Chapter 937: Magic Congress of North America
On the morning of November 18th, Ivan simply packed his luggage and left Hogwarts by the fireplace to the agreed place.
After arriving at the destination, Ivan did not see Pierce, but Percy, Dalis, and the Aurors who were in charge of the guard had already arrived.
"What about Minister Pierce? Why hasn't he come yet?" Ivan asked strangely.
Dawlish opened his mouth and wanted to reply, but Percy Weasley was the first to speak, speaking in an official tone. "Mr. Minister has very important confidential matters to deal with. This is not something you should know."
Ivan glanced at Percy Weasley, but didn't say much, just waited with everyone.
The Dawlish people were a little frightened, and they looked at Percy Weasley very unkind.
After about a minute or so, Ivan suddenly turned his head and looked to the right. With a light click, Pierce's figure appeared out of thin air.
"I'm sorry, I'm late, Lord Hals." Pierce strode forward, an apologetic expression on his face. "There is a more important thing that I need to pick up personally. I didn't expect it to be so troublesome, so I wasted some time..."
"Is it that thing?" Ivan asked with a thought, remembering the key that Conor had told him about.
"Um... yes!" Pierce said in a vague tone, glancing at Percy, Dawlish and others, without explaining on the spot.
Ivan nodded, although he was very curious, but seeing Pierce's cautious attitude, he didn't continue to ask, and it was better to wait for the two of them.
"Since it's all here and nothing else, let's go now." Ivan suggested.
Of course, Pierce had no opinion. He pressed the brim of his hat, and greeted the Dlex people to go forward together. They will go directly to New York, North America through a special door key this time...
Along the way, Ivan and Pierce chatted about the recent situation in the British magical world.
Although the British Isles are a paradise compared to the chaotic European continent, Grindelwald does not know whether he is in fear or busy with other things, and for a while, he will not infiltrate the British.
But even so during the investigation by the Ministry of Magic, Auror still discovered that some wizards were very interested in Grindelwald’s philosophy, but they weren’t considered followers of the other party and did not do anything illegal, Pierce. I am feeling a headache about how to deal with these people.
Is it to cut the grass and remove the roots and choke this point directly in the cradle, so as not to lead the way in the future, or to let it watch and wait for the other party to be arrested when there is a real problem.
The former is done once and for all, but it is too cruel, and the latter takes up a lot of manpower for nothing.
Ivan pondered for a while, and then suggested that Pierce could start with propaganda, such as letting people secretly pretend to be a saint, and deliberately causing something to make people and gods angry, so that the bewildered civilian wizards can naturally see Grindelwald. The true face of cruelty.
Can you still play like this? Pierce's eyes lit up, like a door to a new world. Ivan's shamelessness, oh no, is that his wisdom is beyond his imagination... always think of some useful crooked ideas.
"In troubled times, we should use heavy codes. Sometimes in order to achieve the purpose of justice, it is understandable to use some methods." Ivan shrugged and said, feeling a little bit in his heart.
Probably because of the small number of people, wizards are relatively simple compared to Muggles. This little trick cannot be more common in Muggle political struggles.
Even though Ivan doesn't like these tricks that are not on the table, sometimes the enemy will suffer a big loss if you don't use it!
Percy, not far behind, looked at Ivan, who was chatting with Pierce happily in front, and was jealous.
The other party is the most talented wizard in the history of England, with a boundless future, and naturally he can be appreciated by Minister Pierce. Percy has nothing to say.
But what makes him extremely dissatisfied is that Ivan does not seem to cherish the tolerance of Minister Pierce to him at all. On the contrary, he is somewhat pampered and arrogant, and even repeatedly refutes Minister Pierce’s views, which is awkward. Click this to hit the leader's face in public!
Percy keenly realized that this might be an opportunity for him, so he boldly inserted into the conversation, tried hard to protect Pierce's face, and finally successfully terminated the conversation between the two.
Pierce gave Percy a very annoyed look. He knew that one of Ivan’s friends was Ron Weasley, so he made an exception this time with the Weasley kid, but he didn’t want him to be like this. There is no eye power.
Fortunately, Ivan did not get angry because of this trivial matter, and Pierce didn’t want to ruin the good mood along the way because of a mental retardation. Then he didn’t get angry and drove Percy back, but in his heart he made a secret decision. After North America came back, he immediately found a reason to transfer this idiot to clean the toilet...
At this time, Percy was still complacent for his success in maintaining the minister's face, and was immersed in the joy of his upcoming promotion.
…
The Congressional Headquarters of the North American Ministry of Magic is located in the prosperous Woolworth Building in downtown New York. This magnificent building with a height of more than two hundred meters is not only for wizards, but also the office of many well-known Muggle companies.
When Ivan and his party arrived at the door, it happened to be the peak time for the Muggles to go to work. One by one, the social elites in suits and shoes and holding briefcases hurried in and out. They did not realize that they might be mixed up. Some wizards who can magic.
The Magic Congress of North America has opened up an independent space in this busy building. and setting the entrance in such a conspicuous place is quite creative.
Pierce stepped into the building first, tapped the magic wand hidden in his sleeve, and diverged from the surrounding Muggles, stepping into another deeper and broader space.
"Welcome to the North American Magic Headquarters!"
A shrill voice suddenly rang in the ears of several people, and Ivan looked down and found a fairy bowing and saluting under the stairs in front of him.
"Excuse me, are the two Ministers Pierce and Mr. Hals?" The goblin looked down at the list in his hand, confirmed and asked. After getting the affirmation of the two, his attitude became more respectful. "Please also come with me, gentlemen!"
Under the guidance of the goblin, Ivan and others stepped up the stairs into the hall.
The Minister of England visited in person. It is undoubtedly shabby that the North American Magic Congress only sent one goblin to receive it. However, considering that the other party needs to receive hundreds of guests, they are all leaders at the top level and have to be responsible for security work, even for all Aurors in North America. I might not be too busy to dispatch together...
