Chapter 89 The Magical Congress of America
Two days later, Noah and his family got off the cruise ship.
According to Cooper, the United States calls "Muggles" "No-Majs" and is more discriminatory against "No-Majs" than the UK.
They have stricter legal boundaries, even tougher than the relevant laws in the UK.
"The Ministry of Magic in the United States is the Magic Congress," Cooper blinked. "To some extent, it is indeed much more luxurious than the Ministry of Magic."
"Have you ever been to the Ministry of Magic, Noah?" Christina looked at her husband helplessly, "Hurry up and get ready, Muggles need to check the boxes for security check."
The Lannister couple each carried a suitcase, one containing the goods and the other their luggage.
They followed the flow of people to the security check point. Many uniformed police officers had tables in front of them, firmly occupying both ends of the corridor.
The couple smiled at Noah and walked to an empty table.
Christina pulled out three wallet-style Muggle certificates and handed them to the waiting security inspector.
The man showed no expression. He took the three exit passports and opened them one by one: "British?"
"Yes." Cooper smiled.
"Isn't this your first time visiting New York?"
"Yes."
The man glanced at the three of them and looked at the box in their hands: "Is there any food in it?"
"No."
"livestock?"
"No."
As he asked and answered questions, Noah subconsciously straightened his sleeves and pressed back a snake that classified itself as a "domestic animal".
The security inspection here requires both manual and instrumentation. After passing the manual inspection, they need to pass the instrument.
With the development of Muggle technology, wizards have also had to strengthen the power of confusion spells, at least making considerable progress in fooling Muggle instruments.
The two boxes passed the instrument smoothly, and Keya, the only one who needed attention, also passed the security check smoothly under Cooper's spell.
After coming out, Cooper called a taxi, the three of them got into the car and rushed to their destination.
The Magical Congress of the United States is located in the Woolworth Building in downtown New York. Unlike the Ministry of Magic in the United Kingdom, which is completely hidden from the sight of Muggles, the Magical Congress of the United States shares a building with Muggles.
Of course, this does not mean that there is any intersection between the two. In fact, Muggles in the United States still don’t know that that building is also used by wizards.
The telescopic spells of the wizards played a great role. Even under the spells of the wizards, the internal floors were as high as hundreds of floors, which was much wider than those of Muggles.
There are owl signs on all the doors for wizards to enter and exit. You only need to use the spell correctly to enter the territory belonging to the wizards.
The Lannister couple took Noah to the side door. Muggles were coming and going around them, but no one noticed anything unusual.
Cooper took out his wand, waved it vaguely, and pushed open the door.
Noah followed his parents and entered the door. The scene in front of him suddenly changed, at least it was different from what he saw outside the door.
As soon as you entered, there was a wide passage leading directly to a staircase. On both sides of the staircase stood two wizards in black, watching everyone who came and went warily.
When you look up, you can't see the ceiling. You can only see a four-sided clock suspended in mid-air. In addition to the time, there is a circle on the clock dial, pointed by a thicker and longer pointer. The extra outer ring shows something other than
It's time, and the divided area shows the magic exposure threat level indicator clock, which is the urgency of magic being exposed to Muggles' sight.
[Zero Threat], [Level 1 Low Threat], [Level 2 Medium Threat], [Level 3 High Alert], [Level 4 Critical Situation], [Serious Situation, Unknown Activities] and [Level 6 Critical Situation], according to
The situation is also divided into different levels of areas, from harmless green to blue, yellow and orange to critical red. In addition, there are three slender small areas with the words [Wizard needs to be arrested], [Those who leak secrets],
【Forgotten Reporter】Three areas.
This shows how strict the MACUSA is on the boundaries between Muggles and wizards.
At the moment, the pointer is pointing at a level one low threat. In fact, it should point to zero threat in a while. The reason why it is a level one threat is because Muggles have recently developed some technologies, such as rockets or detectors.
However, as time went by, the wizards gradually relaxed.
Go up the stairs to the second floor. When you look up, you have an unobstructed view of the interior of the hundreds-of-storey building. There are windows on all sides, and every three windows represent an office.
They looked back and saw a huge tapestry hanging on the wall, depicting the president of this generation of Magical Congress, a very cold-looking witch. She even had a cold expression on the tapestry, and her eagle-like eyes were watching everyone sharply.
A person who enters Congress.
Noah and the others walked through the large hollow square on the second floor. The golden sculpture on the wall slowly lowered its head and glanced at them, then raised it back to its original position.
Noah withdrew his gaze and looked at the Magical Congress carefully.
People come and go here, and most of them are well-dressed. If you say this is a famous company, some people will definitely believe it.
Some waiting wizards were sitting on the benches against the wall, reading newspapers or chatting quietly. Some house elves were busy, cleaning or making something, making the place look very lively.
There are even multiple external elevators on the walls. These elevators are all hollowed out with exquisite patterns. A house elf wearing a suit, vest, and hat is waiting inside, providing them to every wizard who enters the elevator.
The floor you need to go to.
The three of them got on the elevator, and the house elf bowed slightly politely: "We meet again, Mr. Lannister, Mrs. Lannister, and, oh, this little Lannister."
"Hey, Ari, long time no see." Cooper smiled, "We need to go to the immigration department."
The house elf named Ari nodded. He raised his hand and pressed a button on the wall, then turned the knob under the button. The elevator door slowly closed and began to slowly rise upwards.
The elevator is very fast, and we reach the 28th floor in the blink of an eye.
This floor is the department that supervises the entry and exit of wizards. In fact, the entry and exit of wizards is also a bit cumbersome. In addition to the entry and exit application, they also need to apply for a local wand license. Some activity areas are also restricted, and even certain behaviors are required.
restricted.
In fact, the wand license is equivalent to a "trace". It does not restrict wizards from using wands, but it will locate the wizard's location at any time, and even detect when the wizard uses special spells and notify the Magic Congress.
It can be said that the Magical Congress of the United States is extremist in restricting wizards to prevent them from being discovered by Muggles.
