HP's Foreign Land

Chapter 581 Argument

In the comprehensive inquiry room No. [-], there is a typewriter that has been enchanted. It will automatically record the remarks of the wizards present, which is a bit like a court trial record. After the inquiry is over, it will be used as one of the basis for future investigations and will be properly kept by the relevant departments.

This typewriter, originally produced by Olivetti in Italy, was introduced from the Muggle world to the wizarding world in 1930, and entered the International Federation of Wizards in the late 30s.Its arrival marked a signal that the Muggle world began to infiltrate into the wizarding world - that's what the newspapers at the time said, and the newspapers that day put this sentence first, and those seniors with the initials X under the code name of Grindelwald The Saints hang side by side on the headlines.

I heard that the saints used this title as an excuse to attack Belgium, where the headquarters of the International Federation of Wizards is located. What kind of tragic situation was in Bruges back then, it can be seen from the traces of magic left on the bricks of the street where the headquarters is located. However, the instigator unexpectedly survived intact, continuing to serve in the headquarters building of the International Federation of Wizards along with its other counterparts.It seems that the saints don't really want to be as knowledgeable as a typewriter, and if you want to trouble someone, even a sneeze can be the trigger.

The sound of this sixty-something-year-old typewriter is not pleasant when it is working, a bit like the harsh creaking sound of a lame chair under heavy pressure, combined with a rhythmic clack, forming a pleasing sound. A unique duet that is hard to ignore.

Few wizards are able to try to appreciate it.

Heimdall and the others walked into the comprehensive inquiry room No. [-] in the face of these strange noise-like movements. At first, he thought there was something wrong with the floor, and he kept looking down at his feet. Slowly dispelled this guess, until he saw the typewriter placed on the rostrum with his own eyes.It is eating one piece of blank paper after another at a fast speed, spitting out the conversation record with handwriting.

Typewriters are relatively common magical products in the wizarding world today. Although they are imported and their weird appearance runs counter to the inherent aesthetic concepts of wizards, after so many years of adaptation, wizards have become accustomed to their existence.

Unlike the case attended by the Estonian Ministry of Magic that day, today's interrogation was clearly not of a high level. Not to mention the small room, it was not in a cascading style like the Roman Colosseum, and the number of officials in charge of the interrogation remained at one place.Two are from the Hazardous Creatures Management Committee, two are from the International Police Force, and two are wizards from the International Charizard Breeding Association, making a total of six people.

When the three of the German school stood still in front of the rostrum, the five wizards who had blown their beards and stared at them in the waiting room just now were also brought in.The five wizards had cold faces, and they didn't forget to throw a knife at the three of them after approaching them all the way.

Only Karkaroff couldn't hold back and resisted silently - staring back, the other old and young looked at the rostrum intently, looking particularly negative.

After identity verification, the three members of the German school found out that among the five opponents, two belonged to the Council for the Management of Magical Creatures, and the other three belonged to the Romanian Ministry of Magic.

Even though the International Committee for the Management of Magical Creatures is a subsidiary department of the Wizarding Federation, the Federation is not showing favoritism, and even the date of attending the inquiry is consistent with other parties involved, instead of solving it in advance in private, making it clear that they must be treated equally.This increased Heimdall's sense of security a lot.On issues such as teaching materials and historical legacy, there have always been various differences between the German School and the Wizarding Union, and the relationship is not harmonious.If the Wizarding Union decides to cover up its subordinate departments, it is inevitable that the German school will suffer a dumb loss.

Against the background music of the ecstatic duet, the wizard from the Hazardous Creatures Treatment Committee took the lead in making a speech, and the following eight people, one on the left and one on the right, were already waiting in full force.

"We have made an inquiry today about the theft of the dragon egg at Durmstrang College and related incidents, and we hope you will report the truth."

The eight nodded silently.

"I am Cassiano of the Hazardous Organisms Committee, and I am inquiring about Durmstrang College on behalf of the Hazardous Organisms Committee."

Karkaroff quickly put on a look of listening attentively.

"Durmstrang found a dragon egg, is there such a thing?"

"That's it."

"Where was it discovered? Who was the first to discover it?"

"In the valley behind the campus. The first person to find the dragon egg was Heimdall Strulusson, a fifth-grade student at our school."

"Has Heimdall Strulusson come?"

This is the necessary process of inquiry, and some nonsense is always repeated.

Heimdall raised his hand, out of the background.

"Mr. Heimdall Strulusson?"

"Yes."

"Is what your principal said just now true?"

"true."

"Why are you there?"

Heimdall was stunned for a moment, and Casciano of the Hazardous Creatures Treatment Committee turned his head without changing his face, and glanced at the two wizards from the International Charizard Breeding Association, one of them still kept his focus on asking Heimdall, The other was equally indifferent to Casciano's gaze.It is very impolite for someone to grab the conversation without even saying hello, especially in an international formal occasion.

The two representatives of the International Police Force leaned back in their chairs without saying a word, giving up all the space in front of them to the left and right sides, so that they could pinch each other with their eyes, and pretended that they had nothing to do with themselves.

Casciano's dissatisfaction was already quite obvious, his eyes stayed on the other party for a long time, but unfortunately the other party ignored him and still stared at Heimdall.Casciano withdrew his gaze with a calm expression. His colleague raised his eyebrows and looked down at the documents on the table. It seemed that the right to speak had been handed over without complaint.

It is reasonable to say that these three departments should have assigned work before the inquiry began. After the inquiry began, they just need to follow the order of the interviews assigned at the beginning. I did not expect that the International Charizard Breeding Association has extra problems. It seems that I don’t care about offending other departments. .

"Why didn't you answer?" "Cheng Yaojin" from the International Charizard Breeding Association waited for a long time without seeing anything, and raised his voice unhappily, intending to scold him.

Heimdall still had that dull look, "May I ask who you are?"

Cheng Yaojin stretched his face, "Why don't you answer my question, because I have a ghost in my heart who can't answer it?"

This was just an inquiry before filing a case, but he acted as if he was recording a statement for a criminal suspect.Karkaroff was so angry that he was about to speak when Katenin tore off his robe.

"I just heard Mr. Casciano say that he is asking us on behalf of the Hazardous Organisms Treatment Committee. I am waiting for the next question from the Hazardous Organisms Treatment Committee." A trace of grievance appeared on Heimdalmund's dull face. "You don't want to tell me who you are, so I don't dare to talk. The inquiries are all recorded. If I use this as an excuse to trouble our school when we investigate the case later, I will be talking about the school. The hind legs sinner."

Cheng Yaojin's face suddenly became stiff, and his colleague's calmness disappeared.

Casciano glanced at Heimdall unexpectedly, probably not expecting him to be quite eloquent.Seeing the blushing of the International Charizard Breeding Association being blocked, he and his colleagues glanced at each other, and they both saw comfort in each other's eyes.

Karkaroff looked beaming, and cast a beaming glance at Katenin, seemingly saying, "Look, I know this kid won't bear the burden of humiliation", and he didn't know who was jumping up and down in a hurry just now.

In stark contrast to the joy on their side were the other five wizards who were waiting to be questioned. Originally, they were also prepared to refute like Karkaroff, but the implication of Heimdall's words forced them to take the shock into consideration. The words that came to my lips were swallowed back into my stomach, it was very uncomfortable to hold back.The representatives of the Romanian Ministry of Magic and the Management Committee of Magical Creatures, who had become a united front, had no choice but to stand aside and worry.

After all, Cheng Yaojin was not a young man who just graduated from school. He smiled a few times with acting skills, and gestured to Casciano, leaned back on the back of the chair, and retreated temporarily.His posture was lowered, but he kept silent about his inappropriate behavior, and he didn't see any intention of apologizing.Cheng Yaojin thought that anyway, the three departments had agreed that each department could only ask three questions that they thought were the most critical.As mentioned above, there is a limit on the number of questions to be asked before filing a case, in order to prevent the inquiry meeting from being held for too long.

The three members of the German school can now see that the Dangerous Creatures Treatment Committee and the International Charizard Breeding Association are at odds. No matter whether they have been at odds before or because of this incident, at least they are not happy at this moment. Will work together to persecute the German school.

The Hazardous Creatures Management Committee once sent people to investigate the site. Because the Magical Creatures Management Committee was one of the people involved, the investigation work that originally belonged to them was later transferred to the Dangerous Creatures Management Committee.They knew the details of the dragon egg and the valley environment better than the teachers and students of the German school. In the ensuing inquiry, Casciano ended the inquiry of his department after asking two symbolic questions.

The International Charizard Breeding Association couldn't wait to play, and Cheng Yaojin was still in charge of asking questions, and immediately revealed his identity, his name was Medici.

Mr. Medici always insists on the origin of the dragon egg. Karkaroff has repeatedly stated that there is no problem with the origin of the dragon egg. If possible, he is willing to provide some records from the beginning of the establishment of the German school. The description of the dragon egg, but these materials are old, and later wizards didn't care.Medici seems to believe that this is an excuse for the German school. The International Charizard Breeding Association has no records in this regard. This association keeps records of the birthplace and breeding of charizards all over the world, but there is no German school.Karkaroff said that there are chirping beasts in the mountains, and chirping beasts are not creatures that can gather to form a group in ten or eight years, which is enough to explain the problem.The German School has been established for more than 1000 years, but the Charizard Association has a history of only 300 years. It is no wonder that it has the same situation as the German School.

These explanations couldn't stop Medici from messing around with the three questions. Even though he didn't get a real handle, he still disgusted the three of the German school.Karkaroff looked unlucky, and Heimdall decided to provide grapefruit leaves to the principal for free after he went out.

The International Charizard Breeding Association is a staunch supporter of the Romanian Dragon's Den. It was through their advice and participation in the establishment of the Dragon's Den.For hundreds of years, in cooperation with the Council of Magical Creatures and the Romanian Ministry of Magic, under the slogan "Everything is for the fire-breathing dragon", countless dragons and dragon eggs have been "robbed" from other countries in an open and honest manner.On the one hand, other countries do not want to haggle with them, but on the other hand, they also believe that it is better for dragons to stay in the "protected area", not only the dragons are safe, but also the wizards in the country are safe.Back when there were still many wild fire-breathing dragons, dragons were a certain threat to the peace and security of the wizarding world. Most wizards supported the proposal to better protect the personal safety of wizards without killing them all. It's a way to get the best of both worlds.

All in all, the International Charizard Breeding Association has been affirmed to a certain extent in the protection of Charizards. They were once the winners of the Barnabas Finkley Special Contribution Award for their outstanding contributions to the breeding of Charizards.

Masters of magical animal research such as Hernando have never bought their account. Even if a protected area is established, you shouldn't raise dragons like cattle and sheep in a livestock farm, and they still feed them.Researchers believe that the original intention of the establishment of the Dragon Lair is good, but the breeding method is problematic. As long as a territory is drawn for the dragon and patrolled around to prevent wandering wizards, why interfere with the life of the dragon?

Under the connivance of the International Charizard Breeding Association, the Romanian Ministry of Magic regards itself as the god of charizards, not only interfering with what they eat and how much they eat, but also how many children they have.The wildness of the dragon in the dragon's lair is fading bit by bit. The battle for territory that was staged from time to time, and several bloody conflicts broke out, but now it is becoming more and more peaceful.Anyway, the wizards will give them food - occupying most of the land in order to get more hunting opportunities, now they don't have to worry about the source of food, and the wizards take care of their offspring, and the fire-breathing dragons are getting more and more home.

As one of the main proponents of the establishment of the Dragon Lair, the International Charizard Breeding Association agrees with the Romanian Ministry of Magic on this matter. The German school should obediently send the dragon to the Dragon Lair instead of applying for dragon breeding Granted, ignoring the existence value of the dragon's lair, the most important thing is that they skipped the International Charizard Breeding Association and directly reported to the higher level, and even sued the Romanian Ministry of Magic and the Magical Creature Management Committee with great fanfare, which is really unreasonable.

To put it bluntly, these institutions and departments that are inextricably linked to the dragon are like grasshoppers on a rope, and they are indispensable.

In fact, if the Magical Creatures Management Committee hadn't made their own claims, Karkaroff and Katenin might have handed over the dragon to the Dragon's Lair, just because they took it without warning for their righteous illegal possession, and even shamelessly accused the German school of stealing The dragon's lair completely aroused the anger and rebellious psychology of the two principals, which strengthened and consolidated the idea of ​​raising dragons in the Durmstrang Mountains.

Even if we disabled the dragon, it would not be cheap for you!

After the German school was questioned by the two departments separately, it was thought that the international police force on the next round did not say a word.The Hazardous Organisms Treatment Committee and the International Charizard Breeding Association were a little puzzled, and the two agents raised their hands to signal the Hazardous Organisms Treatment Committee to continue.Then it was the turn of the other five wizards.It wasn't until the five were interviewed that representatives from the International Police Force made any movement.

They first questioned the Romanian Ministry of Magic.

"As far as we know, Professor Katenen once reported the case to the wizarding police in Romania. Is there such a thing?"

The three Romanian wizards hesitated and said that there was no such thing. Heimdall wrote the list in the name of Katenen, but it was taken away by the security guards. Maybe the paper was destroyed when they turned around. .

"What do you say?" The detective looked at the three of the German school.

Heimdall and Katenen exchanged quick glances. The latter said that he had indeed reported the case, but for some reason the Ministry of Magic did not let him in that day. The report form was written in the security office and delivered by the security guard. of.

Three representatives of the Romanian Ministry of Magic insisted that he was lying and that it was impossible to fill out any forms without entering the Ministry.

Every Ministry of Magic, including the headquarters of the International Federation of Wizards, has signature records when entering and leaving. That is, if you want to enter a Ministry of Magic in a certain place, you must leave your name, date of visit, and wand registration records with the security guards.Heimdall and the others did not enter the door at that time, of course there are no such records.These three are sure about this reversal of right and wrong.

Heimdall felt that they were a bit pitiful at this time. The detective's question just now was very clear, "Professor Katenen once reported the case to the Romanian wizard police." The international police force even knew in whose name the report form was written. Palm, still not sure if there is such a thing? !

The two detectives remained calm, looked at the three wizards calmly, and wrote down things in their notebooks with a calm face.

The three sorcerers couldn't help flirting with each other, looking like a villain, thinking they had gotten away with it.

The agent looked at the three of the German school, "Your school accused the Management Committee of Magical Creatures of negligence, and the Romanian Ministry of Magic for using power for personal gain?"

Karkaroff nodded firmly.

"Do you have anything to say?" The detective turned to the five. "This is not the official hearing of the Wizengamot. There is no need to hide anything, and I will give you a chance to speak freely."

"Durmstrang College bullies people too much!" Five people quickly elected a representative, and the representative directly condemned the German school. "As we all know, in the whole of Europa, only Romania's dragon dens are qualified to raise dragons. Durmstrang raised dragons without authorization, which violated the first article of the "Prohibition of Breeding Class A Magical Creatures". Breeding Class A magical creatures under the premise of permission."

Class A magical creatures classified by wizards include rare species such as dragons, chimeras, and mermaids.

The detective looked at the three of the German school without changing their expressions.

This time it was Heimdall who answered.

"I want to make an analogy." Although the other party's accusation made him very indignant and a little dumbfounded, Heimdall's speech was still very steady.Relying on the self-righteous backer of the other party, he is confident, so Durmstrang, who must maintain his own image and fight for his own rights, must have temperament. "Suppose I found a wallet containing 1 Galleons on the ground, but the owner was nowhere to be found, so I took this wallet and prepared to go to the local wizarding security department to ask them to find the owner. On the road, does that count as stealing other people’s property?”

Without waiting for any reaction from the other side, Heimdall continued, "We found the dragon egg and reported it to the Management Committee of Magical Creatures, asking them to send experts to investigate whether what we reported was true. We never thought of raising this dragon egg ourselves. Dragon, but the unannounced handling of this matter by the Management Committee of Magical Creatures is really chilling." He said, looking at the wizard who was speaking on behalf of him. "Don't tell us that the Magical Creatures Management Committee didn't receive the letter reporting the situation, and don't tell us that those three people who stayed in our school for just one night were able to transfer the dragon eggs and the chirping beasts to the other side of the mainland in an instant. The experts are not from your committee."

The wizard drew a long face and said nothing.

The representative of the Romanian Ministry of Magic saw that the situation was not good and immediately said: "You also mentioned other people's wallets just now. Is it true that Durmstrang is really planning to violate the ban on breeding?"

Heimdall smiled shortly, "Now that things have happened, your country's Ministry of Magic still wants us to let go of the past and hand over the dragon eggs to you without any grievances? No, thank you, we have already applied for a dragon breeding license, your country's Ministry of Magic Let us completely abandon the original intention of handing over the dragon eggs, because your way of handling things has disappointed us, and we think that our dragon eggs are not safe and reliable in your country."

"Dragon eggs are not Durmstrang's!" cried the Romanian wizard, jumping to his feet.

"Why didn't the dragon eggs found on our school's land belong to the German school?" Heimdall felt that he was simply unreasonable. "Ask yourself, do you dare to say that the dragons in the dragon's lair are all from Romania? They belong to the original place of those dragons! Among the many scientific names of fire-breathing dragons that have been used to this day, which one is related to Romania? Romania provides places for dragons to live , at best, it is the landlord, how can the landlord force the tenant and everything owned by the tenant to belong to his own reason!"

"Excessive words! Unreasonable!"

"It seems that you know yourself well!"

The Romanian wizard was furious, and the others looked like they were fighting against each other.

The International Charizard Association and the Hazardous Organisms Treatment Committee remained silent, and the inquiry turned into mutual questioning, entirely due to the deliberate connivance of the international police force.

Before the International Police Force announced the end of the inquiry, Heimdall said: "Whether the "Prohibition of Breeding of Class A Magical Creatures" or the "Dangerous Creatures Restraint Act", "Supplementary Regulations for the Restraint of Dangerous Creatures Act", "International Federation of Wizards The Approved Breeding Standards for Class A Magical Creatures” and the corresponding approved list, or other wizarding laws related to fire-breathing dragons, there is no one that really proves that the Romanian Dragon Den will always be the only legal dragon breeding institution in Europe. Your country It's just the only one that has been allowed so far, but it doesn't mean that no one else in Europa can apply except your country. The reason why the International Federation of Wizards hasn't abolished the window that allows applications for raising Class A magical creatures for so many years doesn't explain this point ?"

The faces of the five wizards were ugly, and the little face of the representative of the International Charizard Breeding Association was also dark and gloomy.

What Heimdall said is the truth, no matter how brazen they are, they can't sing against it in front of the police.Facts hurt the most, especially for wizards who have spent hundreds of years ignoring facts.

Until he left the inquiry room, Karkaroff, who was walking at the end, still kept his dreamy face, whispering to Katenin who turned his face from time to time.

At this moment, Mr. Principal felt that Mr. Stulusson's back looked old and tall, and he always felt safe.
