The convoy, escorted by wizards in white robes, entered a gate on the outer wall at the bottom of the castle.

After driving through a long corridor, it finally stopped in a huge indoor square.

"Link, here we are."

Skeffen's voice came from outside the carriage.

Link and Dumbledore looked at each other and got out of the car.

The accompanying Aurors had already formed a square according to the pre-rehearsed formation, standing on both sides of Link's carriage.

On the outside, there were those white-robed wizards who had escorted them into the castle, and a witch who also wore white robes, but was obviously more gorgeous and weird.

She is not very old, she looks about 20 years old, she has a beautiful appearance, and there are not too many accessories on her body except for the strangely styled robe.

The most important point is that her temperament is extremely cold.

Like the white-robed wizards who escorted them in, there was no expression at all.

It seems that there is no interest in Link, the actual ruler of the Ministry of Magic in this country, and the arrival of Dumbledore, the strongest white wizard of this century.

No, it's not as simple as being uninterested in the conventional sense.

Link also smelled a hint of arrogance from them through the passively activated Legilimency incantation.

In other words, they simply looked down on Link and Dumbledore.

Link's brows jumped at this discovery.

He didn't understand what he was thinking. Are all the people in the International Federation of Wizards so arrogant?

Just when Link thought so, the witch not far away finally moved.

As if a warm smile that had been cultivated through long-term mechanized training bloomed on her face, she walked over while smiling:

"Professor Dumbledore and Minister Link Foley... oh, I forgot that the Ministry of Magic has been restructured and it's time to call you Commissioner Link Foley. But anyway, hello and welcome to the International The Wizarding Federation, and thank you very much for your active cooperation in this international dispute against the Ministry of Magic."

Speaking, the witch bowed deeply towards Link and Dumbledore.

Due to the special structure of the white robe, Link could even see his deep heart. The other party seemed to have no other clothes except the white robe.

no doubt.

Just like animals show their belly to show friendliness and surrender, the other party is also showing their favor to them.

It's just that Link, who had already sensed the opponent's arrogance, still didn't give a good face. He didn't even have the quality of nodding.

On the contrary, Dumbledore seemed very happy, nodding to the witch, the corners of his mouth almost reaching the back of his ears.

"My name is Ietta Jones. I am the deputy director of the Liaison Office of the International Wizarding Federation and the Ministry of Magic. I am also your host for this meeting." Careful, he kept smiling and said, "This mediation meeting on the international disputes between the Ministry of Magic and the French Ministry of Magic will be held this afternoon after both parties have arrived, and will last for about a week. And this meeting will also be To decide the final ruling of the International Federation of Wizards on this international dispute. Come on, Mr. Link Foley, Professor Dumbledore and your guards, please wait in our specially prepared lounge before the meeting is officially held moment."

After saying that, Yieta humbly turned her body sideways and made a gesture of invitation.

However, Link did not move.

Although the other party looked polite, the arrogance in his bones was even stronger.

It was like those European exiles in the early days of North America confronting the native Indians.

Pretending to show elegance, but essentially disdain for these 'barbarians'.

This feeling made Link narrow his eyes.

He just looked around and said expressionlessly:

"The French Ministry of Magic hasn't arrived yet?"

"Yes, Commissioner Link Foley."

"Then if they still haven't arrived before the meeting, what will you do?"

Link said lightly.

His words are not groundless.

In fact, being late is also a means of negotiation.

Especially in meetings where there are no hard constraints not to be late.

And Yieta was obviously stunned when she heard the words.

The mediation meeting held by the International Federation of Wizards this time is obviously the kind of meeting that does not impose a rigid restriction on the time of attendance.

Or to put it another way, the International Federation of Wizards never considered that someone would be late for this kind of thing.

After all, in principle, this meeting is beneficial to both the Ministry of Magic of the Republic of China and the Ministry of Magic of France.

Peace is always the most precious thing.

So when faced with Link's question, Ietta, who didn't get any relevant plans, seemed a little overwhelmed.

Of course, she can also say that the superiors can make their own decisions.

If the French Ministry of Magic is indeed late, Link can file a complaint at the meeting on his own.

This is the skill of the front-line receptionist.

It's just... can she really say that?

Of course not!

Because at this moment, there is a powerful momentum mixed with magic power constantly pouring out of Link's body.

As a person who directly faced Link, the pressure on Yieta was enormous.

This kind of pressure has nothing to do with status, but a pure strength gap.

Ieta does not agree that Link, the actual controller of the Ministry of Magic in this country, has a higher status than her, but what she cannot deny is that Link's absolute strength is not in the same dimension as hers at all.

This absolute oppression in terms of strength brings absolute pressure.

Yieta had a hunch that if she really dumped the blame, then Link definitely has a backhand to make her even more embarrassed.

Ieta's mechanized smile was finally unstoppable.

Her body was shaking, and after a while, she bit her lip and said:

"We didn't think carefully about this matter. I will immediately propose to the elders of the International Wizarding Federation participating in this meeting to set up hard constraints and promise to give you an exact answer within half an hour. Before that, please temporarily I'm sorry to move to the waiting room first."

Speaking of which, Ieta bowed deeply to Link again.

But it's different from last time.

This time Ieta's salute didn't look elegant, it could even be said to be flustered.

"Oh, then you can do it as soon as possible."

Link sneered and didn't talk to Ieta again.

The other party's lofty pride has been pierced by him, and he has regained his proper attitude, which is enough.

Yieta breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, hurriedly forced a smile, and guided Link and his party to the magic elevator.

It was not what Link expected.

The Ministry of Magic elevator in the International Confederation of Wizards is not as quaint as its castle appears on the surface.

On the contrary, it is like what Link has seen in science fiction movies in his previous life. It is like an elevator equipped in a spaceship. The interior is very sci-fi, and it even has an LCD touch panel.

The most important thing is that the ride is so comfortable that Link didn't even notice that the elevator started, and the elevator door opened again.

And this time, the scene that appeared in front of Link and the others turned into a huge suite.

It seems to be located in some super high-rise building. Through the surrounding floor-to-ceiling windows, Link can clearly see the outside scenery, which is different from this rather modern architectural style and the sci-fi elevator that can reach this suite before. The furniture in the suite is unusually simple.

Of course, this simplicity is not ancient.

It's the kind of exquisite simplicity that has been carefully dressed up.

But the huge Persian rug that covers most of the main rest area and is almost spotless, as well as the Chinese ink paintings and porcelain hanging on the surrounding walls can be seen, this is not a random work.

Yieta took Link and the others around the suite, and after introducing the infrastructure, he took the elevator and left in a hurry.

She looks a little embarrassed and can't wait.

this is necessary.

Because from beginning to end, the pressure Link put on her has never been less.

Especially in the elevator, the distance between the two of them has become so close, and this pressure naturally increases exponentially as the distance shrinks.

In fact, Yieta's ability to hold up until now is enough to show that the other party also has certain strength.

And wait until Yieta leaves.

The Aurors stationed with Link also began to further check the kit.

They wouldn't fully trust the International Confederation of Wizards.

The organization that hangs over all the Ministry of Magic is sometimes not so well-meaning.

Proper search work is necessary.

Link followed Dumbledore straight to the huge French window.

Through the thick glass, I stared at the scenery in front of me.

As Link had previously predicted, the huge castle where the headquarters of the International Wizarding Federation is located can indeed be called a small city.

What appeared in front of Link and Dumbledore at the moment were endless high-rise buildings and airships floating in the sky.

They stand scattered among the clouds, like an island in the sky, and are connected to each other by some thick chains and suspension bridges.

Link also found a special island that was planted with plants and resembled a park.

And a huge area that was dressed up as a beach.

A large number of wizards in white robes were playing and frolic among them. Although they were far away, in Link's eyes, they seemed to be the size of ants, but Link still felt like he could hear their laughter.

Of course, there are also dedicated commercial areas and theaters.

The airship floating in the sky is covered with various magic advertisements.

Link even found a giant humanoid magic projection a little further away.

The projection appears to be an advertisement for some kind of clothing brand, and the model in the image is poking and posing in an extremely bizarre outfit.

"Shocked? I had the same reaction as you when I first came here. This is the city of magic, the pure wizarding kingdom, the headquarters of the International Federation of Wizards." Dumbledore stared at the scenery in front of him without turning his head. "Actually, it's no wonder that people look down on us. Compared with this place, we are completely country people."

"It's really interesting." Link said non-committally, "Why don't you do it like this, Skeffen, come and introduce it to us. I think you, a local, should be able to introduce it more clearly."

Hearing that, Dumbledore also nodded, and together with Link, turned to look at Sigeffen, who was waiting behind them.

Under the gaze of these two eyes, Skeffen seemed a little overwhelmed.

And Link continued:

"Is there anything wrong with what I said? You and the previous Iyeta know each other, and it can even be said that they have a close relationship, don't they?"

This is a very easy thing to notice for Link and Dumbledore, who have mastered the master Legilimency.

That Yieta, the arrogance in her bones is so arrogant that her eyes are going to be irritated.

But only when he looked at Siegfried, that arrogance disappeared instantly.

Instead, it was a strange, indescribable complex emotion.

It is mixed with a little love, hatred, anger, and even hope.

The answer is self-evident to allow a young lady who is full of arrogance in her bones to have such complex emotions.

"Huh—"

Gu Bing Skeffen sighed deeply.

It seems that he realized that any pretense at this time is meaningless, and he simply raised his head and admitted:

"Yes, I did grow up in this ancient castle of the International Wizarding Federation, or in other words, I am actually a member of the Harris family. And Yieta, is my former marriage partner. "

"Wow! I didn't expect that, Siege, you are still a nobleman!" Newland roared into Si Gefen's ear with some quotes, "So, your real name should be Si Ge. Finn Harris! Then, Sir Harris, how noble is your Harris family?"

Skeffen didn't speak, he just stood there with a blank face, like an emotionless robot.

But his slightly trembling facial muscles and clenched fists are still enough to show that at this moment, he really wants to punch Newland hard in the face.

"The Harris family is one of the founders of the International Federation of Wizards. Their ancestors have lived in this ancient castle for generations. They have contributed their lives to the International Federation of Wizards and have a very high status."

Dumbledore spoke suddenly and answered Newland's question.

"Oh, is it?" Link asked with a smile, "How tall is it?"

Dumbledore also picked the corners of his eyes, and continued, a little funny:

"We will see, because if nothing else happens, this mediation meeting should be chaired by the current patriarch of the Harris family, that is, old Harris."

"Wow--"

Hearing this, Newland deliberately let out a long exclamation again.

Skeffen looked at Dumbledore with a look of astonishment, as if he did not expect Dumbledore to tease him with Newland.

But Dumbledore just blinked playfully at the unbelievable stare of Sigeffen.

Geffen should actually thank Dumbledore for this.

Because Link had already conducted a detailed investigation on the family background of Sigeffen.

Although the Harris family is located in the International Federation of Wizards, Link did not investigate the results in sufficient detail, but in general, Link is still clear about the composition of his boss Geffen.

It is precisely because it is confirmed that there is no major problem with the identity of Skeffen, he can continue to stay in Link's inner circle after graduation, and even enter the Auror Command to shoulder important positions.

So it's pointless for Scourge to hide at this time. Dumbledore's actions actually helped Scourge to get out of the siege.

It's just that at this moment, Sigeffen obviously doesn't have the time to think about it.

Because Newland, who had reacted, was looking at him with a fiery gaze:

"That is to say, the person presiding over the meeting this time is your elder? Does that mean that we can walk for a while..."

"Don't even think about it!"

Skeffen interrupted Newland by suddenly raising his voice.

This made Newland a little surprised. He patted Skeffen on the shoulder and said:

"Don't be stingy, Skeffen, we're a group, and we should use it when it's time to use the family relationship. A mudblood like me can't use it if he wants to use it! And I believe you will help this time. If you're busy, Mr. Foley will definitely not treat you badly! Look at me, I caught a little spy last time, wouldn't that even give you a raise? You've done more for your help this time than I did!"

After saying that, he also winked at Link, indicating that Link must not treat Skeffen badly.

This made Link a little dumbfounded.

When Siegefan heard this, he shook off Newland's arm in distress, frowned and said:

"Old Harris is indeed my father, but it's not a question of whether I want it or not, it's just that I simply can't do it."

"Why? And I don't help my son?"

"Because he is not only my father, but also the patriarch of the Harris family! And I am no longer a member of the Harris family! Do you think between the family and the son, as a patriarch, he will choose which one ?"

This is a question that needs no answer at all.

For the patriarch, especially the patriarch of a big family, the family is absolutely above everything else.

Not to mention sons, they can even pay for it with their own lives.

This is the inherent concept of the magic family.

But what really puzzled Newland, Link and others was why did Sigeffen leave the Harris family?

Newland was particularly curious at this point.

As a Muggle-born wizard who grew up at the bottom of society, he dreams of having a strong family that can support his dream.

However, Scheffen naturally possessed all this, but finally abandoned it.

Seeing the expressions of everyone, Sigeffen finally sighed and said:

"Let me start from the beginning, just in time, I can also introduce you to some of the headquarters of the International Wizarding Federation.

Since the 15th century, Muggle persecution of witches and wizards has been taking steps across Europe. Before that, the relationship between wizards and Muggles was actually quite good. Wizards often used magic to help Muggles. The light ones helped heal the wounded, and the heavy ones directly helped some lords to fight. Among them, the most typical An example is the great wizard Merlin.

But with the intensification of Muggle persecution of wizards, more and more wizards have been harmed.

Many of our wizards today may not understand why Muggles can harm wizards at all.

Wizards have mastered the existence of magic. Muggles are as vulnerable as ants in front of wizards.

But in fact, not all wizards are so good at magic.

Many low-level wizards have no power to fight against wizard hunters who are fully armed to the teeth - the purgers.

Not to mention the little wizards.

At that time, young wizards under the age of 11 were often kidnapped and burned to death, even if their parents were wizards.

Faced with such brutal persecution, most wizards stopped helping Muggles and lived in isolation.

And in the 17th century, the International Confederation of Wizards was established.

They introduced and implemented the International Confederation of Wizards Secrecy Act, and relying on it and the support of the people, they reintegrated the Ministry of Magic everywhere to hide the wizarding world, and the headquarters of the International Confederation of Wizards, where we are now, is also came into being.

Of course, at the very beginning, the headquarters was just the headquarters, a purely administrative unit responsible for guiding the implementation of the Secrecy Act of the Ministry of Magic in various places.

Apart from the officials who work here, there are only a few family members and entourages of the officials who live here.

But then, the nature of the headquarters changed.

As the proponent of the Secrecy Act, the International Wizarding Federation, their headquarters is naturally the best in terms of secrecy. You should have already discovered this.

The headquarters we are in is high in the sky beyond the reach of Muggles, and will randomly hover over the world.

Not only that, the outer layer of this headquarters is also attached with a large number of defense devices, as well as various warning and life-sustaining spells such as Muggle Expelling Charm and Unmarkable Charm.

This is enough to ensure that the wizards who live in it can carry out their normal activities, and Muggles can't find it here.

For wizards, this is heaven! "

Speaking of which, Sigeffen paused, his eyes turned to the high-rise buildings and airships in the sky outside the window, his expression was complicated.

And Link's expression was quite strange.

Compared to the paradise that Skeffen said, he felt that the so-called headquarters of the International Wizarding Federation was more like a super-large space station that could move on its own!

He really did not expect that the wizard's technology has developed to the point where he can create this kind of sky city.

In a sense, this is actually all Muggle credit.

Because they were afraid of the persecution of Muggles, these wizards went to heaven.

This kind of sky city technology must not have been developed in a short period of time, and the highest height it can reach at the beginning will definitely not be too high.

But with the Muggles' exploration of the sky step by step, the wizards also began to fully develop and improve the technology related to the sky city, improve the speed, altitude and defense strength of the sky city, in order to achieve a kind of "you chase me and escape" The technological race, or so to speak, is an eerie balance.

So far, this balance has not been broken.

It is foreseeable that this balance and competition will also continue.

Then came the problem.

The Earth's sky, or the height of the atmosphere, has an upper limit.

When the wizards here were chased by the Muggles and couldn't retreat, would they have a sudden shock, a direct explosion of technology, and turned the current sky city into a cosmic aircraft carrier and escaped into the universe?

Link thinks this is quite possible.

After all, the potential of a race to burst out in a crisis is quite terrifying.

However, this is also a bit outrageous!

The more Link thought about it, the weirder his expression became.

"The heavenly headquarters of the International Federation of Wizards has naturally become the dream habitat for all wizards."

Skeffen continued with an incomparable emotion, "Almost every wizard who knows the existence of this place is eager to move here. Faced with this strong demand, the International Federation of Wizards has also responded.

They expanded the living space of the headquarters and absorbed the first batch of immigrants, and then, naturally, they continued to expand and continue to absorb...

The wizards have obtained a safe environment at the headquarters of the International Federation of Wizards, and magic has brought them super productivity. After the crisis, naturally, the wizards began to multiply wildly, and produced in addition to survival necessities. other needs.

For example, entertainment.

Another example is a more comfortable living environment.

And even, culture.

So after hundreds of years of development, the headquarters of the International Federation of Wizards has developed from the small flying castle at the beginning to what we see before.

Alchemy technology is highly developed, and can be displayed in front of people without any scruples.

Related industries, including various cultures, are also prosperous. "

"So, what does this have to do with you leaving the family?"

Seeing that Sigeffen stopped again, Newland asked with a frown.

"You asked me to explain and introduce the headquarters of the International Federation of Wizards, and this is also related to my leaving the family." Skeffen shook his head and continued, "The highly cohesive population and appropriate sense of crisis have brought technical The explosion of technology and the explosion of technology have pushed the productivity of wizards, which far surpassed Muggles, to a new level. The combination of the two gives the controllers of the International Federation of Wizards, that is, Harris as the leader. The various wizarding families represented, bring great power!

Harris, and the rest of the families living here, the belief they uphold is kindness and justice.

It is precisely because of this belief that they will gather together and overcome all difficulties, creating the International Federation of Wizards and the "Secret Law" in the cracks, so that wizards can continue to develop in a relatively safe environment.

However, after a long period of washing, this kindness, this belief, was eroded by huge power.

These families have now completely lost the character of their ancestors.

What supports them to continue to run the International Federation of Wizards is the desire for rights and interests.

The merits and kindness of the ancestors have become a banner, which they wrap around their bodies to cover up their ugly figures~lightnovelpub.net~ and continue to deceive and oppress the wizards in the city.

This is not the kindness I want.

So, I left here. "

As Siegefan finished speaking, the entire resting suite fell into silence.

Link, Dumbledore, and Newland looked at each other with complicated expressions.

Scheffen's ideas are great and pure, and this thought and awareness alone is worthy of admiration.

For such people, they cannot be insulted and ridiculed because their actions are unreasonable, because in a sense, they are walking on the road of becoming 'heroes'.

And most people don't even have the courage to embark on this road.

But Link, Dumbledore, and Newland also didn't want to encourage him.

Because the road to becoming a 'hero' is destined to be tragic and tragic.

As a friend, as a teacher, as a leader, Link and others would actually prefer to see Skeffen living happily as an ordinary person, rather than being a 'hero', turning into a comet and burning his own life for the sake of Darkness brings light.

Therefore, silence became the only response.

But in this silence, a voice suddenly rang out.
