Harry Potter’s Book of Sin
Chapter 1473 The Sharpness in Maca's Eyes
In 1689, when the relationship between wizards and Muggles reached a freezing point, the "International Wizarding Federation Secrecy Act" was promulgated.
Although the regulations of the "Secrecy Act" were strongly opposed by various forces at the time, it was not until 3 years later that it was officially established in 1692 and enforced by the Ministry of Magic of various countries.However, it still took root in the magical world on a nearly global scale, and plunged deeply into the "soil" that was gradually depleted due to fighting.
But speaking of it, that was actually an era in which the wizard's magic had been repeatedly desolate and finally reached its lowest point.
I remember that since the beginning of the 15th century, the witches and wizards whose inheritance has become more and more serious have finally found it difficult to maintain the unique mystery of magic in the eyes of ordinary people who have made great progress in technology.
In addition, the shamans at that time were too reliant on potions and alchemy, which had problems with their success rate, because of their inadequate abilities in spells, so that they left many terrible impressions on ordinary people at that time.
Therefore, since that time, Muggles have gradually developed resistance to those witches and wizards who seem to be mysterious and terrifying, and with the help of the church at the time, they have become irresistible.
The Muggle's persecution of wizards has appeared since then.
Where there is a rumored wizard that is harmful to people, burned to death; where is there a wizard who brews poison and burned to death; where is there a wizard who pretends to be mysterious and deceived the common people, burned to death; where there are abnormal children, burned to death.
At first it might be somewhat organized, after all, the people who were executed at that time were basically black wizards with conclusive evidence.But gradually, in the midst of the church's fanfare and taking advantage of the emptiness, the Muggle people slowly lost themselves on this road of knowing good and evil.
Some of the wronged wizards tried to escape with magic, but many people were no longer able to resist their own bad luck because they had their wands taken away.
After all, Muggle people are naturally ordinary people, but not all priests in the church.
Some scholars in later generations said that there were also wizards in the church at that time, and they were still a group of people who retreated from the previous Druidism and found a different way.
Of course, by now, no one can explain this kind of mess.
In short, because Muggles are increasingly persecuting wizards, burning witches, and even those wizards and children who have magical talents because of their magical talents, as well as many problems such as miscarriage of punishments and framing of opponents of the Muggles.After nearly three centuries of mixed discussions, the "International Wizarding Federation Secrecy Law" was finally born.
By the way, according to the original yearbook of the British Ministry of Magic, the newly established British Ministry of Magic sent a special delegation of wizards to negotiate with the Muggle monarchs William III and Mary II of that era.
Unfortunately, the negotiations based on the Muggle Law's recognition and protection eventually broke down.
As a result, the wizards began to spontaneously open up new homes, moved into underground life, and semi-mandatory and semi-voluntarily resorted to various means to keep the secret that they "still exist".
The wizards who finally achieved a bit of aggrieved peace, with the efforts of the Ministry of Magic, finally established order gradually.And unknowingly, the settled wizards have time and space to study magic in depth, and the magic civilization that was once so nearly lost has actually recovered to a certain extent.
For example, Albus Dumbledore, who was born in the summer of 1881, was also one of the great wizards who made great contributions to the progress of modern magic society after the implementation of the "Secrecy Act".
However, there are many ambiguities in the magical knowledge that was then pieced together and reconstructed after a substantial loss.This is also the most fundamental reason why Maca secretly complained while looking at those textbooks when he first entered school.
But to be honest, just more than three hundred years have passed since the "Secrecy Act" was completed. The inherently complicated and obscure magic inheritance has made the progress of the wizarding society far less significant than that of the Muggle society.
To put it bluntly, the wizards of the magical world are not ready to reconnect with Muggles.
If it weren't for the re-emergence of the terrifying ancient-level black wizard, Helbo, whether it was a reconciliation or conflict between Muggle and wizard, it would be too early to say!
Yes, even Maca, who has already surpassed the modern wizarding society in the field of magic, once thought so.
"Mr. Akinbad, I know, you must be very embarrassed about this..."
Looking at the current president of the Federation, who was sweating profusely and half-opened as if his jaw had been dislocated, Maca also understood that this matter could not work by forcing the other party to agree.
That's right, as the president, he has more votes than other members on the conference table of the federation, but the decision on the motion depends on the number of votes.
When Dumbledore was the president, because of his personal charm, personal reputation, and usual social accumulation, and even some private transactions, almost no one would deny his proposal.
But even he, because "renwang" and "relationship" cannot be used indiscriminately, he rarely raises any controversial proposals suddenly.
In this way, let alone Akinbad, who is far from being compared with Dumbledore.
"So," Maca said to the other party, "I'm not here to ask you to finalize the matter directly-it's not that I underestimated you, but we all know that this is definitely not you alone. Saying'OK' is something that can really be done."
"Of course, of course... Thank you for understanding my situation."
After hearing Maca's words, Akinbad finally nodded slightly as if he was relieved.
"Seriously, Maca... As far as Mr. Dumbledore has helped and helped me in the past, your business can actually be said to be mine." He whispered, "Like this time, even here No matter how dangerous it is, some people in the Federation do not agree to send so many support wizards over, but I still resisted public opinion and brought people."
"But," as he was talking, he paused for a while, rather apologetically, "such a large-scale Muggle migration, even if it is only temporary, even if you and the British Muggle Prime Minister can try to negotiate and cooperate with each other. It’s also difficult to pass this kind of proposal over there..."
"For so many years, the "Secrecy Act" has always been the basic law enforced throughout Europe and even the global magic world. I think that the parliament would rather have you all British wizards withdraw from the British land than agree to this. This is a motion that will most likely lead to full contact between Muggles and wizards."
"Well, I know." Maca nodded, but a glimmer of sharpness flashed in his eyes, "It's just that the reason why they think so is because they don't understand how powerful the guy is!"
