After bidding farewell to Ivan, Nick Lemay sat on the sofa in the living room with the drawings, drinking morning tea and pondering ideas for improving the installation.

At this moment, a sound of "dong dong" descending the stairs suddenly sounded on the stairs not far away, which sounded very urgent.

Nick Lemay turned his head strangely and saw a seventy-centimeter-tall robot jumping down the stairs with a book in his hand.

Perhaps because he was not tall and too anxious, the little robot suddenly failed to step on the right steps, and his body suddenly lost his balance, and he fell heavily on the next step, and rolled down from it all the way.

The alchemy creatures that formed the robots screamed in panic, clutching their companions with both hands, but under the effect of inertia, many peripheral alchemy creatures were thrown out, and when they finally hit the ground, they fell apart and shattered to the ground...

Seeing this, Nick Lemay shook his head, it seems that these alchemy creatures still need to be improved.

The scattered "little radish heads" quickly regrouped after panicking for a few seconds.

However, they did not come together, but like ants moving, they lifted the thick pamphlet and moved it slowly in front of Nick Lemay.

"What is this?" Nick Lemay picked up the booklet curiously, and was then fascinated by the picture on the cover.

The Declaration of the New Century?

Nick Lemay couldn't help but frown as he glanced at the name of the booklet.

The little alchemy creatures were chattering about something, and although it sounded like "Ulala" and other meaningless words, Nick Lemay could hear exactly what they were trying to say.

"You found it in the corner of Hals's room..."Nick Lemay nodded, it was something Ivan had forgotten...

Nick Lemay drew his wand and wanted to cast a spell to notify Dumbledore, telling Fawkes to pick it up and return it to Ivan when he arrived at school.

Just looking at the picture on the cover of the booklet, Nick Lemay hesitated.

This kind of carry-around, eerie thing with strange drawings always reminds him of the catastrophe that spread across Europe decades ago.

When Grindelwald first rose to prominence in the European wizarding world, he often promoted his ideas through speeches and pamphlets.

This "New Century Declaration" seems to him to be probably the same thing, and Nick Lemay can't help but worry a little about whether Ivan will be fooled by others.

After all, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old wizard is in the process of shaping the three views, and it is very easy to be influenced by some extreme concepts, so as to go to the wrong path, Nick Lemay has the intention of taking Ivan as a disciple, and it is even more impossible to let it go.

Thinking of this, Nick Lemay tried to turn the page of the book and immediately saw the preface on it.

[We should measure the value of a wizard by his level of magic rather than his bloodline...... - Ivan Hals]

Seeing the content of the preface and the final signature, Nick Lemay's face changed slightly, and he looked a little surprised.

Nick Lemay thought that this "New Century Manifesto" was given to Ivan by someone with a heart to bewitch and influence him, but he didn't expect that the situation was the opposite, the content of this booklet was written by Ivan himself, and it seemed that he intended to elaborate on some kind of thought...

"Anti-descent?"

Nick Lemay raised an eyebrow, guessed something from the few sentences of the prologue, hesitated for a moment, and then continued to flip through.

The more I looked at Nick Lemay's expression, the more serious it became, but it soon turned into a contemplative look.

Because he found that what was written in the "New Century Manifesto" was not simply against purebloods, and did not mean to beat pure-blood wizards to death, but advocated equality and tried to weaken the advantages and influence of pure-blood wizards as much as possible.

Some of the ideas expounded in it also intrigued Nick Lemay, and they all aimed at the shortcomings of the wizarding world today, and seemed to incorporate some Muggle ideas.

As for the length of Ivan's deification of himself, Nick Lemay did not pay attention to it, and personality cultism is the most common method used by emerging forces.

"I really didn't expect Hals to have such a deep thought at such an age..."Seeing the end, Nick Lemay slowly put down the booklet and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

It's normal for a little wizard to have the idea of changing the wizarding world on a whim, and what is really rare is that Ivan can analyze the reasons for it and give some solutions.

"Genius?" Nick Lemay muttered to himself.

He remembered his conversation with Dumbledore last year, and it was no wonder that the strongest white wizard in England was so concerned about Ivan Hals, and even a little jealous.

Now he kind of understands...

In the past month and a half of getting along in this mansion, Ivan has behaved mildly and politely, like a precocious big boy, if it weren't for this "New Century Declaration", Nick Lemay would never have imagined that Ivan would have hidden such big ambitions!

This skill of disguise and forbearance is really shocking!

"No, no, it's not supposed to be pretended." Nick Lemay shook his head and rejected the idea just now, he has lived for more than six hundred years, and naturally has a way of looking at people, and no matter how much a teenage wizard pretends to be, there is no reason to hide it from him.

Ambition and gentleness are not in conflict...

"It's a pity, it's still a little tender," Nick Lemay said with a sigh as he looked at the booklet placed on the table.

The idea of ignoring bloodlines, equality and ability is too idealistic, and it's okay to shout slogans in normal times, but there is a lot of resistance to really implementing it in the wizarding world, and it will inevitably be opposed from all sides.

Of course, in Nick Lemay's opinion, these are all small things, with Ivan's talent, there will be no rivals in the wizarding world in ten years, and it will be a big deal to crush the past.

The important thing is that Ivan wants to overhaul the wizarding world and promote communication between Muggles and wizards, which will touch the bottom line of many people, breaking the centuries-old tacit understanding between Muggles and wizards, with unpredictable consequences.

Know that signing a secrecy law to separate the wizarding world from Muggles is not just a move by England or a region of Europe, but the consensus of the entire wizarding community!

Over the course of hundreds of years, many intelligent people could see that the balance of power between wizards and Muggles was tipping in favor of the latter.

There are not a few wizards who want to fight and break the tradition, and Grindelwald is only one of the most radical in the past hundred years!

But these people, without exception, all failed ...

Those in power who put out the flames of reform were certainly not fools, because the isolation of the Muggle world from the wizarding world was precisely the mildest they could think of... And the only feasible move!
