Pandaren Professor at Hogwarts
Chapter 182 The afterglow of the old era
Since the early 15th century, Muggle persecution of witches and wizards has taken steps across Europe.This makes people in the wizarding world rightly believe that using magic to help their Muggle neighbors is tantamount to adding more fuel to their own fire: many wizards and witches have been imprisoned for practicing witchcraft. and sentenced to death.
Although some escaped using magic, others were not so lucky and had their wands taken away and imprisoned in dungeons, unable to use magic to escape execution.
Wizarding families are especially vulnerable to losing their children, because children cannot control their magic and often attract the attention of Muggles who hunt wizards, and are unable to resist.
As Muggles increasingly persecute wizarding children, more and more Muggles force wizards to use magic for them, and the number of witch burnings increases, including the number of Muggles who are mistaken for witches and burned, all have become The catalyst that led to the introduction of the International Statute of Secrecy from the International Confederation of Wizards.
The newly established British Ministry of Magic sent a special delegation to contact the Muggle monarchs William III and Mary II, hoping that Muggle laws would recognize and protect wizards.The failure of this attempt to gain official recognition and protection forced shamans to voluntarily go in the opposite direction - to go underground and keep their secrets.
Against this background, the "Law of Secrecy" was promulgated in 1689, but it was not officially established until 3 years later in 1692, and was enforced by the magical governments of various countries.
The Statute of Secrecy states that each magical government is responsible for concealing the existence of the magical community in its country.In addition, they also need to control magical animals in their own country, curb public displays of magic by minors, and ensure that people engage in magical sports without the risk of being discovered by Muggles.
Initially many families strongly opposed the implementation of this law.Although they attach great importance to the value of pure blood and firmly believe that the status of wizards is higher than that of Muggles; and most of them have close relationships with Muggle nobles, by helping these nobles to collect large amounts of Muggle treasures and works of art, this makes them Able to live a very enjoyable life.
However, in the end, they still compromised because their urgent opposition would only keep them away from the center of power. So when the new Ministry of Magic was established, they began to become loyal supporters of the "Act of Secrecy", even though they were still secretly with Muggles. Maintain a distant relationship.
To this day, Muggle and wizard societies are segregated.
Witches naturally "formed their own little communities within the community."Many small villages attracted several wizarding families, who began to form their own communities, helping and protecting each other, and living among tolerant and sometimes confusing Muggles.
There are wizarding families living in Dingworth in Cornwall, Upper Flagley in Yorkshire, the village of Ottery St. Catchpole in Devon, and Godric's Hollow in southwest England. The most famous semi-wizard settlement.
However, the International Statute of Secrecy does not apply to all wizards. The world is a big place, and wizards in many places have not signed this law for various reasons, such as some countries in South Africa and some countries in East Asia.
The Chinese wizard led by Grindelwald opposite did not participate in the signing of the "International Statute of Secrecy". There are deep historical reasons for this, and there are also practical reasons.
"More than 40 years ago, wizards from the International Federation of Wizards came to us, hoping that we could join the International Federation of Wizards." Chairman Su recalled, "But after research by the older generation of revolutionaries, they finally rejected this idea. Thoughts, you know why?”
Grindelwald shook his head.
Sumo glanced at his master and saw that the old man had no intention of speaking out, so he explained: "China is the China of all Chinese people. It has nothing to do with ethnicity, region, and it has nothing to do with ordinary people or mages; all China Children jointly own this country and are all masters of this country; joining the "International Secrecy Act" will undoubtedly separate the Master from China. This is a kind of division, and we will never allow such a thing to happen.
So from that time on, we began to explore our own path to closely integrate mages with the country of China. This is also the goal that our mages association has been pursuing for many years; and we have lived up to expectations. Today's Chinese mages are among ordinary people. In my heart, there is not a mysterious existence, but a special profession, but this profession is innate;
Mages don't need to live in a corner of society. They can live in different ways in a community of ordinary people, and in a community of mages in a magistrate's way. Everyone can naturally integrate together.
At the end of the day, we are all here to build this country, no matter who is high or low. "
What Chairman Su said was categorical, very generous, and quite touching.
Grindelwald, who was sitting across from him, was lost in thought. As Chairman Su said, British wizards belong to the British Ministry of Magic, not the United Kingdom; the British Ministry of Magic and the British government are like the same territory. As two unrelated organizations, it is naturally difficult for the people of the two organizations to integrate together; this will lead to various contradictions.
But it seems that it is not an easy task to merge the British Ministry of Magic and the British government into one. The two were on opposite ends of the road at the beginning. Now it is not possible to merge them back onto the same road. Something that can be accomplished overnight.
"I want to walk around China in person and see with my own eyes what this society is like. Maybe it will give me some inspiration." Grindelwald expressed his request. Since he is unable to do what he wants, he can learn from the achievements of others. The best way.
"Yes." Grindelwald's request was immediately agreed to, but the person who agreed was not Chairman Su Mosu, but Uncle Ma. "We were as confused as you back then, but we had the correct thinking of a great man at that time. , now, I leave these thoughts in your hands, and it’s up to you how to choose.”
Although there is not much difference in grade between the two, Uncle Ma has obviously gone further on the road of change. He is the person who is at the forefront of the road of change, and his help to future generations is also the last afterglow of the old era.
Uncle Ma stood up, drank the tea in the teapot, and invited Grindelwald: "You can come and stay at my house during this period and see how an ordinary Chinese mage lives."
Although some escaped using magic, others were not so lucky and had their wands taken away and imprisoned in dungeons, unable to use magic to escape execution.
