Chapter 938 Magic Exposure Level
Following the goblin, Ivan looked around. At the end of the stairs was a gorgeous arched spire, with bald eagle statues made of pure gold erected on both sides.
After a few people crossed the arch and entered the front hall, the view suddenly became wider.
It looks like a large square here, probably because it was built in the early 20th century. The headquarters of the Magical Congress of North America looks much more grand than the British Magical Headquarters, and the overall decorative style is somewhere between new and old. It has both the ancient flavor of the seventeenth century and the design concept of modern architecture.
The most eye-catching thing among them is the four huge clock-like roulette wheels suspended above the hall.
Ivan almost recognized it as a timer at first glance, but after a closer look, he discovered that it was unusual, because the dial of the clock did not display time scales, but different colors painted one by one. of squares.
Pierce saw that Ivan was very interested in the clock, so he took the initiative to explain. "This is a magical exposure level clock that can be used to monitor the outbreak of conflicts around the world."
When the hands of the clock point to the first green square, it means no threat, and then it gradually goes to low threat, medium threat, high threat, danger, unexplainable severe situation and the highest level of emergency...
Now, the hour hand has stopped between the yellow and orange squares, which means that the situation in the magic world is no longer optimistic and is on the verge of being exposed.
Not only that, as the golden ring in the dial rotates in circles, the hour hand is also moving at a very slow speed.
When the pointer reaches the last crimson square, it means that the existence of the wizard has been fully exposed, and conflicts and wars may break out at any time.
Ivan nodded and looked away from the huge clock. So the situation on the European continent was worse than he had expected. Those Aurors might not be able to stop the frequent vicious incidents, which would lead to The level of magic exposure continues to rise.
"Please come this way, gentlemen!" the elf attendant said loudly, leading Ivan and others into the conference room next to them.
At this time, there were only about ten minutes left before the official start of the meeting, and hundreds of seats in the conference room were already crowded with representatives from all walks of life.
Waves of noisy discussions continued to reach Ivan's ears. An African wizard next to him, wearing distinctive clothing and hanging a human bone on his chest, yelled at the witch next to him, speaking in unknown dialect. .
In addition, Ivan even saw elves and centaurs. These non-human intelligent creatures were all arranged in an area on the right, with only fifteen seats in total.
When Ivan was passing by, he heard one of the centaurs complaining that the station assigned to him by the Magical Congress was too small and it was difficult to even turn around.
The goblin led several people to the long semi-circular table at the front of the conference room before saying goodbye. Ivan followed Pierce and took a seat and glanced around. He found that there were five magic nameplates placed on the long table, representing North America, England, France, Tsarist Russia and the Asian Magical Association.
This is very similar to the Muggle political structure. At first Ivan thought it was just a coincidence, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that just because there are wizards in this world, a world-wide power must also have powerful magic. Strength will do.
While Ivan was deep in thought, a tall and thin strange wizard slowly walked onto the stage, and the noisy discussion in the conference room gradually stopped.
"That's Wilkinson, the president of the Magical Congress of North America." Pierce lowered his voice and explained to Ivan.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you are welcome to attend this World Wizards United Conference..." Wilkinson stood in front of the stage. With the blessing of the Loud Curse, his rich voice overwhelmed the last whispers and attracted everyone. attracted all the attention.
"Everyone must have heard of the purpose of holding this meeting in advance. Now there is a new round of crisis in the wizarding world. Gellert Grindelwald, who started the Wizarding War more than fifty years ago, has passed away seven years ago. He escaped from Nurmengard Prison a month ago. In recent months, he has attracted thousands of believers in the European wizarding world, and is planning to start a war between the Muggle and wizarding worlds..."
While explaining, Wilkinson waved his wand and pointed at the giant light curtain behind him. Scenes of illusory images were presented in front of everyone. They were all collected by the Magical Congress of North America from various places in the past few months. About Grinder All of Waugh’s materials and on-site photos of some conflict incidents, as well as restored memory scenes.
The final image was fixed on Grindelwald beating seventy elite French Aurors and arresting them all.
The wizard representatives in the audience were in an uproar after seeing the scenes. Although many of them knew about Grindelwald's escape from prison, they did not expect that this man could escape in just seven months. In a short period of time, the power has grown to such a huge extent.
Grindelwald's strength exceeded the imagination of many wizards. Before that, they simply couldn't believe that someone could be so powerful.
Amid the discussion, Ivan turned his head slightly and looked at the seat next to him. The French minister's face was frighteningly dark, and he probably regretted handing this memory to the MACNA.
"Silence...Silence!" Wilkinson waved his wand frequently, firing one after another magic beam into the sky. It took a while for the noisy conference room to quiet down again.
After clearing his throat, Wilkinson got down to business, suggesting that countries unite, share intelligence, and form a special response force to deal with this crisis and capture Grindelwald as soon as possible.
Ivan nodded secretly, feeling that this meeting would probably yield results soon.
The trouble caused by Grindelwald is by no means a matter of a certain region or country, but a crisis for the entire magical world. If you choose to ignore it or even stand by, it will inevitably lead to irreparable consequences...
Ivan believes that it is impossible for these wizard leaders not to understand such a simple truth.
However, the development of the matter was far from as smooth as Ivan imagined. When discussing the issue, the president of the Asian Magic Association was very embarrassed and said that this is a European matter and they are not willing to interfere too much. There are many people in Asia recently. Troubles need to be dealt with.
The minister of Tsarist Russia directly rejected the proposal to form a coalition force. He did not care at all about the threat posed by Grindelwald, and even sneered in a weird tone. "We all know what the French are best at. In fact, it doesn't surprise me that you sent so many elite Aurors but were defeated by Grindelwald..."
