After reading it for more than an hour, Ivan roughly finished the two-finger-thick booklet, and his face became extremely exciting.

The "Declaration of the New Century" is divided into three parts.

The first part is a summary and analysis of the content of his previous speeches, breaking each sentence into a separate page, with at least a thousand words of notes underneath.

Just looking at Ivan made his scalp tingle and embarrassed, even the reading comprehension he had done in his previous life was not so exaggerated... It's like a magical version of the Bible or the Analects.

The second part is followed by his legendary experiences in recent years.

However, there is a certain deification in this part of the words, and even Ivan can't recognize that the Lord Ivan Hals, who is born with great wisdom and great magic power, and will lead wizards to a new era, refers to himself...

It's an exaggeration...

Finally, the third part is based on his theory to explain the future transformation of the wizarding world, which seems to Ivan to be slightly more normal.

The book also specifically argues that in order to unleash the productivity of wizards, it is necessary to change those old ideas, free wizards from meaningless and boring work, and devote themselves to more meaningful magical research...

"Gleason?!" Ivan turned to the last page, merged the "New Century Declaration" with a snap, and muttered to himself with a headache.

These people are so capable of doing things?

He's hid in a safe house in Paris, and he's not going to let him go...

If he could, Ivan would like to drag the wizard named Gleason over and teach him a lesson, lest this guy spend his days thinking about how to come up with new tricks to get credit.

Ivan was so angry that his teeth itched, and when he calmed down, he looked at the book again, but he didn't know what to do with it for a while.

Putting aside those prejudices, Ivan also had to admit that the "New Century Manifesto" is indeed a book with progressive ideas, and summarizes some of his ideas very well.

The content is simple and thought-provoking, presenting the shortcomings and dilemmas of today's magical world in front of the reader, and also proposing some practical solutions in the analysis and summary.

Even Ivan benefited a lot after reading it, and from time to time he would suddenly feel a feeling of "I thought this way, I had such foresight".

As for the intentional or unintentional apotheosis in the second part of the legendary experience, Ivan thought about it carefully and understood the deep meaning.

Apparently, Gleason thought he wanted to engage in a cult of personality.

Ivan has read history books, and of course knows that in some extreme cases, propaganda in this way can greatly improve the cohesion of a team in a short period of time, and cultivate a group of enthusiastic and heartfelt subordinates.

But history has also proven that cult of personality is a double-edged sword, and almost all the extreme examples that Ivan can think of have gone wrong!

The reason is simple, followers usually fanatically believe that "God" is perfect and infallible, which leads to the absolute authority of "God" and no one dares to deny "God" Word.

It's a pity that all those who have been sublimated into gods and thus supported by everyone are still human beings after all...

As long as you are an individual, you can't always make mistakes and make absolutely right choices in everything!

Once there is a mistake, the blind obedience of a large number of supporters can easily amplify this wrong behavior infinitely, and eventually become difficult to clean up.

Ivan reached out and took a piece of parchment from the side, holding a quill in his hand, but hesitated for a long time without dropping.

He had originally thought that he should write a sternly worded letter reprimanding Gleason for his self-indulgence, so that he could restrain himself and burn or seal the book.

Because according to Gleason's idea, he will definitely be very uncomfortable in the future if he gives a copy to the wizards in Tumbledown Alley.

It is not a good thing to be deified, it means that you need to be careful in everything you say and do to maintain your own image.

When he first returned to Tumbledown Alley, in order to suppress those dark wizards, Ivan deliberately pretended to be strong and fierce, and he couldn't stand it for just a week, so he was forced to hide in this safe house.

If he pretends to be a few years or more than ten years, then he will not go crazy!

In addition, Ivan is a little worried that this "New Century Declaration" portrays him too strongly, and once he can't hold back and carelessly wears it, it is very likely to cause the collapse of faith.

Wizards who realize they've been deceived may do something crazy.

This is also the reason why Ivan feels that this New Century Declaration needs to be sealed, and it is too easy to cause some trouble for himself.

If it accidentally spreads and spreads on a large scale, attracting the attention of the Ministry of Magic, it will be even more doomed.

According to the information he learned from many contacts with Fudge, the Minister of Magic is a real conservative, and his governing philosophy is mainly to maintain stability, and it is impossible to support such radical ideas, and may even resist them and trace the source.

In the end, he will definitely be found on his head, because the "New Century Declaration" was written with him as the center, and his name is clearly written on it.

Of course, given his age and popularity in the wizarding world, publishing such a book that promotes radical reform and self-deification can only be regarded as very outrageous, and it is not explicitly illegal, and Fudge can't help him at all, at most explicitly prohibiting the spread of books.

But if he raised a large number of dark wizards in Tumbledown Alley and trained day and night to conquer the wizard market and was poked out, it wouldn't be necessarily!

Fudge would never allow such a wizarding legion to threaten the Ministry of Magic!

The Minister of Magic may also think that he is the next Voldemort, because this kind of gathering of people, promoting ideas, and engaging in personality cultism is very similar to the actions taken by Voldemort during his rise.

So a bad Azkaban will be his final destination...

As for disbanding those wizard subordinates and taking the initiative to make overtures to the Ministry of Magic to prove their harmlessness?

Ivan didn't even think about it, only a fool would do that!

The original plane has proven many times how unreliable the Ministry of Magic is.

In the turbulent days when Voldemort was about to return and Dumbledore's life was not long, it would be nice if Fudge could stabilize the situation and not add to the chaos.

If he wants to protect himself, he has only two options.

Or leave all your friends behind and leave the wizarding world in England and find a place to hide. Either try to increase your own strength, and fight in a group if you can't win a heads-up fight, at least don't be pinched by the resurrected Voldemort as a soft persimmon...

The third surrender option did not exist, and Ivan knew very well that Voldemort must have remembered the revenge of the two bullets, which was why he actively destroyed the Horcruxes...
