The convoy was escorted by white-robed wizards into a gate on the outer wall at the bottom of the castle.

After driving through a long corridor, it finally stopped at a huge indoor square.

"Link, we're here."

Sceffen's voice came from outside the carriage.

Link and Dumbledore looked at each other and got out of the car.

The accompanying Aurors had already formed a square team in a pre-rehearsed formation and stood on both sides of Link's carriage.

And on the outside, there were the white-robed wizards who had escorted them into the castle, and a witch who was also wearing a white robe, but was obviously more gorgeous and weirder.

She is not very old, she looks about 20 years old, and she looks pretty, except for that strange robe, she doesn't have too many accessories on her body.

The most important point is that her temperament is extremely cold.

Like the white-robed wizards who escorted them in, they didn't have the slightest expression.

It was as if they had no interest in the arrival of Link, the actual head of the Ministry of Magic of the country, and Dumbledore, the strongest white wizard of this century.

No, it's not just a lack of interest in the conventional sense.

Link chanted the mantra through the passively activated Legilimency, and he also smelled a hint of arrogance from them.

In other words, they simply looked down on Link and Dumbledore.

This discovery made Link frown.

He didn't understand. Are people from the International Federation of Wizards so pushy?

Just when Link was thinking this way, the witch not far away finally moved.

A gentle smile, as if tempered by long-term mechanized training, bloomed on her face, and she walked over while smiling:

"Professor Dumbledore and Minister Link Foley... oh, I forgot that the Ministry of Magic has been restructured, and now I should call you Commissioner Link Foley. But anyway, hello and welcome to the International The Federation of Wizards is also very grateful for your active cooperation in this international dispute with the Ministry of Magic and Magic."

While speaking, the witch bowed deeply to Link and Dumbledore.

Due to the special structure of the white robe, Link can even see the deep chest. It seems that the other party has no other clothes except the white robe.

no doubt.

Just like animals show their bellies to show friendliness and submission, the other party is also showing their kindness.

It's just that Link, who already sensed the other party's arrogance, still didn't show any good face, he didn't even nod his head to signal the nature.

On the contrary, Dumbledore looked very happy, nodding at the witch, the corners of his mouth almost reaching behind his ears.

"My name is Iyeta Jones. I am the deputy director of the Liaison Office of the Ministry of Magic of the International Federation of Wizards, and I am also the host of your meeting." Iyeta's attitude towards Link and Dumbledore is not good Caring, he still kept smiling and said, "This mediation meeting on international disputes between the Chinese Ministry of Magic and the French Ministry of Magic will be held this afternoon after both parties have arrived, and will last for about a week. And this meeting will also Determine the final ruling of the International Federation of Wizards on this international dispute.

Come on, Mr. Link Foley, Professor Dumbledore and your guards, please wait for a while in our specially prepared lounge before the meeting officially starts. "

After speaking, Iyeta turned sideways humbly and made a gesture of invitation.

Link, however, did not move.

Although the other party looked polite, the arrogance in his bones was even stronger.

It was like those European expatriates in the early days of North America facing the native Indians.

He pretended to be elegant, but in essence he dismissed these 'barbarians'.

The feeling made Link narrow his eyes.

He just looked around and said expressionlessly:

"The French Ministry of Magic, haven't you arrived yet?"

"Yes, Commissioner Link Foley."

"So what will you do if they still haven't arrived before the meeting?"

Link said lightly.

His words are not groundless.

In fact, being late is also a means in negotiations.

Especially in meetings where there is no hard constraint against being late.

But Yiyeta was obviously taken aback when he heard the words.

The mediation meeting held by the International Federation of Wizards this time is obviously the kind of meeting that does not impose hard constraints on the time of attendance.

In other words, the International Federation of Wizards never considered that someone would be late on such a matter.

After all, in principle, this meeting is good for both the Chinese Ministry of Magic and the French Ministry of Magic.

Peace is always the most precious thing.

So when faced with Link's question, Iyeta, who didn't get any relevant plans, seemed a little at a loss.

Of course, she can also say that the superiors make their own decisions.

If the French Ministry of Magic is indeed late, Link can appeal at the meeting by himself.

This is the skill of the front-line reception staff.

It's just... can she really say that?

Of course not!

Because at this moment, there is a powerful aura mixed with magic power pouring out from Link's body.

As the person who directly faced Link, Iyeta was under tremendous pressure.

This pressure has nothing to do with status, but a pure power gap.

Iyeta doesn't agree that Link, the actual controller of the Ministry of Magic, has a much higher status than her, but what she can't deny is that Link's absolute strength is not in the same dimension as hers at all.

This absolute oppression of strength brought absolute pressure.

Iyeta has a hunch that if she really throws the blame, then Link will definitely have a second hand to make her even more embarrassed.

Iyeta's mechanized smile finally couldn't be maintained.

Her body was trembling, and it took a while before she bit her lips and said:

"We didn't consider this matter carefully. I will immediately propose to the elders of the International Federation of Wizards who participated in this meeting to set up a hard and restrictive clause, and promise to give you a definite answer within half an hour. Before that, please temporarily We will be transferred to the waiting room first, I am very sorry."

At the end, Iyeta bowed deeply to Link again.

But it's different from last time.

This time Iyeta's salute didn't look elegant, it could even be said to be flustered.

"Oh, then you should hurry up."

Link sneered, and didn't go to Lieta again.

The other party's arrogance has been punctured by him, and he has recovered his proper attitude, which is enough.

Iyeta breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and quickly forced a smile, guiding Link and his party to board the magic elevator.

Not what Link expected.

The Ministry of Magic elevator in the International Confederation of Wizards is not as quaint as its castle might seem.

On the contrary, it is like an elevator equipped in a spaceship that Link has seen in sci-fi movies in his previous life. The interior is very sci-fi, and even has an LCD touch panel.

The most important thing is that the ride comfort is so good that Link didn't even notice that the elevator started, and the elevator door opened again.

But this time, the scene that appeared in front of Link and the others had already turned into a huge suite.

It seems to be located in some super high-rise building. Link can clearly see the outside scenery through the surrounding French windows. Unlike this modern architectural style and the previous sci-fi elevator that can directly reach this suite, The furniture and decoration in the suite are very simple.

Of course, this simplicity is not ancient.

It's the kind of well-dressed, exquisite simplicity.

But it can be seen from the almost spotless huge Persian carpet that covers most of the main rest area, as well as the Chinese ink paintings and porcelain hanging on the surrounding walls, this is not a casual job.

Iyeta took Link and others around the suite, and after introducing the infrastructure, he took the elevator and left in a hurry.

He looked a little embarrassed and impatient.

this is necessary.

Because from the beginning to the end, the pressure that Link put on her was never small.

Especially when they were in the elevator, the distance between the two of them became so close, and the pressure naturally increased exponentially as the distance narrowed.

Iyeta can last until now, in fact, it is enough to show that the opponent also has a certain strength.

And wait until Iyeta leaves.

The Aurors who followed Link also started further inspection of the suite.

They don't fully trust the International Federation of Wizards.

The organization that hangs over the heads of all the Ministry of Magic is sometimes not so kind.

Proper searches are necessary.

Link followed Dumbledore straight to the huge French windows.

Through the thick glass, staring at the scenery in front of you.

As Link previously expected, the huge castle where the headquarters of the International Federation of Wizards is located can indeed be called a small city.

What appeared in front of Link and Dumbledore at this moment were endless tall buildings and airships floating in the sky.

They stand scattered among the clouds, like empty islands, and are connected to each other by some thick chains and suspension bridges.

Link also found a dedicated park-like island full of plants.

And the huge, decked out area that looks like a seaside beach.

A large number of wizards in white robes are playing and frolicking among them. Although they are far away, they are all the size of ants in Link's eyes, but Link still feels like he can hear their laughter.

Of course, there are also dedicated business districts and theaters.

The airship floating in the sky is covered with various magic advertisements.

Link even found a giant humanoid magic projection a little further away.

The projection appears to be an advertisement for some clothing brand, and the model in the image is posing in an extremely weird outfit.

"Shocked? I had the same reaction as you when I first came here. This is the city of magic, a pure kingdom of wizards, and the headquarters of the International Federation of Wizards." Dumbledore stared at the scenery in front of him without turning his head. He said, "Actually, it's no wonder people look down on us. Compared with here, we are completely country people."

"It's really interesting." Link said without denying it, "Why don't you, Sceffen, introduce it to us. I think you, a local, should be able to introduce it more clearly."

Hearing that Dumbledore also nodded, he and Link turned to look at Sceffen who was waiting behind them.

Under the gaze of these two eyes, Sceffen seemed a little at a loss.

And Link continued:

"Is there something wrong with what I said? You and the previous Iyeta knew each other, and it can even be said that they have a close relationship, don't you?"

This is something that is easy to detect for Link and Dumbledore who have mastered Legilimency.

That Iyeta, the arrogance in her bones is so strong that it is almost eye-catching.

But only when he looked at Sceffen, that arrogance dissipated in an instant.

Instead, it was a weird, unspeakable complex emotion.

It is mixed with a little love, hatred, anger, and even hope.

The answer is self-evident that a young lady with arrogance etched in her bones can have such complex emotions.

"call--"

Gu Yu\u003c/span\u003e Sceffen let out a long sigh.

Seemingly realizing that any pretense is meaningless at this point, he simply raised his head and admitted:

"Yes, I did grow up in the castle of the International Federation of Wizards, or to put it another way, I am actually a member of the Harris family. And Iyeta is my former marriage partner. "

"Wow! I didn't expect, Sceffen, you are actually a nobleman!" Newland shouted into Sceffen's ear with some strange quotes, "So, your real name should be Sceffen. Finn Harris! Then, Master Harris, how honorable is your Harris family?"

Sceffen didn't speak, and stood there expressionless, like an emotionless robot.

But his slightly trembling facial muscles and clenched fists are still enough to show that at this moment, he really wants to punch Newland's face hard.

"The Harris family is one of the founders of the International Federation of Wizards. Their ancestors have lived in this castle for generations, and they have dedicated their lives to the International Federation of Wizards. Their status is quite high."

Dumbledore suddenly spoke and answered Newland's question.

"Oh, really?" Link asked with a smile, "How tall is it?"

Dumbledore also picked the corner of his eyes, and continued in a funny way:

"We will see, because if there is no accident, this mediation meeting should be hosted by the current patriarch of the Harris family, that is, old Harris."

"Wow--"

Hearing this, Newland let out a long exclamation on purpose again.

Sceffen looked at Dumbledore in astonishment, as if he didn't expect Dumbledore to cooperate with Newland to tease him.

But facing Sceffen's unbelievable gaze, Dumbledore just blinked playfully.

In this matter, the boss Geffen should actually thank Dumbledore.

Because Link had already conducted a detailed investigation into Sceffen's family background.

Although the Harris family was located in the International Federation of Wizards, Link didn't get enough detailed results from the investigation, but the general identity of the boss Geffen is still clear to Link.

It was precisely because it was confirmed that Sceffen's identity was not a major problem, so he could continue to stay in Link's inner circle after graduation, and even entered the Auror Command to take important positions.

So it is meaningless for Sceffen to conceal it at this time. Dumbledore's behavior actually helped Sceffen out of the siege.

It's just that at this moment, Sceffen obviously doesn't have that much thought to think about it.

Because Newland, who had reacted, was looking at him with a fiery gaze:

"That is to say, the person who presided over the meeting this time is your elder? Does that mean that we can walk for a while..."

"Don't even think about it!"

Sceffen interrupted Newland by raising his voice suddenly.

This surprised Newland, he patted Sceffen on the shoulder and said:

"Don't be stingy, Sceffen, we are the same team, we should use our family relationship when it's time to use it, a mudblood like me wants to use it! And I believe that you will help me this time If you're busy, Mr. Foley will definitely not treat you badly! Look at me, last time I caught a little spy, wouldn't that even raise my salary? Your contribution this time is far greater than mine!"

After saying that, he winked at Link, indicating that Link must not treat Sceffen badly.

This made Link a little dumbfounded.

When Sceffen heard the words, he shook off Newland's arm in distress, frowned and said:

"It's true that Harris Sr. was my father, but it's not a question of whether I want to or not. It's just that I simply can't do that."

"Why? And I don't help my son?"

"Because he is not only my father, but also the patriarch of the Harris family! And I am no longer a member of the Harris family! Do you think he, as a patriarch, will choose which one between the family and his son? ?”

This is a question that doesn't need an answer at all.

For the patriarch, especially the patriarch of a big family, the family is absolutely above all else.

Let alone sons, they even paid for it with their own lives.

This is an inherent concept in the magical family.

But what really puzzled Newland, Link and others was why Sceffen left the Harris family?

At this point Newland was particularly curious.

As a Muggle-born wizard who grew up at the bottom of society, he always dreamed of having a strong family to support his dream.

However, Sceffen naturally possessed all these things, but finally threw them away.

Si Gefen looked at the expressions of everyone, finally sighed, and said:

"Let me start from the beginning, just right, I can also introduce you to some of the headquarters of the International Federation of Wizards.

Since the 15th century, Muggle persecution of witches and wizards has been taking place across Europe. Prior to this, the relationship between wizards and Muggles was actually quite good. Wizards often used magic to help Muggles. The light ones helped treat the wounded, and the serious ones even directly helped some lords to fight. An example is the wizard Merlin.

But with the intensification of Muggle persecution of wizards, more and more wizards have been harmed.

Many of our current wizards may simply not understand why Muggles can cause harm to wizards.

Wizards are existences who have mastered magic, and Muggles are as vulnerable as ants in front of wizards.

But in fact, not all wizards are so good at magic.

Many low-level wizards have no power to fight against the wizard hunters who are armed to the teeth - the scavengers.

Not to mention those little wizards.

At that time, little wizards under the age of 11 were routinely kidnapped and burned, even if their parents were also wizards.

Faced with such tragic persecution, most wizards stopped helping Muggles and lived in isolation.

And while this situation continued until the 17th century, the International Federation of Wizards was formed.

They introduced and implemented the "International Confederation of Wizards Secrecy Act", and relying on this bill and the support of the public, they re-integrated the Ministry of Magic in various places to hide the wizarding world. The headquarters of the International Federation of Wizards where we are now is also Came into being.

Of course, at the beginning, the headquarters was just the headquarters, a purely administrative unit responsible for guiding the implementation of the "Secrecy Act" of the Ministry of Magic in various places.

In addition to the officials working here, there are only a small number of family members and followers of the officials living here.

But then, the nature of the headquarters changed.

As the proposer of the "Secrecy Act", the International Federation of Wizards' headquarters is naturally the best in terms of secrecy. You should have discovered this too.

The headquarters we're in is high above the Muggles and hovers randomly over the world.

Not only that, but the outer layer of the headquarters is also equipped with a large number of defensive devices, as well as various warning and life-sustaining spells such as Muggle expulsion spells and unmarkable spells.

This is enough to ensure that wizards living in it can carry out normal activities, and Muggles can't find it.

For wizards, this is paradise! "

Having said that, Scott paused, and turned his gaze to the tall buildings and airships outside the window, with a complicated expression.

Link's expression was rather weird.

Compared to the heaven mentioned by Sceffen, he felt that the so-called headquarters of the International Federation of Wizards was more like a super large space station that could move independently!

He really didn't expect that the wizard's technology had developed to the point where he could create such a sky city.

In a sense, it's all the Muggles' fault.

Fearing the persecution of Muggles, these wizards went to heaven.

This kind of sky city technology must not be developed in a short period of time, and the highest height it can reach at the beginning is definitely not too high.

But as the Muggles explored the sky step by step, the wizards also began to develop and perfect the technology related to the Sky City, increasing the speed, altitude and defense of the Sky City, in order to achieve a kind of chasing and fleeing. The technological race in China is, or rather, a weird balance.

So far, this balance has not been broken.

It is foreseeable that this balance and competition will continue.

Then the problem comes.

There is an upper limit to the height of the earth's sky, or the atmosphere.

When the wizards here are chased by the Muggles and cannot retreat, will they be shocked suddenly, and the technology will explode directly, turning the current sky city into a space carrier, and fleeing to the universe?

Link felt that this was quite possible.

After all, the potential of a race bursting out in a crisis is quite terrifying.

However, this is also a little too outrageous!

The more Link thought about it, the weirder his expression became.

"The heavenly headquarters of the International Federation of Wizards has naturally become the dream habitat of all wizards."

Sceffen continued with a feeling of incomparable emotion, "Almost every wizard who knows the existence of this place is eager to move here. Faced with this strong demand, the International Federation of Wizards has also responded.

They expanded the living space of the headquarters and absorbed the first batch of immigrants, and then, naturally, they continued to expand and absorb...

The wizards obtained a safe environment at the headquarters of the International Federation of Wizards, and magic brought them super productivity. After the crisis was gone, the wizards naturally began to reproduce crazily, and produced not only the necessities of survival other needs.

For example, entertainment.

Another example is a more comfortable living environment.

Even, culture.

So after hundreds of years of development, the headquarters of the International Federation of Wizards has developed from the original small flying castle to what we see before us.

Alchemy technology is highly developed, and it can be displayed in front of people without any scruples.

Related industries, including various cultures, are also extremely prosperous. "

"So, what does this have to do with your leaving the family?"

Seeing that Sceffen stopped again, Newland frowned and asked.

"It was you who asked me to explain the headquarters of the International Federation of Wizards, and this is also related to my leaving the family." Sceffen shook his head and continued, "The highly cohesive population and the appropriate sense of crisis have brought about technical The explosion of technology, and the explosion of technology has pushed the productivity of wizards far beyond Muggles to a new level. The combination of the two will give the controllers of the International Federation of Wizards, that is, Harris as the leader. Representing the various wizarding families, brings great power!

Harris, and the rest of the families living here, they uphold the belief that kindness and justice.

It is precisely because of this belief that they will gather together and overcome all difficulties, creating the International Federation of Wizards and the "Secrecy Law" in the cracks, so that wizards can continue to develop in a relatively safe environment.

However, after a long time of scrubbing, this kindness, this belief, has been eroded by great power.

Now these families have completely lost the character of their ancestors.

What supports them to continue to govern the International Federation of Wizards is the desire for power and interests.

The merits and kindness of the ancestors have become a banner, which they wrap around their bodies to cover up their ugly figures, and to continue to deceive and oppress the wizards in the city.

That's not the kindness I'm looking for.

So, I'm out of here. "

As Sceffen finished speaking, the entire rest suite fell into silence.

Link, Dumbledore, and Newland looked at each other with extremely complicated expressions.

Sceffen's ideas are great and pure, and this thought and awareness alone are worthy of admiration.

For such people, they cannot be insulted and ridiculed because their actions are unreasonable, because in a sense, they are walking on the road of becoming 'heroes'.

And most people don't even have the courage to embark on this path.

But Link, Dumbledore, and Newland also didn't want to encourage them.

Because the road to becoming a "hero" is doomed to be tragic and tragic.

As a friend, as a teacher, as a leader, Link and others actually prefer to see Si Gefen live happily as an ordinary person, rather than as a 'hero', turning into a comet, burning his life to serve The night brings light.

Therefore, silence became the only response.

But in this silence, a voice suddenly sounded.
