The huge gathering of the Ministry of Magic, which brought together the top and most powerful people in the British wizarding world, was completely silent.
There are people like Old Barty and Director Foley who represent the old-school European pure-blood families, there are people like Lucius who are local pure-blood families that have flourished with the "Act of Secrecy", and there are ordinary pure-blood families like Fudge and Umbridge who are from grassroots backgrounds.
Among the blood families, there are pure-blood families like Lupin and Longbottom who specialize in certain fields, and there are mixed-blood wizards like Professor McGonagall who have no connection with pure-blood families...
There are tough racist wizards like Scrimgeour, there are moderate reformists like Dumbledore, there are too many...
However, everyone was shocked by Anton's remarks.
There has never been a wizard like Anton who didn't lure him with benefits, didn't persuade him with good words, and didn't threaten his life. He just said, I've decided and you have to cooperate.
Top wizards do have this qualification, but no one seems to have ever exercised such a right.
"No one said anything?"
"Okay, let me tell you more."
Anton looked around, chuckled, and walked slowly on the round platform surrounded by stone steps. He could always show off a posture of climbing to the top of the stage on the trial platform where others felt uncomfortable being judged.
"If you ask me, you know nothing!"
He seemed to have thought of something and sneered, "For example, when Professor Dumbledore destroyed the Azkaban prison island, many people secretly resented it. Why?"
Anton's eyes seemed to have light. Starting from Old Batty and the others, he looked at them one by one, and they all avoided looking at each other, not daring to look at each other.
"Because starting from the legendary Archmage Merlin, the land of the British Ministry of Magic has always been the center of the magical world. It is no longer Egypt, let alone the Mesopotamia earlier."
"After so many years, you seem to have become accustomed to the British Ministry of Magic's leading position in the wizarding world."
"Ha~"
"Am I right?"
"Since the establishment of the Ministry of Magic based on the Statute of Secrecy, the absorption of Sir Merlin, and the subjugation of magic schools, the British Ministry of Magic has been leading all these changes."
"Being the first to establish a force department like the Auror Office, creating a prison like Azkaban, being the first to establish a cooperation mechanism with Muggle officials, and even being the first to violate the "Secrecy Act" to help the Muggle country fight, too many
Too many first moves..."
Anton walked slowly on the round platform, "Awesome, so proud, so you don't take other countries into consideration, right? In addition to being a notorious and terrible prison, Azkaban is also the British Ministry of Magic.
How can we destroy a symbol that is different from other places?"
"Ha, of course the British magical society is different, right? Of the three major magic schools in Europe, Hogwarts only admits British students."
"Open your eyes and see the world, you idiots."
Anton's eyes were indifferent and his voice was calm, but it struck everyone's hearts like a magic spell.
Oh, that is indeed magic.
The Imperius Curse!
Dumbledore sat in the corner and raised his eyebrows. This little guy was really powerful. He thought that Anton's ability to use the Cruciatus Curse as a soul scalpel was the limit, but he didn't expect that Anton could use the Imperius Curse like this.
Gellert will definitely like this kind of speech magic.
It's silent, but it's actually been used to its full potential long ago.
Dumbledore could vaguely feel a thin and profound magic power, so thin that he could hardly feel it.
Anton's magic seems to have a rhythm of the curse category in ritual magic, and its function should be to arouse people's fear of things like the black magic creature "Boggart".
He could almost guess that many wizards present must have been reminded of the image of Anton performing magic in New York and killing Voldemort.
Hehe, that's really interesting.
Dumbledore observed Anton's magic with great interest. As for what Anton said, oh, how pitiful, Albus had already told everyone so earnestly over and over again.
is that useful?
These people's eyes have long been blinded by interests, and they cannot see or hear at all.
it's useless.
Dumbledore sighed feebly.
Anton was still talking, "Open your eyes and take a look. You fools who are immersed in the glory of the past, the whole world is quietly changing."
He raised his hand and pointed hard in a certain direction, "Magical Congress of the United States, due to historical reasons, they have a bad relationship with the European wizarding world, a bad relationship with the International Federation of Wizards, and a bad relationship with the Muggles in the United States.
Well, they even have large and small witch hunter organizations over there."
"Do you know what they did in such a difficult environment?"
"Since the day when the Magical Congress was established, people have been sent to Egypt and the Mesopotamia again and again to collect a large amount of wisdom that has been studied for thousands of years, and to collect all kinds of magical knowledge."
Anton's face was full of mockery, "You look at MACUSA the way nobles look at civilians or even tramps, but they look at you like urban wizards look at country wizards or even tribal wizards."
"And Africa, do you know what Wagadu Magic School is doing?"
Anton looked around and when no one spoke, he sneered again, "Oh, you should know. After all, they didn't hide it at all. Many newspapers were talking about it."
"They're studying the Animagus, you know? They're putting the Animagus in the regular curriculum for students, hoping that every student can master this skill."
(Official setting: In 2015, at the International Animagus Symposium, a delegation from Wagadu School, a group of fourteen-year-old children simultaneously demonstrated the Animagus, turning into an elephant and a cheetah.)
"Are werewolves strong? The African Animagus transformations are elephants and cheetahs. Do you really think there are only seven registered Animagus?"
"Oh, of course, you may think that Europe, or even the British wizarding society, is the magical world. Of course, you can't see other places."
“I don’t know how many African officials have registered truthfully.”
"No one of you pays attention at all!"
Anton walked leisurely and slowly on the round platform, looking up at the faces on the stone steps that almost represented the top people in the British wizarding world, "You don't think like the MACUSA."
In order to promote the progress of wizarding society and move towards a higher level of wizarding social structure, we don't even know how to face up to the power of Muggles, we are blind and arrogant."
"You also don't have the ability to actively carry forward the continuation of the magical world like the African magical society. The huge Ministry of Magic can't even master magic as simple as the Iron Armor Curse."
"Ancient, oh, if you want to say it, it's rotten!"
Anton looked up, but everyone felt like they were being looked down upon, "Now, I am going to hold the 'Top 100 Competition' for student wizards and wizards taught by folk schools from all over the world to come.
The UK is participating in the competition, but you actually refuse?"
"Do you feel that your interests have been challenged, do you feel that your authority has been challenged, do you feel that things are dangerous and troublesome?"
Anton is different from Dumbledore.
When talking about these, there is no sadness, only cold ridicule.
That kind of indifference mixed with healthy enthusiasm deeply hurt the hearts of many people.
“The Top 100 Tournament must be held!”
"If the British Ministry of Magic is unwilling to take on this matter, I can consider approaching the Magical Congress of the United States of America."
Anton smiled brightly, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not asking you for help, I'm giving you a chance. If you don't know how to seize it, if you don't know how to work hard, I have plenty of choices."
After finishing speaking, the corner of his mouth raised, "I think the direction of your debate at this time should be to discuss how to cooperate in holding the 'Top 100 Tournament' and how to avoid the challenges you just mentioned, rather than as a
