Chapter 35: Avada in the Left Hand, RPG in the Right Hand!
As the country with the most guns in the world, the United States, with a population share of 4%, directly contributes 40% of the world's civilian guns.
Therefore, the proliferation of guns is an absolute chronic disease in the American Muggle world.
In the future, there will even be so-called shared guns. Just scan and you can rent a semi-automatic rifle. If the Amazon credit score is more than 700, you can also waive the deposit.
Whether it is free travel, zero-dollar shopping, or going to the bank to withdraw money... it is extremely convenient.
But in stark contrast to the Muggle world, the Magical Congress of the United States has extremely strict control over wands, which seems to have gone to another extreme.
Any wizard going to the United States must apply for a wand license. If you have a criminal record, it is impossible to apply successfully.
That year, when Newt escorted a thunderbird to New York, his application for a wand license failed. The reason is very simple. His file clearly states... that he was expelled from Hogwarts.
Newt, who had no license and illegally possessed dangerous magical creatures, also met the "warm-hearted" Tina in New York. He, who never failed, was captured by Tina...
Dual psychological and physical significance!
Not only foreign wizards, but also the American magic world will control wands from the beginning.
Minor wizards in other countries are prohibited from casting spells outside the school during holidays, but their wands will not be confiscated. At most, the Ministry of Magic will use tracers for monitoring.
The United States is even more straightforward, allowing students to leave their wands at school during holidays.
Even the first wand of the little wizard is not purchased by himself in the store, but will be distributed when he arrives at the Yin Fa Mo Ni School of Magic and Wizardry.
Of course, with the abolition of the "Rappaport Law", the rule that wands should be left in school has completely disappeared, but in comparison, it is still very strict.
Therefore, in the United States, where it is easier to get a gun than a wand, it is not a big problem for little wizards to carry guns to protect themselves...It can only be said that the old United States has its own national conditions.
Rolf didn't care too much. He played with the pistol for a while and prepared to listen to Margaret's advice and go to the wild with her one day to practice shooting.
These days, practicing magic and shooting together is the right way. If you want to be full of martial virtue, you have to hold Avada in your left hand and RPG in your right hand. This is the fighting form of modern wizards.
At this time, the pickup truck has entered the famous Broadway Avenue and stopped not far from a tall building.
After Rolf got out of the car, he looked at the Gothic-style...Woolworth Building.
The Woolworth Building was built in 1913. The main building has 30 floors, and a 30-story narrow tower is built on the main building... Before the Chrysler Building was completed, it was the tallest building in the world.
For wizards, the Woolworth Building is also quite famous because the Magical Congress of the United States is also located here.
Rolf was about to walk towards the building, but when he turned around, he found that Margaret had not moved. The girl took out a white note from her pocket and clipped it on the windshield wiper of the pickup truck.
"What is this?" the boy asked curiously.
"A No-Maj ticket." Margaret smiled and said, "There is a time limit for parking here. If you park too long, you will be fined by the No-Maj traffic police."
"Is it still possible?" Rolf said in surprise, "Isn't there a time on the ticket?"
"It's okay. There is magic on the ticket. The time will automatically change according to the date." Margaret said proudly:
"There is also a confusion spell I cast on it. When they get close, they will think they have been fined."
"..."
"Sister, I am smart!" Margaret raised her beautiful eyebrows and said, "I plan to mass produce and sell it to other wizards. Isn't it very interesting? ? "
Rolf really had to narrow his eyes and think seriously. He shook his head and said:
"It sounds promising, but after all, only a few wizards use cars, and the potential market is too small."
"Don't worry about this, my little Rolf."
Margaret stretched out her arms to hug Rolf's shoulders. She gently pinched the boy's tender face and smiled: "I only lack two thousand Zhuoguo start-up funds. You sponsor me some, and we will earn seven and three points for our sister and brother."
"..."
Unlike the UK, the magic currency used in the United States is Zhuoguo... Two Zhuoguo can be exchanged for one gold galleon.
Two thousand Zhuoguo is one thousand galleons. For Rolf now, it is not a large amount, but it is not a small amount that can be thrown away at will.
Margaret obviously did not intend to spend time to produce that thing. She just proposed a project and painted a big pie, trying to cheat investors' money!
Whoever believes her is a troll!
"You don't have money, even if you have money, I won't invest in you!" Rove refused ruthlessly: "I will report you for evading the ticket!"
"What do you know!" Margaret snorted:
"Wizards have a grudge against the American Muggle government, and the Purgers cooperate with them to hunt down wizards... Every time I pay a ticket, it may become a bullet shot by the Muggle army at wizards!"

"..." It makes sense, Rove was speechless.
The two of them were arguing and walking towards the Woolworth Building. There were guards standing at the door. One of them was wearing a cloak-style uniform, which looked out of place with Muggles.
When the wizard guard saw Margaret, although he was surprised by her Muggle police uniform, he immediately opened the door.
He knew this witch. After all, she was so beautiful that it was hard to forget her.
But it was the first time he saw a witch and a boy walking intimately together. It seemed that many single men in the Magic Congress would be uncomfortable and unable to sleep tonight.
The wizard guard looked at the boy in front of him and soon found that their wrists were handcuffed together... Hey, young people nowadays really know how to have fun.
Rolf and Margaret stepped into the revolving door and walked into the building.
What came into view was not the Woolworth lobby, but... the lobby of the Magic Congress of the United States.
This is a luxurious rectangular hall with 17 arched floor-to-ceiling glass windows on the west wall. The east wall is inlaid with 17 large glass mirrors made of 483 lenses.
Standing in the center of the hall, people can appreciate this luxuriously decorated congress hall from different angles through the mirror.
On the arched ceiling, there is also a huge oil painting of great artistic value, which describes the establishment of the Magic Congress and the first twelve Aurors.
In the center of the hall, there is also a huge turntable located high up, with many gears and disks, and the words engraved on the disk:
Magic Exposure Threat Level.
The pointer of the turntable pointed to "slight".
Behind the turntable hung a huge portrait of a white-haired old man who seemed to be older than Dumbledore, with age spots all over his face:
Anderson D. Fisher
The current president of the Magic Congress.
Anderson D. Fisher is the oldest president in the history of the Magic Congress of the United States.
He has run for president three times in the past half century, and only seized this last opportunity five years ago and was successfully elected president of the Congress at the age of ninety-five.
However, Anderson, who is now one hundred years old, is in very poor health and is suspected of having symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.
Many wizards doubt whether he can survive the last two years of his term.
Owls were flying and circling in the hall, a group of wizards were queuing at the front desk, and many staff were receiving them.
Margaret took Rove straight to the elevator, the elevator door opened, and a goblin waiter stood inside.
"Auror's office." Margaret said softly.
"Yes, Miss Kowalski." The goblin used a long stick with claws to poke the elevator button above his head.
The elevator rose smoothly and silently to the top floor. The elevator shaft began to narrow, and several thick pillars contracted into a solid vertical passage.
When the door opened, Rolf and Margaret walked out, along the corridor, and stopped in front of a door with a brass nameplate on it:
Auror Office!
