"Since the beginning of the fifteenth century, from the ground beneath our feet, the Muggles began to persecute wizards.

Prior to this, no matter what Muggles' attitude towards wizards was, wizards did not feel that this person, hundreds of times thousands of times their own group, would become a threat in the future.

Why?

Because in the social situation at that time, wizards had the most extensive knowledge, the most powerful force, and the most advanced means of production in the world.

Compared to wizards, Muggles are inherently weak.

No matter how hard Muggles tried, they couldn't do any harm to real wizards.

So at that time, the defeat of shamans was just a foolish method used by some religions to enrich themselves.

There are even a small number of wizards who will choose to deliberately reveal their identities.

When he was burned at the stake, he put a fire avoidance charm on himself and feigned a wail.

When the Muggle executioner was proud of his methods, he walked out unscathed.

They call this a game.

If anyone has carefully read the book "Ancient Wizards and Muggles", you will know that there were still people who could really do harm to wizards at that time, and that was a group of witchers called witchers.

They are the only ones who can inflict damage on real wizards.

However, they were more inferior, pretending to be wounded, and stabbing the poor wizard when the kind wizard approached him to help him check on his wounds.

In addition to this, poisoning, traps, ......

So the human or non-human method almost made them think cleanly.

But no matter what you say, no matter how hard the witchers try to develop, it is difficult for Muggles to shake the dominant position of wizards.

At that time, the advantage was still on our wizard's side.

However, it was also from this stage that wizards and Muggles began to gradually split into two groups.

Religion did not pose much of a threat to the lives of the entire wizarding community, but they tore apart the foundation of the peaceful coexistence of wizards and Muggles.

Wizards gradually began to hide their identities, not out of fear, but to avoid trouble.

Even if they hid their identities, they did not choose to stay away from the Muggle world, but instead lived in the Muggle world, believing that as long as they were careful, even if their identities were exposed, they would not encounter any danger.

——

However, from 1520 onwards, the casualty rate of wizards rose sharply in our historical records.

That's because Muggles at that time invented real guns, rifled rifles.

In the past, when Muggles attacked, wizards could easily use spells to help them escape from danger.

However, the advent of firearms has upset this balance.

Once the identity of the wizard is revealed, a bullet can take away a life.

At this time, the Muggles began a real persecution of wizards.

As casualties mounted, the wizarding world discovered that spells that had been invincible in the past suddenly seemed to be less reliable.

It was also because of the massacre during this period of time that the entire group of wizards began to make noise, and the grass and trees were all soldiers.

All the wizards were worried about a bullet coming from a street corner one day that couldn't be dodged.

Wizards began to move away from Muggle villages, towns, and cities.

For their own safety, wizards had to turn their energies to the development of hidden methods.

Hidden spells were mostly invented or improved during this time period.

This stage is a stalemate phase, but because there are thousands of times more Muggles than wizards, wizards are slightly at a disadvantage.

The death of a large number of wizards has turned public opinion in the wizarding society to confrontation.

The rift between wizards and Muggles is sharpened by blood feuds and the perception of the community as a whole.

The two groups are officially torn apart.

A large number of wizards gathered together and tried to keep warm by huddling.

By the end of the seventeenth century, Muggles were growing faster and faster, and wizards were struggling to survive.

The relationship between wizards and Muggles has finally reached its lowest point.

In order to keep the community alive, the wizarding world enacted a law of secrecy in 1689, which was formalized three years later and enforced by the magical governments of various countries.

Since then, the wizarding world has officially disappeared from the Muggle world, and the peaceful coexistence of Muggles and wizards has become a luxury.

This law was enacted by the International Confederation of Wizards to protect the entire wizarding world from Muggles.

Ministries of Magic are responsible for concealing the existence of magic in their own countries.

In addition to this, there is a need to control magical beasts located in their own countries, curb the public display of magic by minors, and ensure that people do not go undetected by Muggles when they secretly engage in magical sports.

The leaker will bear the corresponding legal responsibility, depending on the harm caused by the leak, ranging from property punishment to imprisonment and finally deprivation of life.

By now, Muggle and wizard societies were cut off.

But in the days that followed, the Muggles were developing rapidly, and we were already lagging behind.

If this continues, the Muggle military government will not even need to declare war on us.

Maybe one day in the future, all it takes is an ordinary Muggle to take us all out with a portable superweapon. ”

Standing on the podium of the Moldovan Ministry of Magic, Glitter spoke out of his claims.

All around, there are local wizards from Moldova.

Glitter didn't want to look so rude as soon as he came up, and submitted by force.

In his opinion, the group of wizards who had chosen to help Moldovan Muggles survive the famine was best suited to develop new members from them.

"So, you're going to lead a revolution in the wizarding world 'for the greater good,' to overthrow the International Secrecy Act and establish a new order by which to rule all of humanity?

Mike Gretel, I've heard your name, is one of the most sought-after figures in the global wizarding world, and was recently ranked as one of the most prominent wizards of our time.

I heard that Ling's portrait was going to be recorded, and I thought you were a person who devoted himself to research, but I didn't expect it to be another Grindelwald, a fourteen-year-old Grindelwald. ”

Gretel looked over and spoke as a short, fat old man with rosacea and gray hair, his name was John King, leaning there with a sneer.

Moen Secht gave him information that John King had a good friend who had followed Grindelwald's example and said that he would fight for the good of wizards.

In the end, because of his intention to break the law of secrecy, he was sentenced to Azkaban by the International Federation of Wizards.

He was also a leader in his initial opposition to Muggle support.

However, because most people chose to support it at the time, he eventually pinched his nose and accepted it, and participated in the rescue of Muggle farming.

"Grindelwald?

It seems that everyone who knows me for the first time thinks that I am the next Grindelwald, and it is true that Mr. Grindelwald is indeed a senior in my case.

But I don't think his actions will be beneficial to the wizards.

Again, the contradiction comes from the class itself, and even if Grindelwald can succeed, how long can his career last.

Even though wizards and Muggles are now two groups, the reason for this is that we are all still human.

I have a question for all of you.

Are you willing to keep riding a bunch of people on your head and squeezing you?

Does it feel good to be oppressed? Can any of you endure oppression all the time? ”

As Gretel spoke, all the particles in the entire conference room were condensed into an iron plate in front of this group of wizards, and slowly pressed down.

Even if Gretel's target was not Cedric, it seemed that they were carrying a burden weighing more than a thousand pounds.

Not to mention standing up, it is difficult to even blink.

Fortunately, Gretel just gave an example, waved his hand, and the atmosphere in the whole conference room relaxed again.

"The real pressure of just one second still made everyone's faces pale and shortness of breath.

So how much pressure has the progress of the Muggle world brought to the wizarding world by treating the wizarding world as a person?

Even if there is no me today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, as long as the wizards are not extinct, one day, they will take up arms and rush out to resist this damn secrecy law.

I'm not saying that the secrecy law is bad, but historically, the promulgation of the secrecy law has indeed helped the wizard sect recuperate successfully.

Separated from Muggles, it protects the lives of wizards and protects the existence of the wizarding world.

However, the law has a lag, and it should evolve with the progress of the times.

But what about the Law of Secrecy, which confined wizards and refused to learn about Muggle culture.

Even to the point of overkill, Alastale Maddock, the chaser of the Montrose Magpies.

Because he was very obsessed with Muggle sports, he tried to use football and basketball in Quidditch, which was criticized.

He was even fired by team manager Cormac McLeod for playing golf.

There are many more such things, ask yourself, is this kind of behavior really necessary?

The law of secrecy is no longer the law that keeps wizards safe.

In my opinion, the current secrecy law is more like a chain, a chain of will and soul created by rules and traditions.

Because of the habit of secrecy, wizards refused to learn about Muggles, in the name of preventing Muggles from discovering the existence of the wizarding world.

But who of you here doesn't know the entanglement between Ministries of Magic and Muggle governments.

If it's really a secret, you should use the Traceless Stretch Charm to create a world and lock everyone up in it, so that they don't have the slightest connection with the Muggle world.

Also because of the habit formed by the secrecy law, the damn wizarding world also divided wizards into three, six, nine and so on, pure-blood, half-blood, and mudblood like me.

This is all a bad habit caused by the isolation of the country, and only in this way can the 'noble' wizard blind his eyes and whitewash the lie of wizard supremacy in his brain.

The chains of the Law of Secrecy have long been removed, and only by removing the chains can wizards let go of their arrogance and get in touch with and understand the ever-changing Muggle society.

Of course, breaking the law of secrecy is not about casually announcing the existence of the wizarding world to the world.

It was a search for death, regardless of the attitude of nations towards the wizarding world in the past, and after centuries of development, Muggles had completely forgotten that the wizarding world existed.

If we want to walk freely in the sun, we need to think not only about us wizards ourselves, but also about how well the Muggle government accepts us.

Of course, I believe that in the current social environment of stable development, they will definitely not allow us to appear in front of ordinary people so casually.

That means revising the order, transcendental, often means chaos.

Unlike Grindelwald, I never considered coercing the Muggle government with violence.

The war that Grindelwald set off was doomed to failure.

In the face of that devastating Muggle weapon, we wizards have no room to resist at all, and that is not something that human beings can stop.

And then why I never thought about coercion with violence?

If I had only been in the wizarding world, the Muggle government would probably have just chosen to wait and see.

This was determined by the relationship between Muggles and wizards over the centuries.

It wasn't just that we saw Muggles as a different group, Muggles felt that we were very different from them.

A group that does not distinguish between friend and foe for the time being, but only uses each other, and has a high probability of becoming an opponent in the future.

Normal people would wish it was as messy as possible.

But once I'm going to reach out to Muggles, I'm ready to make a splash in the Muggle world.

Believe it or not, in less than three days, all wizarding sites around the world will be shut down by the Muggle government.

They have this ability, and now they are not moving because the enemy is not moving, and I am not moving.

So, when it comes to the Muggle world, I probably wouldn't use force.

I didn't intend to tear my face on behalf of the wizarding world and Muggle society.

Hundreds of years ago, their witch hunting campaign was able to beat the wizards who were barely able to keep pace with the times at that time.

In this case, once I do it, I can't guarantee that the wizarding world will last a few days.

Admittedly, Muggles probably can't kill all wizards, and they probably won't.

But to destroy the wizarding society of the wizarding world, they have the ability to do so.

Muggle banishment spells, confusion charms, and a whole host of hidden spells that wipe wizarding from the Muggle senses.

But it cannot erase the existence of wizards from the material realm.

According to the accounts that flowed out of the collapse of Soviet Russia, radiation was something that could affect the spells of wizards.

In the event of a war between the wizarding world and the Muggle world, there is a high probability that the Muggles will win, and there is a small probability that both will lose, and there is no possibility that wizards will win.

You don't look at me with that kind of sensational look, we have made deductions on this subject. ”

Penelope duly presented the participants with the minutes of her meetings and research.

"According to our calculations, if we start a war with the Muggle government, even if they don't use nuclear weapons, we don't have the slightest chance of winning.

At present, the effective range of firearms is generally more than 1,300 feet, and the killing distance is even several times that of the effective range.

And not to mention their missiles, fighters.

Mr. John King, times have changed.

And yet you still don't seem to know anything.

That's why Dawn, insisting on breaking the law on secrecy.

For freedom, but also for progress! ”
