Cardcaptor at Hogwarts

Chapter 274 Eugene's Conspiracy

Based on this, the documents given by Eugene are not enough to prove that those magical animals are "beasts" that "have not overcome their ferocious nature."

In fact, they do have the ability to overcome their nature, but they just don't want to do so under certain conditions.

This is evil from the subjective will of an individual, and it is difficult to extend it to the entire race through objective proof.

Just like those dark creatures who were arrested, others who were not arrested can just say "they are just the bad part of the race and cannot represent them all."

"That's a very objective statement, sir, but what I want to do is not classify them as 'beasts'."

Eugene's words made the man couldn't help but wonder.

There are only four types of creatures classified by the Ministry of Magic.

Man, beast, spirit, non-existence.

Kick those creatures out of "people" without classifying them as "beasts", ah...

"Mr. Minister, do you want to..."

He couldn't help but swallowed:

"Slaughter them all?"

It is impossible for those magical animals to become "non-existence", so the only remaining possibility is to kill them all and see if they can be turned into "spirits".

Eugene couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he said this, and then quickly explained:

"It's not that, it's about fundamentally changing the current rules for the classification of living things by the Ministry of Magic... Please read the last part of the document on the first issue."

There is a thick stack of documents, and of course it is impossible for everyone to read every one of them before the meeting begins. They scan the outline first and then go to the specific points.

After Eugene finished speaking, the sound of turning pages suddenly sounded in the conference room.

"Nine-square grid division?"

A voice sounded, and the owner of the voice frowned subconsciously:

"Oh my God, it took hundreds of years for the four categories of the Ministry of Magic to be finally finalized. When will the nine categories be resolved?"

"It's a very novel idea to classify living things according to their positions of good and evil. If it succeeds, it will indeed be much better than the current classification method."

The current director of the Department for the Management and Control of Magical Creatures, and one of the witches that Adam just named as having a crush on Eugene, said, but then she looked at Eugene and shook her head:

"But Mr. Minister, have you ever considered how we can judge each other's good and evil stance? This is back to the unreliable testing method used by the Ministry of Magic."

Doesn't the Ministry of Magic know that the testing method is ridiculous and idiotic?

Of course they know!

But the problem was that the issue of biological classification had been debated for hundreds of years at that time. It was difficult to find a method that could reach preliminary agreement on all aspects. Even if the debate continued, it had to be completed first.

"Don't worry about this, everyone. What we want is an absolutely objective stance on the good and evil of this species, so I will use some external forces to achieve this goal."

"Foreign object...could it be?! Do you want to use Veritaserum?"

said the witch in surprise.

This idea sounds a bit absurd at first, because truth serum will have some negative effects on the user.

But...if Eugene really insists, it's not impossible.

If the Ministry of Magic did this kind of thing before, the Ministry of Magic would definitely be attacked by a group of people. Not to mention the pressure from magical animals, this was never what the Ministry of Magic considered. The main reason was the pressure from within the wizards.

After all, there is always that overfed wizard who thinks about protecting the rights of other species every day before protecting the rights of his own kind.

The Ministry of Magic needs to maintain light and justice at least in name, so there is really no good solution for them, and it would at least be a mistake to take action.

But things are different now. A large number of dark creatures followed Voldemort to resist the rule of the Ministry of Magic and disrupt the order of the wizarding world.

For this reason, the Ministry of Magic uses Veritaserum on magical animals. Although there will definitely be objections, at least they have their own reasons and it is not a one-sided injustice.

"Veritaserum is indeed an option, but the Ministry of Magic also has other options for those who do not want to suffer negative consequences and are willing to cooperate with the Ministry of Magic for testing."

While speaking, Eugene glanced in Adam's direction, then snapped his fingers, and the deputy waiting aside brought up a golden scale.

"……What's this?"

"The legendary artifact from Egypt, the Scales of Anubis. It can take out the subject's heart without harming the subject. If the subject does not lie during the whole process, he will be safe, but if he lies during the process... "

In the middle of what Eugene said, there was a loud swallowing sound in the conference room.

How many people can remain calm in the face of something like this, where they either speak out their truest thoughts or tear out their hearts?

"Um, Mr. Minister, is the origin of this artifact credible?"

An older director asked while wiping the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.

"The only son of the current Egyptian Minister of Magic studied at Hogwarts for some special reasons and lived in the same dormitory as me."

Eugene explained.

Not everyone knows the special characteristics of the Egyptian Ministry of Magic, but everyone soon understood it with the help of insiders.

This is something that the next Egyptian Minister of Magic has brought out. It is backed by the reputation of a country's Ministry of Magic. Regardless of how credible it is, at least no one can question it at will without evidence.

"..."

Seeing everyone fall silent, Eugene smiled slightly:

"So, do you still have questions about this topic?"

Everyone shook their heads in unison.

Apart from the horror brought by Anubis's scale, Eugene's topic is indeed very feasible and has a very good effect after success.

First, they looked at the biological division method of the Nine-square grid. The biological division is based on the moral values ​​of good and evil. There may be differences between different individuals of the same race, but being able to roughly define it can be of great help.

The second is the test of the moral values ​​of good and evil. Eugene stated in the document that a series of questions will be used to divide the test results of a large number of individuals of the same race. The only problem is how to make the tester tell the truth.

The two options Eugene gave were simply the most open and aboveboard conspiracy -

First, give a truth serum, which can be said to be in the right place in the current situation, and completely ignore those opposing voices, all for the stability of the wizarding world.

And for those who think that "truth serum will cause harm to the body, if it can be done without harming the body, then I will definitely cooperate", Eugene took out the Libra of Anubis.

Indeed, this side effect is much more severe than the truth serum, and it is directly fatal.

But aren't you cooperating?

Since you cooperate, why are you afraid that I will use the Libra of Anubis?

Especially Eugene's sentence on the document, which is a direct killer:

The Libra of Anubis will be controlled by Eugene alone throughout the process, and Eugene is willing to make a magic oath.

This sentence puts an end to the final doubts about Eugene personally, indicating that Eugene has no selfish motives in the process. In this case, those who still oppose... are the enemies of the Ministry of Magic.
