"Since Helbo may send a large number of resurrected dead under his control to leave London at any time, the Muggle world will be greatly impacted... In order to minimize the number of casualties, and in order to do nothing more,

To improve as much as possible the good impression of wizards and wizards like us in the hearts of Muggle people, I, Babajide Ajinbad, would like to propose"

"Impossible!" "Stop!" "Objection!"

As if they had guessed what Ajinbad wanted to say, several members of the parliament raised their objections almost in unison.

"Wait a minute, everyone..." Ajinbad, who was interrupted, looked a little annoyed, "It seems I haven't spoken out the bill yet, right?"

However, no matter how good-tempered he is, as the president of the federation, he was rudely blocked back before he even finished speaking about the motion. No matter what the actual content of the motion was, anyone who changed him would probably be angry.

However, even though he was elected president, it was impossible for him to be unanimously approved, right? Not to mention, there were many factors that included Dumbledore's support.

To put it bluntly, there are a lot of people currently staring at the chair under his butt!

As expected, the Russian representative sitting in the front row, who had been quite unscrupulous in previous conferences, raised his hand and slapped the table hard.

"boom!"

"President, is there any difference between saying something about your proposal and not saying it? With your speech just now, it is clear that you are going to reach out to the Statute of Secrecy, right? What else did you say about 'improving the reputation of wizards and wizards in the hearts of Muggles'?"

Impression'...Have you forgotten how our ancestors found peace back then?"

Different from European countries such as the United Kingdom and France, Russian wizards and witches are always covered with a subtle veil in the eyes of their country's Muggles.

Just like in the Middle Ages, British wizards were respected and even awed by the general public. During the war years, wizards also went to the front lines to protect ordinary people and sacrificed themselves in exchange for peace.

But in Russia, people don't always have a good impression of witches, such as "Baba Yaga, the fear witch", "Mora, the death witch", etc. Even if some advantages are spread among the people, they are generally evil.

exist.

Especially during the period when a wave of expulsions of witches and wizards was taking place around the world, Russian witches and wizards suffered quite serious persecution, so much so that when the "Secrecy Act" initiative was proposed, they were the first to respond at the meeting.

Therefore, Akinbad's words clearly touched their most sensitive areas. It is no wonder that the tall Russian wizard slapped the table in protest.

However, if someone refutes, there will always be someone who agrees. The second person to speak was the representative of Norway, which is only separated from the UK by a small North Sea.

Of course, the reason that prompted the Norwegian representative to speak was actually not just the proximity to the United Kingdom.

I remember that not long after Helbo was born, Karkaroff mentioned to Maka that several dark wizard organizations in Northern Europe suddenly changed from competing with each other to merging.

Although there was internal strife at that time due to the fight for the new leader, by now, the choice of leader should have been decided.

As for Norway, which was the main location for the rise of the Dark Wizard Rebellion, even if Halper had never been there, the life of the local Ministry of Magic was probably not going to be easy.

"You have seen the horror of Haierbo just now! Representative Ivan, since you feel that you cannot give up the "Secrecy Act", why not come up with a solution first? You can tell me, what should the British side do?

What’s the best way to deal with it?”

The most fundamental reason why the Federation was established is to maintain the stability of the global wizarding society. Just like Ajinbad proposed such proposals, it is also to solve problems.

It has to be said that this congressman from the Norwegian Ministry of Magic has hit the nail on the head.

It's a pity that the Russian representative Ivan is famous for being unreasonable. If you tell him this, the possibility of being subconsciously wizarded is very high.

Fortunately, before the other party could bang the table and argue again, Hearst, the Vice Chairman of the U.S. Congress who had just exchanged enthusiastic greetings with Kingsley, stood up and said first:

"Ms. Myers is right... No matter what, we are all here to solve problems, otherwise this meeting will lose its meaning! And based on my personal understanding of the current situation in the UK, and what happened just now

For a shocking memory fragment, it is indeed necessary to temporarily retreat and stay on the defensive!"

Due to the rapid development in recent years, the international status of the American wizarding community can be said to be different from what it used to be, so much so that the weight of the American representative's speech at the Federation Conference seems to have become heavier.

Of course, people who don't buy it will never buy it.

"Hmph! 'Retreat'...are you trying to laugh me to death?" Ivan said loudly and unscrupulously as before, "In the hearts of our country's wizards, there has never been such a thing as 'retreat'. Then Haierbo is strong, but even if

No matter how strong he is, do so many wizards in Britain grow up eating air? What kind of war can a coward without courage fight? If it were me, if I drank two bottles of vodka, I could even unscrew Merlin's head and play a game of Quidditch.

!”

"Cough cough cough"

Ivan's messy remarks made many congressmen choke and cough. Hester, who was standing, shook his head in disgust.

"If you are so capable, why don't you go to London to provide support to the British wizards who are fighting?"

Faced with Hester's push, Ivan slapped the table calmly and said decisively: "Just go! Aren't you just an ancient dark wizard? As soon as this meeting is over, I will bring a group of warriors to London!"

When others say this, some people may think that they are following the trend and talking big words, but when these words come from Ivan's mouth, the support matter is basically settled.

Let alone after the meeting, no one would be surprised even if he left now.

Suddenly, Kingsley, who had tried his best to keep a low profile since the meeting began, couldn't help but secretly rejoice that despite Ivan's rough and tough appearance, his magic level...especially his actual combat level was extremely high. Even if he was the only one going there,

It is also equivalent to adding a new force like Aberforth to the resistance against Haierbo, which should not be underestimated.

However, this is not of much help to Ajinbad's motion this time.

Seeing that Ivan seemed to have stopped speaking for the time being, Ajinbad knocked on the podium and drew all the eyes attracted by Ivan to the stage.

"Everyone"
