Chapter 1218
What this Selwyn kid said is true!
The wizards present were all pure-bloods, and they knew full well that things would indeed turn out as Solim had said. Muggle magnates would marry wizards to give birth to the next generation with magical powers.
But what can they do? Restart the Quarantine Act, like American wizards do?
No kidding!Through the "Quarantine Law", wizards and Muggles cannot intermarry?So what about so many half-blood wizards in Europe now? Declare them illegal? Or turn a blind eye? Besides, now is the key node in the communication between wizards and Muggles, what is the reactivation of the "Isolation Law"?Demolition of the Presbyterian Church~?
It is clear to all that the reactivation of the Quarantine Act is very unrealistic and unlikely to succeed.
The only thing pure-blood wizards could do was to strictly restrain their clansmen from intermarrying Muggles. Wizarding laws can't be forbidden on the surface, so use the power of the family to manage.
The pure-blood wizards here may be able to ensure the purity of the bloodline of the next generation of the family, but there will always be marriages between wizards and Muggle magnates, and everyone knows this.
Once you have a descendant with magical powers, and there is a magical riot in early childhood, then you will inevitably receive an admission notice from the local magic school, and then systematically learn magic knowledge.
Don't put pressure on the school to ban them from taking in these little wizards. It's not like pure-blood wizards haven't done this kind of thing, and that's how a large part of the chaos of the Hogwarts Big Four era came about, but what about the end result?
Such a young wizard is very different from other half-blood wizards or Muggle wizards. From the moment of the Magic Riot, they were saddled with relevant interests. They would look neither towards wizards nor Muggles, but on behalf of their respective interests.
The good thing is that with this group of people as a buffer, it is a foregone conclusion that the two societies will mingle with each other, and they will be more professional than pure-blood wizards and have more say than Muggle wizards. But the downside is that if they don't get a good sense of proportion, they will offend both pure-blood wizards and other Muggles and half-blood wizards who are trying to have more of a voice.
These social problems, which are bound to arise in the future, are not under the jurisdiction of the Solim department. The question is to tell these wizards that something is destined to happen from the time wizards and Muggles begin to communicate and merge with each other.
It's like the potion brewing technology and herb cultivation technology that wizards care about right now. No matter how reluctant the wizards were, they would eventually be acquired by these Muggle interests—sooner or later.
"The rats who are making small moves behind their backs—whether it's the church, or some pure-blood family that doesn't deal with the Presbyterians, or even vampires...... The leak of the Philosopher's Stone news this time is not necessarily a bad thing. "
Solim concluded: "At least we can intervene in the direction of something that we can accept, at least which Muggles can get our help and which ones don't, these are things that can be decided." "
"You mean...... Agent?" Clermont rubbed his chin and seemed very interested in the topic.
The eyes of the other wizards in the chamber lit up and began to discuss in whispers.
Solim had already pointed out the problem, and these wizards were not fools, and soon realized that the initiative was still in their hands.
Rather than let the Muggle magnates and lowly mudblood wizards grow up savagely and disorderly, it is better to take matters into their own hands and raise an agent. Wouldn't it be better to bring the powerful people of Muggle society into their interest groups early on?
The agent groups cultivated by pure-blood wizards are not the same as the interest groups formed by Muggles marrying wizards themselves.
The former is still controlled by pure-blood wizards, while the latter is a group of Muggle elites who are nothing more than tools for them to acquire magical knowledge.
Pure-blood families can choose an unimportant side of the family to marry the Muggle elite, so that they can pool the resources of both societies while also ensuring the purity of the bloodline.
But if the Muggle magnates win over wizards themselves, the only ones who can respond to them will be wizards or half-blood wizards who are also Muggle-borns, and even if they are lucky, the best person to marry is only a pure-blood wizard who has fallen down.
The gap between the two is still quite large.
If pure-blood wizards do this, they will occupy most of the market in a short period of time through the connections and resources of both societies, and the latter ...... It is estimated that the children after the marriage were not born at that time.
"I'll report the minutes of this meeting to the Council of Thirteen. Clermont glanced down at the parchment that was being automatically recorded, "You can be prepared until their decision comes down, but I don't want any of you here to cross the line." "
The big leader's sudden brainless words made Solim stunned for a moment, only to find that none of the wizards present frowned, as if this was a very normal statement.
However, he quickly reacted, got the inside information and then laid out in advance, and then took the lead in eating the big cake, which is quite a normal thing for the upper class. Solim just hasn't experienced it, but that doesn't mean he can't turn a corner.
The meeting was adjourned.
Willard took Solim and Lesotho into Clermont's office. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
A room full of relatives.
"How's it going? Our old man is right?"
As soon as the door closed, Solim's grandfather, Lesotho, skillfully sat down in the guest seat and chatted with Clermont.
"Hmph, it's his son. Clermont glanced at Solim, "We do know more about Muggles than we do, and we see things quite deeply. Are you really decided? Leave it to him?"
Solim looked at his grandfather, and then at Clermont. I don't understand what kind of dumb riddle these two are playing. []
Turning his head to glance at Willard, he shook his head slightly, and Solim stopped asking aloud.
"With such a big piece of cake and no one in your family looking at it, will your family rest assured?" Lesotho asked.
"Whatever you want, transferring positions is a matter of one sentence anyway. Clermont waved his hand and walked back behind his desk.
Lesotho looked back at Solim and said with a smile, "Congratulations, little one, you're getting promoted." "
"Me?" said Solim, tapping to his chest.
"My brother is not very promising, but he has a good grandson, at least you are a good one of the three grandchildren. Your second brother has other things to do, and you happen to know more about the Muggle stuff, so we're going to leave this matter to you. "
"What about my current ......"
"What?" Clermont looked at Solim strangely, "a position as head of the liaison office is not worth it? "
"Uh...... No. Solim thought for a moment, "I'm barely up to the task of coming up with ideas, but if I'm in charge of something...... To be honest, I don't have any experience with this. "
"You don't have to worry about this, we don't want you to be an errand. Lesotho waved his hand, "The Council of Thirteen, they need an advisory committee to assist them with some decisions regarding Muggles, and the family is ready to get you in." "
What is the Council of Thirteen? It's like the Security Council of the United Nations, the most powerful decision-making level in the Presbyterian Church, and the old monster of the Selwyns, Cadmus, is one of them.
Solim, who received the news, was dumbfounded. Now are you going to face those old monsters who have lived for an unknown number of hundreds of years?
