Chapter 18: Travels (3)
At the time of his surrender, Peverell signed a secret pact with the West Asian wizards, who recognized that West Asia and North Africa were Peverell's sphere of influence, but that Peverell would not help any Muggle army fight in the region.

All the dividends of the war were taken by Peverell, and the Muggles suffered heavy casualties but only received a spiritual consolation prize. They later organized several crusades on their own, all of which ended in failure.
All these domineering acts aroused strong resentment from the Church and the upper Muggle forces in Europe. Thus began the anti-witching movement, and Muggles had little choice but to fight against wizards with slogans.
Peverell didn't care about this, and intensified his plundering of wealth. Attacking the only Muggle financial industry at the time, the Order's armed forces, the various knights.
In payment of half of the Order's wealth, he encouraged the King of France to arrest all the members of the Order. As a result, Pevlier was able to make a fortune without much effort, and the King of France, along with his supporters, received nothing, and was killed in Peverell's dispute.
Seeing that the King of France and the Knights were treated like this, the rest of the regions took the initiative to sacrifice all their wealth to Peverell Nagong for their own safety.
As a direct consequence, the anti-witch movement has intensified, no longer just a slogan, but a real action. The crackdown on the so-called witches and witches began to become violent and intensified. It is not uncommon for a town to rush out of a house, drag out an old woman, humiliate and beat her all the way to extract a confession, and then carry her to a certain place (usually a market, the busiest place in the city), and hang or burn her in public.
Although it is called a witch, the vast majority of those who die are poor witches - much to the displeasure of the real witches. Indirectly contributed to the establishment of the law of secrecy.
"Indirect?" Hermione frowned, "So direct?"
The lights are still bright, but they don't provide any warmth, and the temperature is getting colder.
"The immediate reason is simple. Phoenix put his arm around Hermione, "We are too strong, we lead the Muggle army and occupy most of the land in the world. They were scared, and we couldn't hold it anymore. Too many wars have cost us so much that it has only been relieved in recent decades. β
"So, when you signed the treaty, you intended to break it. She opened her mouth and said slowly.
"So to speak, but we didn't expect that Muggles might be aware of our presence. It's not good, maybe we're at war with Muggles and other wizards at the same time. Phoenix said helplessly.
"But, butβ" Hermione tried to say something, but couldn't say anything.
"Don't talk about that, help me count the vault. Phoenix shook his head and ended the conversation.
A fairy guard, Birlo, and Phoenix pressed their palms together, and the door to the vault vanished, revealing a hole. The cave was filled from floor to ceiling with gold coins and gaffles, silver armor, the skins of various exotic animals hanging from their wings, potions in vases, all sorts of luxurious costumes and crowns, and the codex was piled up a hill high.
Phoenix and Hermione went into the vault.
He barely had time to look around when a dull metal thud came from behind him: the door reappeared, sealing them in the vault and darkness in all directions.
A huge crystal chandelier lit up at the top.
"I'll take back what I just said," Phoenix said, looking at the mess, "and we're unlikely to finish the count." β
After leaving Gringotts, eat a Swiss specialty, cheese fondue, in the town. Then head to Ankai School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which is also not far from Snowy Mountain Castle, which is nowhere near the size of Hogwarts, although the number of students is about the same. The school is only three storeys high and is tucked away in the dense jungle compared to other schools. Its biggest feature is the Magical Creatures class.
Students go out with professors to see all kinds of wild creatures for themselves, which is dangerous but very interesting. It's always fun for students to get out of school.
When the group arrived at the school, most of the students gathered on the court. The audience was full of parents, and there were many high-status family members on the podium.
The principal of the school is giving an impassioned speech.
Most of the graduates directly enter the military, and a small number of particularly outstanding members can freely choose the direction of future development.
"Hello Phoenix, ma'am. When Love saw them hurrying over, "I thought you weren't coming." β
"Aren't you going to watch the ceremony?" Phoenix shook his hand.
"That's the rule, but not many patriarchs have followed it. Love glanced at the graduating group who were marching across the lawn, "Africa is making trouble again, you better take a detour." β
"Again?" Phoenix rolled his eyes, "Is there something missing in their minds?" or is it a trade embargo?"
"Why?" asked Hermione.
"I don't know," Love shook his head, "maybeβjust my opinion, maybe they want to wait for the secrecy law to be abolished before attacking us." Every time we fight a foreign war, we use them to cut them, and they may strike first. β
Phoenix turned and watched as the students walked past the playground in a neat pace. The two leading witches were holding silver swords encrusted with gems, and when they saw him, they probably recognized him. His eyes widened slightly.
"Hell," Phoenix pouted, "I want peace, not war." Can't you be honest? β
"It can't be helped, the inferior nature of people makes it difficult for us to understand each other. Love laughed suddenly, "Maybe you should learn from the kings of Asia to unify to stop the war, or the ancestors." β
"Ancestors?" said Phoenix, with a dry laugh, "the Roman Empire unified the Mediterranean. β
"But there's more to the world than the Mediterranean. Love grinned.
"That's right. β
He knew that Love was right, but he didn't want to do it. He doesn't have much interest in changing the world, and the current situation seems to be a bit difficult for him to ride, he doesn't want to, it doesn't mean that others don't want to.
"What do you think, Hermione?" Phoenix asked suddenly.
"I also want peace, but it doesn't mean weakness. She looked Phoenix in the eye and said seriously.
"Then let's go to Baghdad," said Phoenix, "where the famous Battle of Gaugamela is, I heard it is spectacular." Thousands of troops and horses, covering the sky and the sun, stretching to the end of heaven and earth. β
Hermione opened her mouth for a moment.
"I don't really have much interest in those things. β
The graduating team left the lawn and walked silently on the marble floor and out of the school gate.
The students' shoes are specially made, and it is impossible not to make a noise if the force is carefully controlled. It is a school rule that no noise is allowed to enter and exit the school, and there are many rules at Ankay School of Witchcraft and Wizardry that are clearly set up for the purpose of rectifying the whole person, and their purpose is to train the students in the spirit of discipline, perseverance and obedience.
