endlessly, starting with the technological progress of Muggles, which many people listened to in a daze.

During the reign of British Minister of Magic Ottalien Gamble, the British Empire became the most powerful country in the world, and expanded wildly in a few decades, controlling almost 33.67 million square kilometers of the world's territory, a quarter of the world's total land area, and the largest country in human history.

This led to the creation of the Muggle Intelligence Council, which quickly became a universal temporary body in Europe and the United States. Peverell also reshuffled the Family Department, with the R Department becoming an enlarged version of the Muggle Intelligence Council. Other regions do not have this condition, and the countries or regions to which they belong are all under the rule of European countries, and they do not see that they are worthy of the attention of wizards at all.

Delegates to the Peverell family conference already knew the contents of Love's report.

The other families were not completely ignorant of Muggles, but they were only a very low percentage. Even though the meeting was made up for the shortcomings, it was still difficult to understand, and Love's constant new vocabulary - mainly the translators were very distressed.

Love rambled on and on for a few small things, and his eloquent talk alone made the attendees a little bored.

"Finally, our conclusions. "2050 is an important point in time, no matter how hard we try, at the speed at which Muggles are spreading. They will eventually know that we exist, and no matter how they respond, we need to respond now. ”

Love glanced at Phoenix, who motioned for him to continue.

"We suggest that our presence be announced in advance. Several wizards frowned, and more interrupted him with insulting words.

"There are a lot of prestigious magical families here, but there is one that is obviously higher than the others, so let's Peverell" Phoenix took the initiative to stand up, and the scene immediately fell silent, and the atmosphere began to become strange, "Please listen to me, it's time to go back to the time of three or four hundred years ago, living in harmony." We all know how many tragedies the estrangement between our two sides has led to. Isolation is never complete. ”

"American wizards helped Muggles win the Revolutionary War. Minister Evangeline Orpington, because of her personal relationship with Queen Victoria, secretly helped the British army win the Crimea. Not to mention, during the First and Second World Wars, the entire wizarding world was in shambles. Phoenix propped his hands on the table, his eyes sharpened as he looked at the family representatives one by one.

"How many families have been separated from their wives is not all because of the secrecy law. Now, since secrecy is no longer possible, it's time to face reality. ”

"So that you can expand again. An Indian said, "Take advantage of your Muggles' technological superiority to launch a double colonization?"

Slightly surprised, Phoenix found the open witch in the crowd.

"We have no intention of doing so," Phoenix said to her in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner, "and in fact we propose that the nations of the world be restored to 1680, and that the states that emerged after 1680, should be dissolved." They have caused great distress to magical institutions in many regions. ”

Hearing Phoenix's words surprised most people. The sound of whispering filled the entire venue. Several of the most important family patriarchs were also quite surprised.

They had expected Peverell to choose a time that would be most beneficial to them, such as the 19th century. European countries are enclosing territory all over the world, and if Peverell supports a return to that point in time, cooperate with the Muggle government. The colonies were restored and attached to the governments of Europe, some of which were subordinate to the Ministries of Magic.

In doing so, the whole world is almost gone.

"Today is the first day, and we have time to discuss. Phoenix raised his glass, rather dominantly, "Cheers?"

After leaving the venue, several important members immediately surrounded Phoenix.

"You should have consulted with us. "And your proposal is not good for us, what about the German region, it is not a good idea to return to that kind of chaos again." ”

"I think—" Billlow had just started when he was interrupted by a wave from Phoenix.

"That's just talking. "The real purpose needs to be hidden." ”

"The real purpose?" Mercedes looked suspicious.

Phoenix locked himself in his room all the way, never discussing anything with anyone, where the family had core ideas. Only the middle and lower classes advocated the establishment of a monarchy kingdom belonging to the wizards themselves.

"Love," Phoenix beckoned him over, handing him a leather bag, "hurry up, our future is determined by this." ”

Everyone stared at the document bag, not knowing what it contained.

"I'll do it right away. Love nodded calmly.
