Mastering Thunder from Hogwarts

Chapter 248 Smuggling Kingdom

I see, is that why Fenrir has such a detailed list of goods? It seems that this werewolf wizard has at least a cooperative relationship with this organization, and what's more, he may have a deeper relationship with the Silver Spear. , Anduin nodded thoughtfully.

After Arthur's introduction, Anduin suddenly became interested in this silver spear. Their business model is the same as that of an e-commerce trading platform. They only make channels and not products. No wonder they have been able to get away with it for so long.

Moreover, this organization now almost all creates brands, just like the beer billboards in the previous life. Just open a food stall to make a sign, but it does not have direct contact with the next shop, which not only increases the popularity but also ensures safety.

"Then the Ministry of Magic in Europe doesn't want to wipe out this organization in one fell swoop?" Anduin asked curiously. Although the Silver Spear is well-organized, this is the wizarding world after all, and all kinds of magic are emerging one after another. Got some clues.

"It's not clear. The Ministry of Magic abroad is not as stable as ours. The Ministry of Magic in some countries may be more chaotic." Arthur shook his head.

"Oh, how do you say this?" Anduin was still very curious about the Ministry of Magic abroad, and he immediately became interested and asked.

"You will know, for example." Arthur leaned forward slightly, getting closer to Anduin, "Do you know the German Ministry of Magic?"

"German Ministry of Magic?" Anduin raised his eyebrows and looked at Arthur with confusion.

"I don't know the specifics. I only know that the German Ministry of Magic has been in some chaos over the past few decades. This is actually caused by the turmoil in the Muggle world. It is said that their country was divided into two by a wall, and one country was divided. It's like two countries." Arthur stretched out a hand horizontally, gestured to a wall, and said with an exaggerated expression.

Is it the Berlin Wall? This wall divides the entire Germany into East Germany and West Germany. It seems to have been pushed down in 1989. Do things in the Muggle world actually affect the wizarding society? Anduin looked at it with some confusion. To Arthur.

"You must know that even in the wizarding world, there are still many mixed-blood or Muggle wizards, especially on the European continent, where the density of wizards is higher than ours. The division of Muggle society also has an impact on the German Ministry of Magic. Although the impact is not huge, it has also increased a lot of internal conflicts, which has resulted in their internal structure being much looser than other countries."

"So the German Ministry of Magic is not strict in its management of the wizarding community. At the same time, in other countries on the European continent, the environment in each country is different, and the relationship between the Ministry of Magic in each country is also different."

"Organizations like the Silver Spear are seen as evil criminal groups by the Ministry of Magic in many countries, but to other countries they are friends and partners they can cooperate with."

"So we are alone overseas. Although we are relatively lonely, we also have fewer enemies."

Arthur said a lot in one breath, and his mouth was a little dry from exhaustion, so he quickly took another sip of herbal tea.

"So, what is Minister Badno's attitude towards the Silver Spear? That Fenrir is obviously related to the Silver Spear. Presumably they are also reaching out to the UK."

Anduin recalled what Hogg had mentioned. He had seen some smugglers selecting goods in the cave. It was possible that the Silver Spear had penetrated in, and Fenrir's stronghold might even be a listed company. black market.

It's just that the werewolves may not be very smart, have some credibility issues, and have the habit of eating customers. I don't know what the management of Silver Spear will think when they find out.

"Minister Badno's will is naturally resolute. She will not allow such criminals to take root in the British wizarding world. Since the werewolf stronghold was discovered by you, the Minister has arranged for the Department for the Management and Control of Magical Creatures to organize several meetings with Aurors.

We launched surprise inspections and indeed seized many smuggled magical animals."

Arthur said eloquently that although he did not hold a high position in the Legal Enforcement Department, he was still considered the head of an independent department, so he was aware of many high-level decisions.

Anduin nodded in approval when he heard this. This kind of organization will have a bad impact on the local magical animal ecology and must be dealt with resolutely from the beginning, otherwise it will be deeply rooted in the future and it will be difficult to solve.

"By the way, Mr. Arthur." Anduin remembered that he had some business matters to consult, so he quickly asked, "You are the director of the Office for Prohibiting the Abuse of Muggle Items. I would like to know about the legal provisions in this regard."

"Oh? Why are you suddenly interested in this area? No one has ever paid attention to the laws related to Muggle items. Now it is extremely difficult to recruit someone who knows about this." Arthur heard Anduin suddenly chatting.

His expertise suddenly became interesting.

"I want to know what constitutes misuse of Muggle items. If I cast spells on Muggle items and make them into commercial products, will it violate the law?" Anduin asked what he was most concerned about.

When he was thinking about doing business before, he thought about directly processing Muggle items for sale. After all, the products produced in the Muggle world are not bad in technology and have high yields, which can save him a lot of time and cost in production.

"That's what you're asking." Arthur chuckled, obviously very experienced in this, and blurted out without thinking much.

"The main responsibility of the Office for the Misuse of Muggle Items of the Ministry of Magic is to restrict wizards from enchanting items used by Muggles and to ensure that they will not return to Muggle hands. This is mainly to maintain the Statute of Secrecy."

"And another law states that it is prohibited to use magic on Muggle items with subjective intention of use and to add additional functions to them."

"For example, if I want a teacup produced in the Muggle world to learn to talk, it means that I subjectively want it to add additional functions. If I really cast a spell to make it talk, then I would be breaking the law."

"So in theory, as long as you use magic on Muggle items, it is considered a violation of the law." Arthur said with a smile and a sip of tea.

"So strict?" Anduin was speechless after hearing Arthur's explanation. Doesn't that mean that he is not allowed to cast spells on any Muggle items.

Seeing Anduin's face suddenly stiffen, Arthur smiled and said, "What, do you want to study Muggle items?"

"It's not really research. I want to do some alchemy prop business in the next year or two. If possible, I think it might be more convenient to process some Muggle items directly into magic items, but it doesn't seem possible now.

It's over." Anduin rubbed his temples, his expression a little depressed.
