Chapter 1473 The Sharpness in Maca's Eyes

In 1689, at a time when relations between wizards and Muggles were at their lowest point, the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy was enacted.

Although the regulations of the "Secrecy Act" were strongly opposed by various forces at the time, it was not until three years later that they were officially recorded in 1692 and enforced by the Ministry of Magic of various countries. However, it still took root in the magical world on a near-global scale, and penetrated deeply into the "soil" that was gradually exhausted due to the struggle at that time.

But speaking of it, it was actually an era in which wizards' magic experienced repeated declines and finally reached its lowest point.

I remember that since the beginning of the 15th century, wizards and wizards who lacked more and more inheritance have finally found it difficult to maintain the unique sense of mystery of magic in the eyes of ordinary people who have made great leaps in technology.

In addition, the wizards at that time relied too much on potion science and alchemy, which had problems with their success rate, because of their lack of ability in charm science, so that they left many terrible impressions on ordinary people at that time.

Therefore, since then, Muggles have gradually developed a resistance to those witches and wizards who seem mysterious and terrifying, and under the secret fuel of the church at that time, they became out of control.

The phenomenon of Muggle persecution of wizards has appeared since then.

Where there are wizards who are harmful to people's rumors, burn to death; where there are wizards who brew poison, burn to death; where there are wizards who pretend to be mysterious to deceive the common people, burn to death;

At first, it might have been a little organized, after all, those who were executed at that time were basically dark wizards with solid evidence. But gradually, in the midst of the church's fanning the flames and sneaking in, the Muggle people also slowly lost themselves on this road of knowing good and evil.

Some wizards who were wronged tried to use magic to escape, but many of them were unable to resist their bad luck because their wands were taken away.

After all, Muggle people are naturally ordinary people, but priests in the church are not.

Some scholars in later generations researched that there were also wizards in the church at that time, and they were a group of people who had withdrawn from the former Druids and found another way.

Of course, until now, no one can explain this kind of shit.

In short, Muggles are increasingly persecuting wizards, burning witches, and even those wizard children who have magical powers because of their magical talents, as well as many church opponents who are also Muggles because of misjudgment of punishment and false accusations. After nearly three centuries of confusion, the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy was finally born.

By the way, according to the original yearbook of the British Ministry of Magic, the newly established British Ministry of Magic sent a special delegation of wizards to contact and discuss with the Muggle monarchs of that era, William III and Mary II.

It's a pity that the negotiation based on the requirement for recognition and protection by Muggle law eventually broke down.

As a result, the wizards began to open up new homes spontaneously, live underground, and half-forced and half-voluntarily resorted to various means to keep the secret that they "still exist".

The wizards, who had finally achieved a bit of aggrieved peace, finally gradually established order with the efforts of the Ministry of Magic. Unknowingly, the settled wizards have time and space to study magic in depth, and the magic civilization that was once very close to being lost has actually recovered to a certain extent.

For example, Albus Dumbledore, who was born in the summer of 1881, was also one of the great wizards who made great contributions to the progress of modern magical society after the implementation of the "Secrecy Act".

However, there are many ambiguities in the magic knowledge that is reconstructed after a large loss and then guessed and reconstructed. This is also the most fundamental reason why Maca grumbled secretly while looking at those textbooks when she first entered school.

But to be honest, just over three hundred years have passed since the "Act of Secrecy" was completed, and the already complex and obscure magical inheritance has made the progress of the wizarding society far less remarkable than that of the Muggle society.

To put it bluntly, wizards and wizards in the wizarding world are simply not ready to reconnect with Muggles.

If it wasn't for the reappearance of Hai Erbo, a terrifyingly powerful ancient dark wizard, it would be too early to say whether there is peace or conflict between Muggles and wizards!

Yes, even Maca, who has taken a big step beyond the modern wizarding society in the field of magic, once thought so.

"Mr. Akinbad, I know, you must be very embarrassed about this..."

Looking at the current chairman of the federation, who is sweating profusely and with his mouth half open as if his jaw is dislocated, Maca also understands that this matter cannot be worked by forcing the other party to agree.

That's right, as the chairman, he has more votes than other council members at the federation's meeting table, but the decision on the motion still depends on the number of votes.

When Dumbledore was the chairman, almost no one would deny his proposal because of his personal charm, personal fame, and his usual social accumulation, and even some private transactions.

But even he, because "popularity" and "relationship" cannot be used indiscriminately, rarely raises any controversial proposals suddenly.

In this way, let alone Akinbad, who is far from being comparable to Dumbledore.

"So," Maca said to the other party, "I came to you this time not to ask you to directly finalize this matter-it's definitely not that I underestimate you, but we all know that this is definitely not you alone Things that can be done by saying 'yes'."

"Of course, of course... thank you for understanding my situation."

Hearing what Maca said, Akinbad finally nodded slightly as if he was slightly relieved.

"To be honest, Maca... As far as Mr. Dumbledore's help and support for me in the past, your business can actually be said to be my business." He whispered, "Like this time, even if it is here again No matter how dangerous it is, some members of the federation do not agree with sending so many supporting wizards, but I still defied all the opposition and brought them here."

"But," as he was speaking, he paused for a while, and said apologetically, "this kind of super-large-scale Muggle migration, even if it's only temporary, even if you and the British Muggle Prime Minister can try to negotiate and cooperate. It is also very difficult to pass such a proposal over there..."

"For so many years, the "Act of Secrecy" has been the basic law enforced by the whole of Europe, and even the world's magic community. I think the Parliament would rather let all of you British wizards withdraw from the British territory than agree to this. A bill that would most likely lead to full-scale contact between Muggles and wizards."

"Well, I know." Maca nodded, but a gleam flashed in his eyes, "It's just that the reason why they think that way is because they don't understand how powerful Hai Erbo is!"
