Chapter 528: Everyone
"Yes, according to legend, vampires can't touch sunlight, can't give birth, can only suck blood for a living, and increase the number of the clan through the 'first embrace', but then comes a near-eternal lifespan, as long as you don't suffer fatal trauma, you can live forever, so, in fact, compared to making a Horcrux, Voldemort is really better than finding a vampire to 'first embrace' him.

"I mentioned Nicolame earlier, with a lifespan of more than six hundred years, but compared to vampires, I'm afraid it's only a fraction, for that race, there are probably many old guys who have seen Gryffindor and the four of them, and have seen the rise and fall of many races and countries, they naturally know the growth and strength of human beings, how can they follow Voldemort like that, for them, a little hairy child to join in the fun?"

"And, just now I said, it's a case where all wizards can work together," Darren "but, it's simply impossible. β
"Since your knowledge of the history of magic has been passed on to me, how much do you remember about the International Wizards' Secrecy Act?"
"Signed in 1692. β
"Yes, it was signed to protect wizards because of a large-scale witch hunt," Darren nodded, "That year, in Salem, Massachusetts, USA, it was claimed that the last witch hunt happened, so from this point of view, the International Wizard Secrecy Act, which separates wizards from ordinary people, works very well." β
"But, in 1692," said Darren slowly, "both the Inquisition and the secular regime of the time had lost their former enthusiasm for witch hunting. β
"In fact, the witch hunt began as early as the fifteenth century, because of the successive disasters at that time, the society was often in a state of turmoil, coupled with wars, famines, and plagues, which made the social order more and more corrupt and shook the stability of the society, and many factors led to the 'witch hunt'. β
However, because the losses in the witch hunt were so heavy that by the end of the seventeenth century the campaign was nearing its end, even in the International Wizarding Secrecy Act Ten years before the signing of the treaty, in 1682, King Louis XIV of France issued an edict: wizards can only be hunted down under the condition of physical evidence, and since then, with the continuous development of society, people have gradually become rational, although there are still people who resist witchcraft fanatically, or some distant places still believe in witchcraft, but the government no longer encourages this belief through the execution of 'witches', or people may find that this trend continues, and the cost of losing a family member in each family may be too high. β
"Well, after two hundred years of witch hunting in full swing, even ordinary people have stopped, and wizards have signed this International Wizarding Secrecy Act, saying that it is to protect wizards," Darren laughed, "and they are too slow to react." β
"On the contrary, after the passage of the International Wizarding Secrecy Act, the rate of intermarriage between wizards and Muggles has plummeted, which is easy to understand, because they are afraid that they will be found out and end up seriously violating wizarding laws, after all, it is very difficult to hide from family members. β
"But since then, there has been the concept of pure-blood wizards, but because wizards were not isolated from ordinary people for a long time at that time, even the so-called 'pure-blood' guys were not more 'pure' than others, however, over time, they could indeed continue to improve their 'purity', and the concept of 'pureblood' was more and more promoted, and there were some books that provided the signs of so-called 'pureblood', and in the thirties of the twentieth century, there was finally a "pure-blood list" published anonymously in the United Kingdom , which lists 28 pure-blood families. β
"What's even more interesting is that it was during that period that the 'Dark Lord' began to appear in the wizarding world, and they all preached the same idea," Darren looked at Penelope, "If it weren't for your history of magic, I wouldn't have noticed this." β
"Even when Voldemort last fell, do you remember Crouch?"
"Hmm. β
"Although he had many problems with Crouch Jr., the reason why he lost his imminent position as Minister of Magic was that he sent his son to Azkaban. β
"But that's really impersonal, isn't it?"
"Sympathy for a Death Eater?" Darren sneered, "I just think that there are people who don't want Crouch to be Minister of Magic." β
"Why?" Penelope asked.
"Who hates a stern judge, a harsh enforcer?" said Darren softly.
ββ¦β¦ What do you want to do?" asked Penelope after another pause.
"It's not what I want, in this case," Darren pointed to the Yin corpses, "look at them, even though it's a war between wizards, who suffers the most? The Order of the Phoenix has only killed a few in total, how many are here? You can cite it, even if we give up the wizarding world, can those guys let us go?"
"But, according to what you say, their power is too great!"
"So, it's hard and dangerous work, because the enemy is almost everyone," Darren sighed, "and that's why I don't want to tell you." β
"But I can't leave now," Penelope shook Darren's hand, "You scoundrel, I knew you were going to do such a dangerous thing, so I didn't sign a contract with you." β
ββ¦β¦ It's a pity you don't have a chance to regret it!"
Finally, all the Yin Corpses in the lake were contained, and Darren took them out of the dark and claustrophobic cavern, freeing them from their never-ending torment with flames.
"What are you going to do?" Penelope asked Darren lazily, she was surprised for a while after knowing what Darren really thought, but the other party's long-term performance made her decide to follow behind.
"Judging by the reaction of those families to the 'Emergency Committee' and the influence they can exert on the Weasleys, the power is far greater than I expected, and the idea of overthrowing those families in one fell swoop with the help of the establishment of the 'Emergency Committee' and the capture of the Death Eaters, hehe, I think it is too simple. β
"However, with the 'Emergency Management Committee' and the reactivation of the Ministry of Magic, the power structure of the wizarding world has been broken, and more new people have been added, and these people at least do not agree with the 'pure-blood theory'," Darren pillowed his arm, "which means weakening the power of the other party." β
