Chapter 11: 011 The Magical Congress of the United States
In the cell of the Magical Congress of the United States, Tina and Jacob are sitting, and Newt is crouching in the corner with his head in his hands, still anxious about his animals.
This is something that Tina didn't expect, she just went about her business and handed over the boxes to the Magic Congress, but she didn't expect that the president of the Congress, Lady Serafina Piquelli, would order their arrest, and overnight, the three of them became suspects in the murder of the No-Maj, locked in a cell and unable to escape.
"Can anyone tell me what that Silent Ran is?" Jacob, who couldn't stand the suppressed silence, asked.
"It hasn't been a ...... in centuries," Tina said.
"No, it's always been silent." Newt retorted, "I saw one in Sudan three months ago, there were more wizards before, wizards at that time were not hidden, some young wizards forcibly suppressed their magic in order to escape the persecution of Muggles, they had not learned the knowledge to control or control magic, and the suppressed magic would form something called silence in the body. β
Jacob was still confused, and Tina patiently explained: "An unstable, uncontrollable dark force that suddenly erupts and disappears invisibly. The Silent don't live long, Mr. Scamander, do they? β
"There is not a single case in the literature of an unseen person who lived past the age of ten, the little girl I met in Sudan...... He was only eight years old when he died! Newt said bitterly.
What Newt didn't know was that there were people in history who lived past the age of ten, one was Albus Dumbledore's sister Ariana, and the other was Credence in Second Salem.
"I understand, that is, the person who killed Senator Xiao was a child under the age of ten?" Jacob was shocked by the truth.
Newt nodded affirmatively.
At this time, two white-clothed executioners at the level of aunts came over and wanted to take Newt and Tina to the interrogation room.

At this moment, Queenie is holding Hu Qing's hand and walking on Broadway, they are as normal as a pair of No-Maj lovers, intimate, happy, laughing, and enviable.
"There's the Magical Congress, and we're here."
Bustling and bustling Broadway is home to the ornately sculpted, towering skyscraper Woolworth Building.
The tallest building in New York, and the tallest building in the world at the time, was surpassed by the Manhattan Trust Bank Building three or four years later.
After the outbreak of the Bigfoot Rebellion in 1892, the Wizarding Congress of the United States began to search for a new hidden location, sending wizards to infiltrate the construction team of Woolworths Building, a new building in New York.
After the Woolworths Building was built, it became a building shared between the No-Maj and the wizards. After casting the correct spell, it will be converted to the headquarters of the Wizarding Congress, which is the most recent relocation of the Wizarding Congress.
The two walked across Broadway to a side door at the entrance to the Woolworth Building, where the guards wore cloak-style uniforms, and Hu Qing noticed an owl above the entrance.
"Morning, Queenie ......" The guard saw Queenie, his spirit was shocked, and he was just about to say hello, his eyes were instantly attracted by Hu Qing, what did he find, Queenie was holding an Asian man so intimately!
The most beautiful witch in a witch robe in history, the goddess who made the hearts of countless male witches in the Magic Congress like a deer, has a famous flower?!
"Morning, dear, please open the door for me."
The guard woke up from a dream and immediately opened the door, and Queenie smiled sweetly, and the guard suddenly lost his mind.
"Let's go."
Hu Qing and Queenie passed through the side door, inside was an ordinary office in the twenties of the twentieth century, where many people lingered and chatted, and suddenly, the entire foyer became the headquarters of the Magical Congress of the United States under the effect of magic.
"My dear, welcome to the Magical Congress of America." Queenie looked at Hu Qing with a surprised face and smiled.
"It's amazing."
"The more amazing is yet to come."
Queenie smiled mysteriously and led Hu Qing across the wide staircase into the main hall - at that moment, even Hu Qing, who came from decades later, was shocked.
A sprawling space with gorgeous dΓ©cor and bright colors, like a Greek oil painting, with an incredibly high vaulted roof, and a busy elevator going up and down.
The most striking thing is the huge turntable hanging in the center of the main hall, with many gears and plates, on which is written: Magic Exposure Threat Level, and the pointer is pointing to emergency.
"Dali Florence Dane bless." Queenie exclaimed in surprise and said to Hu Qing in an eager tone, "My dear, the threat level of magic exposure has reached 'Urgent', which means that the wizarding world is about to be exposed...... War is coming...... I have to go to work right away, look over there, the hunchbacked old man, you just go and stay there until I come back. β
After a few words, Queenie hurriedly walked to the elevator, Hu Qing found that her steps were a little chaotic, obviously frightened, and the other staff who came to work also turned pale and hurried when they saw the turntable.
Hu Qing didn't take it seriously, he was a Yiyuan monk, he had been formally cultivating for less than a day, Tai Chi Palm and Xuantian Finger had just started, and it was okay to protect himself, and it was far from saving the Magic Congress, anyway, when the sky fell, there was a tall man staring, wandering around the hall with his hands in his pockets.
Owls hovering and flying, and wizards dressed in the twenties are busy at work. Some wizards sat in line and had a house-elf clean their wands using an automatic cleaning machine with a feather device.
Hu Qing felt interesting, leaned over to take a look, and the house-elf with big ears and big eyes said angrily: "Go aside, don't disturb my work." β
"I'm just looking at ......"
"Line up."
Hu Qing secretly raised his middle finger and turned to the corner of the hall, where a thin old man, with white hair and glasses, sat in front of a huge container polishing wand wood.
"Hey, hello, sir." Hu Qing greeted the old man.
The old man raised his head, his glasses were pulled down a little, his eyes looked at Hu Qing from above the glasses, his eyes were big and there was only one slit left, very weird, the old man put down his wand and walked over with a tape measure with a silver scale.
"Kid, buy a wand, don't you?" The old man asked, "With which arm do you use to make your wand?" β
Hu Qing looked confused, "You misunderstood, I'm not ......"
"Don't worry, kid, every wizard can buy a wand from me, I like to use the hair of cats and leopards as a wand core, I don't think you will, this kind of wand core is very popular among Ilvermorny's children......"
"Not ......"
"Arms up."
"I was introduced by Queenie, I don't ......"
"Queenie?" The old man spoke in a high tone, "Little Queenie of the Goldstein family, I remember her, very beautiful girl, and the famous owl keeper is her grandfather, isn't he?" β
"Yes, you don't have to measure ......"
"Her wand is very special, silver basswood, eleven and a half inches long, the core of the Thunderbird tail feather cane, brittle, a good wand, presumably she has a very high talent in the field of dementoring and propheticism, and also has a part of the talent for transfiguration."
"How do you know? You made her wand? β
Hu Qing looked at the old man in surprise, Queenie was a natural dementor, and her ability was difficult for even her to control, except for a limited number of people, others didn't know at all.
