All things are three at Hogwarts

"Alan told me that he felt that it would be a bit lonely to have only one floating city floating alone in the sky in the world." Owen's eyes slowly swept over the faces of these wizards, "So I want to ask everyone for your opinion. Do you also want to arrange for a region to float into the sky? If my son serves as the president of the Wizards Federation, then he is willing to take on this responsibility and regularly take time out to assist some countries to complete it, so that our entire magic The world has enjoyed this qualitative leap and progress."

Owen's words were like throwing a depth charge, causing an uproar and making this originally quiet restaurant no longer quiet.

This condition was completely beyond the expectations of these wizards: the floating city is unique in the world, but it is a technology unique to the UK and even the Harris family. The recent production of the floating city has proved that the UK can completely rely on this technology to monopolize a variety of industries.

This is also the main reason why Britain is hostile to other countries. But now without warning, after the counterattacks and sanctions imposed by other countries have been sustained by Britain and are basically in name only, it is actually willing to help other countries build floating cities.

Compared with the huge benefits of floating city technology, the position of president of the International Federation of Wizards is not worth mentioning at all, and it is even said that this is what it should be.

Some wizards couldn't wait to finalize the agreement with Owen, and even stood up in excitement, thinking that this "selfless" minister was being stupid and wanted to sign the agreement while the iron was hot for fear that the other party would regret it. This also made some ministers who were originally more calm. He couldn't join in calmly and made the banquet even more chaotic.

"Please rest assured that this is not my personal whim. It is the result of careful consideration by the United Kingdom. Of course, the cost of production and some rare materials need to be borne by the applicant country itself." Owen said half-jokingly, and then his face straightened, "Our only additional condition Yes...my son Allen's time and energy are limited. He can assist you in using the energy core and help you complete the initial ascension work by relying on personal power...so..."

"We will provide Mr. Ellen Harris with generous remuneration!" Russian Congressman Bokov seemed to have taken a stimulant. She raised her head and looked at Owen with bright eyes. She slapped the table with her thick fist. "Minister Harris, whether it's materials or gold galleons, these have never been a problem for us in Russia! We will become Britain's most reliable ally!"

"Well, I believe that the Russian magic world with its large territory has rich raw materials, but please calm down and listen to me. I think Representative Bokov should know that my son is also an alchemist master who owns the magic stone. So there is actually no shortage of gold for us..." Owen waved his hand to the Russian witch, "Actually, this itself is also related to nuclear power. Since my son cannot come to help you maintain it at any time, the applicant country needs to build a Raven In the temple of Goddess Crow, the energy core will be prevented from becoming the central store of this floating city. Although Ms. Rowena Ravenclaw is not physically present, she can use her divine power to help maintain this temple in her temple. An energy core... The service fee she charges is just a little bit of faith provided to her by local wizards."

As soon as this condition came out, there was only a slight pause - the vast majority of the wizarding country has no faith, and most of them just shout slogans like Merlin's beard as a sign of respect for some special beings, and only a few have the tradition of worshiping gods. Only then did countries begin to hesitate and weigh.

Owen didn't give them much time to react, and in a slightly more arrogant tone than before, he told some news that was not so good for other countries.

"Everyone, let's put the ugly words in plain sight. It needs to be explained that because my son will not live in other floating cities for a long time, the range of influence of an energy core will only have a radius of one mile..." In the room Now only Owen's voice could be heard. He paused, picked up the wine glass, moistened his throat, and continued in a somewhat arrogant tone unique to the British, "Currently, our Hogwarts floating city itself is not fully populated. Before the next round of expansion, it is reasonable and sufficient for us, as a British provider, to maintain a floating city of about one mile in other partner countries to meet the basic needs of each country. In addition, in terms of application targets, because Allen's experience is limited, and this kind of product is too expensive and complicated and takes a lot of time, so we in the UK will make independent considerations to make licensing and sorting arrangements..." Irving had a smile on his lips and spoke confidently, "Finally, I I have to remind everyone that we will not oppose or prevent your silent people or other wizards from approaching and studying the Mystic energy core... But just like the energy core in the floating city of Hogwarts, no matter how minor or serious, everything that touches the Mystic energy will Nuclear behavior will cause those who touch it to be annihilated. This kind of damage is inevitable and irreparable...so if there is a human life caused by this, we will not be responsible..."

Others present did not take it seriously to what Irving said.

In fact, for countries that have already sent many wizards to find out whether openly or secretly, after even paying a lot of lives and actions, the most they can get is to be silenced by their own silent people. There is nothing gained except that it is confirmed that this is an artifact directly connected to the original magic power.

After that, they also tried to use a variety of methods to force the British but failed. After that, these countries basically gave up the idea of ​​possessing this artifact, and now hearing what Irving said, they also understood that it was not Harris. Hot-headed, this kind of knowledge that seems to be impossible to master by other wizards, is like the Floo powder invented by Ignatia Will Smith. Except for qualified manufacturers, almost no one has successfully imitated it through self-research. possible.

And this is where Harris’ confidence and confidence lie.

"The conditions we require are actually complementary to the conditions we gave. In the final analysis, they are all for the common prosperity of the magic world..." Owen slowly took a sip of wine and added, "With the energy core in the floating city, We can build stable and permanent portals that are farther than Floo powder and Apparition, and more convenient than Portkeys, and the nation will also use these to form our new trade network... My friends who know magic, If you know some of the Muggle situation, then in Alan's words, this will be a renaissance in the wizarding world, and can even be said to be our industrial revolution..."

"Minister Harris, India is willing to carry out in-depth cooperation with the United Kingdom, and we can reach consensus in all aspects." High Priest Kusrapali leaned forward to communicate with Owen, and was so excited that his turban fell off. He seemed to be completely thinking After understanding the decision, he completely ignored the religious issues of himself and his own people. "The Ravenclaw Temple can completely become the most central building on the floating city, and the teachings of the goddess Ravenclaw should be given." Preach.”

Karkaroff's goatee trembled. He knew very well that with his consistent position and his friendly relationship with Harris, his school's floating was basically not a problem. Mrs. Maxim and the principals of some magic schools could not control the smiles on their faces - their country would undoubtedly choose these magic schools to fly into the sky as the core of the floating city.

The atmosphere of the banquet was now different from the previous one, which was full of hidden hostility and innuendo against Britain. Looking at the friendly and flattering expressions on those people's faces, Owen let himself lean on the chair, and the corners of his mouth turned up to reveal a satisfied smile. , fingers brushing across chin

Now only the French female minister Binoche is feeling a little disappointed and worrying about gains and losses. She crossed one of her long legs, put her hands on her cheeks, pursed her lips, and frowned her beautiful eyebrows: Owen first explained to various countries that Britain will It provides great benefits, and then emphasizes that these benefits are not so easy to obtain. Finally, it paints a big pie for everyone to see clearly the key benefits.

The British Ministry of Magic has successfully used the benefits brought by its technical advantages to mobilize and control the emotions of other people. Now no one is paying attention to whether Allen will serve as the president of the International Federation of Wizards - now The atmosphere shows that no matter which country understands that if you want to have this kind of treatment, you must maintain a close relationship with the United Kingdom. And for the floating city, every country will want to please Britain...

Originally, Britain was isolated by all the magical countries in the world, and only a few countries like France could support them in their stance. But now after this incident, small countries have been won over by Britain economically, and big countries have to rely on Britain in order to own the floating city and for later maintenance - then the isolation situation that Britain was in before will be reversed. As a result, those countries that are completely against Britain may begin to decline in the competition for hegemony in the magical world.

For Britain, France's political role and importance seemed to be dispensable.
