At midnight, at Merlin's residence, the children were already asleep. In the dark perception, Merlin could feel the children's breathing calmly. There were only him and the two American Aurors in front of him, and the orange cat Gugu was awake.

Oh, no, there is one more.

The little cat picked up by Gugu was lying on the edge of the cat's nest, looking into the direction of the balcony.

I don't know why it is still so energetic.

"Merlin, we know your style very well, and we believe that you are not a person who kills innocent people."

The slightly fat Auror put his finger on the table, and he bent down and said in a persuasive tone:

"Let Umbridge come out, I know she's annoying, and I hope she's going to fall apart, but she can't die here."

He said to Merlin with a serious expression:

"The colleagues in the British Ministry of Magic have always been proud, and they have obviously had some internal problems now. If you kill her, it means you will have trouble, your relatives, friends, and even your organization will be implicated."

"It may even trigger hostility and war between Muggles and Wizards again. Many people will be caught in, and even bleeding and death, and you don't want to see the consequences, right?"

"oh?"

Merlin blinked, and he looked at the gentle Auror Essinus in front of him, and after a few seconds he said:

"It sounds like you know me very well."

“I know very well.”

Esinus glanced at the crow, who nodded slightly, so the fat Auror lowered his voice and said to Merlin:

"We have been observing you for a long time. This observation time is beyond your imagination."

"In the secret archives of the Demon France Society, you were included in the observation list 6 years ago. As far as I know, your archives are managed by the current Speaker Samuel, the Demon France Society, in person."

The news revealed by Auror made Merlin frown.

He thought for a moment, and then said to the two wizards in front of him:

"If the facts are as you said, and you knew my existence a long time ago, why didn't you come forward? In the eyes of orthodox wizards, I should be considered an instability factor and should be monitored. But I really didn't feel that your existence was not even a trace of clues. This made me doubt the authenticity of what you said."

"Don't worry about this."

Esinus made a pause gesture, and he explained:

"We are different from the British Ministry of Magic's style of controlling everything. We prefer to maintain the order of peaceful coexistence between the North American wizarding world and the Muggle world. Compared with our fellow countrymen who live alone in Europe, American wizards are more free. They live in the Muggle world. We do not adhere to the theory of the ancient and ignorant bloodline that inherits the ancient and ignorant bloodline."

This Auror said frankly:

"In fact, I live in Brooklyn and run a bookstore. The Crow lives a little further apart. Don't look at his indifferent face, he is actually an avid rock lover."

Esinus paused, he looked at Merlin again, and he said:

"I want to say that Merlin, our style is different from that in the UK. We didn't sit back and see you fend for yourself, but after the organization of the Muggle World began to look for you, the Magic Council was hidden behind the scenes, and ordinary people shouldn't know about our existence."

"More importantly, you have the power in you that we don't understand."

The taller and thinner Auror crow also said in a short tone:

"The great wizards have not yet made a conclusion about how you escape the pursuit of the great demons. It is also risky for us to contact you rashly."

"This is also why you are not in trouble with the Magic France, no matter whether you use magic in front of the Muggle agents or make door keys privately."

The fat Auror shrugged:

"Trust me, Merlin, we are kind enough to you."

"But I can't hand over that old witch to you like this."

Merlin's tone also softened. He looked willing to cooperate. He said to the Aurors in front of him:

"The Muggle world has its own order, and I am in a strict system. If you want to take away a mad wizard who disdains the lives of ordinary people, you have to give the organization behind me a reasonable reason."

He stretched out his finger and shook it in front of the Aurors, he said:

"Send a representative to contact SHIELD and this matter can be easily resolved."

The two Aurors did not answer, and they communicated with their eyes or in some methods that Merlin could not detect.

A minute later, the crow stood up, and the tall and thin Auror walked aside with a weird thing, as if in contact with the rear.

Essinus picked up the wine glass and poured himself some wine. He said to Merlin:

"It was your boss who asked you to do this, right? As far as I know now, Mr. Nick Fury, has been trying to get in touch with the wizarding world in recent months. You are not his first attempt, the disgusting second-rate wizard Constantine has tried many times."

The Auror reached out and took off his hat, revealing his slightly sparse head, and he whispered:

"I really don't understand why he has to pursue secrets that he shouldn't know so persistently."

"Because he felt the threat, he urgently needed help, my friend."

Merlin explained:

"In the past few months, the sudden threat of war from the Kerry scared many people. The civilians let go of their worries after learning of the victory, but the top leaders had to think more. I believe you also know how lucky the victory of that war was."

"Whenever a disaster occurs, there are always people who think that I should stand up and Fury is that kind of person."

Merlin sighed, and he picked up the wine glass, and after taking a sip of the wine, he said:

"He will learn from the war and then prepare in advance for the next war. The wizarding world, you, including me, are a very important part of all the preparations he has made."

"He needs help, I understand."

Fat wizard Esinus shrugged, saying:

"But he wants to be a bridge of communication between Muggles and the wizards. I'm not very optimistic about this idea, and it's hard to do."

"You are also a wizard. You know, we are essentially a group of people who protect secrets, very similar to you Muggle agents. You will not easily believe a stranger with a purpose. How can you ask the wizards who are already separated from Muggle to happily accept the invitation from S.H.E.L.D?"

"It has nothing to do with us."

Merlin waved his hand and said helplessly:

"Fry is a very stubborn person, and I can't refuse his request. I believe she will find a way to deal with all this. This is a matter between my boss and your boss. We can't get involved, and we shouldn't interfere."

"Speaking of this, I'm even more curious about another thing."

Merlin held the wine glass at his hand, and he picked up the Gugu at his feet and put it in his arms. While helping Gugu shine, he looked at Esinus, and said:

"Do you know that the British Ministry of Magic sent someone to New York to cause trouble?"

"certainly."

Esinus nodded, and the slightly fat Auror said a little resentful:

"They entered North America through normal diplomatic channels, using the Floor Network of the headquarters of the Magic France Society. But they concealed their mission, and they just said that it was common to capture a dark wizard who ran away from Europe in New York.

Esinus explained:

"The Muggles have developed this country very prosperously, but the stronger the light, the more worrying the shadow it reflects. The situation in the North American wizarding world is almost the most complex in the world, and the evil that has disappeared from other continents is still passed down in the shadow of this continent."

"Vodoo in the Mediterranean, Vodoo in North Africa and South America, Indian faith in North America, various evil god groups, and demons who always want to smuggle out of hell, some despicable black wizards you can find almost all the magical cancers in the world here."

Fat Auror said in a nearly desperate tone:

"What we deal with every day is all these bad things. You may not know that the Auror sacrifice rate in North America is the highest in the entire wizarding world."

"Sacrifice has almost become our tradition, but worse, the warriors who stick to justice and the evil forces are passed down together. From the founding of the Demon France Society to the present, there is almost no hope of real ending in our struggles with those darkness."

"Merlin, we actually see what S.H.I.E.L.D. did in New York."

Esinus picked up the wine glass and said meaningfully:

"You and your group, and the disgusting Constantine's activities in recent months, to be honest, have made me and the Crow feel the long-lost ease. Your boss tried to be a bridge between the Muggles and the wizards, but he seemed to ignore that you are actually the best neutral bridge for both sides."

"Okay, I'm a little far."

The fat wizard looked back at his colleague who was contacting the headquarters. He turned his head and threw a cigarette to Merlin, and turned the topic back to the British Ministry of Magic:

"Anyway, it was normal for Umbridge to enter North America with four Aurors. No one suspected her at that time. After all, she was a big shot, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Magic, and was level 3 higher than me and the Crow."

"The Great Wizard Samuel doesn't speak, and we don't even have the right to check what they carry with them. There is a word in Muggle that is suitable for describing such a scene. What's the name? Oh, yes, diplomatic immunity, do you know?"

"Um."

Merlin nodded, Esinus lit the cigarette, and while he was breathing mist, he continued:

"No one could have thought that this woman was so crazy that she dared to come with five dementors. In fact, it wasn't until this afternoon when your children were attacked at St. Matthew's Church that we realized that Umbridge might be really crazy."

"We had already mobilized a team of 12 senior Aurors to be arrested, but the operation was stopped by the Great Wizard Samuel, the Speaker of our Demon French Society."

Esinus blinked at Merlin and said:

"His Speaker is sure that you and your organization have the ability to solve problems, so we did not join the battle, but were sent to finish the battle."

"Um."

Merlin nodded, he was sure that the fat, gentle but actually shrewd Auror concealed something.

But this explanation should be basically true.

In other words, the old witch Umbridge would rather risk offending the Demon French Society than bring Harry and the young wizards back to England, which also caused Merlin to have new questions.

"She can be the deputy minister of the Ministry of Magic, which means that this woman is definitely not a pure madman. So I'm curious, what exactly caused her to do such a crazy thing?"

Merlin asked in a low voice:
