This Hogwarts isn't normal.

Unlike the heads of the magic governments of European countries, Thaddeus Berg just glanced at the plan and put it down.

He looked at Vincent again,

"Mr. Wayne, I talked a lot with Mr. Restman Greengrass last year. He said that I have a sword that can cut off evil, and I can swing it with all my strength at any time."

Vincent frowned slightly, but Berg smiled meaningfully, "Mr. Wayne, is what he said still valid?"

"Mr. Minister, it depends on how you define evil."

Berg smiled even more, "Mr. Wayne, I think that behaviors that bring harm and destruction to wizards and the magic world, as well as thoughts and even emotions, can be defined as evil."

Hermione looked at Vincent with concern.

The German Ministry of Magic is indeed different from other magic governments. They once had a Dark Lord, and they are more rigorous and conservative in dealing with everything than other magic governments.

On the one hand, the magic base station will bring new possibilities, but it will also destroy countless traditional industries.

But it is a dead thing without thoughts and cannot be simply defined.

Vincent looked at the steaming teacup in front of him, "Mr. Minister, I understand your concerns, but the magic base station is an excellent opportunity for the magic world of any country."

The smile on Berg's face disappeared instantly, "Maybe for other countries, but not necessarily for Germany."

Half a century later, the German magic world is still shrouded in the shadow of Grindelwald.

They are afraid that another Dark Lord will appear in the country, and the Ministry of Magic is always in a state of high alert.

This can be seen from the gloomy and depressing atmosphere. The badge door key is also to prevent enemy invasion as much as possible.

Vincent frowned, and Hermione beside him leaned forward slightly.

Her eyes met Berg's eyes without any emotion.

"Mr. Minister, I think Grindelwald's appearance is inevitable."

Berg's eyes flashed with doubt for a moment, followed by suppressed anger.

Hermione's firm gaze did not retreat at all, "Even if Grindelwald had not appeared at that time, there would be another wizard with the same idea as him."

She leaned forward again, "Mr. Minister, the difference between the two is that one appears in the German magic world, and the other may appear in the magic world of another country."

The development of Muggle war weapons will sooner or later pose a threat to the magic world. Wizards suddenly face a significant reduction in their living range, and the Dark Lord that appears at that time will only be more extreme.

Grindelwald, who saw the future in advance through foresight, may have avoided a large-scale war between wizards and Muggles.

The German magic world does not need to be overly nervous. Grindelwald is wrong, and German wizards do not need to blame themselves too much.

Berg calmed down a little, "Ms. Granger, a country's magic society cannot be easily changed."

Her idea is too naive. Entertainment projects such as Gwent have certain hazards, not to mention the magic base station that can bring earth-shaking changes to the magic world.

Hermione wanted to say something, but Vincent reached out and held her shoulder.

He nodded confidently at her, then looked Berg straight in the eye,

"Mr. Minister, I know a wizard who has always lived in the past. He has powerful magic, but he lives in regret all the time, afraid that his changes will make reality worse."

Berg was slightly stunned, "Mr. Wayne, what do you mean?"

Vincent's mouth corners slightly raised, with a bit of contempt in his blue eyes, "Mr. Minister, you are the same as the wizard that the German magic world told me about. You don't even have the courage to take a step forward."

His smile seemed to hide a sharp knife, "If you continue to stay in your old ways, you will only be abandoned by the times, and you are destined to die in decay."

Berg raised his hand angrily and slammed the coffee table in front of him.

The door of the office was opened from the outside, and several Aurors in dark robes rushed in with wands in hand.

"Mr. Minister——"

Berg raised his hand to indicate that it was okay, "Everyone go out."

When the Aurors left the office, he looked at Vincent again, who was not nervous at all.

The anger in his eyes had not completely subsided, "Mr. Wayne, if we cooperate with your company, how can you guarantee that we can really gain control of the magic base station?"

Vincent laughed at himself, "It seems that Mr. Minister still doesn't believe me."

Berg's eyes became extremely sharp, as if he could see through everything, "We once made the wrong choice to believe in Grindelwald, and I don't want to repeat the same mistake again."

Vincent put away the smile on his face, his expression was extremely focused and serious, "I can't give you any guarantees. If there is no trust between us, then there is no need for us to cooperate."

He stood up, "Mr. Minister, let's end our conversation here."

Hermione followed him with regret.

Berg looked gloomy and looked at the backs of the two people leaving.

The former Minister Anton Vogel made a mistaken verdict of not guilty because he believed in Grindelwald, which eventually led to the capture of most of the magic governments in Europe by the Witch Party.

But Vincent is not Grindelwald after all. Is his overly conservative decision the best option?

Berg took a deep breath and called the two people who had opened the door, "Please wait a moment."

Vincent showed a winner's smile.

He turned around, "Mr. Minister, do you have anything else to say?"

Berg stood up slowly, and the hesitation on his face gradually disappeared.

"Please give us some time. This important decision should not be made by me."

Vincent nodded at him, "Mr. Minister, we will wait for your good news in the hall."

When the two walked out of the office, Berg suddenly sat down as if relieved.

Whether the final decision was wrong or not, at least he didn't have to bear the stigma like the former Minister Anton Vogel.

……

In the lobby of the German Ministry of Magic,

Hermione, sitting at a round table, looked straight at Vincent opposite.

Her big eyes sparkled, and she was particularly absorbed in watching.

Vincent waved at her, "Hey - what are you thinking about?"

Hermione answered subconsciously, "I'm thinking about why you can be so charming."

"Uh -" Vincent paused, "Then you continue."

"Yeah."

After a few seconds, Hermione suddenly realized that she had let the cat out of the bag.

A blush appeared on her face, and she glanced down at Vincent who was grinning.

"I... I just..."

"Did you say anything just now?"

Hermione pouted, "No, I didn't say anything."

Vincent smiled meaningfully and continued to wait patiently for the final decision of the German Ministry of Magic.
