Chapter XX: The True Origins of the International Secrets Act

The two were silent for a moment. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo

"It's not difficult, but your opponent is a wizard - we know that wizarding has a law that forbids wizards from Muggle fights, but will that help you? I'm afraid we won't be able to tell if a person is a wizard or a Muggle?" the Lord asked, puzzled.

"No, all I want is to make those Muggles miserable, to make those wizards angry, but nothing can be done. Phoenix scratched his chin, "If something happens, the Ministry of Magic will have to deal with it." So, you just have to get those Muggles to fight. ”

"Understood, as long as we block their medical and food assistance, the number of those will drop soon, Africa is already a place of constant war. DuPont said confidently.

Phoenix's gaze was fleeting, in surprise.

They can really get stuck in the lifeblood of a continent, and even if they can master a considerable part of it, it is extremely impressive.

"Forget about Africa, the Arabs are already like this anyway, it doesn't matter. But you'd better be in other areas and get into less trouble, because no one wants to make a mess of it on their own. Phoenix pulled out a pipe from a cabinet near the fireplace and began to puff out the clouds.

After a moment's thought, Phoenix felt the need to remind them of something. After all, he is still a minor wizard, and he has not officially inherited the family business, and it is beneficial to maintain some goodwill towards neutral or unanimous forces that are neutral or have not shown hostility to him before straightening out the family affairs.

"In modern times, wizards and Muggles have become more and more connected, most wizards have Muggle friends and relatives, and the war between you naturally affects us more and more seriously, and wizards generally do not watch Muggles in their own country being slaughtered, and this contradiction naturally rises between wizards. There are more and more conflicts between wizards in various regions, and the battles are getting bigger and more intensive. The International Secrets Act was originally an emergency act, as conflicts between wizards were on the verge of breaking out. It's like your world wars, but we avoided them. ”

Phoenix tilted his head to look at them.

"There are too many contradictions that cannot be reconciled, such as your buying and selling of black slaves, genocide in the Americas, and religious massacres in the Middle East, which make us have great conflicts with wizards in many regions. Phoenix suddenly laughed, "You guys can really get us in trouble." ”

"Thisβ€”weβ€”" Dupont opened his mouth and stammered, unable to speak.

Phoenix waved his hand and said he didn't mind: "In order to alleviate the contradictions between everyone, the law has a strong effect. None of them could meddle in Muggle affairs anymore, completely covering up the traces of magic, and for the chaotic international situation at the time, cutting through the chaos was the only possible option, and all wizards were cut off from the Muggle world. Any wizarding and wizarding fights arising from Muggle fights are governed by the International Federation of Wizards and Wizards in accordance with the law. No matter what you do, they can't do anything but strengthen the personnel and deal with the illegal wizards in a timely manner, but in this case, if you don't let the family take revenge, you will be hated. The Ministry of Magic will also be in a dilemma, as we had suffered more than fifty years ago. ”

"I say all this in the hope that you can get to know us better. There's a lot of room for cooperation between us, as long as we can get to know each other, what do you say?" said Phoenix, pointedly.

"It's great and we really want it. Dupont said happily, and the lord next to him also agreed. It's human nature that they've always been terrified of magic. People are always afraid of the unknown.

If they can marry Peverell, then their descendants are also magicians, combined with their Muggle identity, they will not only have an unshakable position in the Muggle world, but even penetrate the wizarding world further.

Phoenix shook his glass, scarlet wine swaying in the glass.

These two people think really well. However, he did not intend to refuse, and soon the law of secrecy will be decided. Whether to abolish or continue, there must be a decision. Now, almost no one wants to do the continuation, and there are more and more half-blood wizards, because their parents or brothers have a certain degree of identification with their own Muggle government. In some major cases, it was even necessary to draw and ask for the help of the magical law departments in other regions, because in the world, almost no government personnel in that region were sufficient.

In unexpected situations, the remaining personnel are often not enough to cope with the situation, especially since the speed at which Muggles are constantly delivering new messages is the biggest problem that consumes manpower. Failure to deal with it can also lead to fines from the International Confederation of Wizards, and magical institutions in various countries often solve this problem in a narrow sense, adding staff and raising salaries to create a financial burden and even responsibility.

Phoenix closed his eyes and put these thoughts aside for a moment.

Regardless of the final decision made in the future, it always doesn't hurt to get on good terms with some Muggles now. It's enough to hint at their own intentions now, and it's not too late to work on them when they're adults.

"But these are not in a hurry, I prefer to take care of some of the current affairs first. "The meeting we have in Riyadh this time is basically not much different from the last time." Did you participate last time?"

"We didn't get there to attend. The Lord replied.

"Ah, that's okay. I'll give you information later, some of the things you need to pay attention to, and you'll see your father's and grandfather's advice, and I think you'll benefit a lot. For Africa, we will first select a country to focus on and make a plan. For the rest of the country, you can make up your own mind. Phoenix shook his empty glass and didn't add any more wine.

The two stood up and saluted, and walked out the door with the tray in hand.

"Be careful, there are hundreds of tons of gold in each bag, be careful when using it, and never try to pour it out. ”

The two looked back in surprise, and Phoenix stretched and yawned. With his eyes closed, he seems to be going to sleep.

"Please, both!" said little Watson politely, but with a hint of non-questioning.

Little Watson led them back to the guest room before leaving, and although he had always been gentle and polite, both of them felt that the wizard, who resembled a butler or assistant, despised them.

The layout of the room is not much different from that of Phoenix, except for the absence of bookshelves and a variety of alcoholic beverages on the table.

"Have a drink?" DuPont picked up the whiskey on the table.

"Thank you," replied the Lord, in a reciprocating manner.

With both hands carefully opened one of the bags and reached inside. Dupont watched as the Lord's arm sank into his pocket, until the wine spilled.

"What the hell," the Lord glared at the mundane cloth pockets, "it can't be. ”

After taking the glass and drinking it dry, he looked at DuPont and asked him how he did it.

"Where did they get all this gold?"

"Conjure it up, or maybe it's a little bit of gold?" DuPont took a sip of his calmness, "It seems that this bone is going to be gnawed on anyway." ”

The two were silent for a long time, and the only sound in the room was the sound of the waves coming from the window.

"What do you think?" said the Lord, cluelessly.

"The Republic of Zaire might be a good fit, don't you have a good relationship with their leaders? Uganda massacre last year, remember? The two countries are neighbors, and maybe Uganda can be dragged in. ”

"I would advise caution on Africa's overall actions. I think Mr. Peverier is just trying to warn the other side, not wanting to make things too big. It's really hard for us to do that. ”

The Lord lit his cigar and waited for a moment before he spoke.

"yes, you have to make things chaotic without going too far. ”

DuPont lit a cigarette as well, but his mind was no longer on what they were talking about. He sensed something about Phoenix's hints. (To be continued.) )
