Chapter 818 International Wizarding Secrecy Law

Dumbledore's words were like a sharp sword, shattering Ivan's shallow understanding of the magical world and allowing him to re-examine the contradiction between wizards and Muggles.

But the more he thought about it, the more confused Ivan became because he couldn't think of how to solve this problem.

After all, wizards are not united, but are scattered all over the world, each with their own ideas, and even the most basic decisions cannot be unified.

Even if he can achieve certain results in England in the future, it will be of no avail. The trust he has worked so hard to build may be completely destroyed by rioting wizards somewhere.

This is only the trouble caused by wizards. In comparison, the more troublesome thing is the thoughts of Muggles.

As an ordinary person, if he suddenly learns that wizards exist in this world, they can use all kinds of magical magic, and can easily manipulate themselves into applause, what kind of thoughts will they have?

Envy, jealousy, fear, hostility?

What do those in power think? Will they regard the power of wizards as a threat, be afraid of them, and even regard suppressing wizards as a means to please voters?

Thinking of this, Ivan's brows couldn't help but frown, and he already had a vague answer in his heart.

Differences caused by different races, religions, genders, nationalities, and countries can even cause people to discriminate against each other, speak ill of each other, and even trigger wars, not to mention the essential differences between wizards and Muggles...

Being born with a talent for magic is certainly an advantage, but this advantage can easily turn into arrogance and eventually lead to the theory of superiority of blood.

No, it should be said that similar ideas have been accepted by many wizards. Even pure-blood wizards like Weasley who are close to ordinary people will unconsciously show their superiority as wizards when mentioning Muggles.

If the number of wizards can increase a hundred times, then Ivan has no doubt that Muggles in the world will only be ruled, and the so-called equality of everyone will become a joke.

But it is a pity that wizards are only a minority after all. The number of Muggles is at least tens of thousands of times that of wizards. They are the real masters of this world!

At the same time, the Muggles, who are outnumbered, cannot tolerate the threat posed to them by wizards as a minority group...

This sense of fragmentation may be the root cause of the outbreak of war!

"That's why the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy is needed..." Ivan murmured to himself.

He had always believed that the existence of the Secrecy Law had largely caused the magical world to lack communication with the outside world and remain complacent. Now it seems that this law has more advantages than disadvantages.

Because it separates the worlds of Muggles and wizards and eliminates the possibility of large-scale conflicts, it is no wonder that this law has been unanimously recognized by the wizarding circles of various countries and continues to this day.

"It seems that you have understood that the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy protects both Muggles and wizards... This is the key to their peaceful coexistence with us!" Dumbledore said solemnly.

Ivan nodded. His previous thoughts were indeed not comprehensive enough. He thought about the problem too simply and ignored many important things.

Of course, this does not mean that Ivan agrees to continue to implement the secrecy law. After all, wizards cannot hide their existence forever... It is better to try to ease the conflict step by step from now on than to be suddenly discovered in the future.

At least the wizard still has the initiative now!

Ivan expressed his ideas in a tit-for-tat manner. In his opinion, it will only become more and more difficult for future wizards to hide their whereabouts, because wizards and Muggles do not have any intersection.

For example, in England, young wizards who have awakened their magical talents will receive admission notices to Hogwarts, and their families will also learn of the existence of wizards.

Among these people, there are those who are kind to wizards, and there are also Muggles like the Dursleys who hate magic and hate wizards very much.

No matter what their choice is, one thing is certain, they will actively or passively spread news about wizards in the Muggle world.

The wizarding world has not been exposed until now. This is entirely because the Muggles' methods of spreading information are still very backward. In addition, the Muggle government is helping to clean up and cover up the results. Otherwise, the employees of the Ministry of Magic will not be able to do it at all. .

"The Secrecy Act has maintained this balance for more than three hundred years. I think this has reached its limit. We may not have another three hundred years!" Ivan said seriously, unless the global magic community simultaneously Wizards must implement stricter control, otherwise they will face this big trouble in up to fifty years.

Half a century seems like a long time, but if you want to promote communication between wizards and Muggles, this time is obviously not enough... It is better to do it sooner than later!

After possessing the Philosopher's Stone, Ivan's lifespan has been greatly extended. It is not a problem to live for hundreds or even thousands of years. Therefore, others can be a hands-off shopkeeper and leave the trouble to future generations to worry about, but he cannot!

Even if the war between wizards and Muggles breaks out two centuries later, he will still have to face it!

Dumbledore listened quietly to Ivan's words, neither expressing agreement nor objection. He knew very well that the secrecy law was only a temporary measure, but he also understood what a change would bring...

This will completely break the centuries-old tacit understanding between the Muggle government and wizards, and lead the world to chaos and unknown...

In the spacious principal's office, the atmosphere suddenly condensed. Dumbledore's eyes under his half-moon glasses were fixed on Ivan, his eyes full of scrutiny.

Ivan has no intention of backing down. With a large amount of magic power that he can squander at will, he has enough combat power to rival the Dark Lord. Although he cannot defeat Dumbledore who holds the Elder Wand, the opponent is obviously injured and his combat power is certain. will be weakened.

After a long stalemate, Dumbledore slowly spoke. "You are right, Hals, the magic world needs to make some changes..."

Ivan's heart was finally relieved, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Dumbledore continued to speak.

"But you can't give a perfect solution, can you?"

"Increasing the contact between wizards and Muggles means increasing the risk of exposure to the wizarding world. Since the implementation of the International Statute of Secrecy at the end of the seventeenth century, hiding has become the consensus of the global wizarding community. Many people have tried to break this This status quo, but they all failed without exception..."

"The resistance you need to face will only be much more than you think!" Dumbledore said with deep meaning.
