Chapter 1371 ? Decay
"Alan told me that he felt that there is only one floating city floating in the air alone in the world, which is a bit lonely." Owen's gaze slowly swept across the faces of these wizards, "So I would like to ask everyone for their opinions. Do you also want to arrange for a region to rise in the air? If my son serves as the president of the Wizarding Union, then he is willing to take on this responsibility and regularly spare time to assist some countries to complete it, so that our entire magic The world has enjoyed this qualitative leap and progress."
Owen's words seemed to drop a depth bomb, which caused an uproar, making the originally quiet restaurant no longer quiet.
This condition was completely beyond the expectations of these wizards: the floating city is unique in the world, but Britain can even be said to be a unique technology of the Harris family. And the recent production of the Floating Void City has proved that the UK can completely rely on this technology to monopolize various industries.
This is also the main reason why the UK is hostile by other countries, and now there is no sign, after the counterattacks and sanctions by other countries have been supported by the UK and basically exist in name only, they are actually willing to assist other countries in the construction of floating cities.
Compared with the huge benefits of floating city technology, the position of the president of the International Federation of Wizards is not worth mentioning at all, and it is even said that this is what it should be.
Some wizards couldn't wait to finalize the agreement with Owen, and even stood up excitedly, thinking that this "selfless" minister was being stupid, and wanted to sign the agreement with the hot iron for fear that the other party would regret it, which also made some calmer ministers He also couldn't calmly join in, making the banquet even more chaotic.
"Please rest assured that this is not my own whimsy, it is the result of the UK's deliberation. Of course, the cost of production and some rare materials must be borne by the applicant country." Owen said half-jokingly, and then his face turned serious, "Our only additional condition Yes... my son Alan has limited time and energy, and it is already the limit to assist you in using the energy core and helping you complete the initial work of ascension by relying on your mighty power...so..."
"We will provide Mr. Alan Harris with a generous reward!" Russian Councilor Pokov looked up at Irving as if he had taken a stimulant. Her thick fist made the table slap, "Minister Harris, whether it's materials or gold gallons, these have never been a problem for us in Russia! We will become Britain's most reliable ally!"
"Uh, I believe that the raw materials of the Russian magic world, which has a large area of land, are rich, but please calm down and listen to me. I think Congressman Pokov should know that my son is also a master alchemist who owns the Philosopher's Stone. So gold is actually not lacking for us..." Owen waved his hand at the Russian witch, "Actually, this itself has something to do with nuclear energy. Since my son can't come to help you maintain it at any time, the applicant country needs to build a Raven The temple of Goddess Claw, the energy core will be prevented from becoming the central store of this floating city, and although Ms. Rowena Ravenclaw is not there, it is convenient for her to use her divine power to help maintain this temple in her own temple. A power core... The service fee she charges is just a little bit of faith provided to her by the local wizards."
As soon as this condition came out, the surrounding area just paused for a while—the vast majority of wizards in the country have no faith,
It's more like shouting some Merlin's beards as a respect for some special existence. Only a few countries with a tradition of worshiping gods began to hesitate and weigh.
Owen didn't give them much time to react, and in a slightly more arrogant tone than before, he said some news that was not so good for other countries.
"Everyone, let's put our ugly words in the open. What needs to be explained is that because my son will not live in other floating cities for a long time, the influence range of a power core will only have a radius of one mile..." In the room Now only Owen’s voice can be heard, he paused, picked up his wine glass to moisten his throat, and continued in the somewhat arrogant tone unique to the British, “Currently our Hogwarts Floating City itself is not fully populated. Before the next round of expansion, it is reasonable and sufficient for us as the provider of the UK to maintain a floating city within a mile range of other cooperative countries. In addition, in terms of application objects, due to Allen's experience is limited, and this kind of product is too expensive and complicated to consume a lot of time, so we in the UK will independently think about permitting and sorting arrangements..." Owen smiled confidently, "Finally, I will I have to remind everyone that we will not oppose or prevent your Reticent Man or any other wizards from approaching and studying the Mither energy core... But just like the energy core in the floating city of Hogwarts, no matter how serious or serious, everything that touches the Mither energy core The behavior of the nuclear will make those who touch it fly into ashes and annihilate, this kind of damage is inevitable and irreversible...so we will not be responsible for any loss of life..."
Others present didn't care about what Owen said.
In fact, for a country that has already sent many wizards to find out, whether it is openly or secretly, even after paying a lot of lives, the most they can get is nothing more than being killed by their own silent people. It is confirmed that this is an artifact directly connected to the original magic power, and there is nothing to gain.
After that, they also tried to use various methods to force the United Kingdom, all of which ended in failure. After that, these countries basically gave up the idea of owning this kind of artifact, and now they heard what Owen said, and they also understood that it was not Harris. Hot-headed, this kind of knowledge that seems impossible to be mastered by other wizards is like the Floo powder invented by Ignatia Will Smith. Except for qualified manufacturers, almost no self-research and imitation success possible.
And this is really where Harris' confidence and confidence lie.
"The conditions we asked for are actually complementary to the conditions we gave. In the final analysis, they are all for the common prosperity of the magic world..." Owen took a sip of his wine slowly and added, "With energy cores in the floating city We can build stable permanent portals that are farther away than Floo powder and apparition, and more convenient than door keys, and Guojian will use these to form our new trade network...My friends who know magic, If you understand the situation of some Muggles, then in Allen's words, this will be a renaissance in the wizarding world, and it can even be said to be our industrial revolution..."
"Minister Harris, India is willing to carry out in-depth cooperation with the United Kingdom, and we can reach consensus in all aspects." High Priest Kusrapari leaned forward to communicate with Owen, his turban was tilted with excitement, and he seemed to have completely thought about it. Knowing that he has made a decision, he has completely disregarded the religious issues of himself and his own people, "The temple of Ravenclaw can be the most central building in the floating city, and the teachings of the goddess Ravenclaw should be Promote."
Karkaroff's goatee trembled, and he knew very well that based on his usual position and his friendly relationship with Harris, the floating of his school was basically not a problem. Mrs. Maxim and the principals of some magic schools couldn't hold back their smiles—their country would undoubtedly choose these magic schools as the core of the floating city to fly into the sky.
Now the atmosphere of the banquet is different from the previous one full of hidden hostility and insinuation towards Britain. Seeing the friendly and flattering expressions on the faces of those people, Owen leaned himself back on the chair, with the corners of his mouth upturned to show a satisfied smile , fingers brushed against the chin
Now only the female minister Binoche of France is feeling a little lost and worried about gains and losses. She raised one long leg, rested her hand on her cheek, pursed her lips, and frowned her beautiful eyebrows: Owen first explained to all countries that Britain will The great benefits provided, and then emphasized that this benefit is not so easy to get, and finally drew a big pie for everyone so that people can see the key benefits.
The British Ministry of Magic has successfully used the benefits brought by its own technological advantages to mobilize and control the emotions of others. Now no one pays attention to whether Allen will serve as the president of the International Federation of Wizards—now The atmosphere in the country shows that no matter which country understands, it must maintain a close relationship with the United Kingdom if it wants to have this kind of treatment. And for the floating city, every country will want to curry favor with Britain...
Originally, Britain was isolated by all the magical countries in the world, and only a few countries like France could support them on the ground. But now after this incident, the small country has already been wooed by the UK economically, and the big country has to rely on the UK in order to own the floating city and maintain it in the later stage-then the isolated situation that the UK was in before will be reversed Now, those countries that are completely opposed to Britain will probably begin to decline in the battle for hegemony in the wizarding world.
For the United Kingdom, France's political role and importance have become seemingly dispensable.
