In 1689, at a time when relations between wizards and Muggles were at a freezing point, the International Statute of Secrecy of the International Confederation of Wizards was promulgated.

Although the regulations of the Statute of Secrecy were strongly opposed by various forces at the time, it was not until 3 years later that it was formally established in 1692 and enforced by the Ministry of Magic in various countries. However, it is still

It took root in the magical world on an almost global scale, deeply penetrating into the "soil" that was gradually depleted due to fighting at that time.

But speaking of it, that was actually an era when wizards' magic fell into decline again and again, and finally reached its lowest point.

I remember that since the beginning of the 15th century, wizards and witches whose inheritance has become more and more serious have finally found it difficult to maintain the unique sense of mystery of magic in the eyes of ordinary people who have made huge leaps in technology.

In addition, due to their lack of ability in magic, the wizards at that time relied too much on potions and alchemy, which had problems with their success rate, which left many terrible impressions on ordinary people at that time.

Therefore, from that time on, Muggles gradually developed a resistance to those wizards and witches who seemed mysterious and terrifying at the same time, and with the secret encouragement of the church at that time, they became out of control.

The persecution of wizards by Muggles began at that time.

Wherever there are wizards who spread rumors about harmful people, they will be burned to death; wherever there are wizards who brew poison, they will be burned to death; wherever there are wizards who pretend to be mysterious and deceive the common people, they will be burned to death; wherever there are children who appear abnormal, they will be burned to death.

At first, there might have been some order. After all, those who were executed at that time were basically dark wizards with solid evidence. But gradually, with the church fanning the flames and taking advantage of the situation, the Muggle people also slowly began to change this line of good and evil.

I lost myself on the unknown road.

Some wizards who were wronged found ways to escape with the help of magic, but many were unable to resist their fate because their wands were taken away.

After all, Muggle people are naturally ordinary people, but the priests in the church are not like that.

Scholars in later generations have studied that there were also wizards in the church at that time, and they were a group of people who had quit the Druid religion and found another way.

Of course, by now, no one can explain this nonsense clearly.

In short, because Muggles are increasingly persecuting wizards, burning witches, and even wizard children who go on a rampage because of their magical talents, as well as many misjudged punishments and false accusations against fellow Muggle church opponents, etc. After

After nearly three centuries of confusion, the "International Confederation of Wizards' Statute of Secrecy" was finally born.

By the way, according to the original yearbook of the British Ministry of Magic, the newly established British Ministry of Magic at that time sent a special delegation of wizards to liaise and negotiate with the Muggle monarchs of that era, William III and Mary II.

Unfortunately, the negotiations based on the requirement for Muggle legal recognition and protection eventually broke down.

As a result, the wizards began to spontaneously open new homes, move to underground life, and used various means, semi-forced and semi-voluntary, to keep their "still existing" secret.

The wizards who finally achieved some somewhat oppressive peace gradually established order with the efforts of the Ministry of Magic. And unknowingly, the wizards who settled down had the time and space to study magic in depth. Once upon a time

The magical civilization that was so close to being lost has actually experienced a certain degree of recovery.

For example, Albus Dumbledore, who was born in the summer of 1881, was one of the great wizards who made great contributions to the progress of modern magical society after the implementation of the Statute of Secrecy.

However, the magic knowledge that has been pieced together and reconstructed after a large amount of loss has a lot of ambiguities after all. This is also the most fundamental reason why Maka secretly complained about those textbooks when she first entered school. .

But to be honest, precisely because it has only been more than three hundred years since the completion of the "Law of Secrecy", the inherently complex and obscure magical inheritance has made the progress of wizard society far less significant than that of Muggle society, which has a long history of accumulation.

To put it bluntly, wizards in the wizarding world are simply not ready to reconnect with Muggles.

If Haierbo, a terrifyingly powerful ancient dark wizard, hadn't returned to the world this time, it would have been too early to tell whether there would be reconciliation or conflict between Muggles and wizards!

Yes, even Maka, who has already taken a big step beyond modern wizarding society in the field of magic, once thought so.

"Mr. Ajinbad, I know this matter must be very difficult for you..."

Looking at the current president of the federation who was sweating profusely and with his mouth half open as if his jaw was dislocated, Maka also understood that this matter would not work by forcing the other party to agree.

Yes, as the president, he has more votes than other members at the federation's conference table, but the decision on the motion still depends on the number of votes.

When Dumbledore was the president, due to his personal charm, personal reputation, daily social accumulation, and even some private transactions, almost no one would deny his proposal.

But even he rarely puts forward any controversial proposals suddenly because "popularity" and "relationship" cannot be used indiscriminately.

In this case, let alone Akinbad, who is far from being comparable to Dumbledore.

"So," Maka said to the other party, "I came to you this time not because I want you to finalize the matter directly. It's not because I underestimate you, but because we all know that you are definitely not the only one who said this." If it works, it's something that can really be done."

"Of course, of course...Thank you for understanding my situation."

After hearing what Maka said, Ajinbad finally nodded slightly as if he was slightly relieved.

"To be honest, Maka... As far as Mr. Dumbledore has helped and supported me in the past, your affairs can actually be said to be my affairs." He whispered, "Just like this time, even if there is no such thing as No matter how dangerous it is, some people in the Federation don't agree with sending so many supporting wizards, but I still defy everyone's opinions and bring people here."

"But," as he was speaking, he paused for a moment and said apologetically, "such a large-scale Muggle migration, even if it is only temporary, even if you and the British Muggle Prime Minister can try to negotiate cooperation and jointly It is also difficult for the Council to pass such a proposal..."

"For so many years, the Statute of Secrecy has been the basic law implemented in the wizarding world all over Europe and even around the world. I think the Parliament would rather let you British wizards all withdraw from the British soil than agree to this This is a bill that will most likely lead to full contact between Muggles and wizards."

"Well, I know." Maka nodded, but a glimmer of sharpness flashed in her eyes, "It's just that the reason why they think that is because they don't understand how powerful that guy Haierbo is!"
