Chapter 303 No One Is Wrong
Kane seldom speaks wildly or harshly, but this time he was really angry.
He was not only angry with the performance of a group of wizards, but also angry with the performance of the mortal ruler and the Holy See.
He dislikes wizards, hypocritical when they should be straightforward, and cowardly when they should be cold.
Including the wizards who participated in this high-level meeting of the International Federation of Magic, most of them are tofu in the ashes, they are old, greedy for power, cherish their lives, and fearful of trouble.
During the meeting, he pointed out the importance of "seeking peace through war" twice, but those old guys didn't hear it.
When something happened that required attitude and action the most, one by one played fair and pretended to be aloof. When the mortal ruler asked, "We are researching", "This matter involves a series of more complicated issues, and it cannot be solved overnight"...
In terms of playing bureaucracy, are you better than politicians from all countries in the world? How big is the stall, how many people are playing this game, how about you?
Now seeing people getting angry and tearing their faces apart, and rushing to get involved, they dug a big hole, you guys are going to be daredevils? No, it's not you who jumped, it was you who organized the elite combat power among the wizards to jump.
This face of cheating one's own people before and after is really as ugly as it wants.
The Holy See, Kane didn't have high expectations for the Holy See, and he also knew that they were always looking for needles, and they would not let go of the opportunity to attack the wizards. They always had an attitude of being willing to get something.
He was angry that facing a lunatic like Voldemort, it was not too big to be able to make troubles, instead of trying to find a way to calm things down and solve the problem.
There are also those rulers in the mortal world, who were fed too much sweet dates and were caught, and forgot the taste of the big stick. It's time to tap.
As for the meeting in front of him, Kane looked around at the next guy who was not letting go of the old god, and he felt that there was no need to continue wasting time here.
"Sorry, the group has urgent matters to deal with, so I'll leave the stage first, and I will abstain from voting if there are any resolutions." As he spoke, he pulled up his robe and walked away.
No one said a word.
After he left the meeting hall, someone stabbed him: "What kind of attitude is this? Do you still take the Federation and Wizengamo seriously?"
Someone else suggested: "If a crusade team is formed, I suggest to reserve a place for Mr. Kane Shafik, after all, he is the chief war witch of Wizengamot."
There are also people who are thinking about the treasure: "The chief war witch joins the battle,
It really shows our sincerity. Also, remind Mr. Shafik to carry the Sands of Time, which is a key item to stop Voldemort from going mad. "
As a result, some people stood up one after another and left the table for one reason or another. There were almost twenty of them.
These people basically taste the taste.
First of all, they support Kane's point of view, and they don't think wizards should form a team at this time to express their sincerity in fighting Voldemort, which is too passive.
Second, they all saw that their point of view could not be passed. Most people in this meeting are afraid that the Holy See and the rulers of the mortal world will be in deep collusion to start a witch hunting war.
Of course, it is the enraged people who are really afraid. To start a war, whether the people agree or not is absolutely a world of difference. This time, it was precisely because the people truly felt the threat to their lives and the anger of leaving, which gave the mortal rulers and the Holy See a chance to operate.
If it was because of Voldemort that wizards stink up the street and become street rats, it would be miserable.
So these wizards were persuaded, and decided to capture or kill them before Voldemort completely blackened the reputation of wizards.
However, the real problem is that Voldemort is not easy to deal with, and he will grow mushrooms even more unscrupulously if he is in a hurry. In this context, if a relatively favorable agreement cannot be reached in the negotiations with the human rulers and the Holy See, then there is nothing wrong with what to do.
Besides doing your best, what can you promise? If you win, you should, but if you lose, you will be punished. How can you play this? As Kane said, are wizards willing to see the birth and evil of a villain like Voldemort? Voldemort is not a minor under the guardianship of his parents. He is indeed responsible for being an official organization of evil wizards, but the main blame is still his own. If something goes wrong, the wizards need to solve it and give an explanation. Is this the right way to play?
But most of the wizards who participated in the meeting were frightened by the 3 trillion US dollars, and the mobilization of the Holy See and the mortal world. After seeing the bottom line at a glance, they decided to admit defeat. Then there's no need to spend any more time here.
It can be said that the front and back feet, these twenty people followed Kane's pace and left the stage.
In the long underground corridor, someone caught up with Kane.
"Mr. Shafiq, hello, I am Raphael Benzema from France, and I am a supporter of your views. What do you think we should do now?"
Kane turned his head and glanced at Benzema, and said: "There is only one specific one. Prepare for war and wait for the opportunity."
After speaking, he left quickly.
Not long after, another wizard approached Benzema: "How about it, have you let your breath out?"
Benzema shook his head: "No, Shafiq is very vigilant. He refuses to disclose more information."
"This is difficult. The most threatening person among wizards is this person. The Shafik family has extremely terrifying power. Once it breaks out, the damage caused will be immeasurable. His Excellency Bishop specially asked us to pay attention to this person. This time I am afraid It’s not easy to deal with.”
"I've tried my best." Benzema said: "Shafik also called the names on the spot at the meeting, there are spies. How can he talk about detailed plans?"
"But His Excellency the Bishop might not like to hear this kind of explanation."
Benzema shrugged: "I really tried my best. What about you? You came out so early? The meeting is over?"
"No, but those guys, there is nothing special to pay attention to. I chose to break with those guys while I still had some time. I suspect that Shafik also has many eyes and ears. He will know whoever chooses to fight today and who chooses to calm down. Yes. If he intends to form a wizarding force that dares to fight, he just joins in."...
At the same time, Dumbledore and a group of old people scolded Kane for being reckless in their hearts.
"War, it sounds nice, what kind of battle do you use? The wizard war has tested the actual combat prowess of the wizards. There are only a handful of people who really have the will and fighting power to fight. It can even be said that all those who can fight are on the side of the black wizard. And all Beyond the group level, they immediately lacked command and tacit understanding, and became a mob."
It must be said that what Dumbledore and the others were worried about were very real issues.
The only advantage of the wizards is their extraordinary power, which surpasses science and technology. Through technical crushing, you can directly play beheading tactics.
But the problem is that there are not only wizards in this world, but also the Holy See. The Holy See also has extraordinary means.
This means that the so-called decapitation tactics and charm control are very problematic in actual operation. If people get some charm hangers, hire some bodyguards from the Holy See, and then second the relevant security system, the beheading tactics will not work.
However, even if it succeeds in attacking middle and low-level personnel, the impact will be limited.
Others such as manpower, material resources, and resources, the wizards are absolutely at a disadvantage.
So how should this be played?
In fact, there is no need to compare resources and other comprehensive strength with mortals, not even the Holy See.
The Holy See has plenty of money, and the scope of searching for children with extraordinary potential is far wider and more powerful (rich) than wizards. The theory of witch hunters combined with practical training is also very sharp (and rich). There is also a large hoard of extraordinary materials (still have money).
What do wizards have? Take Hogwarts as an example. It is the highest institution in the British wizarding community. It implements boarding, but it is not a military school, not even a paramilitary school.
What's more, chanting a spell quickly may not be much faster than pulling a trigger. The Iron Armor Curse cannot withstand intensive shooting, and once it is hit, even if it can hold it, the kinetic energy of the bullet can also produce a hysteresis effect, so even experienced wizards can't deal with many soldiers in the front. If these soldiers are equipped with some resistance The magic pendant is even more troublesome.
There is another important point, that is, in the contemporary era, the proportion of pure-blood wizards and half-blood wizards in the wizarding world is getting smaller and smaller. The proportion of Mudbloods of Muggle origin continues to rise.
These are all wizards who grew up and lived in the mortal world, which is very different from those traditional wizards who have to set up special courses to study and understand Muggles.
These wizards are well adapted to life in the mortal world. It can be said that everything about the wizard, after fading the mystery, does not have too many bright spots. Coupled with the widespread discrimination against mudbloods in the wizarding world, these wizards have a considerable gap with traditional wizards. Not all mudbloods are willing to integrate into wizarding society.
Many Mudbloods are under the management of the Ministry of Magic. They do not use magic in front of mortals except under special circumstances, but they live in mortal society.
These wizards were bribed by the mortal rulers to betray the wizarding world, and they were even the eyes of the mortal rulers. This is actually the reason why many pureblood wizards despise and even hostile to Mudbloods.
As for the pure-blood wizard apprentices who despised mudbloods at Hogwarts, it can only be said that children often cannot be considered as adults. Their love and hatred are relatively simple and childish.
Because the adults in the family show contempt in their conversations, they despise it. They may not really know the deep meaning, or they may generalize it, thinking that it is really just the nobility and inferiority of blood.
Therefore, for various reasons, Dumbledore and the others believed that it was really impossible to fight, and a fight would expose the truth that the wizard group was weak, and it would be over.
As for Kane's arrogance and condescension, Dumbledore and the others did not admit it. After the Glenfernan Bridge incident, the disassembled nuclear bomb was sent to the British government, and the wizard representative issued a condemnation for it, and there were two objects of condemnation.
The first is the Holy See.
That's right, it is the Holy See, specifically the Orthodox sect.
The Holy See stands in the sun, and the gods it enshrines enjoy the worship of mortal humans. Its churches followed suit in various ways. Then, in turn, it also has the responsibility to protect the supernatural domain from intrusion.
From the small exorcist to the large descendant battle group, these are all to deal with threats from the extraordinary realm, just like the official police and army in the mortal world.
Threats in the supernatural realm include supernatural creatures dominated by dark creatures (vampires, werewolves, monsters, etc.), and special evil creatures (evil spirits, devils).
Against such a background, the nuclear warheads were replaced but kept in the dark. This is the failure of the Holy See. After all, they are the authentic bodies enshrined by the mortal world. What is it for?
The second is to condemn the mortal rulers. Developed nuclear bombs, babies dance with big knives, can you fucking play it? Is there something wrong this time?
In a word, before Dumbledore and the others were tough, they mainly wanted to push the blame.
The core meaning is: Although Voldemort is a wizard, he is also one of the dangerous extraordinary creatures, and he is the object that the Holy See should guard against.
Voldemort dropped a nuclear bomb on Glenfinan, first of all it was the official dereliction of duty of the Holy See and the mortal world. Fortunately, we are capable and successfully prevented a nuclear explosion. But there is no guarantee that Voldemort will only trouble us with all his heart, so we are here to warn you, be vigilant and find a way to solve the problem.
Dumbledore and the others thought there was nothing wrong with doing this. It even implied the meaning of 'the Holy See is not good, but we wizards are sharper'. Still waiting for the mortal ruler to flatter him.
After all, whether it is the opening of the gates of hell in Paris or the hunt for living corpses in the UK, they all demonstrate the abilities of wizards.
Of course, it's all the performance of Kane and his subordinates, but Kane is also a wizard.
On the other hand, the performance of the Holy See is mediocre, which confirms the rumors that its organization is bloated and increasingly unusable.
Dumbledore and the others also didn't expect that the mortal rulers, with the support of the people, would suddenly go out of their way, collude with the Holy See, put pressure on the wizards, and behave so resolutely.
In fact, Dumbledore and the others would all have misunderstood it. The mortal rulers are not putting pressure on them, but exploring the depth of Kane Shafik's water.
It is really Kane Shafik who has been too eye-catching in just a few years, especially since the King's Cross attack on September 1 last year.
The think tanks in the United Kingdom and the United States continue to calculate that according to the technologies announced by the Shafiq Group, after five years, it will become a behemoth (economy) unrivaled in the world.
This really touched a nerve among the mortal rulers.
Because Kane Shafik is an extraordinary person, there is basically nothing he can do about him. Moreover, Mortal's technology seems to be difficult to compete with the mixed technology of science and technology, and an overlord is on the road, and it is unstoppable.
This is what the mortal rulers don't want to see. They don't see, or they don't want to hear that the so-called gods are about to awaken and enslave human beings.
Even if it is true, hasn't this happened yet? There's no guarantee it will happen, right? But Shafiq's threat is real.
Because of the locomotive of Shafik, the wizards are rapidly plumping up economically, and there are more and more creations. This can be seen from the types and quantities of items sold by the Magic Eye Chamber of Commerce.
There are even rulers of the mortal world who intentionally buy in large quantities to test the production capacity of Shafik's magic industry.
And behind this test is the Holy See.
The Holy See is also panicking. We have so much inventory, which is originally an advantage, but now not only is it possible to be caught up, but there is also a tendency to be overtaken.
If wizards are armed enough with their creations, even mortals who love them, how can the Holy See gain a foothold?
As the rulers of the mortal world, what they pay attention to is balance. The rise of the wizards is too rapid, and they are watching the decline of the Holy See.
Originally thought that the Holy See would decline and the royal power would rise, but a new father came out, what should I do? If there is an opportunity, we must engage in it, and we must not let one side be too strong.
And the will of the people is an opportunity. It represents the willingness to give people, give money, and take harm. That is to say, if there is a real war and the wizards show their own advantages, lurking, maneuvering, and indiscriminately attacking and killing in the city, the people can bear this kind of loss to a considerable extent.
This is the importance of will. The official subtext is: You are the ones who are going to fight each other hard to the end, you are fighting to the death, then if something happens, you can't blame me for being too incompetent. This is the price to be paid for the complete defeat of evil.
When that step is really reached, the rulers of the mortal world feel that the group of wizards will probably collapse completely and be completely wiped out of this world, while the rest can only be integrated into the mortal world.
Moreover, the rulers are very confident in the science and technology of the mortal world, and from the various alliances with the Shafik family recently, they have seen the hope of magic technology.
Kane Shafik can engage in magic technology with magic as the main and science as the supplement, so why can't we develop science and magic hybrid technology with science as the main and magic as the supplement?
Why be controlled by others, why not take the power into your own hands.
As long as we have this technology, we can at least resist extraordinary damage, and then we can kill the Holy See with a quantitative advantage, and we need the so-called gods.
All to die. The whole world will eventually belong to mortals, not gods, gods, monsters, and a bunch of psychopaths (persons with extraordinary blood) who are actually obsolete just because they were born well.
