At about seven o'clock the next morning, Ryan and Hermione finally yawned and climbed out of bed. After sleeping for more than ten hours, they finally reversed the jet lag, simply packed up and headed to the hotel.
After finishing the buffet breakfast in the hotel restaurant, the two of them went to Songjiang Jiji again and took advantage of the Yunlu stop there to go to Lichang'an.
Different from the Tianchao Alchemist Academy located in the center of Li Chang'an, the headquarters of the Tianchao Alchemy Federation is located on a small highland in the northeast corner of Li Chang'an. After leaving Yunlu Station, the two people walked north along Danfeng Street for seven weeks.
Eight minutes later, they arrived at Danfeng Square, the largest square in Chang'an.
What attracts the most attention in the square are the six huge bronze figures standing on both sides of the square. Each of these bronze figures is about ten meters tall. As an alchemist master, Ryan can feel the presence of these bronze figures.
The human is not only a decoration, but also a powerful magic puppet. It has extremely powerful dual magic and physical combat capabilities.
These bronze figures have a history of more than 2,000 years, but they still look very spectacular now. They stand quietly on both sides of the square. No matter the changes in the outside world, they have always maintained their standing movements and guarded the place quietly through the vicissitudes of life.
"The First Emperor's 12 Bronze Figures? This should represent the heritage of a magical world that has been passed down for thousands of years." Ryan stopped and carefully looked at these national treasures that he had heard of even in his previous life for several minutes, until
Hermione began to urge him before he continued to move forward.
After passing through the Danfeng Gate, which was guarded by heavily armed Celestial Wizards, Ryan finally walked into the headquarters of the Alchemy Federation, which was surrounded by high red walls. Only when there were no high walls blocking his view, Ryan discovered that he was in contact with the British Ministry of Magic.
The underground buildings are different. The headquarters of the Alchemy Federation of the Celestial Dynasty is built in a whole complex of miniature oriental traditional classical style palaces. He can see buildings built around a small hill, and the tallest building has 9 rooms.
The palace should be the Hanyuan Hall, which is used as the meeting hall of the Alchemy Federation.
Of course, Ryan and the others did not need to go there to do business today, and the hall would only be opened during major events or meetings. They followed the directions of the road signs and bypassed the tall halls lined up on the central axis to the Hanyuan Hall.
In a small courtyard on the east side, when Ryan entered, he saw the words "Honglu Temple" written on the plaque.
"Honglu Temple? Why do we come to such a religious occasion?" Hermione asked curiously after seeing the words on the door plaque.
"Religious occasion? What religion?" This question confused Ryan, but he quickly understood and laughed. "Not all places with the word temple in China are religious occasions, especially for
As for the wizards of the Celestial Dynasty, they have inherited many ancient terms, such as Honglu Temple, which is equivalent to our International Magic Cooperation Department."
"That's right -" Hermione showed an embarrassed smile. She had previously learned Mandarin using the memory in Ryan's hand. Therefore, her mastery of this language was still not satisfactory in some aspects.
After walking into the gate of Honglu Temple, Ryan told the old alchemist in the reception room next to the gate the reason for his visit. The old man with a white beard comparable to Dumbledore checked the hard disk in front of him.
Behind the black leather notebook, he said, "Are you Mr. Liang and Miss Granger from the UK? We do have an appointment for you here. After entering the door in a while, turn left and go into the second room. Chief Li is already waiting for you there."
"Thank you." Ryan thanked the concierge of the Chinese Alchemy Association and then came to the place he just pointed out. As soon as he entered the door, he found that there was not only Chief Li in the room, but also several people who looked quite distinguished.
Alchemist. After Ryan handed over Dumbledore's autographed letter that he carried, a middle-aged man in a navy blue tunic took the letter and read it carefully from beginning to end, and then asked Ryan his own questions.
"Mr. Liang, from the information we have obtained, the current situation in the British wizarding community is very bad. So can you tell us your views on the current situation of the British wizarding community."
"Of course, but I feel that with my qualifications and knowledge, I may not be able to analyze it thoroughly. I can only make some simple judgments based on my personal experience." Ryan said to the old man wearing a navy blue tunic suit, his chest
The badge on his front shows that the old man's surname is Wang.
"That's enough. In fact, we need this kind of first-hand information from the British magical community now. Because of race and a series of other reasons, we have very few people in Europe, and a lot of information can only be obtained through other people's information.
It is obtained through narratives, and this information is basically second-hand information that has been distorted or deleted. This makes us do not have an accurate and complete understanding of the current situation of the British wizarding world." Another young man wearing a black tunic suit said next to him.
, his name tag told Ryan that he was Chief Li.
"In this case, I will just say it casually." Ryan looked at the officials of the Chinese Alchemy Federation sitting here and said. "I personally feel that the current situation in the British magic world is very bad, or in other words, it is now in a very bad state.
On the verge of war. And war would be a long, all-out war that could engulf the whole of Britain and even the whole of Europe."
Ryan didn't think that China couldn't even see this obvious trend, so he told the matter very simply. At the same time, he didn't forget to fight for the benefits for himself and Dumbledore. "Of course I think,
Although Voldemort's side now has a greater advantage, neither their proposed goals nor their war potential are as good as our principal Dumbledore's side, so I believe that the final winner of this war will be us."
"Speaking of war goals, we are really disgusted with the highly racially charged slogans put forward by your guy named Voldemort. Once they win, things will become very bad." said the middle-aged warlock surnamed Wang.
Seeing that, the other alchemists also nodded in support of his point of view. "But the problem now is that the war potential of Voldemort's side is not as small as you think."
"But those who side with Voldemort are all pure-blood wizards, and their number is not very large. Although there are some foreign Death Eaters now, I don't believe that there will be too many people who can be recruited by Voldemort." Ryan frowned.
Frowning, he had an unknown premonition.
"Unfortunately, the situation is not like this." Chief Li shook his head. "Have you ever thought about what if Voldemort had enough money to hire people? Because of the problems that occurred in Eastern and Southern Europe in the past few years, then
There are countless poor wizards around. I believe that as long as there is money, Voldemort can hire enough desperadoes."
"But they shouldn't have money!" Hermione, who was standing behind Ryan, said with some confusion, "I have investigated those pure-blood families before, and they do have a lot of wealth, but most of them are people with no money at all.
There is no way to give other people real estate, magic items or knowledge. There is not much gold that can be used to hire people."
"Theoretically, this is true, Miss Granger. This was true even 24 hours ago." Chief Li said. "But according to the intelligence we intercepted, Gringotts in the United States passed a secret decree last night.
, they allow British wizards to borrow and borrow from Droquan without restrictions in the United States, and at the same time, the wealth used as collateral still belongs to the borrower until the repayment date."
"What are the American wizards going to do?" Ryan frowned. He knew that due to the previous Rappaport Law, many American wizards were more inclined to support pure-blood wizards and opposed contact with people who did not know magic. So even if they
It's normal to lean towards Voldemort's side.
However, the promulgation of this law that clearly favors one side still caught Ryan by surprise, because it is very strange to bet on one side before the war breaks out, especially for a force as powerful as the MACUSA.
"I think the Americans may want to make this war more tragic." Director Li said, "For a long time, Britain has been the core of the European and even Western wizarding world, and even the American wizarding world has imitated it.
The British wizarding world took shape. However, after a long period of development, the American wizarding world has developed into a force as powerful as the British wizarding world. We believe that the American wizards hope that this war can completely destroy the British wizarding world so that they can
To replace the British wizarding community's place in the world."
"For that group of American wizards, if they succeed, they will become the true leaders of the Western wizarding world, and by the way, they can inherit the essence of the British wizarding community. Even if they fail, they can delay the development of the British wizarding community and gain a lot of wealth, so yesterday
It is inevitable that Gringotts America will pass this law." The alchemist surnamed Wang added.
"This is simply terrible." Ryan and Hermione looked at each other, and both saw an anxious look in each other's eyes. They must tell Principal Dumbledore the news and ask him to prepare in advance.
