Chapter 995 Welcome to the World of Adults
"Guardian of the Fool...assessment..."
Elena chewed on Dumbledore's proposal just now, looking a little helpless.
However, in her heart, she felt more admiration and gratitude for the old wizard.
This is actually the most ingenious balance.
Without the "Tarot Guardian" system, the growth rate of the three little ones would undoubtedly be seriously lagging behind, and their current experience would not be enough to get involved in high-level decision-making. But now that they have a corresponding guide, each of them is equivalent to having a regent "assistant". This kind of fetters and assistance is almost close to that level even if it does not reach the level of a disciple of the ancient wizard.
On the other hand, as Hermione, Luna, and Hannah became "Guardians of the Fool," it was equivalent to acknowledging their identities in disguise.
Among the corresponding powers of the Major Arcana, the most important point is the equivalence of identities - the supervision and check and balance party of the Major Arcana must be another Major Arcana, allowing them to participate in checking and balancing Irene Na is equivalent to allowing them to perform part of the Major Arcana responsibilities in advance.
This state of mutual checks and balances and mutual learning cleverly resolves the status gap between Elena and the three little ones.
More importantly, even if the three of them are promoted to the Major Arcana, they will not become Elena's subordinates.
What a nosy old guy...I'm not an autistic orphan like a noseless monster...
Elena muttered silently, selectively ignoring the silly girls who were excited but afraid to show it, and concluded straightforwardly.
"In short, let's settle it like this for the time being. Before the three of 'Chariot', 'Justice', and 'Priestess' are promoted to the official Grand Arcana, they are composed of 'Tower', 'Pope', 'World' and The four Major Arcanas of the 'Queen' are responsible for guardianship. On the other hand, in addition to gradually participating in the affairs of the Destiny Group, Hogwarts, and Gringotts as originally planned, the three of them will also perform the guardianship of the 'Fool' …”
In this way, the opposition from Xenophilius Lovegood was quietly resolved.
Moreover, she had promised the three little ones that she would not hide anything. This was just a verbal promise repeated on the table.
It's a pity that some of the new gameplay and names she originally planned to try may not be put into practice. She guessed the ending, but she guessed the final identities of both parties wrong. Fortunately, Hermione, Luna, and Hannah were relatively innocent. , but there won’t be a bad scenario of offense and defense swapping.
Another good news is that with the establishment of their status as "Reserve Major Arcana", they are completely locked into Elena's camp.
The only slightly bad thing may be that if they start to get jealous, then the terrifying level of the Shura Field will start to double exponentially. The jealousy of the three major arcanas is a natural disaster that has a certain probability of destroying the world. war.
I am not Merlin, I am a girl, and girls will not end up with a hatchet...
Elena looked around at the little wings around her, comforting herself in her heart. It seemed that she would try to get as much rain and dew as possible from now on.
After the last Major Arcana chose to abstain from voting, the relevant regulations regarding the "Reserve Major Arcana" and "Tarot Guardian" were finally settled with seven votes in favor, one abstention, and zero votes against. Deng Bullido also took over the initiative again and continued to promote the meeting.
"Then, there's one last thing left."
Dumbledore glanced at Grindelwald, his expression gradually became serious, and he said in a deep voice.
"According to news from the International Federation of Wizards and the British Ministry of Magic, government officials plan to draw on the previous experience of the British Ministry of Magic to conduct joint raids on werewolf settlements around the world. Strive to completely separate werewolves from normal society. , unified and constrained to live in areas designated by the magic governments of various countries... Due to various factors, they hope that this operation can be carried out in the name of 'SCPF'."
SCPF?
In the captain's cabin of the Hyperion.
The three newly promoted "Reserve Major Arcana" looked at Miss Fool in unison.
This was the first time they heard the abbreviation SCPF.
As for SCP, they generally know that it is a non-profit social security maintenance group under the Destiny Group. The work content is actually somewhat similar to the Magical Accidents and Disasters Department in the Ministry of Magic of various countries. It is mainly responsible for dealing with major accidents caused by magic. Accidents and Disasters.
However, unlike officials from the Ministry of Magic, the Foundation is also responsible for containing some high-risk information and items.
The most important thing is that as far as they know, the existence of SCP is top secret-especially for officials of the Ministry of Magic.
"This is a fake, well, you can't say that. This is an officially recognized transnational cooperation organization."
Elena shrugged with a smirk on her face and explained in a low voice.
"No matter from the English name, the purpose of the organization... or even the personnel composition, the two have a high degree of overlap, but at least in the eyes of officials from the Ministry of Magic and the International Federation of Wizards, this is to obey their orders and maintain A stable protective shield in the magical world. Miss Justice should be easier to understand. This is equivalent to an enhanced version of Interpol in the non-magical world..."
"So, that 'F' means... Fake?"
Hermione glanced at Elena thoughtfully. She had long since stopped trying to imagine what a terrifying demon army she had joined.
Rather than constantly reshaping the three views, it is better to accept the reality directly. It is easier to write and build the three views from scratch. If Hermione guessed correctly, there is a high probability that she will be responsible for this matter in the future. After all, Her 'guardian' is Dumbledore.
"You can understand it this way. Of course, you can also understand it as a fool."
Elena blinked and replied in a pleasant and brisk tone.
Just like Hydra hidden in SHIELD, the real SCP is also hidden in SCPF.
The International Federation of Wizards, the Ministry of Magic of various countries, and those ancient magic families will take the initiative to solve some troublesome issues, such as the identification and certification of these wizards for their transnational operations, such as their wages... If these matters are handled by the Major Arcana Of course it's okay for them to do it, but after all, it's not done reliably by an official organization. At the same time, this is also the core armed force that directly belongs to "The Fool".
At the same time, the focus of several other Major Arcanas was on another piece of information mentioned by Dumbledore.
"The whole wizarding world unites to suppress the werewolves? This sounds very courageous."
Nico Flamel raised his eyebrows curiously, knocked on the table noncommittally, and commented softly while thinking.
"If I remember correctly, the last time SCPF was established was under the pretext of containing Tom Riddle's Horcruxes, right? It's time to be active after such a long time and re-expand its influence in the magical world. Werewolves are different from other Species, it poses too great a threat to humans. Besides, it wouldn’t be a bad thing if we really set up quarantine zones to make werewolves disappear like the plague..."
As a top alchemist who has lived for hundreds of years, Nico Flamel has experienced several wars between wizards and aliens.
Among them, werewolves are undoubtedly the most special category - they are transformed from normal humans and spread like a plague.
In fact, for a long period of time, both the wizarding and non-magical worlds, when facing werewolves, have always dealt with them with a direct killing attitude. Even today, werewolves still belong to In the category of "Dark Creatures".
From what "Magician" means, he doesn't seem to care about "human rights"?
Hermione, Luna, and Hannah were a little uneasy. This was the first time they heard Nico Flamel express an opinion.
On the other side, Xenophilius Lovegood was silent for half a minute and said dryly.
"Frankly speaking, I don't like werewolves, but I think that this kind of plan to deprive them of their freedom, and even their lives, cannot be used as an excuse to protect the peace of the magical world - this is actually the majority's objection to the minority. kind of extermination policy. Why don’t we try…”
"What are you trying to do? Are you going to rescue them?"
Grindelwald leaned back and leaned comfortably on the head of the bed in Dumbledore's bedroom.
"Mr. Hermit, this time is different from the humanitarian rescue a few months ago. The Ministry of Magic of each country has a rough idea of how many werewolves there are in each place."
"If the Ministry of Magic discovered that werewolves suddenly disappeared a few days before the operation, guess how crazy those officials would become? And if the news was accidentally reported by the media, oh, this is inevitable , then what kind of panic will the magic world fall into?"
The old devil looked at Dumbledore's expression, grinned, and revealed a dangerous smile.
"Unless you plan to take this opportunity to declare war on the entire magical world? Werewolf Legion, that would be a good idea."
"No one expects war, Mr. Hightower. I mean, what if they could be made to 'misremember' the number of werewolves?"
Xenophilius raised his right hand and gestured a little, looking at the handsome blond wizard in mid-air.
In the last "Raiders of the Soviet Union", the memory team led by Lockhart showed Mr. Lovegood's unimaginable influence.
As they cleverly tampered with memories and created illusions across the former Soviet Union, the Destiny Group and Gringotts Wizarding Bank not only successfully established themselves in that land, rescued a large number of valuable wizards and experts, and even interfered deeply The redevelopment of that market.
"To tamper with the memories of senior officials from the Ministry of Magic and members of the International Federation of Wizards around the world in a short period of time, is this what you mean?"
Gilderoy Lockhart looked at the naive editor-in-chief of "The Quibbler" as if he were a fool, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
Did Mr. "Hermit" overestimate the strength of the organization?
Does he really think that memory magic is omnipotent? !
Even in the former Soviet Union, he barely completed the mission with the help of hundreds of old guys who had participated in the magic war.
"Sorry to interrupt for a moment, everyone."
At this moment, Grindelwald suddenly coughed lightly.
"As for the werewolf issue, Mr. Pope's information is not complete. I have the other half of the information."
"Almost a few minutes after the multi-party meeting between the Ministry of Magic and the International Federation of Wizards ended, many employees of the Destiny Group received requests for help from different 'werewolf communities' - well-informed werewolves wanted to be protected by us, even temporarily. It’s better to evade capture.”
"Standing back, taking the initiative, analyzing rationally, and standing on the opposite side of the world... these are the four ways."
The first-generation Dark Lord looked at the expressions of the Major Arcana with a playful expression, and raised his eyebrows happily.
He waved his wand lightly, and several pieces of information about the previous roundup of werewolves by the British Ministry of Magic, a dog-like request for help from the werewolf community, and a coordinated operation plan from the International Federation of Wizards... appeared in sequence. In front of people's eyes.
"Now, here comes the multiple-choice question, what should we do now?"
…………
At the same time, the captain's room of the Hyperion.
etc!
This passage seems to be somewhere...
Hermione savored the description of "tower" and looked at Elena with emotion.
This is the same question that Elena had before during the fight - it's a multiple-choice question with only two answers.
If you don't help werewolves, you are actually helping the magical government persecute werewolves.
However, there is a slight difference in that...
Hermione subconsciously covered her mouth and looked at the photo floating in front of her in shock.
"A lot of people will die, if you choose the wrong one - in fact, it's possible if you choose the right one."
Elena turned sideways and leaned against Hermione's ear, with a devilish smile on her lips and said slowly.
"This is our job every day, every week, and every month from now on: weighing the value of life in cruelty, and trying to find the only right way. Welcome to the real, cruel, adult world, dear Miss 'Justice'."
