Chapter 556 You~ Can Always Come up with Something New for Me!

After reading for more than an hour, Ivan finally finished flipping through the two-finger-thick booklet, and his expression became extremely wonderful.

This "New Century Manifesto" is divided into three parts.

The first part is a summary and analysis of the content of his previous speech. Each sentence is split into a separate page, with at least a thousand words of annotations underneath.

Just looking at Ivan made me feel numb and embarrassed. Even the reading comprehension he had done in his previous life was not so exaggerated. It was similar to a magic version of the Bible or the Analects of Confucius.

The second part tells about his legendary experience in recent years.

However, the words and sentences in this part have a certain sense of deification, and they have even been changed to the point where Ivan cannot recognize the Ivan Hals who is born with great wisdom, great power, and will lead the wizards to create a new era. You are referring to yourself

too exaggerated

The last third part is based on his theory to explain the future changes in the magic world, which Ivan thinks is slightly normal.

The book also specifically states that if you want to liberate wizards' productivity, you need to first change those old ideas, free wizards from meaningless and boring work, and invest in more meaningful magic research.

"Gleason?!" Ivan turned to the last page and merged the "New Century Manifesto" with a snap, muttering to himself with a headache.

Are these people so capable of causing trouble?

He's already hiding in a safe house in Paris, but he's still not planning to let him go.

If possible, Ivan would like to drag the wizard named Grissom over to teach him a lesson, so that this guy will not have to think about new tricks all day long to claim credit.

Ivan was so angry that his teeth itched. After calming down, he looked at the book again, but for a moment he didn't know how to deal with it.

Putting aside those prejudices, Ivan had to admit that "Manifesto of the New Century" is indeed a book with progressive ideas, and it summarizes some of his ideas very well.

The content is simple, easy to understand and thought-provoking. It presents the shortcomings and dilemmas of today's magical world in front of readers like peeling off threads from a cocoon, and also proposes some practical solutions in the analysis and summary.

Even Ivan benefited a lot after reading it. From time to time, he would suddenly feel like "I thought so at the beginning, and I had such foresight."

As for the intentional or unintentional deifications in the second part of the legendary experience, Ivan thought about it carefully and understood the deep meaning.

Apparently, Gleeson thought he wanted to engage in personality cultism.

Ivan has read history books and certainly knows that under some extreme circumstances, publicity in this way can greatly improve the cohesion of a team in a short period of time and cultivate a group of fanatical and sincere subordinates.

But history also proves that personality worship is a double-edged sword. Almost all of the extreme examples that Ivan can think of have gone wrong!

The reason is simple. Followers usually fanatically believe that "God" is perfect and cannot make mistakes, which results in "God" having absolute authority. No one dares to deny the words of "God".

It is a pity that all those who are sublimated into gods and thus supported by everyone are still human beings after all.

It is impossible for an individual to never make mistakes and make absolutely correct decisions in everything!

Once a mistake occurs, the blind obedience of a large number of supporters can easily amplify the wrong behavior infinitely, and eventually become unmanageable.

Ivan reached out and took a piece of parchment from the side. He held the quill in his hand, but he hesitated for a long time and did not put it down.

According to his original idea, he should write a stern letter to scold Gleeson for his self-assertion, so that he would restrain himself and burn or seal the book.

Because according to Gleason's idea, if every wizard in Knockturn Alley is given a copy, he will definitely feel very uncomfortable in the future.

It is not a good thing to be deified by others. It means that you need to be careful in everything you say and do to maintain your own image.

When he first returned to Knockturn Alley, in order to suppress the dark wizards, Ivan deliberately pretended to be strong and ferocious. It took just a week for him to become unbearable, and he was forced to take refuge in this safe house.

If he keeps pretending for a few years or more than ten years, he will go crazy!

In addition, Ivan is a little worried that this "New Century Manifesto" exaggerates him to be too powerful. Once he loses control and accidentally joins the gang, it is likely to cause the collapse of his faith.

Those wizards who realize that they have been deceived may do something crazy.

This is why Ivan feels that this New Century Manifesto needs to be sealed. It is too easy to cause some trouble for himself.

It would be even worse if it accidentally gets spread on a large scale and attracts the attention of the Ministry of Magic.

According to the information he learned from multiple contacts with Fudge, the Minister of Magic is a solid conservative whose governing philosophy is mainly about maintaining stability. It is impossible for him to support such radical ideas. He may even resist them and trace the source. .

He will definitely be traced in the end, because the "Declaration of the New Century" was written with him as the center, and his name is clearly written on it.

Of course, considering his age and popularity in the wizarding world, publishing such a book that promotes radical reform and self-deification can only be regarded as extremely outrageous. If it is not illegal, Fudge can't do anything to him. At most, he will ban the dissemination of the book. .

But if it was revealed that he raised a large number of dark wizards in Knockturn Alley and trained day and night to conquer the wizard market, that would not necessarily be the case!

Fudge will never allow the wizarding world to have such an army of wizards that threatens the Ministry of Magic!

The Minister of Magic may even think that he is the next Voldemort, because this behavior of gathering people, promoting ideas, and cultivating personality is very similar to the various measures taken when Voldemort rose.

So if he doesn't get it right, Azkaban will be his final destination.

As for disbanding those wizard subordinates and taking the initiative to show favor to the Ministry of Magic to prove his harmlessness?

Ivan never thought about it, only a fool would do that!

In the original time and space, it has been proven many times how unreliable the Ministry of Magic is.

In these turbulent days when Voldemort is about to return and Dumbledore is on the verge of death, it would be great if Fudge could stabilize the situation without causing further chaos.

If he wanted to protect himself, he had only two options.

Either leave all your friends behind, leave the British magical world in despair, and find a place to hide. Either increase your own strength as much as possible, fight in groups if you can't win in a one-on-one fight, at least don't be treated as a soft persimmon by the resurrected Voldemort.

The third option of surrender does not exist. Ivan knows very well that Voldemort must have a deep memory of the two-bomb hatred. This is also the reason why he actively destroyed the Horcruxes.
