Chapter 1184: Lady Ravenclaw and I worked together to make the Philosopher's Stone
The wizard who was wearing a red vest over his white linen shirt and a wide-brimmed black yarmulme hat also stood up, and he took off his hat, "Commissioner Alan Harris, I am Alfred O'Shet, Minister of Magic of Switzerland, and on behalf of Switzerland, I am seriously protesting against Hogwarts' forcible occupation of the Black Forest area from Freiburg to the border between Germany and Switzerland, which is a serious violation of the interests of our country and Germany, and is illegal and invalid!"
A few smaller countries, whose neutral zone was now occupied by the British, rose up and protested.
"Ladies and gentlemen, is there any specific violation or blame for the British Ministry of Magic's plans to develop these areas that you can't normally manage?" Allen's voice suddenly raised over the noisy council, and he narrowed his eyes slightly and continued, "If there is, please point it out, otherwise, can I take this as a provocation to our legitimate sovereignty?"
The scene suddenly fell silent, and the wizards who had just been accused the most were helpless to make eye contact with each other, and they didn't want to be the first birds at this time, even Alfred O'Shea turned red, and wanted to continue to refute but even the inequality of the two forces, Britain is too domineering now- Britain seized the empty space to occupy those nominally ownerless places, although the legal theory makes sense, but a little reasoning is clear, not to mention the borders, many of these places are even surrounded by some countries, and Britain has no copper nat relationship.
Heinrich clenched his fists in anger, suppressed his anger at the occupation of some part of his country's periphery, and turned his attention to the direction that was more important to Germany.
"Representative Harris, the development and ownership of those areas are not mentioned for the time being, but now Hogwarts Floating City, the demagogic leaflets distributed everywhere in the German wizarding community, this is an act of plundering our population!" Heinrich paused, and gave up saying that there was also incitement by British forces behind the protest before the investigation, because he knew that he would be countered by the other party if he had no evidence to show it, "We, the German wizarding community, demand that Hogwarts immediately stop this incitement, and stop censoring our wizard immigration. ”
This struck a chord with some of the delegates in the audience, who were not only planning to take advantage of untapped resources in neutral areas to deal with the embargo, but also to plunder the already small wizarding population, which many similar countries had been feeling threatened and panicked in recent times.
"This is the free will of ordinary wizards in your wizarding world, we are not plundering the population of any country, but helping these miserable wizard refugees under the jurisdiction of the incompetent Ministry of Magic, who do not have enough property security and job opportunities in their own country, and even basic life support has become a problem now..." Hogwarts only provides humanitarian aid to these refugees, and Hogwarts has never forced that wizard to immigrate to the Floating City, nor has it forced any wizard not to leave Hogwarts, this is the wizards' own freedom, their own right to choose, if you do well enough, we will not have any objections and obstacles to attract English wizards to your country, the population is gone..."Alan said contemptuously, "It only proves that the local Ministry of Magic is not good enough..."
The wizard representatives in the audience were speechless for a while, and in addition to their new understanding of Britain's shamelessness, they also deeply felt that weak countries have no diplomacy, and the era when everything could be negotiated with people has passed.
"Representative Harris, although you have not theoretically violated the rules... But it's made a lot of noise, and even many wizards in my country have plans to go, but I want to ask... How is Hogwarts going to house so many wizards in Europe in such a short period of time... As we all know, your country's economy was sluggish some time ago, and many businesses were closed and wizards were unemployed... Even if the umbrella has money, except for funding, unless you are willing to keep them all the time... Otherwise, you'll have to provide jobs for the immigrants, which means you need to develop new industries...."Bulgaria's Minister of Magic, Obaronsk, shook his big black round hat in his hand and questioned from another angle, "Although theoretically I shouldn't be interested in your internal affairs, it is also a matter for the rest of the wizarding community in Europe, so don't end up with the financial problem and send these wizards back... It will be time for us to pay for your mistakes. ”
"Hmph, what is there to be proud of Harris, their own country is not peaceful, but those magazines in your own country have said that your current policy will affect the job opportunities of the wizards in the United Kingdom..." Are you trying to use the umbrella that our country's wizards have given you as cheap labour, and then to make a monopoly on the businesses of the old families in your country that have paid for Britain for so many years..."
"We dare to make such a promise, naturally because we have the confidence to fulfill it. In the questioning gaze, the corners of Allen's mouth curled, "I have also heard of the statement that Harris has been targeted in recent years to monopolize the umbrella and use his authority in the Ministry of Magic for personal gain, and the reason why he didn't respond before was just some ridiculous malicious slander, but now the American representative seems to have listened to the unscrupulous media reports that have been slapped in the face after reporting various rumors for a long time..."Alan said and began to dig into his pocket, grabbed something, clenched it in his fist, and raised his hand," So today, while the representatives of various countries are here, I would like to take this opportunity to respond. ”
Then, Alan let go of his fist, and an irregular blood-red crystal stone with streamers slicing across the surface appeared in his palm.
This made the delegates present stunned in place, and some elderly wizards hurriedly took out their glasses to try to see what it was that made Eren so confident, but many wizards were confused by Alan's actions at this time.
Obalonsk, Bulgaria, was stunned: "What is that, is it precious? What are you doing with such a thing?"
"I'm not sure, it seems to be legendary..."Ababakinder suddenly gasped, as an Indian, he was obsessed with all kinds of gems, but he was really not sure about the one in front of him, "Didn't you say that it had been destroyed?"
"Monoeil! that's the Philosopher's Stone?!!! French Minister of Magic Darti was more familiar with the greatest alchemist born in France, Nicol Lemay, unlike the representatives of other countries, she recognized this thing at a glance, forgot to maintain a dignified image, and stepped over from her seat a few places unladylike and began to identify the stone, "Is it the Philosopher's Stone, or is it another ?!!Harris, can you make the Philosopher's Stone?"
"To be precise, it was Ms. Rowena Ravenclaw and I who made this Philosopher's Stone together. Alan casually tossed the Philosopher's Stone in his hand, "It's no more difficult than the Energy Core and the Floating City, but the conditions are a little harsh... It's also worth mentioning that I completed it when I was in my first grade... But for the sake of security... You know what I mean, Harris was a small family at the time..."
Heinrich and Obaronsk's noses are very tacitly connected.
Heinrich thought that his every move was like being played by Harris, and this sense of grievance, which was increasingly powerless to fight back, made him want to leave the place desperately, and Obalonsk's was full of jealousy and resentment, and only felt that he had been mocked so badly that it felt like a fist had been hit on cotton, and he did not know how to deal with the anger of his wife who had just lost his family and appease the people of his country to discourage them from emigrating.
The eyes of the American representatives are gloomy, and they have recently practiced closely with some pure-blood families in the United Kingdom, allowing these pure-blood families to criticize Harris for making a lot of money and even monopolizing the industry for profiteering through various occasions and the media under their control... Now the plan to use this to fight Harris must have failed, the other party has the Philosopher's Stone, or does he have it in the first year... Then this direction of criticism is obviously self-defeating in the eyes of those ordinary wizards, and it has become a false accusation that has been exposed by another slap in the face.
Akinbad watched these countries deflated quietly, and secretly thought in his heart: no one cares about Grindelwald being supervised by the British Ministry of Magic, except for the money problem, what really makes these people desperate is that since there is the Philosopher's Stone, the Harris family's control of Britain is not something that can be solved by the end of the term or the death of this generation. Lemay, on the other hand, could have grown into a behemoth for hundreds of years if the Harris family wanted to.
The French female minister looked at Alan with some uncertainty, although she did not have the recipe for making this high-grade alchemy item, but compared to others who had only heard some legends and had never seen the real thing, as a high-level of the Ministry of Magic, she could know more or less the truth about Nicol Lemay's production of the Philosopher's Stone through some secret records in the ministry.
Dartty struggled to remember that even regardless of Allen's age, there had been no mass casualties in the wizarding world, except for a few deaths in the First Wizarding War nearly twenty years ago, and the number of victims was almost negligible even after the recent ravages of mysteries in the wizarding world, and the need for the crafting of the Philosopher's Stone was almost negligible, and there had been no plague or war in the Muggle world in recent years that would have caused countless deaths and injuries to form a situation similar to that of Nicol Lemay that she could exploit.
"Ms. Dartty... Rest assured, as I said on the day I took over as Headmaster of Hogwarts, I have traveled back in time... And this Philosopher's Stone is not the product of my own work... So I'm similar to Mr. Nicol Lemay in the way I make it..."Allen saw through the horror of the French female minister, and he misled her with words, and he looked at the other man's somewhat diminished vigilant eyes with satisfaction, and then raised his voice, " Finally, as I happen to know, I have one more thing to tell you, I will be making a short documentary about the current situation of Hogwarts in the form of a short documentary, introducing the recent situation of the Floating City, and I hope that the delegates will be able to watch it at that time, maybe it will allow us to develop more friendly and closer cooperation between us, and improve the relationship between us, which is full of misunderstandings..."
